Incredible safari - Masai Mara, Nakuru, Amboseli
First of all if you're trying to decide on how many days to do, I think 6 days was the ideal amount. The first day and the last day are mostly driving to and from the parks, so that gives you 4 days of safari time, and even during those days there's a lot of driving between the parks. If we had done any fewer days we wouldn't have gotten to see everything we wanted, so, 6 days is good (provided you're OK with lots of bumpy driving).
We had a great time on this safari. Our driver was John and he was an absolute delight -- he studied safari for years at a university and told us all sorts of cool things about the animals we were seeing. He also was an amazing driver, and he could spot animals from far away that other vans and jeeps had missed. In Masai Mara he took us on a route to see a sleeping female lion that nobody else saw -- we were the only ones there. It was really, really cool.
We also saw a leopard in a tree (!) and a cheetah, and then about 50,000 zebras, giraffes, elephants, wildebeest, gazelles... my god, it was everything we wanted.
The company is very reliable and responds swiftly. They pick you up wherever you're staying the morning of the first day, and they take you back to wherever you want to go when it's over. They handle everything and it's nice not to worry about any of that stuff.
The lodging is really top notch. I recommend the cheapest option (the "tents") because they're really glamorous, it's not like an actual camping tent. It's basically a hotel room in a resort with a tented roof. It's awesome.
One of our worries going into it was the food situation, but I was pleasantly surprised by it. Breakfasts and dinners are great -- basically a buffet with good coffee and fresh fruit juice. Lunch can be a little iffy, it's basically a box lunch with some meat and bread and fruit. It's fine, definitely not a concern.
I strongly recommend this tour company and this safari. You're going to take a lot of pictures so when you can, remember to just put your gear away and just stand up in the van and take it all in when you have a moment of peace. It's beautiful.

Perfect 3 days safari
We did 3 days safari to Taranrige, Ngorongoro cater and Lake Manyara and it was all perfect.
From the very beginning it was easy communication by email. They answered all my questions and helped with local flight reservations. I was even asked if we have any special request for food.
The Guide Anderson came to pick us up in Arusha. He was very friendly, profesional and patient with us. We were only 2 pers in the car so he stopped it when and where we wished. After a short time he got familiar with our expectations and started to stop a car without any words to get best pictures of animals. Great jobb Anderson!

On safari with the best
The entire experience with Safari With Us was incredibly smooth and rewarding. From the get-go, I did not need to worry about how the trip would play out as the Safari With Us team took care of everything. Upon arrival in Johannesburg, they took us under their wings and took care of every detail of the safari journey. I highly recommend Safari With Us for your next experience in South Africa and beyond.

We had a fantastic trip to Mikumi National Park — lots of animals and easy logistics.
Gecko Adventure was easy to coordinate with, even though we reserved our trip last-minute. Edgar, our guide, was fastidious in making sure that we saw as many animals as we could squeeze into our two days' of game drives, and he looked after us well. Even though it was the start of the wet season, we managed to check all the animals off our list that we had hoped for.

dream safari
the safari was well organized and gave us the opportunity to see all the big 5 in the national park.
the accommodations were budget tents, but they had everything you needed, including nice food throughout our six days.
