Experienced and friendly guide, had a great time together
The Chinese sales staff provided excellent coordination. They followed up on our itinerary and arrangements every day.
The tour guide was very experienced and made us wait patiently, allowing us to capture great shots of animals.
During this safari, we got many close-up shots of wildlife. It was amazing.

Fantastic
I’m writing to express our heartfelt gratitude and appreciation for our guide, Albert, who made our safari experience truly unforgettable.
Albert was absolutely fantastic! He showed incredible patience and kindness, especially with our 5-year-old daughter. He took the time to engage her curiosity, sharing fascinating facts about the animals in a way that she could understand and enjoy. Thanks to him, we saw a side of Africa that we never could have imagined — his passion for wildlife and the natural world was evident in everything he did.
Beyond his wealth of knowledge about animals and the bush, Albert went above and beyond to take care of us. He was attentive to every detail, ensuring our comfort and safety throughout the trip. One particular moment that stood out was when he helped us locate luggage that had been mistakenly left on a previous flight — his resourcefulness and willingness to assist were truly remarkable.
We were also touched to learn that Albert is making an effort to learn Chinese. It meant a lot to us and showed his genuine interest in connecting with guests from different cultures.
Our daughter grew so fond of Albert that before we left, she drew a picture for him as a small token of appreciation. It was her way of saying thank you for making this adventure so special for her.
Albert is not just a guide — he is a wonderful ambassador for your team and for the beauty of Africa. We feel so lucky to have had him with us on this trip.

To make your dream Safari journey a reality, I would highly recommend choosing Whistling Travel.
I booked this safari for the calving season well in advance, and the lovely coordinator kept sharing real-time updates and beautiful scenery photos with us long before the trip—every detail was thoughtfully covered! Communication was smooth and prompt whenever we had questions. The entire itinerary was perfectly planned, and focusing on Tanzania turned out to be an excellent decision!!
Our guide in Kenya was Kennedy. Though he seemed young, he was incredibly experienced and patient when it came to tracking animals. On the very first day, we spotted tons of wildlife! He knew we wanted to see elephants crossing the road, so he positioned us perfectly for the best view—the elephants felt so close we could almost touch them! Before crossing the border, we even enjoyed a game drive through Amboseli.
In Tanzania, we were guided by Didas. Though quiet, he had his own safari style and always reminded us that patience is the key to a great safari. While other vehicles raced through the park, Didas kept a steady pace—and we were rewarded with continuous animal sightings! By the second and third day, we had already seen lion prides and leopards—so exciting! At Ngorongoro Crater, he spotted a rhino from 2–3 km away with the naked eye—to me it was just a tiny dot until I zoomed in with my camera. What an eagle eye!
By the final days, we had checked off almost everything on our wishlist: cheetah cubs, a hunt, another leopard sighting… Didas always got us the best viewing spots every time. Absolutely unbeatable!
I’m truly thrilled with how this trip turned out and so glad I chose Whistling Travel. If I ever return to Africa, I’ll definitely book with them again!

A perfect and surprising trip!
We visited three places: Ngorongoro Crater, Central Serengeti, and Ndutu. Each place was unique. The crater was a microcosm of the world, boasting a diverse array of animals within a small area, offering a unique geographical and cultural experience. In Central Serengeti, we were particularly impressed by our encounter with a large pride of lions, including two males, three females, and 30 cubs! In Ndutu, we had several close encounters with impalas, giraffes, elephants, leopards, and cheetahs… It was calving season, and we saw countless zebras and wildebeests on the plains. All of this was largely thanks to our guide, Michael, who was very professional and attentive to his needs. He even worked hard to learn Chinese to take care of us; he drove politely, never cutting in front of animals, and helped other vehicles stuck in the mud after a downpour. We had a wonderful time together!

lucky to meet our guide Michael
Our guide, Michael is a sunny and handsome big boy! It's the 6-day baby-giving season in Tanzania. I'm very lucky to meet him. He has led us to see a lot of unexpected Safari experiences with his professional Safari knowledge and superb driving skills. To be honest, it is said that Leopard is difficult to meet. We have met him three times! And in the best location and in different weathers, we saw it up and down the tree; in Serengeti, Mike took us to see the scene of the Lion King family and more than 30 lion cubs playing together; we saw the very cherished black rhinos and the fox, and saw more than 70 well-known animals throughout the whole process; Michael took us to see the paradise depicted in Perth's famous painting Paradise Lost, in reality! He is also a very kind, fraternity and patient guide! In the heavy rain, he took the initiative to help the driver who was trapped in the mud to tow and patiently helped me find the lost power bank! Thanks, Michael!if we come to Tanzania next time, shall we agree to experience Safari together?

Wonderful,be trusted
Whistling Travel provided us with a wonderful trip, allowing us to meet many beautiful animals and birds, and witness the vastness and wildness of Africa. Many thanks to Alex for his meticulous pre-trip instructions and to our excellent guide, Michanel. Special thanks to Michanel for his professionalism, enthusiasm, thoughtfulness, fun, and eagerness to learn, which made our trip incredibly rewarding and joyful. He meticulously planned each day's itinerary, leading us to find Tanzania's adorable animals while also diligently learning Chinese to better serve more Chinese-speaking tourists. Michanel is not only an excellent guide; he loves Africa, knows the habits of every animal on the grasslands, and is actively promoting Tanzania. Good luck to him! Good luck to Tanzania!

Enthusiastic and intelligent
Our guide, Gabriel, was very intelligent. My English isn't great, but his comprehension and expression skills were excellent, so communication was generally seamless. Every hotel recommended by our local guide exceeded our expectations; they were much cleaner and more comfortable than we imagined for Africa. We visited the Serengeti, Taranregi National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, and Ndutu, and none of them were disappointing! On our last day, we took photos at the Animal Farm. Although online reviews were mixed, it was a great place for Chinese tourists and produced many beautiful photos.
