Safari to Masai Mara, Gorillas, and the Serengeti
We researched all the East Africa safari companies before choosing Kenya Walking Survivors Safaris. We were impressed with the existing reviews and we really liked the itineraries they offered. We were not disappointed with our choice! All of our guides were knowledgeable, professional, and nice. We saw pretty much every animal there was to see. Some of the drives were long but the guides always handled it with a minimum of delays. The accommodations were as described- not luxurious but not budget either. The food was fine too. For the price we really don't see how we could have had a better safari.
Exceeded our expectations
Amazing experience, how close you ca get to the wildlife, the variety of natural settings, the brilliant blend of tourism and natural settings are second to none.

Florent and his staff were all amazing, friendly, knowledgeable and professional.
What an amazing country with friendly people and precious wildlife preserved in an array of national parks. From our climb up Kilimanjaro followed by an extraordinary safari to a beach getaway in Zanzibar, Florent from Snow Africa Adventures did a phenomenal job designing and orchestrating the itinerary for our group of 9. We had an extraordinary trip in Tanzania. Thank you Florent and all of those who worked with Florent and our group along the way!

Great experience in the Serengeti
We were Pumba's first clients and had a wonderful trip in november 2016. It was a spectacular experience. Edwin is an excellent guide, who knows where to be at the right time. We saw almost everything we hoped to see, only the rhino was too shy :-). The lodges were amazing! The organization was excellent. Edwin is a very nice and fun guy! He knows everything about the animals and plants - so your questions will all be answered ! We will definetely come back to finally see a rhino and to experience the big migration. Thanks a lot and see you soon !!

This agency provides utmost professional advices and individualized services.
We knew about African Welcome Safaris thanks to friends who used their services the year before. We very much appreciated their responsiveness and listening to our needs and expectations. We lived amazing top class safari days within the Kruger park area, and were very well advised on what-to-do in the Southern part of South Africa, i.e. Capte Town and the Garden Route. African Welcome Safari organized everything from hotels to local flights booking, including car rental and private transfers, allowing us to fully and safely enjoy our 15 days in South Africa.
Excellent, exceeded my expectations
Well coordinated. I would like to comment tour consultant by the name Real Munyiva. she made my bookings easier with all required information i did not have difficulties. the transfers were made on time with no delay. will use again

The trip of a lifetime!
My two daughters and I recently returned from three weeks in Africa, and thanks to KWSS, it was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. From the time I first started looking at different tours and companies a year ago, Otieno (or OT - the owner) was right there, answering my emails within hours or talking to me on phone via WhatsApp. It's not easy to put your trust in a company that's halfway around the world (not to mention making a large payment!), but talking to him, and reading reviews made me feel confident that I'd chosen the right company, and indeed, the entire trip exceeded my expectations.
Our trip started in Kenya, where we went to Maasai Mara reserve for games drives and visiting the Maasai tribe, proceeded to Uganda, where we went trekking through the jungle to visit the gorillas, and ended in Tanzania for more game drives in the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro crater, and ended the trip with three glorious days on the beach at Zanzibar.
Words just can't adequately describe the experiences of seeing the "big five" and every other animal imaginable in their own environment. High point of the trip (which is not even really a fair term to use since every single day was a wonderful new adventure!) aside from gorilla trekking - a hot air balloon ride over the Serengeti at sunrise, which was just amazing - the great migration was there, and we saw thousands upon thousands of wildebeests and zebras. A full hour in the air, followed by a delicious champagne breakfast - with tablecloths! In the middle of the Serengeti! What an experience.
Because of the extent of our travels, we had many different accommodations, and all of them - from the hotels to the tented camps - were wonderful. The food ranged from very good to excellent, even at the little roadside restaurants along the way in Uganda.
From the time we were picked up at the airport in Nairobi to the very end of the trip, I felt safe and well-taken care of. Three women, traveling alone...I wasn't quite sure what to expect, but we never had to worry. We had three different guides during our trip - Shuma in Kenya, David in Uganda and Filbert in Tanzania. All three were so knowledgeable, professional, friendly and just such excellent guides. I really can't say enough about KWSS. I hope to return to East Africa...the countries are beautiful and the people are welcoming. If I do, I will definitely be using KWSS again.

Unforgettable Experience. Perfect combo of Adventure and Relax.
Since the very beginning of the trip we didnt have to worry about anything. For 18 days our minds disconected completely of any kind of responsibility. This trip offered the perfect combination of adventure and relax.
Also, all of the staff was really friendly and took perfect care of us during our days in dar es salaam, zanzibar and the safari. We regret not having more holidays to do other activities.... but we will come back! :)
Personal, professional, very flexible and accommodating to ensure exactly the holiday we wanted,
From the very first email contact, through to the holiday itself; I received very personal attention from one advisor; who as a result; really understood what we were looking for from our travel.
The communications were always prompt and I was kept very well advised on the status of my bookings. Numerous enquiries and requests for itinerary adjustments were dealt with professionally and courteously.
I would not hesitate to recommend Land and Lake to others looking for a personalised service combined with expert understanding of Malawi.
