Warning - do NOT book your air ticket with day safari adventure
I booked a return ticket to Australia on the 12th June 2017 and deposited Kshs 150,000 into Day Safari Adventure's account.
First she promised to get an emirates ticket, two days later no ticket then she said she was waiting for an upgrade then on before the date of travel she changed to Qatar and send out the itinerary. On arriving the airport, the ticket had been cancelled. 3 weeks later No refunds up to today and Amanda will NOT pick up calls she will only reply to text messages with excuses galore. I had to buy another ticket over the counter inevitable costing more!! Am in the process of instigating an official complaint to relevant authorities once i get all information in place - I will update this forum with the outcome

Gracious hosts and excellent game finders
After visiting both the school and orphanage project as well as taking a 5 day organized safari, Peace Matunda earned my highest recommendation on all accounts. Kaaya, Peace Matunda’s founder and director, worked directly with me and my husband to coordinate a safari itinerary that included the specific highlights we were hoping to see. This included a well-organized tour of three parks (Tarangire, Serengeti, & Ngorongoro) as well as a Maasai village visit and various stops for cultural shopping and education along the way – all while fitting our budget and accommodating last minute changes to our travel schedule. He, his family and the students of the school and orphanage provided welcoming and friendly hospitality to us while we overnighted at the School and Orphanage site. If you’re looking to support a Safari company who utilizes the funds to support the local Arusha area community through education & employment, Peace Matunda is a highly worthy organization. They reinvest some safari profits back into the school and orphanage project & employ well-experienced safari guides from the Meru community. Our guide (Gaspar Gadiel) was especially knowledgeable about local culture and a consummate naturalist, providing information and answering wide-ranging questions about all the wildlife so many come to see. Yes - we saw the big five and many more! Our guide impressed us further by having additional expertise in birds, insects, and plants of each park. Our experienced safari chef (Habibo) prepared well-rounded meals of meats, vegetables, grains and fruits with traditional Meru dishes available on request. Accommodations at both the school site as well as on safari were clean and comfortable (cushioned cots are provided in large tents so there was no sleeping on the ground). I highly recommend working with Peace Matunda to design a safari that works for you.

Unforgettable experience
I myself used the tour to Mikumi National Park (2 days), and had an amazing experience to see wildlife that I wanted to see for a long time. I received a response very immediately after I requested. The entire process was pretty smooth. The guide also had great knowledge about animals. Most importantly, I learned about the wildlife a lot, which increased my interests in them.

The Best of the Best- (Value-Service-Experience)!
Susan- Pattison- Wait from Pembury Tours arranged our private safari. We are experienced travels who do a lot of homework before our trips. We contacted Pembury Tours and Susan responded in less than 24 hours. We knew where we wanted to go but needed advice about where to stay. All communication with Susan was efficient and helpful. Our safari included South Africa ( Sabi-Sabi), Botswana (delta) and Livingston (Victoria Falls). The safari exceeded our expectations which are always very high. At each and every place we stayed the service, food, lodging and game drives were outstanding. We have friends who have already booked with Susan for an almost identical safari this July.

Wonderful 3 day tour
Richard took us on a wonderful 3 day tour around NgoroNgoro, Manyara and Tangarire . He has been in the business for many years and is very knowledgeable about his home area. He struck a perfect balance between helpful, knowledgeable and discreet.
When we organized our safari, I was somewhat reluctant to pay the full amount of the safari up through a wire transfer, but he was very accomodating and in the end we did not regret one second booking with Mali Kale for their great professionalism and great prices.
Thanks again Richard !

Amazing Amboseli
Amboseli National Park is the perfect place if you like elephants, and how better with the amazing view of Mont Kilimanjaro. And Axis Africa Safari were in charge of making this experience amazing. They are worried about looking for the perfect accommodation depending on your money, and in my case, the lodge were really luxury. But the best of the safari were the guides, that were really attentive about our wellness, about what did we want to see, and they always were at time for seeing the wonder animals in the park.
Great service!

Excellent safari, we will never forget!
We had a smooth drive with a good maintained car. No problems at all. Elisante, our driver, showed us many national parks in a 6 days safari: Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro, Serengeti, Tarangire. He was always in time, we never had to wait.
We could tell him any wish about the tour, he tried to fullfil it, if possible.
He knows nearly everything about nature, animals and tribes, we learned a lot.

2 night, 3 day Masai Mara safari
The pre departure communication was excellent. We were originally drawn by the cheaper price compared to other companies, but the pre departure service was really what sealed the deal for us.
Our driver and guide (Joseph) was amazing. Such a nice guy and so passionate about what he does.
Couldn't be happier with the whole service provided
