Very nice safari experience
Ahmed, the owner of Wildness Safari, was very helpful and quick to respond to all my questions all along my inquiries regarding that safari. What was described in the program was entirely fulfilled with one boat safari, one all-day game drive and one walking safari.
The driver/guide was not only an excellent driver between Dar and Selous but also a very knowledgeable guide.
I found the offer of this company of a very good value compared to some other companies. The place where I stayed was even better than what I expected.

Review about Masai Mara National Reserve by Brian Scott
Can't beat the Masai Mara for big game. Must see.
Only downside is the Masai village. Total scam. I would have paid money to hear someone tell a story, or show me how to make a bow. Something authentic. Sadly, they have been duped into believing the only thing they have to offer is tricks and entrapment designed to coerce you to buy worthless trinkets.

Review about Lake Nakuru National Park by Brian Scott
My favorite. I'm not sure if it was the baboons, the rhinos, or the hyenas. Just the right mix.

A Kenyan Safari is a must on any bucket list.
The up side: You'll be face to face with as many big game animals as you can imagine. Strike that - it's unimaginable.
The down side: Long, uncomfortable, dusty van rides. You think you know potholes and traffic? Wrong!
Up side to the down side: Worth it!!
My biggest gripe is the constant barrage of worthless trinket hawkers.
Intangibles: meeting people on the trip is as good as the destination.
I havd a fantastic guide, Stanley - made all the difference.

Wildlife, warmth & minivans!
The views of the Rift valley with Zebras grazing by the roadside is a memory that will stay with me forever. And that was just the first day... Elephants, lions, giraffes, hippos, and numerous varieties of birds I had never even heard of were soon to come. The guides seemed to be able to answer any and every question we had about the animals, birds, insects and the traditional way of life in various regions of Kenya. And they were experienced with dealing with the challenges of driving around this huge country (even if a part or two had to be welded back onto their minivan). Despite the ongoing investment in infrastructure in the country, getting around is limited to hired vehicles with drivers, but the hours on the dirt tracks are rewarded with amazing beauty, and wonderful, friendly people! An amazing country that I hope to come back to soon

Refreshing wildlife safari
We visited Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Ambaselli in August 2018. Though we missed the chance to see the great migration process, still it was a great experience to see the wild life so closely. Lions, Giraffe, Zebra,Elephant, Rhino - we spent wonderful 5 days among those. Undoubtedly Masai Mara was the best among the lot. Weather was just perfect. No rain. From morning 10 to 5 PM the temperature was high & sun screen & hat were mandatory. Rest of the time the weather was very pleasant. Our tour guide Anthony was a nice person & he tried his best to help us see more & more wild. Would definitely be there once again

Amazing in the dry season..... stark beauty amazing wildlife
Uganda is literally the best kept secret in Africa, all the parks you travel to give you an extra-ordinary personal experience and you have some amazing close encounters. The raw power of Murchison Falls is something to behold, a drive on the delta and you will see massive herds of Giraffe, Elephant and Buffalo and of course Lions. We were also fortunate to see a Leopard up close and personal...... AMAZING.
Once you head down south, you see the remarkable change in environment that exists, from the game viewing and climbing lions of Ishasha, to natural beauty of the Bwindi and the mountain gorillas, the diversity is simply extra-ordinary. Without doubt the absolute best part of any safri trip to Uganda, is the small numbers of tourist, you feel like you really are having an individual experience with nature, very rarely shared with other tourists.
Next up is Kidepo in October....... True wilderness.
