Our tour operator was amazing, we had a perfect organization.
We did 4days safari. Our tour- guide Jackson was perfect. He tried to satisfy all the time! With him we had the opportunity to see the big five in Serengeti National Park. The price was very good for all these services. The night in the Lodge in Serengity was amazing. Thank you Full Package Adventures thank you Jackson !!

Loved every second with Salina Wind Adventures
We booked a 10 day safari with Henry from Salina Wild Adventures. We have never been to Kenya before so had a look around the internet and decide to go with Henry. Firstly, he always replied in a timely manner to any questions and queries we had before we booked. He was the same after we booked, so it was great to have someone we trusted on the end of the phone. Henry arranged our 10 day safari from start to end, we wanted to see various parts so this included - Masai Mara NR, Lake Nakuru NP, Amboseli NP then finished at Diana Beach. Our flight arrived late at night and Henry was able to book us a hotel for the night near the airport so we could get a good rest and start the safari the next day. We were met the next day at the hotel by Henry and his driver David. We dropped Henry off on the way to Masai Mara and the adventure was underway. A few hours drive to the Mara passing through various towns and villages we got to see the real side of Kenya. Our accommodation for 2 nights here was the Simba Oryx - staff were great, lodge number 8 was amazing - it has a clear view of the sunset. We could see Zebras and other animals inside the grounds near our lodge. At night we had dinner that was provided and we sat at the fire they setup each night inside the main building to have a few drinks. The next morning we done the hot air balloon - this is a MUST. The 4am rise was well worth it when we were up in the balloon. The breakfast on landing was amazing. Henry can arrange it for the same cost as it was when in the Mara. The staff here made us breakfast to go and that was perfect. We seen so many animals in the Mara and our guide David was so well connected to the people here when one was spotted he would get us to where the animal was. We managed to see every single animal in the mara on the big checklist. We left here to travel to Lake Nakuru - we decided to take the boat trip on the lake after asking David for other things we could do in this area. Im so glad he did suggest this as the boat trip was brilliant. We learned so much about this area from the guide on the boat. We stayed at Lake Nakuru Lodge - it was quite busy but the choice of food would keep even the fussy eater happy. We spent 1 night here, then made the drive down to Amboseli - the land of dust. We stayed at Oilepo Amboseli Safari Lodge, if you plan to go to Amboseli I would 110% recommend you stay at this lodge if you can - you will not be disappointed. Josh and Francis will look after you in every way possible. This lodge also has a swimming pool so you can relax if you do an early safari and want some chill out time, if you visit here make sure you do the Sundowner. We climbed the view point in the NP and had amazing views. We spent 6 hours watching elephants here - there are so many to look at alongside the Hippos. We finished our trip in Diana Beach, it's alot more like a city here so the hotel is what most people would be more used to staying in. We liked the hotel, but if we could go back in time we would skip this part and stay longer in Amboseli. It was a good way to end the trip and relax a little before the flight home. If you have a late flight try and go for food at Carnivore in Nairobi as the food was good quality, Henry can help arrange.
Our time in Kenya this year would not have been anywhere near as good if it wasn't for Henry organising the lodges we stayed in as they have been hand chosen for a reason. They are clean, tidy, and will support all your needs. It is also worth a note here that as Henry used a guide - David who originates from the Mara had great knowledge of the Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli that it just made our trip 110% better. We loved spending time with David and asking far too many questions - ones he was only too happy to answer. I know for a fact writing this review that I will be back in Kenya in 12 months time because we enjoyed our time here so much. Our airline lost our luggage and this didnt even dampen how much we loved spending time here. Our only regret is we should have made it a 21 day trip instead of 10!.
Finally a heartfelt hanks to David who looked after us for 7 days, and Henry who arranged everything we needed before we arrived in Kenya. All in all, there is no one else you need to book a safari with apart from Salina Wild Adventures, we would recommend them to any of our friends in the UK to come here with them without a doubt! hii sio kwaheri tuonane baadaye.

Excellent Service and Amazing Experience
I found Sercar Serengeti Safari through Safaribookings.com and was immediately contacted by John who gave me a call to discuss what I was looking for. As it was our honeymoon, we opted for a 3 day, 2 night safari from Arusha to the Serengeti where we spent two nights, visiting Ngorongoro on the third day on the way back to Arusha.
John arranged a private Jeep which picked us up from Arusha Airport and even had a photo of my wife and I on the spare tyre of the Safari car which picked us up, that was a very unique touch. John also arranged some champagne for my wife and I to enjoy at our leisure during the Safari.
Now to the Safari, our guide Lossi made it his mission to ensure we enjoyed the trip and provided us with information at every stop. His knowledge and experience was important as it meant that we were able to see the rare animals which I will state below.
John also booked a lovely camp within the Serengeti where we spent two nights, it was truly amazing, clean, and safe despite hearing and seeing animals in the evening - this really gave us a Safari feel.
John also arranged a balloon Safari for us, which was the highlight of our trip. We were picked up by the balloon company and taken to the central Serengeti at 5 am where we had an amazing balloon Safari followed by a bush breakfast. I would highly recommend this, it is truly worth every penny! After the balloon Safari, Lossi met us at the visitor centre to start our day’s game drive.
Truly exceptional service and good value for money. These guys know what they are doing and they are reliable. I would advise choosing them over others as they stand out in a few ways mentioned above, as well as their experience.

Intimate knowledge of the country , professional , and a great desire to provide the best service
This was our 4th visit to Namibia and we had a wonderful 15 days visiting the Cheetah Conservation Centre , Damaraland and Twyfelfontein , the Skeleton Coast , Etosha NP , and Swakopmund .
Great Explorations provided the very best service in terms of customer information pack , briefing , personal support in terms of booking restaurants, accomodation and guided activities demonstrating their intimate knowledge of the country and tourism contacts . We always seem to have the very best positions in terms of bush chalet/tented accomodation and restaurant table reservations . The vehicle was the best we have hired in Africa and the support briefing was comprehensive in case of breakdown , punctures etc albeit we had no problems whatsoever with the vehicle [Toyota Hillux ]
This was our best trip to Namibia for wildlife with Etosha and Damaraland providing incredible sightings of everything we would have hoped for[Lions ,Cheetahs , leopards , Desert Elephants ,Black Rhino particularly at the floodlit waterholes in the National Park , and whales at Walvis Bay ]
All accomodation was booked by Great Explorations and all ranged from good to excellent . People of Namibia were as always friendly , providing great service and very often displaying amazing multi-language skills even in the remotest of places
We would fully recommend Great Explorations if you are planning a self drive visit to Namibia

An unforgettable experience
Rose was available and reactive from the quote step to the end, always smiling and listening.
She picked us up herself at our hotel at the beginning, kept our luggages during the safari and picked us up again at the end to take us back to our hotel.
The safari itself was amazing, we had the chance to see a lot of different animals (even a rhino on the second day!).
The driver was kind and patient during the whole safari, allowing us to discover the different parks.
The car was spacious and allowed us to see everything well, thanks to the opened car roof.
The lodge accommodation could have been better but was okay for a night.
Lesley is a great spotter of wildlife and was very engaging.
what a nice brief but comprehensive 2 day safari with a knowledgeable guide

Kind Tour Operator and Fun Safari
It was a very enjoyable safari, where I could see various animals.
I think I was able to experience more than I paid for.
The tour guide Francis was a very polite and nice person.
It's super cool
I had an unforgettable experience with Hekima Safari Tours. Their attention to detail and knowledge of the region made our trip exceptional. From the breathtaking wildlife to the comfortable lodgings, everything was perfect. Highly recommend for anyone looking to explore East Africa
