Very helpful with an extremely good guide (Chief)
Value for money it was great, and we had a excellent guide in Chief - he knew his stuff and we saw far more animals than what we expected. The only downside would be perhaps having blankets for those very early morning game rides.
The other crew were also great - Blakey, JP and I am sorry but forget the other name.

5 Days through Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli
We had a nice experience in Kenya, our accomodations were lovely, the food was amazing and we saw all the animals we wanted.
I only wish the roads were better because sometimes it gets really unconfortable (the journeys are very long).

Fantastic!
We had a great time with Antonio Safaris. Anthony was hardworking, knowledgeable, and most of all fun! Extremely responsive prior to our trio and helped us with all our concerns. On the trip itself he worked hard to make sure we saw lions, elephants, giraffes, hyenas, leopards, and many more. He always tried to make sure we got the best views too! Highly recommend.

Nevill is very professional.
Nevill is very responsive to emails and accommodates all our requests. Even after we paid the deposit, he still made sure we got the room we wanted. After the safari, he also proactively followed up with us. Highly recommended!

Perfect safari tour!
We booked an 8-day safari and Mombasa tour, and it was an unforgettable experience. We were lucky to have an excellent guide, Denis, and an amazing group of people who bonded really well throughout the trip. Denis was calm, organised, and kept us on schedule while still being flexible when minor changes came up—always keeping us informed. His deep knowledge of wildlife and his keen understanding of animal movements made the safari drives incredibly rewarding. We were thrilled to see the Big Five up close! His African style driving ensured every day was an adventure.
Maasai Mara – The camp accommodation was fantastic: clean, welcoming, and very comfortable. The food was absolutely top-notch. The safari drives were long, but the experience was well worth it. The wildebeest river crossing, though a bit chaotic due to large crowds (not the tour operator’s fault), was still an incredible moment to witness.
Lake Naivasha – The boat ride was $20, with an optional guided walking safari for an additional $20. Our boat guide was a young man full of knowledge and humour, which made the experience even more enjoyable.
Lake Nakuru – This was a beautiful and refreshing part of the journey. The landscape was noticeably different from the other parks, offering a unique contrast and stunning scenery. It was a peaceful experience, and we enjoyed spotting a variety of wildlife in this more serene setting.
Amboseli – While the drive to the campsite was long, dusty, and bumpy, it was absolutely worth it. Nayati Camp was a fantastic place to stay—comfortable, welcoming, and well-situated. Exploring Amboseli National Park felt like stepping into The Lion King, with its breathtaking landscapes, large herds of elephants, and an abundance of birds and wildlife. The views of Mount Kilimanjaro in the background made it all the more magical. Truly unforgettable!
Mombasa – The white sand beaches were absolutely stunning and the perfect way to unwind after our safari adventure. We stayed at The Reef Hotel, which offered a very comfortable and relaxing stay.
A special thanks to Derrick, who was outstanding in organising and accommodating our travel needs. He was incredibly flexible, making necessary adjustments to the itinerary when one of our group members unfortunately experienced severe food poisoning. Despite the change in plans, everything was handled smoothly and with care. Our guides in Mombasa were friendly, and Derrick ensured we had reliable pick-up and drop-off at every stage—completely removing any logistical stress from our trip.
We were truly impressed by ETA Adventures. Their budget package was priced significantly lower than many competitors, yet the experience we received was nothing short of 5-star. Highly recommended!

Amazing and fantastic experience, a good operator matter!
Cynthia from Axis has been incredibly helpful from the very start — always proactive and patient with our needs. And a special thanks to our amazing guide, Peter Ndungu, who has been fantastic throughout: patient, knowledgeable, and making sure we got the best views, photos, and experiences with the animals. Highly recommended — look no further!

mind blowing
The staff was courteous; Lobulu drove incredibly safely and well, and he explained everything perfectly!
All the food during the safari was always fresh and delicious, and of course, there was a cold beer included. ;)

Amini was amazing!
Serengeti Smile was so reliable. Went to each stop, did so much during the days, and saw so much up close wildlife. Amini was such a good driver for us because he gave us the best experience no matter what. He is an intelligent driver. The value for the money is so worth it! Getting to experience Tanzania was unforgettable, thank you Serengeti smile.
