Helpfull, professional and flexible.
Honestly, this safari was one of the most beautiful experiences I’ve ever had.
From the moment we set out, it felt like stepping into another world.
Our guide was amazing, super knowledgeable and patient.
If you’ve ever thought about doing a safari… go. You won’t regret it.

Dream trip with the most organised tour operator
When I Selected Ways of Africa as our 10 days trip to Kenya one year back, I had no Idea about their service . I selected manly for nice itinerary with a reasonable cost.
But when the time came, I realised I selected one of the best one.
Got a big car at Nairobi airport, checked in our hotel, where Paul, the owner was waiting. He explained the trip and handed over nice gift pack, containing water bottle, hat, a blanket etc. Unfortunately,on the day of travelling to Masaimara, there was some protests and Paul rightly suggested to had an early start at 2-30am.
Our driver cum guide came before 2-30am and we crossed Nairobi before morning and faced to issue.
The safari zeep was very good, there was some minor roof auto closing issue, but otherwise the car was very healthy. It crossed many uneven pathways, waded through water during jungle safaries and never had an issue.
The gem of the trip was Mr Khan, who drove us many miles very safely. He had an immense knowledge on animals, birds, roads and many more.
We travelled in safari geep for 8 days including 3 days in Masaimara, 1 day eachin Lake Nakuru and Lake Naivasha,2 days in Amboseli park and one day return to airport.
We have seen all the animals except Leopard. We witnessed Lion on 4 days, Cheetah for 2 days, many elephants, Raino, Topic, many birds and many more, much better then expectations.
The hotels as selected by ways of Africa were very good with good and tasty foods, which were all inclusive.
Overall, it was one of the best trip in my life.

Wonderful Place and Guide (GEDI RUINS)
An excursion not to be missed if you are in this area of Kenya! Our guide Hudson was amazing! He explained the history of this place making it interesting and never heavy. It is prepared on every plant, every curiosity, every anecdote. The monkeys are cute, absolutely harmless and really prone to contact with people. Our guide recognizes them and calls them by name! We spent an interesting and fun morning, which Hudson between a story and a joke, made really unmissable! We made this excursion through Mamistravel Limited Kenya (contacted on Facebook from Hungary ) who accompanied us on the spot, took bananas and peanuts for the monkeys and entrusted Hudson for the tour inside. Nicely presented and articulate. Highly recommended!!

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!
