Lovely Safari with Lovely People
We are a group of four girls who have just finished a four day safari covering Lake Manyara, Serengeti and then Ngorogoro Crater. We booked through Trip Advisor Africa Safaris and the company who brought us out was SandLand Tours. Ziggy was our driver and Fena was our chef! We had a fantastic time, ziggy could point out animals miles away and Fena fed us fantastically. There was zero hassle and when our car had a flat tire it was changed and we were on the road again in 20 minutes. Tents and car are not the most luxurious but we are students looking for a budget safari and it went beyond our expectations. 5/5 for value for money and 5/5 excellent service.

Everything as promised!
We had an amazing experience with Trip Advisor Africa Safaris. Seth has organized the trip so well. We travelled with Gibson, our tour guide for the trip. He did a wonderful job. We really appreciate his efforts in showing us all the big five so close. We felt food could have been better. Overall a great experience!

We had an overall great experience
We did a 12 day circuit round Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, Masai Mara, Serengeti, the crater, Tarangire and Amboseli.
What made this trip were our two drivers, Eric and Godlove who were simply excellent.
Our accommodation on the whole was excellent although several changes were made to our itinerary. However, this generally worked out well.
We were met at the airport and our transfers across the border were smooth.
Having been slightly sceptical of using a non- UK based operator I am glad that we did.

4 day (Manyara Lake, Serengeti, Ngorongoro) standard tented safari
We were on safari 14-17.09.2017 in a group of 7 people. The general organisation of safari was good and met our expectations. Saw a lot of animals - guide was in touch with other cars and took care about quick reactions in case of animal appearance. Equipment was well preapred as well as food. special greatings for Eric (giude) and Mr Bean (cook).

An amazing well cared trip filled with professional service and value for money
Vincent was perfect in communication from the beginning. We were offered a good value for price. Right from the pick from airport till drop back to the airport, Vincent had made sure everything was well co ordinated. Even if some things were missed, like drinking water etc, they were arranged as soon as asked for. The camp is also very decent. I was not sure when I booked this trip as to what I should expect, but I was very pleased when we left the camp. It was an excellent trip and well taken care of. Food can be improved, but we cannot complain as may different nationalities are at the camp and its hard to please everyone. The camp can improve a bit on its looks and presentation, considering how nice the staff are. For 3 day trip, you dont have to worry, you are in good hands.

Excellent trip
Our trip (Seth Vincent company) was incredible. Amazing adventure with Tom, Morris, Simon and Califa. Everything well right and the company was really worried about the trip. Both drivers tried to find every kind of animal, and did it. Perhaps the cars should be replaced for better ones in a the future, but both Safari-van and Land Rover worked incredible. Totally recommended if you want to have a good trip for a reasonable price.

Excellent
oh yes, what a nice trip from start to the end, our trip was awesome. our safari travel agent managed to put together a wonderful 17 days schedule for us, it was a trip of lifetime thanks to SETH VINCENT and this safari tour company. He literally mapped out and helped us plan a trip that checked out everything we wanted to do. Every flight and ground transport was scheduled and spot on. In conclusion, all my tour needs were amicably solved by this company, its simply the best.

The Trip of A Lifetime at Excellent Value
There are two Africas: one where Westerners see exotic wild animals in
safari parks, explore natural wonders and natural beauty, are waited on
in resorts with gourmet meals. The other Africa is the real Africa, of
everyday people striving to survive, of farmers and herdsmen, of
students off to class, of arguing politics in roadside bars over a
Tusker, of motorcycles and diesel trucks, of delays and happy surprises.
Trip Advisor Africa Safaris is the best way to see both Africas. The
Africa of television and movies and novels, and the Africa of the people
who live there.
For years my wife and I wanted to visit East Africa, and after some
research and comparisons of itineraries and cost,Trip Advisor Africa
Safaris won out for a 16-day trip covering Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania.
Our trip covered a majority of the parks allowing us to see the Big Five
(including the elusive Black Rhino!), the Big Seven, Southern White
Rhino, birds galore, and a trek into the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest to
view Gorilla's at close range. All-in-all, they delivered a
unforgettable trip.
The key difference between Trip Advisor Africa Safaris and other tours
is that we traveled by land, stopping in towns and cities along the way,
not just seeing animals, but observing Africans in their day-to-day
activities and understanding their way of life. Other safaris whisk
visitors across the country from park-to-park in bush planes and wind up
seeing little of what lies between. Those safaris seem just an expensive
visit to the zoo. I have great memories of this trip, many of the
animals, but many more of the people and places we saw along the way.
Our drivers were fantastic, Jack ,Kim , and Fredrick felt like close
friends by trips end. They made sure we were taken care of and safe.
Mindful of everything from finding a secluded grassy spot to go to the
washroom, to not taking pictures of the power plant or they'll take your
camera, to earning a red banana for every rare animal you spot. The
drivers were knowledgeable and kind and always looking out for our best
interest. My sincerest thanks to them all!
Our sincerest thanks as well to Nairobi office under the boss Seth
Vincent, for arranging the trip, providing wonderful drivers, and
getting us around the region and back to the airport early for our
flight home!
Lastly, A few small logistics and items of note. Trip Advisor Africa
Safaris, provided a mix of accommodation types varying from tented
camps, to local hotels, to five star resorts. Meals were provided, but
drinks were extra. Tipping is an art all its own, so make sure you
research what to give to who and when. Their tours can be customized
depending on your interests, preferred accommodation, etc. You need to
book in advance if you want to go gorilla trekking as the permits are
limited and go quickly.
