5-Night Safari
We recently returned from a 5-day safari with Kameraz of Afrika, with a route covering Amboseli, Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru, and two nights in the Masai Mara before returning to Nairobi. Overall, it was a well-organized trip that covered a lot of ground in a relatively short amount of time.
**Guide and Experience**
Our driver and guide, Paul, was professional and knowledgeable and great fun. He did an excellent job navigating the different parks and pointing out wildlife. Thanks to his efforts, we managed to see all of the Big Five, which was a highlight of the trip. Paul was always approachable, answered our questions, and maximized our viewing opportunities.
**Travel Logistics**
The itinerary involved quite a bit of driving and early starts. The distances between destinations are considerable, we also had to navigate the Saba Saba protests due to the time of year, so time on the road was a significant part of the experience. That said, the transitions were managed effectively and the early mornings were necessary for wildlife viewing, so it felt worthwhile.
**Highlights**
A particularly memorable moment was the hot air balloon ride we did over the Masai Mara with Little Governors. Watching the sunrise from above the savannah was a unique addition to the safari.
**Summary**
Kameraz of Afrika delivered a smooth, well-arranged safari experience with reliable, fun guidance from Paul. The packed itinerary requires some early mornings and long drives, but it's a good way to see a lot in a short time. The combination of varied landscapes, successful game drives, and the special balloon ride made for an enjoyable trip.

Kimgoni Tanzania Safaris
We had an amazing experience with Kimgoni Safari! A big thank you to our guides, Thomas and Peter, for their warm welcome and kindness. We spent five unforgettable days on safari exploring the reserves, and thanks to them, we were lucky enough to see the Big Five. Incredible memories and top-notch service — we highly recommend them without hesitation!

Perfect for a wildlifephotographer!
The Aglow Safaris team was always in reach and they did all they could to make my trip a succes. They even called some people to look for a chameleon (sometime they are hard to find) so was able to take some pictures. Great service!
I will surely book a trip with Aglow Safaris again.

Lovely experience - but didn’t see the river crossing
I had an amazing trip with Axis safari tours and Dickson as our guide and driver.
I went mid July to spend my birthday weekend as a solo female traveller and had a short but sweet and super rewarding trip. Dickson was a great driver and guide, always super positive, friendly and humble, making sure we are all comfortable, despite the long hours and tiring journey. He’s also always in contact with other guides so if someone has spotted a lion or another cool animal nearby, he’d know to rush there, and drive us as close as possible to take good shots.
Axis tour was also super helpful - I reached out to multiple companies prior to choosing them but they were the most responsive and always provided very thorough answers making me feel ensured. I asked many many questions and they were always able to accommodate to different requests and answer professionally. They picked me up from the airport early morning, then brought me to find an ATM that works (the one in the airport doesn’t work for local currency, only works if you take usd), and also dropped me off on return, making it a very seamless and safe journey.
It turns out they group you with different companies on the same Jeep depending on which tour you choose, but the customer service / sales experience was the best from Axis which made it feel like a safe and smooth journey.
I am a female solo traveller and obviously concerned for many reasons. But even for the allocation of group they tried to group us with other solo travellers and it was a great match - there were 2 other female solo travellers onboard! I was given the opportunity to select my preferred accommodation (which is very important especially for the campsites if you go for the budget option) and they even offered me an upgraded option for 30usd/2 days extra which was a life changer compared to where the others were allocated. At least there was hot water (even though you need to run it for 10 minutes) and the place was very clean and workers there felt like family, super warm and welcoming. Everyone in my jeep group booked with different companies and even though we went with the budget option, they said they couldn’t choose their preferred accomodation, not even subject to availability.
Unfortunately, I was told the great migration had a very high chance to be witnessed in July (during the days I went given I booked only 1 week ahead) but we only caught the start of the migration where there were large groups of wild beasts on their way from Tanzania but the river crossing scene was completely empty… our guide told us the best time is more mid August. I also heard from different groups that went around those days that they had to wait in a spot for 2-3 hours to see the river crossing but we didn’t get to experience this at all - the river was completely empty of wild beasts and we were just brought to look at hippos and crocodiles from afar, in the location where we were meant to see the river crossing - so that was a bit disappointing. But anyhow, I’ve enjoyed my little long weekend getaway and my first ever safari experience!

Amazing experience
My best friend and I went on the 3 day safari and I cannot recommend it enough. It's the perfect introduction to the park and safaris in general for those (like us) who would not have the faintest idea of what to do and where to go. I strongly recommend it, especially if it's your first experience

Amazing safari with amazing people
It was perfect. The guide, the driver and the company was so good, they are very happy and attention. The times and the plan was perfect. Te transport was so confortable. Mikumi is too good and there are a lot of animals. Hotel was good also and food is okay. We are very happy to choose this company.

Incredible
Excellent service, very friendly guides, and the transport from Dar es Salaam to Mikumi was comfortable and fun with our guide Isaia, who was always attentive and kind to us. The hotel was very clean and the staff treated us very well. The only downside was that we had to pay for drinks at dinner, even though everything was supposed to be included. Other than that, everything was great.

A wonderful experience
I did a one day Safari trip to Akagera and it was a highlight of my trip to Rwanda and Golden Rwanda Safari played a HUGE part in this.
First of all, it was very last minute. I decided to do it based on friend's experience and I booked it the evening before the trip. It was the only possibility for me and they accepted my request, no problem.
Second, my driver Mico is such a nice guide. He will do everything he can for you to have a great experience and see as much as animals as possible. I felt really at ease with him.
Third, the breakfast was excellent! So much choice!
Finally and most importantly, the Akagera park is beautiful and you will get to see so many animals in their habitat. I saw a mama Rhino and her baby and it was incredible.
I can only recommend Golden Rwanda Safari. You won't be disappointed.

Amazing for birdwatchers
I booked with Exciting Africa Holidays for birdwatching, and I was thrilled. Jackson knew exactly where to go. The variety of animals seen was astounding too. Meals were energizing, accommodations serene, and transport efficient. Excellent value for money for any nature lover.
