Amazing wildlife, excellent service and guiding
We did a 4 day, private safari tour with Kenya Bush Expeditions, visiting Tsavo East, Amboseli and Tsavo West. We chose the mid-range accommodation package. The wildlife was amazing, and we got to see pretty much every big animal over the 4 days, as well as seeing the Kenyan countryside and people as we drove between the parks. Our guide, Stephen, was excellent. He was knowledgeable and always able to answer our questions, but also gave us space to just watch and discover things for ourselves, rather than continually talking at us. He was in touch with the other guides and vehicles to be able to find the big animals, of which we got to see lots. The lodges in Tsavo East and Tsavo West were on the older side, but that was easily made up for with the fantastic wildlife viewing from each lodge. The Amboseli Lodge was nicer and more modern, but outside the park and didn't have wildlife viewing opportunities. This trip was so much more than we'd expected. Thank you!

Wonderful to see animals in their native habitat
We enjoyed our week of visiting Arusha, taking a 4 day camping safari to the Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Tarangire, and hiking with a guide to the waterfall and coffee-growing village neat Kilimanjaro. I appreciated how much I could see and do in just a week. The people were friendly and helpful and the food was good.

Review about Ngorongoro Crater by Harriet
The setting and animals there are amazing, as is the Masai history.

Review about Serengeti National Park by Harriet
There are so many amazing animals to see in the Serengeti. We had considered a shorter safari that didn't go here and were glad we changed our minds and went. The Serengeti is renowned for good reason!

Review about Tarangire National Park by Harriet
We saw the most interesting birds on our day at Tarangire. It helped that one person in the group we were put with was especially interested in them and the rest were happy to learn, so we would stop and observe. We saw a group of elephants at the river and really had time to stop and observe them. The park felt uncrowded even at high season.

Unforgettable Adventure with Enjanga & Izzy
From start to finish, our experience with Enjanga Safaris was nothing short of extraordinary. The itinerary was perfectly planned, the accommodations were excellent, and every detail was handled seamlessly.
But what truly made the trip unforgettable was our guide, Izzy. His knowledge of the wildlife, landscapes, and local culture was remarkable. He has an eagle eye for spotting animals—sometimes we wondered how many eyes he has! Beyond that, his patience, sense of humor, and genuine passion for nature made every game drive feel special.
Izzy has a great team with him. Bara, Dix and KB compliment Izzy’s knowledge with excellent, timely food and neat campsite management. We really felt at home in our tents.
Our 12-day safari ended with no stone unturned, no animal unseen and every wildlife accomplished. We will definitely be back to Botswana with Izzy in near future.

Fantastic communication, care and dedication towards providing the best experience possible.
Porcupine Expeditions provided phenomenal experience for my safari in the Seregheti. Mama Ana and her daughter were available whenever I needed anything, and provided all sorts of restaurant and tour recommendations while in Arusha. The safari itself was amazing, with guide Anwar putting us in the best position possible everyday. The wildlife encounters were amazing (including seeing the big 5). Overall, I suggest that everyone should book with Porcupine for all their Safari needs.

A Magical Safari Across Kenya's Iconic Parks
Had the most amazing safari in Kenya.
Visited Amboseli, Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha & Lake Nakuru, every spot was magical!
Managed and very lucky to spot the BIG5, and FAMOUS7
A huge part of what made this trip so special was my tour guide, Tonny. His knowledge, passion, and sharp eyes made sure I didn't miss a single moment. He was not only an excellent guide but also a wonderful travel companion, patient, friendly, and full of fascinating stories about both wildlife and local culture.
This safari was a once-in-a-lifetime experience that exceeded all expectations. I would highly recommend it to anyone who loves nature, wildlife, and adventure.
Kenya truly stole my heart, and I know I'll be back someday.

Absolutely Fabulous
Great Escape Trails are amazing. Right from when we first contacted Thom to find out about their Serengeti safari he was fantastic.
Thom was always quick to reply to any queries we had and when we decided to book with them the process was easy and straight forward.
Once on safari Thom was also great as our driver/guide. His ability to find the animals was amazing and his knowledge of them excellent.
We were lucky enough to see all of the Big 5, even if the rhino's were via binoculars.
Thom knowledge of what we saw was great, no question he could not answer.
Accommodation throughout the tour was great, Rooms clean and comfortable and all with our own bathroom.
Food was great and really enjoyed out packed lunches each day.
It was great just being on safari wiht just our small group of 4 which allowed everyone to have a window seat each day.
Tour was great value for money and would highly recommend Great Escape Trails if you are looking at going to the Serengeti
