WHAT A BEAUTIFULL EXPERIENCE!
We are 4 friends who have decided to spend our holidays in Kenya for the first time in August 2024!
After various searches we booked the Safari through the Lenchada tour operator, organizing a group safari (economic accommodation) 4 days Masai Mara and one day Lake Nakuru. But our driver gave as the possibilty to stop also in lake Naivasha during the road to Nakuru.
We have just finished our safari and I can confirm that our guide, Peter Kapino, immediately proved to be very professional and respectful both towards us and towards the animals and nature.
He took us around the park far and wide allowing us to admire all the animals of the savannah, we saw all the big 5 and the ugly 5 with him.
Peter told us many curiosities about the animals and the park itself, also he is a number 1 driver, he drove the landcruiser like a real driver. Despite the various dirt roads and waterways, he never got stuck with his jeep.
As for accommodation, we stayed at Lenchada Camp during the nights we spent at the Masai Mara, a basic tented camp with good food, near one of the main entrances to the park.
We spent the night at Nakuru at the Hill Court hotel, a very nice hotel.
I highly recommend both Lenchada as a tour operator and especially Piter Kapino as a driver and safari guide.

Tailored excellence
Ntanda Ventures were a delight to work with every step of the way. With a large group and complex itinerary, Sonja was in complete control of our booking at all times. With her expertise and good connections, she provided fantastic advice about lodging and transport and made bookings at very favourable rates. Also, when we were travelling Sonja and Kerry were always available to help sort out any hiccup that arose along the way (and when travelling in Zambia, hiccups arise). I cannot recommend Ntanda Ventures enough.

Best memory of the year with apodiformes!
We were on a Safari adventure in Kenya on the end of July. It was truly a splendid journey. A heartfelt thank you to Fred for his patient communication throughout the preparation phase. Our guide, big Tom, exceeded all expectations with his dedication, vast experience, and unparalleled friendliness. He led us on an unforgettable journey, ensuring every moment was captured with awe and wonder. Tom is extremely dedicated and conscientious, ensuring that every request we make is meticulously fulfilled. He takes great care of us and goes above and beyond to satisfy our needs. A truly remarkable trip, thanks to the exceptional teamwork of Fred and Tom.
Excellent in all aspects
We booked our Safari for our family group of ten people, with Carol of Tekko Tours and throughout the process she helped us. Even booking our train tickets for after the safari. The accommodation was excellent but most importantly our two guides Stephen and Kevin were extremely knowledgable and very dedicated to making sure that we had the best experience possible, always going beyond what they needed to. We were lucky in the enormous range of animals and bird life we saw but also this was due to their skills and care. We would all highly recommend anyone to book with this company

Unreliable
I was not picked up at the Nairobi Airport as promised. They did not have me stay in proper lodgings as promised.

Timely reply to messages to solve problems.
The cost-effectiveness is very high, the staff are very friendly, and the driver is very cooperative with our travel. The only drawback is that the initially agreed upon hotel was not successfully booked, resulting in price changes.

Great service and professionalism | 4-day Safari
Very competent staff and available to answer all our questions before and during the safari (over 30 emails exchanged with Novatus!). They had the best proposition among the four Safari agencies I was in contact with. We were welcomed by Seith and Novatus who showed us around Arusha the day before our departure. Our driver Mariki was also very competent and experienced, and we were lucky enough to see all the animals we expected to see! The accommodations were all very good, and the food provided for lunch on Safari days was excellent every time. I can only highly recommend Tanzania Pilgrimage Safari.

Marvel, a seriously wonderful and astonishing one stop show for all tourist needs in the region!!
Review for Marvel - Our Incredible Tour Guide!!
I recently had the pleasure of embarking on an unforgettable journey through Zimbabwe, Zambia, and Botswana, with my wife and our two daughters and I cannot express enough how amazing our tour guide, Marvel, was throughout the entire experience. From the moment we arrived, Marvel was incredibly helpful, ensuring that every detail of our trip was taken care of. He also connected us with a photographer that followed us around and took some incredible shots!! I couldn’t be more pleased with my experience and time with Marvel and his company!
One of the standout moments was when we faced a bit of trouble at immigration. Marvel’s quick thinking and well-connected network made all the difference, as he swiftly navigated the situation and got us through without any hassle. He was able to get us processed before a 70 passenger bus which was ahead of us, adding hours back to our day. It was a testament to his professionalism and deep understanding of the local processes.
Marvel’s knowledge of the region was impressive. He shared fascinating insights about the culture, history, and wildlife, enriching our experience every step of the way. He also had an uncanny ability to make our desired experiences happen, even those we requested last minute. Whether it was a special wildlife tour or a local dining experience, he went above and beyond to ensure we had the best possible time.
Moreover, Marvel offered the best prices, making our adventure not only memorable but also budget-friendly. His dedication to providing exceptional service truly sets him apart.
If you're considering a tour in this beautiful part of the world, I wholeheartedly recommend Marvel. His expertise, connections, and genuine care for his clients will undoubtedly make your trip a remarkable one! Thank you, Marvel, for an incredible adventure! We cannot wait to come back for more!!

Outstanding in knowledge and service!
This is our second safari with Dume Africa. The trip was executed glitch free and all our needs and wants were managed with excellent care. We travelled to many parks and accomodations were wonderfully handled. As I was somewhat disabled on this trip, our guide went above and beyond to see to my comfort and needs. Will recommend Dume to anyone interested in a safari in their service area!
