THREE-DAY SAMBURU SAFARI EXPERIENCE):
Our visit to Samburu was a unique experience. As we left the hustle and bustle of the city for northern Kenya, the scene changed. Although the roads were a bit rough, the guide was driving with great care. The famous reticulated giraffe was the first thing I saw when I arrived at the Samburu Reserve! Their design is very different. Then I saw the long-necked gerenuk walk right past our car. The most exciting was the Ewaso Nyiro River. There I saw huge crocodiles sleeping together. It was certainly a great opportunity to see nature up close outside the city.

Great Safari for the whole family
We went on an 8 day safari with two young children in July and had a fantastic trip. Before the trip all communication was done with Fredrick who was extremely responsive, usually responding within a few minutes. We made several modifications to the suggested itinerary, and Fredrick accommodated the requests and gave us several options to choose from when we didn't have something specific in mind. On the safari we had Jackson as our guide and he was incredible, asking what we wanted to get out of the tour (i.e. what animals we wanted to see) and he delivered on all requests (other than an elusive leopard :)). Jackson was very knowledgeable about the animals and locations while being very friendly and flexible and managing to maneuver the jeep into great viewing positions. Overall a great experience and would definitely recommend Apodiformes.

Excellence to the smallest detail.
A once in a lifetime “bucket list “ adventure. Exciting and beautiful from the second we landed. All accommodations were excellent with great staffs. Animals from the second the actual safari started. Highly educated tour guides made the trip that much more memorable. I can go on for hours with accolades. An absolute must in life!

Incredible Birthday Trip with Shadows of Africa – Kenya, Tanzania & Zanzibar
We just returned from a phenomenal trip to Kenya, Tanzania, and Zanzibar to celebrate our 50th birthdays. Shadows of Africa made it truly unforgettable! From start to finish, they took care of every detail — even helping us smoothly handle a last-minute flight change.
Karen was incredibly responsive and worked with us to create an excellent, personalized itinerary that blended cultural activities with thrilling safari drives through a wide variety of stunning landscapes.
Our guides, Mercy and Loma, were excellent — knowledgeable, kind, and always going above and beyond. Loma used his expertise to get us a front-row view of the Great Migration crossing — something no one else we spoke to was able to witness! We were shocked by the sheer number and variety of animals we saw throughout the trip.
Staying in tented camps gave us the full safari experience, and we absolutely loved the picnic meals out in the wild. The itinerary was perfectly paced, blending adventure and relaxation, and every lodge and meal exceeded expectations.
This was truly the trip of a lifetime — we can’t thank Shadows of Africa enough for making our milestone birthday celebration so special. We 100% recommend them to anyone planning a safari or East Africa adventure!

Awesome experience!
The trip was absolutely wonderful. Caroline and Florida set up an amazing set of lodgings and experiences for our trip. They went out of their way to accommodate our special requests. At short notice we could not have planned the trip without them. Highly recommend Lion King Adventures. We would do it all over again. Enoch our guide was the best! He was friendly, knowledgeable and ensured we travelled comfortably while witnessing all the beauty and wildlife of Tanzania.

Great experience from start to finish
What a great trip! We were a family of 4 doing a private safari over 3 days to the Serengeti and to/around the Ngorongoro crater.
All discussions were arranged a few months beforehand very easily via WhatsApp - I specified my requirements and with a bit of back and forth we came up with a few ideas before deciding on a final itinerary that matched our budget. It was very easy to arrange and Midian was very responsive. I spoke to 4 different companies and African Chitah came up with the best price for the same itinerary. We paid a deposit via a secure link that was sent over, the rest can be paid in cash or via the same link prior to starting the safari.
Our driver, Papa, was great! He was very warm, welcoming and knowledgable. We felt very safe in his hands and trusted him as our driver. It’s also nice to know he was previously a car mechanic for a long time incase we encountered any problems - there were a few jeeps on our trip we saw that had minor problems that needed to be fixed along the way.
The jeep was comfortable, spacious and had everything you could need including a small refrigerator, usb and plug power points, WiFi. It was cleaned every day, both inside and out, by Papa after we had been dropped off to our accommodation as it gets quite dusty. This meant we always had a clear view out of the windows each day.
There were plenty of toilet and picnic stops along the way. All the food provided was delicious, we had one vegan in our group and she was sufficiently catered for.
We all thoroughly enjoyed our time on safari and would 100000% book with African Chitah again.

Felt like family on our safari!
We had an awesome time!! The whole Kiliclimb team went above and beyond, from welcoming us at the airport with refreshments to taking us around Arusha on the day after our safari was over, to checking in with us throughout our stay. Our driver Abuu was very sweet and knowledgeable, we felt like family by the end! We ended up seeing all the big 5 and even the great migration - we even got up close and personal with lions and cheetahs! If you are looking for the great migration, I’d recommend you ask ahead of time to have them check with the lodges about timing, it ended up being pretty behind schedule this year so we saw it in the Central Serengeti, making our stop in the Northern Serengeti a bit of an inconvenient detour as it’s far away and there’s less to see there (we did see a leopard though!). Abuu was so committed to making sure we saw all the animals nevertheless, some days that even meant he was driving over 12 hours, but always with a positive attitude even when we had some car troubles. You can tell how much he loves his job and how much he cared that we would have a good time. Would absolutely recommend!!

One of a kind experience!
We booked a safari for three days in July with Safari Africa United , which was the highlight of the whole trip to Tanzania/ Zanzibar. Cornelius made for us all the bookings/arrangements and coordinated everything perfectly that we had a smooth experience from picking us up in Zanzibar till returning us to our lodge. Our friendly and helpful tour guide Zubair was very efficient, informative, always prompt and sharp in time . He arranged for us beautiful Picknick and had eagle eye spotting animals in the wild which made our safari a real adventure. Thank you all for making our Safari experience so special 🌺

Always ready to help!
It was a pleasure to travel with Vision Safari & Tours, a wonderful experience. Since the first day I wrote to them (unlike other agencies I wrote to) the always replied immediately and solved all doubts we could have. Hellen and her colleagues were always helpful and ready to answer questions (even doubts about Swahili language!). The guide, Godson, was a terrific driver, very useful in this kind of journeys. The food in the lodge we stayed at (with monkeys and goats and rabbits walking all around the place!) was delicious, as well as the food during the safari itself. We will always remember the experience! Asante sana, warafiki! Tutaonana baadaye!
