Gorillas of the Mountains & Chimps of the Lowlands.
Our encounter with both the Owner (Harrington) and the Gorrilla's of the highlands was an amazing experience. I have had the opportunity to have visited the African Sub Sahara many times. You travel long distances but it's worth it to sit in the jungle just 10 - 12 feet away from a Silver Back and his extended family. They are such beautiful animals. Not sure if they get as much out of us trekking the mountains to find them, but we sure got all the right boxes ticket ! The Chimps are fun loving and take you on a chase, one minute they are in front of you then behind you, then above you in the trees. They love playing games with you ! Lodge accommodation en-route was excellent from small boutique properties to resort style. It varies considerably subject to where you wish to visit but all were clean, comfortable and meals taken in house on tour were good.

Review about Masai Mara National Reserve by Gowri
Simply the best experience of birding and wholesome wildlife watching in all of Kenya. We got to see the big cats, elephants, all kinds of herbivores and such a rich variety of birds. The camps are inside the Reserve and even the stay in the camps gets you so close to the wildlife. We stayed by a camp at River Talek and saw a leopard while walking to the restaurant for dinner! What an amazing abundance of diverse wildlife!

Review about Amboseli National Park by Gowri
Amboseli is a great place to watch elephants, zebra and deer. Not such a great place for birding and hardly any big cats. But it's still worth a visit if you want to see huge herds of elephants in the backdrop of the lovely Kilimanjaro.

A scenic place for great birding
On a two-day trip to Lake Nakuru during the wet season in June, I didn't really expect much wildlife activity. But it was still worth a try because we were told that the place is quite scenic, a large tucked in a valley, surrounded by hills. That's not quite the stereotypical image of Kenyan landscape.
It rained in the afternoon when we reached our camp and the night was fairly cold. But the next morning was all clear skies and sunny, pleasant weather.
The birding was great and we even saw some flamingoes. Wildlife sightings were very satisfying too, we saw a family of the rare black rhino, giraffes, a couple of lion sightings and jackals. The rock hyrax was an unexpected delight.
The Flamingo Hill Camp is a comfortable place to stay. Maybe because it was the off-season, we saw no other safari vehicle and our time there felt quite exclusive.The lake looks spectacular from the Baboon Hill viewing spot. I would visit the place over and over!

Review about Kenya by Gowri
Kenya's open landscapes are teeming with wildlife. I was so happy to see zebras and gazelle right outside the Nairobi city limits. Great experience!

Off Season Safari Might Be Better
We didn't realize we were going during wet season (my brother and I did very minimal research). This turned out not to be bad at all! The parks only had a handful of other vehicles, and the conditions weren't too bad. We managed to stay dry for the majority of the safari. The tour guide was excellent: knowledgeable, a good eye for spotting animals, and a skilled driver for the rough, wet terrain. Camping in the parks was so much fun as were the stays in the lodges. The chef we had also provided us with great meals throughout the trip. This was an overall dream come true at an affordable price.

An experienced local and super friendly guide: the best way to discover Uganda
We managed to design with Frank Tours a personalized tour with the highlights we wanted to visit. Frank was always correct and on time and he let us discover the nicest places in Uganda. He was flexible enough to change plans and proposed alternatives when needed. He knows the country very well but also understands our Western culture and interests. He succeeded in finding the right balance to combine local content with our main goals in visiting Uganda.

Best of best tour!!!
I am a Korean who did the Serengeti & Ngorongoro tour at Lion King Adventure. I was uneasy until the start of my trip, because I read that a lot of people were unsatisfied with the Serengeti tour. But when you meet guide James at Lion King Adventure, it is the best tour you will never forget !! Most Koreans focused on watching the Big Five, and during the season I went there, I could easily see the big five with lots of animals. The guides allowed us to see real animals in front of our noses. I was able to see the lion and leopard eating in front of me. Both the guide and the chef were friendly and fun, so we had a great time throughout the tour. Even if you make a mistake in English, you do not have to worry! I rarely write a review, but I was so happy to write about Lion King Adventure. If Jonghyuk Lee (Mark) recommends James to Korean, he will surely do well! I hope you have a pleasant trip. Thank you :)
