Unforgettfable trekking to the gorillas and to the golden monkeys
Our 4-day primate adventure with East Africa Safari Tours was truly unforgettable! From the moment we landed, everything was perfectly organized including the paperwork for the permits.
The highlight of our trip was the magical gorilla trekking and the exciting golden monkey experience. These are moments we’ll cherish for a lifetime!
As a hobby photographer, one of my goals was to take excellent pictures of the gorillas and the golden monkeys. The guide provided me with excellent support.
A special thank you to our driver and guide.
Due to his in-depth knowledge, Gerard's explanations always provided a lot of interesting background information.
If you’re looking for a trusted company that delivers exceptional service, unforgettable experiences, and genuine care, we highly recommend East Africa Safari Tours. They don’t just plan trips—they create lifelong memories.

-- A Powerful Afternoon
A Powerful Afternoon in Nairobi National Park
I only spent a few hours there, but Nairobi National Park gave me one of the most powerful moments of my journey.
In the golden light of the afternoon, I saw giraffes walking gracefully through the savannah, antelopes and buffalos grazing, and — most impressively — a lion, fully awake, resting in the shade but watching everything around him. No fences, no crowds. Just nature, alive and close.
What struck me most wasn’t the guide or the tour, but the park itself — so wild, yet so near the city. It felt surreal to be in such a pure natural environment with Nairobi’s skyline still visible in the background.
Even a short visit can leave a deep impression. If you’re in Nairobi, take the time. It’s absolutely worth it.

Amazing Tanzanian Safari with John!
We booked a 6 day safari with Top Selected Tours and enjoyed every minute of it! After getting picked up from the airport, we started with a tour of Arusha, where we saw the major landmarks and walked through the local market. The next day, we began our safari, visiting Tarangire National Park, the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Makuyuni Wildlife Park.
Our tour guide John was highly experienced and enthusiastic about getting to show us and teach us about all of the wildlife. Thanks to him, we got to see so many animals, including the Big 5. John even went out of his way to ensure that we saw cheetahs, which we were the animal that we were the most excited to see. He made the trip so special and we could not have asked for a better guide!
The accommodations were all very nice, and we enjoyed picnicking with packed lunches every day in the nature parks. Top Selected Tours was very helpful and professional in helping us book the best trip we could’ve asked for by providing their expert opinion, which ensured the experience was unforgettable. We highly recommend booking with them and John!

Organized, prompt, responsive, caring.

Where do I start? We knew the Kenyan people were kind and caring, but this company blew that baseline out of the water.
To find a Safari company I did a Google search and filled out a sort of questionnaire to detail what we were looking for. Esther Maina from Leisure Escapes Safaris responded within a few hours with a full quote and detailed itinerary. Over the next week or so, a couple of other companies responded, but Esther's quote was the lowest. I am apprehensive about picking the lowest bid, but at the time 44 of 45 reviews were 5 stars, and 1 was 4 star. However, that is a low number of reviews compared to some other companies that has several hundred. The other issue was that many reviews used the word "professional" with similar themes. I wondered if these reviews were real. I needn't have worried. I asked my son who is well versed in sniffing out issues to look at them. He verified that they were real reviews from real people. I reached out to Esther to ask why they had so few reviews. She immediately responded that they were a new company that started just before the pandemic and then had to take a break. They were starting again. Because Esther was so responsive, my wife and I felt good about moving forward with this company. BEST decision ever. We paid the deposit and as we worked through the details of the trip, we emailed Esther several times, and each time the response was prompt and comprehensive, even when we had asked the same question previously.
We were spending another week in Kenya after the Safari, so we asked Esther if she could help plan the other days we were in Nairobi and Diani. Again prompt comprehensive responses. But the kicker that sent me over the top on this company is what happened when our initial flight out of Dallas got delayed and we missed connections in NY and Paris. We were rebooked by Delta on Kenya Airways, but we were getting there a day late and so would lose the hotel reservation in Nairobi the day before the safari. Because the flight out of Nairobi back to Dallas at the end of the trip was at 10:30 at night, Esther took it upon herself to ask the hotel to let us stay in the room until it was time to leave for the airport, rather than giving up the room at the customary morning check out time. She argued that we had paid for but not used the rooms at the start of the trip, so requested them to swap out the days. This was a game changer for us as we were able to explore the city during the day and then come back to the hotel to shower and change before the long flight back home.
I have a long career in customer facing roles, and so I know what I am talking about when I say this company sets the Gold Standard.
The Safari itself was great. Our guide/driver Duncan was incredible at spotting animals with the naked eye, which we struggled to see with binoculars. Often he was the first to spot animals and then radio the other drivers as to the location. He admitted we lucked out with how many animals we saw, including a pair of Lions mating, but I would like to give a lot of credit to his experience and skill .
He was also calm, kind and low key and we always felt safe with him, particularly on the long drivers between the parks. Where other people on the road seemed reckless, Duncan put safety first.
I give this company, Esther and Duncan the highest possible recommendation. Well done!!

