14-Day Kenya Masai Mara /Amboseli/Samburu/Aberdare/Tsavo
5/5

We are a group of 4 friends taking the 14 days private safari, and had a wonderful time. The communication with John was prompt and full of useful and accurate information. Our guide Lawrence impressed us throughout the whole journey with his excellent spirit.

We chose to upgrade our lodges at Amboseli and Masai Mara. Looking back, we should have probably picked a different lodge inside the Amboseli park, so we don't have to rush out of the park before it's getting dark.

We will be more than happy to do business with APS again, probably during the migration season and to cover Tanzania the next time.

Holiday of a lifetime and made even better by African Paradise Safaris!
5/5

Our 9 day private safari tour of Kenya and Tanzania visiting the Masai Mara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Amboseli was unbelievable and organized so well thanks to John Peter of African Paradise Safaris. John was excellent at communicating by email and WhatsApp, he was very accommodating when organizing the tour and made any adjustments that we wanted to the itinerary. The payment terms were also convenient and was the best value across multiple tour operators.
When we landed in Nairobi, our baggage unfortunately was left behind by the airline. This could have easily ruined our holiday, but John and his team were there to ensure we got our baggage quickly. They spoke with the airline and once our baggage arrived in Kenya, they organized it to be delivered to us at a town near the Mara. Davido, our guide in Kenya, was extra helpful in driving to a town which was completely out of the way to ensure we were able to pick up our baggage and continue on the tour.
The safaris were an experience of a lifetime! Davido and Joseph (our guide in Tanzania) were very knowledgeable about the animals, the culture and made our experience so much better. We saw the Big Five along with so many other animals, and were able to take unbelievable pictures. There was a lot of driving involved between the locations but Davido and Joseph were excellent at keeping us entertained and educated during our drives.
The lodges recommended by APS were very good with great food, hospitality and all being at brilliant locations.
I would definitely recommend African Paradise Safaris and will be using them again the next time we visit!
Thank you John, Davido and Joseph for an unforgettable experience!

Amazing
5/5

Highly recommended! We enjoyed every second of our six days private safari. Our driver, Jackson, went above and beyond. He has extensive knowledge of the parks and the animals that roam there. Thanks to his efforts and driving skills, we’ve seen the big five! We will remember our time with him fondly.
We also have to thank John, the person responsible for organising our safari. He prepared an incredibly structured and scheduled tour that fit our budget and needs perfectly. You can’t go wrong with choosing their tour! Thank you both for everything!

Excellent overall
5/5

Excellent safari overall, had a great driver, saw a brilliant variety of animals and the accommodation was overall not too bad. One down side was there was a lot of driving overall, day three particularly, once you've visited the Masai is basically all driving. However, overall you will not find better for this kind of money.

Excellent Safari Trip
5/5

We had our first ever Safari trip to Kenya between August 31 and Sept 8. African Paradise Safaris hosted our trip and made it unforgettable. John of APS was reachable by email and WhatsApp. He was very flexible with the itinerary and offered good payment terms and conditions, which made us decide to go with APS. Whenever we had request, he would say NO PROBLEM and accommodate.

We had an excellent guide, Joseph, who is attentive and thoughtful. His explanation of wild animals made this trip a learning opportunity. His driving skill was amazing and made each game drive not only safe but exciting. Joseph also helped other drivers when their vehicles were got in trouble. We saw all of Big Five multiple times during this trip, which made our trip unforgettable.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
5/5

We did the 10-day safari between Kenya and Tanzania with African Paradise Safari. Totally recommended. We did a group safari, which made the price of the safari much cheaper and we always went with a driver from the moment we started in Kenya until our last day in Tanzania when they dropped us off at the airport. Being a group safari you also have to adapt a little to the rest, so the itinerary may change a little although you end up seeing the same parks, the only thing that is the same in a different order. In Kenya the accommodation is much better than in Tanzania (I would recommend asking exactly where it is each night and with what amenities to know in advance). Communication with John Peter has been excellent, resolving all the doubts we had. At the time of paying we made a payment at the beginning and then they accepted cash in Nairobi (they also accepted euros, which if you are traveling from Europe is good for you so you don't have to change currency). All in all, a very positive experience with African Paradise Safari, I would recommend doing the Safari with them.

Memorable Tanzania and Kenya trip
5/5

African Paradise Safari is reliable and flexible company. They helped us to design personal tour and provided valuable advice. Upon our first day arrival, they gave each one of us warm welcome gifts - a big bunch of rose and hoodies & sweetshirts . According the local custom, roses represent joy and friendship. Surprisingly, they held a safari party for us at one evening time. We were enjoying the wine and watching the sunset with giraffe, elephants and all other animals surrounding us. John, the tour diver in Kenya, is very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Joseph, tour driver in Tanzania,is also accommodating and friendly. They both explained us animal name and habits details, patiently stoped many scenic spots per our request and helped us cross the border between Tanzania and Kenya smoothly. The company has good communication. They responded our every single question quickly. Best of all is that we saw Wildebeest Migration several times. Last day we would like to visit Nairobi NP which is not included in our tour package. John the boss offered us for free. APS is one of most experienced and trustworthy company, is strongly recommended.

Excellent. I went on a private 12 safari. I would recommend staying in the park.
5/5

My sister and I picked 5 national parks and resorts in the parks. This is very important to save time and maximize longer drives on your safari outings. We saw so many lions, approximately 100, cheetahs and cubs, leopards, rhino and the great wilderbeest migration! Our driver Lawrence was very accommodating and wanted to please us.
