Professional and friendly
Our tour guide , kikitu, is so engaging and friendly, and we luckily saw 4 of the big 5. That’s really a fantastic experience. We also learned a lot of animals knowledge and things about migration. It’s a great choice and 3 days is quite enough.

Fantastic efficient company
We did safari in mikumi national park last week, our guide William was just brilliant, entertaining, and extremely knowledgeable about everything in the park. The accommodation was better than I expected. Over all I would rate Camp Lilac Mikumi 10out of 10.

My guide was effortlessly kind, very helpful and extremely knowledgeable!
My experience with Karibu Tens Tours was absolutely wonderful. The accommodations are such a plus! Everything from camping set ups, knowledge about animals, making sure we were all safe during our travels, providing excellent food, laughter and many many more. I would recommend to anyone interested doing Safari to book with Karibu Tena. Warm faces and many moments I will never forget.

Excellent Experience Beginning to End
Our experience with Shanjoy for a private 12-day tour across Kenya and Tanzania was excellent beginning to end.
Communication was always clear, reliable, and prompt from the initial quote email through to booking through to actually being on safari. I really appreciated during the initial booking phase that Shanjoy gave me time and space to consider the options and never made me feel pressured. When I asked for changes to the itinerary, they were done quickly and accurately. The lodges that Shanjoy selected were great — good food, great service, clean and comfortable rooms, and excellent locations inside the parks. Shout out to Rodah for all of her support.
On safari, our driver in Kenya was Patrick. Patrick was fantastic. He was a perfect mix of informative when we asked questions, but also let us have space so we never felt awkward and pressured to maintain a conversation. He is a very genuine and nice person so conversations with him were very natural. He is a very competent driver and a good wild life spotter with over 20 years of experience. I also appreciated that he was respectful of the animals while getting you close up viewings. The vehicle was clean, comfortable, and reliable. No major breakdowns (and the one minor breakdown Patrick had fixed in 10 mins).
Transferring vehicles at the border of Kenya-Tanzania was smooth. Eric was our driver in Tanzania (Mama Savanna is Shanjoy’s partner company). Eric was a top notch wildlife spotter and a great driver. Again, the vehicle was clean, comfortable, and we had no issues or breakdowns.
Overall, I highly recommend Shanjoy. Next time we are back, we’ll be booking again with them.

Fantastic experience
A fantastic wildlife experience in the heart of Tanzania's natural parks.
The trip was a complete success, leaving us with unforgettable memories.
Our guide Mustapha was extraordinary. His knowledge of the parks, the animals and the many anecdotes told along the way enabled us to enjoy the trip to the full.
Thank you Mustapha!

Well arranged safari with superb driver Denis. Caring, friendly and reliable for solo traveler.
As a female solo traveler who came the 1st time to Afica, Stephen as the tour coordinator is very reponsive and patient, and Denis as the driver is the key man to fulfill all my dream and made the whole tour wonderful and fun.
Stephen always reply my requests and questions promptly, no matter it's related to the tour or about the safty issue. He Even texted me to care my flight, accomodation and everything readiness before and after safari tour. Even later i found the optional activity price such as balloon safari, Boat drive in Lake Naivasha was quoted much higher than other travel agency, the tour experience was still satisfying.
The driver and tour guide Denis is very friendly, caring and professional. He delitently introduce the animal trait, habits, so as the culture, language, and whater we passed by during the road trip. I can feel his sincere love to the animals and the land which make me feel so much warm. Everyday he will confirm with me for tour schedule next day, and is very flexible if i have extra request to adjust. He is always on time with very clean vehicle every morning, as we know it's super dusty even muddy whenever going through a safari.
He is friendly and generous to share everything with me including his wifi, binocular, snack and soda :D he is more like a true friend instead of just a tour guide. i bet everyone will like him very much if you have trip with him.

The most amazing safari experience we ever could have imagined
We did a 7 day 6 night safari from Maun to Kasane. 2 nights Moremi NP, 2 nights Kwai and 2 nights Savuti. Our camp team were fabulous.
Our tour guide, Kem went above and beyond to ensure we enjoyed a maximum experience. Many close encounters with all the animals we expected to see, and some we weren’t sure we would see, including lion, leopard, cheetah, African wild dog. His ability to track animals was exceptional and his knowledge of the animals, birds and bush was impressive. Sunset drinks with stunning vistas.
Tal was our chef, producing an excellent array of well balanced meals in the middle of Africa with a very happy, joyful disposition. The hot porridge on those cold mornings was so good.
Slo was are camp manager, setting up camp the most comfortable, efficient camp areas. Our tent size allowed enough space so not to feel claustrophobic with a camp bathroom/toilet attached. Camp fires every night under the stars listening to lions roar and hyenas wail are memories I will never forget
I would make two changes to our safari that being flying into Moremi NP from Maun and flying out from Savuti to Kasane for the Chobe River cruise to finish the safari. Both the beginning and end with so many hours sitting in the back of a safari vehicle being wind blasted were very difficult to tolerate.
