Great Safari Experience, but Issues with Transfers and Accommodation Standards
3/5

We had one major dispute with the agent.
While we knew budget accommodation was included in part of the itinerary(We offered Mid-range), the assigned room had an unpleasant odor and offered zero noise isolation, making outside noise clearly audible. Although they eventually offered an alternative option but the transfer from Arusha to Nairobi on that day turned out to be a shared local shuttle bus that they provide for us which was the way more far from a private experience.. It was disappointing as it felt like their standard for "Mid-range" differed significantly from ours.

Pros:
・Staying at Great Lodges in Kenya and part of Tanzania for an unbeatable price considering it was a mid-range package.
We stayed :
Jambo Mara Safari Lodge / Sarova Woodlands Hotel and Spa / Amboseli Sopa Lodge
The Charity Hotel International / Shuhudia Camp / Hhando Coffee Lodge / Tulia Hotel & Spa

・Communication via WhatsApp was generally very prompt and responsive.
・The driver and chef we met in Tanzania were both perfectly wonderful. Going on safari with them created unforgettable memories for us.

Cons:
・The transfer vehicles picking us up from the hotels had ridiculously loud music and a strong perfume odor.
・Since it was a group tour, the passengers in our safari vehicle changed every day during the Kenya portion. Traveling alongside people with completely different age groups and trip objectives meant we occasionally forced to share the ride with people whose personalities didn't quite mesh with ours (though usually only for two days at most).

Overall, the safari experience itself was very enjoyable. But the driver in Kenya was quite rough in their driving and caused us to miss some key viewing opportunities, like Animals with Kilimanjaro view which really highlighted just how crucial a driver-guide's personality and expertise are☺️

The tour operator has WeChat, and deposit can be paid in RMB.
4/5

I took an 8‑day group safari tour with Eta Adventure Safaris. I am a solo female traveller from China. Eta Adventure Safaris operates together with Super Eagles.

Pros:

1. They have WeChat support. The deposit can be paid in RMB via WeChat, only 10 % of the full payment. It makes communication much easier whenever any issues come up during the trip.

2. Airport pick‑up and drop‑off services are free of charge.

3. I selected my own hotels and asked them to make advance bookings for me. All check‑ins went smoothly.

Cons:

1. Fixed group tours cannot be customised. I really wanted to see the wildebeest river crossing, which requires long waiting by the Mara River — some groups wait from 6:30 until 14:00. On shared group safaris you have to accommodate every passenger, so sightings depend purely on luck.

2. Tour guides are assigned randomly, so experience varies greatly. My first guide John was excellent and gave me a wonderful start to the trip. However, my second guide was consistently one to two hours late. We filed a complaint and got him replaced.

Summary:
Group tours bring together travellers from all over the world to share travel stories, which suits outgoing people. I would say this operator is worth considering if you book their shared group safari. It is a relatively large local agency. I met another Chinese tourist whose agency was terrible: that provider downgraded her accommodation without consent, charged for airport transfers and ignored her formal complaints.

The driver's driving skills are very good. He is a car god and a very patient person. He is better t
5/5

The driver's driving skills are very good. He is very interesting and patient, much better than many drivers.

Masai Mara Safari & Enchoro Wildlife Camp Review
Overall Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4/5)
Location: Masai Mara National Reserve, Kenya
Tour Operator: Easy Budget Safaris
Camp: Enchoro Wildlife Camp
Outstanding Tour Operator & Field Guide
My safari experience in the Masai Mara was incredible, and a huge part of that success goes to our tour operator, Easy Budget Safaris, and our amazing driver-guide, Charles.
* Easy Budget Safaris: They were excellent and highly responsive, providing truly friendly and caring customer service. When I raised the issues we faced at the camp with them, they were immediately apologetic and took full accountability, assuring me they would look into the matter to ensure everything was resolved.
* Charles (Driver-Guide): He is deeply knowledgeable, highly professional, and genuinely cares about his tourists, constantly encouraging and supporting us throughout the journey.
* Wildlife Highlights: We were fortunate enough to witness the spectacular wildebeest migration, spot four of the Big Five (all except the rhinos), and see the fascinating "Ugly Five." Every moment on the safari drives was unforgettable.
At the camp itself, Simon (one of the staff members) stood out for being exceptionally helpful and cordial. The tents were clean, comfortable, and had a reliable electricity supply.
Areas for Improvement: Camp Management & Facilities
Unfortunately, the Enchoro Wildlife Camp management falls well short of the excellence provided by the field staff and Easy Budget Safaris—representing a noticeable decline from my previous experience here back in 2016.
We encountered functional issues in both our toilet and shower facilities. While management did relocate us to a new tent after we complained, it raises serious concern about what would have happened had the camp been fully booked with no vacant tents available.
Furthermore, the WiFi connectivity was abysmal. On our first day, there was no connection at all, with staff promising it would be fixed by the next day. On day two, we finally received a signal, but it was far too weak to send even basic text messages. By day three, despite sitting alone in the dining lounge trying to get a stable connection, it failed entirely—even getting stuck while trying to load pictures to send back to family.
Final Verdict
I would highly recommend Easy Budget Safaris and guide Charles to anyone planning a trip to the Mara. However, I would not recommend Enchoro Wildlife Camp solely due to its weak management and poor infrastructure/WiFi.
