We loved it.
Being so close to the city it was amazing to see so many wild creatures. The park does not have the numbers other parks do and there are no Elephants there at all. But it can only hold so much with the restricted landscape. They could use an infusion of some species though. And it turned out to be our best place to get close Vulture images.
Lions were seen on every trip in there and it was fun to hang at the waterhole for long periods as many animals come & go. After a three week safari in other parts of the country we did see our only Mamba here !
For anyone who does not have time to visit other parks, it is a great place to go.
It was kind of weird having a Giraffe image with large city building & landing planes in the background.

Review about Kenya by GavinKenya
My third trip there and for me it is the ONLY place I would consider. Not only for the wildlife but for the wonderful people we met along the way. And the lifetime friends I have now.
excellent organisation and fantastic experience
Right from the very first moment of contacting Martha at WWS, all our queries and questions were answered swiftly and in detail. I largely used this company because of their fantastic reviews and the trip certainly lived up to expectations with Phillip as our wonderful guide. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending a trip with WWS.

Park fees nightmare.
Day 1: My husband and I fully paid for a 4 night 5 day safari to Amboseli, Lake Nakuru and Mara.
The park fees was included in the package, but when we arrived at Amboseli our first stop, we were notified that our park fees had not been paid. We therefore had to wait for 30 plus minutes in the heat, while our driver tried to sort out the problem. After multiple unsuccessful attempts to contact out booking agent Peter Ndambuki, we were notified that we had to pay an additional park fees so as to be let into the park!!
Day 2: We were instructed to go by the office enroute to lake Nakuru, to pick up a refund for the park fees we paid on day 1, and additional park fees for Lake Nakuru and Mara trips, this added another one hour plus to our 5 hour plus drive. When we arrived at the office, the money was not ready for pick up and we had to wait for another 30 minutes for the money, despite the fact that the booking agent is the one who scheduled the pick up!! Needless to say, we arrived in Nakuru hungry and tired and only managed to have a very short game drive.
We are waiting to see whether we have a better experience for the next two days, but we don't intend to ever, ever use or recommend this company.

Experience of a Lifetime
My husband and I went for our honeymoon and it truly was an experience of a lifetime! The communication to coordinate our trip was easy, everyone was extremely friendly and the experience was unforgettable! This trip was beyond our expectations and worth every penny! Everyday on our safari was an adventure, we saw something different and exciting everyday. Our ranger and tracker were extremely passionate and knowledgeable about the area and animals. Our hotel lodge and tented camp experienice was also incredible! The service was excellent, food was delicious and everything was very clean! Hotel staff was more than accommodating. I would love to go back and do it again one day. Amazing trip!!!

my experience with wild Africa
Robert could not have been more helpful helping me to select and arrange my trip. Promo with quotes and all information I needed to know for my trip. Nothing was too much trouble. My first flight was cancelled due to a technical problem with the plane. I emailed Robert to find out what to do and he went above and beyond to rearrange my trip to a day later. All worked out great including motswari letting me spend one night in giegers camp at no extra cost. When I arrived at motswari I was told I was staying at giegers camp for the duration of my stay at no extra cost which overwhelmed me. The staff at Geiger's were excellent as well,I was treated very very well. I will without question recommend wild Africa and Robert to anyone who desires a trip to Africa.
Still out of pocket
We had a good, and bad experience with Tembea. Despite paying 50% of our fee more than 3 months prior to travel, we found we had no bookings for our intended itinerary when we arrived in Tanzania in July this year. They appear to have cash flow problems, and only booked when we arrived with the balance of our fee. Luckily it was not peak travel time, and we were able to get into all but one of our intended lodges. However, in Ruaha, we had to pay again for 2 nights as the money transfer had not arrived from Kenya to Tazania, and we are still USD1000 out of pocket, 4 months later.
The safari, and driver were excellent, but not knowing if accommodation was going to be available as promised was a big disappointment, as was the extra cost. I would be very wary using them again, particularly in peak season.
