Wonderful experience
All arrangements were followed through very effectively from the minute we arrived at Nairobi airport until we arrived back to Nairobi after completing the trip.
The guides ( Paul & Joel ) were very professional & friendly and ensured that we got the best from the trip.
Accommodation ranged from very good Hotels to a wonderful campsite in the Serengeti. Food was very good with adequate lunchboxes provided each day.
The road trips were a bit rough, but they are bush roads and very bumpy and dusty as it was dry season so dust masks would be very useful at this time of year.
We are already looking forward to going back and will definitely be using Kenya Walking Survivors Safaris Ltd

Very impressive with a awesome guide
It was arranged in the Netherlands. We didn't know we could have done it by ourself.
The guide was there for us at the airport in Oeganda and has driven safely and showed us a lot of fine things.
The chimps were very cute and the gorilla's visit very expensive but allright. The chumps seem to have more freedom than the gorilla's. In Rwanda the stay in hotel les mille collines was very good.
Next time it would be better when we coud set out a trip together.

An amazing experience
Whilst staying on a local private game reserve we went into the Kruger on 2 days. I don't know whether we were just lucky or if its always like this, but we saw so many amazing sights on both occasions. We were helped hugely by having an excellent guide and driver on both occasions. I really think this is key to having a great experience. They know the animal behaviour and can spot so many animals we would have missed if we were on our own. Their knowledge of the park will have also helped massively. On both occasions we found the park to be quiet with not too many other vehicles to contend with. This was a concern of mine before going. We did find a few crowds where there were 5-10 other vehicles, but these were on the main paved roads where there were leopards, cheetah or elephants in water holes. The rest of the time we just explored and mostly were the only vehicle watching the animals. On both days we were there we saw the big 5 and so much more. A brief list of animals we saw whilst there includes: Lions, Cheetah, Leopard (3 in trees, one hunting), Jackal, Wild Dogs, Hyena, Elephants, Zebras, Giraffes, Buffalo, Ostriches, Vultures, Birds of Prey, Kudu, Impala, Steenbok, Nyala, Wildebeest, Warthogs, Waterbuck, Crocodiles, Hippos, countless birds, a couple of species of mongoose, baboons, monkeys, white rhino. We were also fortunate enough to see a black rhino. One thing to note is that it is well worth arriving as the gates open and leaving just before they close. The animals are out and moving around best when its a bit cooler and tend to stay out of the heat of the day a bit. It can be quite chilly at this time so warm clothes are advised and it can get stiflingly hot in the middle of the day. The area we visited was entering through the Orpen gate and heading North and South from Santara. It was September and incredibly dry which made viewing animals easier. All in all we found it a wonderful place and are thinking of saving for another trip, perhaps in a different season.

Review about Kruger National Park by Remco Verkoeijen
Wildlife is definitely better than Balule, but there are more tourists as well. All roads are paved.

Review about Balule Nature Reserve by Remco Verkoeijen
Because of the drought, wildlife is a little bit less than Kruger, but the bush vibe is great because of the small unpaved roads. It felt very private as there were only a few operators in that area. It is a very nice addition to the day in Kruger as you're allowed in all day and night.

Amazing
The wildlife and accommodation were great. the personnel was always helpful and the chefs prepared some of the best dishes I had during my entire stay in SA. Guides really made a difference during the game drives and bush walk as they have a much better clue where to look for animals and other signs of wildlife. The reserve itself was very dry because of the lack of rain. This made spotting animals a lot easier, but it would have been nice if it had already rained so the landscape looks prettier. In general, they definitely surpassed my expectations and I can recommend them for a guided tour to Kruger.

An amazing Masai Wonders with Safari Line Defenders
I am a Travel Consultant from India by profession and an avid Amateur Wild Life Photographer. I was long looking for a good Service Provider for a business relationship to promote tourism in Kenya and had been in line with plenty of operators. Finally came across Safari Line Defenders and though before starting a business relationship, I should personally have an understanding of the quality of service. Thus, booked a 6N 7D Trip covering Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Naivasha, Hell's Gate & Amboselli trip with them. I would if not 100% would surely rate them 99% for their prompt service delivery and quality. I would recommend all to try them out for your Wild Life trip to Kenya for sure.
