ATTENTION SCAM!!!
HE DID NOT RETURN US 250$,
We ( me and my wife) booked with Edward Wilson a package safari ( 4 days in Serengeti Ngongoro Lake Manyara 640$ each) +Kilimanjaro ( 2 days 250$ each).
After the end of Safari Edward delayed our Kilimanjaro trekking of one day without asking it in advance to us. For us it was not possible to start the trekking with one day of delay as we had already bought the flight to Zanzibar.
At this point we tried to speak with him, call him and text and we finally met him (one day after the end of our Safari). He refunded us 250$ on that day telling us that he was going to return the remaining 250$ the week after.
We then tried to contact him plenty of times called texted him but no reply was received and his phone was off.
NO RETURN OF 250$ WAS GIVEN!!
STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY

Amazing experience in Masai Mara- Kenya
The tour was well planned and guided. The knowledge of Richard who took us for the 4 days was really commendable . We didn't even realize that we travelled over 1000 kms in 4 days covering Masai Mara, Lake Nivasha and Lake Nakuru. May be some improvement can be done at Lenchada camp with regards to the food. Otherwise no complaints at all. Well organized trip. Before as well as during the trip, the response from Mr Lennox was super fast.

Incredible Safari!
Tony is truly a fabulous guide and creates an amazing safari experience. We got to see a wide range of animals and Tony is fabulous at reading tracks and spotting rare animals. Tony goes above and beyond to ensure your safari is a safe, comfortable, and exciting experience. I would highly recommend booking a trip with Tony and his staff!

The guides, the porters, the owner(former porter) were everything I'd hoped for and more than I had expected. Special thanks to Rasheed, Respick, Bennedict, George and Sabino

Amazing safari that exceeded expectations
Our 6 night safari covering Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha, Amboseli and Diani Beach was a dream come true. From the initial quote to our sad goodbye at the end of the trip everything went very smoothly. Lucy was very easy to communicate with and answered all of my questions quickly making the booking process a very easy one. The personalized service you get with Serene including being greeted at the airport by Lucy herself was greatly appreciated. We booked a private tour and had Symon as our driver. He was amazing. He has so much knowledge about the animals, Kenya, current events or anything else you want to talk about. He never led us astray and with his guidance we had some perfect safari moments such as a lion crossing right beside our van or elephants crossing in front of Mt Kilimanjaro. Since our safari was private Symon was able to make amendments to the schedule as we went along if we wanted to stay longer in one place to contemplate the animals, or change activities around a bit. November was an excellent time to go as well, we saw so many animals out grazing (particularly in Masai Mara) or just hanging out on the side of the road. The budget accommodations included with our tour were all very nice and clean with various charms. Kenya overall was a wonderful country. The people are exceedingly friendly and the food was generally very good. The roads, however, are often dirt roads and can be very bumpy and dusty, and the stretches of paved roads between cities are filled with trucks and the emissions can be very bad. That being said we loved our safari and know we definitely made the right choice booking with Serene East Africa Safaris. I highly recommend them.

Fantastic experience!
I highly recommend Kenya Safari Arcade. Everything was perfect with them. I travelled alone, and they organized the transfer to the airport, the flight and the camp booking. I chose a 3 day safari to Masai Mara and it was wonderful. The flight was the best option for me, because it was a short stay. The camp was beyond my expectations, I stayed at Ilkeliani Camp and it was fantastic. The staff was very kind, the tents were clean, comfortable and very well decorated, as well as common spaces. The food was excellent, I had to congratulate the chef when I left! I was also very lucky with my driver, Joseph was very dedicated and I could see all the big animals! I definitely do the same choice if I go again!

Lifetime Experience! Great Value! 100% Recommendable
We had a great experience with Kenya Budget Safaris!! and we would recommend them a million times!
After some research and looking for affordable Safari companies (which is not so easy) we were so lucky to come across Kenya Budget Safaris.
They are very fair priced especially for people with a lower budget like us, the quote we received was the lowest especially as we did the 8 day tour (Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru & Amboseli) and any other company was totally unaffordable for us.
Esther was very kind and attentive, and super responsive to all our questions and emails we were even able to change the safari dates almost last minute as our plans changed unexpectadly.
During the Safari our driver Patrick was great and very knowledgable, we saw every single animal we expected and more and thanks to the 8 day tour in different parks we saw many different sceneries. Masai Mara was great for all the wildlife, Lake Nakuru for the Rhinos and Amboseli for the great mount Kilimanjaro backgrounds!!
The accomodation and food was great for the price! I wouldn't trade any of the experience and if we ever come back to that part of the world again we would repeat with them for sure!
A Once in a lifetime experience that everyone should do, and with Kenya Budget Safaris it is accesible for everyone!

Excellent operator
The safari organization was impeccable, from the communication here in Italy to the one in Tanzania during the safari. Very competent driver with excellent knowledge of the Italian language. I would highly recommend a safari tour with Safari Explorers and we will definitely go back to them for the future!
