10/10!
We booked our first selfdrive tour after some previous overland tours booked through African Travels. The tour itself was perfectly designed with much room for our preferences and budget. We camped at places that we felt really suited us. During the trip itself, we needed a lot of help from African Travels due to flight problems (African Travels changed the itinerary accordingly during the night, whilst we were flying) and car problems. Our car had several hick-ups and every time we called African Travels, they made sure we received the right support, in such a way that it would affect our itinerary the least. We are very greatful for the great design of the tour and all the support African Travels has given us and we wouldn't book else than through African Travels for our next trips!

The crew of Shipungo Safari & Tours was exceptional, accommodating and knowledgeable.
Being from South Africa originally, our bar is set high because we have been on so many safaris before. Kem, our guide for our journey was exceptional. Kem made sure to get us to a sighting that was shared over the radio communication system so we had sightings, such as Wild dogs, that we have never had before. He was also very knowledgeable. We have learned so much from him. Back at camp, Shine and Ody, took care of everything, from setting up our campsite to providing us with delicious meals. They were all very courteous and our camp accommodation was also very comfortable. We had a safari of a lifetime!

Very good Safari and Guide!
Good: It was a very nice experience. We saw many animals (Big 4). Our Guide was very open-minded and explained everything really good and answered every question. Food was cooked instead of Lunch bags, what was nice. Accommodations were great.
Not so good:
Double Meal prep (from the lodge).
Accommodations of all guests we're different. In Ngorongoro we've stayed 20 km away from the campsite of the others people. We've started very late at 9 and didn't see any Rhinos. (Normally the Programm would say start at 6 for crater).

Efficient
We had a terrific experience with Kevic. From the beginning the communication with Bob, the owner, was seamless. He answered many of my questions and concerns in a timely, professional and clear manner. He will give you a detailed breakdown of everything you are paying for so there is no surprises. I checked the hotel and campsite prices quoted to me through the company with their websites and the prices seemed to match up meaning there is minimal to no mark up. Bob even went out of his way to meet with us when we were going through Nairobi and introduce himself and ask how our trip was going. We had the pleasure of having Alex as our driver who was amazing. Very knowledgeable and personable and he got us everywhere we needed to be in a safe and timely fashion. He knew his way around the parks and knew a tremendous amount about all the animals and the culture of the people there. Alex went above and beyond to show us a great time. He also helped arrange getting some items I left at one of our camps back to Nairobi and went out of his way to pick up my stuff. My wife and I had a terrific time with Alex, Bob was terrific with arranging everything, and we cannot recommend Kevic enough for anyone coming to Kenya for safari.

They are very efficient, proactive and meticulous with an excellent guide
Highly organized, provide superb options overall. We visited Amboseli, Nakuru, Naivasha and Masai Mara. Great stay, food and safaris. Highly knowledgeable and patient guide named Moses. Aparajitha and her team at Africa Keys are outstanding tour organisers.

Luxury Camp Became Ordinary Camp
Our contract says we stay in Matawi Serengeti Camp in Serengeti, however, when our driver took us to this hotel, the hotel manager said we did not book it. After 3 hours contacting the travel agency, we had to move to Kenzan Tented Camp at 9 p.m., which was horrible sitting in a car in a dark wilderness for an hour. Matawi Serengeti Camp is a very luxury camp, but Kenzan Tented Camp is just a 3-star camp. However, the travel agency said these hotels were the same and refused to compensate even if I showed the rating of the hotels.
Moreover, our car's brakes did not work and we hit a cow. Luckily we did not hurt, but we did not know about the cow because the driver did not stop.

Very educating and informative!
Our safari was absolutely fantastic! Baraka, our guide, was incredible and highly professional. His extensive knowledge of the flora and fauna was impressive, and he answered all of our questions with ease. Thanks to his expert driving, we managed to see the Big 5. This was truly an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend!
