Kenya safari better than we expected.
We had a fantastic safari experience with James Gichina as our guide. He was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and made every game drive exciting and informative. His sharp eye helped us spot the Big Five and so much more, all while making us feel safe and welcome throughout. James’s passion for wildlife and Kenya truly shone through. Highly recommend him for anyone planning a safari!

Excellent and reliable safari tour operator
We joined the 5 day Amboseli, Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara safari plus 2 days city tour in Nairobi. Phine Safaris exceeded our expectations in many areas. Perpetua was very responsive and excellent in communication and coordination before and throughout the trip. Our safari guide was very professional and worked hard to find the big 5 and many other animals. Our tour was ‘mid-range’ and the accommodations and food were above our expectations. The safari 4X4 vehicle was comfortable despite the bumpy road conditions. . The hotel, vehicle and driver for the city tour were also great. This was our first safari and it was such a smooth and unforgettable trip. We felt the tour was priced reasonably. I would not hesitate to recommend Phine Safaris to anyone looking for a reliable safari tour operator.

Unforgettable Safari with the Best Guide – James GiChina!
James GiChina made our Kenya safari absolutely magical! From tracking lions at sunrise in the Masai Mara to watching a herd of elephants cross right in front of our jeep, every moment felt straight out of a dream. He patiently waited with us as we spotted cheetahs in action, found hippos lounging in Lake Naivasha, and even surprised us with a close-up view of a rare rhino. His deep knowledge of wildlife and warm, accommodating nature made us feel safe, excited, and completely cared for. Truly the heart of our safari adventure!

He's amazing and knows so much about the animals, birds, tracking,etc
I had the most incredible experience with Wild Wonder Safari Co. during my 10-day trip this past December. From the moment we arrived, everything was perfectly planned and seamlessly executed, from airport pickup to our final drop-off. Every day was thoughtfully mapped out with unforgettable activities, and it was clear how much care and effort went into making our journey truly special.
One of the major highlights of our trip was spending a few nights inside Kruger National Park. It was absolutely amazing. We saw such a wide variety of animals, not just the Big Five, but many others that made each game drive unique and exciting.
Our guide, Keegan, was exceptional. He took great care of us and really considered our family’s interests, going above and beyond to make sure we had the best possible experience. His knowledge, patience, and enthusiasm made every moment even more memorable.
We’re already looking forward to coming back and would not hesitate to book again with Wild Wonder Safari Co. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a personalized and unforgettable safari adventure.

My best African safari to date!
I've done safaris in Kenya, Botswana, and South Africa, but none have come close to my wonderful experience in Uganda. From the start, Peter at Buyaga Safaris helped me plan all aspects of my 8-day safari, fielded all my questions, and exercised the utmost professionalism. He even checked on my visa application for me when it seemed to be taking too long. Then, once I arrived, I was met by Ossman, a vibrant, smart, and capable tourguide and driver who made my wild-cat dreams come through: we spotted 14 lions and my first leopard! Ossman took care of everything perfectly, and I just had to show up, relax, and enjoy the experience. The vehicle was really nice also. All in all 10/10, I highly recommend Buyaga.

Excellent planning and execution of our safari and so helpful!
Our trip went very well, right from the start Silver Spark helped us. Special mention to Kepha and Abongo who made our trip really memorable.
We booked an 8-day safari with Silver Spark Africa. Abongo, responds quickly to inquiries. This was my first safari in Africa, so I didn’t know what to expect: a competitive quote, excellent service, integrity, a reliable vehicle and a world class experience that is both unforgettable and safe all I could have asked for from them.
We are patrons of the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, so this safari was customized to allow us to spend time with foster elephant babies at both Ithumba and the Voi Stockade, as well as the Nairobi Nursery. Peter was also our driver, always punctual with our visitation schedule at the orphanages.
Ithumba must be the only place on earth where one can view wild elephants in such large numbers as they mingle with the orphans and other support workers, such an extraordinary experience.
We enjoyed several game drives in Tsavo West and East National Park. Peter, has a good eye and strong instinct when it comes to viewing wildlife.
For anyone planning a Kenya / Tanzania safari, Silver Spark Afruica should be your first contact.

