CKGR = real backcountry Botswana
March wasn't the best time to go for wildlife viewing, or at least this time around due to recent rains and the high grass. We made the trek from the north all the way down and through Kutse. It's a very long way, and some hairy 4x4 off-roading. Not sure I'd make that trip again, but certainly portions of the park are worth seeing and experiencing, including camping at one of the many backcountry campsites.

Review about Masai Mara National Reserve by Benjamin
Countless animals just roam around the savannah. I saw Big Five over and over, as well as a cheetah hunting a gazelle. It's like watching Nat Geo or Discovery Channel live. The sceneries were peaceful and inspiring.

One item checked off my bucket list but I want to do more safari!
The serene lake is the grazing ground for many herbivores, from white rhinos to zebras. I saw so much wildlife in two drives--before sunset and after sunrise, where were the best times to spot animals. The weather was gorgeous in Feb, although very cold in the morning so gear up and wear a down feather jacket and a scarf. The tour operator we booked with put us at a guesthouse inside the park. It's a no frill place but secure with fences around the property. The tour company also dispatched a chef to cook for us. The food was okay but we were not too demanding nor picky anyway. The mini van from the tour company was outdated and very bumpy on dirt roads and unpaved paths. I wish it was a Jeep with better suspension system. Our guide was knowledgeable and great at spotting animals for us to see.

Review about Kenya by Benjamin
The whole country is like a zoo, with abundant wildlife, preserved well for tourists to enjoy and respect. Big Five can be easily spotted. I saw over 30 types of animals and countless unique birds too. I'd love to return to Kenya to visit other national parks. Just be aware of the souvenir shop owners along the drive from Nairobi to the parks and Masai women at the park gates who are way too eager to sell crafts to tourists. Definitely bargain and start at 30-40% of the asking price. NBO airport needs a makeover.

Very good 4 day group safari with Northern circuit adventure
Thanks to Denis - our Safari guide - we were able to enjoy 4 days of very excellent safari at 4 different national parks including a wonderful walking safari at Arusha National park. Denis really was a very good guide which made us a perfect safari. During our safari we stayed at Sunbright tented camps which was a good basis for the different parks we visited and our cook served us there with delicious meals. We really had the chance to experience a wonderful safari - although we only had a little budget available for our safari.
It was also very positive that we were picked-up at the airport the evening before the safari and had a shuttle service to our hotel in Arusha.
Besides the communication via e-mail with Michael from Northern Circuit Adventure was always good and all email inquiries were answered very fast. So I would recommend northern circuit adventure for safari.

It was a really grear!
I think it lived up to my expectations and the communications was great.
Perfect. Efficient, reliable, punctual and friendly!
I booked a permit to see the mountain gorillas at Mgahinga N.P. with Gatatu Safaris and everything was sorted out for me with real professionalism and the staff demonstrated experience and understanding of clients' requirements. Richard, the tour operator, was patient with my requests for a safe, reliable driver and of course a gorilla tracking permit which was obtained at short notice. Stephen, the driver, was punctual and friendly, getting me to and from the park safely. Most impressive of all was the attention Gatatu paid to the client. I met with both Richard and Stephen several times before the trip to ensure everything was planned to perfection. I'd recommend Gatatu to anyone wanting to see the incredible gorillas in Uganda.

An amazing experience!!
An amazing experience
Our Kenyan safari with Khanga Safaris was a once in a lifetime experience. What an amazing safari that Kenya offered, and what an excellent experience our tour company provided for us. We saw the big 5 and A LOT more...there was no animal of these majestic creatures of Kenya that we hoped to see which we were unable to in 7 days. Our tour guide Benson was very friendly, fun, and very helpful not just during the safari but also when we were checking in for lodging, food, and so forth. Lawrence the tour coordinator was very helpful and generous to help us in needs outside of our itinerary, such as going for a Maasai village visit and a boat ride at Lake Naivasha. The lodging had everything we needed. We could not have asked for a better safari, and a better vacation. Shall surely come back and choose Khanga Safaris again!
