Amazing safari with Emmanuel and Relish of Africa
The most important part of doing a safari is having a great driver and guide. We were very fortunate to have Emmanuel as our guide on our trip. You can and should request Emmanuel to be your guide. He was a seasoned, professional and expert guide and driver. His ability to spot game from far away was amazing. We saw several hard to find leopard and cheetahs thanks to him along with all the rest of the animals. He genuinely enjoyed what he was doing and would go the extra mile to make sure we saw what we wanted to see. Additionally, he was a safe driver who navigated the never ending bouncy roads with ease.
The second most important part of a safari s having a travel agency that you can trust from far away. Relish of Africa was great to work with. They were extremely patient with our endless questions and desire to customize our itinerary and last minute changes and stayed in constant contact throughout our trip to ensure we were having a great time. It is also apparent they take good care of their vehicles.
Would highly recommend Relish of Africa again.

Perfect planning and wonderful experience!
We had a 5 days tour (Arusha-Ngorongoro-Tarangire-Manyara-Materuni) and every day has been wonderful and also funny.
Wines has aswered to all our questions and supported us during all the time (before and after the booking, and also during the safari).
Everything was perfectly scheduled. We had no problems with flights, transfers, guides, hotels / lodge.
I highly recommend this company: Wines and her team are reliable and they really care about costumer's experience.

Amazing, Curated Experience!
Hyrax quickly rose above other companies for their professionalism and quality customer support. As we were shopping around, we quickly discovered that Hyrax was timely and detailed in their responses, ensuring we had every question answered in a satisfactory manner. They helped us choose the lodge that best fit our budget and wants, and they were communicative throughout the experience. In fact, we ran into a snag with the lodge operator and Hyrax acted swiftly to find us a suitable alternative, (and even had the original lodge grant us a complementary experience), so that our overall experience was not tainted. Finally, the driver (Ben) was world-class. With his numerous years of experience, he was able to deftly navigate the Mara while sharing expert insights. Thanks to him, we saw soooo many animals and got picturesque memories that will last a lifetime. 10/10 experience!!!

Frederick and his team are great for organising tailor made tours and safaris to suit your every need. What ever you want he will arrange. We had a great 5 days in Amboseli NP based in Kibo SC and our driver/tour guide Kevin was exceptional. Don’t look anywhere else, Apodiformes is the best. Asante Sana !!!

Meektrails staff are very responsive and absolutely want you to get the best experience possible.
For the most part the accommodations were very nice, communication was punctual and the parks were each amazing in their own way (of course we have our favorites: Amboseli and Lake Nakuru--make sure you get the hike around Crescent Island included). Get ready for a lot of time in the vehicle (though it has a pop-up roof for better viewing) both in getting to the park and then all day around the park. There are some breaks built in and the guides are sensitive to the needs of the travelers, but getting out hiking when there are lions (and other mega fauna) about is just not an option. The roads to some of the parks and inside the park are rigorous...these are not theme parks where everything is groomed and the "attractions" are waiting for you...be patient and just know that your driver wants you to have the best experience possible...communicate completely and be thorough with the guide when you get there b/c you don't know what you don't know until you have boots on the ground. Enjoy!

Unprofessional Tour Operator - suspect him of cheating on money
The driver and the guide (not sure if the person was a guide as he did not volunteer with any information or describe any game through the two and a half days) couldn’t have been worse . Took us more than 10 hours to reach Emaiyan Camp from Nairobi , as we were brought in from an inconvenient road - Sekenani Gate is what should have been used , we came through Talek gate (which you must avoid if you are getting to your stay place). As we reached the gate at 5 pm (after starting at 830 am at Nairobi airport - we did breaks of about 60-90 mins total on the way) , the driver took a transit pass - which is free of charge . However , our driver took 100 USD per person (5 of us were there ) - taking money like this is cheating (to me !) .
Emaiyan Camp was great - always out to make you comfortable . And the game sightings were also great - made for a great trip overall , despite bonfire !
