Review about Serengeti National Park by Antal Bekefi
Vast area of land, few trees therefore excellent visibility. Millions of animals. Wherever you go, wherever you look, lots of animals. You don't meet a lot of other vehicles as the park is huge and the vehicles are not concentrated. We have seen leopard, cheetah, endless amount of wildebeests, zebras, antelopes, lions, elephants, black rhino, hypos, eagles, ostriches, hyenas, vultures, etc. Stayed at Signature Serengeti Luxury Tented Safari Camp which I highly recommend.

Review about Tarangire National Park by Antal Bekefi
One of the smaller parks, we saw lots of elephants, lion, eagle, giraffes, zebras, antelopes, monkeys, different birds. It is a mix of the beautiful baobab trees and bushes. Nice picnic area, relatively close to Arusha.

Review about Amboseli National Park by Martin Bell
If you want to see Elephants - there's no better place in Kenya. With the iconic backdrop of Mount Kilimanjaro, what's not to like. Lions and Cheetah with an hour of entering the park.

Review about Lake Nakuru National Park by Martin Bell
Generally more wooded than the other parks visited, but it gave the safari a different feel - much more of an exploration, but some iconic wildlife - pink Flamingos, Rhino's, Giraffes, etc.

Review about Masai Mara National Reserve by Martin Bell
The classic site - though without the great migratory herds of Wilderbeest and Zebra, it didn't fail to deliver. Leopard and cub feeding up a tree, a large pride of Lions on a kill. Wow

Review about Lake Manyara National Park by Arisa
There wasn't as much life here as I expected. We also did a canoe safari the afternoon we were here. It was a nice break from being in the jeep.

Review about Serengeti National Park by Arisa
This is the classic landscape I picture when I think of Africa -- the open plains dotted with acacia trees. Loved seeing the big cats and all the elephant herds.

Review about Tarangire National Park by Arisa
There are definitely a lot of elephants here, but the landscape isn't as captivating as the Serengeti.

Jan, owner of Ajabu Adventures had every detail of our 4 week trip worked out to perfection.
My wife and I spent 4 weeks visiting the beautiful country of Tanzania. Jan, the owner of Ajabu Adventures talked to us several times making sure the trip he was planning for us was customized by mixing a bit of down time, luxury accommodations and a fantastic mix of national parks and safaris. Every detail went without a hitch, from domestic flights to pick ups at the various airports to meeting us personally at the beginning and the end of our amazing adventure. All of the guides we had, had so much knowledge about the flora, fauna, history and the Tanzanian cultures. It was quite the learning experience, like something out of National Geographic. We had the pleasure of having Juma as our personal guide for 10 days. He is a prince of a man and was very well prepared and on time for everything. His respect for the environment and the animals was unprecedented and meant a lot to us both. If you are looking for a well planned out, safe, fun and exciting adventure I would not hesitate to recommend Ajabu Adventures. Thank you so much for an amazing experience!

The lion isn't the only king of the bush
My partner and I both agree that this was the best trip we have ever done, a life-changing experience that you absolutely have to do if you love wildlife.
Meektrails was on time, professional and had excellent communication. From the time we were picked up and through the entire trip everything went smoothly and they went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed and taken care of. Compared to all the other tour operators we spoke to, Meektrails offered a lot better rates which we found more than fair and we loved the quality of the lodges they had booked for us.
The true highlight of our trip was our guide John, a legendary guide whose professionalism and expertise are what made our trip what it was. He's very passionate about seeing animals and told us to get ready early (he would always be ready much earlier than agreed so we never once had to wait for him) and we were always the first ones in the park. He never rushed us, and ensured we took our time, and his enthusiasm to find the animals was contagious. He is well-connected and made efforts to find out from other guides what was going on in the park from other guides staying at lodges and this allowed us to plan our routes and entry points to find the best action, a lot of the other jeeps we encountered in the parks said they had not seen many of the animals we had because of our intel. If your primary goal is to see the most amazing wildlife action you can, then John is the man you want in your corner.
We saw every animal on our bucket list and loads of big cats every single safari day, we also saw a lot of hunting action, lions ambushing wildebeest and cheetahs hunting warthogs. We even saw leopards 3 times and a cub and mother (only ours and a couple of other jeeps found this). The best action was at Masi Mara and Amboseli.
