A plethora of wildlife at the end of the dry season
We arrived at Lake Nakuru National Park on our Intrepid Travel safari bus and headed straight to the lalk, which was very, very low because it was at the very end of the dry season. The skies were overcast but it was dry!
Around the lake there was plenty of birdlife including a pair of elegant crested crowned srane. There were a variety of wading birds around the lake's edges including, ruff, little stint, greenshank, redshank and black-winged stilt as well as the ubiquitous Egyptian geese. In the bush good sightings of Rupeell's long-tailed starling were to be had.
Gazelles were plentiful and impala, Grants and Thompson's gazelle were to be seen around the park, as were olive baboons, black-backed jackal, warthog, African buffalo, Burchell's zebra and lion.
The highlight of the visit came at dusk just before we were leaving. We were treated to brief views of two blac rhinoceros before coming across a crash of 10 white rhinoceros.
A great trip to the National Park with great views of a variety of wildlife.

Review about Kenya by Neil Fawson
A wide variety of wildlife seen but in my safari group few were interested in birds preferring to chase after the "Big 5" What I saw/identified led to think that this would be a great birding destination

Eastern Team
My first time ever on a Safari and Masoko Tours made it the most memorable time ever! Our guides Maka, Roy and Paris took extremely good care of us. We were comfortable and safe for the duration of the trip. We saw every animal imaginable on the Safari and the guides were so knowledgeable about them. They were fun, full of information and spoke English very well. They were most accommodating to all of us on the trip and I am already looking forward to going again!

first tour with Kenya Walking Survivors Safaris but not my last
From the first email and phone call until the ride back to the airport, I was treated like I was the only customer they had. We were very impressed at the punctuality and attention to detail they showed.

Gorilla safari in Uganda most memorable
My family and I took this holiday for 8 days to have a tour in Uganda and also see the gorillas. We were not disappointed with the services of this company and the driver / guide was always very punctual which is rare in Uganda. We visted also kibale forest for the chimpanzee trek and I recommend any one to make a stop there too. Over all we were not disappointed with anything.

Amazing Tanzania delivered with stupendous events and first rate care
Amazing Tanzania was top drawer from start to finish. Laura gave us an excellent itinerary, dovetailing game drives and cultural contacts. We saw stunning animals in real life, met with groups from several tribes (enjoyed detailed, subtle and sometimes hilarious conversations about life and customs), and reaped the benefits of our master guide, Paul Panga. Paul could identify everything we saw - he knows the science and the nature of the plants, animals, and minerals that we observed. He 'saw it happening' long before we did and got us to the center of the action on our game drives. His multi-cultural sensitivity was most comforting. And his bush driving skills in all conditions, are now for me, legendary. Our accommodations were flawless. The food was amazingly delicious. My dietary restrictions were beautifully met --> more than once my special dishes caught the envy of my travel mates. Cannot recommend Amazing Tanzania, Laura & Colin highly enough.

7 days Nomad Tour Level A - I couldn't ask for more!
We went to Tanzania in our honey moon to do a Safari with It Started in Africa. We get their contact from a friend who has been there and done the same safari and we get a lot of good points from the It Started regarding the organization and what they provide to clients during the safaris. I'll certainly do another Safari and I'll ask It Started to arrange it for me.

Great Safari with an experienced team.
Everything was perfectly organized and communicated by Richard and his experienced team. Special thanks to our guide Stanley, our cook and Jeremias with whom I spent an amazing bike trip to lake manyara and to different tribes - he has an enormous knowledge!

Fantastic, well English speaking guides with a lot of knowledge about Tanzania (and insider tips)
We went with Modestus from Iringa (where we stayed some days at Neema Crafts - very good place) to Isimila.
He explained us all needed about that traditional place while we walked around as well as the flowers and animals we have seen. After that days we went with him to the Ruaha NP, where we stayes three days in a very nice tent lodge with very good food. Here we made a two days visitation of the Ruaha NP, one at day time, one in the very early morning. It was fantastic to have breakfast in the park. Back in Iringa we spent a day and an evening with Modestus and learned a lot more as well. Choose this guides - you can´t do a mistake!

It was my first time to deal with Sunset.Their services were superb!
I was referred about Sunset Africa by my friend. It was the best choice ever! I did not regret any moment for using them. The communication was excellent! All the time I was updated on the tour plan to ensure that everything is ok and providing all the contacts including the driver identified to pick us. The driver arrived in time and the breakfast package provided while travelling was very delicous and more than enough. Although it was a long drive to the camp, but we did not feel tired as the driver was entertaining us by telling us all good places along the way and the history of those places. He was very knowledgeable. Upon arrival at the camp, all the arrangements were already in place including the tour programme for the days we will be in the camp. The tents are very nice and comfortable. The staff at the camp provided us the best services and good food. The tour guides made sure we see all the animals and they were not giving up easily esp. when tracing the lions who were very difficult to see. Overall the tour was the best and this is the beginning and not the end!! Bravo Sunset Africa!
