Fun and knowledgeable tour operator.
We did the half-day Nairobi Animal Preserve Park Tour and it was exceptional! The tour operator was GREAT and we saw lots of wildlife. No improvements to suggest!

5/5 Stars - Exceptional Service and Unforgettable Experience!
We recently went to Masai Mara Safari along with my family (5 members). We stayed for 5 nights/6 days. The tour was arranged by Twinkle Tours and Safaris, and I must say, it was truly an experience of a lifetime! From the initial planning stages to the execution, James at Twinkle Star took care of everything. He was very professional, prompt in his responses to any questions, courteous, and went above and beyond to ensure every detail was taken care of.
The safari itself was breathtakingly beautiful, with stunning landscapes, incredible wildlife, and unforgettable moments that will stay with us forever. Our guide and driver Daniel was knowledgeable, friendly, and skilled, making sure we got the most out of our time in Masai Mara.
We had a wonderful stay at the La Maison Royale Mara Camp. The rooms and washrooms were clean, and their service was awesome. The hotel staff was always ready to go over and beyond and made sure that our requests were taken care of. The view from our Balcony was breathtaking. We could see the wildlife from there.
I will highly recommend Twinkle tours to anyone looking to plan Masai Mara safari adventure. Their expertise, attention to detail, and passion for creating unforgettable experiences make them truly exceptional.

Customer oriented tour operator
Lilly helped us to organize a 13 day self drive along Namibia letting us discover and visit the most famous place of this amazing country.
The cars we had were well equipped and well maintained.
Lilly helped us to solve some problems we have at the last minute communicating with her in a very simple way. I can not give 5 stars ( this make also the review more realistic)because one of my request has been not realized, I asked to organized a night in a private reserve where predators are present (was my dream), unfortunately the location selected (new) was in an wonderful place but empty of animals. Lilly tried to help to solve the problem but was too late. BTW is a trustable agency that works in a good way.

I went bananas about Uganda
I just spent ten days in Uganda, courtesy of Grassrootz with Patrick as driver/guide. Over 2000km travelled, enough to give an excellent overview of the country. Was met with friendliness everywhere and widespread English-speaking, a benefit to an anglophone monoglot. Lush countryside but the climate was comfortable for a European, one being over 1000m altitude most of the time. Much of the wildlife was quite different from adjacent countries such as Kenya and Tanzania. One could get close up and personal with wildlife, ranging from white rhinos to chimpanzees to banded mongooses. The Murchison Falls in full flow were awe-inspiring. The Kazinga Channel was notable for its plethora of animals and birds. Two of my stays were in tented camps, with private facilities, which provided extra intimacy with the natural environment. But at all stays there was an abundance of wildlife, ranging from butterflies to elephants. My guide/driver Patrick was excellent, invariably courteous and well able to answer any questions. I was a single traveller but never felt unsafe. I also came to learn the importance of bananas to the local economy!

Best month for Maasai Mara is July and August
In order to catch the great migration and the crossing of the Mara river, the time to visit Kenya is July and August. Its peak season so book 6-months to a year early. You will see such a sheer volume of wildebeest and other grazing mammals as will leave you wondering 'how is it possible'? And of course there are plenty of carnivores following the herd...

Serengeti experience
We went in the dry season and roads were very dusty and rough. Our guide, Gamma, went over the top for us and we saw all the animals we had on our must see list. Accommodations were a little rustic compared to our experience in South Africa but very comfortable and the staff were very friendly and helpful.

Stacy is passionate about her work and takes amazing care of her clients and employees
Trip of a LIFETIME. This was our first time to Africa and Alika Africa made it AMAZING! Stacy answered numerous questions via phone calls and emails and created the most detailed itinerary. My dad (71) mom (61) and myself (29) felt absolutely safe while adventuring on this 10 day safari. Each place we stayed at was beautiful, the hospitality was phenomenal and the food was delicious. Everyone was beyond welcoming and helpful. We had fun learning Swahili and we had the most amazing opportunities capturing photos of so many animals!
Our guide, Sifuni, truly became our friend and we admired his respect for the Serengeti, his knowledge of the wildlife (especially birds) at each location and he kept us safe at all times. We loved every second of this trip!
