Above and beyond every step of the way!!!
I had an incredible experience with African Chitah and can’t recommend them enough. Midian did an outstanding job planning and managing every detail of the trip, and his support throughout made the entire journey smooth and stress-free. He was also a pleasure to work with from start to finish.
What truly stood out was his responsiveness and dedication when unexpected situations came up. When one of our travelers accidentally left an iPad behind at a hotel in the Western Serengeti—the furthest point of our trip—Midian immediately took charge, coordinating with the hotel and arranging for it to be flown back to Arusha in time for us to retrieve it before our departure that same evening. That level of care and follow-through is rare and deeply appreciated.
He also quickly resolved an issue we had with one of the accommodations, handling it efficiently and without any disruption to our trip.
Our guides, Jackson and Papa, were fantastic—knowledgeable, engaging, and incredibly skilled. Jackson’s ability to spot animals was especially impressive and made every game drive exciting.
Overall, this was a seamless, memorable experience thanks to Midian and his team. I would absolutely travel with African Chitah again and would have no hesitation recommending him to family and friends.

Enjoyable safari, but there was a clear gap between promises and reality.
Overall, we had a great safari experience and thoroughly enjoyed the trip. We had some incredible wildlife sightings, the lodges were excellent, and our guide, Denis, was knowledgeable and made sure we had a memorable time. However, there were a few very noticeable issues that did not match the expectations set during the booking process.
1. Airport transfer vehicle: The vehicle provided for the airport-to-hotel transfer was far below the standard expected. It was a small car with very limited space for passengers and luggage.
2. Safari vehicle: The safari vehicle provided was completely different from what was shown during the booking process. The advertised Land Cruiser had proper seat covers, a dedicated fridge, charging ports, and much better interiors. Since we spent most of our safari inside the vehicle, this was not a minor difference—it had a significant impact on our overall experience. If a different vehicle is going to be provided, it should be communicated honestly instead of showing a better one during booking.
3. Guide experience: Denis was a good guide and did his job well. However, we were specifically promised a guide with over 10 years of experience, and that commitment was not fulfilled.
4. Itinerary: The itinerary seemed unnecessarily rushed just to make the package look more attractive. Early morning game drives were scheduled in both Amboseli and Lake Nakuru, but we deliberately skipped both because they would have left us exhausted with virtually no time to rest. We would have preferred a more realistic and balanced itinerary rather than one packed with activities that we ultimately had to skip.
5. Lunch on the return journey: The lunch stop on the way back to Nairobi was simply pathetic and nowhere near the standard of the rest of the trip. It was a disappointing way to end an otherwise enjoyable safari.

Amazing Kenya
Traveling to the best national parts with the best guide! Thanks to our guide Alex we have seen the best of Kenya. We have seen All the big five and ugly five and he always knew to park the car in the best positions for our photos. We had all the time to Enjoy the best views on the animals. No rush! We stayed in beautiful places. I do realzize we have been very lucky but
I really recommend Splendid Travel and Kenya for safaris.
Professional, cureteous and the guide to have!
This man has the characteristics required not only to be a safari guide but a role model on humanity.
We have been left in awe of Africa and made unforgettable memories. All credit is due to the knowledge, patience and receptiveness of this individual.
His ability to spot animals and name endless species is incredible. Thank you John for spotting the Faru all the way in the distance with only his naked eye allowing us to tick off the final animal of the big 5 in the final hour on a windy day at Ngogogro Crater National Park.
With love, Jamal and Malkia

Well organized
I booked a day tour to Akagera National Park with Wild Journeys and honestly it was an amazing experience from start to finish.
Our guide Mico was professional, knowledgeable and really friendly. He was patient and had a great eye for spotting wildlife, which made the whole trip even better. I managed to see 4 out of the Big Five in just one day (lucky me!).
I’d definitely recommend Wild Journeys if you’re visiting Rwanda and want a well-organized safari experience.

Exceeds expectations!
The entire South Africa vacation exceeded all my expectations. Etienne and Dalia are amazingly knowledgeable, understanding and professional. The tour was created for me with help and suggestions from them both and they were spot on! They handled all flights, excursions and lodging arrangements. Not to mention passport and visa requirements.
The lodging is fantastic! Nkhoro in Sabi Sands and Jackalberry in Chobe are impressive. The rooms, staff and food are great and I will return to both on my next Africa adventure. . The safaris in both locations are incredible.
I highly recommend Wayfarer and have already planned my European vacation with them!

Outstanding Early Morning Safari in Nairobi National Park
I had an excellent one-day early morning safari with Lensai Safari in Nairobi National Park. Everything was very well organized, and my guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and determined to give us the best wildlife experience possible.
The game drive ticked all the boxes. We managed to see nearly all the animals I had hoped for, including black rhinos, ostriches, giraffes, zebras, and many other species. The highlight of the morning was witnessing a lion with a gazelle up in a tree. a very rare and special sight that made the experience unforgettable.
Our guide had an excellent eye for spotting wildlife and always positioned the vehicle perfectly for viewing and photos.
I can highly recommend Lensai Safari to anyone visiting Nairobi who has limited time but still wants to experience Kenya’s incredible wildlife. Seeing so many animals, especially the endangered black rhinos, within a few hours was simply amazing.
Thank you for an unforgettable morning in Nairobi National Park! 🦁🦏🦒

Great and professional safari experience
We had a great experience during the Safari. It was an incredible experience to get to see the animals in the wild. Everything was very well organized and we were always perfectly taken care off. Communication was great all the time and they replied always very quick when we had questions before or during the safari. All the accommodation that were organized were great, too. Due to organizing reasons me and my friend changed Safari car and guide 2 times, but actually that was nice in that way we got to meet more people and different styles of guides. And the changes always worked out perfectly. We especially enjoyed staying with Richard and David. And in on of the accommodation my friend forgot one of her clothing. Sunny Creek, and the hotel and the guides made it possible that it was transported later on to our accommodation in Nairobi. Which was really great service. All in all we were super happy. By the way park wise we loved Amboseli the most due it's unique landscape.

Perfect
What a beautiful, unforgettable experience! We did a 7-day, 4-park safari with Ozon Light Tours for our honeymoon, and it exceeded every expectation. We visited Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro, and saw an amazing variety of wildlife across all of them.
Our guide, Augustino, was simply incredible — wise, warm, and so knowledgeable about the parks and animals. Knowing we were on our honeymoon, he made the experience truly magical. He even surprised us by decorating the car with a photo of us, and we had drinks with our picture on them too! Little touches like that, plus one absolutely breathtaking sunset, made us feel so special. We’ll treasure these memories forever.
The accommodations were wonderful throughout — comfortable, welcoming, and with delicious food every day.
A huge thank you as well to Deus, our contact who arranged the whole trip and made the planning so easy and smooth from start to finish.
If you’re dreaming of a safari in Tanzania, look no further than Ozon Light Tours. Augustino, Deus, and the whole team gave us the honeymoon of our dreams. Thank you for everything! ❤️
