Very nice Safari in Masai Mara!
Me and my family we went to Masai Mara for 3 days, 2 nights. We didn't have much time and no large budget so we asked Travel for Change for advice. They suggested to go to Masai Mara because you can see many animals in a short period of time. We had a great time!
We stayed in Loyk camp in northern mara and the camp was very nice. We slept in a canvas tent but in a very nice bed and waking up among the animal sounds is lovely.
The drive through mara was a bit long in our safari van because the road is very bad, but our van was strong and the driver was friendly. It also turned out later that our driver had a lot of knowledge about the wild life as well. That was really nice. Also a big plus for us was that a friendly lady from Travel for Change came and see us when we were in Nairobi and were to meet our driver. That was a comforting start of our yourney.
As for the animals we are aware that you have to have some luck sometimes but we felt we really saw a lot of different animals. Lions, Wildebeast, Giraffe's, Bufffalo's and many other. All in all we were surprised that we could have such a lovely safari with such a tight budget.

Great experience!
Our safari trip with Joe lasted 6 days and every day we saw something new and wonderful. Lionesses hunting, leopard having breakfast, tons of elephants and zebras, a mother cheetah with 2 cubs... Joe and our cook Peter took very good care of us - timing was precise, food was delicious and we heard some interesting safari stories on top of all that. It was the kind of trip we can only recommend :) Thank you very much, Joe!

Fantastic - an extraordinary once in a lifetime experience
My family just had our two week Kenya and Tanzania safari. It is such a wonderful experience that we are continuing sharing the trip every day with our friends and colleagues. Our safari organizer Wildlife Sun Safaris (www.wildlifesunsafaris.com) is so good that everything is great. The meticulous itinerary design, the valuable trip advice, the prompt communications, the various services provided to us (for example, one of the luggages was delayed arriving Nairobi and James offered help without hesitation to pick it up from airport next day at 6am), the list goes on and on. We are extremely grateful for all the services and help provided by James and his team for this safari. Our drivers, tour guides and cooks Thoya, Jimmy, Ali, Casey and Jackson are great gentlemen. Not only do they know their job well, they are very considerate and polite. With their expertise and help, we have seen lots of animals including over 50 lions with even a scene four lions killing a buffalo, 10+ cheetahs, leopard, black and white rhinos, hippos, hyenas, numerous elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, all kinds of gazelles, birds, flamingos and our beloved Hakuna Matata warthogs. We'd also like to thank Thoya and Jimmy for sharing their family stories, their job experiences and their hopes at the end of a safari day - It helped us learn about the culture, local economy and ordinary people's life. Thank you Thoya, Jimmy, Ali, Casey and Jackson! Thank you James and your team!

Best trip ever to Kenya
Perfect organization on site; they were always on time to pick us up at our hotel.
We visited not less than 5 wonderful places every single day.
I am already looking forward to my trip next year.

Great Safari
Dealing with Wildebeest safaris was an easy experience. I booked my 2 night 3 day safari last minute (the day before I went safari!). I negotiated a good lodge and price with Noah. I was nervous about doing a joining safari as you can't guarantee the other people or driver will be good. However all worked out well. The Driver (I forget his name) was excellent and got us close to the animals. Sadly only 3 of 5 of the big 5 were spotted. Overall it was an incredible experience!

Excellent communication before the trip and professional service during the trip.
We booked the 10 day Kenya Safari with Pam Tours and Travel Ltd. Communication was prompt and clear. We met Paul and Albert at the airport and their courteous and professional approach makes you feel at once well taken care of. We also met Zach who was our guide / driver for the trip. We cannot imagine having a better person than him because he was not only knowledgable about the wildlife and the places we visited but also very polite and patient but at the same time, in charge of the trip and making our holiday a memorable one. I am so pleased with the professional service offered by Pam Tours and Travel Ltd that I am seriously considering the possibility of organising a similar trip with them for a group of friends.

An Amazing Experience
Had an amazing experience with best day safaris. Peter responds very quickly to emails and is happy to make any adjustments (I had an extra day in the crater and an extra day on the Serengeti to track migration).
Great organisation, customizable itinerary, great food, drinking water and fantastic drivers.
Had great luck on safari with my driver and guide "six".
Saw loads of elephants, hippos, buffalo, giraffes, zebra, 50 lions, 4 leopard, 4 cheetahs (saw them hunt and kill a gazelle) and loads of hyena (saw them battle lions twice). In the crater we were fortunate enough to see a black rhino who even charged a jeep and we were even more fortunate in the Northern Serengeti to see the wildebeest migration cross the Mara river in their thousands! A truly amazing and unforgettable experience. I cannot recommend them enough. Thank you Peter and "six"!

The most wonderful safari experience ever!
The communication on forehand was not great. Difficult to book without an tour operator.
When we were there it was more than we had expected. A great staff team took care of us, everything went smoothly. The combination of canoeing and walking is extraordinary, and will spoil you for ever! Seeing the wild live on foot and from the water adds an other dimension and was absolutely wonderful!Despite the awful fact that we have been robbed during our camping , we would recommend thuis to every body ...or rather keep it secret?! The guides were excellent and told and showed us so much, not only about the wildlife but also about the fauna, geology and ecosystems.

A wonderful safari experience with tropical trails
Tropcal trails was recommended to us via friends. We booked a safari for six via e-mail. Tropical trails was very efficient and rapid in their communication and did everything they could to fulfill our wishes. The trip we finally choose looked very good on paper and we started our trip with high expectations. The trip wasindeed wonderfull,with a very good and frienly service, very good lodges and a guide/driver who was highly professional. The only minor point is that the compay works with karama lodge in Arusha as a starting point. This is a good lodge but cannot match the lodges during our trip.
