A Lovely Welcome to Kenya!
This was our first time visiting Kenya, and the largest group our organization has taken on a trip abroad. Everything about Kenya was new to me, and dealing with 20+ travelers meant there was even more to learn. Johnathan from Genesis of Adventure was beyond helpful and friendly while accommodating the many questions and changes I requested of him while planning as well as during the trip.
Client service and accommodations were excellent. Our experiences on the city tour, tea farm, Bomas, giraffe center, elephant center, and Maasai Mara Safari are truly unforgettable. Johnathan the manager, and all of the guides and drivers were quite personable and we will definitely work with them again. See pics on IG @travel_give

I would do a safari with no one else!
I have nothing but positive things to say about Mattaw Safaris. They did everything to ensure an awesome trip, trying to find as many animals as we possibly could. We got to see the three famous cheetahs and it's breakfast. :)
The driver we had, spotted anything and everything on our drive: from a dung beetle to a leopard high in a tree. We've done a few safaris in Kenya and the one with Mattaw Safaris was the best one ever. Hands on!
Highly recommend them to anyone and everyone!

Please confirm your itinerary carefully
We booked a 3 day tour exchanging mails with Suricata Safaris. We selected their tour from many options because they offered a tour with a luxury tented camp by a reasonable price in Safari booking.com. We carefully confirmed their offer many times before the booking, since a safari tour was our main purpose to go to Tanzania.
However, we realized they had prepared just a budget tent for us on arriving at a camp site in the evening on the first day. Here, what I want to say is that there might be difference between their offer shown in Safari booking.com and their actual tour. I recommend you to ask them to make precise itinerary for your tour in order to avoid any misunderstanding. I hope no one have such a disappointing experience anymore.
Finally, though I think it was quite expensive as a safari tour with the budget tent compared with other offers, the only salvation was quality of a driver and a cook.

Perfect
We had a lot of fun with our driver and very nice game drives. The communication was very good and we can plan everything like we want to do.
I will book again

Safari Sole is the way to go!
Bryson was wonderful to work with. He was always available and responded to all our questions immediately both before and during our trip. He arranged a ride from and to the Kilimanjaro airport for us. He was at our hotel at 5:00 am and made sure we got to the airport on-time.
Our driver Florian was very skilled and made sure we saw the big 5 and more. Our chef Dula made yummy food for us!
The weather was cold and it rained throughout the two nights we were camping! Perhaps another time of year would be better.
Thank you Bryson, Florian, and Dula!

Excellent
The MigoTravel Company, particularly our travel designer, deserve a six star rating! We started investigating a trip to Africa about one year prior to travel. I made inquiries via the internet and heard from many companies. This company quickly rose to the top of the list. Our travel designer's knowledge level, thoughtfulness, communication skills, and efficiency were immediately a notch above the rest. Seemed to truly "care" about our Africa experience. This total approach was worthwhile-the trip could not have been better.

Excellent
We enjoyed a 2 days safari with Shika. They are well organized starting from the pickup ending by exploring the animals. First day started by a brief description in Zanzibar followed by a Flight to Selous. When arrived to Selous we took our room in the camp. Room was OK. Since we are in the jungle we cannot have more than this confortable room. They we did a village visit and a boat trip Second day was a full day safari for 8 hours. We saw all the animals in the jungle. We had an excellent guide. The food wasn’t so good. A lot of mosquitoes and insects. But again it’s normal for the jungle. The price was a little bit expensive for us but it’s Ok since we have an air transfer. Thank you for this trip

Incredible experience with a very friendly and a well equipped company
We flew-in on Arusha, without much planning ahead, like always, we trust things will be fine once you meet the right local people. In our case Saidy. And it was indeed sorted within 30 minutes, right at the hotel. We could jump in a Landcruiser the following morning! We were lucky, we had a private safari (not in a group) which can be fun too, but with just a driver and cook and the 2 of us, you're just more flexible. We were accompanied by a Stanley (driver and guide) a great friendly giant, funny and knowledgeable about all animals around us, always happy to make that extra mile for a better shot. But he was also a mechanic - which gave us a comfortable feeling when we had to change a tire. And a cook (Vale) who cooked us 3 meals a day, early morning, late at night, always fresh and tasty! First to Tarangire, right at the start we already met a group of elephants, giraffes, monkeys, gnoes and other wildlife. Slept on a beautiful spot (!) on top of a valley, the sunrize was epic. Next day a long drive all the way up north-west to Serengeti where literally stumbled over all wildlife you can image. For 2 days we sept in a simple - but perfect tent at a (primitive) campsite. All you need is there, but you are in the bush, so no fancy stuff. Early bed, lost of animals and unfamiliar sounds around you, loved it. Early days, breakfast and started the game drives at 7:30/8. After the 2 day game drive with the (open rooftop land cruiser) back south to Ngorongoro crater, where we also spend a night. We've seen all wildlife we hoped to see, some very close (lions and cheetah next to the care) hippos in a pool and even rhinos from a distance. Special thanks to Stanley and Vale who made the trip a life time experience! Thanks Saidy for arranging everything, end to end to our satisfaction!
