Beautiful safari, but poor organization and an unprofessional guide.
2/5

The safari itself was a beautiful experience for me, with amazing landscapes and lovely accommodations. Despite the issues, I genuinely enjoyed it and would happily do a safari again.

Unfortunately, the organization was disappointing. We booked a 4-day safari, but after arriving we were told that our itinerary would be shortened to 3 days because we had been combined with another group with a different schedule. We complained about this and had to insist several times before the situation was partially resolved.

Our guide, Peter, was initially friendly, although we noticed that he rarely spotted animals himself and often followed other jeeps when they found something. We also noticed that other drivers could access certain areas that he told us he could not enter because he did not have the required license. For example, when we spotted a lion, other jeeps were able to get closer while we had to stay further away.

After we raised the issue about the itinerary, his attitude changed completely: he stopped speaking to us and no longer explained anything about the safari. On the last day, he also took us to the wrong hotel and was convinced that he was right until the hotel confirmed that we had no reservation there.

One final thing: check the prices carefully before paying. At the beginning, we were asked to pay €100 more than the amount we had calculated. The company said it was simply a mathematical mistake, and I hope that was the case, but I would recommend double-checking all calculations.

Overall, I loved the safari experience, but if I could do it again, I would definitely choose a different guide.

An Unforgettable Safari (Huge Thanks to Simba!)
5/5

An Unforgettable Safari (Huge Thanks to Simba!)
​We recently booked a Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru safari, and the entire experience was absolutely incredible. The agency did a fantastic job managing everything from end to end—the resort bookings were seamless, and the park entries, vehicle, and guiding were all perfectly coordinated.
​The absolute highlight of our trip, however, was our guide, Simba. Credits to him for making our game drives so successful! Simba was just as adventurous as we were, taking us deep into the territories to find the best viewing spots. He has an amazing ability to predict animal movements and constantly coordinated with other guides in the area to ensure we didn't miss a thing. Thanks to his patience and expertise, we managed to spot the entire Big 5! What we appreciated most was that he never made us feel rushed; he ensured we had a peaceful, immersive game drive experience at every stop.
​The only minor note is that the safari vehicle condition could be improved a bit. That said, given the rugged, intense off-road conditions of the terrain, it's completely understandable that the vehicles take a beating.
​Overall, it was a beautifully organized trip with top-tier guiding. We highly recommend them, and if you get the chance, definitely ask for Simba!

Excellent
