Highly Recommended: Professional, Friendly, and Memorable
It was an incredible experience. The entire staff was very attentive from beginning to end, and the accommodations were excellent. Our guide, Godi, took us to the best spots in each of the parks and reserves to see the Big Five, and we did it! Lunches on safari days were homemade and freshly prepared (not box lunch). The vehicle was clean and restocked with drinks every day. Furthermore, they not only picked us up from the airport the night we arrived but also dropped us off at our accommodation after the safari (in Kilimanjaro). If you have the opportunity to book this experience, don't hesitate to do so with Lion King Adventures, especially with God Bless.

Excellent Experience with Fantastic Time Travel
Fantastic Time Travel were brilliant from start to finish. Emmanuel fully explained everything and was so super helpful and kind. Nothing was too much trouble from Emmanuel. Our Professional Guide, John was great. A brilliant guide who made the whole safari experience outstanding. He made sure we saw all the animals we wanted to and even spent extra time looking for lions. We were lucky to have had such close encounters with the big animals, all thanks to John. He was so entertaining and made the journey so much enjoyable.
Fantastic Time Travel may be a small company but they truly live up to their name.. absolutely ‘fantastic’ !!!

Very good operator
We highly recommend Peak Season Africas Safari, and especially Japheth, our guide throughout the safari. We had six extraordinary days exploring Amboseli, Naivasha, Nakuru, and the Masai Mara.
Japheth proved to be an exceptional guide: attentive, passionate, and always dedicated to providing us with the best possible experience. His driving was safe, and his vast knowledge of wildlife allowed us to observe numerous animals while learning a great deal about their behavior and environment.
Regarding the safari organization, we communicated with Steven, who was extremely responsive and reassuring at every stage of the planning process. His availability and professionalism greatly contributed to the success of our trip. We leave Kenya with hearts full of unforgettable memories thanks to these six days of safari.
Very good value for money, especially considering we were there during the off-season.
Exceeded our expectations with such gratitude to bring us the best experience.
Very well organized from a team that has grown up in the culture and had so much knowledge and able to answer any questions we had. Our expedition covered a close up opportunity with the animals, visiting local tribes and villages to take part in the local culture and a safari that brought us the opportunity to see the big 5 and so much more. The food, hospitality, and accommodations each night made it even better. Loved the camps with clamping tents. We would do it again.

Competent and detail oriented tour operator
This was an amazing trip. We did a safari and cultural experience. Godlisten and GM Expeditions treated us like royalty from start to finish. The drivers, jeeps, accommodations, food and the safari were top notch. Each day got better! We saw multitudes of animals up close including the big five!! We were able to spend time with 3 different tribes in the area and learned all about their culture and daily lives. GM Expeditions took care of everything with special touches along the way. We worried about nothing and were able to enjoy every minute of our experience. If you are considering an African safari, I highly recommend this tour company. I can’t say enough good things about them.

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.
