Lilian made our family experience unforgettable
Lilian with HBT was so flexible and responsive. Working with her was very easy and she took everything I requested and made it happen. My family of 11 ranging from adolescents to elderly spent a week in Kenya. Lilian made sure that we had very nice resorts to stay in while in Nairobi and on safari. She started our local experience with a concierge service (3ppl) who met us at the gate when we arrived in Nairobi and supported through customs process and baggage retrieval! That was a surprise and so appreciated!! She arranged for our driver to be with us whenever we needed. The Trademark suites hotel in Nairobi was beautiful!! She selected an all suites property that allowed the different families to have larger rooms and spread out. We stayed there before and after our safari experience. We opted to fly into the Maasai Mara rather than take the 5 hour bumpy drive and we were so glad we did that!! I highly recommend to anyone to fly if you can. The hotel secured our large luggage while we took duffle bags on safari (weight restrictions for planes). We saw some animals from the sky on our decent to the airstrip; so cool!! The lodge, Mtito Safari Lodge, was not one they had used before but it was very nice!! The staff was so attentive and responsive to our every request! They had security to walk us around the camp from dusk to dawn and very early one morning we actually heard a lion eating breakfast near our tents. Needless to say, we stayed quiet until he was done and security said it was ok to come out. It was the first time a lion had been near the camp. The road from the main road to the Mtito Lodge was very bumpy after the rain that occurred the night before our arrival; it would be great if dirt could be brought in to fill deep rivets but our driver in the Mara (who was with us the whole time there too) was an expert. He drove us around in the Mara and found everything!! We saw lions, cheetah, elephants (right up on us!), zebras, giraffes, wildebeest (we were there one week before the migration), herds of buffalo, baboons, etc etc, Such an expert safari guide!!
Lilian was super flexible and available the entire time of our trip via whats app which was helpful bc we had flight delays from the US and retiring from the Mara which caused Nairobi plans to be adjusted both times.
We will definitely go back to Kenya!! And will definitely work with Lilian and HBT again!! Next time Seychelles!!

Beautiful wonderful
We went on a safari through Tarangire National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater, and it was an unforgettable experience! Everything was perfect thanks to our guide Gideon: such a special person—friendly, kind, always helpful, and with a truly good heart. He made us feel at home and shared his passion for nature and wildlife with us.
Gideon knows every corner of the parks and gave us unique moments, explaining so many interesting facts and always finding the best spots to see the animals up close.
We highly recommend him to anyone who wants to experience a real safari with a guide who makes you feel part of an amazing adventure. Thank you so much, Gideon, you are the best!

The big five in just two days
This was our first safari experience and we will never forget it. Everything was excellent, from the time we contacted Boris we have been followed step by step with all our requests. When we arrived at Seronera Airstrip we met Jose, our driver and tour guide. He went far and beyond to meet our needs, from the service received during the trip to the organizational aspects. We managed to see all the big five within
just two days (out of three). Really recommended. Be sure we will choose Akondo Adventure again for another Safari trip. Thank you!

Gosheni is the best safari operator in Tanzania!
We started planning our safari a year ago and looked in to the usual companies that did upscale safaris. The prices they quoted were ridiculous. Then we found Gosheni after an internet search. Gosheni was remarkable from the second we contacted them. Norah helped us to create our own private safari, in which we visited Arusha, Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and the Serengeti over 10 days. She was always responsive by email when we had questions.
William A. David (our AMAZING guide) greeted us at the Kilimanjaro Airport. He was with us the entire time and was so knowledgeable and friendly. He knew our priority was seeing as many animals as possible and he delivered. We had seen the Big 5 by day 3. Our final lion count at the end was 74. William patiently answered all our questions about animals, Tanzania, and his life. We feel he has now become a friend.
Gosheni provides a hot picnic lunch most days and our lunches looked way better than the sad boxed lunches of others. We even had beer and wine. In addition, William always kept the cooler full of water, beer, and Coke Zero for us.
We strongly recommend Gosheni!!! And, make sure you ask for William A. David!!!!

The tour operator is the best in all of Tanzania because they were kind, respectful and fun!
Serengeti Smile was the best safari option for my friends and I. The tour guide (Mussa) was amazing and he ensured that we saw all animals. All staff were helpful and kind. We would highly recommend!

Amazing safari with Peter in Maasai Mara! Well organised 4-day trip which I highly recommend :)
We went on 4-day safari trip with Axis. The experience was very relaxed and well organised. The transportation was fast and comfortable. Driver and tour guide Peter was incredible and went above and beyond to explore the wildlife. For the accommodations we went for the luxury package which ensures a 5 star experience for food and rooms. Highly recommended to book with Axis!

Seamless from start to finish!
Wow! What an experience for our family! We recommend Lion King Adventures without hesitation. From start to finish, everything was seamless. The lodges and tented camps exceeded expectations. Our guide, Hamadi, was incredible. He became part of the family and we wish we could have taken him with us for the rest of our trip! Not only an incredible driver, wildlife spotter and knowledge provider….our 11 year old son asked a new question every 10 seconds for 8 days, and Hamadi answered each one with patience and good humour.
We are so grateful to Lion King Adventures for this trip of a lifetime!

Amazing trip to Tanzania
Our family safari in Tanzania was truly amazing!. Thanks to Migration Venture Africa, everything ran smoothly from start to finish. We were lucky to have Bonnie as our guide, warm, knowledgeable, and fluent in English with a touch of French. He drove us with care through Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro, helping us spot the Big Five and so many other animals we’d never seen up close before.
Lucky for us, we got to spend a day exploring the beautiful Materuni Waterfalls, and it was a peaceful change of pace. We had a great time diving into the world of coffee-making, grinding, brewing, and sipping under the mountain breeze. I highly recommend this experience for anyone looking for a great family trip to this amazing country!
