Memorable moments at a fair budget
My safari adventures started in Tanzania. It was nice to see how Martha and John went out of their way to accommodate our requests and needs; especially because we were limited of time, and I was a quite demanding guest. Very attentive to my messages and the planning.
They subcontract Seven Wonders for the safaris in Tanzania; and as an overall experience, I second Jitka's review and sentiment.
Tanzania: safari jeeps (more suitable for the bumpy roads); no glamping here, you will tough it out camping in camp tents and sleeping bags (just make sure they're clean and not smelly); there are cold nights, so, if visiting during dry season, wear in layers. We visited Serengeti and Ngoro-Ngoro Crater. Loved the crater! Saw 4 of the big 5!
Kenya: Better lunches and accommodation than in Tanzania. Maasai Mara was phenomenal! Our tour guide outdid himself in giving us the Big 5! I would recommend Go East Africa Safari aka/Big Time Safari. Great experience for the Budget-conscious traveler!

4 days Masaï Mara Lac Nakuru
An excellent agency that listens and serves their clients. I had a great experience starting with Marta who took the time to explain everything, to me to build confidence and also to help me with all the steps in Nairobi. Then James the driver is excellent, he has great experience as a safari pilot and his driving was great and not dangerous. From the first game we saw 3 of the 5 big fives and several other animals. It was wonderful. The second full day we saw all the animals. At the housing level the camp was clean and comfortable. Lake Nakuru was great we saw all the animals except the flamingos unfortunately. The hotel was very comfortable and clean. I recommend 200% the agency level quality / price it was perfect

highly recommended budget safari
Giving that they dont have many references, I was a little bit afraid of booking with Go East Africa. But there is no need for that!
1 - I exchanged so many emails with Martha prior booking. She is very sweet and helpful lady who took care of us very well.
2 - they gave us very fair price
3 - they provide good services
We decided to combine several safaris in one bundle:
1. Safari in Kenya
- Maasai Mara, Lake Naivasha, Crescent Island and Hells Gate
- traveled by safari van. In Maasai Mara, we slept in huge tents with beds and own bathroom. The rest, we spent in B&B
- food is OK, we always got some buffet where you could choose both, veg and nonveg. The picnic lunch includes some chicken, bread, egg, sweet drink, fruit, etc
- our driver/guide was very ambitious and always tried to steal the best viewing spot for us. We got to see the big five.
2. Safari in Tanzania
- we started in Arusha, proceeded to Tarangire, Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro
- traveled by jeeps for 8 ppl, these are even more comfortable then safari vans in Kenya
- we slept in tents - the classical tents for camping but do not worry, it is actually very comfortable and convenient. You get a mattress and sleeping bag. There is a shared bathroom with hot water. There is also a public pool in the garden
- the food was delicious. We had our own chef who was cooking for us the whole time. We always got many dishes to choose from.
Overall, very good experience and HIGHLY RECOMMENDED AGENCY
