Amazing
My safari in Nairobi was absolutely unforgettable. Just minutes from the city center, Nairobi National Park offered a rare blend of urban skyline and wild savannah. We spotted lions, giraffes, rhinos, and even a cheetah—all in their natural habitat! Our guide was knowledgeable and made the whole experience exciting and educational. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a local, this safari is a must-do. Truly a unique adventure right at the doorstep of a bustling city!

Amazing Safari at Ol Pejeta
We had an amazing time on our Ol Pejeta day trip!
We absolutely loved Ol Pejeta Conservancy — such a beautiful and unique place, and getting to see the wildlife up close was truly unforgettable.
Our driver and guide, David, was exceptional. He went above and beyond to ensure we had the best experience possible — from helping us spot animals to making the whole day feel relaxed and enjoyable. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly accommodating. We’d definitely recommend him for any future tours!
Skywide tours was a great help with organising and booking everything — we really appreciated how smooth and easy they made the whole process.

Seamless Travel Experience
My wife and I (party of 2) booked with Yama for a 4 day visit to the Oma Valley with 2 days in Addis Ababa on the back end. We were there late June, early July. This is low season but for us it was the perfect time. Dry, generally cool weather with no mosquitos. Yama arranged for a guide and driver throughout the tour. In Oma valley we visited six villages, each substantially unique and helping us get a picture of rural life in Ethiopia. The villages we went to were clearly used to visitors and derived income from visits, but I never felt like we were going to a “show” village, which had been a concern that I had before the trip. I would say that a visitor needs a full day in Addis Ababa but probably no more than 2 days. For us, this was not a trip to see animals but we saw some baboons, monkeys and small game. Domestic airfare and lodging in towns in the local area (3 different towns) was included and satisfactory.

Fast response to all questions
Great tour with a great guide, wildlife is not like a zoo but our guide find the right spot in the right moment every day. He pays attention to our necessity and was always available for all requests. His car was well maintained and every day cleaned as possible. He helped us to find animals when we didn't see them and give us more information as he can every time.

An Unforgettable, Thoughtfully Planned Family Adventure
We can't thank Jairos Adventure enough for helping us create an unforgettable, multi-generational family trip to Tanzania. From start to finish, they were professional, warm, and truly responsive to our needs. They tailored the entire experience with care—accounting for everything from the type of vehicle to thoughtful cultural touches that made the journey uniquely ours.
Our group ranged in age and needs, but the team made sure everyone felt comfortable and included. They were flexible with last-minute schedule adjustments and even coordinated a special surprise—camp staff singing to welcome my father-in-law after he took a needed rest day. It brought him to joyful tears and remains one of our most cherished moments.
This was a bucket-list trip for my in-laws, and seeing them so moved—crying tears of joy—was something we’ll never forget. Thanks to our excellent driver/guide, we saw the full Big 5, the wildebeest migration, and had meaningful cultural encounters. Even when one of our accommodations fell short, the owner of the company personally came to ensure it was addressed properly—something that speaks volumes about their dedication to their clients.
If you’re looking for a company that truly customizes your experience, cares deeply about the details, and treats you like family, look no further. We’re beyond grateful for the memories they helped us create.

A Magical Safari with Matala Safari Company
Our adventure to Murchison Falls National Park with Matala Safari Company was nothing short of extraordinary. From the very beginning, everything was thoughtfully planned and smoothly executed, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the beauty and wonder of Uganda’s wild landscapes.
We enjoyed both morning and evening game drives, where we were lucky enough to spot an amazing wildlife from elephants, buffalos, giraffes to lions and antelope. The guide was professional, knowledgeable, and made every drive feel like a new discovery.
The boat ride along the Nile brought us up close to hippos, crocodiles, and stunning birdlife before arriving at the base of the falls. From there, we embarked on a hike to the top of Murchison Falls, it was as beautiful as it was scenic.
But our favorite moment of the entire trip? Having breakfast at the top of the falls. Surrounded by mist, sunlight, and the thunderous roar of the water below, it was a magical, once in a century lifetime experience that left us speechless.
We also loved the zip-lining, which added a fun and adventurous twist to an already incredible journey.
Matala Safari Company gave us more than just a trip they gave us memories that will last a lifetime. We can’t recommend them enough for anyone seeking a well-organized, deeply memorable safari.

Excellent tour
The company was reliable. The tour price was very reasonable with good accommodations. We visited Maarai Massa NP, Navaisha lake and Lake Nakuru NP. Lake Nakuru was not as good as our expectations. I would recommend to spend time at Navaisha lake and the Hell’s Gate in instead of Lake Nakuru.

An unforgettable adventure
From the moment we booked, Giz Maasai Safaris made everything easy and stress-free. Our guide, Jackson, was fantastic, incredibly passionate and full of local knowledge. We had enough of time for photos, breaks, and exploration. Giz Maasai Safaris is simply the best.

Authentic and personal experience!
This was our first time visiting Kenya—and Africa—so naturally, we had a lot of questions, some concerns, and too many options. After speaking with several tour operators and reviewing multiple itineraries, we ultimately chose Shanjoy Tours and Safaris, and we’re so glad we did.
They were incredibly patient, proactive, and responsive to our many queries. Despite booking on short notice, they worked around all our constraints to design a personalized itinerary that gave us the best possible safari experience.
Masai Mara was an amazing experience. It is a wonderful park with animals all aroumd.Our guide for the Masai Mara, Nelson, was fantastic—his enthusiasm was contagious, and thanks to his skill and energy, we saw all the big game, including the elusive leopard. Do ask for him :-)
Amboseli was another highlight. Though smaller than other parks, it offered a more intimate viewing experience. Our guide there was engaging and knowledgeable, and provided lots of tid bits about animals. However, the roads in Amboseli are quite rough with frequent potholes, and we felt a newer Land Cruiser safari vehicle would have made the drives more comfortable. At Amboseli, the jeep did not have the 2 binoculars either.
Special thanks to Patrick and Martin on the front office team, who were warm, professional, and committed to making our trip unforgettable.
