Martin was amazing, knowledgeable, funny
Martin was amazing talking about every animal we saw and giving us details about them, he always stopped in the right spot for photographers and if you needed to move for the right angle he did , he had sense of humor making everyone laugh and safe on our game drives, he made my entire experience to Tanzania for the first time amazing and rememberable for my first time, I recommend Martin for your guide!!

We have been well taken care of
The hotels they selected are great, the std price but premium service .
The Gorilla Trekking experience is incredible and will remember in my whole life.
We like the visit of the renowned Gorilla Guardians Village, to experience the cultural performances very much.
The trip is value for money!
Promised the world, delivered more
Our guide was Hoppy- cared for us from beginning to end. Amazing knowledge and we managed to see the big 5 plus so much more. Accommodation was amazing, going to sleep to the sounds of the Hippo's in the Sabie river- unforgettable.
I have no words, except to say thankyou.

Excellent!
My wife and I went on a safari in Kenya this month, and it was a life-changing experience! Allano was extremely helpful and readily available from the start of our planning right up to the last day of the trip. We faced personal health issues that altered our travel plans more than once, but thanks to the proactivity of Allano and his team, we were able to overcome these setbacks and reorganize everything to ensure the trip was perfect. It was great knowing we could rely on the company whenever we needed to. Our guide in Kenya was also very pleasant and took us to wonderful places. If I return to Africa, definitely I would choose Active Wonders again.

Perfect Organization, Communication, Value and Safari!
What a wonderful experience working with Shengena Adventures! I found them online through reviews and read up on them. I decided to take the chance and did not regret it for a moment! Amazing!
After careful research Shengena stood out. I was looking for value for money, safety, quality and experience, and Shengena had all of those.
Omar really helped so much with all our planning - he was informative, responded quickly and answered all of my questions (and zo had a lot)! He always made me feel comfortable with the choices we made and helped guide our decision to make the most of our experience. Everything was perfect.
The accommodation was so good and the staff were very friendly. We had everything we needed and the food was delicious.
Also, our guide/driver, Stanley, was incredible!! He made us feel at home here in Tanzania, is a BRILLIANT driver and is so knowledgeable! He knows so much about the wildlife and the plants and trees - my husband and I just couldn’t believe how lucky we were to have such a wonderful guide! And he provided very tasty lunches made sure we had everything we needed. We would highly recommend him!
The all terrain vehicle was comfortable and had charging stations and a fridge! It was easy to spot wildlife and take pictures.
We had an excellent experience and would highly recommend Shengena! Thank you for the wonderful memories!
Authentic
This was one of the best tours I have done. It was real and authentic, and I appreciated the time with the wonderful family. I had an opportunity to learn about the culture of their Homestead. I would recommend this tour for anyone.

Beyond Words
Let me start with the booking. I decided on Kenya and completed the entire planning and booking over a weekend. The entire process was handled over whatsapp. My countless questions and request for multiple changes due to schedule, cost and flight timings were handled with enthusiasm and patience. I could sense the knowledge of the team and the sincerity in making this a wonderful trip. Then comes the trip itself. The hero undoubtedly is Dun (Duncan). He was the guide for the entire 7 days trip. One of the ever smiling and friendly personalities I have ever seen. We will miss him more than Kenya itself. He knows when to go, where to go, what to see and was quick to adapt to changing wherabouts of animals and our wants.. 25 years of his experience and wisdom helped us spot all the wildlife we wanted to see.. Most of our time was spent in his Landcruiser which is maintained well and clean. Overall a fantastic trip with lots of great memories that we will cherish for a long time. Will be back for Samburu soon. P.S. We had an intern, Emmanuel joining us to learn. A quiet and a smiling person who quickly became my son's friend.

Fantastic service; efficient, knowledgeable & competitive pricing
The tour we had, was really a once in a lifetime experience that I think everyone should do. The Masai Mara just doesn’t feel like real life!
We contacted a number of tour operators to try to book our tour, and Arina Adventures was the most responsive out of them all. Following up, checking in, and even lowering their price when I advised that our only hesitation was another company provided the same tour for less money.
From pick up in Nairobi to drop back off in Nairobi our tour was fantastic. Friendly staff arranged to pick us up and drop off. Then when we touched down in the Masai Mara, our tour guy Sylvester was absolutely amazing. He was friendly, informative, always on time for our game drives. Sylvester always answered our questions and was so knowledgable. Sylvester went above and beyond to help us tick the last animal off our list of the big 5, the leopard!
Thank you Arina Adventures for our life changing experience!