8-DAY HONEYMOON EXPERIENCE!!
I was wondering where to go after our wedding. We wanted something that would be completely different, secluded, and surrounded by nature. That's when I found this 8-day honeymoon package from Seven Wonders Safaris. On the very first day Arusha arrived, the guide welcomed us with a smile. After entering Tarangire National Park the next day, nature seemed to fall in love with us. A huge herd of elephants, a forest of babblers, and our private jeep - we were alone in the middle of nature. The deer and lion that were seen in the daylight inside the crater of Ngorongoro, the candlelight dinner near that place at night, was like a dream. While looking into each other's eyes at the evening sundown in Serengeti, I realized that this trip is not just a trip - it's another form of love. Seven Wonders Safaris made every moment special for us, arranged in such a way that they knew our minds in advance.

They are professional, efficient, and friendly, creating a trip that is relaxing yet adventurous!
We had the absolute honeymoon of our dreams, thanks to the incredible team at Ndutu Green Explorers, especially our travel consultant, Tom, and our guide, Gilbert.
From the start, Tom was exceptional. He worked closely with us to curate a 6-day, 5-night safari that perfectly matched our vision, departing from and returning to Zanzibar and including stops at Tarangire National Park, the Central Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara. We asked for a mix of luxury and mid-range accommodations, and Tom delivered a beautifully balanced itinerary that exceeded our expectations.
What truly stood out was Tom’s responsiveness and patience. Despite going through 13 different safari versions, primarily due to our indecision, he remained incredibly kind, flexible, and helpful through it all. He always replied within 24 hours, often much sooner, and was consistently cheerful and collaborative. Even while we were on our trip, he regularly checked in to make sure everything was running smoothly. Meeting him in person at the airport was a lovely experience after months of planning together. He also went above and beyond by answering questions that weren’t even safari-related, like navigating taxis and currency exchange on Zanzibar.
Our guide, Gilbert, was equally phenomenal. He was knowledgeable, professional, and always seemed to have a sixth sense for where the action was. Thanks to him, we saw the Big Five, a cheetah, and countless other spectacular animals always from front-row vantage points. He created a calm, comfortable atmosphere from day one, and we truly enjoyed spending the week with him. Every morning, the truck was immaculately prepared, with bottled waters in our cup holders, snacks like cashews and Pringles in the front tray, and the mats shaken out to keep things dust-free. Lunchtime had a proper setup every day, complete with a tablecloth, drinks (including wine and beer), hot meals, and fresh fruit, all served with care.
We wholeheartedly recommend Ndutu Green Explorers to anyone looking for a customized, high-touch safari experience that not only caters to your preferences but also supports local Tanzanian communities. They made our honeymoon truly magical—and we can’t wait to return someday.

Unforgettable experience!
I did the tour with Makini. And it was my first experience to do a safari tour so i had no idea what to do actually. And the staff Naomi which was taking care of me helped me for everything about and during the tour. You can expect how perfect my tour was. I saw a lot of animals with the guide and every chef cooked such a nice meal. You won’t regret to choose them!
