Professional and personable operator who went out of their way to ensure we had a good time
We booked our Kenya leg of our Africa Safari through Daylight Safaris and overall our experience was extremely positive. During the planning and booking stage, Misaro was always quick to respond to emails and provide valuable advice for our small group booking. She is so personable and took the time out to come and meet us at the giraffe centre in Karen. Our safari guide and driver, Steve was so knowledgeable and made our time visiting the Nairobi National park, the Sheldrick elephant orphanage and Amboselli game reserve an unforgettable experience. If we do a longer trip to Kenya, I wouldn’t hesitate booking through Daylight again. It’s always great to be able to support a local Kenya operator.

Kenya is nothing but magical!
We could not have asked for a better experience than what we had during our Safari with Spirit of Kenya. Wonderful lodges, excellent services, with wonderful meals on-board.
Kenya is definitely one of those places, specially the savannah, the actual beauty of which you cannot capture through your camera lens no matter what you do. It settles deep into your soul in ways you cannot imagine. You lose track of time, and you lose your connection with this artificial world. You only exist in the wild, alongside your oldest pals and get a good whiff of how far humans have strayed away from what they were supposed to be.
Safety however is an issue outside the parks/resorts and the government should work upon providing a smooth law and order for tourists who pay a hefty amount for their experiences in Kenya. We, along with 100s of other tourists, got hijacked by a bunch of local protesters on our way from Masai Mara to Lake Nakuru. We missed our evening game drive that day because we stood still in that hijacked patch for more than 4 hours. It was a tense situation as we had kids along and we were scared that things may go south during the protest as no government official or anyone from tourism board came to rescue any of us from the situation.
These kinds of experiences within the country create a distaste for an otherwise beautiful experience.
Nevertheless, our trip to Kenya was fantastic and it was nothing less than a wonderful surprise for all of us. The weather, the hospitality inside the resorts and lodges was excellent.
We wish to visit Kenya in the future too.

Incredible wildlife with wildbeest migration
We travelled to Dar es Salam, a city of beaches, with great food.
We enjoyed an excellent boat ride from Dar to Zanzibar. Zanzibar was an island where white sand combined with blue/green water mesmerized us. The lanes of Stone Town and the Food in Lukeman Restaurant made an unforgettable combination.
The wildlife safari in Trarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro overtook all our expectations. We sighted Big Five, Zebra, Giraffe and almost all other animal habitats in East Africa. We can never forget the wildbeest migration across the Mara river.
Our tour operator, Meru Slopes, kept all their commitments and even more. Our guide cum driver Dunhil and our chef Dogong Dogo need special mention make our Safari memorable for years to come.

Unforgettable journey
We had a really nice time in Tanzania. The landscapes are mind-blowing, people are very kind and humble, and the beaches are incredible. Zanzibar is a very safe place (at least in the area where we stayed, which is Kendwa). We stayed there 10 days and then went on a 3-days safari on the mainland. Overall, an unforgettable experience.

Great country to visit, people were friendly & helpful in every aspect.
A great experience, our 10 day safari was seamless, food and accomedations were first rate. Will never forget the night a lion attacked something outside our tent. The sound will be inbedded in my mind for ever. Credit our great experience to our driver & guide Gerson of Kilimanjaro Adverture Safari Club. He did a great job looking after a couple of 80 plus year olds. We saw the big 5 plus many other birds and animals and would recommend this trip to anyone.

Wonderful time
They did a great iterinary for our trip. We went to 4 parks to see the animals. Our driver, Mike was so good. He got us so close to the animals on our game drives and we saw all of the Big 5. The accommodations were comfortable but my most favorite was Eileen’s Tree. Our room in Zanzibar, which was where we ended our tour was also beautiful.

Private 5 Day Safari in Kenya (Taita Hills, Tsavo East, Tsavo West and Amboseli)
We planned our trip out of Germany. The communication with Lincoln was excellent. We had several wishes and Lincoln made all of them came true. (Storage of our surfequipment during the trip, different route option, different accommodations and trip back by train). Lincoln replied fast and everything was on time.
The trip started with a pick up from the hotel in Momdasa and ended with the drop off in Watamu.
Our driver Sammy was also one highlight of our trip. He always took care of us, answered all the questions we had and it was always fun. Sammy is really good in finding all the hidden animals in the wild and therefore we saw a lot of animals.
After the evening game drive we always had a short briefing for the schedule of the next day.
The whole trip and all accommodations were as planned before.
It was a lifetime experience.
We highly recommend and would always book again with Ramesa Adventures again.

Great crew to visit the safaris!
I am just coming back from an amazing experience in Tanzania. We went in a small group of friends and had lots of fun.
The Eco-Africa Climbing team was friendly, reliable, and very responsive. We went on a couple safaris and were able to see several animals. Strongly recommend to book with them if you are searching for a crew to visit the safaris and/or hike Kilamanjaro.
(They were even able to put up with out bad jokes for several days :) )

Highly recommended for a perfect travel agency
Overall, the travel experience was fantastic. The travel agency responded quickly, displayed professionalism and responsibility, and offered reasonable prices. The hotels were of our own choice and provided excellent accommodation conditions. At the camp, we were able to spot many small animals, and the food was abundant and delicious. Our guide was experienced, conscientious, enthusiastic, and friendly, giving us a deeper understanding of wildlife and the overall situation in Africa. I highly recommend this to other friends who wish to travel to Kenya. I look forward to returning to the land of Africa in the near future to continue exploring its amazing natural landscapes.
