Top tier
I started looking at various tour operators about a year ago but was constantly running into the issue of not being able to do everything I wanted with one operator. I had just about given up when I found Lush African Safaris. Abbey was able to organize a trip that had every destination and activity (some less common than others) I was looking for, without going outside of my budget. We went back and forth for a couple of weeks discussing locations and accommodations before we built the perfect adventure. Can’t thank Abbey enough for all of the time he spent on this.
Fast forward several months and I arrive in Kigali and meet Yves. He was kind, punctual and knowledgeable on every topic I could think of asking about. He was also able to fit a few activities that I wanted to do but weren’t discussed prior to my arrival to Rwanda. Once we got to the lodge Yves was also able to negotiate a larger room with a better view and a balcony without any extra charge. I can’t recommend Yves enough.
Next up, I fly to Nairobi and meet my Kenya guide, Jackson. He is a super cool dude who waited without complaint an extra few hours outside of the airport for me while the airline looked for the walking stick I used while gorilla trekking in Rwanda. The airline wasn’t able to find the walking stick (they did after we left- so we went back later on). Upon finding out that they lost my walking stick, Jackson gifted me his- very cool, I know. He was able to accommodate everything that I wanted to do (including a request he had never been asked before). Jackson loves animals so he wanted to see everything at least as much as I did which meant he was willing to stay in the park from opening to close and never tried to waste any time. At the lodges I would regularly speak to others that were on safari that had only seen 1/10th of what I had.
Last but certainly not least, I meet my Tanzania guide Lordlugard or Lordie for short. Lordie is basically a scientist working as a guide who could tell me the binomial nomenclature for just about everything we encountered. We talked a lot about animal behavior and it didn’t take long to see the value in this. We would do things like go to the opposite side as other safari vehicles of a rock outcrop and at first not be able to see anything but suddenly we’d have the best seat in the house as the lion or leopard moved right in front of us for a better view of its surroundings. Lordie was also happy to stay in the park from opening to close which was exactly what I wanted.
A safari is only as good as your guides and all 3 of mine exceeded all expectations and left me thankful for the adventure of a lifetime!

Excellent Safari Experience
We had an incredible safari in Kenya this August and couldn’t recommend the experience more highly. From start to finish, communication with Steve was excellent – he kept us well informed and even met us personally at both the beginning and end of the trip, which was a really thoughtful touch.
Our guide, Patrick, was absolutely outstanding. He was not only extremely knowledgeable about all the animals and the environment, but also went above and beyond to make sure our trip was unforgettable. Thanks to him, we were able to see the Big Five and so much more. His passion, expertise, and warm personality made the whole experience even more special.
The accommodation throughout was very good, with comfortable stays and delicious food. Everywhere we went, the staff were friendly and welcoming, which really added to the enjoyment of our trip.
Overall, this was a once-in-a-lifetime experience made truly exceptional by the team. Thank you Steve and Patrick for making our safari so memorable – we will treasure it forever.

Almost perfect!
Overall, the trip was quite satisfying. Jimmy is very knowledgeable, experienced, and great at communication—he knows when to engage and when to give us space. When we encountered rare and beautiful scenes, he made sure we had plenty of time to enjoy and take photos.
However, Jimmy was a bit careless at times. For example, we often agreed to meet at the lobby at 7:00, but I had to call him at 7:10 to remind him, rather than him waiting for us in advance. On the last day, due to miscommunication with the transfer driver about the timing, we had to wait for an hour and a half in 30-degree heat.
These issues weren’t deal-breakers, but they did affect the experience. If Jimmy can improve on these easily fixable details, I would still recommend him to my friends.

Maisa mara 3 day safari
We did a 3 day safari to masai mara with Mark and George and it was very nice. We see a lot of animals and the lodge at enchoro wildlife was very good. Definitely worth it!

A professional and well-run company.
We saw all the animals we wanted and stayed in safe, nice places. The price was affordable and the variety was plenty. Problems were minor. I would definitely choose this company again and recommend it to anyone. Our driver/guide, Stanley, was reliable and amazing in his ability to spot wildlife.

"Best Trip Ever!"
As a wildlife lover and photographer, this was the trip of a lifetime! made it all seamless—our Tall Masai Safari & Travel guide was incredibly knowledgeable and knew exactly where to position us to witness the Great Migration crossings. The thrill of seeing lions on the prowl and elephants parading through the plains of the Masai Mara left me speechless. Jambo Mara offered stunning sunrise views and hearty meals. Then came Lake Nakuru—calm, colorful, and filled with birdlife. We even spotted both black and white rhinos, which was a major highlight. Sarova Woodlands was elegant and relaxing. Tall Masai Safari & Travel's personal touch and attention to detail made our family safari unforgettable. Highly recommend them!

A holiday one will never forget
Despite being a large group, with a range of ages and personalities, Rob and his team did a fantastic job of showing us the magic of the Okavango Delta. Some of the highlights were following the lives of the beautiful animals so close up and seeing the stunning landscape and sunsets, sleeping in luxurious tents with the occasional noise of a wondering animal and experiencing a variety of delicious food and wine around warm fires. Rob showed such impressive organisational and leadership skills, as well as deep knowledge about the environment and the animals we saw, and did it all in such a patient and good humoured way. We will all be eternally grateful for what we learnt and the memories we will cherish.
