Amazing experience, lovely safari guide and chef
We did a 5 day safari through tarangire national park, Serengeti national park, ngorongoro crater national park and lake manyara national park, our safari guide Simon was so lovely and helpful, getting us amazing views of a range of animals and allowing ample time to stop and take photos, also very educational, answering any questions we had. The meals were perfect provided by our great chef Pascoe who made our breakfast lunch and dinner everyday! Massive thank you to them for making our safari experience so memorable.

wonderful, warm, authentic
My husband and I arrived in Kenya and spent a week that we will not forget.
From the first day we were well taken care of by Felix and Joseph who were really confident and professional.
We managed to get a general view of Kenya with the visit to the South.
We had some very beautiful safaris with lots of stars in our eyes.
I have never seen so many elephants in my life.
Felix did not hesitate to show us other places that were not planned for and adapted to any situation.
For food we discovered local dishes and we were delighted.
For the planned sites we were just amazed by the beauty of nature and seeing Mount Kilimanjaro gave us a new sense of many things that the Lord has done.
I recommend Marhaba Holidays if you want to visit Kenya.

Albert, the owner of Pure Diamond Tours, provided a professional, punctual, and enriching experience
I recently had the pleasure of experiencing a tour with Pure Diamond Tours, guided by Albert himself. From start to finish, Albert exemplified professionalism and a deep commitment to customer satisfaction. He was incredibly responsive to my inquiries prior to the tour, promptly addressing all my questions and concerns.
On the day of the tour to Kruger National Park, Albert was punctual and arrived exactly on time for pick-up. Throughout the drive, he not only navigated skillfully but also enriched the journey with his extensive knowledge of South African culture and broader African heritage. His insights were both enlightening and engaging, providing a deeper understanding of the wildlife and natural beauty of Kruger.
Albert was instrumental to the overall experience, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable trip while prioritizing our safety and comfort. I highly recommend Pure Diamond Tours, especially with Albert at the helm, for anyone seeking a memorable and enriching travel experience in South Africa, particularly to Kruger National Park. His dedication to his craft, genuine passion for sharing knowledge, and professionalism make him an exceptional guide.

Castro was the man!
Everything was perfectly organized, and Castro was extremely helpful in managing all our needs. From Masai village, to the safari itself and the lake Naivasha, we enjoyed every part! We were a noisy, high maintenance group, but Castro will hopefully not quit his job because of us!
The experience is amazing, but also tiring, so be prepared to collect all the energy you have!

Responsive and organised
The tour operator was very responsive, answered all our questions. Our pick up and luggage storage and the safari guide was organised really well. The downside of the tour was the flight unreliability which is not the tour operator’s fault.
We stayed 1 night at Selous Safari lodge organised by the tour operator and I would not recommend this accommodation due to very minimal meals (although they were very tasty) and very hard beds. So except the flights and the lodge everything else was great. Our Safari guide was amazing, so knowledgeable! The communication with Uwanda tours was great too. We were very happy with our 2 day Safari experience. Thank you.

Baraka is very well organized, friendly and professional.
The transportation to and from the place was organized very well. We had a friendly driver who was always on time.
During the trip, we could always make little adjustments and breaks to take pictures, get food ect.
Both driver and Baraker were very professional, spoke good english and had a lot of knowledge about the places/ culture.

Fun weekend safari tour with excellent driver
Had a great time with Lenchada Safaris as a solo female traveler for the 3-day budget Masai Mara tour! Collins, the office point of contact, was extremely responsive to all my emails on payment method, pick up/drop off locations, etc. I paid a deposit a couple days before online, and then paid the rest in cash the first day after being picked up at my hotel and taken to the office. The drive to and from the Mara was uneventful, but be warned that the roads are pretty rough the last hour (muddy, uneven, unpaved). Also the seatbelts in the van were almost all broken, which made me a little nervous, but Moses, our driver and guide, was an excellent driver and very skilled at getting out of the muddy roads! He was helpful, friendly, and did a fantastic job pointing out animals on the safari and giving us ample opportunities for great photos and close ups. We saw basically everything except the rhinos! Especially impressed that we got to see a cheetah, since apparently there hadn’t been a sighting in three days. The lodgings were basic, no frills tents with attached bathrooms: everything was clean, secure, you could charge your phone in your tent during the hours the generator was on, and they had plenty of food during meals. The only downside was that it was fairly noisy at night with the generator and animals (monkeys, chickens, dogs)—I wish I had brought ear plugs. Altogether though, Lenchada put together a wonderful time for me and my fellow travelers, and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a quick weekend trip to the Mara!
