Animals & ridiculous vistas: our safari to Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro & Manyara was magical!
As nature lovers and outdoors folks, my buddies and I from Seattle were wildly impressed by guide Dave Thadeus. Not only was he able to get us right up to every animal one would hope to see, but his enthusiasm for African ecology was infectious. He was able to answer our countless dumb questions and cater to our weird requests. We've done a few African safaris now, and I can tell you, Dave's a pro. His humble expertise and friendly demeanor is exactly what you want in a guide.
Well planned, organised and everything was just as it should it was supposed to be
Paul planned the trip with us suggesting places and lodges to visit and stay. His personal suggestions proved to be the highlight of the trip and his suggestions for lodges where fantastic. The whole trip went like clockwork and we were helped without fuss from one location to the next.
If you go to Southern Tanzania the Ruaha is a must and Ikuka Camp is the place to stay. This was so much more than I expected and I had high expectations. But its was just fantastic.
Pauls organisation planning and support was fantastic. All done by email but always there to help. Thank You

Very reliable and extremely hospitable.
Jibha organised everything for us. Our stay, transfers, amazing accommodation, the best activities and not to be mention an entire destination wedding for 120 people.
They were like extended family. Patrick and his team are doing a great job.

A wonderful and very well organized Safari experience
Got to Arusha without having any plan on what to do. Then luckily James found me (he is very well connected with Arusha's backpackers place).
My budget was low but we worked out a 3 nights / 4 days Safari (Tarangire NP, Serengeti NP, Ngorongoro crater). After negotiating really hard (sorry James!) I got a price that was more than fair for what I have experienced in the parks. All people involved (James, the driver and the chef) communicated very clear and also all what was discussed has been met as per arrangement. Even after the Safari James helped me to book the right bus to Kigali. In conclusion this was a five star service! Thanks to big5voyage.

My first trip to Africa!
I am finaly back home and relaxed after the fabulous long trip to Kenya.
I am writing you to express the impressions of the first 6 days (safari) which Kenya Budget Safaris organized for me and my friends.
We all agree that everything was beyond our expectations. The profesionalism of Edwin (our driver and guide) was the sixth which have been added to the big five! So friendly and with great knowledge of the wild life he have been the best guide that could we ask for!
The lodges where excellent.
Thank you so much for making our dream come true with your excellent behavior and profecionalism!!!

the team was very friendly and accommodating, familiar with wildlife and explained it so well!
fabulous! we enjoyed every moment of it! It is also a local company which makes it worthwhile as they are truly familiar with the region and could recommend other fun activities to participate in during our stay in Tanzania

A fantastic tour with excitement and adventure
We found everything to be first class and professional. One improvement would be a P A system in the tour truck, at the end of the tour our tour guide informed us that kiboko was looking at that in the near future, "brilliant"
Our tour guide, Dumi Nkomo, was the best, he made our tour one to remember for ever. We are happy to refer to him as a friend, our whole group warmed to him from the start, by the end we were best of friends. We could not have asked for a better tour guide, he was educated, informative and knowledgeable in all aspects of the tour, of Africa, of all the animals we saw plus including all cultural traditions throughout the southern parts of Africa

Very professional in giving us information and the overall of the safari.
My partner and I felt the service as well as communications was of 5 star quality.
The Safari itself was an amazing adventure of a lifetime.
Would highly recommend to any of our friends.

A flawless journey with Kenya Walking Survivors
The manager Mr.Otieno organised a flawless tour for us and our driver/guide Ibrahim did his best for us to enjoy the trip. It was relatively short tour (1 day in Lake Nakuru, 3 days in Maasai Mara) but we saw all big 5 and many other animals. We even saw 2 male lions (which is difficult to see actually) after hunting a buffalo. We highly reccomend Kenya Walking Survivors to everyone.
