Booked us an excellent safari but communication during the trip itself could be improved
Booked an andbeyond safari with kameraz of afrika and had an amazing time overall. They charged a fair price, and communication in the planning stage was great.
My only complaint is that approaching the trip and during the trip the communication was much worse.
For example, they booked us a driver but didnt give us any details on the day of like a name, vehicle, eta, etc. We also had a change in our airline company last minute that neither us or the driver was aware of until we got to the airport and had to drive to another terminal. Finally, there was severe flooding that might have impacted our safari if it was a few days earlier but we didnt get any clear or detailed updates from them, and I had to reach out to our camp directly to get details.
Overall they did a fair job and i wouldnt let those minor communication issues deter someone from booking with them for a good itinerary at a good price!

Exciting Tour!
I went to Akagera for a day with Silverbird and they tried hard to find a travel compagnon for me as I did not want to go on my own. At Akagera Justin tried hard to find all the animals. We did and the Safari car was excellent for this. If you want to have indept information about wildlife at Akagera, book a ranger in addition. overall: recommendable.

Experience for life
We had a wonderful trip as father, son and daughter. We were able to see a lot of beautiful nature and were especially lucky to see the animals up close. Thanks to his sharp eye and attentiveness, our tour guide Barnice managed to spot many animals for us.
We would definitely recommend this tour company!!

David provided a comprehensive tour tailored to our requests. Grand Adventure.
The trek was so exciting and well planned. Edgar, our driver was great. The vehicle was clean and Edgar had a great playlist. We felt the cost was appropriate for the planned activity...a good value. Only downside was delayed communications prior to departure. I would give 4.5 stars.

Great budget safari operator, responsive, straight forward and friendly.
Did a 3 days safari in Amboseli Park, Kenya and it was quick and simple to get a quote and arrange the safari.
The safari was good, Amboseli is beautiful and full of elephants! Even in the wet season, we had no particular problem spotting animals even if carnivores were shy due to the season.
The accomodation was very comfortable in camp Nyati with a beautiful morning view of Kilomandjaro, the food was also good by any standard for a camp. A morning walk in the bushes to spot animals up close with a Masai guide was a great addition for only 10$.
The only downside was that the first day was late to depart (due to flooding issues/traffic partially) meaning that the first day of the safari was just driving to the camp arriving at night, it meant no evening drive or animal spotting. Not dramatic, but felt more like a 2 day safari because of it.
Finally, our driver John, the whole time, was friendly, accomodating and very knowledgeable and made the day fun and informative.
I would recommend Landrail Safaris to anyone, and would certainly call on them again should I come back.

Well organized and transparent in its communication
It was very easy to communicate with them. They were always available for any kind of questions and also helped me with things that had nothing to do with the safari.
As I still go to university, the price was really high for me, even if I know that a safari can never be cheap. At least they offer the possibility for a budget safari, but maybe they should think of another way to make it possible especially for young travellers to save some more money.
I did the tour during the rain season, but was lucky enough to pick some sunny days. I would say that the rain season has some advantages too (zebra migration, less tourists e.g.), but obviously it's also kinda risky.
I cannot complain about the tour operator, but I also have no possibility to compare it with others, as it was my first safari and I usually never do that kind of organized trips. So it's difficult for me to rate it.

Review about Lake Nakuru National Park by Ilunia
We saw Rhinos and lots of monkeys.
Small park, we spent 2-3h there.

Very good service for the safari organisation
The communication with the agent was very good and very useful. After I expressed my main interest for ensuite facilities he suggested DUMELA camp site. After this suggestion I didn't have to look further. Dumela is a camping option with ensuite facilities. In the tent there are two single beds and A/C. It is not really glamping but close to it. The beds were made after our first night, something that I wasn't expecting at all.
The evening safari at the Blue Canyon Reserve with Goodmen and Peace was great. We had the opportunity to see rhinos, lions, giraffes... The drive at Kruger National Park with Evance was fantastic. Evance told us some details about the animals but also about the flora.
At Dumela camp we had a problem with the cold water in the shower but it got fixed after we reported it. We didn't use the swimming pool. Both dinners around the fire place were nice and fantastic to have one complimentary glass of wine (the next ones are charge 20R each).
My partner and I did the panoramic route tje last day. It was nice but it felt a bit rushed. Getting down of the vehicle, walk, take few pictures and return to the van. Despite this I will suggest doing it the final day of the stay.
A point for improvement is the communication among all the employees. It happened that we were told a different time for being picked up and the driver was hurrying us up 30 minutes earlier. And a fellow Safari companion was forgotten in her accommodation and almost misses the evening safari. On the last day breakfast was served late so we needed to rush and we weren't provided with cutlery and as there was nobody around we didn't want to invest extra time in walking to the kitchen to request them.
But in general picture , my partner and I had a great time at Dumela camping and with the safaris and the panoramic route organised by MoAfrika.
