Simply the best
I trusted Altezza with organising the first part of our honeymoon, the safari one.
Everything went exactly as planned, and actually exceeded our expectations. We always felt that we were being taken care of. The team is amazing: responsive, kind, and proactive on proposing things that they think might make the experience better.
Totally recommended if you want to enjoy the safari without having to worry about all the rest.
Big shoutout to Nadia, Goodluck, Joseph, Noel, and our new friend Stephen (the best animal spotter in the earth).

Everything went like clockwork
From airport pickup to quality of hotels selected we were happy with every aspect of the service we received. Our private jeep was comfortable and our guide knowledgable. We took his advice and were delighted with the outcomes. Early morning start from the lodge with packed breakfast gave us some unforgettable experiences with the wildlife. We had limited time but the route and choice of national parks was perfect. I carefully printed out every voucher the agent provided us with but I never need to show any of them. 100% reliability and value for money

The warmth and care we felt from the team made the entire experience deeply special.
It was an unforgettable journey.Our deepest gratitude goes to our exceptional guide, who truly shaped our journey. He was incredibly dedicated and always worked hard to secure the best viewing spots for us, allowing us to luckily witness the wildebeest crossing early on our third morning. But what I loved most about this safari was simply cruising in the Land Cruiser and embracing the unpredictable landscapes and spontaneous encounters along the way. Waiting and deferring to nature was a lesson he taught me out there. He helped me let go of expectations and stop chasing specific sights. By learning to accept nature’s own rhythm, every unexpected wildlife encounter became a truly breathtaking surprise. His efforts made us feel so safe and well cared for.
We also want to thank Maria for her patient communication before the trip. On our first night, our flight was delayed, and we then got stuck in a terrible traffic jam with no phone signal. Our driver waited for us for such a long time, and Maria went out of her way to keep in touch with him and our host. Thank you both for a beautiful journey that left us with such a warm feeling in our hearts.

A Memorable Safari with a Guide Who Truly Respects Wildlife
We had a truly special 7-day safari experience in Kenya with our guide, Sam. Boost Safari was amazing!
From the very beginning, Steve made us feel so welcome by giving us thoughtful gifts that I really needed for the trip: a safari hat and a beautiful Maasai blanket. Such a lovely and thoughtful gesture!
Both Steve and Sam were professional, kind, and genuinely caring. Although we experienced some vehicle problems during the trip, they responded quickly and did their best to resolve the issues. I really appreciated their positive attitude and commitment to making sure we had a great experience.
Sam is an excellent guide with extensive knowledge of wildlife. He knew how to help us spot so many different animals while also respecting their natural behaviour and giving them space. This was especially meaningful to me. A safari should not just be about spotting as many animals as possible, but also about appreciating nature and respecting wildlife without disturbing them unnecessarily. We should observe nature with kindness and curiosity, rather than behave like predators chasing their prey.
We spent 7 days and 6 nights in Kenya, staying at three tented camps, and all of them were comfortable. Our first three nights at Mtito Safari Camp in the Maasai Mara were particularly wonderful and made our experience even more memorable.
Thank you, Steve, Sam, and the whole Boost Safari team, for making this trip so special. I would happily recommend Boost Safari to anyone looking for a memorable safari experience in Kenya!

An Amazing 8-Day Kenya Safari with Hallmark Travel Planners
We chose Hallmark Travel Planners for a 8-day Kenya Safari. We started with Amboseli National Park from Nairobi. The next morning wewoke up in the morning, we saw the largest herd of elephants ever. Steve, our driver- guide took us very close, but kept a safe distance. The next day we went to Lakr Naivasha. I will never forget about the boat ride to crescent Island and the walking safari. Priceless. Then on to Masai Mara. On our first morning game drives there we saw a family of lions, one large male, several females and baby lions. That was amazing. We can't even remember the number of giraffes and zebras we saw during the safari.
Accommodations were clean and comfortable. The food was top bladd and delicious. Lewis supervised everything from start to finish. Our driver- guide was very friendly and helpful. The entire trip went smoothly. I would definitely recommend Hallmark to those who want to go on a safari in Kenya for the first time.

Kla Adventures is a highly recommended tour operator.
Kla Adventures is a highly recommended tour operator. We found them in China through the internet. They assigned patient Kusekwa to coordinate with us, helping us plan the itinerary for Kenya and Tanzania and offering competitive prices. After confirming the itinerary, they also helped us book hotels, tickets, etc. After a smooth connection in Africa, our journey began. The guide in Kenya was named Charles, and he was a kind guide, overall satisfactory. The guide in Tanzania was named William, and he was a meticulous, diligent, highly professional, calm-tempered, always responsive, and well-mannered guide, highly satisfactory. We had an unforgettable time spending time with him.

