Unforgettable honeymoon
We have just returned home after the most amazing honeymoon. We did a 7 night luxury safari with African Big Cats and it was everything we dreamed of and more. From initial planning conversations to helping us with airline issues on departure, Emanuel and Naomi were extremely helpful for which we are so grateful!
We spent the week with our guide Lovoi and had such an unforgettable time with him. He shared his vast knowledge of the local culture and animals. He knew the best spots to go to and spotted the animals a mile off, and we were often away from the crowds which made our time so special. We saw all the big 5 which was a bonus. Our highlights were seeing a pride of lions (11!), the wildebeest migration and the many scenic lunch spots we stopped at, enjoying lunch together whilst up close to the animals!
The safari vehicle was comfortable, plenty of charging points and fridge always full of drinks. Even after long dusty rides, Lovoi would ensure the vehicle was clean the next day which was great and very much appreciated.
We could not fault the accommodation we stayed in, all luxurious, clean and lovely food and staff. It was nice to relax by the pools after a full day out. The pack up options were all lovely too.
We would go back in a heartbeat and have recommended African Big Cats to our family of friends.

Excellent Safari Experience
From our first communication with Phinorah to our final few moments with Jonathan, our guide/driver, our seven day safari was excellent. Our accommodations at the four locations where we stopped were exceptional. The game drives in each park provided many opportunities for seeing many animals of every kind.

10/10 Experience
Wow where to begin, Suricata Safaris were amazing. We made contact with Suricata through safari bookings and from start to finish they were excellent.
We were in contact with Davis who organised and communicated everything to us regarding our booking and making a few extra little requests happen. When we arrived in Tanzania we were greeted at the airport for our transfer which took about an hour to our hotel, booked as part of our safari at the beginning and the end. The hotel was ok nothing special but we were greeted that afternoon by Daniel who gave us a briefing regarding the next few days on safari.
The next day we met our guide Amiri, he was so very kind and caring. Nothing was too much trouble. His knowledge and animal spotting during the safari was great and he was a really great person to enjoy the trip with. Very good driver I couldn't believe he never got tired but yes Amiri was great. We also had Tito the camp chef. He was great fun and so hard working. Always cooking and helping us set up tents and take them down.
The drive through the National Parks were incredible and made more so by Amiri and Suricata Safaris and the accomodation that we had been booked into by Suricata was awesome. We had such a good time at all the camps.
When we got back to the hotel we were greeted by Daniel again who arranged a city trip for us the following day. Kevin picked us up and we were greeted with a driver and he showed us the sights of Arusha, the cultural arts centre was a must, I could have spent hours there in the art gallery. We also went round a market which was very interesting the food was incredible to see. All in all I couldn't recommend Suricata Safaris highly enough. The experience was made all the more for their help, assistance and guidance through the whole trip. Transfers to and from the airport were great to as was the extra tour around Arusha. Would definitely recommend.

friendly, knowledgeable, punctual, professional
We cannot say enough good things about Spirit of Kenya! Our trip planner Victor and guide Dominic went above and beyond to make the 6-day safari memorable for my mom (72 years old) and me.
From the start, Victor was very responsive to all of our queries and requests, and helped us to create an individualized itinerary, which included stops at Amboseli, Lake Naivasha, and Masai Mara.
Our wonderful guide Dominic was friendly, courteous, punctual, and very knowledgeable about Kenya's culture and its wildlife. Dominic navigated the streets of Nairobi as well as the grasslands with ease, and he worked very hard, often coordinating with other guides, to ensure that we saw as many animals (lions, zebra, cheetah, rhinos, hyenas) as possible. The jeep that he drove was fully enclosed and very comfortable. We would recommend Spirit of Kenya to anyone looking for a lovely, stress-free trip to Kenya!

My tour operator was fantastic. He was insightful, funny and knowledgeable. Made the trip great!
My overall experience was superb. The trip was well organized and run very efficiently. I particularly enjoyed the overnight stop between Tarangire and Ngorongoro national parks. The food and entertainment at this stop was world class. At Ngorongoro, I got the rare experience of seeing a lion eating a zebra carcass from only a few feet away! Highly recommend and would definitely go on another safari with Karibu.

10 days Kenia and Tanzania
We opted for a budget tour. For such a small price, the safari was fantastic. The accommodations were clean, the food was delicious, and we saw what we wanted—lots of animals. Many thanks to Lizzy, she always answered our many questions quickly and accommodated our special requests. We can only recommend this tour operator.

This Kenya trip creating memories to last a lifetime.
This 13-day Kenya trip was unforgettable: tracking the Special Five in Samburu, seeing rare caracals, elephant families playing in water, black rhinos and hyenas competing for lion prey in Sweetwater, waterbirds and lions mating at Lake Nakuru, the Big Five in Maasai Mara with impressive leopards and majestic lions, cheetahs and herbivores, hiking near animals at Lake Naivasha, flamingos and elephants in Amboseli. We saw almost all animals, thanks to Leopard Travel's careful arrangements and Mr. Lawrence's professional guiding. Grateful and will visit Kenya again.

Go with Lenchada if you want a great experience at an unbeatable price! (Shoutout to Richie!)
I went on the 7 day budget safari with my wife and our friends and we could not be happier with our experience! Lenchada offered us a great price for an amazing week of activities, adventure, and animal spotting! It was a trip that I will never forget and I have to shout out the most amazing guide, Richie, for making it so memorable!
The Lenchada 7 day budget tour has "budget" in the title, but it feels like way more. We stayed 4 nights at very nice camping sites and 2 nights at great hotels. Everything was clean, we had our own bathrooms with showers, comfy beds, and we were well fed with great food at every location. I can't believe how much was included with our package. And the locations and timing for the safari were perfect. We definitely had enough time to explore places like Maasai Mara, Naivasha, Nukuru, Hell's Gate, and Amboseli. In addition to seeing the sights from our Land Cruiser, we were able to have some great experiences biking, hiking, and boating as well! I would definitely recommend booking the private tour to streamline the timing of things and it makes it easier when everyone in your group is on the same page (saw that with other groups that we encountered).
This trip offers everything that you could possibly want in a safari. We saw the Big 5, plus countless of other animals and birds. We learned about the culture of Kenya and of many of the tribes in the country. We travelled through a lot of the country and had many hours in our vehicle, but it never felt too long because of how nice our vehicle was (a VERY spacious and comfy Toyota Land Cruiser) and how much information Richie provided. He seemed to know about everything that we saw and seemed to know everyone that we encountered. Richie is one of the most knowledgeable and friendly people that I have ever met. It was his expertise that led us to finding so many animals in the parks and also giving us cool experiences to enjoy for ourselves (We sat for 20 min in Maasai Mara with just us and a lone elephant and later a lone lion resting after a meal. Both unforgettable.) He safely guided us through the streets during country-wide protests and we always felt safe with him there. It was an amazing experience with him. I'm very grateful that we had Richie to guide us through our trip and to have him as a friend at the end.
I will 1000% be recommending Lenchada to all of my friends and family that are interested in a safari and I will make sure that they request Richie as their guide as well!
