Personalized safari for our anniversary
This was a great safari. Due to some knee problems, we had to swap out climbing Kilimanjaro, but Anne added in Arusha park, Enduimet, and Mkomazi parks. We really loved to visit these less visited parks. It felt like we had them all to ourselves. We also visited the big parks too. 45 lion, 6 cheetah, and 2 leopards, plus all the other wildlife. Over 100 birds identified too. Anne and Abu treated us so well. The lodges and camps were so nice. The food great too. Hot air balloon over the Serengeti and the river crossing of the great migration. Wow! Somehow we were always in the right place at the right time to see the coolest stuff. We really appreciate how Anne and Abu went above and beyond for us. We feel like we got way more out of this trip than we paid for. If you have the opportunity to visit Tanzania, you won’t go wrong with Longway Expeditions. We will be back for spring calving season and hopefully an opportunity to summit Kilimanjaro.

Professional, responsive
Booked a 4 day fly on safari staying at Hoyo Hoyo lodge after recommendations from Wayne. All went smoothly. Lodge was amazing with water hole and a variety of animals incl. herds of elephants, giraffe, zebra etc. right across from the lodge. Quality of food was very good. We missed the first game drive due to arriving too late (in winter need to be at the lodge no later than 3pm). Saw the big 5 though, racing to get to see the rare white rhinos. 1st morning we had the vehicle to ourselves, other 4 drives we shared with one other couple (vehicle holds 9 people). Only saw 2 or 3 other vehicles in the park so not overrun with tourists. Limited sightings of lions (we saw 3 cubs, 2 brothers and a mating pair). Highlight was seeing a female leopard in the tree. Wayne provided a personal experience and in communication via WhatsApp and was very responsive with any flight and transfer queries I had. Would happily book another safari with the Kruger travel co.

Jambo! Overall it’s a good experience!
We were very well taken care of. Credit goes to our tour guide, Songe, who was reliable, easy to negotiate with, and able to fulfill most of our requests.
The game drives were fun. It would be good if binoculars could be provided for future drives.
The accommodation was generally good. However, I would suggest reconsidering the accommodation option at Lake Naivasha, as it was below our expectations in terms of food and cleanliness.

I Strongly advice you Avoid Fabrics of Adventure Safaris if you are looking for a honest agency
After spending a significant amount on a luxury safari tour, our experience was marred by:
- Misleading information and unachievable misleading itineraries. We wasted 2 days of itnerey 5 nights 6 day luxury tour.
- Meals served at roadside instead of promised hotels. Timings spelled in the itinerary are completely misleading.
- Though the agency Fabrics Adventure promises to have guests with the same itineraries, they load people who have very different itineraries. Hence you will be deprived of what you have paid for and Driver makes decisions based on the mix of guests. WASTE OF MONEY
- Grueling 12-hour drives with minimal time spent in parks - completely off from itinerary and missing quality safari time you have paid for.
- The tracker cum Driver, PAUL, seemed lost and inexperienced. on top of that he is trying to dictate terms with guests.He is a very poor tracker and failed to spot animals and even disrupted rare hunts.
- The Fabrics Adventure direct contact is great until you confirm your tour. Once you are in Nairobi he will just show a jeep to get in and from there he is unable to help you and Driver runs the show.
- Fabrics Adventure gives you a 3P vehicle owned by a different company and has no control at all on changes the Jeep agency does.
If you want a peaceful and memorable safari experience in Kenya, look elsewhere. Fabrics of Adventure excels only in creating false itineraries, giving 3P to manage guests where the driver takes decisions even if you are completely out of your itinerary given by the agency.
overall strongly recommended to avoid this agency if you want a peaceful and great safari in kenya. which i am sure we all look forward to.
myself and my wife who was planning this trip for some time and looking forward for great time, left Kenya with sour feelings.

This company is reliable, experienced, patient, so we feel very safe and comfortable.
The schedule is reasonably arranged, and we have seen many animals we wanted to see, so we are very happy.

Trip of a Lifetime!!!
Norah, William, and Malizawa made our trip of a lifetime a huge success. Exceeded our expectations and made all our dreams come true. Attention to every detail and amazing work ethic is what you can expect. We saw the Big 5 and more. Thank you Gosheni!

Beyond the excellent safari was the experience of being catered so attentively
We just spent nine days having our minds blown every day. After the first day at Tarangire our camera already had 600 animal photos. The trip would have been great and we could have just called it a success.
But then….. after the first night in our tented camp we woke up to rustling and opened our tent flap to see a family of twelve elephants had come to see us, literally waving their trunks in greeting.
That type of experience happened EVERY SINGLE day. I cannot say enough praise about Passionate Guides and how Beatus was able to plan this whole experience for our family. In addition to an incredible set of safari days we also took time in Arusha to experience a bit of local culture including getting the best fade haircut a white man might ever experience by going to Beatus's own barber). We also did a 10 mile hike at Kilimanjaro.
Passionate Guides, under his leadership, goes to sleep after you have crashed, wakes up before you to prep supplies for the day, and then spends all day listening to your desires and making sure they get realized. We kept giving new challenges, "that was great but now we would like to see...." and then somehow within 24 hours Beatus kept working it in. We saw more than 120 different species of animals during our trip -and- a wildebeest river crossing to cap it all off.
We simply have never been treated more kindly and attentively than our time with Passionate Guides. Thank you Beatus.

Very-organised and knowledgeable.
My wife and I did a fantastic 4 full day Safari Tour with African Big Cats Safari for our honeymoon through Tarangire National Park, the Ngorongoro Crater and The Serengeti. Our guide Venance was great, showing us all the animals and offering great insight and knowledge about each animal and Tanzania. Emanuel and Naomi were also great in organising the tour and accommodation including accounting for my wife's food allergies. Each Safari Lodge selected was super comfortable. I'd 100% recommend African Big Cats Safaris to any traveller considering a Safari in Tanzania and I have already recommended the company to a number of friends who are interested in this trip.
