Another Excellent Safari with KETS!
This was the 3rd time that we used KETS for a safari in Kenya and Tanzania. KETS has some of the best driver/guides in the business. Our drivers were very skilled at getting us up close to the wildlife and they jockeyed us around to position us to take the best photos ever. We were so pleased with all of our drivers. They also were knowledgable about the animals and their behavior and eagerly shared the information with us.
We let Paul plan our safari and we were very happy with the accommodations that he chose. We just let him know how long we would be there and he did the rest. It was really comforting to have a trusted driver waiting to pick us up late at night at the airport in Nairobi. On our last day, Paul easily and efficiently adjusted our schedule so that we didn't have to wait for hours in the airport.
A trip to Kenya wouldn't be complete without seeing the Big 5, and KETS did not disappoint us, as we had multiple sightings of these magnificent animals. In fact, we had the best sighting of a leopard that we have ever had.

Exceptional in every way!
I would recommend Elephant Herd to anyone and everyone (especially Bev for amazing communication, patience and planning and Bhekifa - the very best guide - kind, knowledgeable, genuine). This was an amazing trip from start to finish. Grateful for the trip of a lifetime.

Exceptional Safari Experience in Queen Elizabeth National Park
Our safari in Uganda was absolutely unforgettable! The tour operator went out of their way to design a trip tailored exactly to our interests, and we were blown away by the variety and quality of experiences included.
Based in Queen Elizabeth National Park, we enjoyed the best of both worlds: classic game drives and lodge experiences alongside unique, immersive activities that gave us a true sense of Ugandan life and culture. Highlights included:
• A day in the village, visiting a coffee farm where we roasted beans and brewed our own coffee.
• Experiencing bee harvesting and learning about salt mining.
• Staying at an Ankole cow farm — a special glimpse into local traditions.
• Visiting the CTC Conservation Center, where we had the once-in-a-lifetime chance to interact with animals up close, especially the lion cubs.
What impressed us most was how much was included for the value. The balance of wildlife, cultural activities, and personal attention far exceeded our expectations, and every day felt rich with discovery and adventure.
If you’re considering a safari in Uganda, I cannot recommend this tour operator enough. They provide not just a safari, but an immersive journey through the wildlife, culture, and heart of Queen Elizabeth National Park.

a truly special place on earth!
Tanzania is a surprise for me, I was blown away how ecosystem interacting right before my eyes, in the flesh! It’s very grounding to see tribes and villages during our trip. People in Tanzania are very warm and welcoming. It is beautiful to see different landscapes, and weather was perfect the time we went. Overall Tanzania is breathtaking!

Trip of a lifetime
Our safari adventure with Spirit of Kenya was truly unforgettable!
We stayed at Mara Sopa Lodge, which offered a serene atmosphere, spacious rooms, excellent food, and a staff that went above and beyond to make us feel welcome.
Our safari guide, Peter, was exceptional. He is an experienced and skilled driver who navigated the terrain with ease and precision. His ability to spot wildlife from a distance was remarkable, and he provided fascinating insights into animal behavior and habitat. We learned so much from him, which made each game drive even more meaningful.
Thank you, Spirit of Kenya, for creating such a rewarding experience. We returned home with wonderful memories that we will cherish for a lifetime.

Big Cat Safari provided the best Safari we could have imagined.
We booked a bucket list dream five day- four night safari with Big Cat Safaris. We enjoyed several game drives in Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti National Park. In addition to the game drives, Big Cat Safaris arrange a wonderful cultural experiences with visits to three local tribes. From start to finish, the organization was flawless.
We didn’t have to worry about a single thing throughout these five days. The schedule was clear and well-structured—we always knew in advance when breakfast, lunch, and dinner would be, what time we needed to wake up, when we would head out for our safari drives and village tours.
We had a private tour for our family of three people. The open top vehicle which could accommodate six was in excellent condition, spacious, and extremely comfortable with plenty space for the three of us. It allowed us to fully enjoy the safari experience, offering unobstructed visibility and a decent ride even on rough terrain.
Our driver and guide Venance, without a doubt, the best we could have asked for. He always went the extra mile—literally—to ensure we had the best possible view of the animals. While other drivers would stop at convenient spots for themselves, he made sure we got as close as possible for an unforgettable experience. He was also a fantastic guide—knowledgeable, friendly, and engaging, making our time with him both informative and enjoyable.
Another thoughtful detail was the constant supply of water and coke in the vehicle, which we never had to think about. Every aspect of the trip was seamlessly planned, by Joshua, Naomi and Emanuel. Big Cat Safaris had it all figured out. Our transfer to and from the Kilimanjaro Airport was perfectly arranged. Even though our flight was delayed, upon arrival, our guide Venance was holding a sign with our names greeted us with a smile. We had a short tour of Arusha and per our request he took us to eat at a local restaurant with great food.
We stayed a three separate accommodations all of which were 5 star in our opinion. Clean, comfortable, great food and the staff at all three provided us with the most genuine and friendly top level hospitality. We could not have asked for better accommodations.
If we ever go on another safari, we will undoubtedly choose Big Cat Safari again. From the very first moment of booking to the last step of our journey, everything was smooth and stress-free. There was not a single issue or detail that fell short of our expectations.
True professionals with the highest level of tour organization. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!
