Exceptional and exciting trip it was.
We embarked on a 5-day safari covering Amboseli, Lake Nakuru, and the Masai Mara, and it was truly an incredible adventure! We chose Levan Tours for our trip, based on insights from Safari bookings, and couldn't have been happier with our decision.
We had a fantastic experience. The trip was worth every dollar spent. We were fortunate to see the Big 5 and a wide variety of animals and birds across all three locations. The boat tour at Lake Naivasha on our way to Lake Nakuru was a lovely addition to the trip. We capped off our journey in the Masai Mara with a breathtaking hot air balloon ride—an absolute must-do!
The arrangements were excellent, from the hotels to the vegetarian meals. Despite the long road trips, everything was well-organized and engaging.
If you're considering a safari in Kenya, go for it with Levan Tours!
This trip is worth every moment

Best family adventure Nairobi - Amboseli - Tsavo East - Diani
My family explored Amboseli and Tsavo East parks with Bienvenido Kenya Tours in October and we had the best time seeing giraffes, elephants, zebras, lions, and even a cheetah. It was 10 us of travelling and we booked 2 safari jeeps for 4 days taking us from Nairobi to Diani with stays at Sopa Lodge and Voi Wildlife Lodge. Our drivers Daniel and Paul were very kind and knowledgable, and took great care of us.

Incredible trip of a lifetime to Tanzania and Zanzibar
We used Tansafari to arrange our two week trip to Tanzania and Zanzibar in October of 2024 for our family of three (two adults and one teenage girl). We live in Germany and the planning of our trip was over the course of a year. We had been to Tanzania before so we wanted to do a trip that was a bit off of the beaten path and Jonas sure delivered. We were able to stay in places that had few tourists. Communicaiton with him was fantastic from the start. We had so many questions, concerns, specific things we wanted to do and he was with us for the entire process. He always responded to us very quickly and paid careful attention to our wishes and put together a fantastic, memorable trip. We stayed in seven different hotels or lodges and all were fantastic. We had a fabulous guide, Myk Walcott for the week in Tanzania. He was calm, knowledgeable, took care of all of our needs, was a safe driver and an excellent game driver. We had a fantastic pop top game truck. We always had fresh cold drinking water, we were able to tailor the trip to our needs and wishes even when there. We got to go to a local market in Arusha and requested to visit an orphange near the Tarangire National Park to drop off supplies, that was a special experience. Every detail was pre-arranged and we had fantastic food, luches on the go, did a hike near Kilimanjaro, had unforgetable game drives. We always felt safe and like we were in good hands. With so many tour safari operators it is difficult to select one, know you will be in good hands with Tansafari. We already want to go back! They are highly recommended. We even got to meet Jonas in person during our trip.

Exceptional Kenyan Safari Experience - Highly Recommended!
In June we, a group of 4, did an outstanding 5-day safari through Kenya's finest wildlife destinations, and I couldn't be more impressed with the entire experience. This review covers our journey through Nakuru, Masai Mara, and Naivasha.
Communication & Booking: ★★★★★
The booking process was flawless. Paul, our contact person, was exceptionally responsive and professional. His immediate responses to all inquiries made the planning process smooth and stress-free.
Initially, we were hesitant about including Lake Nakuru in our itinerary, but it was definitely worth the visit and fit perfectly into the schedule.
Guide & Vehicle: ★★★★★
Our guide James was a true professional - quiet but incredibly competent. His extensive knowledge of the area and wildlife, combined with his ability to quickly spot and track animals, gave us an edge over other groups. We were particularly impressed by his skill in positioning us ahead of wildlife movements, resulting in spectacular viewing opportunities. The vehicle itself, a Land Cruiser, was in pristine condition and proved to be an excellent choice. Pro tip: Avoid the minivans - we saw several broken down during our trip.
Wildlife Experience: ★★★★½
We were fortunate to encounter almost every animal on our wishlist, with the elusive leopard being the only exception. James's expertise in tracking and timing meant we often arrived at sightings before other vehicles, providing unobstructed views and great photo opportunities. The diversity of wildlife and landscapes across the three locations offered a comprehensive Kenyan safari experience.
Accommodation: ★★★★★
Our stay at the Zebra Plains Tented Camp exceeded expectations. Despite being 30 minutes from the Masai Mara National Park entrance, the slight distance was a non-issue. The camp offered a perfect blend of authentic safari atmosphere and luxury glamping comfort. The food was consistently good, adding to the overall experience.
Value for Money: ★★★★★
As a group of four, we found the pricing very reasonable for the quality of service received.
The decision to use a Land Cruiser instead of a minivan was particularly valuable - we saw several groups losing precious safari time due to broken-down minivans.
What Could Be Better:
- The 30-minute drive to the park entrance might be an issue for some, though we found it manageable
- Missing the leopard sighting (though this is nature, and can't be guaranteed)
Overall Verdict:
This safari experience exceeded our expectations in almost every way. From the initial booking process through to the final departure, the attention to detail and level of service was outstanding. The combination of James's expert guiding, comfortable accommodation, and well-maintained vehicle made for an unforgettable adventure. Lake Nakuru, which we initially wanted to skip, turned out to be a wonderful addition to our itinerary.

Amazing wild life and hospitality experience
We came with high expectations and the team of "Heritage of African Jungles" and, in particular, our guide topped them by far. He was very friendly, most helpful and extremely knowledgeable. It was a great pleasure being his guest. He was able to lead us to so many wild animals, we did not miss any we wanted to see. Also the whole trip was very well designed and the lodges were well chosen. It was an amazing experience.

Perfect safari tour through Kenia
We booked a 9 day safari tour including Masai Mara, Nakuru, Navaisha and Amboseli Park and it was just amazing. I couldn’t think of anything that was missing! Ann booked and organised the perfect tour for us and was always available and fast in response!
Our guide Brian was just amazing, he was able to show us so many animals and was very well connected and especially respected by the other guides. He was also always there when someone needed help. He has a great knowledge of all the animals incl birds and knew all the places where the animals could be seen. Many thanks to blue mountain for such a great experience we could have! Would definitely rebook again!

Outstanding experience from start to finish
We were recommended to use Tanzania Choice Safaris by a relative - and they were absolutely right! Communication with Brenda was friendly and professional. She crafted a bespoke trip for us, including time on Mafia Island to spot whale sharks, and was very patient with our shifting dates! We were lucky enough to have co-owner Kakasii as our guide and benefitted from his experience and deep knowledge. This was our first time in sub-Saharan Africa and our first safari experience. It was every bit as memorable as we'd hoped (for a 'round' birthday). We were looked after and always felt in safe hands, wherever we stayed. Kakasii kept in touch with our airline to make sure our luggage - which sadly didn't arrive with us - was in the accommodation on the second night. Saw all the Big 5 across Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Serengeti, plus some snorkelling and relaxing by the beach. Thanks for the trip of a lifetime!
