Another Excellent Safari with KETS!
This was the 3rd time that we used KETS for a safari in Kenya and Tanzania. KETS has some of the best driver/guides in the business. Our drivers were very skilled at getting us up close to the wildlife and they jockeyed us around to position us to take the best photos ever. We were so pleased with all of our drivers. They also were knowledgable about the animals and their behavior and eagerly shared the information with us.
We let Paul plan our safari and we were very happy with the accommodations that he chose. We just let him know how long we would be there and he did the rest. It was really comforting to have a trusted driver waiting to pick us up late at night at the airport in Nairobi. On our last day, Paul easily and efficiently adjusted our schedule so that we didn't have to wait for hours in the airport.
A trip to Kenya wouldn't be complete without seeing the Big 5, and KETS did not disappoint us, as we had multiple sightings of these magnificent animals. In fact, we had the best sighting of a leopard that we have ever had.

Exceptional in every way!
I would recommend Elephant Herd to anyone and everyone (especially Bev for amazing communication, patience and planning and Bhekifa - the very best guide - kind, knowledgeable, genuine). This was an amazing trip from start to finish. Grateful for the trip of a lifetime.

Exceptional Safari Experience in Queen Elizabeth National Park
Our safari in Uganda was absolutely unforgettable! The tour operator went out of their way to design a trip tailored exactly to our interests, and we were blown away by the variety and quality of experiences included.
Based in Queen Elizabeth National Park, we enjoyed the best of both worlds: classic game drives and lodge experiences alongside unique, immersive activities that gave us a true sense of Ugandan life and culture. Highlights included:
• A day in the village, visiting a coffee farm where we roasted beans and brewed our own coffee.
• Experiencing bee harvesting and learning about salt mining.
• Staying at an Ankole cow farm — a special glimpse into local traditions.
• Visiting the CTC Conservation Center, where we had the once-in-a-lifetime chance to interact with animals up close, especially the lion cubs.
What impressed us most was how much was included for the value. The balance of wildlife, cultural activities, and personal attention far exceeded our expectations, and every day felt rich with discovery and adventure.
If you’re considering a safari in Uganda, I cannot recommend this tour operator enough. They provide not just a safari, but an immersive journey through the wildlife, culture, and heart of Queen Elizabeth National Park.

Very nice wild life and very African country
Tanzania is a truly beautiful country with breathtaking nature and wildlife. The safaris and landscapes can exceed all expectations – sometimes things turn out even better than you imagined. At the same time, traveling here means embracing a very authentic African experience.
It’s important to be prepared for some challenges along the way. Roads can be rough, and getting a flat tire every now and then is quite normal. Public toilets outside the national parks are often just simple holes in the ground – there’s never toilet paper, so bring your own. Even inside the parks, where “Western-style” toilets are provided, many are poorly maintained.
Another thing to keep in mind is pricing. As a tourist, you will often be asked to pay much more than the local rate. Whether you decide to negotiate or just accept the difference depends on your own comfort level. Ordering food can also be a lesson in patience: a simple lunch might easily take an hour before it arrives, but that’s just part of the local rhythm.
If you prefer to stay fully in the “tourist bubble,” you’ll be more shielded from these aspects. But if you step outside it, you’ll experience both the challenges and the charm of everyday life in Tanzania. Either way, the incredible wildlife and landscapes more than make up for the occasional inconvenience.

Amazing wildlife and lovely people
We only did a safari in Masai Mara but it was fantastic. Saw the big five. Saw the migration crossing which is why we went in August. The people are lovely and friendly.and the camp we stayed in is highly recommended. (Asnil safari camp.)

a truly special place on earth!
Tanzania is a surprise for me, I was blown away how ecosystem interacting right before my eyes, in the flesh! It’s very grounding to see tribes and villages during our trip. People in Tanzania are very warm and welcoming. It is beautiful to see different landscapes, and weather was perfect the time we went. Overall Tanzania is breathtaking!

It was beautiful in many places but we did expect more birds and there were not many
