A scenic place for great birding
On a two-day trip to Lake Nakuru during the wet season in June, I didn't really expect much wildlife activity. But it was still worth a try because we were told that the place is quite scenic, a large tucked in a valley, surrounded by hills. That's not quite the stereotypical image of Kenyan landscape.
It rained in the afternoon when we reached our camp and the night was fairly cold. But the next morning was all clear skies and sunny, pleasant weather.
The birding was great and we even saw some flamingoes. Wildlife sightings were very satisfying too, we saw a family of the rare black rhino, giraffes, a couple of lion sightings and jackals. The rock hyrax was an unexpected delight.
The Flamingo Hill Camp is a comfortable place to stay. Maybe because it was the off-season, we saw no other safari vehicle and our time there felt quite exclusive.The lake looks spectacular from the Baboon Hill viewing spot. I would visit the place over and over!

Review about Kenya by Gowri
Kenya's open landscapes are teeming with wildlife. I was so happy to see zebras and gazelle right outside the Nairobi city limits. Great experience!

Off Season Safari Might Be Better
We didn't realize we were going during wet season (my brother and I did very minimal research). This turned out not to be bad at all! The parks only had a handful of other vehicles, and the conditions weren't too bad. We managed to stay dry for the majority of the safari. The tour guide was excellent: knowledgeable, a good eye for spotting animals, and a skilled driver for the rough, wet terrain. Camping in the parks was so much fun as were the stays in the lodges. The chef we had also provided us with great meals throughout the trip. This was an overall dream come true at an affordable price.

An experienced local and super friendly guide: the best way to discover Uganda
We managed to design with Frank Tours a personalized tour with the highlights we wanted to visit. Frank was always correct and on time and he let us discover the nicest places in Uganda. He was flexible enough to change plans and proposed alternatives when needed. He knows the country very well but also understands our Western culture and interests. He succeeded in finding the right balance to combine local content with our main goals in visiting Uganda.

Best of best tour!!!
I am a Korean who did the Serengeti & Ngorongoro tour at Lion King Adventure. I was uneasy until the start of my trip, because I read that a lot of people were unsatisfied with the Serengeti tour. But when you meet guide James at Lion King Adventure, it is the best tour you will never forget !! Most Koreans focused on watching the Big Five, and during the season I went there, I could easily see the big five with lots of animals. The guides allowed us to see real animals in front of our noses. I was able to see the lion and leopard eating in front of me. Both the guide and the chef were friendly and fun, so we had a great time throughout the tour. Even if you make a mistake in English, you do not have to worry! I rarely write a review, but I was so happy to write about Lion King Adventure. If Jonghyuk Lee (Mark) recommends James to Korean, he will surely do well! I hope you have a pleasant trip. Thank you :)

Green World Safaris is by far the most reliable agency I have worked with in Uganda.
Betty Dhumba of Green World Safaris is a true professional who goes out of her way to make sure your visit is a total success. She communicates with you extensively prior to your trip to make sure that all your travel needs are addressed, and then every day while on safari she checks with your driver to make sure that your trip is running smoothly. She gives thought to the type of driver she feels is best suited for your safari, and I was surprised one morning to learn that the morning my safari was to begin she had arrived at work early in order to personally check that my vehicle's AC was working. If you are in need of a reliable service run by a manager who really cares about the success of your trip, I cannot recommend Green World Safaris highly enough.

Caring and friendly travel agent to get the best out of South Africa!
Helpful and reactive, Safari With Us allowed us to have a great time in south Africa. The hotels or lodges they recommended were excellent, in particular Motswiri in Madikwe Game Reserve. The people they put us in contact with were helpful and knowledgeable about their country. We only wished that Safari With Us could have helped us more with South Africa Airways which cancelled our onward journey to Cape Town, as well as with our potential refund, but we are well aware that we did not book our flight tickets through Safari With Us. At the end, we had the feeling that Safari With Us did care about us having a good time, like calling to check that everything was right. This makes a difference.
A Ride to Remember, a Landscape to Preserve
A wonderful experience, 10 days in and across the desert, thanks to some breath-taking scenery, some remarkable leadership and logistics, assisted by some truly giving horses. The riding surpassed my expectations; so did the food! I am grateful for having had the opportunity to explore Nature in such a a raw and beautiful way.
