Superb safari destinations, seamless organization!
A Dream Come True
We recently returned from an amazing Safari in Kenya that was organized by Rose Hipwood and her team at the Luxury Safari Company.
This was our first safari and our first visit to Equatorial Africa.
When we were planning our trip, we searched the internet for information on Safari companies…Rose’s website stood out as being well prepared and informative. We decided to contact her whereupon she organized a video conference call with us. During that call, Rose homed in on the wildlife we hoped to see and experiences we were seeking. From there Rose curated our dream vacation.
From the moment we arrived in Nairobi we were keenly aware that having Rose’s knowledge and connections were priceless; as we had been advised, the airport in Nairobi is a bit chaotic. As promised, we were met immediately, assisted in getting our luggage, being delivered to our driver who then took us to our first destination, the beautiful Hemingways Hotel. That same driver picked us up the next morning and thankfully ensured that we were checked in at the Wilson Airport, the hub for safari destinations.
In order to accommodate our wildlife wish list, Rose had arranged for us to visit three different locations: Ol Donyo Lodge in the Chyulu Hills, Saruni Samburu (now called Saruni Basecamp) near the Rift Valley, and Rekero Camp in the Masai Mara. This combination provided us with the opportunity to see vastly different terrains, elephants, lots of beautiful elephants, two types of giraffes, two types of zebras, two types of gazelles, wildebeest, cheetahs, lions and lionesses that got so close you could pet them, hippos, crocodiles, the elusive serval cat, a leopard and birds of every feather; the list goes on!
Each of the camps was stunning in its own unique way, yet they all provided us with exceptional wildlife viewing experiences, outstanding guides, fabulous food, and incredibly caring and attentive managers and staff.
Rose suggested that we end our adventure at “Alfajiri”, a beautiful property near Diani Beach on the Indian Ocean just south of the Equator. Our villa, the host and staff were all fabulous! It was a wonderful place to relax and rejuvenate, another exceptional experience!
Rose and her team at the Luxury Safari Company organized our vacation with seamless precision. They arranged for the best accommodations and service providers in the business, thereby ensuring that we were safely delivered to every airport, camp, and villa. We were assisted with all of our needs, even an unexpected one for medication. All we had to do was wake up and wait to see what nature wanted to share with us.

The best experience and trip ever.
❤️ 🌍✨
From the very first moment when we were picked up at Kilimanjaro Airport, we felt special and cared for in every possible way.
We can’t recommend Serengeti Mufasa Tours enough — truly 1000x1000!
Our guide was amazing: he helped us appreciate every little detail of this wonderful country and made sure everything was perfectly taken care of.
The food was excellent every single day, and the activities were thoughtfully planned and organized so we could make the most of every experience.
We saw so many animals, witnessed breathtaking sunrises and sunsets, and got to enjoy their beautiful culture.
It wasn’t just a trip to see wildlife — it was a deep and unforgettable immersion into Tanzania itself. 🥰🥰🥰 Thanks a lot Elikana and Upendo, you are great!!

SEAMLESS!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Fantastic Safari Experience!
My husband Adi and I have just returned from a truly fantastic safari with Safari Soles, and everything was absolutely seamless from start to finish.
We arrived into Nairobi and were picked up and driven into Tanzania to begin our 6-day safari with our wonderful guide, Dickson. The food was fantastic, the accommodation superb, and we were lucky enough to see all the amazing animals — we ticked them all off our list! Dickson was excellent at positioning us for the best views and photo opportunities.
Communication both before and during the trip was outstanding, and we felt completely taken care of throughout. We also added on the Balloon Safari, Night Drive, and Masai Village visit — all of which were well worth doing and added even more magic to an already incredible experience.
An exceptional trip from start to finish — highly recommended!

Highly recommend - great communication and overall service
I booked a three-day safari with Keshi Tours through this website a month in advance, as I was traveling alone. Since then, I have had great and frequent communication with the representative Eva Githaka, whom I must thank for the great service. She tried to arrange the best for me according to my wishes, within my limited budget - great and very helpful communication.
The safari itself met my expectations in every way and the guide Boniface was very nice, friendly and did everything to my complete satisfaction, to see as many animals as possible from as close as possible - especially lions. Thank you very much for the experience of a lifetime.

Incredible!!!!!! 10/10 experience
Our guide Tiko was very informative and a total professional, we learnt to much more about the animals having him with us. He made us feel comfortable and answered all our questions throughout the day! Our driver was equally as helpful as his knowledge of the park and where the animals may be located was excellent. Overall we had the most incredible experience! We seen so many beautiful animals and loved every second of our private safari! I can’t recommend this company and Tiko enough!!! The lunch was also some of the nicest food we had in Tanzania! Such amazing value for money!

Very responsive and provided the information I requested every time.
Good value for money. My safari trip was great from beginning to end. I traveled solo and had a wonderful experience. There were a couple of slips that were easily resolved by the team and with a 9 hour difference, it really made a change to have a team who could help me sort out every detail instead of me doing it alone from my country of origin. Every part of the safari was worth it. My tour guide was amazing. I learned a lot ans enjoyed the 4 game drives I had. Amboseli lodge was lovely. Thank you!

Wunroots provided us with unforgettable safari
Kenneth kimutai was our contact person, and he kept us on our tours from the time we booked until our arrival. Their services were top-notch and matched exactly what my family was expecting. I can confirm that we received great value for money during our 7-day safari to the Maasai Mara, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro.
The hotels and overall experience were excellent, and the guides were very friendly and helpful.

Wiinroot adventures took us to incredible safari
My partner and I had an unforgettable safari experience with Wiinroots Adventures. Their manager, Kenneth Kimutai, was exceptional in communication ,from the initial consultation and itinerary advice to personally receiving us at the airport.
Charles, our guide in Kenya and Tanzania, was very knowledgeable and shared the rich history of the places we visited as well as fascinating insights about the wildlife. He truly treated us like a king and queen!
We had different drivers in Kenya and Tanzania but didn’t interact much with them. The wilderness of the Maasai Mara, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro gave us exactly the natural beauty and adventure we were hoping for.
Overall, we can confidently say we received great value for what we paid and created memories that will last a lifetime.

Unforgettable safari experience with Signature Safari and Alen
We recently returned from a 10-day safari through Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and Serengeti with Signature Safari, and it was truly the trip of a lifetime! Our driver-guide Alen was absolutely amazing; knowledgeable, kind, and passionate about making every day unforgettable.
Thanks to his expertise and sharp eye, we were lucky enough to see the Big Five and so much more! Alen went above and beyond to give us the best possible experience. He was always checking in to make sure the program suited us, explaining what to expect for the day, and being incredibly thoughtful and flexible. His enthusiasm and love for nature made every moment special and by the end of the trip, he felt more like a good friend than just our guide.
We highly recommend Signature Safari, everything was perfectly organized, from start to finish. If you’re planning a safari, please ask for Alen, he’ll make your adventure truly unforgettable!
