Good safari in Masai Mara
This was not our first time in Kenya. We booked a 3-day trip to Masai Mara (leaving on a Sunday and coming back on a Tuesday evening). In the park: lots of driving, lots of cars in the same place giving it a slight "mass tourism" feel and lacking "bush feel".
Although there during the peak time for wildebeest migrations, we saw very few. We were told that this is because of the Tanzanian burning off land to avoid wildebeest crossing the border. They are afraid of "loosing the business". Shame really as this man-made factor is not really mentioned on tourist safari websites.
Otherwise, everything was splendid in terms of organisation, driver, accommodation (camp right outside gates of Masai Mara), vegetarian food options... Amazing sceneries. Good value for money and very smooth.

Well organised and super friendly staff
I had five weeks in Tanzania and used Cross to Africa Safaris in helping me organise a Safari drive in Tarangire NP and hiking Mt Meru. Everything was easy to organise and it all came together smoothly. Being a solo traveller it was great having Cross to Africa help join me into a suitable group for my Tarangire Safari and have a ranger+cook+guide and porters for Mt Meru. It was great. Even though I had already visited some of the other NP, I still found it exciting seeing all the animals and my guide still taught me things about the animals I hadn't learnt on other trips.
Once in a lifetime trip to a wonderful place.
Excellent drivers - nothing was too much trouble. We saw a vast range of wildlife - and the drivers took care to make sure we all did so. The Lodge was out of this world - amazing attention to detail - we felt we were staying in a film set! Service above and beyond what we could reasonably have expected when one of the party became very ill on the way to the safari.

Exhilarating in every way!
Wow! What an incredible experience it was to climb Kilimanjaro with friends from Barafu Tours. It’s been weeks since my departure and I feel like I still daydream about Tanzania and that beautiful mountain. We couldn’t have done it without the guides and porters that encouraged, supported, and prepared us every step of the way. Our guides were very uplifting as we were challenged the entire journey. I felt confident in their knowledge of the terrain, our health, and our plan of attack! We had a ball talking with them and really getting to know about the country. One of the most inspiring and monumental trips I’ve ever done! Thanks Barafu!!

Professional, expert game drivers who made the experience unforgettable
Communication with the company prior to safari was fantastic, they tailor made our safari based on our specific requirements. Each day was reviewed at the end and a discussion of how we would like the next day to go. The tour itself exceeded expections. Our driver Jackson had so much knowledge of the park, he was always ahead of the game on finding the animals and we saw some truly magic moments because of this! Tom alway went out of his way to make our trip seamless and stress free. We couldn’t have been happier and would recommend this company to anyway. Thank you so much!

Amazing Tanzania and Zanzibar experience
After long time traveling in Tanzania, today i can take this minor time to write for what i had experienced from Tanzania Adventure,
For sure, I traveled to Tanzania just for sighting and getting beautifully photo of Wildebeest in Ndutu
I had unforgettable Safari experience than ever i expected, not only Wildebeest migration but even Tanzania nature and people culture
Guide was great with his knowledge of every animal across, cached a chater from Serengeti to Zanzibar, there was more dramatic luxurious, nice beach, people are friendly and happy to see all us.
We had a chance to test spices in Zanzibar local markets,
Special thanks to this team who are reliable and kind, they made my dream come true
This is from Mr & Mrs Henrik

Everything was great, and just like we had accorded
Shabani was very helpful from the first time I spoke with him. The Safari was great. Our driver Richard was the best: very nice, and good at his job and he speaks Spanish perfectly . Also our cooker Peter was great. We recommend Spoke African Safari.

African Safari excellence
I wanted a two-week, non-group safari, doing and seeing things typical tourists don't experience and got much more than expected for an unbelievably reasonable price. The details and our concerns were handled expertly and hassle-free (because the owner has lived there and knows the right places and hotel/camp owners, etc., making him an invaluable resource). He made special arrangements to accommodate our schedule and desires. From being picked up at the airport to being delivered to our final destination, our driver made the entire Safari worth every penny. He made us feel safe and secure at all times. He knew the animals and their habits, the plants, tribal culture, politics, economics, roads and geography, and became our friend. We would absolutely use East Africa Wild Adventures again and highly recommend them to you.

Excellent team that took us to Uhuru Peak
If you ever consider climbing Kilimanjaro I cannot recommend a better team than Suricata Safari to help you to the top!
We did a 6 day treck (5 days to reach Uhuru Peak and 1 day to get down). It was certainly a challenge and everyone in the group really had to fight to get to the top but thanx to the guides professionalism and extremely good mood we all made it!
It was a great team effort with porters, cook and guides. All of them fantastic people supporting and pushing us all the way. A special thanx to the guides ( Luki, Albert and Freddy)!

excellent adventure
Booking:
The booking process was very smooth. Robert, the manager I believe, was quick to respond to our questions and organize our entire trip.
Trip:
The safari went off without problems. Our driver and guide, Peter, was wonderful. He was knowledgable in the wildlife and shared a lot of other information about Kenyan life, culture, and politics. Peter was with us for the entire trip (except one short leg from our hotel to a meet-up point, where it was a different driver).
As for the actual game drives, it was an amazing experience! We saw pretty much every animal that lives in the region, except the leopard. Regardless, I would recommend this company without hesitation, and am looking forward to the next time I go back!
