African Flowers Adventures

Amazing safari!

We had a truly amazing safari!
Melvin helped us with the booking and everything beforehand. He was always very helpful and quick to respond and also checked in on us every day during the safari.

The trip started a little unfortunate, as there were some problems with the car and we had to wait 1.5 hours before starting the safari. Also, the binocular was missing from the car on the first day. However, apart from these issues, we had four amazing safari days and the binocular was brought on the second day. We saw lots of animals and all the lodges were very nice.
Our guide, Musa is a wonderful person and we had many great conversations with him. He made sure we saw all of the Big Five and really tried to give us the best possible experience and find as many animals as possible.
During the safari, I think it would have been nice to communicate a little more about the daily plans and whether we wanted to stop for more pictures or spend a bit more time at certain sightings. Other than that, everything was really great.

We even got to see part of the Great Migration in the northern Serengeti! It was amazing to witness, but also a little shocking to see how much some of the cars and guides stressed the animals and raced around to get the best spots. Some cars even crossed the area where the animals were running up from the river. Our guide handled the situation quite well, but I really hope the park authorities will enforce the rules and restrictions more strictly. It was wonderful to see the migration, but people should also be aware that it is a long drive to the northern Serengeti, and there may not be much wildlife to see in the area if the migration is not happening there. There can be a lot of waiting, as well as considerable stress caused by the number of vehicles and the way some drivers behave. Especially during high season, I would think twice about whether visiting the northern Serengeti is really the most ethical choice, given the number of cars and the reckless driving we witnessed.
However, this criticism is directed at the park authorities and the way the migration is managed, not at the safari company itself.

The last day was also very nice. We visited a waterfall and a coffee plantation and especially the coffee experience with the locals was amazing.

However, the absolute highlight was definitely the safari itself and especially the night we spent inside the national park and waking up to giraffes in front of our lodge.

The hotel on the last day was not quite as good, especially the restaurant, but all the other accommodations were great.

Melvin even came to visit us on our last day to check in and hear about our experience. He really took good care of us and genuinely wanted to know how everything had gone.

It is a relatively new and smaller company, so there may still be a few little things to improve. However, they are clearly very open to feedback and you can really feel that listening to their customers and continuously improving is important to them.

They are already a great and trustworthy company and I am sure that with their dedication and attitude, they will only become even bigger and better in the future.

A big thank you to Melvin for taking such good care of us and, of course, to our amazing guide Musa, who made our safari such a memorable experience!

We would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for an unforgettable safari experience!
