Mixed Feelings
So me and my friend , booked a 10 days safari trip in both kenya and tanzania.
That included : masai mara, amboseli national park, lake nakuru and lake naivasha (kenya ) and serengeti national park, ngorogoro crater ( tanzania ) . Food , camps and hotels as well as transportation were all included . The total cost was around 1850usd . For starters, the kenya side was perfect, the driver-guide was always on time and did everything he could to make us have a great time and see as many animals as we could as close as possible.
Then it was tanzanias turn. To begin with , the driven wasnt on time as the hotel the first day when we were in arusha( before going to serengeti) . Secondly, we were supposed to do a 3 hours afternoon drive , before restinf at the camp. Not only didnt we do that but in addition on of the girl with whom we were having the safari , asked for a stop to see some hippos, the driver completely ignored her and continued going towards the camp. The driver-guide didnt seem to know how to drive, we stopped multiple times , during our 3 days in tanzania in order for him to find another driver and help him with his gear transmission. He also got lost multiple times going in and out of serengeti park making u turns every time until he finally finds the way. To sum up to this , at our first night at simba a camp in serengeti, regardless the fact that we have seen fire occuring at 17:00 when we reached the camp at 18:30 and we decided to inform the company( which knew nothing about the fire) we full understood the extent of the disaster. The camp was full of gas due to the fire and it was literally impossible to stay there ,beacuse we were only inhaling gas. After multiple messages and phone calls with the company , they told us that the lodge campa are way too expensive to pay(400 usd per person) and that all other camps were full . The result was that we werr forced to sleep there all night,putting our health at risk by the huge amount of gas he inhaled.
The company told ua that the tanzanian part wasnt run by them, but by another partner , the 7wonders, so they cant practically control all things
After returning back in nairobi, we told the office about how terrible the driver in tanzania was( he was a free lancer with 3 more times in the serengeti park as he told us) and about the fire etc and we demanded a compensation at least for the days we lost in Tanzania. They offered us either a day at the giraffe centre in nairobi or 50usd as a compensation.
Regardless the fact that the kenya part was perfect the real reason about this rating is that when you pay 1850usd for a safari in kenya you are hoping for better solutions when a huge problem appears.

Amazing
What an amazing experience just as I hoped it would be ever since I was a child. I really liked my guide (Loth) who was not only patient with me but also hospitable, friendly, and knew exactly where to possibly spot the animals!
A Really amazing adventure that I would cherish for the years to come

Excellent
Our guide Hamis is super nice and knowledgeable and he has a super gps in his head and he has eagle eyes to spot any animals. We are so lucky to collect big five in 4 days and a live lion hunting session. We even saw a lion lying on a rock like the lion king. The rhino was miles away but he still can spot it. Peter is sweet and gave us really special souvenir and help us arrange night game and all itinerary. Frank was very responsive when we were doing enquiry and help us tailor make the most exceptional holiday. Every meal is delicious and authentic local food. Everything is excellent.

Organised operator, unforgettable experience with an incredible guide!
We had the most wonderful time in Kenya on the trip of a life time!
We did a five night safari and visited Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha (walking safari) and Amboseli parks then headed the Diani Beach Resort for a week of relaxation!
Right from the beginning of the experience, Silas was prompt and informative when trying to book our trip. He made adjustments to our itinerary to suit our flights exactly and was able to answer any questions we had.
Our driver and guide Gibson was incredible and helped us see a whole range of incredible wildlife up close. He always checked in with what was best for us along the way and we just cannot believe how much we saw! A particular highlight was seeing the great migration of the wildebeests, elephants at Amboseli and RHINO in Lake Nakuru.
All accommodation (arranged by Apodiformes Adventures) were brilliant! Staff were always friendly and polite, and food was delicious!
We are so grateful for such an amazing experience in Kenya!
Thank you Silas & Gibson

Friendly, flexible, communicative. Created a personalised itinerary that exceeded all expectations
We used Weltweit Adventures to climb Ol Doinyo Lengai and it was amazing! Before we arrived in Tanzania, Baraka was accommodating, responsive, and communicative. We weren’t entirely sure what we wanted to do, and Baraka helped us build a personalised itinerary which fit with the rest of our trip - and was very flexible.
The actual trip was incredible! Not only did we climb Ol Doinyo Lengai, but Baraka had organised for us to visit other beautiful locations around the base of the volcano, including hot springs, waterfalls, and Lake Natron to see the flamingos. We had each of these locations to ourselves - making it even more special. Our accommodation also had amazing views and the staff were super friendly.
During the trip, our local guide Isha, our driver Clement, and Baraka were friendly, professional and knowledgeable. They tried their best to make our experience unforgettable (and succeeded!). They got us up and down the volcano in one piece - even though we found it quite tough!
We would highly recommend using Weltweit Adventures if you want a personal and unique experience. It truly was a trip of a lifetime!
Many thanks to Baraka and team!

Excellent communication well arranged delivered as advertised
The good
We decided to go with a 7 day budget group tour with my 14 year old son in Land Cruiser with other 5 person sharing, Grace was always available with any inquiry or concern replied very promptly, everything was as advertised, Enjoyed Masai Mara park the drive and guide Franchis went out of his way to shows us the animal and his driving was flawless and fast, the accommodation provided was basic at Masai Mara and much better in other places overall we enjoyed seeing so many wildlife, worth what we paid for.
Not so good
since Kenya increased the Masai Mara entrance fee from $80usd per 12 hours per person to $200usd from 2024 I would recommend the similar tour can be taken from Tanzania as long as their price remains at $80 which would save cost, also the food was same on all days basically African food, which can be improved by having more variety

Great experience
Richard is a great guide. He went above and beyond to show us cheetah and leopard. Explained every tit-bits of safari.
The stay at the camp site was pretty relaxed, and peaceful with good amenities. Food was great too. It was a great experience!!

Exciting, satisfying, and worth it!
My wife and i took Home to Africa’s 4-Day Short Vacation to Uganda - Gorilla Trekking Bwindi.
The tour exceeded our expectations. The accommodations were lovely.
Zed our guide was very helpful, informative and funny. He was very animated and always makes sure that the long drives were lively.
The gorilla trek was exhilarating (even with the challenging hike up, haha). Seeing the gorillas up close is really a once in a lifetime experience.
