Sarah most helpful booking and Dennis great tour guide and car
Sarah was very helpful in the booking process at Cy Suites. Dennis our driver was very knowledgeable and patient, even when we stopped to shop on the way home!! Very good safari car,
Easy to see the wildlife - 11 rhinos with feeding calf, hippos, warthogs, tortoise, giraffe, birds, impala and so much more. Sheldrick wildlife orphanage was a must, so informative and gorgeous- baby rhinos and elephants, bottle feeding and close encounters. Half day tour became 3pm finish (shopping Utamuduni, good lunch stop ) perfect day, couldn’t have asked for more. Paid USD 173.00 very good value for money and easy. Highly recommended

Excellent tour operator
My wife and I had booked a 4 day/3 night masai mara safari with Milana on the 2nd of July 2024. As promised, the driver guide came on time to pick us up at the hotel and took us to the Safari camp very safely and showing animals etc on the way. The camp was also very welcoming and very well maintained. In particular, our cabin was not a pure tent. It had a glass door front which made it so much more pleasant. We could sit in the cabin and watch the landscape through the glass doors. Small extra charge for this cabin was quite worth it. The kitchen staff was very friendly and took care of my special vegan diet very well. The driver/guide was very knowledgeable. Gave us a very interesting tour of the Masai Mara park for two days. Made sure that we see all the important animals like lions, cheetah, hippos etc etc. He drove us back to Nairobi through a different route so we could see more of the country. In addition, Milana booked the hotel room in Nairobi for us in a nice hotel which was very reasonably priced. I am extremely happy with the service provided by Milana and would use them again in future in case I decide to return to Kenya. I highly recommend them.

Friendly, amenable and knowledgeable - Nick Brant.
Wow! If you only ever go on one safari in a lifetime this is the one to go on. Our tour surpassed all our expectations and has now spoiled us for any other adventure we may go on. Nick planned the itinerary with us in mind after various discussions and emails. However he left enough jiggle room so that we could alter our plans if we wanted to.
We used the Pajero which was expertly kitted out and we slept in the roof tent - my husband soon became adroit at packing the tent up ready to leave. I can only assume it is even better now (if that’s possible) as Nick has sent us some photos of his Hilux.
We visited all the National Parks and saw 4 out of 5 of the Big Five. However one of our highlights was seeing the schubill in the marshes near Entebbe - a must for everyone, not just bird watchers. In total we saw over 150 different species of birds.
Nick chooses his guides carefully and they were all friendly and knowledgeable.
I would highly recommend this one of a kind safari.

An organised and reliable tour operator.
Our half day tour to the Nairobi National Park and Sheldrick Wildlife Trust Foundation Elephant and Rhino Orphanage was wonderful. The tour was well organised, the pop up four wheel drive vehicle was really good and the driver was kind, flexible and gave us information about the animals in the National Park. It was our lucky day as we got to see 11 rhinos, hippos, impalas, giraffes, warthogs, a tortoise and various birds. The elephant orphanage was absolutely fabulous. It was wonderful to see the orphan elephants and rhino being fed and to hear all about them. I would definitely recommend this half day tour to everyone.

Excellent, organized, professional and extremely knowledgeable and helpful.
Highly recommend Timbavati Hilltop lodge, fantastic accommodation, service and location.
Arathusa Lodge was great once we asked to be moved to a river view and not a bush view room. Staff were extremely accommodating.

Dream Trip: Impeccable Tanzania and Zanzibar Tour - Flawless and Unforgettable!
For our honeymoon, we chose Magilani Tanzania Safaris, and everything was perfect. Our safari guide, Balo, as agreed, spoke perfect Italian and was extremely knowledgeable, answering all our questions. Balo always strived to give us the best experience, showing us rare animals and many hunting scenes. Balo has years of experience as a safari guide, and it shows!
The accommodations during the safari were splendid, with tented camps without fences offering an immersive experience in nature, yet comfortable with spacious rooms and helpful staff.
After a week of safari, we continued our honeymoon at a resort in Zanzibar. Magilani booked us a resort on the best side of the island, where the tides are less pronounced, allowing swimming all day. Additionally, Magilani connected us with local tour organizers on the island, such as the spice farm tour. The prices with Magilani were lower compared to those of the resorts.
Magilani arranged all airport transfers with excellent vehicles. Upon arrival, we found our guide, Balo, with our exclusive safari jeep, which had a spare tire cover personalized for our wedding with our names.
In conclusion, everything was perfect and well organized. We highly recommend Magilani.

