Excellent itinerary to provide an incredible experience
When I started to plan our trip to Kenya, I quickly realized that I was out of my depth. So many options, so hard to decide where to stay (it is not the amenities, but where the lodges are located which we now know can provide a completely different experience). A friend of mine recommended East Africa Wild Adventures and from our first phone call I realized that Alym listened and wanted to know what type of trip we were looking for to tailor the experience to our tastes.
The interactions were excellent and he quickly put an itinerary together that was fabulous in paper and really awesome when we actually did it! Absolutely mind blowing! We saw so many different things and every location and lodge had something unique that differentiated it from the other lodges.
We slept at the roar of a lion in a place without walls (creepy but exhilarating as we felt completely safe throughout our journey) sharing full days with the Maasai community in an experience that will be with us for life, we heard hippos literally outside our tent and got asleep to the grunt to wildebeest pasturing outside our tent in Maasai Mara.
The drivers/guides were excellent and eager to show us what real Kenya is! Very important when you are sharing so many days together. We developed a friendship and we will remember them forever.
I strongly recommend this company: they are knowledgeable, always available and you can feel your money was well spent!

Alym organised a perfect private safari for me
I've contacted Alym from East Africa Wild Adventures with request for private custom made safari just 1 week in advance. He's organized everything in just 3 days and the result satisfied of all of my demands. The safari itself was well organised, all activities were on time, my driver/guide Makau is perfect and I could recommend him to everyone. We did a lot of driving and visited lots of places in just 6 days per my request.

The only way to go
East Africa Wild Adventures is incredible to work with. There is quick response time, communication is excellent and attention to detail is impressive. We had a wonderful time on our safari and all the experiences exceeded expectations. Alym is easy to work with and very good at individualizing needs. I have some health issues and he was able to work with the lodges to make sure my needs were met. We were booked into incredible lodges and service was excellent. Everyone from East Africa Wild Adventures to the lodge cleaners offered exceptional service and showed flexibility to meet our needs and make our experience memorable. I highly recommend East Africa Wild Adventures for planning any experience in Africa. The company has a vast network and excellent knowledge of the areas and lodges they arrange for your holiday.

Expectations exceeded
My wife and I have been on a number of safaris in Kenya and Tanzania and wanted our families to share in the adventure and joy of this experience. With a party of 8, we soon agreed that we needed outside assistance to bring expertise and a sense of order to our plans for a family safari.
We were fortunate to hook up with Alym Bhanji from East Africa Wild Adventures. From the first contact, Alym sought to ensure that the safari package that we selected would meet all of our needs. He was sure to make plans for the two kids (8 and 11) in our group, and to make sure that the adults’ needs were met as well.
Following recommendation received from Alym, we ended up selecting a Sky Safari package that took us to three magnificent Elewana camps (Elsa’s Kopje; Loisaba; and Sand River Masai Mara). Alym made sure that every detail, from arrival to departure, was top-notch and taken care of.
My family had the experience of a lifetime and we owe much to Alym and his team at East Africa Wild Adventures.

A true, personalized, and attentive experience
My wife and I booked our honeymoon in Tanzania through East Africa Wild, amidst the pandemic and craziness happening in the world, and could not have been more satisfied.
Alym and his partners took very good care of us. They were always available to answer questions and help us feel comfortable, before and throughout our trip. The attentiveness to our concerns could not have been better.
We stayed 6 nights in Tanzania - one night in Arusha, one in Tarangire, two in the Serengeti, and one at the Ngorongoro crater. The hotel and lodges met or exceeded our expectations (especially Maramboi). Our driver was fun, friendly, patient, and very knowledgeable about the wildlife and vegetation. We saw everything: big 5, big cats, Rhinos, and more. The experiences were incredible!
Our itinerary was custom built and perfect for us. It considered everything from dates, lodges/camps, routes, expectations, and more; It was truly a personal experience. We then checked very similar itineraries against competitors (e.g. big name companies and local operators) and East Africa Wild provided better service and better value for money (before booking the trip). Now, after the honeymoon, we can also confidently say that we were NOT let down by the quality either. Our guide, our accommodation, our welcoming, our farewell, every detail, was met or exceeded expectations.
We highly recommend working with East Africa Wild to have your dream safari come true.
Finally, while in Tanzania, COVID-19 was among the least of our concerns. There is as much or more of a risk at home than any of the lodges or camps we stayed at.
Thanks Alym, Hasan, and the rest of the East Africa Wild team.

Excellent Service
We had a memorable Kenyan safari with the help of Alym at East Africa Wild. I had never been to this part of the world before and did not know where to start. We eliminated other tour companies on our list because we found Alym to be most prompt in responding, personable, and attentive to our requests. He set us up with a private driver, Baraza, who was an excellent, highly skilled guide throughout our time in the Masai Mara and Samburu. We felt safe and taken care of. We would highly recommend Baraza as a tour guide. All our accommodations were excellent. We were most impressed with Alym's response when our plane was delayed and our arrival into Nairobi was going to be significantly later than planned. We contacted Alym as soon as we knew we would not arrive on time. He assured us that he would contact his people and we would be well received no matter what time it was. We were relieved to find attendants waiting for us to escort us through the airport quickly. That set us off on a good foot despite the lack of sleep due to the flight delay. We would highly recommend Alym and East Africa Wild to anyone looking for a personalized safari.
Saw the Big Five and much more, plus excellent Cultural Tour
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.

Amazing experiences for a short trip!
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.

Reliable and efficient safari tour company
This tour company was excellent in all accounts! They took me to Zanzibar and some of the main parks in Tanzania: Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara and Arusha. Efficient, prompt and smooth communications, first class quality service, totally lived up to my expectations of what my trip would look like. I definitely recommend it!
