Just awesome
Amazing experience! The guide Lewis was awesome and really knew his way around. The chef Samson made really nice meals at our campsites (which had great locations in nature in middle of animals). We had a 4 day safari and managed to see all big 5 and more. Just awesome trip, definitely recommend.

Unforgettable Safari in Kenya - August 2024
I just finished an incredible 5-day safari in Kenya with the company "Bienvenido Kenya Tours and Safaris" and I wanted to leave my review because I had read them all before leaving, so I hope it can be useful to someone!
We spent the two days exploring Lakes Naivasha and Nakuru, and the next three days in the Masai Mara. The places we visited were truly spectacular and worthy of documentaries. Seeing all the "Big Five" was a breathtaking experience, and the Masai Mara gave us landscapes and encounters with wildlife that we will hardly forget. So in general the lakes are beautiful, but the Masai Mara is absolutely not to be missed.
A special praise goes to our driver, who demonstrated extraordinary skill in driving even on bumpy and dangerous roads. He was friendly, kind and always available, happily accommodating our requests to stay longer to observe certain animals. His punctuality and professionalism made the trip even more enjoyable.
However, it is right to highlight some aspects that could be improved. Low-cost safari organizations, and I mean all companies in general from what I perceived, are very disorganized. We often changed groups and found ourselves having to wait for the time to collect participants from different hotels, which caused delays and an increase in the time spent in the car. Also, on the first day we had to use a private car due to the lack of available seats in the compartments, after waiting two hours at the meeting point, creating a bit of confusion at the beginning... Finally, of lesser importance, it should be considered that in group safaris it is possible to come across different types of people and the group dynamics can influence the general atmosphere.
Despite these small inconveniences, I would do the safari again tomorrow without hesitation. It was a unique and fascinating experience, which I highly recommend to anyone who wants to live an unforgettable adventure in Kenya.

Tour didn't quite meet the decription we were originally quoted for.
The tour was expensive for what it was. The lodge just outside the park was in an excellent location but it was run down. Rooms and the bathroom weren't really clean. The restaurant food wasn't good quality.
Norman - who drove us from the airport also drove us on the first game drive as no professional guide was available. It's not as good an experience in a car and certainly not what we paid for. Kruger National Park is excellent of course and delivered the big 5 for us! Overall a mediocre tour operator who charges a lot. We realise now that we could have done the tour ourselves without using a tour operator for less than half the price.

We requested a quote 3 night tour at very short notice. We were given a choice of 4 within an hour!
Fabulous 3 night tour. Wonderful 15min flight to a simply exceptional lodge. Fabulous food from a top chef. Wonderful friendly staff. An absolutely first class guide - Jacob - who went above and beyond for us all. Our safari experience in the Delta was truly amazing. We can recommend Fine Bush Tours - they delivered for us!

Unforgettable 5 days safari (Tarangire, Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro)
The safari exceeded our expectations in every way (organization, comfort, food…). Our guide, Mandela, is very experienced, and it's largely thanks to him that we were able to experience incredible moments. We saw the Big 5, a serval with her babies (extremely rare to spot), cheetahs and leopards, and many other animals.
The only downside would be the day dedicated to Lake Manyara. The lake's water level is much too high during the dry season, so the flamingos, as well as zebras and other mammals, are no longer present in this park. As a result, the tree-climbing lions are also gone, as there are no more prey. They have all moved to Tarangire except for the flamingos, which have gone to Lake Natron. However, there are still plenty of elephants, monkeys, and bird species.
