The best! Organization, driver, stays, cars, animals, food, schedule - all perfect!
Our safary with Australkin was fantastic!
Zippy takes care of everything, pays attention to every small detail. Easy friendly communication (feels that she is online 24/7, responding in 1-2 minutes any time).
Wonderful choice of places to stay, great driver (finding the right spot, the right time, with some stories about animals), almost new reliable toyota 4x4, intense and interesting schedule for every day. Not a single issue to complaint about.
That was the best organization of the trip I've ever met (I've been in 60 countries, some of them visited many times - so I have experience to compare).
Thanks Zippy for unforgettable experience!

Outstanding in all ways
We did Astralken's 18 day budget safari for two people. The wide range of locations from the North to the Tanzania border allowed us to experience a broader range of Eco systems, animals, cultures and topography. It included less visited locations while still visiting the more famous parks. Did you know that there are zebras and giraffes in the north with different markings than those in other parts of Kenya? We visited Riff lakes, waterfalls, rivers with hippos and crocodiles, watched hippos coming on shore after dark to eat, from our veranda and saw an incredible range of animals. A high point was visiting a group of nomads in the North who build no shelters and speak no Swahili.
What really made this trip so fantastic were the Australken people.

Zippy managed all communication before and during the trip responding quickly and following up almost daily asking for our feedback. Of course she set the fantastic itinerary with unique places and experiences that made the trip. She met us at the airport when we arrived and took us to the airport when we left.
Moses was our guide and driver. He was a calm and very safe driver in a land of dangerous drivers and roads! He was an uncanny wildlife spotter with full knowledge of the local habitats and animals in each of the diverse areas we visited. He enjoyed every day of the trip, always up.
John was our cook providing good meals. He was always upbeat, quick to laugh (even at my jokes) and added to our trip in so many ways.
Moses and John made this a very happy experience, beyond just a standard game drive. We were all sad when they dropped us at the hotel at the end of the trip.
We can't imagine having a better safari than we experienced with Zippy and Australken!
PS: WE are in our upper 70s and had no problems, you can do it too!

Thanks, Australken, for a wonderful 16 days
This is the third time that we arranged a Kenya safari with Zippy at Australken, and traveled with Symon as our friend, guide and wildlife guru. Our group of 10 friends from the US had two Land Cruisers, driven by Symon and Martin, both of whom can spot completely camouflaged animals at a great distance, interpret their intentions and behaviors, and name each and every species. The photographic opportunities were outstanding - we toured through Tsavo East & West, Amboseli, Lake Nakuru and Maasai Mara. Lodges were outstanding with excellent buffet food - and at Osero Lodge in Maasai Mara we were treated to a gourmet experience by Chef Godfrey. If we could give ten starts to Zippy, Symon, Martin (and Agnes & Godfrey at Osero), we would!
I strongly recommend Australken to photographers who are technically experienced, but require the support, flexibility and wildlife knowledge for safari success.
