Saw the Big Five and much more, plus excellent Cultural Tour
5/5

For the Safari we had an educated Masai guide with a natural feel for finding wildlife. Our Land Rover was superior to the other off road vehicles we saw. Accommodations were excellent. The wildlife viewings exceeded my expectations. The Tanzania adventure was tailor made for my wife and me. It included a cultural tour of 5 days with excellent local guides and a great deal of walking. On the list of attractions were farms, schools, medical clinics, an orphanage, and home hospitality with meals. The whole package seemed to me cost effective and flawlessly coordinated. I highly recommend East Africa Wild.

Perfect Safari!
5/5

I had been on a safari before and was pleasantly surprised by how many rare animals we saw and the quality of the game parks we visited on this specific trip. The guides were friendly and worked hard to make sure we saw all the animals on our group's list. The lodges were fantastic and the itinerary was the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation. I would definitely book East Africa Wild Adventures again!

A Serengeti Adventure that was a dream come true.
5/5

We toured the Serengeti over 3 full days of game driving. Every aspect of the trip was well planned and as described. Communications with East Africa Wild Adventures were excellent and they designed our itinerary 100% around our schedule. We will return to East Africa and when we do we will book our Safari with East Africa Wild Adventures again. Thank you for making our trip so seamless, comfortable and safe.

Kilimanjaro Machame Route
5/5

Everything arranged for us, the Kili climb, hotel (AMEG Lodge), transfers, etc. were fantastic. Everyone we encountered was true to their word, well organized, friendly and professional. On the mountain, equipment was good (dry tents), food was outstanding (all things considered), and porters carried no more than 20kg. Our guide, although a bit firm in his ways, was knowledgable, spoke english very well, and above all, knew the correct pace to walk at to get us safely to the top without being too slow or jeopardizing our summit. The assistant guide was young, fun, and energetic which made for entertaining conversation along the way. Overall extremely organized and we were stoked to make it to Uhuru (the tallest point). We owe this all to the team, East Africa Wild, and especially Alym who organized it all! Thanks again, Alym!

Amazing experiences for a short trip!
5/5

East Africa Wild Adventures coordinated our Safari as part of a visit to Kenya for a wedding. We only had 4 days to spend before making our way to the final destination and were on a budget. They helped make sure we saw a tremendous amount in that time. We visited Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha and Masai Mara. Each offered their own varied experience of wildlife and surroundings. Our tour operators were friendly, knowledgeable, and always on time. The accommodations were clean, comfortable, and well maintained. East Africa Wild was great to work with. They gave us a number of options and helped determine what was best for our group. That really set the experience apart.

The most exciting, exhilarating and beautiful experience - already planning my next trip!
5/5

I went into the Safari not knowing a single detail about the schedule, transport or lodges thought the duration of the trip. I didn't even know what parks or places we were visiting. I had heard so many good things prior to the trip and was with a group of family and friends that I wasn't too concerned. Having said that, I was pleasantly surprised and extremely impressed with the level of service and quality of the experience. It was beyond what I imagined in my wildest dreams. Hotel bookings were made for us. All meals were covered. Transport was safe and on time. The lodges were beyond beautiful ( I didn't want to leave). And most importantly, the ride through the various game parks was incredible. One would expect this, of course, because how could it not be when you are watching lions, elephants and wildebeest in their natural habitat. What enhanced this already beautiful experience, however, was the knowledge and professionalism of the guides. They scanned the parks and spotted out things for us to see. They provided an extremely safe drive, and taught us about the lay of the land. Without the guides, we wouldn't have seen the things we saw. They took us to the right places at the right times. They spotted leopards in trees and cheetahs!! Their expertise was uncanny. The car rides were full of laughter and fun as a result. The vehicles were clean, and the rides were smooth ( as can be). It was a seamless expereicne from start to finish. I never felt unsafe, nor unaccounted for. Questions were answered before they were asked. Thank you East Africa Wild Adventures for the trip of a lifetime.

This was an experience of a lifetime, surpassing all expectations.
5/5

This trip was an amazing introduction to all the beautiful country of Tanzania has to offer. Everything was wonderful: the guides were knowledgeable and friendly, the Land Cruisers comfortable and accommodating to the terrain, the Serena hotels were exquisite, built with cultural and environmental respect. The staff at the hotels were kind, efficient and helpful.
And the safari - oh the safari... It was a wonderland of all kinds of animals in their own environment - no cages, bars or, restrictions on their habitat. We saw it all: lions, zebras, elephants, hippos - all the animals I have seen on videos and movies about safaris. It was surreal seeing it in person and finding out all about the animals and their habitat from our friendly and knowledgeable guides.
Our leader, Alym, was enthusiastic about his tour, very visible, and checking in continuously to make sure all needs were. met. It was most important to him that we had a good time and we did! It is something not to be missed in this lifetime. I thought once would be enough but I am already thinking about my next safari. Thank you to Alym and East Africa Wild Adventures for an experience I will never ever forget.

Easy and true to description
5/5

This was my second safari in Eastern Africa and by far my favorite. Our safari guides were incredibly knowledgable, professional, and kind. The accomodations were all lovely and exactly as pictured. The best part was that East Africa Wild worked with us to ensure we had a trip that suited our budget while provided exposure to the varying game areas acrosss Kenya. Lake Nukuru was among my favorite. Booking was also simple and straight forward while no detail of the trip was overlooked. A very trustworthy and professional outfitter.

An amazing adventure in Kenya!
5/5

With such a short amount of time in the country, I was worried we wouldn’t be able to get the full breath of Kenya’s natural attractions. But East Africa Wild planned a flawless itinerary, allowing us to see every blockbuster animal and a variety of landscapes in just 5 days. Each camp we stayed at had its own personality and boutique feel. Our safari guide was competent and very knowledgeable. Overall it was an amazing adventure!

Expect the Unexpected
5/5

East Africa Wild Adventures was simply great. Very experienced, very informative, and wonderfully friendly.
I can't recommend them enough, and have been telling anyone I meet that is interested in a safari (which is almost everyone that I tell about my experience) that they should plan through East Africa Wild Adventures. From the moment we landed in Kenya, we felt absolutely comfortable, happy and taken care of.

I think when most people consider a safari, there are several stock romantic images that come to mind. Wild plains, lions lazing in the grass, certainly herds of various animals crossing your path, but like everything in life it was the unexpected things that truly made this safari a once in a lifetime experience. A wild buffalo bursting out of the grass being pursued by a pride of 20 lions (and escaping), a lion stalking a herd of wildebeasts and using your land rover as cover walking so close you could reach down and touch her, and driving through a migrating herd of zebras and wildebeasts numbering 2 MILLION animals. I have never seen anything like it, and expect I may never again.
