Exciting!
My experience with Serengeti smile has been excellent since we get in touch with them till the end when they drop us at the airport. Starting with Erik who has been very kind solving all our requests and designing our Safari. Also, our guides were amazing. They show us the big five! That was our dream so we can say they help us to get it come true. Dani was our spanish guide who help us to understand all the information and Champion was our driver, we felt safe all the time in the car with him. They were kind and funny! :)
We recommend to travel with them.
All the accomodations they booked for us were amazing. Sleeping Kon Tiki Camp in the Serengeti was the best experience we had.
Thank you very much!!

Unforgettable 3-Day Serengeti Safari with Exceptional Service
We enjoyed an incredible 3-day Serengeti Safari with Tanzania Royal Explorers, and it was an experience of a lifetime! The customer service was outstanding from beginning to the end. Our guide was not only knowledgeable but also passionate about the wildlife, ensuring we had the best chances to see a wide range of animals, including the Big Five. The team's hospitality made us feel welcome and comfortable throughout the trip. Every detail was thoughtfully handled, making this safari an unforgettable adventure. Highly recommend Tanzania Royal Explorers for an authentic and well-organized safari experience
An Unforgettable Safari Trip
We had a wonderful Eastern Africa safari trip with “Amazing Memories Safari” in the last 2 weeks of August 2024. Communication via WhatsApp with Owner Ms Anne was swift and clear during pre-trip (visa requirements,rooms/diets accommodation). She had often checked with our traveling group leader for a few minor changes during Kenya/Tanzania Safari tour. Special shoutout to guide/driver Mr. Eliud on Kenya side tour. while gaming drive,he was telling history/culture/land marks of local areas along the way. His knowledge of Safari wildlife and ability of spotting an animal afar is incredible! He understands guests’ hunger for capturing a good picture, and was able to manage our needs/expeditions
and Safari driving restrictions. he is an excellent guide. I would recommend “Amazing Memories Safari” with 100% confidence, and Eliud would be mine No. 1 choice of guide!

Excellent Africa Safari Experience
We had an absolutely fantastic time during our safaris in Kenya, and much of that is thanks to our incredible guide, Charles. From the moment we arrived, Charles went above and beyond to ensure we felt safe, comfortable, and well-cared for. His knowledge of the area and wildlife was impressive, and he made sure we didn't miss a single opportunity to witness the beauty of Kenya's diverse wildlife.
Charles' attention to detail and dedication to our experience really made our visit unforgettable. Whether it was spotting elusive animals, sharing insights about the local culture, or simply making sure we were always comfortable (even having fresh clean water available in the vehicle at all times), Charles was exceptional in every way. We can't thank him enough for making our trip to Kenya so special, and we highly recommend his services to anyone looking for a memorable and enriching safari experience.

Highly Recommend Trotters' Trails
I have been to Kenya twice now. I fell in love with it the first time, so my wife and I decided to bring my parents and kids to Kenya so that they would experience the natural beauty, the perfect weather, the amazing wildlife, and the pristine beaches of Kenya.
My first time in Kenya, Sammy, the owner of Trotters’ Trails was our tour guide and driver. He is definitely a great driver, but he is an incredible tour guide. He was a wealth of knowledge. He was very informative and would point out every detail, every animal, and every attraction we would encounter, some of which we would have been oblivious to if he had not. He knew the land and the wildlife very well. He knew I wanted to take lots of pictures and especially liked birds, so he specifically would be on the lookout for great picture opportunities for me. Sammy and I kept in touch. I knew that Sammy opened his own tour company. So when we decided to visit Kenya with my parents and kids, we knew we would trust no one else but Sammy.
Sammy provided us with well equipped vehicles and experienced tour guides, equivalent to his own skills. Both tour guides were very knowledgeable and were always ready to answer all questions. They would carry books for reference even in case they couldn’t identify a specific bird or insect. They were always well prepared for each day’s trips. They would coordinate with us in the evening for the next day’s plans and have a quick morning brief before we had out each day. They were always very respectful, were great with my parents’ mobility limitations, were very patient and friendly with the kids, and were always ready to chat to keep you informed and keep you company to give you a good experience. They took really good care of us and accommodated everyone’s needs, which is not an easy task with a large group.
We have also referred a few friends and family to Sammy, all of whom have come back extremely satisfied with their trips (separate trips from us).
You will not go wrong with Trotters’ Trails. You will be well taken care of.

