The tour operator is professional, thorough and well organized.
My lady and I took the tour called: "11-Days Kenya and Tanzania Wildlife Budget Safari" in November, 2023. The services provided were fantastic, especially for such a low-priced adventure. The price was far below anything else that I found in my on-line searching! We had so many animal encounters in both countries. The best three safaris in my opinion were: Masai Mara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. In total, we photographed about 25 different wild animal species. Fiona, our contact at Tourist Line Safaris was very helpful in addressing any questions before and during our 11- day adventure. The accommodations were good considering the low cost options that we chose including tent camping in 3 locations in Tanzania. This is an excellent way to tour East Africa on a budget.

Recommended but read my review
I travelled in Kenya and Tanzania in September/October 2023. I booked my Safari with Tourist Line Safaris.
Tourist Line is basically a tourist agency and not a safari company per se. This I hadn't realised initially. My Safari was sort of adjusted to my wishes which I liked a lot. I was tied to more than one groups, changing drivers and/cars frequently. I met many people during my trip, and it turns out out that there are really a lot of agencies like Tourist Line who collaborate with 'freelance' drivers. This was a bit chaotic at times, but everything worked out fine. I would generally expect better organisation and updates/instructions throughout my trip. Things in Tanzania were more obscure than I would have wanted, something that other people that I met during my trip experienced as well.
Generally everything worked fine for everyone in Kenya, but since most agencies are based in Kenya, the organisation is taken over by other agencies in Tanzania. This again I was not aware of. In the end everything worked fine and I did get to do everything I wanted. Tourist Line was very supportive during my trip and we solved any issues that arose. They also made me the most budget-friendly offer for this trip. I would recommend this agency for a Safari in Kenya and Tanzania, but be aware of the above.

Would recommend!
Fiona and Lillian took care of me and my partner during this trip. We went to Kenya and Tanzania for a 10 day Safari tour. I think the National Parks we visited were AMAZING! We saw the big 5 in this trip and we were lucky to see a live hunt by lionesses and a live kill by hyenas. They are very accommodating and responsive and checked up on us throughout our trip. They were also open to suggestions and they really listen and put action what could be better. Our driver Eric was so nice and very knowledgeable. Super professional and patient. Saw 4 out of the 5 “big 5” with him. I’m very happy I booked with touristline safaris. Thank you so much!

Wonderful experience
We took 10 days of safaris which was perfect given the diversity of landscapes from one park to another!
Lots of animals and felines, both in Kenya and Tanzania.
We had a great driver in Kenya (Martin) who made the trip and the hours in the car that much more enjoyable.
Our trip manager, Fiona, was very responsive when we needed her.
Thank you for all these beautiful memories!

The best experience of my life!
None of this would have been possible if I hadn't found Tourist Line Safaris and Fiona.
We start by carrying out detailed planning in partnership with an agency, 6 months in advance. We were informed of all the steps, we immediately had access to the hotels and itineraries and what was and was not included in the proposal.
Fiona immediately made her phone number available and everything was coordinated via WhatsApp easily and without problems.
Our safari was with 3 friends, between 29/9 and 4/6. When we arrived in Nairobi, we already had the driver waiting to take us to the office to finalize the payment and answer our questions.
Having said that, we went to have breakfast and meet our guide and other vehicle companions, as we chose to do the safari in a vehicle with up to 7 people.
We know Kennedy, or Ken, as we affectionately call him. He was the best guide ever. He was always available for all our doubts and questions, always punctual and taking us to see this special country that was Kenya.
We started by visiting the Masai Mara natural reserve, where we stayed for 2 days, we went on to Naivasha, where we took a boat trip and a walk with wild animals right there just over 1 meter away. We headed to Lake Nakuro to see more species and finally ended up in Amboceli.
There was nothing that went less well. I will definitely come back and I will always recommend this service.

This is one of my our favorite things we have ever done.
I don’t even know where to begin. My wife and I love to travel and a safari has always been a dream of ours. Tourist Line Safaris made that dream come true. We chose the 10 day Kenya and Tanzania budget safari and couldn’t have been happier with the entire experience. Everything was very well organized, and they take care of everything from start to end. Pick up times, game drives, meals, lodging, the schedule was pretty much perfect. I saw a couple of reviews that made me hesitant about our trip, but I think it all comes down to expectations. We knew on a budget safari we would be camping most of the time, but to our surprise, a lot of the camp lodges were “glamping style” with beds and a toilet and shower in the massive tents. Electricity times were specified which some might not be use to, but we didn’t have any trouble navigating around that. We even stayed in a few hotels that we thought were pretty nice considering what we paid! The meals are basic but better than we anticipated. But with a safari, it all comes down to the game drives and WOW they did not disappoint. Our safari guide/driver Patrick (who is literally the best) gave us the experience of a lifetime. He did the absolute most to get us to some of the more rare animal sightings. We got to see a lion ripping apart a wildebeest corpse early in the morning, we got right next to a cheetah, some lion cubs, found 7 rhinos, and saw hundreds of giraffes and elephants almost every day. We also saw thousands of zebras, wildebeests, and gazelles. Kenya was definitely our favorite. The Serengeti in Tanzania was no disappoint though, the grasslands are simply incredible, and we finally got to see a leopard! The camping in Tanzania was typical tent style so just a little bit rougher than all of the other accommodations. But to do it in the middle of the Serengeti hearing animals all around us all night is something we will never forget. It takes a lot to organize all of this and we thought Tourist Line did a phenomenal job, especially with communicating. Any question I had for them they typically got back to me the same day. I can’t recommend them enough. I know they offer a bunch of different safaris and I’m sure any of them will be absolutely wonderful. You’re in great hands!

Excellent tour organizer!
Just finished a very enjoying tour with TLS, 7 days in Kenya + 6 days in Tanzania. If you have limited budget like me, TLS surely can help you; if you have mid-range or even luxury budget, TLS can also organize it. Personally I suggest sleeping in a lodge rather than tent camp in Masai Mara and Serengeti. Fiona is always very patient with my questions, informative, helpful and considerate. In a word, choose Tourist Line Safaris, they will never let you down!

Very accommodating and attentive!
Tourist Line Safaris did not disappoint. They were very accommodating to my specific safari request to make sure I had the perfect experience. Lilian was very attentive and was very helpful. My main guide was Patrick! He was amazing. He communicated well regarding itineraries and shared information about the locations and animals. Due to me having a special schedule, I stayed at the Masai Mara an extra day. I had Felix as my guide on this day. He was also great and helped us see the leopard! After meeting back up with my original group and Patrick, we continue to have a great time in Amboseli NP. The other travelers in my vehicle were fun to chat with and I made some new friends! I booked a last minute half day safari at Nairobi NP before my flight back home and Lilian was quick to make it happen. I couldn’t be more pleased with the price, services, and locations. Definitely will be booking with Tourist Line Safaris in the future. Can’t wait to come back to Kenya!
