Our driver Hassan has been amazing - excellent driving, great guide, very knowledgable, helpful and friendly.
Excellent safari choice day trip to Terengere National park withMali Kale Africa Safaris
We booked our day trip online, everthing went fine, Richard greeted us day before and introduce with driver and give us breef about the trip. The next day we kick off, sharp at 6am in big safari jeep, they collected lunch on the way which was by the way delicious. After 2+h we arrived at NP. The driver was exscelent carring, and had good eye to spot anymals in the park. He realy put effort and we have seen enough of diferent animals for that day, maybe we were lucky as I am most of the time, so this time as well:). Just joking bit, great choice and I would use them again and highly recomend to people who search for safari company.

Wonderful and amazing
The service was excellent. They were considerate and caring. They made sure that everyone was alright and had enough water and food for the whole group. I got to learn a lot about Hell's Gate as we walked through the gorges.

Nice 3.5 day trip to Lake Navasha/Masai Mara (booked on very short notice)
A friend referred several safari operators for us.
We, a couple around 30 years old, wrote all of them via email.
Fika Safari responded rather quickly and offered a reasonable price.
Circa 10 friendly e-mails and a few days later everything was set.
The following week, we had a awesome Safari experience in Kenya.
We would clearly recommend this operator

Wonderful Safari experience
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Stephen and his team from Kichaka once again for a wonderful Safari experience which exceeded our expectations.
This was my second Safari in Kenya, my last Safari with another local company was a disaster, the other company just left us to our fates at the beginning of the journey in the Masai Mara. After this traumatising Safari I still wanted to give it another try. I wanted to have good memories of Kenya and a Safari. So I started to search for a reliable local company once again, I like to book through local companies because I want that the money I spent to go fully to the locals. We were very suspicious because of my last safari experience but Kichaka was patient, professional and trustworthy.
We booked with them a 15 days Safari and beach holiday. Our driver guide Joseph had eagle eyes and was always punctual and drove safely, we appreciated his quiet demeaneor. We were very lucky on this safari and got to see all the big five and many more animals, we saw four leopards and eight rhinos etc.
The parks we visited were:
Lake Nakuru (Sopa Lodge)
Masai Mara (Keekorok)
Lake Naivasha (Sopa Lodge)
Amboseli ( Kibo Safari Camp)
Tsavo West and East (Voi Wildlife Lodge)
Each park had its own character. The accommodation that Kichaka selected for us was exceptional. Each Camp/Lodge had something different to offer: the view, the animals in the garden, a hippo pool behind the lodge, waterhole in front of the lodge.
The next time I am in Kenya I will 100% use the services of Kichaka again. Asante sana for a wonderful safari.

Professional tour planning with a local operator
Tongesai provided professional service with excellent communications to arrange our three day Hwange safari at Sable Sands. Tongesai and his company can arrange many different personalized trip itineraries and tours, but we only had him help with the safari booking and transport to Sable Sands. He provided clean, safe transport with excellent driving (he drove us himself). Sable Sands itself is an excellent safari lodge with professional guides that we greatly enjoyed. Sitting at dinner watching the staff encourage elephants to move off the lodge grounds, and being kept awake listening to elephants splashing in the water hole and trumpeting outside our hut is a particular memory.
In all, we felt Cultural Vibes provided a good value and professional booking service. Payment was simple using a secure bank payment system (a sort of PayPal), and much cheaper than bank transfers. Tongesai also has a shop in the Elephant Walk shopping area, and we got some batik table runners there.

15 Day Uganda & Rwanda Safari
My husband and I booked a private 15 days Uganda and Rwanda tour with Prime Safaris after reading excellent reviews of the company and having Cate finalise an itinerary that would showcase both wildlife and landscapes.
The entire trip went very smoothly; our driver guide Denis was very professional and made sure that all our expectations were met, if not surpassed. The mostly luxury accommodation was perfect for our needs and we thoroughly enjoyed each day's sights and activities.
Having visited many other countries in Africa we arrived in Uganda/Rwanda thinking that we would see some different landscapes and learn more about the people, culture and history of those not- so- visited countries. We took the view that any amazing wildlife sightings (especially our favourites the big cats) would be 'icing on the cake'. As it turned out, we had many fantastic sightings of lions and leopards throughout Uganda, we saw even more lions in the fabulous Akajera NP in Rwanda, and the mountain gorilla experience in Bwindi NP was just incredible.
We are fortunate to travel several times a year and have visited countless countries and all continents. This safari experience would definitely be in our top five trips of all time.
We rarely return to one country as there is always a new place to visit, but we will definitely return to Uganda to experience more of the east and north-east and to revisit the wonderful Murchison Falls NP. We hope to do this in the next two years, once again utilising the services of Prime Safaris and especially Cate and Denis.
