Great adventure
5/5

An amazing experience. Our driver Joseph was very good - we saw almost everything (did not see a leopard,
but they can be very elusive, up in the trees) and he went out of his way to catch moments that were time critical. He really cared about showing us the best.

Driving alone was an experience, then seeing all the animals, combined with an interesting group of people, this safari was something that contributed greatly to making our trip to Kenya as the best we ever had.

The food was very good - basic but very well prepared with great quality ingredients. Especially near Kilimanjaro - some of the best food we had all trip/in recent memory! I say it’s gotta be the soil!

If you are citizen of Kenya it might be easier to get around, but what can’t be underestimated is the help your driver gives you. With Joseph all entries were seamless. If you go alone and don’t have e citizen or m-pesa, prepare to waste hours going around in circles.

Also being able to sit and not worry about driving is a great thing. Having self-driven four days before the safari, it’s fine, but needs attention - especially off-road in a light duty suv like we had. The converted Land Cruiser we had on the safari was inspiring in its off road capability, no doubt helped by Jospeh’s skill and experience.

Helped me find many animals, cheetahs, rhinos, elephants and many birds. I saw the beautiful Kilimanjaro and the starry sky.

Once in a life time. Fabulous experience.
5/5

The whole tour was just fantastic. Our tour guide Boniface was very nice and did his best to make it a memorable one. It was easy to communicate with Susan from Sunstrip Africa. She gave all the information I wanted and a good price too. We get to see Lake Naivasha as well.

Few things to highlight - The tour schedule kept changing since others in the group had finished the tour earlier so they had to be dropped to Nairobi which made the road trip very long and tiring. The van given had no AC so it was hot while going on long road trips.
Would have liked proper meals rather packaged ones.

Excellent safari.
5/5

A MEMORABLE SAFARI EXPERIENCE!!
They picked us up from the airport and arranged overnight accommodation for us in Nairobi. All in all they proved to be both competent and helpful.

The pick from the airport worked smoothly, a blessing after an all-night flight and we were delivered to a hotel in central Nairobi as agreed.

We were picked up in the morning for our camping safari, Catch the Big Five, to visit Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Samburu National parks, with camping accommodation (hotel at Nakuru).

It was a good time to visit, at the end of the migration in the Maasai Mara, with lots of zebra and wildebeest and hence lions and cheetahs. Lake Nakuru is very beautiful and would have repaid a longer visit, but even in a short time we saw the flamingos, rhinos and a leopard. The camp site at Samburu by the river and in the trees is particularly atmospheric, and we saw lots of elephants and giraffes.

The driver, Anthony was very good at finding animals and siting the vehicle for the best views, and our cook served up plentiful and appetizing meals. Camping may not be to everybody's taste, but the sites were well situated and quite adequate. To us they provided a more authentic African experience than the alternative of staying in a lodge (and much cheaper!) and a chance to see some small wild life at close quarters.

Excellent customer service and good value for tour!
5/5

My first time in Africa for a safari trip and Susan was very prompt and knowledgeable in her replies to my queries! 8d7n Masai Mara and Serengeti trip is highly recommend! Duration is just nice and it's the best of both worlds as you can visit both Kenya and Tanzania wildlife with a short hotel stay in between the camping :) Note that ngorongoro crater is kinda chilly at night so do bring along those portable silver thermal emergency blanket if u want to stay warm!

A well organised trip
5/5

The communication was top notch, from the moment I requested a quote until the end of the tour. All of my questions were answered clearly and in a timely manner.
I was picked up from my accommodation exactly on time and taken to their office to sort out payment and to meet the guide.
I had an amazing time at Mt Kenya. The guide was very knowledgeable taking time to tell me the names of the flora and fauna and some facts about each.
I would say the tour as a whole was very good value for money, from start to finish was excellent.

Amazing tour - great people and great value - 100% recommended
5/5

I was planning the tour remotely from the US and already had a great experience texting on WhatsApp.
Once in Kenya everything went as planned from pickup to the safari itself.
The drivers Robert and Moses were both amazing. We saw so many animals up close and had the chance to see 4 out of the big 5.
Game drives were long and adventurous.
The Jambo Mara lodge I can very much recommend. Amazing place.
All in all, a perfect safari
Thank you
