Very well managed tour - Nairobi to Masai Mara!
Adventure 360 help us booked our Safari tour in Kenya and Tanzania. The tour in Kenya covered the transfer from Nairobi to Masai Mara, and included the guided tour and stay within the Masai Mara NP. Our guide for the 3 days was Joseph. We only have good things to speak about both Joseph and Adventure 360. The tour was very well managed and Joseph was an excellent tour guide. He was extremely knowledgeable about the park, its animals, their habitat and took a lot of efforts to make our game drive a memorable experience! Our accommodation was very well taken care of, and we enjoyed our stay throughout. Double thumbs up to both!

5 day Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro budget safari
I went on a 5 day budget safari in June 2018 to Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. We were in a group of four (two couples) and it was a fantastic experience. It was my third safari experience and a first for the other three.
I researched safari companies excessively prior to any bookings and Kili Slope appeared to be the best with regards to reviews and cost. Communication was impeccable and I always received prompt responses to my messages. Payment was made really easy. They ask for a small deposit to secure a safari and the remainder is paid in cash upon arrival. They picked us up from the airport and we were put into a budget hotel for the first night in Arusha for no charge which was an added bonus. The entire package is all-inclusive with no hidden costs (tipping the guide and cook were our only extra costs).
The safari itself was an incredible life-changing experience. Our guide, Salim, was phenomenal. He was friendly, professional at all times, really enthusiastic about his job and just understands animals on a whole other level. He knew exactly where to go and we got into really close proximity to a multitude of animals - cheetahs, lions, leopards, hippos, rhinos, etc. He made it his priority to find us the big five and give us the best experience possible.
We elected for budget accommodation and we stayed in a fairly "glamping" style ensuite tent in Manyara with actual beds and the remainder were in tents pitched in campsites. The Serengeti accommodation was basic with running water for showers in the campsite. It was however made exceptional by Sam's cooking who accompanied us for the trip. We elected to have packed lunches (sandwiches, pancakes, juice, fried chicken, fruit) so we could maximise safari time. We were treated to a hot breakfast and a three-course dinner every day. The Ngorongoro campsite is lush with Wi-fi and hot water.
The service and tour greatly exceeded expectations and I would definitely recommend Kili Slope Tours and Safaris to anybody looking into booking a safari in Tanzania. I would personally request Salim, if at all possible.
Thank you Kili Slopes for a fabulous time!

They were amazing! Everything went well
Wild planet was excellent! Thale had a lot of patience to answer all my doubts. Ruan was an excellent guide. Great person. Benjamin cooks very well! I figured the safari would be in an open vehicle, and it would probably be best to view the animals, but we managed to see many! The grass was high, which made it difficult to see it as well. But we got to see the Big Five. 2 lions from afar. I thought we'd see more. But many Elephants, which surprised me. The night drive was amazing! We saw hyenas from VERY close.Totally different from the daytime sarafi. We stayed in Skukuza. Next time I'll stay in Satara for about 4 or 5 days to enjoy it more and see more cats.

Exceptional Service
I do not travel much but after Grace and her team at Safe Drive planned my trip, i am re-considering this decision. Safe Drive responded to my queries in a timely manner and were very informative. The Mara was beautiful, Grace made sure i was treated like royalty.
I would definately recommend Safe Drive Tours and Travel for exceptional service and pocket friendly prices!

Amazing Safari
After convincing myself I would like to go on a safari adventure, I had to find a country and a travel agency.
After my research, I chose Kenya. The agency was what was left to choose. I searched the internet and found “Safaribooking”. This was the most complete site, as they have all the information you need.
I sent some price requests and from the beginning Kikwetu Cultural Adventures, including Kenneth, sent me the promptest replies. They respond quicky and efficiently in a very professional way.
I was a little afraid to make payments to a company I had never worked with, but after contacting some customers and Kenneth himself I realized I was dealing with honest people.
Until the day of our arrival, they have always given me all the information I requested.
From our arrival at Nairobi to our last day in Kenya, our guide – Livingstone Masagha – was amazing.
He is an excellent person, always ready to help us and worried about our well-being. Always searching for the wild animals we liked the most.
We started at Amboseli National Park, then Lake Naivasha and finally Masai Mara National Reserve. The latter the best.
This was an amazing vacation and a trip to remember.
I am alrealy organizing my next trip to Kenya and hope I will get to know other African countries, always with Kenneth helping me in the next safari adventures.
I truly recommend this agency. Do not search another…

3 x Times we saw the Big Five!!!
For me it was the second time to visit lovely Tanzania. Without any doubt we booked our holiday at African Wildcats. Last time I visited it was the end of the dry season, now I visited just after the wet season, what a difference!
Lanscapes we now green, the grass was much higher but also other animals were to be seen.
The outcome was spectaculair: we saw 12 rhino's! Even one in the Serengeti!
I would like to thank Jacob, our guide, for his focus, humor but also persistence!! We just could not leave the parks without seeing every animal! :-)
Thanks again, and offcourse we will visit again!

Incredible once in a lifetime experience!
I went on a six day Safari to Tarangire, Ngorogoro, Serengeti and Lake Manyara with Anthony from Cross to Africa Safaris. I was impressed with the promptness of communication, flexibility in planning the safari, quality of vehicle and professionalism and knowledge of the driver guide. Anthony made every effort to make it a unique and enjoyable experience and allowed some customisation of your safari to suit your needs. It is hard to pick a favourite park from the beautiful baobab trees and herds of elephants in Tarangire, the prowling cheetahs and getting up close to the lazy lions in Serengeti or the rare black rhinoceros and the distinctive volcanic environment of Ngorogoro. I would highly recommend to stay at least a night or two in a luxury tented camp in the Serengeti so that you can experience the stunning sunsets that Africa is famous for, view the starry night sky and wake up to the sounds of wildlife. I also had the chance to visit a Masai village and time for rest and relaxation beside the swimming pool. Overall it was an incredible once in a lifetime experience and I would highly recommend Anthony at Cross to Africa Safaris!
