Unforgettable Days in Tansania
We spent our honeymoon on a private safari. 5 nights, 6 days
On the very first day, I was surprised with a bouquet of roses, and the tour was off to a great start.
Hotels: We received suggestions before the trip, and whenever we requested changes, they were handled without any issues. The hotels were good, and the staff was very friendly. The food was also good to very good.
Safari: We absolutely loved the safari! You should know that you’ll spend many hours in the car, but it was worth it. We were able to see all the animals we wanted to see.
Car: In the car, they provide soft drinks and beer in addition to water. However, the soft drinks didn’t last until the end—they weren’t refilled. The binoculars weren’t very good either—it’s better to bring your own. Otherwise, it was great and comfortable. The same goes for lunch, which was provided each day—it was good and filling.
Guide:
The guide was friendly and spoke English. He wasn’t very enthusiastic, though. Of course, he knows everything inside and out, but it seemed like he wasn’t enjoying his job as much anymore.
All in all, though, we can definitely recommend Mamnana. Everything went smoothly and we were completely satisfied.
The hot air balloon ride is a must-do. It’s worth it for everyone!!

Perfect experience
Booked my safari with Baby bird tours and it was a perfect, smooth and carefully planned experience (with a beautifully detailed itinerary). We unfortunately had to change our original planned date due to cancelled flights and there were so helpful in rearranging everything including our lodge accommodation.
We got a private tour so were able to tailor the safari to what we needed. Festus our tour guide was very knowledgeable and had amazing vision and was able to spot so many animals before we could which was an added bonus. We had lovely conversations about life in Kenya and it was truly a beautiful experience. Recommending them to my friends who wish to book safaris!
Thank you all ❤️

Amazing Guide and Great Safari Experience
I booked my safari through Jungleroam Safaris. Their communication was prompt and responsive, although some parts of the arrangement could be improved.
For example, the pick-up time for going to the office, making the payment, and meeting the rest of the group was not very well coordinated. My pick-up was late, which meant both I and the other group members had to wait. I also joined a balloon safari and had to wait quite a while for my guide to pick me up afterward. More precise coordination would make the overall experience smoother.
That said, our guide David was excellent. He is professional, knowledgeable, proactive, and punctual. He explained not only the animals we saw, but also shared interesting information about local tribes, villages, landscapes, animal behavior, and the ecosystem.
He was also very proactive in communicating with other guides and gathering information, which gave us more chances to see lions, cheetahs, and leopards. Thanks to his experience and effort, we were able to complete the Big Five and learn much more about the animals and their behavior during our safari.
Regarding the accommodation, it would be helpful if guests were reminded in advance to bring personal toiletries such as shampoo, shower gel, toothbrushes, and towels. A small light or headlamp would also be useful, as the tents can be quite dark at night.
Overall, I had a very good safari experience and would recommend Jungleroam Safaris, especially David as a guide, to anyone considering a safari.

Guide to Kenya’s Wildlife
Our multi-day safari through Maasai Mara, Amboseli, and Lake Nakuru was an absolute bucket-list experience, made flawless from start to finish by Axis Africa Safaris. If you are looking to experience the absolute best of Kenyan wildlife, this is the team to book with!
Thanks to Jeff our guide who has shown the best of wildlife and we were lucky to spot the Big -Five.
Tour arrangements, accommodation and food were good and definitely 5 stars for this tour operator.

Well organized, nice team of guide-drivers
I joined a shared tour to Masai Mara & Nakuru, where I happened to join a vehicle of the nicest/fun people. As a solo traveler it was nice to join a car that had in total 3 out of 7 solo travelers, which made the experience “shared” and enjoyable. We saw the big five with Nakuru visit, and learned few things about some of the animals.
Kelvin was a very nice and patient guide.
One recommendation for the tour description is to not mention the possibility of seeing the migration in the right season especially if the effort to make it happen is not there.
Overall good experience, I recommend the company for solo travelers like me

Unforgettable experience
What a wonderful journey! We were picked up from the airport by our warm and knowledgeable driver Aminiel and taken on the trip of a lifetime! We saw all the animals we wanted to see even the rare black rhino even if they didn't want to be seen.
The staff at all the stays included in our package were incredible and so much fun. Highly recommend this to anyone.

Seamless, personal and unforgettable from start to finish!
Honestly, where do we even start?! From the minute we met Jimmy, he just didn’t feel like our safari guide… he felt like our wee 3rd wheel 😂
He was so easy going, friendly and genuinely just great company. He made the whole safari feel so relaxed and effortless, but at the same time, the excitement and adrenaline of what we were seeing was unreal.
His knowledge was absolutely incredible. I genuinely feel like I came home from Tanzania having learned SO much. Every animal we came across, Jimmy had something interesting to tell us, from their behaviour and habits to little facts we’d never have known ourselves. Sometimes he’d even quiz us on what we were seeing and what we’d learned, just to make sure we were actually taking it all in 😂 It became a bit of a laugh between us, but it also showed how much he genuinely cared about us getting the most out of the experience.
We also loved that he taught us some basic Swahili along the way, so we could at least attempt to be polite and say a few things ourselves 😂🇹🇿
And the biggest thing… we saw EVERYTHING we wanted to see, and then some. A lot of them up close, closer than we imagined 🦁🐘🦒🐆
Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti and Lake Manyara were all absolutely incredible in completely different ways. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
Jimmy is a complete asset to Platinumz Safari. We will genuinely recommend Platinum Safari to anyone looking at doing a Tanzania safari, but especially because of Jimmy. He made the whole experience what it was for us and we couldn’t be more grateful.
Our only regret is that we didn’t book it for longer!!
Thank you Jimmy, you absolute legend. We’ll never forget it ❤️🇹🇿

Great guides
Communication with customer service was rather slow. We had to take the initiative to ask and follow up repeatedly to get answers to many questions. For example, transfers to and from the airport were not proactively updated, which left us feeling worried at times.
Apart from that, everything was great. The safari vehicle was new and very clean. Best of all, we had an excellent guide, Martin! He was the highlight of our whole trip!

The guide was great, and the grassland was vast. Our safari in Kenya was amazing! The guide was knowledgeable and friendly. We saw lots of wild animals. The vast grassland scenery was breathtaking. Highly recommend this wonderful trip.

Unforgettable Honeymoon Safari in Kenya
We had such an amazing safari experience and honestly couldn’t have asked for a better tour operator or guide!
Everything was organized really well from beginning to end and we always felt taken care of. The itinerary was great, the drives went smoothly and the whole experience felt very easy and stress-free for us.
We were incredibly lucky and managed to see all of the Big Five! We also saw cheetahs twice, which was so special, as well as so many other beautiful animals including zebras, giraffes, hyenas, wildebeest, hippos, gazelles, antelopes, warthogs, baboons, ostriches and so many more. Every game drive felt completely different and there was always something new to see.
A huge part of what made the trip so special was our guide, Kelvin Ngamia. He was honestly so much more than just a driver. He was our guide, wildlife spotter, adviser, storyteller, photographer and basically our go-to person for everything during the safari. He had so much knowledge about the animals and the parks and was always happy to answer our endless questions.
He was also incredibly patient and always made an effort to get us into the best possible position to see the animals and take photos and videos. He knew when to wait, where to look and how to make every game drive exciting. We always felt safe and comfortable with him and he was such a kind and easy person to spend the long drives with.
This safari was part of our honeymoon and it ended up being one of the most unforgettable experiences. Seeing so much wildlife in the Maasai Mara and Amboseli was already a dream, but having such a great guide made it even better.
Highly recommend!!
