A fantastic trip
We went on a 13 day private safari with Esteleon, and it was absolutely fantastic. Our driver, Tony, was extremely knowledgeable and provided a great experience for us.
We saw all of the big 5 as well as Cheetahs, hunting Mongooses, White and Black Rhinos, all three subtypes of Giraffes, a wild newborn hippo, and even a mother Spotted Hyena and her cubs in their burrow.
I personally preferred the Tented Camps over the Brick and mortar hotels because they were cooler at night and you could hear the sounds of the animals and rivers as well! If you are going to visit the David Sheldrick Wildlife trust, I would recommend adopting an elephant so you can go to their adopter hour, which is much more intimate with the baby elephants than the 11am visit.
Favorite Places: Ol Pejeta, Maasai Mara, and David Sheldrick's Adopter visiting hour. Ol' Pejeta's tented camp was my favorite lodging and had the best Rhino viewing. Maasai Mara was incredible for seeing predator animals such as Lions, Cheetahs, and Hyena.

Natural World Kenya Safaris provided us with an excellent 10 day safari.
Before safari even began, Duncan provided much help in answering questions and making sure we knew the status of our booking. He always quickly responded to any questions that we asked him.
Daniel, our safari guide was awesome! He was very knowledgable and shared a plethora of information about Kenya, the animals and even general Eastern African politics. One of the things I liked most about Daniel is that he has a strong baritone voice that was easy to hear and understand over the road noise.
As for the itinerary of the 10-day safari, it was excellent. The only complaints I have about it was 1) the long day getting from Masai Mara to the Serengeti. Not a whole lot can be done about that other than possibly staying in another camp closer to the exiting gate the 2nd night in Masai Mara. 2) Amboseli this time of year was rather slow. I think we spent 1 too many days there.
The Tanzania part of the Safari, arrange by Natural World Safaris but not run by them, was fantastic. The only complaint there was the LandCruiser used in Tanzania was older and had a lot of rattles. Daniel's LandCruiser was very new and compfortable.
The Angata camps we stayed at in Tanzania were fantastic. They all have professionally trained chefs and the food was delicous. It is amazing what they were able to make considering where they were making it.
I would highly recommend Naturlal World Kenya Safaris to anyone!

Amazing trip
The whole trip exceeded our expectations. Everything worked very well. Our guide spoke very good english, he was capable of answering all our questions, he was very responsible and punctual but most importantly very friendly and easy going so it felt more like travelling with a friend rather than with a guide. The programme was outstanding as well.
Would recommend Bazanya Safaris

Great and professional
I only had 24 hrs to explore and this company made the most of my limited time. Great people and food and very nice lodging. I was a single traveler adding this on to a work trip and the employees and other guests were a good, fun group to be with.

amazing company
this is really to review the whole experience that I had with Bazanya Safaris. Given some of the earlier reviews, I just went with the hunch that they would be good. I did not expect outstanding which is what I got. From their response times (24/7) to all my questions and the detail of their responses to the entire 5 days that I was there, there is nothing more than I could have wanted. Roland in the office and Chris as my guide - what a combination of excellent service.

Unique experience with the 5 day safari
I booked my safari in advance and had a lot of questions for Bartho (managing director) very easily via email and / or Whatsapp.
Since I am traveling alone, everything should be well prepared. And it was! Picking up in Kilimanjaro late in the evening was not a problem either. As promised, Bartho personally waited for me at the airport exit and took me to my hotel.
In consultation with me there was a change of plan and I started the next day.
We went to Manyara. Moody, the guide, showed us the most beautiful parts of the park. We saw a very large group of elephants, giraffes, monkeys, buffalos far away from other vehicles.
The next day I went to the Serengeti for two days. Our guide Elly and Koch Michael accompanied us. The trip to the Serengeti was breathtaking. Past thousands of wildebeests and zebras (great migration). In the most adverse weather and road conditions, Elly not only showed his driving skills. He had an incredible amount of knowledge about the national park and its visitors. No question was too much. We learned a lot about animal behavior. since he is a very experienced guide, he obviously knew places that nobody else knows. He could smell big cats.
I enjoyed every second with both. He was a very careful, thoughtful, calm radiating guide. While a large number of other vehicles got stuck in the mud, he maneuvered us through all the giant mud areas with the necessary patience.
Camping is in the middle of the Serengeti on campsites with showers and toilets. Definitely think of toilet paper! (Elly helped us out with enough paper) There are lockers and charging options for all technical devices. At night the animals came to the tents.
Finally, we went to the Ngorongoro crater. What a facility and view, not to mention the sunset.
In the evening there are countless buffalos between the tents and grazing.
There is a power strip in the car so that the battery can never run out ;-)
There is water as much as you want and the food is always prepared. Lunch is served in the middle of the Serengeti from the bonnet with a view of zebra herds. Special requests are also taken into account! Veggie and gluten free were absolutely no problem!
Overall, I was able to see the BIG Five and so much more. This experience will always remain in my memory.
Thanks to Bartho, Elly, Michael
