If you really want to see some animals - just choose Mali Kale Safari!
I'd like to start with the statement that Richard's knowledge was mind-blowing. I don't know if I can that freely drive and know every corner of my home city, like he knew every corner of each park. Of course this resulted in seeing many awesome animals, as Richard knew exactly where to find them. Moreover, he is very observant. The most incredible was fact that he could spot a leopard on a tree from ~2 km distance (we could hardly see it through binoculars).
Richard was very professional and responsible, he took care of everything from the moment when we started our safari in Nairobi to the very end when the driver left us on a last day in Nairobi. He cared so we are everywhere on time, he was very dedicated to work. Richard also has huge knowledge about animals, he could say many interesting things about every animal we've found (or rather he's found ;)). As a Pole I can't also not add that he learnt some Polish, so he was able to tell us names of different animals in our language which I appreciated a lot :)
To sum up, I can recommend Richard as a great safari guide. When going with him you won't be disappointed.

Incredible experience
Me and my partner had the most incredible time !
From the beginning of first contact to the end we were looked after by ramja.
We had the most unforgettable experiences we have ever had .
We had Sammy as our driver, who is an absolutely amazing man, who we felt was family by the end
The days are so jam packed that you feel like you've had multiple days in one, but also very relaxed .. its as if time doesn't apply.
If you're looking to book a safari, look no further than ramja

Brilliant local company that excelled on every level.
We booked with Eco-Africa to climb Kilimanjaro. the following review is from that experience.
Who are we?
We were team AUG (Instagram page). Prior to booking this trip we had never heard of Eco-Africa.
Our criteria for booking a company to climb Kili, was for the company to be a KPAP member and a local business from Tanzania. The rest of it was dates that lined up and professional communication.
We arranged everything with Frederick online, paid the deposit, flew into Tanzania and from that moment on we were treated like rock stars. The whole team, 2 guides, chef and 10 porters were enthusiastic, fun, approachable, fit and keen to make us feel welcome. Nothing was too much trouble. The porters are not just porters, they all have their own specific jobs including Matthew our "waiter' who woke us each morning with hot coffee and was a smiling face at every meal.
Each day we were given a briefing and had a health check completed. Both morning and again every evening.
Prior to leaving camp each morning we knew what to expect and how the day would go.
The food was next level, silver plater service, incredibly tasty and plenty of it.
On summit day, one of us suffered some nausa from the altitude and upon reaching the summit, chose to descend quickly. Eco-Africa sends 2 guides plus an additional experienced porter to the summit so there is flexibility for 2 to assist with the descent, leaving 1 to come down slowly with the remaining client. We saw a few companies with 1 guide and 1 climber struggling to descend quickly as there was no additional support.
Following the end of the climb were taken back to town to shower before being collected for a ceremony back at the office. There was a table on he lawn where we celebrated, enjoyed a last meal together and presented the tips to each member of the team. Some companies do a quick hand over of tips in the carpark with no chance to say thanks and finish on a good note.
A long review but to finish up, Thankyou Eco-Africa and for anyone looking for a great local company, these guys hit the mark on every occasion.

5* Safari
Brilliant safari from start to finish. Our lodge accommodation was lovely. Toilets, showers and comfy beds. One lodge even added hot water bottles to the beds to stop us getting chilly. The food was brilliant. Hot lunch everyday and a 3 course meal every evening. They were able to accommodate our tricky gluten free and vegetarian diets. Mandela our tour guide was very knowledgeable and we were able to see the big 5 and more! He also accommodated extra toilet stops which was a big worry knowing we'd be in the jeep for long periods. We all had a window seat in the jeep and Mandela ensured we all had a view of the animals. Fantastic trip thank you very much Suricata safaris we would 100% recommend you to our friends and family. This tour we definitely value for money but don't forget to budget for the tips.

