Amazing 4-day Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara Adventure
We recently went on the most exhilarating 4 day safari organised by Beacon Safari. It was a dream come true! The booking process and email correspondence with Robert was super smooth and friendly and our guide, Daniel, was great and ensured that every moment was filled with excitement and wonder. From the breathtaking landscapes of Lake Nakuru to the majestic wildlife of the Masai Mara, every day was an adventure.
Daniel's knowledge and passion for wildlife was evident as we spotted the Big 5 and so much more! His expertise truly enhanced our experience and made each game drive unforgettable. But we still have to come back for the ostrich :)
The accommodation at Sopa Lodges was first class and the staff were extremely friendly, providing comfort and luxury in the middle of the wilderness. Overall, this safari exceeded all expectations and left us with fond memories and a desire to return. If you're looking for an unforgettable safari experience, look no further than this incredible trip with Beacon Safari and Daniel as your guide!

Very good service, friendly and well informed guide
We went on a 8-day safari with Sakey Safaris and everything worked out perfectly. From the airport transfers to our Safari Guide, we were very happy with our drivers and fell in love with Tanzania. Although we had high expectations for our trip (because we dreamed about it for more then 10 years), Sakey Safaris met all our expectations and therefore we are more then happy to recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable tour operator.

Wonderful experience - highlights every day!
We went on a 8-day Safari visiting Tarangire, Manyara, Ngorongoro, central and south Serengeti. From the first moment we felt safe and most warmly welcomed by our tour guide Hassan. He speaks excellent German and English and took care for everything. We don’t know how he did it but we’re always there in the right moment- when one day a herd of elephants with babies and the other day no less than 11 lions with their little ones crossed our way directly in front of us. A huge lion sat on a tree so close, he even showed us a crocodile, a cheetah and a leopard. We learned a lot about animals, nature, culture and family life. Always in an open minded, competent and funny way. Thanks Hassan for the very good time!

Amazing experience!
We loved it. Kenya is a paradise. We went to Masai Mara and saw so many different wild animals, the hotel was so good too. Martin is very kind and Nicholas is the best driver and guide ever. We will definitely do this again.

Amazing Memories, not just a pun....
From the start I was impressed with the excellent customer service provided by Amazing Memories. We received a thorough briefing before we began, the staff kept in touch periodically during the trip and if any issues arose, they were handled quickly and professionally. The choice of lodgings was outstanding and the food even more so (and plenty of it!). The staff at each of the lodgings were excellent and you wanted for nothing. The drivers were attentive to our needs and very knowledgeable about the country and the people who live there. They also knew where to find all of the best viewings and would wait patiently while we took 300 photos of the same thing! Should I ever get to return to this beautiful country, Amazing Memories will always be my guides of choice.

Passionate and Very well organised
What I really enjoyed and appreciated about the trip was the lack of compromise on Quality of the villa we were staying in,the timings of pick up and making us feel comfortable.Royal star was very professional and kept to their promise of giving us the best even on a very limited budget.I practically did nothing,just packed my bags,got my SGR tickets details which had already been pre-booked through royal star expeditions and boarded my train to Mombasa.So hustle free.Also,the relationship with the villa proprietors who partnered with Royal Star expedition was really good ,gave me a lot of trust for the company and am doing another 1 week Mombasa trip with Royal star together with my two girls since I am assured of my safety.

Four wonderful days! Perfect organization, fantastic nature and all expectations were exceeded!
From the Airport Pickup to the transfer to Zanzibar everything was perfectly organized. We were four middle-aged women who fulfilled a lifelong dream and will never forget the four wonderful days with our driver Six and the German-speaking guide David! Six is a very very good driver and mastered all the huge potholes, river crossings and cross-county detours excellently!
David explained flora and fauna, wildlife, people and customs in the Serengeti and Tanzanis in perfect German!
We were in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro National Park for four days and we would have driven to the end of the world with the two of them! The accomodations Tukaone Camp and Octagon Lodge are great, and the fact that you can hear the wildlife of Africa from your tent is simply incredibly beautiful!
We can fully recommend Bestday Safaris!

Accommodating and excellent experience seeing calving season!
We had an amazing and unforgettable experience on our safari with Baccari as our guide! The experience is one we will remember forever! Seeing these animals in their natural habitat like this is so eye opening. We went during calving season and did a 5 day safari in February. We went to Tarangeri, Serengeti, Ndutu, and Ngorongoro crater. Seeing the great migration near Ndutu during calving season with all the wildebeest calves was a highlight! Because Baccari was a great guide we were able to see so many amazing animals like birds and lions and dik diks and rhinos. Baccari listened to what we wanted to see, and made sure to stop by and see the animals that interested us the most! The lodging was perfect and extremely nice at each location, with exceptional food. It was initially booked as a solo trip; but the company was accommodating and was able to allow me to add a friend to the itinerary with only 1 months notice. They were also accommodating about picking us up at the airport, as our arriving flights had to be different.
Only thing preventing it from being 5 stars is that there was some mistake regarding admission to the national parks and conservation areas, resulting in us waiting for extended periods of time at the park entrances. Also; they were a bit slow to respond to emails and answer questions when planning the safari, but I have heard that is typical for Tanzania!

Great Half Day Game Drive in Nairobi National Park
Just returned from 3 weeks in Kenya and Uganda. We did the game drive in Nairobi National Park on our free day before our organized tour started. We arranged the afternoon game drive on the same day in the morning. Of all the game drives we did during the three weeks in Africa this was the best. The park entrance was only about 15 minutes from our hotel. Many animal and bird sightings. We didn't drive far to find the next interesting spot to stop. Our guide / driver Chris was fantastic - knowledgeable and made us feel extremely comfortable while he provided a wonderful experience and lasting memories.

Elly was amazing, he made our trip.
I would strongly recommend Ngoni Tours. We had a wonderful experience on our five-day tour of Murchison Falls Park. Our tour guide, Elly was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable, friendly and made our trip very enjoyable. We’re not the easiest people to please but he went out of his way to make sure we were happy and the trip was a huge success.
We had great dealings with Sedrick, who runs Ngoni. He was very flexible in designing our tour and responded immediately when we reached out to him regarding any questions or concerns.
We would like to again thank our wonderful tour guide ELLY, who helped make this an amazing safari experience. This was our first Safari and we would not hesitate to hire Ngoni Safari for our next African adventure.