From the moment we contacted Sunnycreek Safaris, James was our main point of contact—and we couldn’t have asked for a better coordinator. He was responsive, organized, and always available, answering every question and making us feel completely at ease before the trip even began.
And tour guide was James Gichina and he made the entire safari unforgettable. With his calm confidence and incredible eye for wildlife, he took us up close to lions, giraffes, zebras, and more—creating moments we’ll never forget. He ensured we stayed on schedule and we completed every stop on our itinerary with ease.
Our time in Masai Mara was magical, and Lake Naivasha was absolutely breathtaking. James’s warmth, professionalism, and deep knowledge made this trip seamlessl. If you’re planning a safari in Kenya, go with Sunnycreek Safaris—and ask for James. You won’t regret it! 🦁🦓🦒✨

A Magical Safari Experience with Magic of Wild in Tanzania

The guides were knowledgeable, passionate, and truly dedicated to showcasing the wonders of Tanzania's wildlife. Our safari took us to some of the most breathtaking national parks, including Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater.

There's no comparison for uniqueness! Our trip had everything we dreamed of and even more! AMAZING!!
EVERYTHING is already written!
Even the act of me writing this review and you reading it was already written.
For some, that may be a strange thought, as it gives the illusion that they have no control over their lives.
For others, however, it is the certainty that – no matter what may come – everything has its own purpose.
It was our purpose to cross paths with the greatest man of Tanzania – the one and only, the sensei of wildlife: Lukiano!
My girlfriend and I have met many people on our travels. Some were hospitable, kind, and helpful – and some we would have rather never met at all.
But none of them were like Lukiano!
With his calm yet energetic presence, he managed to make us feel safe in every situation.
And I truly mean EVERY situation!
Whether it was a lion majestically walking just inches past our open car window, or an elephant scratching it’s itchy back against our vehicle – one concerned glance towards Lukiano, one smile from him, and all our worries were gone till eternity.
Lukiano’s smile was, in fact, his constant companion – and never, truly never, was it fake or even slightly forced.
It was simply… REAL.
What a gift it is in today’s world to still experience such REALNESS – from such an impressive human being!
This realness was only outshined by his knowledge of the wildlife.
To cut it short: If the topic is wildlife, even ChatGPT would ask Lukiano.
It’s unbelievable how much this man knows!
But knowing is one thing – teaching that knowledge patiently and understandable is another.
Lukiano combines both like no one else!
He is simply a remarkable man – one of a kind, the best there is, the best there was and the best there ever will be.
Every great man throughout history of mankind needed a soulmate – someone to help unlock their full potential.
Lukiano’s soulmate is Dorit.
She gave us a constant sense of security and care. She looked after us when we were mentally and physically exhausted, kept us motivated time and time again, and made us laugh – and reflect – with her wonderful stories and life wisdom.
You could feel how pure her interest was, and how solution-focused she was in addressing our concerns.
And just like with Lukiano – always with a powerful, undeniable REALNESS.
On top of all that, she impressed with flawless organization and absolute professionalism in every aspect.
Together, the two of them are the true embodiment of:
Teamwork makes the dream work!
Two loving people who, in all likelihood, have found each other till infinity.
And to be honest – what could be more admirable than that?
If you’re looking for “something“ special, this is not the right couple for your trip – because with this couple, EVERYTHING is special!
It’s up to you whether you want to have the time of your life in Tanzania with this truly unique power couple.
Think about it…
But in the end, sometimes you have to be smart – and remember:
EVERYTHING is already written.

Well organized Safari trip with great wildlife, nature and culture sightings
We had an amazing 6 day Safari to Serengeti. Mary is a master organizer and took care of everything from planning this individual itinerary, accommodations etc. We will never forget this beautiful wild life encounters coming so close to many Lions, cheetahs and even the rare leopard. To top it all Mary even managed to get our lost luggage from the airport to us, which wouldn't been possible without her. Thanks again for everything 🙏
