Third Time and Counting
This was our third safari with ToKenya Safari. It gets better with each visit. It feels like meeting old friend. We always travel with George who now knows us well. And exactly what we like to do and what where we like to visit. Our favorites are Ol Tukai at Amboseli. Sweetwaters at Ol Pejeta. Elementaita Camp and Mara Serena Lodge. Just perfect!

The sentences on web site are not true
I never recomend this tour company. Almost things that they said is not true.
As for the accomodation, the staff told me that we could see sunset and sunrise there when we asked before booking but actually we cannot tehre. We have to move another place to see and it takes one hour one way if we want. The driver said he doesn't want to. As a result, we could not.
As for payment, they said we can pay credit card but actually they asked me to tell all information about our credit card.
Of course, we could not for our finance security. And they needed money in advance and they told me to return bank transaction fee later if we pay by bank transfer in advance. So I believed and payed in advance by bank transfer but he never return.
This is a very shocked trip....

Great Safari!
Two times I took a safari to Nairobi National Park with their drivers and vehicles. I had a wonderful time! The drivers were professional and the vehicles were well-maintained. The drivers knew where we were likely to see animals at that time of day and took us to those areas. They also explained what we were seeing, and pointed out animals in the distance that we would have missed. I have also stayed with Elida Tours' bed and breakfast three times. They provided airport transportation (to and from) in well-maintained vehicles with excellent drivers. The hotel rooms are very comfortable. The food was so excellent that I would love to go back for just that reason. The entire property was lovely and very safe. The business owner is an ethical man who will treat you well and make sure you have a great stay. I give Elida Tours my highest rating, and would encourage anyone traveling to Nairobi to stay with them.

Professional, maticalous, communicatand went out of their ways to make sure we had a wonderful trip.
This is definitely one of the best trips we have been on. The trip allowed us to see so many animals and surrounding nature. Pictures we took did not do justice to what we saw - seeing thousands of Wilderbeasts and Zebras migrating across the plains is an amazing and breathtaking sight - In awe, I breathed and took it all in. The tour operators, Aurelia and Ben, were very attentive to our needs, communicated thoroughly, and made sure our trip goes smoothly. They made sure that camps and lodges had special gluten free diet for me (a request I made at the last minute). Our guide is professional, friendly and very knowledgeable. He went out of his way to make sure that we saw as many animals as we can; he was able to spot the animals well in advanced and positioned us in good spots to see and take photos of the animals. Game drives were amazing; early and late game drives enabled us to see cheetah and lions up close (few feet away) as well as enjoy beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Food and accommodations were great. Camp/lodge sites were serene and beautiful, service at the camp was excellent and food was delicious and exceeded our expectations. I was told by my friends that this was not camping but glamping as we slept on comfortable beds, had hot shower and full toiletry inside the tent. I highly recommend this Safari trip in Tanzania fro e Trip for those who want more adventure and seeing more of animal migration.

Fantastic planning experience and trip of a lifetime
My experience with Walter Kohrs of Safari Online was literally perfect. From the very first contact to the follow-up after our vacation, Walter was as professional and friendly as a person can be. He provided prompt and informative answers in the planning phase of our vacation and was very patient with my many questions regarding places to visit, places to stay, pricing, activities, etc... Once we had decided where we were going and what we would be doing, he continued to respond to any and all questions I had about our upcoming vacation. With respect to the vacation itself, it truly was a trip of a lifetime and exceeded our expectations. We visited Tanzania for safaris and Uganda for gorilla trekking. Our guides and the companies we were set up with were wonderful. We saw all the animals we had hoped for and more. The day-to-day game drive experiences were fantastic. We also had the opportunity to do some game walks and a balloon ride. We were able to visit local communities and schools and thus had some exposure to the local cultures. We stayed in wonderful places (e.g., camps, lodges), met lovely people, and ate very good food. We could not hope for better experiences and this was due to the fact that Walter Kohrs truly listened to what we wanted and made it happen. I would not hesitate to recommend Safari Online and Walter Kohrs.

amazing 7-day safari in Kenya & Tanzania with the best company
As you know , there are hundreds of companies operate safari , but what I would say , Mama savana is absolutely the best one.
After a long time dream of Africa , my wife and I decided to make the dream come true. We built a 2 couple team with our friend and his wife. This is our first time to be in Africa , our bucket list include: to take photos with animals on the MT. Kili background, to see the landscape of endless savanna, to witness great migration and wild killing. As our holiday isn’t ample, how can we realize this list? Mama savana helps come true.
We took a 7-day safari, the beginning was from Nairobi airport. When we arrived, George, our Kenya guide, was there early and welcome us warmly. He took us to Amboseli ,then Namanga border. It was a short but unforgettable tour. We saw the animals on the background of Mt. Kili, it was the picture I imagined and dreamed ever. We also saw the male lion, through he was old, stepping in the sunset with dust, toward his wives, how awesome he was! George accompanied us still we cross the Tanzania border, He is really a caring man, He was always glad to tell us about Kenya, about animal and what we interest. Through it’s only a short time, when we say goodbye, we all miss him.
In the Tanzania side, our guide/leader was Amani, an experienced and humorous guide. He took us to Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro and Serengeti. We had seen the big 5, zebra, giraffe, wildebeest, crocodile, Flamingo etc, Amani was a magician, whatever we want, he always showed us. Migration, wild killing, even mating (we had witness lion and zebra mate closely, it’s a very special experience ),all these amazing scene was vivid in my eyes. Amani was a kind guide, he always said “if you want to take photos, just say Amani, then car stopped”. And more, he was a excellent leader. He set the pace on safari, he knew when you can or you should have a brief without missing anything, he told you animal behaviour when you were enjoy your photo work, he would also interrupted your repeated photo works like zebra, gazelle,wildebeest,etc. and suggest you”let’s see something new”. He made you enjoy your safari and experience all things happen in this wild world during your short holiday, and you didn’t even feel a little tired.
People live in modern society maybe worry about the environment in animal kingdom. Just don’t worry and trust Mama Savana’s arrangement, condition of accommodation here is no worse than in your world, and much more special. You can sleep on a queen size bed, have a shower in hot water, view the landscape of endless savanna in your room. Even more, the food is beyond imagination, enjoy your delicious food, meat and beer, then forget the weight you gained.
Maybe there are companies operate higher standard safari with higher standard price to let you experience luxury. Mama Savanna let you experience raw animal kingdom in most comfortable way with reasonable price.They show you what the true animal kingdom is like and the animal kingdom never be luxurious.
Unforgettable memory, Mama Savanna Safari, highly recommend.

Amazing big 5 experience
We booked a 7 day safari tour through internet with Fredinah. The communication was very good and she was very helpfull. We did a bike tour through hells gate park and a boattour at lake Naivasha. (Extra cost). We saw the white rhino and the black at Nakuru National Park. Our good driver/guide Joseph is a good wildlifespotter. At the Masai Mara we saw in one day the big five. Many lions and a male lion with a deer in his mouth. A leopard next to our car and a jumping cheetah over our car. At Amboseli we saw Tim the biggest elephant and hunderds elephants walking with a nice clear view with the Kilimanjaro. Everthing was great and well organised. Thank you again for the great holiday.

The best trip I’ve ever been on. I consider Ken (guide) a close friend now
Outstanding. I had a tour booked fir Virunga, we found out about one month away that Virunga wasn’t going to open in time for our trip. CDS made some last minute changes and we went to Kahuzi Biega instead.
