Excellent service, a looot of hippos :D
My friend and me did 3 days tour to the Queen Elizabeth National Park. I was a bit scared to go as 2 girls alone, because of different stories i read, but i never ever felt endanger.
Our tour guide was Onan. I have to say that Onan, beside his great personality, has excellent driving skills. One time it was so stormy and foggy, we were going up the hill on muddy cliff road, i was so scared, but Onan drove all the way up and down without problem. Eh, if you have experience of traveling in Africa, you will know why i am mentioning driving skills. Trust me, it is very important.
We had spacious 4x4 land cruiser.
We saw all big 5. However, we saw only 2 tree climbing lions, but it can happen that you see many or none... who knows, maybe you will see more :). I am also glad that we saw leopard from a super close distance. Onan was never making pressure on us to hurry up, he let us stay anywhere as long as we wanted. He would spend a whole day driving around safari and he has great knowledge. We saw so many hippos, birds and elephants. And hippos were animals which i wanted to see so badly... hehe, now i can tell i saw 100s of them (when we did a boat ride on Kazinga channel)... Oh, and to not forget! We saw a crocodile literally one meter from us!!
Also, since his family lived nearby, we asked him if we could visit his village/city and if they could prepare for us traditional food. He accepted :)), that made us happyyyy... the best fish i ate in Uganda!! Please, if he is your tour guide, let him bring you there... or maybe a suggestion for Mega Wild Safaris, include visit to his fisherman village to the tour :)... even there you can see some elephants or buffalos (one was maybe 30 to 50 meters from us when we were walking :D)...
Before safari, i communicated with Anne. She is clear, fast and efficient. Great management skills!
About the accommodation, we decided to organize our own... i was familiar with accommodation in the region so it was fine, but if you are not, then better let them organize it for you.
I would definitely take a tour with them again! Maybe next time Gorilla tour, since they are also doing that one :))
Thanks for everything, you are great! :)

Visit Mount Kenya Tours always makes our safari trips memorable
I run student trips from the University of Brighton to Kenya every year and have done for the past 10 years. On each visit we conclude our community collaborations wih a safari and I happily employ Visit Mount Kenya Tours every time. I have gotten to know the proprieter, Rufus, very well over this time. He is reliable, honest,helpful and very friendly. As are the people he employs as safari guides. Each year is different but every time the safari amazes me. Rufus and his staff are very knowledgeable and use their knowledge and expertise to communicate with you to make your safari a special and safe udenttrip that will live long in your memory.
Vist Mount Kenya Tours offer great value for money. Because our trips consist of students with very little money we tend to stay in economy campsites but these are clean and comfortable with all the facilities you could want. As long as I run these student trips to Kenya I will happily continue to employ Rufus and his staff to organise our safaris for us. It gives me great pleasure to offer this recommendation.

Wonderful and Amazing Safari
All what we have done was as in a dream. It was our honeymoon, so our expectations were really high.
The most impressive point was the driver FOSTEN who has a big knowledge and experience about animals. We saw all the big five with lot other types of animals. At all the step of the trip, Fosten was present and gives us all informations we need with great explanations about the reserve and jungle.
Accomodation was also one the positives: security and safety are guaranteed.
The program was fulfilled and more that what we expected.
I recommend strongly this safari and even plan to do it again...

Great tour with very knowledgeable guide
Natural World Kenya Safaris provides a great safari experience. Our fantastic tour guide Robinson Ngigi has an exceptional knowledge of the flora and fauna in the region. He is very friendly and always goes the extra mile for his customers. We could not have asked for a better one and highly recommand his services.

Excellent experience with a great guide
We had a fantastic tour with Kilele. Our guide, Pita, welcomed us at the airport the first day until the last minute of our departure. We went to different parc and the lodges and tented camp were fabulous especially the one in the Serengeti. Pita our guide knows very well the area and he is fluent is French which was good for us.
We definitely recommend Kilele for the safari as this agency is more based on nature rather than mass tourism. You can also chose together the itinerary which is very convenient. Thank you so much for this great experience !! We plan to come back for the migration in 2 years and will definitely use again their services.

Holiday Experience
My wife and I traveled to Kenya together for the first time to visit our family after almost 10 years and our entire experience was five star thanks to Holiday Migrations. We didn't really have any specific itinerary in mind outside of visiting with family but the staff at Holiday Migrations created an itinerary of sights for us to see while we were in Nairobi. With Holiday Migrations, we went to the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, The Nairobi Animal Orphanage, The Giraffe Center and they suggested some greats restaurants for us to try with our family members. Our tour guide took us to the city center where we were able to walk around and do some shopping and experience the city in all its glory. Without our tour guide, we wouldn't have been able to see as many sights as we did, the experience was unforgettable, Holiday Migrations customer service was above and beyond. We will definitely be returning to Kenya again with the help of Holiday Migrations and would highly recommend them to anyone interested in a unique, culturally curated experience.

Fantastic experience, excellent service
David and Elizabeth worked very closely with us, helping tailor our itinerary months in advance, being extremely accommodating of our large group with its diverse interests and crafting the most unforgettable experience within a very reasonable budget. They are very communicative, extremely thoughtful and considerate and highly competent. We visited Masai Mara, Naivasha, Amboseli, Mombasa and Nairobi and they saw to every little detail along the way. I would very highly recommend Elida Tours for all your travel needs! Asante sana David and Elizabeth!! I cannot wait to return for more adventures!

Best trip of our lives!!
Doing a safari had been #1 on my bucket list since I was a child so we decided a safari would be the perfect adventure for our honeymoon. After many, many hours of online research and contacting various different safari operators Amazing Memories came out on top. They had great packages with great prices and so many genuinely wonderful reviews, Communication with Anne was always friendly and quick, even with the 9 hour time difference from western Canada to Kenya,
Absolutely every detail of our safari went perfectly! From airport pickup to airport drop off we were taken care of. We chose a 14 day package which included a 10 day safari in Kenya with a few days of relaxation in Zanzibar at the end. Our guide Joseph was great! He was very friendly and he genuinely cared about our experience and all the animals he helped us find! I am still blown away by how many animals we were able to see! We even got to see the spotted zebra foal at Masai Mara!
Our lodges were all very nice. We especially enjoyed the Samburu Simba Lodge and Sweetwaters Serena Camp. Our hotel, The Sands in Zanzibar was also wonderful! Beautiful location, friendliest staff and very delicious food and drinks. We would 100% recommend anyone to visit Kenya and to use Amazing Memories Safaris for their trip! We hope that we will be able to come back again one day!
