Amazing 6 days in Maasai Mara, Amboseli and Nairobi
My son and I had an unforgettable journey through Kenya—an experience filled with moments and memories we will treasure for a lifetime. Our travel advisor, Wanja, played a pivotal role in making it all possible. She thoughtfully guided us through a range of options, helping us design an itinerary that perfectly matched our vision of a safari and cultural adventure. Her patience and flexibility in accommodating our changes, along with her detailed emails and calls, ensured that we were well prepared before setting out.
On our first morning in Nairobi, Wanja and her team personally met us at our hotel before driving us to Wilson Airport for our flight to the Karen Blixen Camp in the Maasai Mara. Our stay there was nothing short of magical. From the delicious breakfasts and dinners to the attentive service, every detail was carefully considered. The game drives—both morning and evening—were spectacular, giving us the chance to witness wildlife in its natural habitat. Our tent, perched on the banks of the Mara River, offered a unique soundtrack of rushing waters mingled with the grunts of hippos—an unexpectedly calming backdrop to our stay. A highlight was the balloon safari, which provided a breathtaking new perspective of the Maasai Mara that I would recommend to anyone.
From there, we traveled to Amboseli, where we stayed at the beautiful Tawi Lodge. Nestled amid a strikingly arid landscape, our hut was both rustic and luxurious, with views of Mount Kilimanjaro that felt almost surreal. The cuisine and service were world-class—on par with a Michelin-starred restaurant.
Our journey concluded back in Nairobi, where we visited Nairobi National Park and were fortunate enough to see rhinos up close. We also enjoyed a memorable meal at the famed Carnivore restaurant, a true culinary adventure, followed by a visit to the Nairobi National Museum. Learning about Kenya’s colonial past and its path to independence added a deeply enriching layer to our trip.
Looking back, every stop offered something special—whether awe, beauty, or insight—and together they created an extraordinary adventure we will always carry with us. We are deeply grateful to Wanja and her team at Extra Miles Unique Adventures for curating such a seamless, enriching, and joyful experience.

Incredible trip with ETA
We booked the safari trip around six months ago, Derrick reacts quickly all the time, and we feel relax during our safari, ETA arranged pur trip very nice, we are satisfied with their service.
Our driver and guide named Benson who's a young and shy guy, but it doesn't effect his hard work at all. The first day Masai Mara, he drove so fast because he wanted us to see the exclusive leopard, luckily, we saw the leopard on the tree with his pray, at the same day, we saw the cheetah.
The second day on Mara was incredible, Benson drove us to catch the wonderful moment that the cheetah was hunting!! Also another leopard on the tree!
We also went to Nakuru, Naivasha, and Amboseli. Luckily, we see the lions, big cheetahs.
We also have three days trip in Mombasa for relax, so far, the service is great and we trust ETA. I highly recommend ETA, Derrick, and Benson if you guys have any plans to Kenya for safari.

Among too many tour companies for Kilimanjaro climbing, I was very lucky to choose Kisambi Tours and to meet the main guide Matty, the assistant guide Joseph, the cook, and the porters!
Compared to other major companies , Kisambi’s price was so low that honestly I worried if they really came to pick me up at the Airport. However, the e-mails before the departure was very smooth, their advice was so exact and credible, I decided to trust them.
Unlike many other big groups, they didn't offer a fancy "tea party" with a tablecloth on a terrace along the way, nor any unnecessarily luxurious meals or champagne. But they had sophisticated strategy and strong supportive power for reaching Uhuru Peak. In details, the timing of meals, the weather strategy, the pacing according to the clients' abilities and so on. They were so professional in every aspect.
If you want to experience Kilimanjaro purely as a mountaineering, I highly recommend climbing with Matty. He even offers winter Kilimanjaro climbs and a variation hiking route camping in crater and climbing directly to tje Uhuru peak.
There are true mountain enthusiasts in Tanzania!
Thank you so much!
Of the many companies available, I chose Kisambi Tours, and I was truly fortunate to have met main guide Matty, subguide Joseph, the cook, and the porters!
Compared to other companies, the price was so low that I was honestly a little worried. However, the pre-departure communication was so smooth and the advice so accurate that I decided to trust them.
Unlike many other companies, there was no tea ceremony with tablecloths on the terrace along the way, or any unnecessarily extravagant food or champagne, but
they were professional in every way, from their sophisticated strategy for reaching Uhuru Peak to the food, weather, and pacing the climbers according to their ability.
If you want to experience Kilimanjaro purely as a mountain, I recommend climbing with Matty. He said he can accommodate climbing Kilimanjaro in the dead of winter, or a short variation route to the summit with an overnight stay at Okama!
It turns out there are mountaineers in Tanzania too!! Thank you very much.

