bamboo ecotours exceeding our expectations
My trip with Bamboo Ecotours was outstanding. The accommodations were awesome, complemented by great food and amazing service.
Our guide, Fred, was excellent—knowledgeable and a genuinely pleasant person to travel with. The safari vehicle was very comfortable, which was a huge bonus on the road.
The wildlife experiences were the highlight: the gorilla and chimpanzee treks were truly amazing. We had spectacular sightings of a diverse range of animals, including gorillas, chimpanzees, elephants, hippos, crocodiles, buffalo, waterbucks, kobs, lions, and leopards.
I would definitely use Bamboo Ecotours again. They clearly deliver.

Very corporative, and he did a very good job. I recommend him for another task to carry senior officials

Pleasant, Skillful, and safe driver
1. Guide: Joseph is pleasant guide, 5/5! A skillful and careful driver on the road. He is skillful in game drive at Ambosseli National Park too, especially on spotting animals instead of relying just on radios. He uses both. He is reliable, flexible and always on time. The 4x4 Land Cruiser was kept clean everyday and water bottles are provided everyday. Joseph would also try avoiding driving directly behind other vehicles to avoid dust and smoke. (It gets super dusty both on the road and during game drive, and no Air Conditioning.)
2. Lodging: We stayed at Sentrim Ambosseli. Staff were pleasant, food was great with a number of choices of local/Western international/Indian delicacies. 4/5 for shower/toilet in the room due to water pressure and cleanliness in need of improvement. Great view of Kilimanjaro.
3. We booked our whole trip (Masai Mara- Lake Nakuru-Ambosseli) with Axis Safari but when we were in Lake Nakuru, we transferred to Joseph's 4x4. So, I am unsure which company is which, as all tourists in the 4x4 booked with a different operator. Nonetheless, it was a pleasant closure to have Joseph as our guide in Ambosseli.

Heartwarming
Extra Miles Unique Adventures made our honeymoon amazing!
Extra Miles staffs welcomed us at our stayed hotel with beautiful bouquet, chocolates and message cards. They were at the hotel well ahead our meeting time.
We had three guides(Fred, Isaac, and Chris) during our 8 nights Kenya/Tanzania safari tours. Their driving skill was fantastic, and they know where we are, where to go, and how wildlife will move in the huge National parks. Thanks to them, we were able to spot big five also gnoos trying to coss a river.
Big concern happened during our tours when we tried to cross the Kenya-Tanzania border. We were worried and thought about discontinuity of our tour.
Nobody could control the situatuon (refer Election Tanzania 2025), however every staff in Extra Miles did their best to support us. They always stayed with us.
We felt so safe all the time.
We cannot describe how wonderful our honeymoon safari tours were. You need to experience it!
We really recommend the Extra Miles Unique Adventures for your lifetime experience Safari tour.
Lastly, we sincerely appreciate Joseph who took care of our honeymoon plan from scratch. He is the best coordinater ever!!

Fantastic safari experience
Everything was perfectly organized from Zanzibar to Nyerere NP, making the whole trip smooth and stress-free.
We had requested a French-speaking guide, and our guide Agnerus was absolutely perfect. He was professional, knowledgeable, full of kindness and very helpful with my grandparents who didn’t speak English.
Our driver Alphonse was also great — a very skilled and respectful driver who brought us close to the animals without disturbing them.
The lodge and the team was also great with lot of care.
We saw everything ! It was truly an unforgettable adventure! 🐘🌿

Arusha city experience tour
Seth and his team made the city tour during our first day in Tanzania to a non forgettable experience. Seth himself knows all the details about the city and history and is very authentic in his communication. He recommended us further ideas to continue our trips to Serengeti. Thanks for a great day!

Excellent service, very knowledgeable, very kind!
We went on a 6-day luxury safari in Kenya with Nkishon Safaris, and it was absolutely unforgettable. Everything was organized perfectly, and our driver and guide, Chris, made the experience exceptional.
Chris was incredible — kind, knowledgeable, and patient. He always seemed to know where to find the animals and helped us spot leopards, cheetahs, elephants, hippos, zebras, giraffes, buffalo, and so many birds. Every game drive felt exciting and personal.
Our time in the Maasai Mara was magical. The hot air balloon ride at sunrise was one of the best experiences of our lives — seeing the animals wake up in the golden light was something we’ll never forget. We stayed at Sarova Mara Game Camp, which was clean, beautiful, and comfortable. The food and service were excellent, and the staff made us feel right at home.
Lake Nakuru was stunning, even in the rain. The views were beautiful, and we still saw plenty of wildlife.
Our last stop, Old Tukai Lodge in Amboseli, was amazing. We had elephants, zebras, and monkeys right outside our window. The lodge was lovely, the food fantastic, and the staff welcoming. Even though Mount Kilimanjaro wasn’t visible during our stay, the park was full of life and absolutely worth it.
The drives between parks were smooth and easy, with clean and safe rest stops along the way.
Huge thanks to Chris, who made every day special with his warmth and passion for wildlife. And thank you to Abigail for planning everything so perfectly — you made our honeymoon unforgettable.
If you’re planning a safari in Kenya, ask for Chris. You’ll be in the best hands.

Shine in life like Shine and drive like Jackson!
I recently went on a safari tour in Mikumi National Park, and it was an unforgettable experience! The park itself is stunning — wide open landscapes, beautiful light, and an incredible variety of wildlife. We were lucky enough to see elephants, giraffes, zebras, lions, wildebeest, and even a group of hippos relaxing
In the water.
The guides Shine and Jackson were excellent – friendly, clear, and very knowledgeable. They spotted wildlife easily and shared fascinating information about each species. The tour was well organized, comfortable, and respectful of nature.
The only part that could be better is the long eay fron Dar es Salaam but you can have it perfect.
I recommend this safari to anyone visiting Tanzania — great wildlife, great guides, and a truly memorable adventure!
