Amazing
The trip was amazing,
The allocated guide is a good person and very helpful
The accommodations were OK and each has its strong point, some of them were awesome as Lake Bunyonyi. Rock Resort
There they have prepare the arrangement for my wife's birthday, was a nice surprise
During the trip we were not able to spot the Leopards and to increase the possibility to see this amazing feline we have requested a change in our tour. After we have explained our wishes the tour operator did all the needed arrangements. And we saw the LEOPARD.
In my opinion the tour operators can propose some improvement at the customer proposal, we don't know all the nice places in Uganda

Excellent family holiday
The holiday was very well planned by Mr. Paul of Kets though we should have stayed in Nairobi on our day of arrival. The trip to Aberdare from the airport was too long and tiring. Rest of the trip was very good. Somehow this year the migration has started earlier and so we got to see many animals. Saw the great 5 and also the crossing by the zebras accross the Mara river with crocodiles and hippos. Clicked lots of pictures of the animals and also the birds. Some of the most beautiful birds are found in Kenya. The trip to Masai village was awesome with the Masai people preforming their traditional dances just for us. The trip ended with us going to a restaurant in Nairobi called Carnivore. It serves various types of grilled meat like lamb, chicken, crocodile and even Ostrich. It was something we had only heard about but never seen. It was a once in a lifetime experience. Patrick who was our tour guide cum driver was a wonderful person very knowledgeable about his country and also knew the names of almost all the birds. He made all the efforts to make sure we saw all the animals and reached all the locations on time.

Amazing safari experience and excellent value for money.
We had an incredible trip with APS. We were able to see all of the big 5 (and plenty more) on our 4 day safari to the Maasai Mara and Lake Nakuru. Communication from John Peter was great. He answered all of my questions much more quickly than the other tour operators that I was speaking with. Our guide, John, was knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. The accommodation they booked for us was comfortable and clean. Aside from all of this, it was also great value for money. It worked out to be about $50 cheaper per person than the other companies we were looking at. Definitely recommended.

Fantastic experience lovely people and we'll organised
Communication was really great with Seth he helped us create a bespoke itinerary and gave us all the options we needed. The safari driver, Dickson, was amazing! The route we planned had us arrive into from London Nairobi late and spend the next day at the David Sheldrik elephant orphanage which was amazing! Early the following morning our driver met is at our Nairobi hotel in the 4x4 truck, I recommend upgrading to the 4x4, we then headed for Nakuru via lake Naivasha. We did an evening safari in the Nakuru national park and spent the nite at the Savora Lion hill lodge. From there we drove on to the masia mara for 3 nights staying in a tented lodge. We then went on to Tanzania for 5 Days and came back to Kenya in the Amboseli national park. I would thoroughly recommend TripAdvisor safari and the price is very reasonable and I am happy for Seth to pass my details on and talk to anyone who wants more info. The trip was more than we could imagine and just so spectacular, being into photography it kept on giving. Dickson knew everyone in all the reserves and knew exactly where to find animals and view their natural habitat and behaviours without disturbing them.

Incredible experience- couldn't have asked for a better safari! Highly recommend Makasa!
Makasa was a great company to do a Safari through! We had a group of 6 people coming in from different locations and times and Selma was able to coordinate all our arrivals and departures, along with creating an incredible custom itinerary to fit our schedule. They were able to make last minute changes for our group with ease and was easy to communicate with throughout the process.
I couldn't speak more highly of our guide, Ally. He was very informative and knowledgeable about the animals, geography, history, etc. While other cars sped by, he drove cautiously allowing us to take in the area, educating us and helping us spot the animals. He also took good care of the car and kept everything very clean. I couldn't have asked for a better guide!
The tented camps we stayed at were great! The food was incredible and everyone that worked at them were extremely friendly; the hospitality was superb. It was a great experience and loved hearing the animals at night.
I highly recommend Makasa for your safari adventures. I will be coming back at some point in the future and will definitely be using them again!

Amazing tour, amazing company! 100% recommend
This trip exceeded my expectations in every way imaginable. The customer service, hospitality, and professionalism from everyone involved with this company is unparalleled.
Throughout the booking process Mr.Otieno was extremely patient, informative, and understanding.
My tour guide Stanley was amazing. There is no one better than him! He knew the park very well, he knew all the animals, and he explained everything very well. He was able to show me the big 5 in a little over just 2 days!! He also kept me safe from all the people trying to sell me unwanted stuff. Stanley is incredible!
The accommodation at each stop was very nice! Nice hotels and an awesome camp! It was very nice to have everything included, such as meals and water. I will definitely some back to Kenya for another safari and i will only book through Kenya walking when i do!

4 days awesome safari in Tanzania
I booked 4days safari with Afrozone Company in Tanzania(Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara and it was perfect from the beginning to the end. First, Adam is very professional and responsive with the emails and helped me a lot to choose the right package by giving the right information. On my arrival in Arusha, he met with me at my hotel and explain about the Safari and the plan for the trip.
He also helped me for the payment and made the transaction smooth and easy.
About the Safari, I think we had one the coolest tour guide. Elly Nassari, our safari tour guide, was very friendly, flexible and knowledgeable with the super sharp eyes to spot any animals from the far distance. He showed us all the big fives, plus many others and stopped a lot along the way to make sure that we captured the right shot.
Both Adam and Elly are excellent and I highly recommend Afrozone Company.

Amazing intense experience at reasonable cost
We had such an amazing time during this 5-day safari with Fredrick from Fede Tours ! the experience was amazing every step of the way: from the booking where Fred & Martin where putting tremendous effort to adapt the tour to our wishes (they even booked for us train tickets so we could continue our holidays after the tour, which was not originally included in the package), with attuned recommendations.
During the trips, Fredrick handled the game drives in our minivan with expertise and passion, thanks to his experience we really got to see a large variety of wild animals, some of them particularly scarce in the parks ! He took us to the best places within the parcs right at the good time to feel these unique bush vibes at sunrise or sunset, and we were barely bothered by other tourists. Fred also knew how to be patient and accommodating for every single one of our requests we had during the tour
The lodges selected by Fede Tour were simply amazing: comfortable, authentic, calm but with vibrant atmosphere from the parks, and with high-quality service and food.
Craziest thing is that in the end, the price seemed ridiculously cheap compared to the level of service we had and all the great memories we left Kenya with ! as we chose a tour "on the budget", we expected to make sacrifices on some aspects of the tour, but we ended up feeling like we did a highly luxury one !
Would definitely recommend it ! I would just maybe recommend to take 6 book 6 days instead of 5 for the same tour/destinations so as to have some more time to chill out at the unforgettable lodges.
INFO tour: Masai Maara, Lake Naivasha, Amboseli. Lower season period, but definitely worth it as we saw almost all Big5 without witnessing crowded roads or lodges
