Unforgettable
The safari with Mosis was super amazing ! Our guide & driver was top! He knew about each animal behavior/ species/ and dynamics. As well as for the flora.
He was very patient with us and kind.
We came across 90% of all the animals and was until the last minute trying to get us to see the Leopard!! I am grateful to be with a such wonderful person and definitely recommend him to everyone who wanna do an exceptional and unforgettable Safari ! Thanks to Mosis

Safari and Cultural Tour was amazing
We did a 4 day (3 night) safari and cultural tour in Tanzania.
Communication with Mary was super easy and always friendly. She was extremely helpful and helped us find the perfect tour for us.
The safari was super fun and we saw many animals, just a little cold in the car.
Our highlight was the cultural tour to the bush man on our third day. Alex, the tour guide, was amazing! He explained us a lot and made us feel super welcome!
All in all we had great days and enjoyed it a lot.

Truly outstanding company
We have just returned from a private guiding trip with Wandering Thru. The way that the team of Ale and Tayla organised our visit was outstanding. We had several issues and nothing phased them . The guides were the absolute best Tayla McCurdy and Tristan Dicks gave us truly great sightings , wonderful photo opportunities and a lot of knowledge and fun . We saw everything we could have asked for and nothing was too much to ask of them .
Put your trust in Wandering Thru , you will not be disappointed.

Excellent bespoke safari organised by Susan at Glamping Africa Tours
Susan listened carefully to our wishes and put together a bespoke safari that included visits to the Aberdares, Samburu, Elsa’s Kopje at Meru, and Ol Pejeta Conservancy. She successfully managed to reschedule our visit to Sheldrick Wildlife Trust at short notice, after we lost the first 48 hours of our trip due to aircraft engine failure in Paris. Nothing was ever too much trouble for her. She is an easy-going, consummate professional, who will work her hardest to ensure you get the safari of your dreams. Douglas, our driver, was equally great. He has many years experience, and worked hard to find the wildlife we most hoped to see. A good driver/guide makes a safari, and we certainly enjoyed travelling with Douglas and benefitting from his extensive knowledge and cheerful demeanour. Ol Pejeta Conservancy was an unexpected marvel. We visited principally to see the last 2 remaining Northern White Rhino, and only spent one night here. This was a mistake as there is so much to see and do in this beautiful, diverse park. We will definitely return one day soon, and would have no hesitation in booking with Susan and Glamping Africa Tours again.

Excellent trip of a lifetime! 2-weeks Bush and Beach Safari
We – 3 couples in our 50’s and 60’s –returned yesterday from a 2-week Bush & Beach Safari from Kenya. In this trip, we covered game drives in Masai Mara NP (1 ¼ days), Amboseli NP (1 ¼), Nakuru NP (1 day) and Naivasha (1 day). We enjoyed 3 nights/4 days beach vacation in Diani (Mombasa) and also had city tours in Mombasa (1 day) and Nairobi. The entire trip was organized by Salina Wild Adventures.
We approached several tour organizers listed in safaribookings.com. In the end, we selected Salina for their competitive pricing and responsiveness. Our initial contact was with Charles and were handed over to Teddy, who was very responsive to all our queries and demands. He customized a tour based on our necessities. Teddy is based in Nairobi but kept in touch with us throughout the tour.
The accommodations were superb – special mention for Lotos Inn and Suites in Nairobi for their cleanliness and superb Chinese food, and Sentrim Elementaita on the shores of Lake Elementaita, for the excellent location, comfortable accommodation and the excellent buffet spread.
We travelled in a 4 x 4 Toyota Landcruiser during the safari section and had 1 – 2 cars during the city & beach sections of the tour. We always had a vehicle at our disposal and 95% of our meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner) was included in the tour price.
Our driver, John, during the safari section, was fantastic. He was Masai and was very knowledgeable about the animals, the local customs and traditions. He took extra effort to drive great distances in the National Parks to spot the animals.
Future travelers should take note that the luggage space in the Safari vehicle was quite cramped for 6 travelers and their 6 suitcases and personal baggage.
Perhaps the only complaint we had during the trip was that the vehicles provided during the city parts of the tour both in Nairobi and Mombasa could not accommodate all 6 of us in one vehicle. We had to constantly call Teddy to make alternate arrangements. This was annoying at times, especially after tiring journeys. Also, the bottled water was a tad inadequate during whole-day car travels, though it was supposed to be covered by Salina.
Overall, we were quite satisfied with the arrangements made by and the competitive pricing of Salina. We will certainly recommend them to our friends and families who would like to undertake a journey of a lifetime in Kenya. We wish our very best to Charles, Teddy, John and everyone in Salina for their future.

Excellent
We had a 4 days budget camping safari, and loved it! We were in Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorogoro. The driver and the chefs did everything they could to make us having the best safari! They were easy to communicate with.

Benson was professional, knowledgeable, flexible, and a great communicator.
My husband and I went on a 2 week safari in Kenya and Tanzania. Benson put together an amazing itinerary and fulfilled our every need. Would definitely recommend Banok Safaris to all our friends and family.

Ali is the best guide anyone could’ve asked for. I rarely give 4 or 5 stars, but Ali gets all 5!
When booking please pick Dancing Simba! My wife and I flew from the states and did a 3 day tour with Dancing Simba. Ali is the most friendly guide you’ll meet. He’s very funny, and personable. If I lived closer, I probably would have a new best friend in Ali. He is a great dude! He’s veteran guide who knows the entire park like the back of his hand, he knows the history of the park, and we got to see some really rare wildlife because he seems to know their behaviors and habits. Ali has been a guide for many years and knows it well. You may be asking yourself why didn’t I give it 5 stars. It had nothing to do with David or Ali. They each earned 5 stars. The campsite was 3-4 stars. We didn’t have hot water the 2nd day, they said they’ll do our laundry for us. They didn’t mention we had to pay extra until we were checking out. 15 usd for 8 articles of clothing. 😑 Also the tents are very close to each other. It’s great to hear lions and hyenas making noises in the evening, but it wasn’t so great hearing all the other couples in the campsite making love. 🙄 We paid for the luxury tour and the luxury tent was right beside the dinner and breakfast hall which means we were the last ones asleep at night and the 1st ones awake. Bring ear plugs or a sound machine. The food at the campsite was some of the best food I have eaten! The chefs were on point, and made a delicious meal! The inside of the tents were comfortable and very clean! I would choose Dancing Simba every time! They are the best.

N'tee is the absolute best, a consummate professional and just an all-around awesome gut!
N'tee's camping safari was nothing short of superb. He and his staff absolutely nailed every element of the experience, from the pre-trip communication to the safari itself (which was absolutely sublime, by the way) to the post-trip logistical help. He is a masterful director, and his guides are truly incredible at what they do. My partner and I had the time of our lives in the bush, and you will, too, if you decide to safari with N'tee and Co.!
