It was an unforgettable and amazing safari
Whistling Travel is truly a great value for money travel agency. Among all the agencies I've used, their prices are absolutely fair, and their service is excellent. First and foremost, I have to praise Xiaoxiao, our customer service representative. The initial communication process was incredibly smooth. She's experienced, professional, and provides reliable advice. I planned my own itinerary, following a large loop: Tarangire National Park -> Ngorongoro Crater -> Lake Natron -> Northern Serengeti -> Central Serengeti -> Lake Eyasi -> Moshi. Xiaoxiao provided excellent recommendations for both the duration of each stop and the choice of accommodation. We opted for mid-range accommodations, and every hotel or camp Xiaoxiao recommended was incredibly satisfying. It's not about the food and accommodation being particularly good (African cuisine can be difficult for Chinese people to adapt to, and the showers are all solar-powered, so hot water might not be available in bad weather), but rather the ambiance and service were truly delightful. The two tent camps we stayed at in northern and central Serengeti were absolutely stunning, with stunning scenery and animals roaming outside our tents at night. Secondly, our driver and guide, DEO, was also fantastic. With 13 years of experience, he was incredibly accurate in finding animals. We saw three crossings of the Tianhe River, a lion mating scene (just 5 meters away, with ours being the only car nearby), and a leopard raising its cubs (normally, professional photographers would need 3-4 months to capture this, and it was a first for the driver himself in his 13-year career). Our luck was incredible! All in all, it was a truly satisfying safari trip that met all our expectations for Tanzania!

incredible trip
This was an amazing trip! The trip was easy to plan and Filipa was extremely helpful. The guides were friendly, knowledgeable, and worked hard to make sure we saw everything. The food was good and everywhere we stayed was wonderful. I was surprised at how close we were to some of the animals! I highly recommend Spirit of Kenya to anyone considering a safari!

Bertjan Bolink has encyclopedic knowledge of the park and a great
Rickus and Ruanda Groenewald at Junglers did a great job responding to my special wishes when I organized this 50th birthday celebration for my daughters. They created a customized tour and gave me exactly what I wanted. They let me know all of the details well in advance. They watched for last minute openings and ‘upgraded’ our accommodations at the last minute. They ‘handpicked’ our guide, Bertjan, who became our personal tutor for the week. Every time we came across a new sighting or an animal we’d already seen, he had something new to tell us about their behavior. He fascinated us with the ways he was able to let us see the animals with new eyes. We were up close and personal with animals who approached us. He always watched for signs of danger—we were mock charged once and we were on our way before we knew that a signal had been given. He respected the animals and did not stress them with our attention. He knew all of the birds by song. He gave us a badly needed midday break. He laughed with us and participated in our banter. We can’t say enough about Junglers organization and Bert’s tutelege.

Very well organized tour !
Best way of visiting Ethiopia is a Tour organized by Simien Eco Tours. Our guide, David, spoke good French and was able to give us all explanations of the places we’ve been visiting.

Thuba was a wonderful tour guide!

Our guide, Amani-san, was perfect in every way—time punctually, arrangements, and thoughtfulness
In a word, it was the best memory ever for me. Our guide, Amani-san, was professional and perfect.
True to his name (Amani means Peace in Swahili), thanks to him, I was always able to spend peaceful and enjoyable times. He was knowledgeable about animal ecosystems and had an amazing ability to spot animals. He never missed a meeting time and responded immediately whenever we encountered any issues.
We traveled on some quite rough roads in places like the Maasai Mara, but the vehicles were well-maintained and we completed the entire journey without any problems.
Mama Savana, Amani-san, you were truly the best.

All excellent, very friendly and knowledgeable staff members
My overnight stay was in the tented camp, where host Noxy was very friendly and supportive.
I did four game drives which were all extremely exciting. The staff, sorry I don’t remember your names if you are reading this, was very knowledgeable and passionate about the animals.
It was my first safari, so I cannot compare it with other operators, but there were some other tourists with more experience that were all very positive about the game drives.
Something to never forget.
