5 Star for Goodluck and Gobless
We had an incredible safari experience, and our guide made it truly unforgettable. He was extremely knowledgeable about the animals and exceeded all of our expectations. He was friendly, professional, and made us feel welcome and comfortable throughout the entire trip.
He knew exactly where to find the animals and went above and beyond to give us the best possible sightings, getting us close enough for some amazing views while always making us feel safe. His passion and expertise really showed, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an unforgettable safari experience!

Absolutely amazing experience!
We found Wakwetu on safaribookings website and saw they had some good reviews, but we still wanted to do some due diligence and after going through their socials and communicating with them via WhatsApp, we were completely satisfied. The safari experince itself was magical. Everything was perfectly organised, we were in constant communication with Wakwetu (side note, it is normal to pay some of the payment in advance). The best part of the safari was that the package was all-inclusive and we loved the camp we stayed at (the food, service, rooms, everything was top-notch). Our safari guide, Peter, was very knowledgeable and patient with our questions and went above and beyond to ensure we had comfortable game drives and saw all the animals. I would 100% recommend Wakwetu safaris, especially to people who have never been on one and are intimidated by the number of options out there!

Exceptional guide for a safari
If I could give Passionate Guides more than 5 stars, I absolutely would! This was hands down the best trip of our lives, and it exceeded every expectation we had.
From the moment we arrived until the day we had to say goodbye, every detail was handled flawlessly. Our guide Beatus was incredibly knowledgeable, warm, and passionate about Tanzania and its wildlife. His ability to spot animals was nothing short of amazing—we saw the Big Five and countless other incredible animals.
The accommodations, food, transportation, and overall organization were outstanding. Every day brought unforgettable moments and breathtaking scenery that felt like something out of a nature documentary.
What truly made this experience exceptional was the genuine care and hospitality we received.
If you’re considering a safari in Tanzania, don’t hesitate. The Passionate Guides absolutely knocked it out of the park and delivered the trip of a lifetime.
Fabulous Safari ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Our African safari was made unforgettable thanks to our exceptional tour guide. He was a treasure trove of knowledge, sharing fascinating information about every animal we encountered, the history of the park, and the unique plants and ecosystems that make it so special.
His experience as a driver was evident from the start. He expertly navigated the park’s roads and had an incredible ability to locate wildlife that we never would have spotted on our own. Every game drive was exciting, and we always felt we were in capable hands.
Beyond his expertise, he was entertaining, friendly, and passionate about what he does. His enthusiasm made every moment enjoyable, and we learned so much while having a wonderful time. If you’re looking for a guide who is knowledgeable, experienced, and genuinely committed to giving you the best safari experience possible, I couldn’t recommend him more highly.

Supertime Safari, the best choice covering whole Africa.
For Safari tours, which can be dangerous, I felt that an experienced tour guide was paramount. Supertime Safari was accurate and had an experienced guide. It did a very good job of linking various activities and adventures, as well as Safari tours.
Especially, Mr. Thula was an awesome person who knows everything in holistic approach. You will maximize your satisfaction when you are with Mr. Thula, the guide.

ETA safari: A Decent Kenya Experience Worth Booking, but Shop Around Independently for Tanzania
ETA Adventure Safari – 10-Day Kenya & Tanzania Safari with budget accommodations
(Masai Mara · Amboseli · Serengeti · Ngorongoro | June 2026)
________________________________________
Why We Chose ETA
Sales contact Derrick responded quickly, was patient with customization, and flexible with pricing. This is what made us choose ETA over Super Eagles' rep, Chanson Kimani.
Note: ETA Adventure Safari and Super Eagles Safari are the same company, so the overall travel quality is trustworthy.
________________________________________
🇰🇪 Kenya — Highly Recommended
Masai Mara is smaller than Serengeti, which means animals are more concentrated and you can get surprisingly close to them. We strongly recommend booking at least 3 full days here.
▸ Our guide Symoh was a standout — experienced, well-connected with local rangers and other safari operators, and knew where to find animals. His network meant we could quickly reach spots where wildlife had just been spotted.
→ One downside: his Land Cruiser was in noticeably worse shape than other operators' vehicles — less comfortable seats, slower speed, and a bumpier ride. We hope the company invests in upgrading his car.
▸ Amboseli — handled by a partner agency, also great. Request Osutua Rafiki Camp specifically, it's better than Nyati Safari Camp.
▸ Food throughout Kenya was good. Budget accommodations offer better value than Tanzania's equivalent
▸ One hiccup: Derrick initially booked us into Manyatta Camp by mistake instead of Flair Camp. After we flagged it, he corrected it quickly. Just a heads up — Flair Camp is the better budget option, with nicer dining and rooms.
________________________________________
🇹🇿 Tanzania — Worth Managing Expectations
▸ Derrick told us ETA operates Tanzania directly, but it's actually handled by a third party: Seven Wonders Safaris. This matters for pricing — upgrading from basic camping to Shuhudia Camp & Hhand Lodge cost us an extra $100 USD per person per night through ETA. When we checked directly, Hhand Lodge was around $180 USD per room — could expect cheaper price via agency.
▸ Our honest suggestion: get independent quotes for Tanzania before committing through ETA.
▸ Our guide Tony was warm and very knowledgeable — genuinely enjoyable to be around. However, his vehicle's walkie-talkie seemed broken, which meant he couldn't pick up real-time wildlife updates in Serengeti and Ngorongoro. This gap made a noticeable difference compared to our Kenya experience, where Symoh's connections helped us find animals much more efficiently.
⚠️ Stomach warning: Me & my friend — on separate days — had stomach issues after drinking hot tea/coffee on different day made by the in-vehicle chef. If you have a sensitive stomach, stick to food and drinks provided by the lodge or camp.

📋 A Few Things ETA Should Improve
▸Communication needs work. Throughout the trip, we were constantly handed off between different drivers and guides (it’s fine) — but ETA rarely told us in advance who was coming next. This caused unnecessary confusion.
Before arriving, we asked Derrick for our Nairobi pickup time and he said "the driver will let you know." We ended up eating breakfast in a rush, only to arrive at the meeting point and wait a long time for other travelers from different operators. A simple message before would have helped us a lot not to book the room with breakfast.
▸Transfer driver in chief Jacob was friendly and drove well — but was sometimes inflexible about timing. As mentioned, day one hotel pick-up was like that. And the last day he said schedules couldn't be adjusted, yet ended up changing it himself. Not a dealbreaker, but a bit frustrating.