Superb Suricata Safari!
Incredible experience with Suricata Safari from start to finish! Everything was excellently organised and all of our requests were dealt with, including provided gluten-free and vegetarian food options.
Our guide Mandela was amazing, very accommodating and knowledgeable and always able to put us in the perfect spot for photos - we were able to see the big five and so much more!
Unbelievable food provided throughout from Saleem (cooked local food provided for lunch whereas other tours has sandwiches!)
Ilfam also took us on a brilliant Materuni waterfall and coffee excursion and was a great guide, before dropping us back at the airport.
Also great service from Daniel and Mr.T
Highly recommend Suricata Safari!

Superb Suricta Safari Tour
This 5-day safari tour was a perfect balance of adventure, wildlife viewing, and relaxation. Tanzania’s beauty is staggering, and the abundance of wildlife makes every moment exciting.
Whether you’re an avid photographer, a nature enthusiast, or simply looking for a once-in-a-lifetime experience, I highly recommend this tour. Each park we visited had its own charm, and the memories we made will last a lifetime.
Suricata Safari went above and beyond for the entirety of our stay and made every single moment special. Mandela was extremely good throughout the entire experience and really showcased his experience, knowledge and passion for everything safari & had no issue accommodating plenty of toilet stops or spotting a pack of lions whilst driving, giving information & checking the vehicle was safe. Mandela made it his personal mission to ensure we saw the big 5 and he certainly didnt fail!
The food was exeptional at all sites and throughout the safari, with a cooked meal for lunch everyday without fail! - with 2 vegetarians & a ceolaic (gluten free) this was no small task.
The only tour guide to use! - excellent execution & organisation from Start to finish!

Unforgettable Kenyan Safari: A Perfect Family Adventure with African Flash McTours
I recently had the pleasure of embarking on an unforgettable safari adventure in Kenya with my fourteen-year-old daughter, organized by African Flash McTours & Travel. From the moment we landed, the entire experience was smooth and professional, thanks to our tour consultant, Eston Manegene, and our phenomenal guide, Simon.
Simon's expertise and passion for the wildlife and local culture truly elevated the trip. He had an incredible eye for spotting animals and shared fascinating insights into the ecosystem and Masai Mara'sMara's rich history. Whether it was our first exhilarating game drive or witnessing the majestic lion pride, Simon ensured we had front-row seats to the magic of the African savanna.
Our accommodations within the Masai Mara National Reserve were comfortable and a sanctuary amidst the wild beauty. Every detail—from the delicious meals to the stunning landscapes—was well-coordinated, ensuring a relaxing and enjoyable stay. Highlights of the trip included the iconic migration of wildebeests, a serene balloon safari, and a heartwarming visit to a traditional Masai village, where we were welcomed with songs and dances that left a lasting impression.
African Flash McTours provided exceptional service, ensuring our safety and comfort at every step. Simon's guidance made this experience one that I would highly recommend to anyone looking to explore the wild beauty of Kenya. Every moment was well-paced, safe, and thrilling—a perfect adventure for families or anyone eager to immerse themselves in nature.
This is an excellent choice for anyone considering a safari. You'll leave with memories to treasure for a lifetime!

Amazing people
Everything was great our guides in Zanzibar and also in the Safari was awesome. But specially Lawrence, our guide in safari.
Was very good man. He knows everything about the nature, he was a lovely guy. We had fun with him. We love to have discussions about everything.
I will suggest everyone to go in Tanzania with Professional Safari but please ask for Lawrence. You will have an amazing experience.

Great tour operator, very accommodating and helpful and set up a great tour.
Full Package Adventures set up a custom mid-range cost tour for my daughter and me that included 3 parks for safari followed by a trip to Zanzibar. Our safari guide, Gilbert, was wonderful! Knowledgeable, accommodating, great English, easy to be with. We highly recommend him. We haven’t finished our tour yet but Eileen’s Tree Inn was lovely. We would recommend Full Package Adventure tour company. Thought the service was great and they were a good value for the money.
