Bursting with knowledge
My tour guide, Inno, was fantastic to say the least… wow. What a tour he gave us!!! It was nothing short of greatness. We asked, he delivered and my family and me had expectations set which he didn’t just hit… he smashed them. We saw the great migration, leopards, lion cubs and even a cheetah chase. My only request would be for it to continue on for another eternity!! If I could give him 10000 stars I would. He delivered nothing but greatness, knowledge and passion!

Reliable and easy going. Respects everyone's needs
From the very beginning i was very satisfied with the offer and arrangements for the trip. I felt safe throughout the entire trip. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to spend time in the company of top local guides.

Very helpful and quite responsive！
Thanks very much for our agent Jemimah, we booked a 11 days safari from Kenya to Tanzania on a affordable price, actually we’ve compared with other agencies, they very competitive price, and surprisingly it turned out a very good experience. Jemimah helped us customising our trip as we requested a specific hotel and made some changes to the itineraries accordingly. She also helped us dealing with it within minutes when there was unexpected issues with our Tanzania accommodation, which ensured a smooth journey. We are grateful for the quick response and will definitely recommend to our friends in the future!

An Unforgettable Safari
We did the 4D/3N safari in the Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru with our guide, Samuel Chege. An absolute 10 as a person, guide, and driver. He was very friendly and attentive, and gave us information about the animals we saw. He made sure we were comfortable and well taken care of at all times. We really appreciate the sense of safety he gave us.
As for the organization, the third day of the tour was the weakest. You spend most of the day on the road heading to Lake Nakuru. However, in the morning we were able to visit a Maasai village ($20 per person). Also, due to rain and muddy roads, we couldn’t make the optional stop at Lake Naivasha. When we arrived in Nakuru, the hotel we were supposed to stay in was full, so we had to be relocated to another hotel of a lower category.
All in all, the experience was unforgettable, and we would definitely do it again because of its great value for money.

Helpful before
Benson was really helpful before I arrived in Nairobi, and I had a great five-day safari with Tall Masai Safaris. I made several friends there, and the accommodations were better than I had anticipated. I would definitely suggest this trip.

Choose Liyu if you want an unforgettable, safe, and fantastic guide to Ethiopia.
Liyu Ethiopia Tours made our visit to Ethiopia unforgettable! Yhun, the manager, was in constant communication with us before and during our trip, keeping us up-to-date with local conditions. We booked a trip to Wenchi Crater and 2 days in Gondar through Liyu.
The trip to Wenchi was incredible. Early in the morning, our guide Oli, and the driver, picked us up from our hotel in Addis Ababa, and drove us the 3.5ish hours to Wenchi. We spent the morning hiking through the crater lake, taking in the natural beauty—this is something Yhun made sure to include in our itinerary after we expressed our desire to focus more on Ethiopia's natural wonders. Oli was a fantastic guide: he was very knowledgeable, kind, and quite funny. We enjoyed a traditional coffee ceremony, boat ride, and lunch before returning to Addis Ababa.
We had a similarly fantastic experience in Gondar. Yhun arranged our transport from our hotel to the airport, and arranged for transport in Gondar (flight costs were on our own). Yhun is very well connected with guides across Ethiopia. In Gondar, he introduced us to Alex and Grum. Alex led us on an excellent hike through Kosoye viewpoint, and Grum was a wonderful guide to Gondar. Yhun also arranged for all our airport transfers, which was certainly a welcome benefit.
In short, Yhun made sure that all our needs and wishes were tended to and that we felt at home (and safe!) while visiting Ethiopia. The prices were fair and reasonable, and we would not hesitate to choose Liyu Ethiopia Tours for our future visits.

Really made our safari experience exceptional was Abner Safaris
The company that really made our safari experience exceptional was Abner Safaris. Robert and his team made every moment special with the highest level of customer service and personal attention. Their smiles and genuine approach made the trip that much more enjoyable. Especially Robert, he is a skilled professional who made us enjoy countless unique moments.

Very fair and to the point
I took 5 day budget safari and overall was very satisfied in the end. A lot of safari experience relies on the tourguide/driver and we were lucky to get very experienced and professional one (Tom). We saw big 5 (except for leopard) and ugly 5 (except from stork). plus a lot of other wildlife. Accomodation was not priority for me, so I took budget option, which included quite run-down hotels/camp with limited food options but very fair for the price paid. If you want at least 4-star hotel experience, take more expensive options.

Service delivery that exceeds clients' expectations.
Our girls trip to Zanzibar was very exciting and successful thanks to the excellent work done by the company. They clearly understood our needs and put together a package that responded to those needs. The choice of hotel, tour guides, transport and other services were top notch and gave us value for money. Our focal person from the company was very warm and nice. She made time to meet us on arrival and joined us for some of the activities. She provided daily updates and checked in at the end of each day, just to be sure we were ok. Overall, it was an enjoyable experience which came at a very affordable cost.
