good
This local tour operator is excellent, and they respond very quickly if any issues arise. You only need to pay a 15% deposit upfront; the balance is settled at their office in Nairobi after you arrive. They also helped us purchase train tickets at no extra cost. Solomon is great—on our first day in the Masai Mara, he took us to see all of the "Big Five," and on the second day, we witnessed the wildebeest river crossing and saw lion cubs. Solomon even knows the Chinese names for some of the animals—very good.

Great trip
Thanks to our local ground team. This safari trip has been amazing! We spotted the Big Five and witnessed the African sunset we’d long dreamed of. Special thanks to our guide Solomon. We were rushing along when he made a quick turn and stopped, letting us catch the breathtaking sunset over the Masai Mara. He’s incredibly skilled at finding wildlife. I will always remember this African adventure. Hope to come back again someday!

Exceptional operator with thorough planning, attentive communication and proactive on-ground support
What impressed me most throughout this entire trip was our guide, Big Tom. He is kind, approachable, considerate, observant and highly flexible. As we traversed the African savannah, he had an incredible eye for wildlife — he could spot all kinds of animals from a great distance, as if he carried a measuring scale in his sight.
He has an excellent memory, knowing every animal by name and able to share detailed insights into each species’ unique behaviours and traits. He responded promptly to all our requests during the safari and made suitable adjustments to accommodate our needs.
On one occasion, after a long full-day safari, he had to drive overnight to our next destination because our group needed to catch an early-morning flight the next day. He pulled it off successfully. With merely three hours of rest, he still took us on the Amboseli safari the following day.
Overall, he is an outstanding guide, and I wholeheartedly recommend him!

Short Trip, Lasting Memories
Even though the safari was relatively short, it felt packed with unforgettable experiences. Our guide was friendly, patient, and clearly passionate about Tanzania’s wildlife. The Serengeti exceeded all my expectations, and seeing lions resting near our vehicle was a moment I will never forget. The campsite was simple but comfortable, and the atmosphere among the group was relaxed and enjoyable. Ngorongoro Crater was stunning, with beautiful scenery and excellent wildlife viewing. This trip convinced me that I definitely want to return to Tanzania for a longer safari.

An Unforgettable Safari Experience with Excellent Service
I had an amazing experience with this company from beginning to end. The service was excellent, and everything was very well organized.
Henry was extremely professional and helpful throughout my trip. He was with me in Nairobi, assisted me with the hotels and everything I needed, and provided excellent service. He then took me to the domestic airport for my flight to the Masai Mara.
When I arrived at the airstrip, I met my guide, who is from the Maasai community. He was a very kind and friendly person, spoke English very well, and was extremely knowledgeable and experienced. From the very first game drive, I was lucky enough to see the Big Five!
The choice of camp in the Masai Mara was excellent, and all the hotels arranged for me in Nairobi were luxurious and of a very high standard. I was extremely happy with the accommodation throughout the entire trip.
The safari was truly one of the best experiences and some of the most beautiful days of my life. Everything was handled professionally, and I felt very well taken care of throughout the entire trip.
I will definitely do another safari with the same company again in the near future. Thank you so much to Henry, my guide, and the entire team for making this experience unforgettable!

Perfectly conducted safari
I can certainly recommend this safari operator; they handled my custom-planned itinerary in both Kenya and Tanzania very professionally. A special thank to our tour guide Charles, who was knowledgeable about the wildlife and very proactive in driving and spotting animals. We saw the entire "Big Five." Thank you for that!!!

perfect
We decided to write this review before our trip was even over, because we genuinely feel that this experience is worth sharing.
We were very lucky to have Kennedy as our driver and guide. He is a down-to-earth and funny guy, but what impressed us most was how calm and steady he always was. He has incredible stamina, handles long hours of driving extremely well, and his driving skills are excellent.
One thing really impressed us: one day, Kennedy had a headache, but he still insisted on taking us out until we found the lions. We only realized he wasn’t feeling well because we asked him. He never complained and never made it our problem.
We also really appreciated how Richard helped us with the hotels. Because we planned our trip quite last-minute, some of the hotels we originally wanted were already fully booked. Richard quickly helped us rearrange everything and found alternative hotels with similar standards. One of them was actually the last room available that day. That kind of quick and practical help made a big difference for us.
We also met a few people who joined our vehicle during the trip. They told us that some other drivers couldn’t arrange the morning pickup times properly, and some even ended their safari around 2 p.m. They were so happy to be with Kennedy and told us that he had basically saved their safari experience.
For the five of us who stayed with Kennedy throughout the trip, we really felt that we were in good hands. He is reliable, patient, funny, physically strong, and most importantly, he genuinely cares about giving his guests a great safari.
We are very happy and grateful for this experience with Super Eagles. If we come back to Kenya, we will definitely ask for Kennedy again.
Thank you, Richard and Kennedy, for making this safari such a memorable experience!

All arrangements were fine, but we were notified last-minute that no Lake Naivasha Sopa rooms.
Our guide John Papa was fantastic. He spotted nearly all wildlife except leopards for us across Amboseli, Lake Naivasha and Nakuru quickly. He’s warm, friendly and kept our trip perfectly well-organised.

Fantastic
I am so glad we found and booked our trip to Uganda through Safari.com! We had the lovely Mel Du Toit organise our trip for us, and she did such an incredible job. Everything from the hotels to the activities we did was incredible, but one of the key factors that made our trip that much more special was our amazing driver, Ismail from Exclusive Uganda Safaris!
He went above and beyond. His wealth of knowledge about the community and the animals made our trip that much more special, and we are so grateful to have had the opportunity to have him as our driver!
