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

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

14 Day Kenya Wildlife Adventure Private Tour
My partner and I booked a private safari with APS for the 14 Day Kenya Wildlife Adventure which saw us visiting the following parks Tsavo East x2, Amboseli x2, Aberdare x1, Samburu x2, Lake Nakuru x1, Maasai Mara x3, Lake Naivasha x1 as well as a night in Nairobi. We organised everything through John Peter who responded patiently to all of my questions (and I asked a lot!), modifying the itinerary to our needs and while we were in Kenya, helping us to locate our taxi driver and upgrading one of the rooms in the Maasai Mara which we really appreciated! Our guide/driver was Lawrence and he was incredible, getting us close to all the animals, always on the radio to let others know what we had found and getting good information back. Aside from black rhinos, there was nothing that we didn’t see from all the main animals, we saw everything multiple times and every time it blew our minds completely. Every park had its own unique characteristics and nothing was the same. All of the park rangers were so friendly and knowledgable, as well as all of the boat operators and guides. It was so hard saying goodbye. All of the rooms and facilities in our accomodation were beyond what we expected and the food alone is a reason to return, we were spoiled! Our van did break down a few times during the trip which unfortunately meant some of our plans changed, however this was out of Lawrence’s hands and led to some great experiences that wouldn’t have happened otherwise. We will cherish this trip forever and thank APS so much for providing us with such an amazing experience in Kenya!
