Wonderful nature and animals, questionable administration and policies
4/5

First, we had a wonderful time on the safari! We saw many different animals and the surrounding nature was stunning. On our first day, we flew from Zanzibar to Kogatende for the start of our safari. As soon as we landed, we were able to see many different animals such as Hippos and a lot of wildebeests. Furthermore, we patently waited for the wildebeests to cross the river, which sadly in the end did not happen. On our second day, we were on an all-day safari drive with the chance to see the big 5 and ugly 5. On our third day, we were at the Ngorongoro Crater, quite the side to be seen. And on the last day, we had another half-day safari drive before we headed back to the airport in Arusha to take our flight back to Zanzibar.

Now what was not as nice as the animals we saw was the administration behind the safari. First, we only received our flight confirmation the day before the safari started. Which led to us having to pay for extra baggage because we were not informed about the baggage policy beforehand by Nuhu Nari despite explicitly asking for it. Over all, the communication and organisation by Nuhu was an absolute disaster. He was very short in his answers and did not answer all the questions in a satisfying way. We paid part of the tour in cash upon arrival in Arusha, even tough Nuhu promised us a receipt we did not receive that until this day.

Although the driver was a lovely guy, he was a bit unfriendly on the last day. He was very demanding that the entire group of us (four people) write a review of the tour. Despite us telling him that we would do so, once we arrived at the hotel that day, he kept on promising that we would do it right now on the spot. What we also found a bit greedy was the tip policy, of which we were only informed once the safari started. At the end of our four-day safari, we tipped the driver 100 USD, which is, in our view, fair for the time we spent with him. According to their policy, he expected 320 USD (20 USD per person, per day), which I find to be a ridiculous amount of tip and also a very questionable policy. When we handed him the tip money at the end, he also told us that he expected more money because of the policy. Very unprofessional, a tip should never be seen as granted!

15 days trip, far beyond expectations!
5/5

When choosing operator, I contacted more than 15 travel agencies, and KLA understood my requirements most accurately, responded the fastest, and offered the most competitive price. So I made decision and paid within one week.

Gasper is our guide in Tanzania. His vehicle was cleaned and kept tidy every day, and he arrived earlier than us every morning and prepared lunch, making him very reliable. He spot Big Five within two days and witnessed wildebeest crossing the river three times in one day, always securing the best viewing spots!
Gasper is not only a guide but also the boss of KLA. He has boundless passion for his work, sleeping only 3 - 4 hours a day and spending almost rest time working. He is very smart and keeps learning to improve KLA, as a result, KLA’s business has grown very rapidly. He has many enthusiastic and experienced guides, hoping to serve each guest well and resolving any issues encountered immediately. During our trip, we met many other KLA guests, all of whom also expressed satisfaction with KLA

Joseph and Lenny are our guides in Kenya. Joseph has 35 years of experience, drives very steadily, and is highly knowledgeable. He explained the habits of various animals to us and tried his best to let us see all the animals. He is a guide with excellent professional skills and is also worth highly recommendations. Lenny is also a trustworthy guide, he is sincere, dedicated, keeps the car very clean each day and always delivers on his promises.

Our sales Mygreater, after we made the payment, quickly sent me vouchers for all 7 hotels. When we want to change travel schedule and add items, she patiently helped us make any arrangements. During the trip, Mygreater also inquired about our experience and promptly followed up. She is reliable, sincere, and enthusiastic, and is worthy of being recommended to everyone

If I were to describe in one word, it would be "AMAZING"!!
5/5

Such an experience is all thanks to KLA and our guide Gasper. He is a true savannah philosopher. He can always accurately tell where lions are hiding and where cheetahs are taking a nap under a tree, relying on some mysterious sense in the wind, the rustling grass, and the slightest trace left by animals. He tirelessly drives us around the boundless savannah in search, to let us see the most wonderful moments. We saw lots of lions, elephant herds, cheetahs, leopards, giraffes, buffaloes, wildebeests, zebras, hyenas, rhinoceros... Once we saw an elephant herd in the distance, Gasper said we should just wait and soon the herd would pass by us on their way to drink water over there. Sure enough, 15 minutes later, the elephant herd really came towards us! The guide's judgment was so amazing that I truly admired his professional skills! He also let us witness the wildebeest's crossing river 3 times in one day! He is not only a guide but also a knowledgeable teacher, patiently telling us about the social structure of lion prides, the differences between cheetahs and leopards, and each story makes the scene vivid and profound

Every morning, we would always see him having already cleaned the car spotlessly, waiting for us full of energy, with that day's breakfast and lunch already stored in the car

Equally touching to me is the hotel arranged for us by KLA. The considerate and warm service of the hotel staff is the most secure and sweetest haven for us in the wild Africa

Therefore, I would like to thank KLA and Gasper. They opened a door to the natural sanctuary for us with your wisdom, sweat, and enthusiasm. It's really great to have met you!

Thanks KLA for making our 15-day journey in Tanzania & Kenya far exceed expectations!
5/5

KLA's itinerary is very well-planned. Gasper, the guide from Tanzania, and Joseph and Lenny, the guides from Kenya, are all conscientious, responsible, and punctual in their work. They always arrive early at the appointed time, waiting for us to board the vehicle, and prepare breakfast and lunch for us each day. The vehicle is cleaned thoroughly every day, providing us with a comfortable environment. When we made a last-minute request to see more animals, they would do their best to adjust the route, just to ensure that we have no regrets. Gasper took us to witness the wildebeest crossing the river three times within one day, and our vehicle always managed to secure the best viewing spots each time!

There was also a small incident during the journey. We unexpectedly left phone on the previous vehicle, and by the time we noticed, half an hour had already passed. We were extremely anxious and quickly contacted Gasper, who immediately got in touch with multiple parties. Half an hour later, the driver drove back and handed the phone to us.

During these 15 days, what we have gained is not only a screen full of photos and unforgettable scenery, but also a sense of trust and touch. KLA made this trip far exceed expectations and become the most precious gift in life.

The itinerary is very reasonable, the hotel is not cost-effective, and the guide is very professional and reliable
4/5

The hotel's price-performance ratio needs to be improved. For example, the Lion Claw Hotel has a great view, but the food is average. We arrived at the hotel after 5 o'clock that day and were unable to enjoy more of the hotel's services.
