Great safari for two Chileans!
We had a fantastic experience visiting Maasai Mara with Earthwings Tour, and Martin was the perfect guide for us. From the start, he made us feel welcome and well taken care of. He’s kind, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what he does.
Martin was fully committed to helping us spot the Big Five — and he accomplished the mission! Thanks to his experience and sharp eye, we were able to see all of them, along with so many other amazing animals.
The park itself is breathtaking — way beyond what we expected — and Martin made sure we got the most out of every moment. This trip was truly special for my wife and me, and we’re so grateful to Martin for making it unforgettable. We highly recommend him and Earthwings Tour to anyone visiting Kenya!

Amazing
I did a 5-day mid-range safari with Suricata Safari and it was truly a dream. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and each animal encounter brings a different kind of thrill. I was amazed by how well everything was organized: the meals and accommodations were impeccable. The nights in the tent, right in the middle of the savannah, were surreal experiences and definitely one of the highlights of the trip. My expectations were already high, but they still managed to exceed them. I highly recommend it.

We had a wonderful experience seeing all the animals in Kruger Park.
We are a retired Asian couple from the USA. We went in early June to Kruger National Park. The weather was excellent. The number of tourists was small and of no hinderance. The people were very kind and cheerful. The children were respectful, which is a reflection of their good upbringing and culture. We felt safe and comfortable walking in Hazyview. Our tour with Elephant Herd Tours & Safaris was excellent. I cannot imagine a better driver than the one we had. His eyesight was amazing. He could spot a needle in a haystack. I would recommend a tour rather than self-drive, to note that we almost never ever join tours. It was all amazing. We rented a car and visited Bourke's Luck Potholes which was unique and interesting. We also went to Three Rondavels View Point with its beautiful views.

Amazing landscapes and nice people a perfect place to watch wildlife...
We visited many parcs here. We had in mind to watch the great migration as well among the big five (of course).
Probably we were blessed by some god, as we had the opportunity to watch it all.
Besides we chose the right partner (local) to taker care of us....

They were very knowledgeable and went out of their way to so we can have a memorable experience
We had an amazing 8-day safari through Kenya and Tanzania with Splendid Vacations, covering Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara, Serengeti (North & Central), Ngorongoro, and Amboseli. The entire experience was seamless and unforgettable!
Alice did a fantastic job planning the trip—super responsive, patient, and detail-oriented. All our accommodations were excellent, blending comfort with the authentic safari feel.
Special thanks to our guides, Masila (Kenya) and Tony (Tanzania), for their incredible wildlife knowledge and perfect positioning for photography. Thanks to them, we saw the Big Five, cheetah kills, the Great Migration, and so much more.
Highly recommend Splendid Vacations—they made our dream safari a reality!

The feeling of being in the middle of nowhere away from everything in a magical setting
A real success for this 5-day safari in the Tarengire, the Serengeti and the Ngorogoro. We let ourseft our ways by a top organization that made this trip magnificent. Festo our guide shared with us his knowledge of Tanzanian culture and wildlife. He is a very respectful person of the customer, incredibly kind and very punctual. We were able to see all the animals in beautiful settings thanks to their daily involvement to please us and meet our expectations. The lodges were very good and the 2 nights in the Magical serengeti.

Professional and helpful with email queries responded to promptly and clearly.
From start to finish we were made to feel that everything was under control and we had nothing to worry about. This was just what we needed being safari newbies. Chief, our guide and his crew made sure we didn’t want for anything and made sure we got the experience of a lifetime. Trust me…we did.
From sighting our first elephant shaking the tree to a lion roaring all within 3 metres of our vehicle to sighting 2 leopards, lions and cubs eating after a zebra kill, being on the trail of the endangered wild dogs to seeing a porcupine. Plus so many other animals and birds to numerous to mention.
Our camp was always ready on arrival and campfires burning when the day was done and to warm us up before our sunrise outings.
Our crew came to be known as Team Botswana.
The boat trips on the delta, Chobe and Zambesi rivers were equally enjoyable.
The whole trip was making memories one after the other, seeing a daily way of life so different from our own, plus seeing new sights every day.
Chief made sure we got to see and do what we wanted, stopping to allow us to take photos of hippos and giraffes for the “hundredth” time.
Chief and his team were a delight and so easy to get on with. Team Botswana wanted for nothing.

Beautiful experience in Uganda
We spent 1 week in Uganda and it was amazing. We did 3 trekking: chimpanzees, gorillas and golden monkeys. Our guide, Julius, has been perfect from the beginning to the very end, always kind and helpful. We never felt unsafe. His knowledge about Uganda and the parks’ staffs made everything running smoothly and our gorilla’s family was just amazing.
We highly recommend having a trip with him

Just everything perfect and super helpful people.
We went on a 3-day safari organized by Ruth. She was super helpful in everything, always on call for any questions. She helped us a lot. Simon, our guide, was great and showed us every animal. He explained and taught us many new things. It was truly a breathtaking experience and I recommend Serengeti National Park to everyone. Thanks again to the whole team!
