Great Family Safari trips in Kenya and Tanzania
5/5

Find Paradise on internet and send out request. Everything is very smooth from John's first email: reasonable price, well organized journey for 10 days five national parks, very experienced drivers, easy border crossing. He also arranged day trip for us in Nairobi; and multiple airport drop off for free. We are very happen with Paradise!

Epic 6 day safari
5/5

Well organized your that was reasonably priced. Organizing was easy and John peter very easy to deal with. No hidden costs. Accommodation varied in standard depending on location you were doing safari and how remote you were but was always satisfactory. Our guide John was very knowledgeable not only about wildlife but also about any questions ranging from culture to politics and many more. I have done many safaris throughout Africa and would rate him very highly. Vehicle 4 x 4 landcrusier well maintained and clean. No mechanical issues. Would highly recommend.

5/5

It was nice experience travelling with the support of APS Travel agency. They were very helpful in case we were stuck and they had given us the best options for hotels and places to visit in reasonable rates. If you want to travel they are the best option to opt for choosing best holiday package. Thanks APS for giving us this memorable trip. Keep up the good work.

Amazing trip into Amboseli, Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara NP
5/5

Our feedback is grouped into the following items:

The offer
In the process of defining the trip and incorporating our wishes you have proven to be very flexible and inventive to address any of our needs. They always responded swiftly, and never complained if we wanted to do things in another way. Communication on the offer was very clear. On top of that, their offer was slightly cheaper than that of the competition, which convinced us even more to make the trip with Paradise Safaris. I would safely recommend this organisation to my friends. They were even flexible payments by bank account, and gave a total refund for one person that unfortunately had to cancel one week in advance.

Driver
Our driver, Stanley, was very experienced and such nice guy! He never did any reckless manoeuvres and was very keen to keep us safe. He had a healthy drive to ensure that we got to see as much game as possible (even spotting two rhinos five minutes before we were delivered to the JKIA airport!) . When my brother got sick, he assisted to think of the best solution to deal with the new situation. He was always sharing interesting facts about the animal life, but we also talked about cultural differences, politics, climate and whatever. Furthermore, he was flexible if we made proposals to change the schedule. We had a great time with him and gave him a good tip for his services.
Accommodation: We asked for average luxury in accommodation, I think we got more luxury than we had hoped for. AA Lodge was very good, Ziwa game lodge at Nakuru was even excellent. The last lodge at Masai Mara (Jambo mara safari) was generally good, although we thought that the staff hospitality was a bit poor (they were certainly very friendly, but very distant and with some strange ways in how they approached us). Nevertheless we were very satisfied with all of them. Also the food was generally good. One tip: better not eat from any food that is not cooked or baked. We have a high suspicion on the coleslaw salad for making my brother sick…

Travel itinerary
They made a great effort to make the most of our 6 day journey. That is certainly a good thing, although we thought that the itinerary might also have given some time to relax a bit. We were constantly on the move and really tired at the end of each day. Especially day 3 was very exhausting, because of the long trip from Amboseli to Lake Nakuru. In retrospect, the visit to Amboseli -though certainly very beautiful- could have been left out, in that way we had much less travel distance and more time for relaxation. Again, this is not a complaint because we have enjoyed every minute of it!

Amazing trip
5/5

I visited Tanzania at the turn of the year, in Dec'20/Jan'21. Communication with John Peter throughout the booking process was excellent. I opted for a tailor-made itinerary, joining group departures and booking private tours for some sections of my trip.
In Arusha, I was met by my guide, Mr Godfray, who kept in touch during all my stay, offering assistance and answering all my questions. Godfray has done a great job making sure all goes smoothly.
I had an unforgettable vacation, bringing back memories of wildlife and beautiful landscapes.

Unforgettable Experience
5/5

We took 6 days Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli Joining Budget Safari Tour with John Peter's African Paradise Safari and it was a truly unforgettable experience. John Peter is very accommodating to our request, like when we asked for a switch of accommodation in Amboseli. He also provided us with a very good driver, Mr James Bond, who is the king of the road in Kenya. He can easily maneuver any sorts of difficult terrain. He is also very good at locating the animals, especially lions and cheetahs. Thank you John Peter and best of wishes to everyone at African Paradise Safari.

John Peter is an patient and professional tourism planner. We had a good time. The hotel arranged very well. Driver John is gentleman and experienced. We see a lot of wild animals everyday. We enjoyed our trip to Kenya. We'll come back to Kenya again next year. We'll also have the company arrange the travl for us.

14 Days Kenya Wildlife adventure
5/5

What an amazing adventure! From the beginning John Peter made the booking process very easy, with very swift responses to all our emails and questions. We had a day in Nairobi and were taken to the elephant and giraffe sanctuaries (where you can hand feed the giraffes), which were both well worth a visit. Our itinerary then took us to Tsavo East, Amboseli, Lake Naivasha, Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, The Ark and Samburu. The itinerary was well thought out and gave us a great variety of what Kenya has to offer. Each location was so different and we stayed in a variety of accommodation styles. We had two separate guides, both were friendly and extremely knowledgeable. Apart from the flora and fauna, we also learned a lot about Kenya's history. This was our second trip to Kenya (15 years apart) and we would definitely recommend booking a safari through African Paradise Safaris.
