The best family adventure ever!
We had an absolutely amazing experience with Kenya Expresso from start to finish! From the very first contact 6 months ago, Paul, Faith and the team were highly knowledgable, flexible, listened to our requirements and provided fabulous options at an honest price. They were also kind, responsive and patient with us and we ended up booking an amazing tailored trip. Then at very short notice ( a matter of weeks), due to a family event we had to move our trip forward, they managed it and again were kind and patient and reassuring. We arrived and met Paul ( we were lucky to have Paul the MD as our guide for the safari part) and our trip of a lifetime started. Paul is highly knowledgable about the country and also animals, knows where to spot them, is well known by others at the park and we ended up seeing far more animals than we could have ever hoped for, all the big 5 and so much more. We did Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Ol Peljeta and Samburu and also saw many baby animals, animals on honeymoon and animals eating their catch so a full circle of life. The vehicle was great and the tented camps were also fabulous, great locations and staff, great comfort and food including gluten free options. We also enjoyed our visits to a Masai village and a Samburu village, great learnings for our teenage children. We then took the train to Mombasa and spent a few days at Diani beach which was very relaxing and beautiful and our drivers on those trips Jackson and Julius were friendly and knowledgeable. The true highlights of the tour were seeing all the animals and our chats with Paul, the 4 of us agreed this is our best family trip ever, the adventure of a lifetime and we already can’t wait to go again one day. So if you are thinking of booking a safari trip to Kenya or a number of other countries, then honestly look no further, Paul and Faith can organise the perfect trio for you. THANK YOU guys we miss you already.

You made our trip unforgettable: thank you!
Fantastic experience with very professional guide: Focus and intern: Izaak. They made the trip fun, safe and entertaining. Thanks to Goodluck, company owner, for all arraignments and customer-focus responding to our needs and special inquiries. Great selection of accommodation and crew. We spent lovely 8 days in Serengeti, Ngorongoro with extra day visit to experience life of local Hadzaba tribe. We were lucky to see the great migration through Mara river, liomess on a tree and rhino. We are super satisfied and can totally recommend this company.

Shafino is a real expert and we learned a lot about the animals and nature of Tanzania.
We had a wonderful time on our safari with Shafino. Shafino is a true expert and in the Serengeti he was vale to spot all the animals and tell us fascinating stories about them and the nature surrounding us. Highly recommended!

Extremely helpful & accommodating, they created the most unforgettable experience of our lives.
I can not recommend Elephant Herd Safaris Enough. They created a personalized trip with everything that we wanted to experience & explore in South Africa. We wanted to experience Kruger & Sabi Sands private reserve & the accommodation they offered was outstanding 5 star with exceptional service & food. Our flight was delayed and it caused an issue with our itinerary but they were at the end of the phone helping me navigate new flights & changed our itinerary to ensure everything we wanted to do was still feasible with some amendments. Their communication was quick & tour guides were extremely knowledgeable & helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. It was truly a trip of a lifetime and I am so thankful I choose this company. The peace of mind for having everything organized and support when needed took the stress out planning the trip myself. I would highly recommend they really went out of their way to make this trip special.

Excellent guides, fantastic safari and Mount Meru experience
Great holiday experience with Kiliholidays.
We did the 4 day Mount Meru hike, followed by 5 day private safari tour. Very knowledgeable and friendly guides and porters.
Meru was excellent - really felt cared for. Lodging basic but comfortable. Only improvement would be sending a kit list before arrival - we hadn't done an activity like this before and weren't sure of clothing needed/if we needed sleeping bags (they were hired for us upon request) or what the facilities were/ whether water would be provided (bring water bladder if you have it; water is provided but you need to take a reusable bottle - these can be hired at entrance to Meru park.) A brief kit list would have put our minds at rest!
Also be aware of tipping rates when factoring in cash ($20 per day for guide, $15 for cook, $10 for porters up Meru; $20 - $30 for safari guide).
Safari also excellent - guide fantastic with 10+ years of experience. Accommodation was excellent, vehicle was comfortable. Saw the big 5, which was incredible.
Only improvement would be communication ahead of arrival - kit list etc would have made the process feel smoother. Once on the trip, however, the experience was excellent. Would recommend.

Delivered above & beyond!! Gorillas a MUST see!!!
When I started looking for an African operator I was a bit nervous and went by the reviews so I hope this one can help others.
Whatever I can say of Lush Arican Safaris will come short. I had the best experience posible with them. I'll break it down.
Communications: Back and forth with Abbey was always smooth, clear and most importantly quick. Either by email or WhatsApp, he was always reachable and answered back. You can feel he knows every trip is special and treats it that way, very personal and warm. From the first quote, to the very last day and even beyond (they helped us recover my daughter's AirPods and took them to our hotel in Nairobi, thank you Flouzine and Jackson!) So I can say that they are TOTALLY RELIABLE.
Value for money: obviously African safaris are a bit on the expensive side but every dolar we payed was totally worth it. The experiences we had were unbelievable and once in a lifetime. They even upgraded us in a couple of hotels and lodges.
Service in Africa: This is also something that was just perfect and I might come short on my praises. The whole team is very profesional. The guide/drivers we were assigned in Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania were just the best! They really know what they're doing and not only they treat you great, but they put us once and again in the best spots to enjoy the different sights and spectacles. Specially Derrick in Uganda and Joseph in Tanzania were not only real pros, but I can definitely say that we struck real friendships with them.
Finally, we took a12-Day Great Migration & Great Apes Safari (Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania). I might say that if either because of time or budget concerns you are deciding whether or not to visit the Gorilas in Uganda, it is a no brainer GO SEE THE GORILLAS. This was definitely the highlight of our whole trip, really something words can't describe and an experience that will forever remain in our minds.

Shafino is an extremely experienced and very knowledgeable tour operator. He was very welcoming and did everything in his power and more to meet our needs. We set a target of what we wanted to see on when we stated the tour and we met those targets early in the tour. We left Tanzania wanting more and we will definitely go back!

Solomon Safaris is a tour operator specializing in unforgettable wildlife safaris in Tanzania.
King Solomon Safaris made my trip unforgettable! Communication was quick and friendly, and everything ran smoothly from start to finish. Our guide(Eric) was knowledgeable, fun, and made every game drive exciting. Great service, good value, and memories my family and I we’ll treasure forever! Zanzibar was enjoyable and more. I might book for the next safari with my family in 2026 with King Solomon.
