An amazing experience; real value for money.
4/5

I am definitely grateful that I chose to go with Travel for Change Africa on my Amboseli Safari last January. My visitors and I have all the good things to say about the experience from the first inquiry, through to the bookings and the safari itself. The staff were well on time and knew exactly what would make us happy. They have considerate drivers and vehicles well and truly suited for Kenyan roads. They made us feel safe at all times on the roads and in the parks; a great peace of mind. I look forward to choosing Travel for Change Africa on my next Safari trip to Kenya.

Very nice Safari in Masai Mara!
4/5

Me and my family we went to Masai Mara for 3 days, 2 nights. We didn't have much time and no large budget so we asked Travel for Change for advice. They suggested to go to Masai Mara because you can see many animals in a short period of time. We had a great time!
We stayed in Loyk camp in northern mara and the camp was very nice. We slept in a canvas tent but in a very nice bed and waking up among the animal sounds is lovely.
The drive through mara was a bit long in our safari van because the road is very bad, but our van was strong and the driver was friendly. It also turned out later that our driver had a lot of knowledge about the wild life as well. That was really nice. Also a big plus for us was that a friendly lady from Travel for Change came and see us when we were in Nairobi and were to meet our driver. That was a comforting start of our yourney.
As for the animals we are aware that you have to have some luck sometimes but we felt we really saw a lot of different animals. Lions, Wildebeast, Giraffe's, Bufffalo's and many other. All in all we were surprised that we could have such a lovely safari with such a tight budget.

An amazing first Safari experience
4/5

First, my Travel for Change contact, Patricia was able to get me into a van only a week in advance. I was volunteering for a small NGO in Ngong Hills for the month and she accommodated my last minute request beautifully. I loved our driver, who had a great sense of humor and an incredible amount of patience. As I found out, when taking safari in rainy season, anything can happen, and he was resourceful, cognizant of our short trip and did everything he could to deal with the bad roads due to rain. On the way to the Mara, when approaching a 3 vehicle situation where all were stuck trying to cross a very low, washed out bridge, he called ahead to someone at Masai Mara to come pick us up, (us 6 passengers) and take us for the evening ride through Masai Mara. At the time the 6 of us were walking around the bridge area, there were still about 6 vans waiting to get across. So, our driver was intuitive enough to make sure we got out, took the evening ride and he picked us up later to take us all to our respective accommodations. (We found out the next day that the other safari-goers were not so lucky to have a resourceful driver.)

Our driver shared all that he knew with us about the animals...as we all asked so many questions. He also pointed out the safety issues of being in such close proximity to wild animals and kept us within a safe distance at all times. At one point we saw a van with tourists very close to a rhino and he reiterated that he would not take us that close to a rhino due to their dangerous potential. All of us appreciated his safety sensibilities for our health & welfare. The rides both days were magnificent, gorgeous blue skies and unparalleled sunsets.

I truly enjoyed the tent facility, Sidai hotels and camps where I stayed. It was quiet, peaceful and we were met at check-in with hot face towels to take the grime off from many hours of travel. What a treat! The Masai men who ran the camp told us they patrolled all night to make sure we were safe. The food was excellent and the chef took us outside after breakfast one morning to show us a baboon about 40 feet away!

It was by far one of the grandest experiences I've ever had. The accommodations for were wonderful, the driver was fantastic and the Masai Mara was magnificent. Thank you Travel for Change Africa!

Best deal ever!
4/5

I was a bit skeptical at first about traveling with an agency I had never used before but from the moment I landed in Kenya, I knew I had made the right choice. Everything went super smoothly and I felt a bit nostalgic leaving a week later. I was meant to write this just after my trip but work happened! Thank you, Travel for Change. I hope to use your services again soon.
