We were traveling in July 2017 at Kilimanjaro Tarangire and Ngorongoro, was great
Everything we had booked about Furahia has been wonderful. The transfer to the jeep was great. The drivers on the safari communicated very well, explained many things and gave experiences and knowledge of the animals and continued very well. It took us all 9 people very much fun with the trekking company Furahia to travel anytime again kind regards from the Swiss Marc

Safari + Beach Kenya Safari.
First things first. To say I'm impressed with the service you provided is an understatement. My wife and boys have said they want to come back here again. They have never said that before and they have been to many places. Patrick is a great ambassador for bison safari as he's the guy the client meets. He is truly excellent in how he represents your company. I will not only recommend you going forward, but will use you again for our next trip. So as big thank you and please share with Patrick. Many thanks

Amazing experience for wildlife
We recently enjoyed an amazing 5 day safari with Natural World and will recommend this to every one out there, as this was a great experience.
The team was lead by Robert, was very welcoming and accommodating with all of our queries before booking.
He answered all our emails promptly and provided information to support us through out the trip.
We booked a tented camp .The tents were kept very clean and everything was good because of the people around that made it comfortable for us.Simple yet great food.
Our driver / guide Fransis was great, he is competent and helpful.
He is knowledgeable on animals and their specific locations-habitat, inside the Maasai Mara reserve, so we were very happy to have seen all the Big Five.
This was one of our dream holidays and Natural world made sure we loved every minute.
Robert from Karibu can make your trip interesting in a country as Kenya.
I highly recommend "Karibu Safaris simply because their package price is quite reasonable.
Overall it was a great experience, and good value for money.I would use Karibu safaris if I was back in Kenya and would recommend them to my friends.

Everything we hoped for and more!
This was our first trip to Africa and traveling with 4 children (ages 13-22) and my wife, I wanted to make sure that I found a company what could meet some very important criteria in putting together a two-week trip to Uganda. Writing an email to someone thousands of miles away and trusting them to put together a package was a leap of faith and it so happens that my leap was well worth it!
I wanted to make sure that first and foremost my family would be safe. I also did NOT want a package that was also sold to many other people and just be crammed in with several others. I wanted a private experience with my family but realized I couldn't go it alone. I also wanted to understand the culture, animals, have some flexibility if we wanted to stop somewhere and see something and not always feel like I was on a schedule.
I wrote several companies I found on the web but immediately felt drawn to Kevin at Experience Uganda! He was very responsive to my requests and endless revisions to schedules and accommodations. He would not just answer my questions in a timely manner but his responses also indicated that he understood Uganda well but also understood the western world standard of living, customs and expectations (having grown up in New Zealand) and did very well at explaining what the expedition would entail and guided me through the whole process of putting together this incredible adventure.
Kevin even called me to help answer my questions and calm my concerns about a trip of this sort. When he realized that my 13 year old would not be able to trek Chimps in a certain area he had planned, he quickly found another location which would allow my 13 year old to go. He was very accommodating and very pleasant and patient to work with.
Kevin's place, Karibu, is very welcoming and clean and well run with a great staff. His wife Leslie is very charming and I loved speaking a bit of French with her and experiencing a bit of French influence in the very delicious and well-prepared meals. They were very attentive to our needs. Kevin arranged an amazing driver and guide for our family who was with us the whole time in a very comfortable Land Cruiser. Patrick, our driver, understood Uganda well - history, animal behavior, geography, all the bird species, politics, and seemed to be well connected with people everywhere we went. It was clear as we would see other guides and drivers that we had someone above and beyond the ordinary! It was a great learning experience for the entire family. Patrick took the time to connect with our family including the children and when he found out that one son really wanted to see a Leopard, Patrick went the extra mile and with some patience found us a leopard in the evening and watched him for about 90 minutes as he scoped out his prey.
I can't imagine this trip working out any better and I have no regrets about my decision to work with Kevin and Experience Uganda and would do it again in a heartbeat! It was a trip of a lifetime and met all of the expectations we had for it.

Agent Ute Sonnenberg very responsive/pleasant to deal with/knowledgeable or found out info promptly
Flexible re communication across time zone difference to USA. Prompt responses both prior to trip and while on trip. Totally seamless transfers and tour arrangements- excellent companies chosen. (So different from all the troubles we had with another agency on a different trip to Brazil/Argentina). Safari experience amazing- Highly recommend kirkmans kamp. Agent Ute Sonnenberg tailored trip to meet my exact requests. If she didn't know something, she researched it and got the answer. Would absolutely recommend Ute and Roho Ya Chui.

Don't search other agencies! Choose King Lion Adventures for the best Safari!
Gorgeous, adventurous and exciting! Thanks to the guys of the King Lion for these 10 days of Safari. They let us see all the Big Five, the cheetah and all the Savannah animals. They were attentive to our requests, answered our questions and endured our whims. The food? A wonderful surprise, we ate very well! They were also able to quickly solve 2 drawbacks to off-road vehicles. I mean, I recommend a Safari with King Lion! Thanks to Boss James, Antonio Inoki, the best Chef of Tanzania Yusuph and the best dancer Imma!

Masai Mara during the migration!
This is our third trip with Arch Treks and Safaris. James always goes out of his way to plan your perfect itinerary, and to find something that works in your budget. My travel dates changed a few times because of work, but James was easy to worked with via email and the payments were easily handled by wire. He also worked with one of my friends to plan a future trip up Kilimanjaro.
Our guide Charles worked very hard to fill our days with fun game drives, and to get off the beaten path to see the vast Mara. He patiently waited for elephants to walk across the road and to watch lions napping to give us some magical moments with wildlife without all the tour operators. He also kept us laughing on our long drives and looked out for our every need.
When we needed help to cross to Uganda overland, James arranged for all our ground travel plans — so they can help with all sorts of travel requests.
You can trust Arch Trek to show you an amazing time in beautiful Kenya. We absolutely loved all of the properties they booked, and the trips we've taken with them. Highly recommend.

Masai Mara Safari and Lake Nakuru - Wonderful experience!
We booked 4 days - 3 nights safari with Sunsplash in Masai Mara + Lake Nakuru (budget camp). Our contact was Erick Otieno but Daniel was our driver during whole trip. The experience in Masai Mara is been unforgettable. We were very lucky because we saw all Big Five in one day. Lake Nakuru, instead, has not been very interesting.
If you could go back, I'd do 3 whole days in Masai Mara and 1 whole day in Naivasha+Nakuru.
Do 4 days-3 nights means do one day and half of safari and half day in Nakuru (2 half days are necessary to arrive there). Not enough time for Nakuru and short time for Masai Mara.
For this reason I suggest 4 days - 3 nights for only Masai Mara Safari and 5 days - 4 nights for Masai Mara + Lake Nakuru.
My experience with Sunsplash was good.. I I recommend them.
I put 4 stars because some things are been changed respect our program... although not in relevant way.
