very great
My family had a wonderful experience with Meander Africa Safaris - they absolutely exceeded our expectations and I would recommend them without hesitation. Wycliffe and Ebby are honest, reliable, deeply knowledgeable and friendly.
Ebby suggested different itinerary options; she was patient, super helpful, responding to all our questions within hours, adjusting our trip, providing lots of hotel and other options, and (once we finally decided) arranging hotels and internal flights between Maasai Mara and Amboseli. Wycliffe brought to my attention that we had overpaid by $200, and we were reimbursed upon our arrival. Meander Africa Safaris driver met us on arrival at Nairobi Jomo Kenyatta airport in the late evening, which was great after 24 hours of traveling from the states.
For Eight days Charles drove us to Aberdare, Lake Nakuru, Hell's Gate and Masai Mara. In addition to his impressive knowledge of the countryside, wildlife and the national parks, Charles was friendly, funny and warm. Similarly, Fred was our guide at Amboseli, finding lions, cheetahs and (of course) elephants, as well as explaining the area's remarkable birdlife.
Of course we all await the pandemic to end. When it does, my family is already talking about another trip to Kenya, and our choice - without hesitation - would be Meander Africa Safaris.

Unforgettable cultural experience and tour
I decided only a few weeks in advance to book a tour in Ethiopia for holiday and I am so glad I found Ethio tours! Melese organised everything really well and was in communication to check on things when I was with local guides. The use of local guides is amazing and I learned so much from them. Muchaw in Lalibela was especially great and he knew a lot about the area and just about everyone in the city. It was interesting to see a mix of city and countryside in just four days. The hotels were all excellent, clean and comfortable. Gondar and Lalibela hotels also had beautiful views! Airport transfers worked well. All of the restaurants for lunch and dinner were very good and I enjoyed the traditional music and dance show in Addis. I would definitely recommend this company! My one recommendation is to put a little more detail in the daily itinerary. Thank you!

Highly Recommend Helena P & Emmanuel Macha
We met Helena P. at the NY Times travel show at the Javits Center in January 2019. All I knew is that I wanted to see the great migration and I had no idea how to plan the trip. Helena made everything so easy - we just had to pick a level for the safari (exclusive) and we added on Zanzibar and she took care of everything. Helena also took care of the changes we made due to COVID - eliminating our visit to Kenya and adding on to our safari in Tanzania.
Emmanuel Macha is an amazing guide. We saw everything you could want to see on safari - the big 5, pride of 20+ lions, 2 lioness & 6 cubs tracking & killing a warthog, and the wildebeest crossing. On safari you spend a lot of time in the jeep and Emmanuel was great company.
The hot lunches with wine were also a nice touch and I can't say enough good things about Helena & Emmanuel Macha.

4-Days Safari to Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru
The attention was very personal which I really appreciate and both the organiser and the driver were super nice and good professionals. It was one of the best experiences of my life for sure.

Reliable and efficient, Ethio Tours provided knowledgeable guides and safe drivers.
The weeklong tour satisfied expectations of a safe and interesting experience in exploring northern Ethiopia. Communications with the tour operator, Melese Aychew, were timely and all arrivals and departures, accommodations, and day tours were met and delivered as promised.

Well organized package
Went in October for 7 days (6 nights) after discussing the itinerary via WhatsApp. Quick and efficient in replying. Price is also competitive and fair (3800$ for 3 as a private Tour). Also after arriving everything went smooth and well, all as expected. As it’s Africa you can’t expect a hot shower or WiFi in all lodges/camps, but that’s definitely not the fault of the Operator. The driver (Isac) knows all Parks very well. Typically for a safari they don’t have explain much where to go next and what we might see. But he is a great guide and we really enjoyed the whole time together. He was never tired and liked to drive the whole day (6am-6pm). Food also as described and the portions are fine. Value for money is good, given that the entry fees are quite high. Would book our next tour with them we well and don’t hesitate to recommend them.

Great people, amazing experience!
Let me start off by saying I was extremely wary of traveling during COVID, but John at Keshi Tours made everything perfect! Very professional, highly communicative, and worked with me every step of the way to keep me informed and make sure I had everything I needed. John was also extremely flexible about the timing of payments due to the uncertainty around COVID travel planning, which I am extremely grateful for.
The safari itself was an absolute dream and I would book again in a heartbeat. We saw the big 5 and my guide was extremely knowledgeable about animal behaviors and territories within the park. As a photographer, this helped us track and locate certain animals while no other cars were around. We were always in position for great pictures and my guide was extremely patient with me and let me decide what animals I wanted to look for and how long I wanted to stay with them.
This is the second safari I’ve been on and Keshi Tours was above and beyond the other. If you are on the fence about booking or can’t decide between two companies, trust me when I say Keshi Tours will not disappoint you!

Amazing safari time with Serengeti Wakanda Tours & Safaris
Very happy with our safari with Serengeti Wakanda Tours & Safaris! We had a fantastic time of 5 days safari visiting Lake Manyare, Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro! The staff were all very well organised. Our guide Malisa was great and made sure we managed to see all of the Big Five and so many other animals and birds. No rushing, gave us time to enjoy amazing animals and nature! A very friendly guy with a lot of experience, we learned a lot from him.
All of the prepared meals were superb made in the field! Our cook Suleiman made us to feel a real taste of Africa. Car was equipped with a fridge, so cool water and beers when you need!
Organization was perfect!Bartho made sure any issues to be quickly solved!
A fantastic experience, highly recommend you to book with Bartho.
Asante sana guys!

Unethical company during pandemic
We booked this company as a trip of a lifetime. Due to the pandemic Kanyezi cancelled our trip and refused to return our deposit. Chris the owner claimed that he had distributed our deposits to various tour subcontractors and that they were all teetering on bankruptcy without showing us any proof. They all seem to be still in business and are still taking deposits for future bookings. He claimed he had no second party insurance with the various hotels, lodges, guides etc. and that we should make a claim to our own insurance company. He then refused to provide a simple standardized invoice noting the trip cancellation making the insurance claim much more difficult. He also said if we booked a future trip we would have to give another deposit instead of using our funds he already had in his hands. Why would anyone do this? Avoid Kanyezi like the plague. They are not honest business people.
