Excellent 9 Day Kenya Safari with Nkonge
We had a wonderful safari with African Paradise Safaris!
From the beginning, when we were still shopping around, John Peter was very responsive and helpful with getting our itinerary put together. I never had to wait long for answers to any questions that I had, and he was able to put together a great itinerary for us, at a very competitive price.
When we arrived in Nairobi, we were greeted by our guide, John (Nkonge). He was very friendly, and got us to our hotel safely, while explaining a little bit about Nairobi.
The next day we began our 9 day journey with John, and what a wonderful time it was! We went to Amboseli, Lake Naivasha, Masai Mara, and Lake Nakuru. The entire time, Nkonge did everything in his power to make sure we were comfortable and having a good time. He was never intrusive, making sure to give us space and privacy, yet whenever we needed him for something, he was always available, or just seemed to be there. The main focus of the trip, of course, was the game drives, and Nkonge was determined to make sure we saw a good amount of wildlife. We saw 4 of the big five (no leopards, but we did see cheetahs), and we were thrilled with every sighting.
The vehicle was comfortable and felt safe. There was always bottled water for us in the van. We felt very safe, and well cared for the entire time, and we really enjoyed our time with Nkonge.
I would definitely recommend African Paradise Safaris!

Tanzania a trip of a lifetime. APS the Company and the People that ensure this is true.
We began the search for our African Adventure by browsing the wonderful website of Safari Bookings.
Thanks Safari Bookings for such a great resource.
Our "once in a lifetime" safari holiday to Tanzania started the moment we contacted African Paradise Safaris (APS). John Peter gave exceptional help and advice as we put together our trip, with his help we were able to customize our holiday so that it was the right fit for our party of 4. After best part of a year in planning and numerous enjoyable emails back and forth with John Peter, it was a little disappointing to realise we would not meet this man who had put together a fantastic itinerary for us.
Thanks Heaps John Peter.
We were met a Kilimanjaro airport by our driver / guide David. A better guide we couldn't have hoped for. His passion, care & knowledge for the wildlife - his "eagle eye" for spotting animals hidden to our inexpert eye - his personality and sense of humour and his attention to all the little details of our trip meant we had a safari experience way beyond our expectations. A very special man.
Thanks Heaps David....
And last a MASSIVE thank you to the most amazing animals for just being you...

The whole trip was perfect, with the Best driver ever, seen everything you want in Kenya. Thank you!
Hotels, stays were very good and well organized, food and service were perfect, the program was set up by ourselves&APS in advance. Our guide-driver, Issa was far the best we met. Good price and very good service. Masai Mara-Naivasha-Nakuru-Amboseli&beach in one program, the best ever. Thanks a lot!

Very good tour operator
We had a fantastic time on our 12-day safari in Kenya and Tanzania. Everything was completely well organized, the accommodations were amazing and the driver guides tried to show us as much as possible during the game drives and, if possible, to respond to our requests. We would always book again with African Paradise Safaris and we can recommend this company to anyone who also wants to do a safari tour.

Beyond my wildest dreams!
What can I say other than John Peter is the very best! I typically do not work through tour agents but I was traveling solo and was needing extra support given all the options. Working with John Peter and African Paradise Safaris was the wisest and best decision I ever made! John Peter always got back to me with a day and went above and beyond to help me connect the dots on all my travel questions and concerns. I felt like I had a true friend supporting me and answering all my questions and providing realistic options based on my budget. So grateful, and can't say enough about the wonderful communications and how they far exceeded my expectations.

Great trip with great service
Our 14 days Kenya-Tanzania Safari Tour organized by African Paradise Safaris was great and unforgettable!
The itinerary prepared by John Peter for our family trip is so completed. We did enjoy very much!
We had the best guides and drivers: Isa and Salomon. They took care of us and handled everything with care. They are very professional.
They are the ambassadors of Kenya and Tanzania.
Isa and Salomon know all the parks by memory, they brought us to see every animal. We saw National Geographic for real during the game drives.
We recommend their service to everyone!

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!’
