Excellent service
The courtesy,attention to details and the knowledge level of the guide was incomparable to any of the other safaris companies i have used when touring kenia, everything was well organised in detail and the tour started right on time with no delays, the hotels that they choose were excellent in service and the food was well prepared, thank you Tamasha Afrika for time well spent.

Tale of 2 countries. Stick to Kenya.
Our trip was a 13 day trip split between Kenya and Tanzania.
The first half spent in Kenya was amazing. Everything we could have asked for as the guides were friendly and knowledgeable and the accommodations were pleasant. The game drives were incredible as well, especially at the base of Mt. Kilimanjaro. After the first week, this trip was absolutely 5 stars.
However, the second half of the trip in Tanzania was a completely different story. The guides were unhelpful at best, there was constant mix ups, mismanagement, and miscommunications. And though they were advertised with similar descriptors, the accommodations were atrocious. Too much time was spent at the lesser parks that could have been used elsewhere.
As well, too much time was spent driving and it seems like a better planned schedule could have helped make it more enjoyable. Ngorongoro Crater is without a doubt a terrific destination, but only spending 24 hours there is not worth the rest of the week. Tanzania only gets 1 star.
The saving grace is that David and the Absolute Holiday Safaris Ltd team was willing to respond to complaints and the office in Kenya did their best to alleviate the Tanzanian mess.

A great company that helped me plan a great holiday!
Flight Safaris surpassed my expectations. I am from the States and was very unfamiliar with Kenya and didn't know where to start in planning my vacation. I contacted Flight Safaris early and I'm so lucky that I did. They listened carefully to my wishes for what I would like to do, and they made excellent suggestions on where I should go and how I should get it done. Throughout the planning process they made further suggestions to help me fine tune the safari and each of those suggestions turned out to be highly valuable and made my holiday significantly better. My driver/guide was phenomenal. He was knowledgeable, dependable, always on time, very kind, and made for a great companion while we traveled together. It was amazing how much he knew about Kenya, the wildlife, and he was VERY good at spotting animals while on safari. I would not have seen most of the cool things we saw without his good eye.
Thanks to Flight Safaris for a wonderful holiday! I will certainly be calling if I find myself planning another trip to Kenya!
Travelling to Africa in Style
We had a fantastic time during our travels in Kenya, highlighted by the visit to the Maasai Mara, which was well organised by Seven Wonders Safaris. We were picked up on time from our residential address. The driver was a well informed tour guide himself and knew where to spot to show us the sites, ensuring we did not miss anything. The choice of accommodation in the Maasai Mara was unique and memorable because I felt as if I was in a 5* hotel in the midst of the Mara. There was entertainment every night followed by a camp fire. We were also very fortunate to see the Big 5 in one day. All in all we were very impressed with the good organization of the holiday, the scheduling of all events and not least the personalized treatment we received from all involved.

Jambo... from Africa
Jambo from Africa.... After a luxurious transfer (1 driver and 1 guide!!!!!) we arrived satiesfied on Zanzibar. The Blue Oyster is a little paradise, and we really felt well here. The clocks go quite slow, but we already noticed that during our 10 days of safari.
We had an amazing safari with a wonderful guide, which guided us through 1600 km of phenomenal landscape and animals kingdom. We saw all the Big 5 even though the last missing one was spotted from quite far away at Ngorongoro Crater... the Rhino - but it was there! The accommodations were wonderful in all their difference, best of them the Kati Kati and the Tingitana Tented Camp in "splendid isolation" - only the two of us allone in the second night. On our first morning, the giraffes welcomed us in near distance, on the second morning the zebras. Really impressing!
Even though the routes weren't comfortable all the time, the higher north of Serengeti with its complete different landscapes really impressed us. We even were lucky enough to experience two crossings over the Mara River, and the guide told us that you'lll never know where and when the crossings will take place.

Absolutely amazing
We now back home and we would like to say that our trip with you was absolutely amazing! It was a great experience to visit Kenya and Maasai mara, to meet its nice and open people and to enjoy the great landscape, wildlife and scenery. It was the best holiday we ever had and we will never forget it.
All of you at Swift Travel contributed to make us relax, sit back and simply enjoy. You made our safari trip very special.
Out of Africa.- vielen Dank, das war großartig, wie du alles für uns arrangiert hast! Asante Sana
Unfortunately back from Kenya!
I'm (unfortunately) back from Kenya. It was wonderful, and all our expectations were even exceeded!
We fell very well at Severin Sea Lodge! Yes, and we're still speechless when thinking about Severin Safari Camp!
The surcharge for the Junior Suite was really worth it! We had Suite No. 41 and woke up in the morning with direct view to the waterhole with drinking zebras, giraffes etc.!
Thank you for this recommendation Severin Travel! Kenya - we will come back!
professional team, personalised safari experience, perfection!
Suzanne and Luke provided us with prompt, professional service. Safari with a 1 year old is daunting but they made us completely comfortable that everything was under control. All the recommendations they made were perfect and suited our needs.

First-Class service!
Vayeni are without doubt the best travel agent/ operator I have dealt with even compared to services in Europe. I had to change my booking at least 4 times and they were great in dealing with all the issues. They had staff at the holiday destination that sorted out everything for our party and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone booking travel within Southern Africa
