Best holiday ever!
I did the 8 day safari with Tazama, guided by Henry for two days and Anthony for the remainder. It was the best trip ever! Kenya is a beautiful country.
The trip was really well curated. After pick up, we set off for Samburu, central Kenya, and we worked our way towards the Masai Mara, stopping at Ol Pejeta and Lake Nakuru on the way. Each destination was unique and had something new to offer. I cannot convey how rich and varied the wildlife of Kenya is and the itinerary gave me an excellent opportunity to sample this with great success!
Ensuring you have an excellent guide is essential and my advice would be to trust them - Anthony and Henry know their stuff and were able to tap into their network of other guides to help you spot animals. If they suggest a 6am departure time, go for it and you’ll be the envy of the camp! We saw 10 cheetahs in the Masai Mara on one day when other groups saw none and similarly with a majestic leopard at dawn in Samburu. Their spotting skills and animal knowledge were fantastic and all my questions were answered. It’s worth noting that Anthony considers proximity to animals when suggesting accommodation.
The big 5 are a major draw and I was lucky to tick them all off but there’s so much more to safari! I also saw majestic ostriches, Masai and Somali, Grevis zebras and common zebras, large towers of giraffes, honking hippos, packs of lions feasting and the list goes on. Kenya’s birds were a big and very pleasant surprise. Vultures, secretary birds, crested cranes, eagles, hawks etc were fantastic to see in their natural habitats.
The accommodation and food were fab - absolutely no complaints. I was super comfortable and extremely well fed with delicious food throughout. My favourite though was BaseCamp Masai Mara which is right by the Talek river. I was lucky to be upgraded to the tent Obama stayed in as a senator but regardless, I have amazing memories of lying in bed listening to hyenas howl and lions roar in the night. The camp is kept secure by super friendly and helpful Masai people who also escort you around the camp after nightfall. In the evening, the camp was lit with oil lamps which was very very atmospheric. I felt so relaxed and peaceful there.
Tazama Africa are extremely professional and not pushy. Their aim is to help you have the best safari experience you can have. My last tip would be get a Land Cruiser if you can afford it. The terrain in the Masai Mara can be a little muddy and you might get stuck...

Amazing safari
I traveled to Kenya with some friends on very short notice and King Tomondo Safaris was able to set us up with a 3-day program that suited us with only 2 days notice. Their communication was fantastic, they gave so much information ahead of time (even with recommendations outside of the safari for staying in Kenya) and they were always quick to respond and help. Our guide Daniel was amazing, he was so knowledgeable and fun to drive around with for 3 days. We absolutely loved the game drives, the tent camps, the land cruiser....everything was perfect, organised, convenient, exciting - we will remember this trip for the rest of our lives.

Amazing solo and first time safari
Soul of Tanzania is a very professional and responsive team to plan an amazing safari there.
My planner helped me to organize the best tour within less than 5 days before it started.
Everything was smooth and well organized, driver was one of the best (+20 years experience and great eyes).
I've been able to see all animals in a couple of days
Price is a bit high but you know what you pay for: quality

Wonderful, just wonderful!
From the first to the last day, it was an amazing and wonderful safari experience. All the stuff was friendly and helpful. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the animals. The very best part was getting out each day and seeing the animals.

Amazing agency, tour and turist guide!
We planned the tour spontaneously and got a very fast response, with multiple personalized tour options. During the whole tour we always felt safe and well informed about the tour. The tour guide Isaiah was amazing, he taught us a lot of new things, was open to any question and never got tired of sharing his knowledge with us and above all very friendly and professional. Definitely a tour and agency to recommend!

Amazing holiday for us
December expiration with touraco expeditions was amazing Emanuel is a perfect driver. We felt safe with him, our visit in Tanzanian Safari with him was one big experience, if you want visit East Africa then touraco explanations are our number one choice. We want to thank Emanuel for all. We visited caffe makers, it was great. We also been in Arusha park, Serengeti, Tarangire, we saw there a lot of wild animals like lions, gazelles, elephants, buffalos, monkeys and huge leopard on tree. At lake Natron we saw hundreds flamencos and marabou. Don’t hesitate if you want to go to Tanzania.

Better than we hoped for - people, our veg-food, wildlife were all Awesome!!!!!!
I just returned from the most amazing 8days trip of my life visiting Kenya. And i have to thank Apodiformes Adventures. Sella’s should be your go to person if anyone is visiting Kenya. He was curious, asked questions about what I wanted to see, what I wanted to experience. Nothing was pushed, nothing was sold. He simply asked questions and took notes. He came back to me several different times with different options, and he made it clear that if the vision didn't match the itinerary to let him know. It was because of this that he zeroed in on the experience that I wanted and he will take care of you without being pushy at all from pick up , covid test to stay to safari n all activities will be handled by him. we enjoyed amazing safari with him and he made sure we were well guided and with the right person. please make sure I personally recommend him for any coordination for safari or any experience that you are looking for. Apodiformes delivered on the experience of a lifetime.
