A true, personalized, and attentive experience
My wife and I booked our honeymoon in Tanzania through East Africa Wild, amidst the pandemic and craziness happening in the world, and could not have been more satisfied.
Alym and his partners took very good care of us. They were always available to answer questions and help us feel comfortable, before and throughout our trip. The attentiveness to our concerns could not have been better.
We stayed 6 nights in Tanzania - one night in Arusha, one in Tarangire, two in the Serengeti, and one at the Ngorongoro crater. The hotel and lodges met or exceeded our expectations (especially Maramboi). Our driver was fun, friendly, patient, and very knowledgeable about the wildlife and vegetation. We saw everything: big 5, big cats, Rhinos, and more. The experiences were incredible!
Our itinerary was custom built and perfect for us. It considered everything from dates, lodges/camps, routes, expectations, and more; It was truly a personal experience. We then checked very similar itineraries against competitors (e.g. big name companies and local operators) and East Africa Wild provided better service and better value for money (before booking the trip). Now, after the honeymoon, we can also confidently say that we were NOT let down by the quality either. Our guide, our accommodation, our welcoming, our farewell, every detail, was met or exceeded expectations.
We highly recommend working with East Africa Wild to have your dream safari come true.
Finally, while in Tanzania, COVID-19 was among the least of our concerns. There is as much or more of a risk at home than any of the lodges or camps we stayed at.
Thanks Alym, Hasan, and the rest of the East Africa Wild team.

Perfect Honeymoon Safari!
I am so happy that we chose Right Choice Safaris for our 8 day honeymoon trip. Prior to the trip George and Millicent were so responsive and intent on making sure we got everything we wanted out of the trip. We ended up doing a lot of this last minute due to the uncertainty with COVID but they were able to get us reservations in all the camps/lodges that I wanted. They also offered a full refund if something changed last minute and we weren't able to come because of COVID. Luckily, that did not happen and we had the trip of our lives! Joshua, our guide, was absolutely fantastic! He knew tons about the animals and could tell by their behavior whether they were hungry and ready to hunt or were more likely to just relax. This resulted in us getting to see 4 cheetahs hunt and kill an antelope in Maasai Mara, an unbelievable sight! We also caught the wildebeest migration just on time, only having to wait about 20 minutes while others waited all day. There were a lot more highlights but I'll let you see for yourselves! It was a pleasure to spend 8 days with Joshua. He was truly knowledgable, very eager to please, flexible, professional and timely. I highly, highly recommend requesting him as your guide. Right Choice Safaris did an excellent job in making our honeymoon special including having every place we stay decorate our bed with flowers and they even added "Just Married" tire covers to the back of our jeep that were quite a hit with the other guides. Overall: fair price, excellent service, amazing experience.

Excellent Tour and Service
The 3-day tour of Amboseli was just perfect! George was our driver and he took us all the way form Nairobi to Amboseli then drove us all over the park for 3 days. He knew the park roads inside and out and found massive numbers of elephants, zebras, giraffes, wildebeest, impala, cape buffalo, hippos and even a pair of lions.

punctual and reliable
I was on 4-Day Mikumi NP, Udzungwa Mountain Trekking and Maasai. That was great experience. I really liked punctuality and driving skill of the guide (Lenard). Also the company provided experienced safari guides and we saw all animals including lions. The only animal that I haven't seen was leopard. Accommodation was also convenient.
Minuses that I noticed:
1. Food in the hotel. Menu was poor and the same during all days (rice, chicken, beef, eggs, pancakes). At the same time you will not stay hungry.
2. Guide in Udzungwa was not really great, he was a lot on the phone and with other guides that we met.
Overall I really liked the safari.

We couldn’t have asked more from this experience! Excellent service!
We couldn’t have been more lucky and satisfied with our experience with Spirit of Kenya, particularly during the Safari! We sure fell even more in love with Africa after this experience and we hope to be back soon!
We don’t know about the other guides, but ours was just brilliant!! We had a really great time with Joseph, he has incredible instincts and skills spotting animals in the parks! He taught us a lot about animals too!
We definitely recommend Spirit of Kenya as a reliable and high-quality tour operator! Please keep up with your excellent service!!!

I was impresed from the begining by the perfect tuning of pur guid Douglas. Also jos knoledge aboud masai and the rezerve vere impresing. He was drive extremely carefull and all the tripa were wery confortabile with no jumps despite that the roads were after some taina quite dificult. He knows all roads and crossing points. Also he Have respect for the rules of rezerve and a proactive attitude. Husa respect for wild life impresia me top, for exemple he wait until a Snake can ne avoided during his crossing of the road. Maybe for this he knows animale and their places and etology very well. I remember that we were only us to observe a five leonesse pack. Not in the end his humorus and cheerfull attitude was completing the tripa. I want to thanks also to Robert for his help in chossing Best variant and schedule.

Kilimanjaro- Overwhelming Experience-Marangu Route
I contacted Fahamu Safaris because I wanted to climb Kilimanjaro.
From the beginning, the contact was very straightforward and the team tried very hard to organize a tour that would meet my personal needs as a female solo traveler. Before my Trip started, I received quick and helpful answers to all questions and concerns, so that I felt that I was in good hands right from the start. Unfortunately, I had problems with the outward flight, so I arrived a day later than originally planned. However, for the Fahamu Safaris-Team this was not a problem at all. They quickly rearranged everything on site for me, so that I could still take the hike. My guide picked me up at the airport. We discussed the route again and my equipment was checked by the team, to make sure I have everything I need for the upcoming days. The tour was organized very professionally and was individually adapted to my possibilities and abilities. Again, I felt that I was in good hands right from the start. The guide had a lot of experience and knowledge. The route and tour was perfect for me, the food and service during the hike were excellent and I had an amazing time.
All in all, my trip went perfectly fine and exceeded my expectations. The price was also more than fair and I can only recommend Fahamu Safaris, if you plan to hike Kilimanjaro.
