A friendly memorable 10-day gorilla trekking safari
We were referred to gorilla tour booking safaris from a friend who booked her gorilla trekking packed vacation a few years ago. We planned to do the same itinerary and was so fortunate to work with Ronald. We reached out to him with our available dates and requests, and he responded so quickly with a quote and options. Unfortunately, the lodge we had requested was not within our budget so we had to go with another.
The communication was so great, We did so many activities but the peak of journey was gorilla trekking. The night before the trek started, all we could dream about was to meet these strong, brave, and kind animals. In the morning, we couldn’t wait any longer because we were fully prepared. It’s an experience that even the movies I seen about the gorillas can’t really mimic so well. Everybody in this world needs to experience this adventure.

Best customer service
From start to finish the level of services we received was very interesting, this was the 1st time taking my small family to tanzania. Bright world safaris gave us what we expected and more our next challenge is Mount Kilimanjaro. In regards to communication I could not fault them whatsoever. Bless Tanzania.
Great trip!
Wild Destinations asked generally where I wanted to take my family, the timeline, and the price range. Then they arranged everything, from flights to lodging to transportation. Normally on these types of trips, I play tour guide because I live in the area. But because Wild Destinations had taken care of everything, I could relax and enjoy the trip with my family! Also, the tour guides and lodging that they set me up with were all great!
I like it and enjoyed a Lot
‘’Top Notch All Around!”
My first time to african safari trip and what a wonderful experience it was! Keddy was patient and responsive to emails. Competitive price. Top notch service all around from accomodation to vehicle to unlimited cold drinks. We stayed at the beautiful Burudika Manyara Wildlife Lodge in Manyara. Make sure you go to the lake and see thousands of pink flamingos. The Acacia Tented Camp is very nice and comfortable. We heard the lion roar in the middle of the night, very special. In Ndutu we encountered mother cheetah with her four cubs. Wow. Our driver, Beatus is highly knowledgeable, a real good driver and has an eagle eye to spot the animals. All in all, a once in a lifetime experience. Thanks, Keddy and team for making it so memorable!

Fantastic mobile safari with the freedom to watch spectacular wildlife with truely expert guides.
The camping was just as you would want. Roomy tents with comfortable beds.
The chef, James, cooked excellent meals each night and made super picnic lunches when we needed them.
Talking around the campfire at night was great fun in excellent and convivial company. Taking Starlight pictures made us all appreciate the night sky too.
The experise of the guides were amazing. it was the adventure of a lifetime. I will do many more!

Great Safari!
Together with my parents, I had a really nice safari trip with Dusty Roads. Our guide Jeff told us a lot about the animals and nature in the several national parks we visited! Definitely worth it.

Review about Masai Mara National Reserve by Gowri
Simply the best experience of birding and wholesome wildlife watching in all of Kenya. We got to see the big cats, elephants, all kinds of herbivores and such a rich variety of birds. The camps are inside the Reserve and even the stay in the camps gets you so close to the wildlife. We stayed by a camp at River Talek and saw a leopard while walking to the restaurant for dinner! What an amazing abundance of diverse wildlife!

A scenic place for great birding
On a two-day trip to Lake Nakuru during the wet season in June, I didn't really expect much wildlife activity. But it was still worth a try because we were told that the place is quite scenic, a large tucked in a valley, surrounded by hills. That's not quite the stereotypical image of Kenyan landscape.
It rained in the afternoon when we reached our camp and the night was fairly cold. But the next morning was all clear skies and sunny, pleasant weather.
The birding was great and we even saw some flamingoes. Wildlife sightings were very satisfying too, we saw a family of the rare black rhino, giraffes, a couple of lion sightings and jackals. The rock hyrax was an unexpected delight.
The Flamingo Hill Camp is a comfortable place to stay. Maybe because it was the off-season, we saw no other safari vehicle and our time there felt quite exclusive.The lake looks spectacular from the Baboon Hill viewing spot. I would visit the place over and over!

Review about Kenya by Gowri
Kenya's open landscapes are teeming with wildlife. I was so happy to see zebras and gazelle right outside the Nairobi city limits. Great experience!
Off Season Safari Might Be Better
We didn't realize we were going during wet season (my brother and I did very minimal research). This turned out not to be bad at all! The parks only had a handful of other vehicles, and the conditions weren't too bad. We managed to stay dry for the majority of the safari. The tour guide was excellent: knowledgeable, a good eye for spotting animals, and a skilled driver for the rough, wet terrain. Camping in the parks was so much fun as were the stays in the lodges. The chef we had also provided us with great meals throughout the trip. This was an overall dream come true at an affordable price.