Local expertise in Kenya second to none !
If you are planning a trip to Kenya then look no further than Bernard and the team at Natural Scenes Africa. We recently had a week in Kenya, with 5 days and 4 nights on the Masai Mara which was expertly planned by Bernard and tailored to our budget, bucket list of experiences and with great suggestions from him.
Our accommodation was faultless, all transfers seamless and all our guides fabulous, especially Moses our guru for Masai Mara.
We went there from Australia, and when you are travelling that far, paying a lot of money for air fares you want value for money as well as expectations met. We had that and more, seeing The Big Five up close and personal as well as spending time in a Masai village. The Balloons Aloft experience was amazing; not cheap but wow !

Thank you Wivi Agency
We had an unforgettable 8-day safari with Wivi Agency, covering four national parks and a wide variety of landscapes, wildlife, and experiences. From the start, the entire trip was seamlessly organized and thoughtfully curated.
The itinerary was well-paced and balanced, giving us the chance to enjoy each park without feeling rushed. The accommodations ranged from mid-range to luxury, and every lodge or tented camp was carefully chosen — comfortable, clean, and always in great locations.
Our guide, Adam, was knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely passionate about wildlife. Thanks to his experience, we managed to see everything we hoped for — including the dramatic Mara River crossing, which was a highlight of the trip.
The vehicle was in excellent condition, spacious, clean, and reliable throughout our journey — which makes a big difference on long drives through the parks.

The Ultimate 27-Day East African Adventure / Safari with Mukisa Safaris
Our 27-day safari/adventure through Rwanda, Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania & Zanzibar with Mukisa Safaris Uganda was nothing short of extraordinary. Richard designed a fully customized itinerary that covered every detail with care and precision. His communication was prompt, clear, and supportive throughout the processs, and the journey he created for us was nothing short of life-changing.
Every aspect of the tour was thoughtfully planned yet allowed room for spontaneity. The accommodations were luxurious and unique, with outstanding food and service. Our guide Veronica was warm, knowledgeable, and accommodating, while Solomon, our driver, navigated challenging terrain with calm professionalism and genuine kindness.
We always felt safe, cared for, and inspired throughout the journey. The people we met were incredibly welcoming and hardworking, adding even more richness to our experience. Mukisa Safaris far exceeded all expectations, and we would absolutely plan another adventure with them. Thank you for giving us memories to last a lifetime.

African Adventure
Brett Thompson of Sun Safaris put together a 14 day itinerary of Cape Town, Sabi Sands, Kruger National Park, Victoria Falls, Chobe National Park and Johannesburg that included accommodation, transfers, tours, safaris and flights. The experience we had was amazing, the organisation was flawless, changes to times handled with a smile and a " we are here to help" attitude. The transfer and tour operators we had in Cape Town, Kruger, Victoria Falls and Johannesburg were all engaging, knowledgable and a pleasure to deal with. While the three safaris at Sabi Sands, Kruger and Chobe were all diferent they gave us amazing wildlife experiences with a wide variety of animals. As for value for money, incredible, we got so much for our money. Thank you for a Bucket List Adventure, we have some truly fantastic memories that are priceless.
