Amazing safari
1. The car (a safari-vehicle-converted 8-seater Toyota) was comfy and safe.
2. Our driver-guide Sam was nice, polite and always able to spot the animals. He was flexible and knowledgeable. He cleaned the vehicle daily (as you can imagine, the roads are dusty).
3. We stayed in standard lodges - to be honest, what they call "standard" was already in the luxurious zone for us. But it was worth it as it was only a few dollars more expensive than camps. All the hotels were nice, comfy and fully equipped.
4. The meals

in safari lodges are not Michelin-level, but they are still good. Water, tea and coffee was always provided. Breakfast buffet was satisfactory even for a gluten-free person.5. Our driver provided drinking water for us.
6. If you want to see the big 5, go to Maasai Mara. If you want to enjoy the scenery, go to Amboseli. For this reason I was happy that we decided to do Mara first and Amboseli second - we saw all the animals first and then had fun later.

A life changing experience
This adventure went beyond any of my expectations. Definitiely a lifetime highlight for me and my family, filled with memories that we will cherish for years to come. Everything was taken care of, handled with excellence, and treated with a “touch of class.” I am also glad that we took the coaching on selecting the land cruiser vs the mini-van, thanks Simon. Accommodations, food, and service were wonderful. Can’t wait for the next one.

Wonderful
Our family of 5 recently did the 6 day safari with Becon safari. The
communication and booking through Robert was excellent and prompt. We were
picked up in Nairobi, went to Ambosili, Massi Mara and Lake Nakuru. The
accommodation and meals were very good.
Our guide was an excellent driver, polite, friendly enough, found and
showed the big 5, and many other wild animals, which in itself was
fantastic! He also spoke to the front desk at one of the lodges and
promptly got us a room when ours wasn't ready at check in, which was very
much appreciated after a long day of travel.
Beacon Safari was easy to book, took care of all the details, and a good company to go through if thinking of going to Kenya.

Outstanding experience1

another 3 days in Kenya. We booked two tours through One Horizon Outreach program and had the most wonderful time. The first day we visited a couple of Masai, spending the day with the women, making bracelets, sharing tea and donuts and hearing their life stories. The next day we spent the day with some grandmothers and the pigs they are raising for sale(their "bank"). We got to hold baby piglets, feed the bigger pigs and then made their special chipati bread which we shared while drinking tea and talking to the wonderful, brave grandmothers. The whole trip to Kenya was magical and I would highly recommend it. Also, I would highly recommend Savannah Sound Safaris, not only for safari, but just to have as a driver/guide while visiting Kenya itself. I felt very safe, both with Sammy and with Steve who was our driver the last night there and again to go to the airport for a very early flight to South Africa. I would go back to Kenya in a heartbeat if I could.

Top choice safari for your first visit to Kenya
My friends and I (total of 3 persons) have traveled to Kenya in late February 2019 for a 4-day trip, including Masai Mara park and Maji Moto Eco Camp nightstand, which was absolutely terrific. Nadzua was so smooth and helpful in solving any of the questions that I had, hence without any hesitation, I am happy to recommend BuyMore Adventure as your safari operator.

The safari was a dream come true!! We had a fantastic time on our 4 day safari.
We had an amazing time on a 4 day safari with Tanke Travel. Caroline was very helpful, answered all our questions before hand and arranged us Beautiful resorts to stay in. She was helpful from the very start to the end of safari, she took care of everything. We hired the more expensive private 4x4 jeep but it was well worth it. Our driver Kevin was fabtastic, he was punctual, friendly, patient, took us to all the great spaces to see the animals and had great music. We saw lionesses, elephant, zebra, giraffe, hippo, wilderbeast, jackels, wild dogs, hyenas, different birds and caught a glimps of a rhino. The resorts were also beautiful. We highly recommend Tanke travel! Thank you

Great variety of scenery
We went 3 people in a private 13 day safari with the company Australken. We visited Samburu, ol pejeta, aberdare, lake naivasha, maasai mara, lake nakuru and lake bogoria. Arranging the trip according to our wishes went smooth, Zippy responded quickly and were happy to let us tailor the itinerary. She repeatedly checked up on us during the trip to ensure that everything was fine. Our guide Symon had great knowledge about the flora and fauna of our destinations. He made a big effort that left us very happy with the trip. I can without any doubt recommend Australken to others, and will gladly use their services again should i return to the area

Excellent 6 day safari
All was fantastic. The driver /guide (primarily a driver) was great. Accommodation ranged from fair (permanent tents) to very good for hotel nights. "Head office" were sometimes slow to provide information, booked documents, and there were a few items that people were not sent all all - which the driver was able to sort out after phoning head office several times. I suppose the clue is in the name, "Budget safaris", I WOULD book this trip again!