Great experience!
We had a lovely time at our safari with Kihindo. We did a 3-day safari, and experienced a lot in just these 3 days. During the safari we saw a lot of animals, such as elephants, crocodiles, hippos, giraffes and even African wild dogs!
Kihindo’s service, communication and hospitality were excellent both before, during and after the safari was finished. Would definetely recommend!! :)

I dealt with Charity from Super Eagles Travel and Tours and she was excellent!
I took the 10 day Kenya and Tanzania safari. We had 6 days in Kenya and 4 days in Tanzania. I took the budget tour bec I want to experience staying in a tent.
Before I start let me give you some tips. You don’t need visa in Kenya but you need ETA which you can apply on line. In Tanzania you needs visa so if you have time go apply on line otherwise you can apply in the border. If you golf wa European passport it only cost $50 but if you have American passport it cost $100. If is best that you bring Kenyan shillings and Tanzanian shillings.Go see your doctor so that you can have all the necessary shots you needed. The very important one is the yellow fever shot. You need that yellow card when you enter Tanzania. Take Vit B as it helps as mosquito repellent too! Bring mosquito repellent as well it’s better to well prepared. It gets cold in Tanzania esp on your last night as you will be sleeping in a real tent with just a sleeping bag! Bring a beanie. Gloves and or hand warmers. I also brought with me a solar lamp , disposable hand towels and towels which you can buy from Amazon . There’s no towels provided on your last day so if you plan to shower you need to bring your own towel. I was glad I brought those disposable hand towels. It looks like tables that you put a few drops of water and it transforms into a hand towel. It’s very dusty during the safari and out really made my face feel itchy so wiping it with that wet towel helped a lot! Bring sunscreen! I also brought my water heater and some 3 in 1 coffee and tea bags and make my own cup of tea at night. Hot beverage are only available during breakfast and dinner and if you are like me who loves to drink coffee and tea in the middle of the night then this takes care of the problem. I denied picking up sea shells in Tanzania but unfortunately it got confiscated in the airport even though I out it in my check in luggage. So save yourself the trouble and don’t pick and bring home the shells! If you buy souvenirs in the Masai village it’s gonna cost you an arm and a leg. They will tell you that the money will be used by the village! A brass bracelet cost me $30 and later on I was in the souvenir shop in Kilimanjaro airport and that same bracelet only cost $8! If you buy it outside the village like while we were in Arusha it only cost $5! If money is not an object then go and buy in the Masai village otherwise buy it somewhere else. Don’t forget to bring even a small binocular.
The accommodation in Kenya was beyond my expectations! It was a tent but it has bed with mosquito net, big shower with hot water!, a sink and toilet! Bed was comfortable. Just a tip if your traveling solo when you go to your accommodation they might put you together with other people but you need to put your feet down and tell them that you were told that you will not share with other people or use the excuse that you snore🤣 and would not be fair for the person sharing your room! That should do the trick but if they still insist just call Charity and she’ll take care of it! Food was average… cooked same wherever you are. I tried buying some Pringle in the store as well and some cookies and for some reason it tasted different. So if you like snacks of chips and cookies I suggest bring done from your country if you luggage will allow it. Our driver was Moises and he is very knowledgeable and can spot animals from afar even while driving. The only thing we didn’t like was that when we were there during the protest we suggested for him to make sure that we’re have a full tank but he kept going and end up running out of gas in the middle of nowhere and the most of the gas stations were shut down. I did appreciate that he managed to find another way of getting the gas by paying people to get the gas and deliver it to us but that could have been avoided and saved as some time and anxiety.
