Review about Masai Mara National Reserve by Claudia
If you can only go to one park, then this is the one to visit. The animals at Masai Mara were everywhere. This is the park you think of when imagining a safari. We saw several prides of lions in this park. There were many hippos and crocodiles in the Mara River. The wildebeest were still grazing on the Mara and had not returned to Tanzania.

Review about Lake Nakuru National Park by Claudia
Lake Nakuru has a severe problem with flooding but this did not seem to affect the animals. We saw the Rothschild giraffes, large cape buffalo herds and black rhinos here. There was more vegetation at this park but when you got to the open plain, the animals were visible.

Review about Amboseli National Park by Claudia
The elephants in Amboseli had so much personality. They headed to the swamp to graze and it was fun to see so many. With Mount Kilimanjaro in the background, our pictures in this park were superb. This is where we saw the flamingos, hyenas, hippos and lots of zebras and giraffes.

Kenya is amazing!
My son and I had a wonderful experience. The parks were spectacular. The drivers were personable, friendly, and knowledgeable. If you go economy, know you will be in an older van, with older shocks, and older seats. And that if you go to more than one park, you will be traveling a fair amount in the van. My son and I were fine but you should be aware of the hours of travel on fairly rough roads. But other than that, it really was a once in a lifetime experience. The only of the big five that we did not see was a leopard. I guess we will have to go back.

This was a trip of a lifetime-amazing!
Kenya Walking Survivors Safaris was everything they advertised. If I could give 10 stars, I would and the price was very reasonable. Our guide, Al, was so knowledgeable and actually called animals so that they stood up for us to see (black rhino). We saw all the big five as well as many, many other animals including hundreds of birds. September was a perfect month because it was nice and cool but not rainy and certainly not crowded. We traveled in a Toyota van that handled the rocky roads easily. We visited Samburu, Nakuru, Masaii Mara, Elsamere at Navaisha, Ambroselli and Tsavo. Each park was different and had its highlights. Seeing a cheetah go for a wildebeest kill and a leopard trotting down the road in front of us were highlights but just watching the hippos in the river at the Masaii Mara and the elephants at Ambroselli and Samburu was fun. At Elsamere, the animals came to us with dik-diks, warthogs, giraffes, zebras and hippos coming into the yard of the compound to graze. Our accommodations in all the parks were very comfortable and even luxurious at some places (how many hotels welcome their guests with 2 dozen beautiful roses for the room). Our guide was patient and kind making sure that we saw whatever we wanted and he worked really hard to find the animals. The people of Kenya were so welcoming to us. Everyone should experience this.

Best experience ever! totally recommendable
Everything was amazing, people, food, wildlife and scenarios. The only thing I couldn´t do was the panorama sighting because there was a fire.

Each moment is a surprise
During each visit, in Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Dar Es Salam, Massai village and Zanzibar, occurs a lot of surprise, astonishment, wonder.
Each area is very different, so in one trip you can make journeys.

ABSOLUTELY THE PERFECT CHOICE TO HELP US PLAN OUR FIRST SAFARI
My wife and I, along with two dear friends chose Sun Safari to help us plan our first safari and our first trips to Africa. Michelle did an incredible job guiding us through the process and selecting all of the accommodations. We gave her a budget and some ideas of what we wanted and she took care of the rest. We couldn't be happier with the service, communications, planning and logistics that Sun Safaris provided. The trip far exceeded our expectations and we would happily work with Sun Safaris again.

Self drive tour with itinerary and bookings from Lily and 4X4 rental from Tristan ran like clockwork
Arranged everything online and Lily provided custom made itinerary and bookings, and Tristan provided the 4x4 truck from Cardboard Box. Responses online were professional and efficient. From the moment we arrived in Windhoek we were in good hands. We were transported by Raymond their driver and at the office received friendly attention to everything we needed including Tristan's personal service with our almost brand new 4X4 Toyota truck. All Lily's accommodation bookings worked beautifully (although we met some people whose paid and confirmed bookings from other travel agents didn't work in two places). Earlier I had tried to create our own itinerary and book accommodations in Namibia and Botswana but it was too difficult. We could not have done this remarkable and great self drive tour without the Cardboard Box Travel Shop. We feel fortunate that we found them. We highly recommend the Cardboard Box Travel Shop Namibia if you want a self drive tour in Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, and/or South Africa. Thank you to everyone at the office - especially Lily and Tristan.
