Excellent, Customer Focused tour operator
I had an excellent Safari experience with Wild Serenity Safaris. From the first email they took care of everything. Even when my flights changed last minute, they adjusted everything. I had them book extra hotels, airport transfers and luggage storage for me, which were all taken care of perfectly.
From when you step off the plane and a driver is waiting for you with your name on a card, to when they say goodbye on your last day, the team at Wild Serenity are very professional and caring team who will take care of all your Safari wishes. I highly recommend Wild Serenity Safaris.

Patient, friendly, organised, effective
Highly recommended! Lawrence was a thoughtful, friendly, and patient guide, taking note of my interests and going out of his way to meet my needs. I got to see everything I was hoping for - with enough time at each stop and while learning plenty along the way.
Tracy, who arranged the trip, was extremely helpful and responsive, too. The whole process was seamless, conducted over WhatsApp for maximum efficiency.
Thank you, both - I hope to return for a longer trip soon!

Wow!
Wow!
Just returned from a fabulous 7 day safari staying at Tremisana Game Lodge.
Situated on the Balule Nature Reserve, on the edge of Kruger National Park. Accommodation is in thatched lodges, in beautifully landscapes gardens, with many water features and a fabulous swimming pool. The staff are like one big happy family and we felt honoured to become part of the family during our stay. The Lapa, where all meals are taken is an ideal place to chill out and watch the animals visiting the waterhole just outside the property. Just beware of the pesky monkeys who’ll try and steal any food left lying around. The holiday included a bush walk, many drives at sunrise, sunset, barbecues in the bush, a couple of days in Kruger and a visit to the rehabilitation centre. All extremely memorable and every day is completely different. All the guides are extremely knowledgeable, so prepare to get educated on everything from mating habits to footprints and animal behaviour to spotting the different types of animal poop. It’s so much more than a holiday it’s is a huge learning experience! The guides are in regular radio contact so if an animal is spotted elsewhere then there’s nothing to match the excitement of a high speed rally drive to find the animal. Hang on tight, because you really will get bounced around in the jeeps, but it’s all part of the fun! The guides ensure you get to see everything you can and we were lucky enough to see all the Big 5 within 48 hours of arriving at the lodge. Whilst we were on holiday, we celebrated a big wedding anniversary, so a big shout the staff who decorated our lodge with flowers and also set out a romantic candlelit table for two at the bush barbecue. The whole holiday exceeded our expectations and we would most definitely recommend Viva Safari’s.

Hidden Gem in a Packed Market
We used Safari Bookings to search for our first Kenyan Safari since moving to East Africa. As you will have seen there are dozens of companies to choose from!
Laxa Trails didn't have the most reviews but the ones there were generally positive, so we took a chance. I have to say I'm so glad we did!
The guide Ben was amazing throughout, answering questions, stopping for toilet breaks, doing everything he could to find the best animals possible, but without the constant stream of information that you sometimes find with guides. For our group it was perfect!
Hotels really exceeded our expectations, with some really nice lodges beyond the mid-range I was expecting. They are long days when going on Safaris, so the comfortable return was welcome 😴😴
Top Tip: We saw in another review to ask to upgrade to the Pop Up Room 4x4, and you definitely should! The difference between the Land Cruiser and the minibus is second to none and space is amazing! For the small additional cost it's worth it 😁

well organized, perfect expirience - we highly recommend
We highly recommend Professional Safaris Africa if you are interested in a safari in Tansania.
We had a 3-day tour in Sep. 25 (Serengeti-Ngorongoro-Tarangire) with Anton. He is a real professional, highly motivated and well expirienced driver. He had an answer for all that we questioned during the tour, also with tons of background information about culture, history, people and animals. He is also a very expirienced mechanic. During our tour he managed to help three other drivers getting their Landcruisers back on the road so you can feel really safe having him as your guide.
All paperwork and preparations (we had to fly in & out from Sansibar) prior to our arrival were perfectly communicated and managed by Jesca. All camps and lodges are well organized, safe and clean. The food was great and they all offered a top view to catch a cold beer and end an exciting day.

Excellent trip - perfect guide
From being picked up in Nairobi our guide Ben provided us with a brilliant experience. He was knowledgeable of all the animals on the safari, he could answer our questions but was not intrusive. He was friendly and good company too. We saw all of the animals we hoped to see, the hotels were nice especially the first two and the travelling was as painless as possible. I would definitely recommend!

Perfect!! 👌🏻
We had an incredible experience! Our adventure with Kiwoito Africa Safari began in February/March with Evaline! A strong contact in humanity! We exchanged more than 45 emails before our departure. She made us a customised stay. Depending on our expectations, our budget, our periods. She was of remarkable responsiveness, infinite patience and above all of all of exceptional kindness! Each of his messages was of a rare benevolence! She concocted a stay perfectly adapted to our expectations! We had the chance to meet, she made her way to us when we arrived. Our exchanges were so warm that it's like we've always known each other! Thank you ☺️ Evaline you were great! Really .. then we met Deo. Our French-speaking guide. The one who made us discover the savannah, with so much passion. He knows everything about everything, animals, flora, culture! He knows the roads like the back of his hand. He gave us the time we needed to admire the landscapes, explained to us so many things that we did not know. Deo is a book, a well of science! What a pleasure to have had the chance to be with him during these 6 days! He took great care to make this safari unforgettable for us and he did it tremendously well!! Thanks again Deo 🙏🏻. We closed our stay by meeting Charles, the manager! He came to greet us at the airport and brought us small souvenir gifts! Thank you, Charles. So many touching attentions for us! In short, this local agency that respects animals and nature is the one you need. Everything was so perfectly organised by them that we just had to let ourselves go!! Each lodge tent was perfectly cosy, meals of various and varied choices, all very good. All the staff of the camps were smiling, attentive and attentive. For all this I thank this Kiwoito team who allowed us to realise an immersion in nature with authenticity!
