The guides from the travel agency are superb!
The travel agency unexpectedly changed our hotel without our consent. However, our guide was exceptional - responsible, experienced, and skilled at spotting wildlife. We encountered numerous animals, making this a truly memorable trip. Despite the hotel change, the overall experience was enhanced by our amazing guide.

Amazing Kenyan safari
We have had the most amazing safari with Savannah Hippo Safaris. From the first contact, communication has been excellent ensuring that all our needs and expectations were met and exceeded. Stanley and Chippa are very knowledgable and I have learned so much on this trip. We have seen so many animals but seeing a cheetah feeding with her 5 cubs was so special. The accommodation chosen by Stanley has been exceptional especially Ziwani Safari Camp, Salt Lick and Ngutuni Safari Lodge. I would highly recommend Stanley for your next safari

Good experience for the price
Good experience at a pretty affordable price especially considering it's high season, we saw all big fives thanks to our driver & guide Peter kapino who has ~15 years of experience in safari. During the high season things could be a bit chaotic, but the communication with Lenchada side is really efficient and problems got solved quickly.

The best patient and warm service
I contacted a lot of Safari companies in advance because I wanted to have my wedding in Africa, morningstar always replied very fast, kendy is a very patient person, she solved a lot of problems for us and prepared a surprise for my wedding in advance, I think it was the most memorable day for me!
Our guide joshua had years of safari experience, was calm and polite, found lots of animals for us, very professional!
I think this is one of the best memories I will ever have in my life, thank you for their service, it has left me with a very good impression of Kenya.

Topy Tours offers an unforgettable safari with exceptional guides and a warm, family-like experience
My 5-day safari adventure with Topy Tours was nothing short of extraordinary! From the moment I arrived at Kilimanjaro Airport until they dropped me off, the team was exceptional—kind, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable. We explored Tarangire Park, spent two days in the Serengeti, and visited Ngorongoro Crater, each location more breathtaking than the last. The accommodations exceeded all expectations and were top-notch.
Haji, our safari guide, was simply fantastic; his expertise, warmth, and attention to detail made the experience unforgettable. THANK YOU SO MUCH HAJI, YOU ARE AN AMAZING PERSON. We saw all the Big Five and countless other amazing animals.
Ending the trip with a visit to Materuni Waterfalls was the perfect finale, with Christian as our guide, who truly made the day magical, I will never forget you neither you made that day unforgettable, you are such a kind person and thank you so much. THANK YOU SO MUCH CHRISTIAN YOU ARE INCREDIBLE AND THE BEST SINGER. As a solo female traveler, I felt completely safe and welcomed throughout the journey. Topy Tours made me feel like part of their family, and their passion for Tanzania and its beauty was evident in every detail. If you’re considering a safari, don’t hesitate book with Topy Tours for an unforgettable adventure in paradise!

Great safari experience with good communication and very customer focussed
What a brilliant trip! We did a 7 day safari with Laxatrails in the excellent company of Peter, an amazing, safe, reliable and knowledgeable driver and guide. Whilst accommodating ALL our wishes, he guided us through 4 Kenyan national parks, seeking out the very best of animal viewing and safari experiences.
Dennis joined us for 4 days too so between Peter and Dennis, we enjoyed double guiding; local knowledge, funny stories, updates in real time, vehicle modifications, lots of laughs, beautiful photo opportunities, and skilful driving. So many animals - the Big Five and the Ugly Five!. We really appreciated the way Peter and Dennis would know how to get the best viewing of the animals and were keen that we were satisfied at every turn. They certainly know their way around the huge expanse of the parks. The tweaks to our accommodation were dealt with as requested including an upgrade at one of the lodges, and we enjoyed bespoke features of our own private safari.
We were picked up in style from our accommodation in Nairobi, Peter helped us complete a key drop off, and at the end of the trip, we were dropped inside the grounds of our new accommodation so we felt very well supported and served for the whole 7 days.
We can't thank you enough for a trip of a lifetime. Thank you Laxatrails and the team

Great option!
Very knowledgeable, professional, flexible tour operator! Everything went as planned. After our trip, we recommended them to friends who also had a great experience. A small business operation, but great attention to detail and service!

Great but details are sketchy!
On the whole the trip was amazing. The beach hotel was beautiful with great food. The safari was made by the guides, they were absolutely fantastic, knowledgeable and really interesting and we saw so many animals. The downsides were that the first day of the safari started at 3am and we stepped from the plane into the jeep. By the time we stoped for coffee and a small cake at 10am we were starving. Lunch at 1pm and then nothing until dinner at 7.30pm. We received no itinerary so didn’t expect to go straight off on safari. The days ended at 4pm, the lodge only had cold water and dinner wasn’t until 7.30pm. It would have been good to have known this so we could have taken snacks and ensured we had what we needed with us. We were told it was a bush walk and boat safari on day 1 but that was actually day 2. No info at all on itinerary or what to expect. The bush walk was incredible, wished it had lasted longer. The guides were amazing as were the Maasai.

Excellent
We selected ThinkScene Safaris ourselves from the US because we preferred not to engage a consultant. They compiled an itinerary that perfectly captured everything we wanted to experience in Africa. The entire trip was fantastic. We were eager to see wildlife, and Maasai Mara and Amboseli National Parks provided the ideal settings for encountering the animals we had always dreamed of seeing. We were able to observe many creatures up close, and our guides were both experienced and knowledgeable. I asked countless questions, and our guide always responded with patience and expertise. The meals and lodges were excellent, offering great value even though we had many specific requests. I credit my incredible experience to Philip of ThinkScene Safaris. Thank you for an unforgettable journey!

Review of My Safari Experience
Safari Destinations: Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara
I recently went on a safari to Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara, and it was an unforgettable experience. Initially, I struggled to find a good organization to book the safari, but once I found this company, I immediately felt confident about my choice.
A big thanks to Innocent for organizing everything and keeping the communication clear and easy. His help made the whole process smooth and stress-free.
I also want to give a shout-out to our guide, Charlie. He made the trip a lot of fun with his knowledge and friendly attitude. It felt like we were exploring with a friend who knew all the best spots and facts.
Overall, I felt like we got great value for our money. The service and the entire experience were definitely worth it.
Thanks again to Innocent and Charlie for making this safari such a great adventure!
