Patient and Professional
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
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.

Amazing safari experience and excellent value for money.
We had an incredible trip with APS. We were able to see all of the big 5 (and plenty more) on our 4 day safari to the Maasai Mara and Lake Nakuru. Communication from John Peter was great. He answered all of my questions much more quickly than the other tour operators that I was speaking with. Our guide, John, was knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. The accommodation they booked for us was comfortable and clean. Aside from all of this, it was also great value for money. It worked out to be about $50 cheaper per person than the other companies we were looking at. Definitely recommended.

Unforgettable Masai Mara safari with John, our first class guide
We signed up for a four day safari including two days in the Masai Mara, and a day in Nakuru National Park and Lake Naivasha. We were lucky enough to witness the start of the animal migration North from the Tanzanian Serengeti to the Kenyan Masai Mara. We saw thousands strong herds of wildebeest and zebra crossing rivers and the Savannah. Also lions, a jaguar, elephants, water buffalo (that's 4 of the big 5), Thompson's gazelles, grand gazelles, eland antelopes, topi antelopes, impala, giraffes, hippopotamuses, crocodiles, ostriches, warthogs, a jackal, mongoose, vultures, a fishing eagle, and all this on the second day alone. We later saw five white Rhinos including a few months old calf in Nakuru. This concentration of animals all in one place felt truly remarkable, like being in a BBC documentary. I can't rate our guide John highly enough. It was his expert knowledge that enabled us to be exactly where we needed to be at exactly the right time. And the cost? An absolute bargain!

Truely Exciting
Wow.
After much debating with my friends with which company to go on safari with, we finally decided to use APS.
And what a good choicevening we made.
We had a great time!!
What an experience throughout.
Thank you John (guide) for your eagerness to share and ensure we enjoyed our stay.

The Serengeti is worth every minute and Ngorongoro crater does not disappoint!
We loved our Tanzania tour! What an amazing experience and trip full of so much wildlife! I have been on safari in the Mara in Kenya and in Botswana and this was easily the best. The Serengeti did not disappoint; we saw four of the big five there and survived staying in our tented camp (which was really cool—and scary--to be so close to the animals). We ate lunch with giraffes one day and hippos another. Our guide Frank was very easy to get to know and incredibly knowledgable about the animal activity. We were also really impressed with Ngorongoro crater. It is amazing how many ecosystems are in such a close space. We were able to see rhino to round out the big five and even more of the wildlife that we’d seen before. We would recommend that you all put the amount of time spent in the car each day on the itinerary which would have helped us plan our flights a little bit better. Additionally, it was kind of confusing why the people we met directly never had the APS logo on their car or shirts; it worked out but just an area for improvement. The car was super comfortable and we always had plenty of water. On the way back to Arusha, we even got a remote shopping experience in a wood carving shop which was also really impressive. We would recommend Frank, Jacob, you and African Paradise Safaris to any and all. Thank you for a great holiday.

‘The safari experience was memorable!’ ‘Just spent the most amazing week on Safari with African Para
Well organised and the opportunity to see lots of different wildlife and scenery. Saw loads of lions, a leopard on day 1, cheetahs, chased by hippos, and the amazing migration which has to be seen to be believed. Special shout out to our guide Isa who was absolutely awesome. Nothing was too much trouble and he looked after us all so well and ensured we always got prime position for seeing all the animals. Would definitely do again and would insist on Isa as my guide!’

A Wonderful Trip!
My family booked a 10 day trip (6 days safari in Tanzania and 4 days in zanzibar) with African Paradise Safaris.
John Peter who served us throughout booking was not only extremely efficient in communicating but also answered all of our questions and catered for the fine details/requests of our trip. It was a pleasure working with John Peter to organise the trip. He also provided recommendations on places to stay if anyone requires this service, however we had done our own research and he was happy to accommodate the places we had chosen in our package. I had received quotes from a number of companies but some operators were unable to adhere to certain requests. African Paradise were able to offer us the best package inclusive of everything.
The trip itself was excellent, especially the safari. Our driver Frank was a good guide and knew the national parks inside out and where to look for certain game. Where he could improve is being more efficient, for example in driving...I'm not sure if there was a problem with his car but he seemed a little slower than other vehicles.
Otherwise there are not many areas I can think of where African Paradise can improve on their service. I did see many open vehicles on safari which looked really nice so maybe this could be an option in the future, even though the closed vehicles are more than adequate.
Overall, we had a great time and I would highly recommend using African Paradise Safaris.

The Tour was outstanding great Service
Personalized service – 10 day Kenya Wildlife tour and Mombasa beach holiday
I contacted John Peter of African Paradise safaris when I had 25 passengers from Pakistan travelling to Kenya; I had to accompany my clients to Kenya as a tour leader. John Peter responds promptly to all my inquiries. He had everything organized and ready for our clients. During our visit to Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha, Amboseli, Lake Nakuru and Mombasa beach all people were very nice. Every client went home satisfied and happy for the work well done. The cost was very competitive as compared to other the companies. The Safari Guides were very informative and patients. As you know organizing and making all travellers so happy and jovial in a big group is very difficult African Paradise Safaris did it. Thank you African Paradise Safaris and your team.
