A wonderful safari experience in Kenya that we highly recommend!
We spent six days on safari across three different parks and were lucky enough to see the Big Five from the very first day, despite the rain! It was an exceptional experience, getting so close to nature and seeing the animals in their natural environment.
A big thank you to Geeman, our guide, who accompanied us throughout the entire safari. He was very attentive, helpful and always available. He shared interesting information about the animals as well as Kenyan culture, and always made sure we were safe throughout the trip.
The agency was also very responsive and available to answer all our questions. The itinerary was clear, well organised and exactly as planned.
An unforgettable experience, with an excellent guide and great organisation. We are leaving with wonderful memories and lots of amazing photos!

Michelle is a well organized planner with exceptional attention to detail.
We returned from our first trip to Africa and it was the most wonderful experience all organized by Michelle. She arranged all of the internal flights, hotel bookings and transfers as well as the tours. Michelle made things very easy, gave some excellent recommendations on lodging choices and organized everything including a recommended packing list and tipping guide. We did not have any hiccups with any of the transfers between hotel to airport or the flights themselves as everything went as planned which all one wants when traveling nowadays.
This trip was by far our most favorite and we have memories for a lifetime. Please don't hesitate to contact her for planning a truly exceptional trip of a lifetime. Thank you Michelle for your assistance.

Amazing safari, incredible guide — just plan ahead on logistics
A fantastic safari! Our driver and guide, James, was simply outstanding: he had an incredible depth of knowledge, could spot animals from a great distance, and was always flexible in adjusting the daily drives whenever needed. If we ever return to Kenya, we’d definitely request him again.
The one piece of advice we’d give to anyone planning this tour is to have a brief call with the agency beforehand to go through the itinerary in detail. In our case, we weren’t informed of just how many hours of driving we’d actually face between stops, which made some days more tiring than expected. We also wanted to see the wildebeest crossing, and assumed it would be easier in August to catch than it turned out to be — we later learned you really need to plan a full day for that alone. On top of this, we had booked a lodge with a swimming pool, but because of the schedule we only arrived in the evening and left the next morning, so we never actually got to enjoy the pool or the property itself. Had we known this in advance, we would have either chosen a more budget-friendly lodge for that night or added an extra day to actually make use of it.
We shared this feedback with the agency, who responded with great openness: they explained that some of the accommodation initially planned in the Mara was no longer available, which lengthened the transfers, and they acknowledged they could have given us more guidance upfront on distances, timing, and how to plan around the crossing.
That said, the overall experience was wonderful.

Everything was organised to perfection
We are originally from Zimbabwe so this was like coming home. The accommodation in Victoria Falls was fantastic. Would suggest doing a riverboat trip (not dinner) on a big boat and then on a hotel small boat . You would get more chance of seeing game and enjoying a cruise that way.
Go to the Falls early and take a cheap poncho for part of the walk.
The camps were extraordinary. We usually had the jeep to ourselves or another couple might join. The morning trip can be very cold so I enjoyed the camp instead of going on that game drive. It was quite and you can just sit out and look at the water hole and read. The afternoon trip with sundowners was good fun.
Would highly recommend this trip to anyone that want an adventure. Its not for the faint hearted as there are lots of close encounters with game.
Off2Africa did a great job and we never had to worry about plans go wrong.

Patrick was wonderful, responsive, very experienced, and the ultimate professional tour guide.
Wonderful! Amazing! We booked a private tour with Ramja and had an amazing experience. While our tour was not necessarily the cheapest, it was definitely worth the money. From the beginning communications were clear and responsive. Our Land Cruiser was comfortable. But the best part of the tour was our guide Patrick. He is an experienced guide who worked so hard to make sure we enjoyed our safari, from driving to make sure we had the best spot and photo opportunity, to relentlessly searching for animals to make sure we didn’t miss the big 5 (which we didn’t). He accommodated our requests graciously and made changes considering what was best for our family. I really enjoyed learning about the Kenyan culture from listening to him and he was a wealth of knowledge about the animals. Highly recommended Ramja and especially Patrick!

Excellent top to bottom
I was impressed with super eagles from start to finish. It’s always scary when spending a substantial amount of money for a trip but Daisy at Super eagles was amazing, she helped in every way possible from offering advice, clear communications. I travelled with 2 young children and she was always there to answer any queries.
Out tour guide Bensonwas amazing, he made the trip extra special. Hos knowledge of Masai mara was phenomenal, he was patient and always made sure we were okay along the way.
He would constantly make communication with other drivers to ensure we don’t miss any animals.
He made us feel safe, welcomed and gave us an amazing experience.
If you want to he satisfied with your safari experience i would recommend booking with Supereagles.

Amazing service, couldn’t have asked for a better driver!
When you’re booking a safari tour ride, no matter how many reviews you read it’s all down to the driver!
Bencen, our driver was one of the best. He was super friendly, especially with our children. He made us feel comfortable, working around our timings, making it easy for us to adjust to the timings and get the best experience ever! My boys also grew fond of Bencen and he made them feel very comfortable, he would all of our many questions, and told us many facts about the animals and the country.
Bencen did his best to show us around the Masai Mara camp and took care of us very well. We managed to see all the BIG FIVES, and the Ugly fives, and many more animals.
The company Super Eagles were great and easy to communicate with, making the whole experience excellent!
We would highly recommend booking with the company and asking for Bencen in particular! We did meet other drivers on the Game drives from Super Eagle and they too were all very friendly and welcoming!
Thank you so much for creating the best memories and experience of the Safari!

Ukhozi Tours delivered an exceptional, personalized safari with expert guiding and photography coach
David put together a fantastic itinerary and handled all the planning for our amazing week in Kruger National Park and surrounding areas. He communicated frequently with us from the start and guided our selections to perfectly match our wish list. His guidance was exceptional and went above and beyond anything we could have expected, he offered advice on everything from packing, to safety, to other things to do while in South Africa. David handled all the logistics including vehicle rental, route planning, airport pickup, selecting and arranging lodgings, and provisions for our family of four (2 adults + 2 teens) including one with a severe food allergy. He even personally prepared two fantastic meals for us on the braai!
During the safari he was an extremely informative guide who knew the area and the animals exceptionally well, he kept every drive entertaining with information about various plants, birds and other animals, and national history. We saw all of the Big 5 animals, plus so many more; we even had 2 leopard sightings within an hour of each other!
As a professional photographer he was able to provide excellent guidance and mentoring to a complete beginner. He set up amazing shots and offered advice as well as feedback that were instrumental for building confidence and capturing magical moments.
Ukhozi Tours planned and executed an altogether exceptional and uniquely tailored experience that was more than we could have hoped for and we can’t wait to go again. Beware the bite of the Safari Bug!

Shever was a fantastic guide. Energetic and accommodating.
Kyooma Gorilla Safaris offered a fantastic all inclusive gorilla tracking experience. Our guide Shever was fun, flexible and topped off what was an already incredible experience.
Kyooma Gorilla Safaris and Shever were flexible with our wishes and took us to see markets and have unique local experiences that weren't planned.
The organisation was fantastic and made the golden monkey experience, gorilla experience and border crossings carefree with all of the paperwork handled by Kyooma.
Accommodation was also fantastic and in particular Embarambi lodge in Uganda which I wished we could have spent more time at.
Finally the gorilla experience was unforgettable and Bwindi national park in Uganda would undoubtedly be my pick if I ever do it again due to the proximity to and number of gorillas we were able to see.
Thank you Kyooma!
