a terrifying trip
It was a terrifying trip, and I still can't help trembling when I think about it. On the last day of the return journey, the driver parked the vehicle on a slope but failed to apply the handbrake after getting out. The car quickly rolled backward, crossed the entire road, and eventually overturned. The four of us in the car were injured to varying degrees. The travel agency refused any compensation, including for our personal items crushed under the car in the accident. When we requested to see our insurance documents, they refused to provide them, making it highly likely that they had not purchased insurance for us. The accident caused the fuel tank to burst, and diesel spilled all over the ground while we were trapped in the car. Fortunately, it was the rainy season, and a sudden downpour prevented the vehicle from catching fire. I still feel terrified now, and the travel agency's ability to handle emergencies is extremely poor.

Unmatched experience that was catered to our liking
We had an absolutely incredible experience with Morningstar Tours and Travels for our recent safari in Kenya! From the moment we started planning our trip from Seattle, Dennis Kimeu, their Operations Lead, was outstanding. He worked closely with us to personalize our itinerary, and his communication was top-notch—always prompt, even during late-night hours in his time zone. His responsiveness and professionalism made planning a breeze.
Our safari guide, Willy, was equally exceptional. Incredibly polite and easy to talk to, he offered thoughtful recommendations whenever we were unsure and tailored each day to our pace and preferences—whether it was early game drives or relaxed mornings. His deep knowledge of Kenya’s wildlife, culture, history, and the Maasai people made our longer drives fly by. We had the surreal experience of seeing lions up close in Maasai Mara—so close we could have petted them (though we didn’t!). Willy, who calls Mara his “second home,” made that possible.
He also shared valuable insights for the future, including the best times to visit Kenya’s parks for optimal wildlife viewing (hint: not July–September), which we’ll be passing along to our friends and family planning their own adventures.
The Land Cruiser we had was in great condition and handled all terrains comfortably.
If you’re considering a safari, skip the foreign middlemen and book directly with a local company like Morningstar. With Dennis’s thoughtful coordination and Willy’s unmatched guiding, you’re guaranteed a phenomenal experience. Highly recommend!

Ken ia a very nice person, always happy and making jokes. makes you feel welcome
The communication is good, if you know a little English you are fine.
I think the money you pay for the tour is good for all that is included.
I loved the safari, Ken does the possible and the impossible for you to take the perfect photos.
The accommodations and the food were great too.

Very friendly and fun. Always concerned about our well-being
Excellent service. Everything went very well.
Great communication!
Best safari ever!
I sent a quote request just one day before our trip — a truly last-minute inquiry — but UndiscoverAfrica exceeded all expectations with a meticulously planned safari that started in under 24 hours.
The communication was smooth and professional from start to finish. Our driver, Simba, was absolutely fantastic: punctual, kind, and attentive. He picked us up on time, drove us through the national park to the Botswana border, and handed us over to their trusted safari guide on the Botswana side.
During the transfer through the park, we had the chance to see buffalo, giraffes, and wild dogs. Simba would always stop the car to let us take pictures and enjoy observing the animals in their natural habitat.
Once in Botswana, we had breakfast with coffee and muffins, then embarked on a three-hour river safari, where we saw hippos, crocodiles, eagles, and impalas.
Lunch was good, really good actually!
In the afternoon, we continued with a three-hour game drive, during which we were lucky enough to see lions (twice!), elephants, kudu, giraffes, and even elephants playing in the water — a magical moment we’ll never forget.
The return trip with Simba was calm and pleasant. We even spotted zebras on the Zimbabwean side of the park. Before bringing us back home, Simba kindly stopped at a store so we could buy some things, waited patiently for us, and then drove us home. Excellent service!
The car was clean, comfortable, and odor-free.
I can’t recommend UndiscoverAfrica and Simba enough. Their attention to detail and excellent service turned what began as a last-minute booking into the most memorable and rewarding experience of our entire trip.

Jocky Tours made the whole process of booking easy and Francis our tour guide was amazing.
We decided to go direct with a Safari company and chose Jocky Tours. The booking process was easy and the quality of communication was excellent.
We were collected from our hotel and taken to the Jockey Tours office where we met Francis our driver.
Our tour was to The Massai Mara and Lake Nakuru where we saw an amazing array of wildlife. Francis was a real character and very knowledgeable.
We would highly recommend Jocky Tours and if you are lucky enough to get Francis as your tour guide you won’t be disappointed.

Mega Safari Experience with Antonio Safaris – 5 Stars!
Our safari with Antonio Safaris was absolutely incredible – a truly unforgettable experience from start to finish! The highlight was definitely our time in the Masai Mara, which was simply spectacular. What made it even more special was how quiet and peaceful it was (mid May) – there was very little safari traffic, so we often felt like we had the whole savannah to ourselves.
Our guide Evans was outstanding – without a doubt the best guide we could have hoped for. He was incredibly knowledgeable and could tell us everything about every animal we encountered. Thanks to him, we saw so many amazing animals up close – leopards, cheetahs, elephants, giraffes, hippos, buffaloes and more. It couldn’t have been better. He even shared some stunning photos he had taken himself during the trip!
Equally impressive was the seamless organization from Naomi, who managed the entire booking process flawlessly. Everything was perfectly arranged – always on time, no complications whatsoever, and at a very fair and reasonable price.
If you’re thinking about going on a safari in Kenya, we can wholeheartedly recommend Antonio Safaris. 5 out of 5 stars – we would absolutely do it again and recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic and smooth safari experience.
