A remarkable trip to Climb Mt Kenya
I and my friends decided to go for mountain climbing and chose Africa’s second tallest mountain, Mt. Kenya located in Kenya.
I got into contact with many safari companies but Mount Kenya Climbing Expeditions communicated promptly and provided more detailed information than most others.
Their pricing wasn’t the very best, but they had a deep grasp of our personal needs and addressed them quickly. Thus, I booked with them. It was our first trip to Kenya, and it ended up being awesome.
We were very happy with the Mount Kenya Climbing company services. It was a special experience to climb Mt. Kenya to Lenana Peak, which we enjoyed a lot. It was awesome seeing the sun rise over the African skies.
We took 5 days’ climb via Sirimon and down Chogoria which proved to be the most scenic. The Gorges Valley was remarkably beautiful and so were the several tarns like Lake Ellis.
The guides and porters did an exemplary job and were very patient and helpful! Indeed, Mount Kenya Climbing Expeditions did a fantastic job in arranging our trip, executing it and even follow ups after service and we thank all for making the experience breathtaking and unforgettable.

A well-organised experience that was as described and exceeded expectations. Excellent communication
We had prompt and clear communications with Classic Journeys. They were excellent in this respect.
The eight-day safari was excellent and met all our expectations. The vehicle and guide were great.
We saw more animals than expected and overall had an amazing experience.

Fantastic safari
Last month we went on safari with Safarihub. It was fantastic trip. We will always recommend Safarihub. Guides were all knowledgeable. Places and hotels we stayed in were good too.

It was very smooth and organized.
We loved working with Discover Africa for our trip. Matthys was excellent to work with and gave us great advice on how to maximize our time in Africa. We went to South Africa, Botswana, and Zimbabwe. Everything was so well organized and we did not have to worry about a thing while we were gone. It was truly an unforgettable experience and we've had so much fun telling our friends and family about our African adventure. I highly recommend Discover Africa and can't wait to go to Africa again!

The best trip of a lifetime! Above and Beyond beat it hands down
First I want to thank out driver whom I can describe as a walking encyclopedia. His attention to the smallest detail was amazing. He pointed at figures that would later turn out to be an animal. He spoiled us all and wondered what could beat the day’s achievements. He always had something wonderful in his sleeves.

Review about Masai Mara National Reserve by Helen
We saw an abundance of wildlife living quite closely together and acting naturally despite our presence.

Breathtaking views and wildlife sightings - one of the best experiences of my life!
I booked a 3 day, 2 night safari in the Maasai Mara for myself, my husband and two friends to travel in late December. All staff members were very helpful and informative, from Alex who answered all my questions via email, to Joseph who transported us from Nairobi to Naroc and told us lots of interesting facts along the way. We were collected in Naroc by Evans in a 4x4 Land Cruiser (definitely choose that option when booking - you won't regret it!) and enjoyed the beautiful and bumpy ride to the Maasai Mara. We went on an afternoon/evening game drive, then were taken back to our accommodation, Sopa Lodge, for a delicious buffet-style evening meal. As we walked back to our bungalows for the night, our security guard told us to stop and listen - in the forest surrounding our lodge was a family of elephants eating trees and bushes! We couldn't see them as it was so dark, but listening to them eating, breathing and communicating was magical. We were up early the next morning for a full day in the park, and were lucky enough to see the Big 5, as well as lots of other animals such as cheetahs, hippos, ostriches, zebras, giraffes, jackals etc. Evans was a fantastic guide, and made sure we were successful in finding even the most elusive of animals such as a leopard and a black rhino. We had fantastic weather throughout our trip, and loved having a chance to have a picnic on the plains of the Maasai Mara! Thank you to everyone involved in making our holiday one of the best experiences of our lives!

A Great Adventure!
Tanzania is absolutely beautiful. We saw many, many animals while on safari. We booked our trip through African Paradise Safaris. Everything was coordinated perfectly through them. Our guide, Frank was amazing. He taught us so much about the animals, the people of Tanzania, and the country itself. We highly recommend APS. Be sure to request Frank as your guide.

First safari was an amazing experience
Our guide Captain was amazing (we could definitely see why he got that nickname). He was so knowledgeable about the animals and the park itself and always seemed to be first on the scene when there was a lion or leopard in sight. We felt very safe knowing he was in charge.
We did have torrential rain on our first day which made a very cold afternoon but on the plus side it brought out all the termites so there were lots of wildlife out feeding.
The camping facilities were great, fully waterproof/good quality tents and the food was delicious.
The tour was run well and professional although the additional boat cruise on the last day was not really necessary for us as we didn't really get to see anything (that of course depends on the day as you never know what you see!).

A perfect holiday!
This was one of the most perfect holidays we had so far with our family. We've seen so many wildlife, the big five, beautiful birds and the scenery was just lovely. Our guide was very professional but built a quick and great relationship with the whole family. He went out of the way to make us feel comfortable and we always felt save. Highlights - definitely the hot air balloon ride with a fantastic champagne breakfast over the Masai Mara and then Kilimanjaro ! We were very impressed with all the lodges but the favourite was Osero Lodge - tents were beautiful, staff GREAT! Next time we would stay in tents every where! Kenya will definitely see ua again AND we shall choose "Kenya Walking Safaris" again!
