Banabas was very friendly, reliable and talkative
We did a 3 day / 2 nights trip to Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara. Tarangire and Ngorongoro were amazing. However, in comparison to the former two, Lake Manyara was less spectacular. Next time, we would rather opt for two days at Ngorongoro or a day at Serengeti instead. Otherwise, the accomodations were beautiful, food was good and the people were very friendly and accomodating. The trip was very well organized.

Fantastic!
My husband and I had a lovely and adventurous time at the Masai Mara. Our driver’s name was Charles and he really stood out with his driving skills and kindly heart😊 we saw all the big five expect from rhino (which is very rear at Masai Mara). We got the budget camp and it was totally worth the money.

Perfectly organised safari with a great guide
We had an amazing safari experience with African Big Cats Safaris. From the very beginning, the planning phase was super smooth thanks to Emanuel and Naomi. They were extremely responsive, always happy to adjust the itinerary, and worked with us until we were completely satisfied with the proposal. Their attention to detail and willingness to accommodate our requests made the whole preparation effortless.
During the safari, everything was perfectly organized. Our guide, Obedi, was outstanding: knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. He struck the perfect balance between sharing great details about the wildlife and giving us space to enjoy the experience at our own pace. He also drove very carefully throughout the trip. We noticed other drivers on the road being quite reckless, but with Obedi we always felt completely safe, which made a huge difference.
Thanks to him, we were able to spot an incredible variety of animals, often from very close by, and truly appreciate the beauty of each park, from Tarangire to Serengeti (central and northern), Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara. We even had the privilege to observe the Great Migration and an impressive river crossing. The lodges we stayed in were excellent, and the whole journey ran seamlessly from start to finish.
Overall, this was a fantastic safari, and we would wholeheartedly recommend African Big Cats Safaris to anyone planning a trip to Tanzania.

Great Experience with Silver Spark!
Our eight days safaris in Kenya with Silver Spark Africa, was one of our best adventures compared to South Africa, Kruger National Park. We really enjoyed our 8 days safari. The communication with our guide during safaris and Abongo was smooth from the beginning. We opted for the jeep, option, which was in a good condition, our accommodations were as per the itinerary, all clean and have best food service. Our tour guide, John, was amazing, he was really prepared and ready for our safaris.
Every park and game drive was amazing we saw Big 5 many times over. The best thing was also the culture visit in Maasai Mara Park and the Maasai market village back in Nairobi on our day one of arrival. The culture and life style were knowledgeable and showed us things which otherwise we would have easily missed. Kevin, was most welcoming on the city excursion and helped us with anything and everything we needed around the city. I do recommend Silver Spark Africa for their exemplary service offered during our stay with them.
Very attentive and lots of knowledge about the Safari and animals
This trip I booked completely blind not knowing who the people or place was and it turned out incredibly amazing just like I had dreamed the location to be and the places to stay we had monkeys arrive while having breakfast and I had also arranged to propose to my girlfriend at the time and they had arranged everything for me while we was out and the safari was so amazing they had answerd every question I asked and managed to find every animal they had.

It was very amazing i had such a great time
This place wasn’t what i was expecting to be having animals running around while eating and sitting around a fire on the evening with food was something special

Seamless and responsive safari operator & experience
What an incredible trip to Botswana. We have memories that we will cherish for years to come. So appreciate Martin's prompt replies and availability. He was incredibly responsive and detailed in his replies to our many questions while also providing honest context on animals/terrain, travel prep, etc throughout the few months between booking and our travel dates. I had been in contact with a few tour companies before booking with Martin, but he was the most detailed, personable, and responsive in all of our email communications that it was the right choice.
We stuck with a more classic 7 day safari itinerary given our time was limited, but it felt like a truly immersive trip regardless and we felt at ease the entire time. The mix of accommodations were fantastic as well! We enjoyed the variety of activities - mokoro, game drives, night drives, and walking safaris. It was seamless having everything taken care of by Martin and the local operator so we could just focus on the experience. Sad to be back from our trip, but we look forward to visiting Africa again soon.
