An Unforgettable First African Safari with Olengugih Safaris
We recently had the pleasure of doing our Kenya safari with Olengugih Safaris, and the entire experience was nothing short of fantastic.
From the very first call, Kelvin took the time to understand our requirements in detail and designed a customized itinerary that perfectly suited us. He considered everything—our preferred pace, hotel preferences, even our dietary needs—making the planning process smooth and stress-free.
Since this was our first time booking through a tour operator, we initially had our concerns, but Kelvin’s constant presence and support from day one until the very last day made us feel extremely comfortable and reassured throughout the trip.
The 4x4 Land Cruiser that picked us up from Nairobi airport was the same vehicle we used for the entire journey—covering Nairobi, Amboseli, Naivasha, Nakuru, Masai Mara, and back to Nairobi. It was extremely comfortable, always stocked with drinking water, and the ability to charge our gadgets on the go made a huge difference during long game drives.
They were also very flexible and attentive to small details. For example, we requested sandbags in the car to help with photography, and this was arranged without any fuss. We also decided to add an extra day in Nairobi for local sightseeing, and Kelvin was kind enough to accommodate our request and even arranged transport for us to visit Nairobi National Park, the Sheldrick Elephant Trust, and the Giraffe Center at no extra cost.
During the safari, we were guided by Sam, who was not only highly knowledgeable but also made the entire experience so much fun. As a photography enthusiast himself, he had a great eye for spotting interesting angles and locations, which helped us capture some truly memorable shots along the way. His insights about wildlife and the parks enriched every game drive, and his company made the journey truly special.
We also found the cost to be far more reasonable compared to India-based operators—especially since booking directly saved us the extra TCS and GST charges typically added by Indian tour companies. On top of that, the quality of arrangements exceeded our expectations.
A special mention for our stay in Masai Mara at Simba & Oryx Nature Camp—we absolutely loved it. It felt as if we were staying right inside the jungle, with all the charm of the wild, but without the additional premium cost. One evening, while sipping coffee on the deck, we even saw zebras casually grazing right outside our room—a surreal and unforgettable experience.
Overall, Olengugih Safaris went above and beyond to deliver a seamless, personalized, and unforgettable safari experience for us. A big thank you to Kelvin, Sam, and the entire Olengugih team—we would highly recommend them to anyone planning a Kenya safari!
✨ If you’re dreaming of Africa, let Olengugih make it real.

Once-in-a-lifetime safari—Serengeti Clarity delivers
We had the trip of a lifetime with Serengeti Clarity. Before setting foot in Africa, I spent hours researching the best safari operator for our family, and after going back and forth with Frank, I knew Serengeti Clarity would be special. Throughout the planning process, Frank always responded quickly and thoughtfully, adjusting to every request, no matter how big or small. He made us feel comfortable and excited for our adventure in Tanzania.
Once we arrived, we were paired with our guide, Kelvin. From the very first moment, his energy and deep love for Tanzania and its wildlife set the tone for our safari. As a Maasai warrior, he brought a unique expertise and perspective that enriched every drive. Thanks to his sharp eye and knowledge of animal behavior, we spotted all of the Big Five and even witnessed a wildebeest river crossing. It was clear how respected Kelvin was among other guides, which only deepened our confidence that we were in the best hands.
Our journey began in Tarangire National Park, where elephants and giraffes filled the landscape on day one. Next came Ngorongoro Crater, where we were lucky enough to see a black rhino, a rare and unforgettable sighting. From there, we moved into Central Serengeti, where we saw lions mating, two cheetahs, and a leopard with her cubs. Finally, in Northern Serengeti, Kelvin delivered one of the most magical experiences of all: watching the great migration and a river crossing on our very first night. While other groups left, Kelvin’s persistence gave us the kind of once-in-a-lifetime moment we’ll never forget.
The service throughout was equally impressive. The lodges and camps we stayed at blew us away with their warm hospitality, delicious dining options, and luxurious yet cozy accommodations. Our Land Cruiser was always stocked with cold drinks, and meals were freshly prepared and shared family-style. Watching a river crossing with a glass of wine in hand or spotting a leopard while sipping a cold beer made the experience feel both adventurous and luxurious. We were also celebrating my parents’ birthdays, and Frank and the Serengeti Clarity team went above and beyond with three beautiful surprise celebrations that made the trip even more meaningful.
Serengeti Clarity didn’t just show us Tanzania; they gave us memories we’ll carry forever.
If you’re considering a safari in Tanzania, I cannot recommend them highly enough.

A completely mesmerizing experience.
Had an exceptional and an unforgettable safari experience! From spotting all the big fives, to spotting cheetahs multiple times in just a day to seeing strolling leapord and the migrations, Masai mara is beautiful and full of wild life. Collins was always there to reply to our countless queries and emails and completely satisfied us everytime. We were a party of 12 and our guides Moses and Evans made sure we had an amazing time. They really wanted us to see everything. Extremely dedicated, knowledgable and friendly. They even picked us way earlier in the morning than the given time for game drives just to make sure we did not miss on anything and went above and beyond our expectations.Really good and luxurious accomadations with our preferred diet plans. Would highly recommend lenchada safaris to anyone one and everyone for a funfilled,hassle free and full of wild life safari adventure.

Profis, organised, friendly and polite
We did the 6 day camping migration safari. We were thrilled. Everything was as explained before from our meruslopes contact Shadrack (live communication with what's up before the trip and he always answered everything immediately) and the experience was breath taking.
It involves really long drive hours and lots of dust but our driver and guide Juma made it really pleasant and adventurous. Because of his experience and abilities we were able to see everything and enjoy the incredible landscape.
Buga our chef was preparing all the meals every day and the food was amazing tasty (I have to give special credits for the soups) .
We only need to thank meruslopes.

The most unforgettable trip!
Hands down, one of the best tour operators to work with! Nsavi safaris was absolutely fantastic - they were organized, personalized, and incredibly friendly!
I had a work trip to Kampala and had always dreamed of seeing gorillas and chimpanzees in the wild. I only had 4 days to do an excursion (within Uganda) and learned of the trip without much time to prepare. My family also wanted to join. I emailed many tour operators and learned the hard truth about how difficult it was to secure permits on such short notice and travel between multiple parts of the country. Sarah from Nsavi Safaris was different - she responded extremely quickly, learned of what requirements our group would need, understood our budget, and quickly turned around an itinerary that completely encompassed what we had hoped! We loved the promptness of her communication via email and WhatsApp and her professionalism in crafting itineraries, building a customized website, and walking us through an international payment. She is very well connected with UWA and was a huge help in getting us permits! But do book in advance if you can!!
We did a 4 day adventure - flying in the morning on a small plane from Kampala to get to Kibale for the chimps, driving to Queen Elizabeth National Park to get to Bwindi, then trekking through Bwindi followed by a next day morning flight back to Kampala. We got all of the highlights, stayed in very comfortable guest lodges/camps, and had an incredible experience seeing wildlife. Jasper, our guide, was there throughout the trip - he was very excited to share his experiences with us, chat with us about Ugandan culture, stop at the side of the road so we could take photos of the views, and even stopped for a mini-unplanned game drive through Queen Elizabeth National Park. I also had the chance to get lunch with Sarah and chat about her business. She and Jasper also helped me pack a souvenir, which was above and beyond what I expected a tour operator to help with.
Thank you Sarah, Jasper, and the rest of the team at Nsavi for an unforgettable experience! I was extremely happy to support a female-run small business that exceeded my expectations! We highly recommend others to book with Nsavi!!
