A Memorable Safari Experience
My husband and I recently completed an 8 day Kenya and Tanzania safari tour with Leo Beast and overall had a positive experience.
Before arriving, we were very impressed with how easy communication was with Lizzy. Her response time was excellent, and she patiently answered all of our questions leading up to the trip.
Our time in Kenya went very smoothly and was the highlight of the tour. Accommodations included a fixed tent and a hotel, we saw the Big Five along with many other animals up close, and although some days were long, they never felt tiring because there was so much to see. Our guide, Solomon, was exceptional. He shared extensive knowledge about the animals, could spot even the smallest birds from far away, and actively communicated with other guides to help track wildlife.
The Tanzania portion of the trip was more challenging. The first day lasted over 12 hours and involved multiple logistical stops and passenger pickups before reaching the Serengeti, which limited our game drive time to under two hours that day. We were also not informed until after arriving in Nairobi that accommodations in Tanzania would be tent camping. This would have been helpful to know in advance, especially as the mattress and sleeping bag provided at Seronera Camp were not in good condition.
The following day started later due to heavy rain, and our game drive included a long wait for another passenger who was participating in a hot air balloon safari. Because of the park’s size and ongoing rain, wildlife sightings were limited. We then traveled to Simba Camp, which was a good campsite. On our final day, we visited the Ngorongoro Crater. While the weather improved, animal sightings were still limited. That said, the landscapes throughout Tanzania were absolutely beautiful.
If you are deciding between Kenya and Tanzania, we would recommend Kenya for better overall value. Accommodations were more comfortable, the Maasai Mara felt less crowded than the Serengeti and Ngorongoro in December, and because the park is smaller, there is a higher likelihood of seeing animals during game drives.
I would definitely book with Leo Beast again as it is an affordable way to experience a safari, and working with Lizzy is easy and stress-free.
As a side note, we took the shuttle bus from Nairobi to Arusha and crossed the border. For Americans, the visa on arrival costs $100 and is an easy process. Credit cards are accepted.
Fully satisfied with the tour.
We collected details of many safari tour groups from the internet. The first group we contacted by e-mail was Leo Beast of Nairobi, Kenya. Lizzy Manzi of Leo Beast answered all our questions precisely and in a timely fashion with innumerable good early suggestions. So, we decided to stick to Leo Beast and bought 10-day safari trip and soon realized that the price of the trip was significantly lower than similar tours posted by other international tour groups. Moreover, very little we paid in advance and most of the money were paid on the day of the trip. During the first day of the safari tour in comfortable Toyota Land Cruiser 4X4 off-road vehicle, we saw innumerable wild life including 3 of big 5 i.e. elephant, lion and buffalo. We also saw 5 lionesses eating a freshly hunted wildebeest. In the 2nd day of the tour, we saw 4 of big 5 i.e. a leopard eating a hunted impala in the top of a tree. In the third day, we saw the 5th of big 5 i.e. rhinos. We were amazed to see several lions and lionesses walking in the streets along with our vehicle at Lake Nakuru. On sixth day, we entered Tanzania through Namanga border. There was change in driver, vehicle and passengers as many booked for 5-day trip of either Kenya or Tanzania. We enjoyed the company of like-minded fellow travelers from Spain, Switzerland, Taiwan, Belgium and Greece. In Serengeti, we saw many lion cubs of the sizes of a cat. We saw elephants hiding their small babies in big grass to protect them from predators. We also saw 3 cheetahs siblings chasing a rabbit and one of them got it and ate it alone without sharing with his siblings. View of Ngorongoro Crater was gorgeous where we saw two wildebeests engaged in fight. In a nutshell, in our 10-day trip in early August we saw more animals than we ever expected and highly recommend Leo Beast for Safari tours of Kenya and Tanzania.
Very informative and attentive throughout, 5 stars
5 star service, attentive throughout, plus the best safari holiday I’ve ever been too!

Absolutely excellent
Was the best choose of my life.
I did the 10 days safari in Kenia and Tanzania and only in second day we saw de big five. The best trip of my life and I can say this before than been travelling in 30 countries
We had an amazing time and Lizzy was extremely helpful
We really enjoyed our safari - our safari guide, Martin, was very knowledgeable and ensured we got amazing views of all the wildlife. Lizzy was also prompt at responding to us and even helped us organise our plans in Nairobi after we finished the safari. Just to note that all the accomodation during the safari was different from what was advertised online (although the standard of accomodation seemed similar). This didn't bother us but I can imagine it would be upsetting if you had booked the trip based on this information.
