Fantastic experience
We had the pleasure of spending 6 days on safari across Africa with Yasim as our guide and driver — and we couldn’t have asked for anyone better. He’s a skilled and responsible driver, always prioritizing our safety and comfort. His calm personality, great sense of humor, and professionalism made the journey even more enjoyable.
We’re especially grateful for how he handled a very tense situation on June 25th, during the protests and unrest in Kenya. While crossing through a difficult area, his composed demeanor and quick thinking got us out safely — even putting himself at risk to protect us.
Thank you, Yasim, for your patience, care, and for making this adventure unforgettable. You were truly the heart of our journey. I hope this company knows how to take care of their staff.

Kenya with Yasin. Unforgettable!
An unforgettable trip made even more special thanks to Yasin.
He was a friend, a constant but competent presence and always ready to help us even in difficult moments.
We shared laughter, discovered the wonder of nature and Kenyan culture, and lived days that will remain in our hearts. We couldn't have asked for anything better!

Excellent Safari with Gametrackers!
Adrian was an excellent guide and driver, and we had a wonderful Safari! He catered very well to our needs, especially understanding that we had a young child and also that we had done many safaris before. Thank you Adrian for the excellent adventure! Gametrackers were also able to accommodate all my requests to stay inside the park and travel by 4x4 safari jeep despite making the inquiry and booking with only a few days notice. This is very much appreciated and it was excellent service.

Great experience from Safari tour with African Steenbok Safafri
We have great experience for the Safari tour, hotel, and food. The only downside is the Wifi in Tanzania.

The most amazing guide one could ask for
This safari far exceeded our expectations. I don’t know where to begin. Our guide was fabulous. It was as though he had ESP to where to find the animals. His knowledge of them was incredible. Our lodging were fabulous every place we went. We were treated with kindness and grace. The meals were all wonderful. We had never been to Kenya before and found the people here so genuinely helpful and kind. The parks we visited were amazing. Our driver gave us facts about the people, the landscape, the plants, the trees, the birds, and the animals that we never knew. His warmth and wit made us always feel calm and welcomed. I can strongly recommend this company as the planning and communication was excellent. I’m hoping that other members of my family will book a Safari with them and our amazing guide Mbaruk in the near future. I sent pictures to friends and they said they felt like they were on a National Geographic tour, which is exactly how we felt too. Thank you for this amazing opportunity King Tomondo Safari tours.

An Unforgettable Wildlife and Cultural Journey with Frena Adventure
Not only did I encounter golden monkeys and mountain gorillas, but I also enjoyed the breathtaking landscapes and rich culture along the Rwanda–Uganda border. Frena Adventure offered several tour plans tailored to my budget, and everything went smoothly without any trouble throughout the trip.
Their itineraries allowed me to appreciate not just the wildlife, but also the natural beauty and cultural richness of the region.
Classic Lodge was impressively luxurious for a mid-range option, featuring a pool, spa, and even a sauna.
At Gorilla Lodge, I had an incredible experience immersed in the rainforest.
The lodge was located on the only island in the lake that is home to wild animals, and the lounge provided a panoramic view of the water.
I highly recommend Frena Adventure for anyone seeking an unforgettable and well-rounded African journey.

Management good, drivers not
We went on a seven day safari in Kenya with Josana tours.
The positive side was Joseph (the manager). Very kind, flexible, responsive and professional before and during the safari. If the review was only about him, it would definitely be a five stars!
The downside were the two drivers we got (Sam and Joseph).
Just a few examples below:
- On the first day in Nairobi, they were one hour late to pick us up and bring us to the agency for the payment of the balance. As a result we arrived late at Masai Mara (in the program it said we were supposed to get there for lunch, we arrived at 4pm) with a very short safari.
- After that, they have been late (20,30,40 minutes) to pick us up in the morning every day except for one. Twice we faced the bizarre situation of having all tourists in the group waiting outside the hotel with the bags and the driver not being there.
- You get a driver, not a guide. Zero explanations on animals, parks, etc. the driver wasn't saying anything. In other jeeps we could hear drivers providing explanations and even having guide books on animals.
- For the full day safari, instead of leaving early in the morning (prime time to see predators) like you do with other agencies, they would make you leave the accommodation at 8:30. At Amboseli we were literally the last tourists left in the entire lodge waiting for the guide to go to the park and start the safari. Of course, no predators seen that morning. Same for the way back, instead of leaving the park in the late afternoon to see animals (predators in particular) before sunset they would make you leave at 4:30.
- One of the two drivers driving on the highway incredibly slow (being passed by all other jeeps and minivans) to save gas ( and complaining once about how much gas he had used).
- Broken seat belts on both jeeps. Not an issue inside the park but dangerous on the highway.
- One day, no water provided until mid-day (one liter per person was included). We had to write to the manager to finally get the driver to buy it.
- One day the driver brought us to a restaurant at 11am (lunch was included) and wanted us to wait in the parking lot for an hour for the restaurant to open rather than driving ahead and then stopping later (we still had 200 km to go) saying that all other restaurants on the way were too expensive.
- One of the drivers often texting and speaking on the phone while driving.
- Generally speaking, and more importantly, the feeling was that they would constantly try to reduce the time dedicated to safari, rushing you through. A couple of times we had to write to the manager essentially in order to ensure that the program was respected. As an example, at Nakuru they tried to have only a 2-hour game drive. Whilst for the drivers having a shorter safari is good (time, energy and gas savings), this is really bad for you as a tourist, as game driving and animals sighting is exactly the reason why tourists go to Kenya... You should just relax and enjoy the safari, not having to discuss with the agency about the program being followed when it comes to game drive time slots.
