An amazing Safari with a brilliant guide.
We had a brilliant safari with Native Afrika Voyages. It was a truly amazing and unforgettable experience that we will certainly remember for the rest of our lives. Cyrus was the perfect driver and tour guide, his knowledge of Nairobi, Nakuru, and the Maasai Mara was truly amazing. It was fascinating learn about his country and it's wildlife from an expert like him.
Cyrus was also a brilliant driver, especially considering some of the long days he had behind the wheel and the very challenging roads he drove on. He certainly worked incredibly hard for us, and for that we are immensely grateful.
His ability to track animals in Nakuru and the Maasai Mara was unbelievable. On numerous occasions he was able to get us into amazing spots to view and take photos of the animals from incredibly close up. He also knew some good and relatively secluded spots to view the animals away from other tour vehicles. We were lucky enough to see every animal we wanted to over the four days (Lions, Leopard, Cheetahs, Elephants, Rhinos, Eagles, Zebras, Hippopotamus etc).
Cyrus was always very hospitable and funny, and very good at communicating.
He had our full confidence for the whole trip, and was very pragmatic and competent when dealing with any little issues we had.
All the accommodation we stayed at was fantastic, full of very kind, helpful and hospitable staff. The bike ride, boat tour, walking safari and walk were all fantastic and made us feel fully immersed in the safari experience.
We have absolutely no complaints about Cyrus or Native Afrika Voyages. If we were to come back to Kenya for another Safari, we would certainly choose Native Afrika again and would very much hope to have Cyrus as our guide.

This was our third and best safari. Kotia is an amazing tour operator.
Our safari started in Nairobi. The moment we exited the airport, we were met by the Kotia representative. He accompanied us during our two days in Nairobi.
After two nights in Nairobi, we flew to Kilimanjaro where we set out on our tour of Tanzania. We spent time in the national parks of Tarangire and Serengeti as well as the Ngorongoro Conservation area. By the mid-point of our safari, we had seen all of the "Big Five" - lions, elephants, leopards, cape buffalo and rhinoceros. Some of these animals were seen daily while some were more elusive.
Every single detail was looked after. The transportation (land and air) was comfortable and on time. The accommodation and meals were terrific. Most important, the wildlife and the breathtaking scenery as well as the visit to the tribal village, will stay in our minds forever.
The Kotia staff are extremely knowledgeable and their communication skills helped us to learn about this wonderful part of planet earth. Our questions related to all things natural - animals, birds, insects, customs, landscape and more.
The staff at the camps and lodges made us feel welcome, appreciated and safe - even on the day when three lions were resting less than 100 feet from our "tent".
Thank you Kotia for this truly marvelous experience.

Albert was very nice and professional, the tour was amazing. He really loves his job and was very passionated about the animals and the Infos he gave us.
The organization was perfectly planned. From pick up to drop off we had an amazing time. They even offered us soft drinks the whole day.
Would recommend it to everyone

Amazing Experience!!
I had a really great time with Suricata Safaris!! There are so many different companies out there and I'm glad that I have picked them. Communication before the trip was great and they even managed it to get me on a different group on very short notice.
The safari it self was amazing too! We saw so many animals and our guide just knew the good spots and also left no wishes open. I would totally go again with Suricata Safaris and will actually book some other day trips with them for the rest of my trip. Thank you Suricata Safaris :)

Excellent Tours
We had a great time, over 4 days between Mikumi and Ruaha parks, lots of wildlife to see and all of it expertly explained by our guide, Soloniki. He and our driver Peter put great efforts into ensuring we found the animals we wanted to see and that made all the difference. Would thoroughly recommend to take a safari under their guidance, it was a 5-star experience! Also special mention to our coordinator Winnie who was extremely helpful from the first moment of booking through to the last moment where we parted ways with Kihindo staff. We would certainly safari again with them.

Fantastic team of people who will go above and beyond to ensure you have the trip of a lifetime
I was recently on a 4 day, 3 night safari from Nairobi with Jocky Tours. Richie was our driver and I would highly recommend requesting him as your driver. He made sure we saw everything we wanted to see, he answered every question (I had one question in 4 days he couldn't answer and he came back the next day with the answer having looked it up the night before!) He is an excellent driver and got us into the best positions to get fantastic photos. He is hugely knowledgeable on the different animals and birds you will see as you travel through the beautiful country.
The camp we stayed in run by Helen and her team was perfect, they looked after us very well. The hotel on the third night couldn't do enough for us even putting on entertainment after dinner. I would return in a heartbeat and Richie and Jocky Tours would be the first call I made to book my trip.

Great guys
It was a unique experience. Winnie helped us with the booking and explained how the Safari worked, she was always very helpful. The guys, Saloniki and Jackson, who were with us during the whole Safari were friendly, helpful and ready to answer any of our questions, always ready to immortalize every moment of this fantastic experience. I would choose Kihindo Safar Tours again for a Safari.