Perfect Safaris with lions, leopards, white and black rhino, elephant - a perfect day!
I had two 3h Safaris in Pilanesberg. It was a last minute decision as I was flying in the late afternoon and had to check out in the morning. So I has to get up in the middle in of the night in Johannesburg to be there by sunrise. It was glorious- no regrets. The best day of my South Africa trip! In the morning we saw lions as a highlight. The later one I finally saw a leopard, well two (but one was hiding). 2 weeks South Africa a few tries in other countries and finally on my last day the leopard I came for.

Excellent choice to plan a safari trip
A safari trip is no easy task to plan, and I'm glad I chose Cuckoo to help! I honestly had no clue where to start, but came across Cuckoo, and appreciated that they had clear itineraries and prices listed right from the get-go instead of having to inquire, so that I was able to use that as a benchmark as I looked at other options.
Once I reached out, communications were quick and Tatenda was able to address all the questions I had, including around customizing the tour. The deposit was easy and can be paid with card.
I ended up with the 8-day trip that includes visits to Vic Falls, Chobe, the Nwetwe Pan, and the Okavango Delta including a helicopter ride, which was amazing. The pickups and transfers were mostly seamless and clear, and everyone I interacted with from Cuckoo were lovely (Louis, Shelton, and a different Tatenda). The lodging started out strong at the Shongwe in Vic Falls, but did slowly go downhill as the trip went on. I would ask to swap out Cresta in Maun if I were to do this tour again. In terms of the itinerary and the activities, I think it is generally well planned with a good balance between early starts and more relaxed days, but would recommend an extra night at Planet Baobab to avoid a very long day (5 hours on bumpy roads in an open air Land Cruiser, then another 2 to Maun, then the helicopter ride) and having some time to actually enjoy the facilities there (I'd swap it too but I don't think there are other options in that area).
When I come back to this region of Africa, I would definitely work with Cuckoo again and would recommend them to anyone!

We planned our trip roughly and they made it come true perfectly!
We had this trip recently with Splendid and it's an excellent experience.
From the very beginning, Rachael, our main contact, was incredibly responsive and attentive. Whether we had questions or needed to make last-minute changes, such as switching hotels due to availability issues, Rachael handled everything swiftly and efficiently. Her proactive approach made the planning process smooth and stress-free. During our trip, Rachael continued to be considerate by checking in almost every day, ensuring everything was going well.
Our guide, Mwololo, was equally good. You can see he has experience in Safari, he communicates a lot with other drivers in the reserve to make sure that we don't miss any of the incredible wildlife sightings. He also shared fascinating insights and stories during our drives, making the journey even more interesting.

A good organized tour with breathtaking animal sightings.
The whole experience was very well organized so that everything ran smoothly, and we had really fantastic game drives. We did a tour consisting of three parts (1. Kenya safari, 2. Tanzania safari, 3. hike on Mount Kenya). All sections and all transfers were well organized and everything worked without a problem. It was great that the organizer could be reached 24/7 via WhatsApp or telephone. The entire experience was breathtakingly beautiful, and I can only recommend everyone to come to Kenya and choose this tour guide.

Deeper Serengeti Safaris offer personalised safaris with professionalism and great value.
We are long-term residents in Tanzania and had not visited Mkomazi before. We went on a fantastic trip through the Usambara mountains and into Mkomazi National Park. We were treated with nice walks and safari with comfortable 4x4 and super guides. It was the perfect mix of cultural and wildlife that we sought! Highly recommend Mkomazi and especially with Deeper Serengeti Safaris!
