Our tour guide's vehicle was always spotless and tidy. He knew the road conditions, weather, and details of the attractions by heart, and carefully checked the itinerary each time. He made a point of searching for every animal in the park and enthusiastically introduced them, which made us, who came all the way from China, very satisfied. He sincerely said, "I'm showing you the sights, but more importantly, I want to ensure your safety." On the last day, he took us to our hotel and even watched us check in before leaving! Thumbs up to our kind and friendly tour guide!

Adhere to the itinerary and be responsible.

An unforgettable safari in Tanzania – amazing wildlife in Ndutu!
We had an incredible safari experience in Tanzania! The entire trip was very well organized and everything went smoothly. One of the highlights was visiting Ndutu, where we saw an amazing amount of wildlife — large herds of wildebeest and zebras, as well as lions and cheetahs. It was truly breathtaking.
Our guide Livin was extremely professional and knowledgeable. He was very patient and always managed to find animals for us, while also sharing interesting information about the wildlife and ecosystem. He made the whole safari experience even more enjoyable.
The itinerary was well paced — full of exciting moments but never rushed. Every day brought something new and memorable.
We are very grateful for this wonderful trip and would highly recommend this company to anyone planning a safari in East Africa.

a guide who was inattentive, dishonest, and only cared about money
Although our guide John might not be the absolute worst, I still want to write about some of the unpleasant experiences during our trip, both for your reference and in the hope that it will catch the attention of the tour operator's management.
1. Suspected Ticket Fraud:
· Our scheduled 3:30 PM – 6:30 PM safari on Day 1 was reduced to 30 mins.He took us to two overpriced souvenir shops. At the first, he disappeared; at the second, he pressured us to buy, saying it "helps the locals."
· Arrived late at the park gate ~5 PM, but he kept us waiting at the gate, claiming the "ticket system was down." We entered near 6 PM.
· We later learned that entry after 6 PM is free for guests staying inside the park. Our $100/person fee (included in the package) was likely pocketed. He refused to provide a receipt.
2. Poor Game-Spotting Skills:
· Spent more hours on common animals (giraffes, zebras) while other groups saw leopards and cheetah kills.
· Claimed he "discovered" a pride of 4 lions and bragged to every guide, then demanded $10/person tip for it. We gave $5, and he sulked afterwards.
· When we asked him to find the scene that the other group has already seen, he was very serious and told us not to give pressure on him.
3. Safety & Scary Incident (Nakuru transfer):
· Stopped on a roadside for a boxed lunch; a nail punctured the tire, according to his words, when parking aside, the nail punctured(I was doubtful). During fixing the tire, a mentally unstable local opened our car door, shouting aggressively. It was terrifying. John just told us to hold our valuables on the car. We are confused and scared and not dare to get off the car, though they are fixing the car.
4. Rushing & Dishonesty (Crescent Island):
· Gave us only 1 hour at Crescent Island, rushing us back for his own schedule (wanted to "wash the car" and meet friends).
· Later asked for Day 1's tip again, hoping we forgot. We paid for safety.
5. Tardiness & Lies (Amboseli transfer):
· Arrived 3 hours late, lying about "car repairs." Hotel staff helped us to urge him.
· "Compensated" us with a cheap fast-food meal, claiming it cost him $70. We checked the menu – it was about $15. At first, he said he will compensate 3 hours late, but finally he said he catched up with the safari 3:30pm, actually it was 3:40pm and haven't reach the Amboseli gate.Not a word was mentioned about the loss of out hotel rest and leisure time.
6. Final Day Greed:
· Rushed us through the market/supermarket (total 2 hrs).
· Demanded $20 for highway tolls (far exceeding actual cost). We paid the actual receipts.
· Dropped us far from the terminal.
I hope this feedback will make them reflect on the essence of doing business—it should be built on integrity, not on deceiving customers for short-term gains. As for the guide's misconduct(other frustrating details I won't mention more), much of it was obvious to us at the time; we simply chose not to confront him for the sake of our safety and a smooth trip.

Most amazing week in Kenya
Everything went perfectly smooth during our Safari trip. Our guide Peter is experienced and kind. He can remember all the roads in the national park and has never lost. The driving skills are also very good. I can feel that he takes good care of us and will not let the car be too upside down. If you have any questions or needs, you can communicate with him, and he will be enthusiastic to answer and arrange for us. In a week of getting along, we can feel his enthusiasm and professionalism, as well as the sincerity of Africa Celebrity. The communication with Carl before the trip was smooth, and the needs were met.

From the initial inquiry and payment process to the pre-departure reminders, everything was smooth and well organized. Communication was clear and efficient, which made us feel comfortable and well prepared before the trip.
After we arrived, all arrangements went seamlessly. Our guide Kevin was knowledgeable, patient, and attentive, and he made the entire journey both enjoyable and informative. We were very happy to see so many animals and experience the beautiful landscapes.
We also truly appreciated that the boss Muli personally came to see us off at the beginning of the trip. It showed great care and professionalism. Overall, the itinerary was thoughtfully planned, well paced, and very reasonable.
It was a wonderful experience, and we are grateful for the care and effort put into making this trip so memorable.

Kenya magic, perfectly crafted by Africa Celebrity Tours
Our safari with Africa Celebrity Tours was absolutely flawless from start to finish. The team’s professionalism, attention to detail, and deep knowledge of Kenya’s wildlife and culture turned every day into an unforgettable adventure. From seamless airport transfers to expertly guided game drives where we spotted the Big Five, every moment was carefully planned yet felt completely authentic. The accommodations were luxurious yet in harmony with nature, and the local guides’ passion for conservation was truly inspiring. This wasn’t just a trip—it was a life-changing connection to the wild, and we can’t recommend Africa Celebrity Tours highly enough.

Clear communication, efficient coordination, satisfactory service
The entire journey was well-serviced, especially with the professional driver and guide, Morris, who was highly efficient in spotting animals. If there's another chance to go on a safari in East Africa in the future, I hope to encounter Morris again.
