Expert connoisseur of the most famous and hidden places, and of local realities
We left for Italy in four, joined by a companion on site, we took a tour in Tanzania with "Kilimanjaro Sky Safari" with the guide Daniel, a very skilled driver, speaking perfect Italian, as well as many European and local languages. Visit the parks: Ngorongoro, Serengeti, Tarangire, Ndutu. Lake Eyasi, Lake Natron but also unexpected wonders immersed in the forest such as an emerald lake or an incredible waterfall. Visits to Masai villages and hunters' villages. Never seen in other African countries so many wild animals as on this trip. Highly recommended also because it is less expensive compared to other agencies.

I cannot see how to better spend two days in Kenya
I cannot see how to better spend two days in Kenya than booking a trip to Amboseli via African Beast Tours and Safaris.
For those interested, some detailed thoughts below expanding on my experience. For reference, me and my three friends booked a group tour in late October 2024, starting from Nairobi. We ended up being four people in total, as a friendly Portuguese guy also joined us. A disclaimer is that this is my first safari experience, so I have no other point of reference.
Communication and planning:
Ahead of our trip, the communication with African Beast Tours and Safaris was clear, kind and professional, with very fast response times. This was important to us as we started to look for options only a few days before we wanted to go. ABT&S were the first to respond.
They also had the lowest cost that I could find. However I can hardly see what a more expensive option would provide that ABT&S did not.
We opted for budget over luxury, so I was surprised when we arrived on the AA Amboseli lodges and saw the standards. With sophisticated camping tents/cottages (electricity and bathrooms w/showers included), a restaurant, a bar, a pool, and cheeky Vervet monkeys running around, I nearly thought there had been a mistake.
The safari:
Amboseli National Park was simply stunning. Over the span of two sessions, we had nearly constant close encounters with wild, beautiful animals. It felt like teleporting into the Lion King opening scene. The mountain of Kilimanjaro looming on the horizon was the cherry on top.
Our guide Edwin elevated our experience with his knowledge and passion of the animals and their conservation. We decided to rely on him to call the shots on where to go, and it payed off. He drove us around in the park, relying on over-the-radio rumors and experience to take us to the spots with most activity, uncovering one magnificent sight after the other.
A non-extensive list of the animals we met on our way:
Majestic grazers including 100+ elephants, countless zebras, warthogs, Thomson gazelles, giraffes, hippos, Wildebeests, Dik-Dik and (mating) water buffalos. Often seen wandering together.
Spectacular birdlife including 100+ flamingos, eagles, ostriches, secretary birds and pelicans.
And then we were also lucky enough to catch the three major predators in the lion, cheetah and hyena.
It is a special feeling to observe wild animals at close hand.
PS: A tip for photographing the animals with a smartphone is to take some pictures through binoculars. If aimed properly, it will make for some cool shots. We had one pair of binoculars to share provided by our guide, but you might also want to bring some of your own.

A Beautiful Safari with MBwana
Perfect organization with departure and return to Zanzibar, picked up directly from our hotel with flight to Arusha, where MBwana was waiting to accompany us on our private Safari. It was a wonderful trip, a unique experience. The lodges where we stayed where fantastic.
Special Thanks to our driver and friend MBwana, a very kind and competent person.
Mountain Warriors is the best we can recommend for experiencing incredible emotions.
Thank a lot with all my heart.

Once in a lifetime experience with an excellent tourguide
We always felt safe with our guide. Augustino was able to tell us a lot about the animals, their behaviours and the nationalparks we visited. We got an amazing chef who served amazing dishes, whereas all the drinks were included in the tour.

Fantastic four day safari with Johnny our amazing guide
Me and my mum had a fantastic time on Jocky tours, we did the four day one where we visited the Masai Mara and also Nakuru. Johny Jackson was our guide/driver he was amazing, he is very informative and passionate about his job which just makes the trip even better. The trip itself was much more affordable than others which was great and for me personally I don’t think it could’ve gotten any better. The office were very good and communication was good aswel. The pick up and drop off was very smooth and the hotels and camps we stayed at were very nice. Everyone was very kind and helpful and Johny Jackson our guide was excellent. He is very passionate, he made sure we saw all of the big five and gave us great photo opportunities as well as being very informative. He has a good sense of humour which made the trip even more fun. Highly highly recommend
