An unforgettable safari adventure
We were a group of four friends from US and were looking for a wildlife safari covering major parks in Kenya. We sent inquiry emails to a couple of different agents (both big fish and small ones). We all eventually narrowed down to Bushtop Kenya Safaris! This was the best memorable holiday we ever had. Denis is an absolute gentleman who clearly loves his work and displays a considerable amount of care and attention for all his customers to ensure total satisfaction. Our guide David was just beyond superb with eyes like an eagle and very knowledgeable in animal life and where to go to get the fantastic pics of the wildlife. In Masai Mara he quietly drove in search of the elusive leopard and even when sightings came through on the radio (in Swahili so we couldn’t understand) he would keep them to himself to avoid me getting my hopes up but rush to the area. Our accommodations at the Sarova Mara Camp were amazing! The tents were clean, spacious and comfortable and everything we needed was provided (toiletries, flash light, extra blankets, umbrella). The buffet was incredible and the additional cost for drinks was very reasonable!It was obvious from very early on that we chose the right company for our safari to Kenya. I can't recommend Bushtop Kenya Safaris enough!

Great Experience!
I got to know about Monkey Adventures while I was searching for options for my Tanzania safari on the internet. We reached out to many providers and Monkey were the fastest to respond to all our queries. We did some research about them before we proceeded with them. They are a fairly young company and their packages are among the lowest priced when compared to other operators. But since we found a lot of good reviews about them on TripAdvisor we decided to proceed with them.
Arvind was the one who communicated with us from the start, and he was very helpful in answering all our questions. He gave us useful information about which parks would be the best to visit and the right places to stay. We had various options under different price ranges that we could choose from. We ended up going to Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire for 6 days safari.
Our guide for the safari was Reggie Junior. He had great driving skills and showed us a lot of animals. He shared a lot of information about the national parks and wildlife and the history of the region. He is a young guide, but had a lot of experience, as seen from his skill. He communicated very well, shared jokes and made us feel at home at all times. The accommodations suggested by Nyani were Tukaone camps at Central Serengeti, Tortilis at Ngorongoro and Angata camp at Tarangire. All of them were great in their own way. At Tukaone we heard the sounds of lions and hyenas throughout the night and it was thrilling. Food was excellent at Tortilis. Angata camps had very good tents and great location in the middle of Tarangire.
About the parks, we really loved Serengeti and Tarangire. They were both very big parks with lot of wildlife diversity and numbers. While Ngorongoro had amazing concentration of animals, there were too many tourists and it’s a very small park.
We would highly recommend Monkey Adventures and will use their services again next time when we hopefully return back to East Africa for Gorilla tracking!

Excellent communication, professional & helpful service with quick response times.
We had a wonderful family holiday in South Africa and Botswana. Matthys at Discover Africa put a great itinerary together, everything worked like clockwork and as advertised. The accommodations, food, flights, transfers and the land and water safaris were excellent with our safari guide being very knowledgeable. Staff at the safari camps were attentive & courteous. Our visit to Camp Moreni exceeded expectations and we viewed four of the big five ( no rhino, but we knew this in advance) plus many other animals. The internal flights with Safari Air were an adventure in their own right – especially the Cessna Van. Pilots were professional and helpful. Thank you for making this a memorable holiday.

Gorilla Tracking in Africa
My husband and I recently did a Gorilla tracking and cultural vacation in Rwanda and Uganda. We arrived in Kigali and then had a tour around the clean city. We visited the genocide museum and some other cultural sites in Kigali before left Rwanda for Uganda. We stayed in the lovely Mutanda Resort and it a very nice place by the shores of Lake Mutanda. The Gorilla tracking adventure the following day was a one in a million experience. We trekked high up the Mountain and one should be fit to enjoy this activity. Our trackers led us to a family of Gorillas and we enjoyed the experience very much.
In the evening we had a fantastic evening entertained by a local dancing troop and served with traditional cuisines.
We had a fantastic trip and Chris is a wonderful guide who made our trip successful.

Great Experience in Arusha National Park
The safari in Arusha National Park was very great. We really liked the communication and the service. Especially great was the hiking in the national park. Here one could, for example, approach the giraffes to a few meters. Abu is the ideal travel companion: he knows the nature and Tanzanian culture very well and can tell lots of interesting stories about nature and the life in Tanzania. And he has good eyes in the sight of animals. We will surely make our next safari tour again with LongWay Expeditions and Abu.

Wonderful Family Safari
My family had the most amazing safari in Tanzania with Vervet Safaris a wonderful local operator who has given us the most wonderful experience. We arrived in Tanzania in a late flight and were happy to find a representative fro the company waiting to take us to our hotel. Very early the following morning Agnes from the office came to our hotel and introduced us Moody our guide for the trip. We had a detailed safari briefing and then left Arusha for Tarangire at around 8.30 am. Tarangire has mixed habitats with some grasslands, swamps and lots of baobab trees. There were so many herds of elephants, giraffes, baboons and we even spotted the African wild dogs which I understand was a lucky sighting as they are quite elusive.
Moody then took us to Lake Eyasi Basin where we spent time with a family of hadzabe hunter gatherers who live just by hunting and gathering wild fruit, roots and stuff. The following day took us to Ngorongoro Crater where we descended to the crater floor experiencing the beauty and abundance of wildlife conserved within the area. We also went to Ndutu area and saw the thousands of wildebeest and it was an amazing sight.
Vervet Safaris gave us the most wonderful tour for a very reasonable price and we recommend them to those that are looking to get value for money and not compromise on quality

Scenic Machame Climb
We just came back from doing the scenic Machame route with KWESA and could not have chosen a better company to get me to the summit.
The whole experience was so professionally executed by experts and who have been in this business for a considerable amount of time as they understand everything and the plans fit into one another so well. Our guides Lazaro and Eddy took the best care of us leaving nothing to chance. We had regular oxygen level checks, amazingly delicious hot food freshly prepared by our cook on the mountain and beautiful narration about the beautiful scenery, rocks and habitat at the different levels of the mountain.
The whole crew was impressive during our trek, the porters would go before us and set camp everyday and we would find hot tea waiting for us when we arrived in camp.
I especially indebted to Lazaro who encouraged and motivated me on the summit night and got me to Uhuru peak. Without him I most definitely would not have made it.
I had the most amazing time on this climb and want to assure those that plan to climb Kili that they should contact KWESA and they will be with the professional climbing crew

Trip of our lifes
We are a couple and we did a extreamely good Safari with Heritage of African Jungles to Amboseli- Lake Nakuru- Masai Mara and Lake Naivasha.
Everything was very good and nice. We had the greattest experience of our lifes in Kenya.
Our guide/ driver, Francis, was a extremelly good and pleasent to us, his job was really amazing always in a good mood, teaching us a lot about (wild)life in Kenya. On the roads as well as in the parks, Francis has been a very careful driver, paying high attention to our well-being and always made sure that we are happy. Within the parks, he knows where to spot the rare animals and we thank him for many unforgettable moments including Cheetahs eating what they had hunted, lions with their cubs, breathtaking sunsets and much more. We going recommend him to our friends who want to do a Safari in kenya and of course this agency.
All in all, we must thank Naomi and her team for all the effort to make our trip a journey unforgettable and to remember.
