Totally Unbelievable Safari Adventure!
We have just returned from a 6-day safari with Jossec Safaris (Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, and Amboseli) and it was totally the trip of a lifetime!
Claire was brilliant from the start in helping us to plan everything. She was responsive, patient, and listened carefully to what we wanted. Every last detail was planned out carefully and was perfectly timed.
Our guide, Peter, was superb – polite, well-educated, and excellent at recognizing wildlife. Thanks to him, we saw the Big Five at Maasai Mara, flamboyance and rhinos at Lake Nakuru, enjoyed a peaceful boat ride at Naivasha, and viewed the elephants against the backdrop of Mount Kilimanjaro at Amboseli. He made the whole journey so much more rewarding with his insight and commentary.
The lodges were wonderful and well-placed, and the entire trip was easy, safe, and filled with memories that I will always cherish. Jossec Safaris exceeded our expectations at every level. If you are in the market for a tailored, professional Kenyan safari, you need not look further!
Highly recommend – thanks Claire and Peter for making this so special!

Kiliclimb takes excellent care of you and helps you create memorable experiences
We booked a 5 day safari with Kiliclimb which included Tarangire NP, Serengeti NP, and the Ngorongoro crater.
From the start the communication with the people at Kiliclimb was so easy. They responded to our questions very quickly and nothing was a problem. When we arrived at Kilimanjaro airport, manager Janeth was there to pick us up and she had brought a bottle of sparkling wine with her to welcome us to Tanzania. It was such a nice gesture, we felt very welcome. The day before the safari we spontaneously decided that we wanted to go the Chemka Hot Springs near Arusha. It was already a bit late in the day but within an hour Moses had arranged a driver + guide for us. Again, nothing was a problem.
During our 5 day safari we were very lucky that we had driver Julius with us. Not only was he a safe and very good driver, he was also very experienced. He knew the national parks like the back of his hands and really went the extra mile to create a memorable experience for us. This resulted into seeing the Big 5 and also the Great Migration of the wildebeests crossing the Mara river. Unforgettable. Julius also knew very much about the Tanzanian wildlife, we really learned a lot from him.
We booked the 'mid-range' package in terms of luxury and the accommodations certainly lived up to that, if not exceeded them. We thought all the accommodations were nice, comfortable and clean. Also, all the meals were good. My partner is vegan but that was not a problem and they made sure there was enough to eat for her as well. During the safari, Janeth occassionally contacted us to make sure we were happy and if there was anything we needed.
Everyone we met at Kiliclimb made their best effort to create an amazing experience for us and they really succeeded. We felt very much taken care of and we would highly recommend this local Tanzanian company.

Grace was polite, details-oriented, and eager to please; composed our safari with our preferences
All budget group consolidated safaris are catered by agents such as Inspired Feet, so on a day with a group we were often put together for up to 3 days with people from various agencies. I did like most of the accommodations Grace booked for us, and the Tanzania driver was excellent. We went through at least 4 different drivers and different groups of travelers for the Kenya part.
We patched together a 12 day combination of Kenya and Tanzania.
And we had lots of extra requests that were not common with other groups, so we had the Hells Gate bike tour all to ourselves and our government guide. Do watch out for park rangers asking outright for bribes and charges that are actually pre-paid. Hold your ground. Grace advocated for us on such matters in two instances. She has a professional disdain for corruption and was helpful.
Grace had a lot of interesting Nairobi choices for us, prior to going off on safari. We really liked her a lot and tipped her at the end for all of her care and personalized efforts.
