Well curated tour.
We had an unforgettable 8 day tour including Ol Pejta, Lake Nakuru, Maasai Mara, Hell's Gate NP and Amboselii with Francis. We were pleasantly suprised with the amount of wildlife in early January. Francis is well respected amongst other game drivers which helps during the drives.
Francis was very knowledgeable and experienced. He also gave us a great insight into Kenyan life and politics. The accomadation felt luxury despite booking a mid range. Staff were very responsive in the booking phase especially from Australia. I would not be phased by the lower volume of reviews for this independent local company.
We would most definately recommend Francis and his team at Cherish Africa to our peers.

At your service
We booked rather late for the period between Christmas and the New Year. Despite this, our travel agent Loice managed to quickly react on changes and availabilities and adjust the program in line with our wishes.
The choice of accommodations was nice and the different journeys went smoothly, including the journeys by train. Our guide and driver for the first part of the trip (safari Amboseli, Taitu Hills and Tsavo East) Kashu, is a very good driver and guide, we appreciated his careful driving and his respect for and knowledge of the animals. We concluded the trip at Diani beach. Loice had even ensured late check out as our train back to Nairobi was only in the afternoon.
I think we packed our programme too much, though. But we saw a lot. And Loice was always available via WhatsApp throughout the trip for any clarifications or requests.

Best Safari Experience – Highly Recommended!
Thank you so much for arranging such a great car for our 6-day trip to Masai Mara, Nakuru & Amboseli. The car was very clean and comfortable.
A special thanks to John — he was absolutely amazing! Very kind, helpful, knowledgeable, and guided us beautifully during the safari. He took great care of my mother and was so playful and loving with my kids. They really loved him ❤️
John truly made our holiday memorable. Thank you once again, and hope to meet you again soon! 🙏✨

Extraordinary
Fransisca followed us every step of the way, answering every question quicky. Everything was perfectly organized. It was our first safari and it went very well. The guide was excellent and the accomodation was great too.

Our tour operator was kind, smart, very knowledgeable and cared about us.
We went to Tanagire, the Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater. We stayed in tents for two nights. We saw almost every animal (no cheetah!) and our guide stopped long enough for us to really watch the animals and take photos and videos. The trip was fantastic in every way.

He is very kind, thoughtful, knowledgeable, easy going, skilful, funny and really comf to be around
We are two sisters who were going on a Safaritour with Solomon. He was very communicative and told us everything there was to know about the animals and fauna. He also gave us all the time we needed; he stopped whenever there was something to see so we could take our photos. We never felt pressured or rushed. He just let us do our thing. He is therefore very easy to be around. He always checked with us if we were alright or if we needed anything. The level of thoughtfulness is really appreciated. We want to thank him for making this tour so memorable and for all the (funny) conversations we had.
Now the overall review:
The communication about the itinerary was really good. We received the planning per mail and Solomon walked us through it everyday, so we knew exactly what we could expect for those days.
Every penny spent was well worth it. The accommodations were okay and well organised. Everything was taken care of and that was really appreciated.
The tour really exceeded all our expectations and we are really greatful for that. Thank you!

Truly exceptional
Fabulous!
12-day trip to Uganda, Rwanda, and Burundi
When preparing for the trip, communication was always quick and clarified all questions. Requests for adjustments to accommodate our interests were always welcomed and met with great suggestions for improvement.
The trip was very well organized and everything went according to plan. Once the itinerary was set, we entrusted Antique Safaris with the choice of accommodation and activities, and it was magnificent.
We had the privilege of having Geoffrey accompany us on this trip. In addition to being extremely polite and friendly, he is an excellent and cautious driver. He was always attentive and available for all our needs.
I recommend Antique Safari Adventures without hesitation!

Amazing experience
We’ve just finished an amazing safari experience with Tazama and our guide Freddie. From the moment he collected us, Freddie was patient, knowledgeable and super helpful throughout our experience with a toddler. We had an unforgettable safari and really enjoyed staying at the Sarova Mara camp that Tazama recommended. Definitely go with Tazama for your next safari!

Great experience thanks to our amazing driver Johny
It exceeded all our expectations. Our driver and guide Johny Jackson was absolutely outstanding. He went off road to make sure we saw as many animals as possible and always adjusted the drive based on what we wanted to experience. His knowledge, humour and calm driving style made the whole safari feel relaxed, safe and fun at the same time.
Everyone was very welcoming, but Johny truly made the trip special. He shared so much interesting information and was always happy to answer questions. The vehicle was also very comfortable and well suited for the safari, even in the heat.
