Amazing safari experience
We did the Amboseli NP safari 3D2N. Total price for 2 adults + 1 child (3 yo) was 540 USD inclusive of transportation, accomodations, food, park tickets. The communication during booking process was amazing (300 USD downpayment via Pesapal). On the other hand, the pick up was a little bit messy (it was supposed to be around noon but ended being closer to 1pm). From the hotel we were taken to a tour operator office on Wabera St. where we paid the rest of the trip. After that we were taken by car to Shell gas station south of Nairobi where the safari van with our guide, Maxwell, and the rest of travellers were waiting for us. We started the journey to Nyati safari camp, arriving there right after sunset. We were greeted by the camp staff, assigned rooms and given buffet dinner. (I would like to say the camp is very good, staff is friendly, rooms are comfty and buffet breakfast and dinner are very good).
The day after, early morning (6am) we did the morning walk (10 USD pp, worth it), came back to the camp, had breakfast and started the full day safari around 8am, returning to the camp around 5pm.
The last morning we departed around 6am for a half day safari and we were dropped off back in Nairobi around 4pm.
I would like to thank everything and specially our guide MAXWELL who is just amazing, very knowledgeable and honest. Looking forward to coming back to Kenya and doing Masai Mara with him!

Unbeatable overall experience
This 14-day trip was my fifth safari with Dusty Roads, with Geoff as my guide for each one, and each time is better than the previous. Dusty Roads has “default” accommodations for certain locations that I enjoy, and I trust their suggestions for other locations. They can also suggest a variety of activities (which I have used on other trips) such as hot air balloons (Serengeti), night game drive (Tarangire), aerial walkway (Lake Manyara), and cultural visits (Maasai, Hadzabe, Datoga).
Geoff can spot animals with the naked eye that I have trouble seeing with binoculars, and he knows my interests so well by now that, for instance, he pointed out a sycamore fig tree growing on the trunk of an acacia (just because it is unusual), and will stop for anything from an elephant to a butterfly. The highlights included a hyena den with two very young pups; a serval cat; a hyena struggling to keeps its gazelle carcass away from two jackals and a horde of vultures; and a herd of wildebeest and zebras in eastern Serengeti that was in the tens of thousands. Also MANY lions, several leopards, half a dozen cheetahs, a big Nile monitor lizard, and the expected countless elephants and other animals large and small.
All in all, a wonderful trip. I will be going back for more.

Amazing Tour Experience!
We had an amazing experience with the Friendly Gorillas tour company. The trip was awesome and unforgettable and we were able to so many animals, meet so many amazing people, eat delicious food, and view the beauty of East Africa. Our tour guide, Noah, was exceptional, and made the trip even better with his knowledge, friendliness, and humor. I highly recommend using this company to explore this corner of the world. It was truly a magical experience.

Trusting, Genuine Organization
I am writing on behalf of myself and husband to express our deepest gratitude for the incredible trip to Rwanda and Tanzania Africa that our agency, WITO Africa Safaris organized for us. It was an experience beyond compare and we are filled with appreciation for the meticulous planning and attention to detail that went into making it such a memorable experience.
From the moment of our first contact with Abdullie to inquire about the trip until our closure telephone meeting at the end of the adventure, every aspect of this experience was handled with professionalism and care. The itinerary Abdullie crafted was perfectly tailored to our interests allowing us to explore breathtaking landscapes of Kigali so well kept and so safe for travelling. We got to experience Kigali Genocide Memorial and learn more about the atrocities 30 years ago and witness the transformation of the Rwandan people to what is now a very peaceful forgiving country. Our guide Bosco provided us valuable insights and recommendations to addressing any questions or concerns. His professionalism and dedication were truly commendable. A wonderful, warm loving human being.
The Volcanoes National Park and the amazing gorilla trekking adventure was a lifetime memory. The outstanding experience in the jungle through dense natural forests where you encounter families of endangered Mountain Gorillas was a highlight and a must to see.
Another highlight was travelling to Tanzania to the Ngorongoro Crater a UNESCO World Heritage Site where we witnessed an abundance of wildlife including the famous Big Five on our wildlife safari. We witnessed and had the privilege of witnessing Africa’s magnificent creatures in natural habitats. It was humbling and unforgettable experience especially viewing the circle of life. Our naturalist guide Michael was a wealth of knowledge and information on all aspects of our safari experience, and we were sad to say goodbye. A professional gentleman with a great deal of passion for what he does.
In sum, our journey to Africa exceeded all expectations to the exceptional service and expertise of Wito Africa Safaris. We returned home with our hearts, souls and eyes full of cherished memories and a profound appreciation for the beauty and diversity of our world.
We wholeheartedly recommend Wito Africa Safaris to all our family and friends.

