The best Safaris we had
Company Bushtroops safaris fulfill all our expectations. We had a great time, all comunication was perfect, professional. Our driver /guide Dominic was so helpful, so nice. He made our time we spent at all safaris really outstanding. We visited all places we wanted, we observed all animals from big five, so we highly recommend to use company Bushtroops safari for any tour in Kenya.

Responsiblr and professional. They guides are knowledgeable and very helpful..went extra mile
Wild root safaris is open of the best outdoor operators I have used . I have climbed and trek in many parts of the world and they have provided world class services, especially in such a big mountain as Kilimanjaro. Wild root safaris have ensured that there is adequate manpower for our very large team (29 pax) with excellent cooks, porter and other base camp service
On summit day, their guides went to extra mile to ensure that most of us summitted without incident.

Amazing!
We’ve just finished a 4 day, 3 night safari with Mandela. I had read lots of great reviews before I went on safari and still it exceeded expectations!
Hilary was great at organising everything for us including collection from airport and a night in Arusha before the safari. Mandela and Sidé were amazing! Food was great. I don’t know how it’s possible but Mandela could see animals better while driving than we could with binoculars! We saw the big 5 and lots of other amazing animals. There’s lots and lots of driving but Mandela kept us entertained with stories and facts about the animals. Definitely recommend a trip to Massai village if possible (don’t let them rip you off! They tried to sell us Jewlery for 10 times the price as in local markets)
These Suricata guys are local (we drove past the village where Mandela grew up) young, fun and professional with lots of experience and I would definitely support them over the bigger tours. The are always smiling and more than happy to help.
The campsites are basic so make sure to bring a warm sleeping bag (and layers if going to ngorongoro) plenty of your own toilet roll and a torch. Don’t expect warm water or access to chargers. Camping was really fun and made it an even better experience! if you found the service as good as we did, don’t forget to tip the guide and cook! At first we thought it sounded expensive but taking park fees (really expensive), food, fuel and overnight stays into account it was actually great value and cheaper than other tours around.
If you get a chance go to the central market in Arusha for a look around - it’s a crazy but wonderful place! We also got a local taxi to the coffee lodge in Arusha for breakfast after safari which was excellent!
Oh and I highly recommend bringing some beers or wine with you if you’re the type of person who enjoys a beer after a long day driving!

Plenty of wildlife to watch in the most comfortable way possible.
We booked our Safari from Tekko Tours & Travel. They provided us with a driver/tour guide for 6 days and booked our preferred accommodation. We spent 2 days at Kibo Safari camp in Amboseli, 1 day at Sarova Lion Hill Lodge in Lake Nakuru and 2 days at Mara Sarova Camp in Masai Mara. Amboseli was great place to see Mt. Kilimanjaro and plenty of wildlife although lions and cheetahs/leopard were difficult to spot. Kibo Safari Camp was wonderful with great hospitality, separate camps giving good privacy, the camp was dark enough to see Milky Way with naked eye and a swimming pool. Lake Nakuru was a disappointment as most of the flamingoes have migrated to other places but still there were plenty of birds to watch and listen to. Masai Mara was the best place to spot the Big Five and all other animals. The rooms in Sarova Lion Hill Lodge had thin walls so we could hear noise from outside and from adjacent room and unfortunately, our neighbours were noisy. But there were plenty of birds here for bird watchers. Mara Sarova Camp was very beautiful and it had quite some greenery inside to walk around. Overall, it was excellent vacation, great food, wildlife and awesome hospitality.

Awesome
One of my best trip ever. The walk in the jungle was amazing (and not too hard). Hanging out with the gorillas was an incredible experience. Our guide was very nice and explained us many things about the park we drove through.
Uganda is an amazingly beautiful country with stunning places to see. I really hope I will have the opportunity to come back.

Amazing experience from start to finish!
Prior to booking we were a little sceptical because we were so far away, and you are never quite sure who you're sending your money to. But from our first communication with Features Africa, our concerns were eased. No matter how many questions asked and emails sent, Karanja responded and answered every one of our concerns, and our comfort level rose. We were to arrive in Nairobi late at night and be picked up early the next morning. We happened to have a window overlooking the front of the hotel. As our alarm went off, I took a look out of the window to take in the city views, and the first thing i saw was our safari vehicle pulling up to the hotel bright and early. We immediately got excited. We came downstairs to meet Karanja and our driver. We were introduced to Albert. We instantly knew that this would be a great adventure because even though it was 5am, Albert had a bubbly personality and was ready to take us on a trip of a lifetime. We departed on our journey to Masai Mara. It was a 5 hour drive, but it seemed half that because along the route, Albert gave us a lot of information about the areas we were passing through. This was our first time in Africa, so seeing all there was to see driving through Kenya was amazing in itself, and having great conversation with Albert was a plus. Once we arrived at the park we went on a game drive and Albert was on the money with his knowledge of the terrain and the animals. We definitely learned a lot from him. He made sure we saw everything we could possibly see in the time allotted. The only animals were weren't able to see that we really wished we had were a leopard and a rhino. Everything else we got to see and were close enough to get great pictures. The accommodations at the tent camp were luxurious and absolutely beautiful. Definitely not the kind of camping we're used to. Over the course of our stay we did a couple more game drives and then exited the park the next day for the journey home. Even with the drive back to Nairobi being as long as it was, Albert still offered to go out of his way and take us to Lake Naivasha so we could rent a boat and go out and see the hippos up close. That was also an amazing experience. The whole experience from start to finish was top notch and very professional. We definitely recommend Features Africa for your Safari. We actually saw other companies along our journey, and just looking at them we knew they weren't having the same amazing experience we were. And if it's possible, request Albert. He's the best!

Danson was really friendly, kind and helpful - nothing was too much trouble.
The safari was wonderful! We saw so many amazing animals due to the knowledge of our great driver. The vehicles were all comfortable and we had great vantage views due to the experience of Danson knowing exactly where to be.
I would recommend Savannah Sound Safaris to anyway visiting Kenya as I know they would be treated with care and receive excellent service and attention to detail.

It's a dream come true , i really loved it..
My wife and i had a marvelous experience on a one-week safari that took us to Lake Natron, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara and managed to see all the big five animals... From our arrival at Kilimanjaro airport to our departure, Mupana Tours and Safaris Tanzania made sure that our trip would be amazing , and they absolutely did it! A pleasant and highly competent guide, nice vehicle in perfect condition, the right hotel choice everything was designed perfectly. And the progression in our trip was well thought out, as every day there was something new and very different. So we can only recommend Mupana and his team for anyone who wants to get a full experience of Northern Tanzania and its wonderful parks. Well done and many thanks