Tazama Africa Holidays is a reliable and trustworthy safari operator.
We had an amazing 9-day safari with Tazama Africa Holidays, and I highly recommend them to anyone planning a trip to Kenya!
I compared several local operators before choosing Tazama, and they offered the best value, with competitive pricing and excellent accommodation options. The owner, Anthony, was very responsive to emails, and communication throughout the planning process was smooth and efficient. He genuinely tried his best to accommodate all our requests, even arranging the specific rooms we wanted.
Our tour guide, Fred, was absolutely wonderful. He is reliable, trustworthy, patient, and kind. He never overpromises, but he always remembers your requests and does his best to meet your needs. He was punctual every day, drove safely, and consistently made sure we were comfortable throughout the trip. We felt we could completely trust him, which made the experience even more enjoyable.
Thanks to Fred, we had incredible wildlife sightings, including all five of the Big Five and all five of the Ugly Five, along with so many other beautiful animals. It was an unforgettable experience!
Overall, Tazama Africa Holidays delivered an excellent safari experience, from the initial planning to the trip itself. If you’re looking for a reliable operator offering great value, wonderful accommodations, and a trustworthy guide, I wholeheartedly recommend booking with Tazama Africa Holidays.

Wild East Africa: A Heart-Melting Safari Journey with Festo
A wonderful journey, an unforgettable memory. This trip fully met our expectations. Festo took us galloping all the way, enjoying the ride on the "African massage" (bumpy dirt roads). In Tarangire, the Serengeti, and the Ngorongoro Crater, we saw the Big Five, giraffes, zebras, and flamingos as we had hoped, and experienced the magnificent "Great Migration" river crossing (wildebeest migration). When we saw the baby elephants and lion cubs, our hearts just melted. In short, highly recommend Summer Winnter and our guide Festo!

A Trip of a Lifetime !
Thank you to Afrishare to help make my safari dreams come true ! It was an adventure of a lifetime for sure, everything that I imagined and more ! Our safari guides Jeff (Kenya) and Deo (Tanzania) were absolutely wonderful in every way and completely took care of us ! I booked the trip through Ibrahim and we kept in touch through email and WhatsApp with a quick response time. The lodges and tented camps were just adorable with extremely comfortable beds, large attached bathrooms and showers plus electric outlets for charging phones.
I selected the 6 day safari which included Masai Mara in Kenya at the Jambo Mara Safari Lodge for 2 nights after which we crossed the border into Tanzania and the Serengeti for single nights at the Serengeti Ikoma Tented camp and the Osero Serengeti Tented Camp followed by a night in Ngorongoro at the Ngare Lodge ( the one location that included air-conditioning). We were lucky to have perfect weather with temperatures ranging from 60 degrees at night to about 85 degrees during the day so all the lodgings had very comfortable temperatures for sleeping. All the locations had very nice dining rooms and a bar for wonderful buffet meals.
Our guides Jeff and Deo took great pride in showing us all the animals we came to see and tried their very best to find them all for us. Finding the big cats (lions, leopards and cheetahs) was the most challenging since they like to hide by nature but we definitely saw them all and got some great photos ! Our animal viewing list included zebras, giraffes, elephants, hippos, rhinos, lions, leopards, cheetahs, baboons, cape buffalo, pumbas (warthog), wildebeest (white bearded gnu), ostrich, gazelle and antelopes.
Our first day it was a 5 hour drive from Nairobi to Masai Mara. After a late lunch we did our first safari for a little over two hours as the sun was setting, breathtaking ! On Day 2 we had a full day safari complete with a picnic lunch under a tree, it was magical ! Day 3 we did another 5 hour drive to the Tanzania gate seeing animals along the way. After going through customs we changed our tour guide and continued on to the first of two tented camps which I loved ! After dark you need to request a guide to walk you to the dining room so there is a flashlight supplied in the room to flash in circles to alert your escort. Day 5 we went down to the Ngorongoro Crater for a different safari experience, we even saw hundreds of pink flamingos ! I commented to Deo that we saw all the animals we expected but I did not see any snakes so at the end of our Safari experience, Deo took us to a snake park observatory near Arusha !
Going on safari is a very bumpy and dusty experience but completely worth it to see those beautiful animals ! Thanks again to everyone involved in us having an amazing African safari vacation !