Highly recommend
We had an incredible 4 day safari. Every national park we visited was unique and beautiful on its own. We saw more wildlife than I expected. The accomodations in the lodge package were far beyond our expectations offering very comfortable rooms and exceptional views on the Serengeti and the Ngorogoro crater. Be flexible and open to some shifts in the plan, just changing the order of the national parks or pickup times. You still get everything you've booked :-) Highly recommend the tour with crater explorers.

Absolutely Amazing!
We had a fantastic time with Marurumi! As this was our first time on safari and in Africa we were initially apprehensive, however there was no need to be as we were in very safe hands with our guide Robin and absolutely everything exceeded our expectations.
Communication prior to our trip was excellent - James was always very prompt and happy to answer any questions we had. On arrival in Nairobi, we were met by James, Robin and Ivy. James provided thorough introductions and reviewed the itinerary, ensuring we were happy before we left for our safari.
Across our six days we stayed in 3 different camps and visited 3 different parks (Amboseli, Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara) all of which were fantastic. The hotels were of exceptional quality with fantastic food, service and amenities (we chose the budget package, but the hotels and service were anything but!). The staff's hospitality was unmatched, they regularly asked how our safari was going, what we had seen that day as well as consistently inquiring about our well-being and ensuring our comfort.
Opting for a private safari granted us the flexibility to tailor our itinerary. Robin expertly suggested timings to maximise our experience, yet graciously accommodated our requests if we fancied a later start.
The game drives were exceptional. We saw over 40 different types of animals and not only did we see the ‘big 5’ across the first 4 days, we were also extremely lucky to see all 5 in one day during our last day at the Masai Mara - very rare and absolutely amazing! This was in large part down to Robin and his knowledge of the locations we visited. Considering the size of the parks and the sometimes elusive nature of certain animals Robin expertly guided us throughout the day as well as providing information about the animals and parks and sometimes being our photographer!
Finally, we must extend special recognition to our fantastic guide Robin who really made our trip unforgettable. Robin's brilliance and tireless dedication ensured that our trip surpassed all expectations - nothing was too much trouble, and we couldn’t have asked for better. Robin was extremely professional but also very personable and friendly and it was great to get to know him over the week.
His commitment to our satisfaction and his fervour for showcasing all that his country and its parks had to offer really made an impression on us. He eagerly shared insights into safari and Kenyan culture, even going the extra mile to teach us a few phrases in Swahili (despite our sometimes-faltering attempts!). Robin's unwavering enthusiasm and genuine care made him an invaluable part of our experience.
Throughout the week, Robin consistently went the extra mile to ensure our trip was truly exceptional. A small example of his dedication was on our departure day when, despite our evening flight, he stayed with us until 7 pm, ensuring we weren’t waiting around at the airport.
We had a fantastic trip with Marurumi and can’t thank them and Robin enough. We wholeheartedly intend to recommend them to our friends and family. We were very sad to leave Kenya and our guide Robin - but we will definitely be back!

Professionalism and helpfulness at the service of the customer
We love Africa and safaris, and this year we decided to go on one in Kruger Park, not really knowing where to go. We turned to Discover Africa Safari who recommended several game reserve, including Mala Mala, which we chose. We have never made a better choice. It was a beautiful experience that thrilled the whole family. Susan Swanepoel organized the trip perfectly, from the reception at the airport to the departure, including the intermediate stop at Blyde Canyon and there Panorama Route. Helpful, quick, efficient Susan also accompanied us step by step during our stay and always answered any questions promptly. Payments for the trip were made without any problems. We recommend Discover Africa as a travel agency and Mala Mala as a destination for one of the most beautiful safaris you could wish for
