The tour was perfectly organized and the service was excellent.
We booked the 4-day safari tour with the panoramic tour. The tour was very well organized; we received daily updates from the tour operator about the next day's schedule. The service was truly excellent.
Our drivers were very friendly and provided us with a lot of information. Especially Muzi, the driver we spent two days with, was very friendly and told us a lot of about the animals. With him, we saw the Big Five on the first day and four of the Big Five on the second day. He always drove us to the best possible positions for photos and gave us plenty of time to take pictures. It was a lot of fun traveling with him.
I can highly recommend the tour and the Tour operator
Best safari we took while in Kenya
We took a private safari with Green places adventures to Samburu. We had some specific things we wanted to do and we liaised directly with the owner Elijah. We purposely didn’t go through a third party for any of our trip. Elijah was very accommodating of our requests in addition to the actual safari including a trip to Retetei Elephant Orphanage the highlight of our trip. He gave us a range of accommodation options and we chose the cheapest lodge accommodation which was absolutely gorgeous retreat after being out on safari. Elijah met us at our hotel in Nairobi to introduce us to our guide Evan. Even was a gentle natures and very experienced guide whose knowledge of the area and the wildlife was extensive. He was also knowledgeable about the culture and politics when we asked about the region. Evan was a calm and confident guide that was very committed to ensuring we saw a diversity of animals. Unbeknown to us he’d heard that there was a pride of lions. Evan knew to anticipate their movements and rive ahead and waited for the lions to come to us which allowed us a very intimate experience with just one other car. Following this we saw an elephant bull and again he drove ahead cut the engine and as we were the only vehicle we were able to watch as the elephant grazed and walked past our vehicle. As it was observing us out of the corner of its eye a rabbit jumped out of the bush is was eating and startled the elephant who gave it a swipe with its trunk almost in annoyance. It was the sweetest thing. I had my 13 year son with me and he really looked up to Evan and even bought a beaded Swahili belt and to look like him.

Brilliant to deal with.
After extensive research, we reached out to Frank at Golden Safaris and from the first contact we could not have been more satisfied. Frank helped us with our itinerary and made some great suggestions. As promised on arrival we were met by "Mr T" Taufique who was extremely pleasant and easy to travel with. Mr T was always on time and accommodated our daily request's and even replanned a whole day when we changed our mind, planning a wonderful village tour and boat cruise around Twin Lakes. Then went above and beyond by pick us up at our Hotel and providing us a ride to the airport on our last morning in Kigali. A big thanks to Golden Safaris, Frank and particularly Taufique who made our trip wonderful.

Very responsive and allowed us to customise our experience
Leticia was very responsive and helped us to customise our experience, which we really valued. Deo, our tour guide, was the best, really knowledgeable, fun and knew the best places to take us to see the wildlife. We were really impressed with the accommodation and would highly recommend Escarpment luxury lodge, they made our honeymoon feel extra special.

Amazing safari with an experienced bird and other wildlife guide
Jackson is incredible!!!!! Not only does he know all of the other tour guides (which came in so handy) he kept us so safe and informed during the post- election danger in Arusha. He is well studied in all things anthropology, wildlife, and most importantly to us- birds!! He helped us identify 60 unique species on a 5 day trip. I will recommend him until my face turns blew, so happy with his kindness, caring, security, and dependability. A true professional. If you are worried about the current political unrest, do not be. It does not affect tourist and Jackson will keep you so so safe the whole time. His pricing was the best too- really amazing value for his skills. Can’t wait to go again some day and recommend him to all of my friends
