A once in a lifetime experience!
We just got back from an amazing 10 day Safari that Earthlife Expeditions planned and customized for us. Our driver and guide Kessy Evod was knowledgeable, very attentive with a wonderful personality - a dexterous and adept driver on the dusty and extremely bumpy roads, he made sure we had an incredible experience and saw everything imaginable. We went from a wonderful scenic day trek to the first base camp in Kilimanjaro to the Tarangire National Park where we saw multitudes of elephants and their families, baboons, wildebeest and zebras. In Manyara we had a visit to a village and farms where there is an abundance of fruits and vegetables and had a delicious local meal. We also went to the Olduvai Gorge and their impressive modern museum and had a chance to visit a Maasai village near the Ngorongoro Conservation area. The highlight, needless to say, was time spent in Central and North Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater, where we experienced the vastness and beauty of the savannah and saw all the wildlife imaginable - innumerable bird species, lions, zebras, giraffes, crocodiles, hundreds of hippos, and, ultimately, the migration of thousands of wildebeest. The accommodations, were always comfortable especially at the Simba Lodge in Tarangire and the Tanzania Bush Camps in the Serengeti. Surprisingly, there was WiFi and charging stations in the reception areas. The food too, always varied and good and especially so at Eileen’s Tree Inn in Karatu where the chef was innovative and exceptional! Thanks, once again, to Kessy for giving us the breaks we needed and for his help and caring attitude. It made the whole trip worthwhile - the trip of a lifetime!
Bonus: in August cool mornings and nights and NO mosquitoes!

Wonderful communication and very down to earth and insightful guide.
We had such a wonderful experience on the Gorilla Trek.
Our guide, Godfrey was amazing. He was so insightful and made sure that we were comfortable and happy on every step of the trip. I honestly cannot fault him. He even found us a great local restaurant to eat lunch at on the way to Bwindi
The Gorilla Trek was wonderful too, it was definitely an experience we won’t soon forget and we're very glad we chose to go with Bamboo Ecotours.

Amazong Kenya woth Magical Retreats
We visited Kenya from 2nd to 8th August this year
After a long search i finalized the plan with Magical retreats specially after reading the reviews and a very helpful chat with Pamela.
She was very helpful and provided me with every information I needed.
We selected the lodges with mutual understanding.
She was also there to receive us at the airport.
We were very lucky to have Mr. Peter with us as our guide and driver. I think he is the best in spotting animals and our game drive in Masai mara was amazing.
Over all I will recommend them to everyone, and will definitely go with them in my next trip to Kenya.

The driver/guide was knowledgeable but did not provide all of the agreed services.
The driver/guide was knowledgeable and did a great job of pointing out animals, birds and vegetation. However, we were to get lunch on the second day and he dropped us off at the hotel without it. When I asked, he said that we'd forget it as he needed to repair the vehicle. The vehicle did need repair. Someone had to push it in order for it to start. In addition, it needed cleaning as I ended up with oil on my suitcase.

Fantastic safari experience
My husband and I had the most wonderful time in Tanzania. We have seen so much incredible wildlife and beautiful nature scenes. The Sirini team was excelent from the beginning till the end. Our guide was fantastic, very patient and spotted animals from miles away. This was better then we ever could image and was a dream come true. Thanks again for the most amazing experience.

Extremely informative !!
Our driver Alan Martin was excellent in information service and safety. He was above excellent. Kennedy and his lovely wife was most accommodating. I love the hearts of the Kenyan people. I continue to pray for them. Best company thus far on my mission trips to Kitale. Will definitely use them again and again. See you in 2020. Hello Martin aka Walter. Lol. Rita Martin.Elevate Church
