Good Safari!
It was our first safari in Africa with Sino Africa Safari. We visited Maasai Mara only. The Safari guide picked us up at our hotel in Nairobi and we made the approximately five and half hour drive to the park. We enjoyed the Great Rift Valley stop and to see the view was one of the best experiences. Once we arrived at the conservancy, we did a short game drive and saw many animals. Our hotel was luxury- Fairmont Mara Safari Club. We love the food and the tent. The safari was good!

Brilliant!
We had a fantastic tour organized by Sino Africa Safari. Hotels include Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha and Amboseli, everything went very well and fantastic!
Special mention to our guide - Solomon - who was amazing. I could remember his name clearly. He was very knowledgeable and all of us became good friends. We really appreciate him to find all animals we would like to see – Lions, cubs, Leopards on the tree, cheetah, and elephants. Thank you Sino Africa Safari, Thank you Solomon.

Always a great experience
We have already booked several trips to and through Kenya through Diana, Richard and their team and recommend it to all our visitors. Diana and Richard will find the right thing for everyone, individually and personally adapted to wishes and financial possibilities.
We always feel very well advised and also cared for during the trips. We can recommend Diana, Richard and their team 100%.

Excellent Safari Experience
Nothing but only great feedback for this company and our safari experience in Tanzania. They arranged our accommodations and we liked every luxury hotel that we stayed. The accommodation surrounding in the Serengeti was beautiful. Our guide was a big plus+++ to the safari, his knowledge and expertise really was a game changer in our experience. He knew so much about the environment, ecotourism, culture, agriculture, politics, rocks, animals, plant life, etc. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone!

We enjoyed our trip to Africa, with perfect safari guide
Our safari was great. Our guide was very knowledgeable about everything about the country and wildlife. The guide was enthusiastic and has passion to share African culture and wildlife information and was as excited for us to see things, as we were to see it. The guide respected the wildlife and was always looking for our safety. He fully respect us and communicate with us everyday for the next day plan. The company calls us regularly to make sure we are treated well. We recommend them to every safari guest.

One of the best journeys we have ever taken
One of the best journeys we have ever taken. My friend had some health issues during the journey and Sino Africa Safari Mr Jong rearranged our safari and we did not miss a step. The food was fantastic to all of us and we spent the whole day, every day, in the bush. Our driver knew every single animal we saw on the road, and he knew where to drive our car to find the best position of taking photographs. We were so happy, and we will go back to them

Couldn’t ask for more....Over and above all expectations!
We were booked for a 12 day private Safari of Kenya and Tanzania, we had 4 absolutely amazing days of at the start of our tour, then unfortunately we had to call it quits as the world went mad with Covid 19.
Those 4 days though were absolutely faultless and everything we had ever dreamed of, we saw so much wildlife, with the best guide ever....Willie...Aka Double Whiskey (not what you think)...which made it easy for us to have to make our decision to cut short our safari when we did.
We were met in Nairobi and drove to Lake Nakuru, where we saw our first encounter with Zebras, Baboons, Rihno, Water Buffalo, Pelicans, Flamingos, Giraffe, Warthogs....and then a pride of Lionesses and their cubs... as it was late afternoon/sunset we were the only party left when the Lions decided it was time to go on a hunt....walking down the middle of the road.... we could not believe our luck - we followed them (just us) and watched them frolic for a good 30-40 mins.
The next day we had another game drive on the way out of the park, where we again encountered all that we had seen the previous day....including the pride of lions again - this time with the King of the Jungle there too.
Overnighted at Lake Naivasha the 2nd night, where cheeky monkeys came down and stole food off our table whilst we were eating....too quick for the staff that were on “Monkey duty”.
Our 3rd and 4th day were at the Masai Mara National Reserve. Before entering the National park, we visited a Masai Mara village, danced with the warriors, went inside their home, made fire and observed their way of life. Once inside the national park we had close up encounters with elephants, giraffes, lions, cheetahs, wild dogs, hippos, wilder-beast, ostriches and numerous types of gazelles, vultures and at night in bed we heard the hyenas.
Wille our Guide was absolutely fantastic. We at all times felt safe with him. He went above and beyond our expectations. When we came across wildlife, he would stop the vehicle and we would sit there; as would other tour operators, but after 5 mins or so, they would leave....but we stayed...for as long as it took...and it was once everyone else had gone, that we often saw things that other tours would have missed. I have an amazing video of a lioness growling at something that she was unhappy with approaching. Willie would park us so close to the side of the road to see the wildlife that often you felt like you could just reach out and touch them.
When we were booking our tour, we had reservations about travelling to Kenya and Tanzania in March - but now having been - in our opinion it was a great time to go....it was still hot and there was still other tour operators around, and often we commented how hot and how crowded it must get in the peak times. We certainly did not miss out on seeing anything by visiting in March. We also thought when we were booking our tour, that we would prefer to have other people on safari with us - but again it just being the two of us, meant we could stay, go, when and how long we wanted to.
Twinkle Star Tours were very professional in all their communications. It was a pleasure to deal with both James and Benson. And when we had to make the hard decision to cut short our safari, they did nothing but support us in our decision, and went out of their way to help us with rebooking flights, hotels, and have offered to keep the remaining 8 days of our trip available to us when it once again safe to travel the world.
We would absolutely and completely recommend Twinkle Star Tours, do not hesitate to book a any safari with them - you will be well looked after!
Thank you James, Benson and Willie, we look forward to seeing you all again, and will be recommending you to all our family and friends.
