Best safari trip ever
We have been looking for a safari for a long time and looked at many offers. We decided on a 4-day safari with Masengota Safaris, preceded by an overnight stay in Arusha. We bought the flights ourselves, but Masengota also helps with the purchase if necessary. We stayed 4 days in August 2023 as 2 adults and 2 children (13 and 11 years old).
Safari exceeded our expectations. Our guide was Tiba accompanied by Hamsa. In 4 days we visited Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Serengeti parks. We are more than satisfied. Why?
1. Our guide Tiba is an experienced, patient and warm man who was looking for the top 5 animals patiently and until the end.
2. Tiba is a fantastic driver with whom we felt 100% safe. He knows many interesting facts about animals and Tanzania.
3. We felt like on a family trip - friendly atmosphere, shared hot meals, lots of laughter. A nice gift was the safari hats for our whole family.
4. Tiba took us to the best Maasai village and helped reduce the price of the visit.
5. We had great accommodation and meals, and Land Cruiser did not disappoint even once.
We had concerns, both when paying the advance and paying the full amount in Arusha the day before the start of the safari, but they were unnecessary.
We fully recommend Masengota Safari.

Very nice experience for my first safari
Went on a 5 day joining Manyara lake - Tarangire NP - Serengeti - Ngorogongoro safari as a solo traveller, got home with a great experience. Safina managed the booking process well, ended up in a tour with 6 other great persons. Our guide, Abu is a great guy, we got along pretty well and his enthusiasm and knowledge about wild animals was impressive - if you are a younger traveller, ask for his group! He’s a great driver aswell, and seems to know everyone around, so you’ll get first hand infos, where the animals located. Our chef Richard also did an amazing job, had great meals all day. Overall a very nce first safari experience, recommended company.

Logistics were perfect, tour was perfect, and Ronald was so cool!
I wrote to 3 different tour operators for a gorilla experience in Bwindi. On safaribookings.com, the prices were all pretty comparable, but I picked 3 companies with trips that generally matched the tour we were looking for. Of the 3, only 2 wrote back, and only Frena wrote me back within 24 hours. Fred was great at responding to my messages quickly, and was able to secure gorilla permits quickly. He was also able to accommodate my requests to change the itinerary without any issues. The day before our trip started, he messaged me on WhatsApp and put me in touch with our driver/guide Ronald. On the day of the tour, Ronald showed up exactly on time, and took wonderful care of us for the next few days. He was super attentive and was always available for anything we needed. Unlike some other tour guides we’ve been with in Africa, he was never on his phone, and he was always available to engage with us and help us in any way we needed. And even though the gorilla trekking is all organized by the Ugandan Wildlife Authority, I just want to say that too was great. In hindsight, knowing how smooth everything went, I wish we booked more time in Uganda/Rwanda. While I can’t comment on the dozens of other companies offering tours to Bwindi, I can say for sure that Frena Adventures is a no-brainer.

The best tour company in Tanzania
We enjoyed seeing all the animals we wanted to see, including lions, cheetahs, and the great buffalo migration with explanations from the driver. We had great tour mates, delicious food, and a comfortable tent night. Transportation before and after the tour was included. It is valuable enough to participate by paying money.

Great Camping Experience
The 3 days/2 nights camping trip to Chobe NP was perfectly organized, from start to finish (including formalities at the border, pick-up from hotel in Zambia, drop off in Zimbabwe, etc.)
All vital information was provided beforehand, including a list of what to pack/wear. Our guide Sam went out of his way to make it the best experience for everyone, and he gladly shared his incredible knowledge of the animals and nature. He was fun, but at the same time very professional when it came to safety and respecting and protecting the wildlife. Also Bernard, the camp's chef and Amos, the camp's host, took great care of everything and everyone. The campsite is unfenced, and of course basic for that matter, but has everything you need and would expect in such an amazing setting, surrounded by nature. All in all excellent value for money and an absolute recommendation. I'd go again anytime!

perfect tour !
Needless to say, the safari was a very satisfying tour with great attention to detail! (The guide was Ammily)
⚪︎About safari
The guide spotted the animals and moved the car to a position where they could be seen easily, so we were able to see various animals very close up.
⚪︎About the atmosphere and food
I was able to spend time in a very bright and fun atmosphere from start to finish. As for the meals, they prepared very elaborate dishes such as freshly baked bread, pizza, lasagna, and chicken every time, so I looked forward to each meal time!
⚪︎About other services
From arranging hotels before and after the tour to transportation to and from the airport, they took care of everything at no additional charge, allowing us to have a comfortable trip without any worries.

Mr Chege was exceptionally patient and provided insights.
Our Serengeti safari with Kensai Tours and Travel was extraordinary. We saw the Big Five and unfortunately, we did not travel during the wildebeest migration. Now that we know better, we are going to witness it next time. The accommodations were superb, offering luxury amid nature’s beauty. Daily game drives were well-coordinated, ensuring we maximized our wildlife sightings. Kensai Tours’ meticulous planning and personalized service made this safari an unforgettable adventure. Highly recommended for anyone seeking an authentic and exhilarating safari experience.

4 day Masai mara visit
I travelled to Kenya during the heavy rains in April. Unfortunately I had pre-booked my tour and my accommodation was in the middle of the affected areas. Kensai Safaris were gracious enough to act on it and rebooked the accommodation in hotels that were not affected. My transfer from Nairobi to Masai mara was seamless and didn't regret one bit! The patience and attention to detail was highly appreciated and I'll definitely be coming back with my friends.

Perfectly organized tour from A to Z! Just go for it!
We already loved the preparation of the safari trip with Erastus, very clear and prompt communications, different proposals to make sure our needs were completely met. Extra requests were treated with a smile. No question was too much! Very competetive prices! The trip was amazing, a really wonderful experience, with a SUPER guide (Papa❤️)! Vehicle was really well kept, time was taken to see all we wanted to see, the accomodations were as described, all-in-all we would really highly recommend Top Cream tours and safaris and our family will be back! Thank you Erastus and top team! Katrijn and Sybren
