Safari with a difference with Tazama
A safari in Kenya was one of the top priority bucket list. As we tried to figure out the best way to do this, we stumbled on Tazama and were immediately impressed with the reviews. So we decided to complete the safari with Tazama a decision which we will never regret.
Being an avid wildlife & landscape photographer, I contacted Anthony the owner with two key requirements for this five day safari. One was safely managing the logistics of my child of determination and second was photography safari primarily covering the spectacular Birds of Kenya and landscapes.
Anthony within hours responded with a very good & competitive itinerary covering Amboseli, Lake Naivasha and Masai Mara and included properties which was wheel chair friendly.
At the airport we were welcomed by Anthony personally along with Andrew who would be our guide par excellence and their well appointed 4x4 Land cruiser. We stayed at Kibo Safari Camp for two nights. This is an awesome tented camp which I will highly recommend to anyone. The tents are very aesthetically done blending the traditional tents with a element of modern amenities. The Staff at the restaurant are a joyful bunch of staff who are so passionate about their job. Charles & Duncan along with their fabulous team will make anyone at home. Simply loved it. All facilities are wheel chair friendly. Amboseli park was truly great with all the majestic Elephants and hundred of birds which we managed to cover. Andrew turned out to be an birding expert, fluent with the names, habitat and characteristics of all birds at the tip of tongue. The best thing was the knowledge of where to position the vehicle so as to get the best frames under optimum light conditions necessary to shoot all the best actions.
Next we proceeded to Lake Naivasha to shoot the fish eagles in action along with a host of other birds in action along the rim of the beautiful lake. The local boat operator also a good birding expert called the eagles with unique whistling and a fish at hand. So action is very much assured. Just keep the cameras ready for some hair raising action of Eagle snatching the fish from the lake.
Third destination was Masai Mara and we were accommodated at the Sarova Game Camp. This place was truly beautiful and wheel chair friendly. Chef Douglas made our dinner buffets deliciously memorable with some awesome Indian cuisines. Mart-in & Grace ensured all went well and smooth. Here too the deluxe tented camps are a true delight as the camp are located within the Masai Reserve.
Chef Andrew took us on a visit to the herbal garden from where all the organic greens come to the buffet.
Here too Andrew did a fantastic job of ensuring we covered the place well in the three days we spent. On day two we did a 12 hour game drive from 6:30 am to 6:30 pm straight. Andrew ensured we had all breakfast, lunch & tea packed for the marathon game drive and served at the bush. The drive involved some very extreme off-road conditions including slush which Andrew managed to maneuver safely. As birding and prey kills were my requirements, Andrew planned the timings well and patient enough so that I could easily cover dozens of beautiful bird species and two prey kills under very optimum lighting conditions.
Hot air balloon over the Mara with my child of determination was icing on the cake. I was skeptical of how they could manage this, but the balloon Pilot with his team made it easy so that our child could see the Mara from a different view.
COVID protocols were strictly complied with at all times in all resorts with a RT-PCR test organized at tent it self at Sarova Mara for those flying outbound to countries requiring on arrival PCR reports.
I will cut my long review short by summarizing that Tazama Africa Holidays honestly is the right team if you want to have a private photography safari covering specific birds and animals or just an enriching safari from a different viewpoint and most importantly at a very competitive & affordable price.

A great experience (4 Days / 3 Nights Mid-Range Safari)
We had a great experience with Lion King Adventures and our guide David (Kisport). There wasn’t the animal we did not get to see!

Photo Safari at Kenya NPs (Nakuru, Masai Mara, Naivasha & Amboseli)
The trip for photo safari in Kenya with Africa vision safaris was a shocking experience. Everything was perfectly organized from our driver Nicholas. From the first day we visited the park on Lake Nakuru we managed with the perseverance and great experience of Nickolas to observe and photograph with proper lighting and angles almost all the animals we had set a goal to see. From Hippopotamuses, Rhinos, Terns, Impalas, Zebras, Buffaloes, Gazelles, Eagles, Condors, Pelicans, Flamingos, Marabou, Monkeys, Baboons, Giraffes, Lions and Leopards. Although we thought we had seen it all we made a big mistake. The whole game was in Masai Mara National Park. Our driver seemed to know better than his home. In the five days we stayed there we saw 3-4 successful attacks by lions, cheetahs, hyenas and leopards. Nickolas led us through all the secret paths of the masai, we saw herds of lions with their children, leopards eating on the trees, leopards, elephants, giraffes, herds of wildebeest, zebras, buffaloes, impalas and many more.
The safari ended with a visit to Lake Naiovasha where we admired the ospreys in action within walking distance and we completed our visit to Kenya in the beautiful park of Amboseli where we admired many birds and Elephants in the wetlands of Amboseli Ki overlooking the majestic mountain. Throughout the safari the driver tried to make us all the eyebrows in order to achieve a good photographic result. And all this at very good prices without any hidden extra charge. We look forward to repeating our trip to Kenya with Africa Vision Safaris!

Best tour ever
We were so happy to travel with Mufasa Tours and Travels. Our guide was a super guy, told us a lot about Kenya and animals and did his best to show us as much as possible. We saw BIG 5 and even-even more. Everything was well-organized and we did not have any problems with the car, accommodations and communications.
I highly recommend this travel operator! You will not regret!
Thanks a lot Mufasa Tours and Travels!!!

SUPER
We did a 12-day tour of Kenya with this agency and were extremely satisfied. We rented a minibus for 10 people with a Kenyan driver, Mr. Francis. He was always punctual, reliable, tidy and knowledgeable and a very good driver to boot!
Thank you Mr.Stephan, Mr.John and all the staff at the agency for a job well done.
Everything was absolutely SUPER!

It was the best tour ever !!
The safari was amazing. We saw the beautiful landscapes of the Serengeti und the Ngorongoro crater as well as a lot of wild animals (amongst those the big 5).
The trip was well organized and the guides were super nice and professional. Also, the food was among the best we’ve had during our time in Tanzania.
All in all it was a perfect five star experience!

Impressive! First-class experience, budget-friendly and worry-free tour.
Lilian was really keen into assisting clients; all of our queries and worries were answered and catered before we even book the trip. She's a star! They do have a lot of knowledge about the requirements (quarantine, PCR tests, etc.) and can give suggestions for almost about everything. We arrived in Nairobi and was picked up by a very enthusiastic driver, Geoffrey, who has a lot of understanding and grasp of the city. We were then taken to the office and met Lilian and Fiona, who assisted us of our personal needs before we proceed with our tour. The manager, Dave, were very considerate to our requests.
Our Safari driver, Mr. Boneface, kept us safe the whole trip. He has expertise of the roads/locations and has consciousness and awareness of the animals. He caters our needs and made sure that we are comfortable. Met Moses as well from Masai Village who took us a tour in the village. We met Ben from Amboseli who took us to early morning walk in Amboseli.
We were closely monitored by the office in Nairobi for our needs, they always check our comfort. We enjoyed the whole trip because of this wonderful team, Tourist Line Safaris. Amazing experience.
