Amazing 6-Day Solo Safari Adventure with Top-Notch Service
I joined a 6-day, 5-night solo group safari with Grey Impala Safaris, and it exceeded all expectations. Over six days, I explored Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Amboseli, witnessing the Big Five and other incredible wildlife. Accommodations were clean, comfortable, and well-organized — in Masai Mara and Amboseli I stayed in a mix of double and family rooms, which felt both convenient and cozy for a solo traveler.
The value for money was outstanding considering the quality of the lodges, game drives, and overall itinerary. Communication with Morris was fantastic — he was highly responsive, friendly, and helped resolve any questions or concerns promptly, making the entire experience stress-free.
The tour was smoothly executed, reliable, and perfectly balanced between structured game drives and free moments to enjoy the wildlife at my own pace. For any solo traveler looking for an adventurous, safe, and well-organized safari, I would highly recommend Grey Impala Safaris.

Highly recommended tour operator!
Kenya had been on our bucket list for a while. We chose Nkishon Tours & Travel and had an excellent tour thanks to them, visiting Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Amboseli over six days. From the moment we booked the tour, everything was organized seamlessly and we did not have to worry about anything other than waking up on time for the game drives!
Abigail, our tour coordinator, handled all the reservations and logistics, which was very helpful for us. Leonard was our guide throughout the journey and was friendly, knowledgeable, patient, and willing to go the extra mile to ensure we had the best possible experience. Having our own vehicle on this private tour allowed us to explore entirely at our own pace.
Overall, we enjoyed incredible landscapes and wildlife sightings and felt well taken care of every step of the way.
I can highly recommend Nkishon Tours & Travel to anyone looking to discover Kenya. We would gladly travel with them again!

Wonderful private 10-day Rwanda tour with Hermosa!
My wife and I had a wonderful private, 10-day Rwanda tour with Hermosa Life Tours! Our tour included time in Kigali, and Akegera, Nyungwe and Volcanoes National Parks (with stops in between). Everything - from booking/communication with the online agents, right to the tour and interactions with our guide - was excellent. Highly professional, respectful and just as promised.
[Before I begin the review, a quick note on us for context: My wife and I are Canadian, and are both in our 30s. We're active/fit, and enjoy being immersed in new cultures and new experiences. We elected for a budeget-friendly / lower mid-range tour.]
We initially discovered Hermosa on the Safari Bookings website and sent them an inquiry about a 10-day tour. Shortly after, we received a reply from Tiamo at Hermosa who we worked with via email to tailor the trip EXACTLY to our interests and budget. Tiamo was very polite and prompt in assisting us, and at no point did we feel pressured into booking a more expensive tour.
After confirming and booking the tour, we were assigned a guide/driver, named Gordon. Gordon was FANTASTIC! A kind, respectful and highly knowledgeable guide. Once in Rwanda, Gordon met us at the airport and drove us between tour centres/activities, including during our game drive in Akegera. He always had an answer to our questions about the history, culture and nature of Rwanda. He was punctual, helpful and respectful of our wishes (e.g., if we wanted to make minor on-the-fly changes to our tour, or if we wanted to spend extra time in some places). He also had very good recommendations for restaurants and side-activies. We felt very safe and cared for with Gordon - both with respect to driving on the roads (note that traffic in Rwanda is hectic! But Gordon handles it like a true pro) and in terms of making sure we got the most out of the trip. Overall, Gordon is just a great guy - fun to chat with, a wealth of knowledge, and caring and respectful of his guests.
Lastly, it's worth noting that Hermosa's vehicles are great - well maintained, robust for the sections of off-roading that we encountered (in the National Parks), spacious and comfortable.
Now, on Rwanda - wow, what a beautiful and unique country! The geography and natural environment outside of the main cities is gorgeous - lush and interesting landscape. We were most drawn to Rwanda for a chance to experice the mountain Gorillas in the wild, and we were not disappointed! The Volcanoes National Park staff were excellent (organized, knowledgeable and highly respectful of the animals) and our trekking tour was truly magical.
[A side-note: if you're highly prone to car-induced motion sickness, a driving tour of Rwanda may not be for you, as there are many windy roads around the thousands of hills in the coutry. That said, Gordon was very happy to make a pit-stop if we ever needed one].
Overall, we would HIGHLY recommend a tour with Hermosa Life Tours; and especially in Rwanda. Thank you Gordon, Tiamo, the Hermosa team, and Safari Bookings.

A long but fantastic day
This was a fantastic day trip. Fidelis was a really knowledgeable guide and an incredibly skilled driver. It is a long day with about 4-4.5hrs in each direction (including a stop) but we also got a good amount of time in the park. We also stopped on the way to take photos of Kilimanjaro which proved to be a good idea as by the time we reached Amboseli it was entirely in cloud and stayed that way. We saw plenty of elephants as well as lots of other animals. My only slight grumbles were that the safari van was quite old and I ended up scratching my arm on the roof multiple times whist taking photos, and that the timing of the lunch was quite late - around 3:30 on the way home which meant everyone was too hungry to take up the optional visit to the Masai village. An earlier lunch in one of the park lodges would have been better. Overall though it was fantastic value and a trip I would definitely take again. The total trip time was 14hrs (0500-1900)

We had an incredible safari experience with Jocky Tours thanks to our excellent guide Papa Johns. He is extremely professional, rich in wildlife knowledge and full of humor, making every day’s game drive relaxing and joyful. Thanks to his sharp eye, we spotted a huge variety of wild animals including the Big Five easily. Communication was smooth throughout the whole trip, the service was reliable and great value for money. I fully recommend this tour company and Papa Johns to anyone planning an African safari!
