Another great trip with SVAI
This was my second time using SVAI for a Safari trip in East Africa. We went as a family of 11. We were recommended mix of luxury and mid range accommodations to stay within our budget.
Everything was well organised, pick up and transfer from airport to hotels and vice versa. Our Guide on safari was excellent. We saw all the big 5 which was a bonus. We went to Diani beach after and was recommended swahili Beach Resort which was beautiful. Overall great trip amd experience.

Most adventurous safari experience.
We were four adults of a family. Went on a 5N/6D customised private safari with Kibo Mawenzi. What an experience it turned out be. On the third day, we had heavy rains and flooded rivers blocking our movement. We could not move to the next destination. Steven, our guide and Brian the owner, swiftly made alternate arrangements at a different accommodation. The drive to this place was in the middle of the night with some tense moments. However, Steven with his brilliant off road driving expertise made sure we reached our accommodation without a hitch. We spotted the big 5 in Serengeti, ngorongoro and Tangerine NPs combined plus many more. We also spotted 85 species of birds.

Santaviva is a professionally competent, helpful tour company that goes that extra mile!
I got into Kisoro looking for a reliable company for the Gorilla trekking and reached out to Ivan as I was staying at rhe Santaviva hotel. The hotel is a great option as it is a clean, budget friendly place.
I am glad to have chosen Santaviva as Ivan organised the trip well and was clear and helpful with his communication. The entire trip was very well organised and Ivan was there to guide me in all aspects from the permits to the tips that made the trek comfortable.

Wonderful safari experience in Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro National Parks.
We had a truly wonderful safari experience in Tanzania.
The communication with KLA Adventures was smooth and we were able to easily organize our trip.
On their recommendation, we spent five unforgettable days exploring Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro National Parks.
Our driver, Godifrey, was fantastic. He spoke perfect french. He had extensive knowledge of the animals and the parks, and a very reassuring driving style, which was precious on long safari days. He knew exactly where to position and when, always choosing the best spots for wildlife viewing.
Thanks to him, we were able to see the Big Five and a huge number of other animals in excellent conditions.
The hotels were well-chosen. We particularly recommend staying in Serengeti National Park: hearing the lions roaring at night is an experience in itself.
An intense and memorable adventure that we recommend without hesitation.

A perfect farewell
FIKA Safari skillfully helped us (Lisbeth & Flemming and son Martin & wife Ann) put together a perfect Farewell Safari to mark Lisbeth's 80th birthday and the 40++ years since we left Kenya.
With John Wachira Kariuki as a friendly and very competent driver & guide we visited Mt Kenya, The Ark at Nyeri, Sopa Resort at Lake Naivasha, Karen Blixen Cottages & Garden in Karen, Severin Camp in Tsavo and the gem Waterlovers Beach Resort on Diani Beach.
We also visited our former workplace (with MS/DVS in 1971/72) Limuru Boys Center, which now as a YMCA agricultural school skillfully continues founder Bob Mein's ideals of "Learn to Live"
It was great to see again a completely changed Nairobi and an ever-larger beautiful country, where the middle class has become very visible and with a population we didn't have to say many words in Swahili to before we could joke and laugh together.

Magnificent
My safari experience with Akira Safari was truly unforgettable and worth every bit of it.
I did a full-day private safari in a Land Cruiser, and everything was perfectly organized from start to finish. The experience felt exclusive, comfortable, and very well planned.
The itinerary included some of the best spots in Nairobi:
• Nairobi National Park – an incredible start to the day, seeing wildlife in their natural habitat with the city skyline in the background.
• David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust – such a heartwarming experience watching and learning about rescued baby elephants.
• Giraffe Centre – getting up close and feeding giraffes was definitely a highlight!
• African Heritage House – a beautiful cultural stop with stunning architecture and rich African history.
The guide was exceptional — knowledgeable, patient, and clearly passionate about wildlife and Kenyan culture. He made sure I didn’t miss anything and shared so many interesting insights along the way.
The wildlife sightings were amazing, the experience felt safe and personalized, and the entire day flowed smoothly without any stress.
For anyone wondering about the cost — it truly reflects the value of a private, well-curated, and premium safari experience. You’re not just paying for transport, but for knowledge, comfort, access, and unforgettable memories.
I would highly recommend Akira Safari to anyone looking for an authentic, seamless, and memorable safari experience in Nairobi. Absolutely worth it!

A Trustworthy Tour Experience You Can Take On with Confidence — Even for Your First Time
I wholeheartedly recommend NAFIKA TOUR.
I had an absolutely incredible experience over the course of six days.
From the very beginning, I felt completely safe and well taken care of. The team was not only highly professional, but also warm and friendly, which made the entire journey truly comfortable and enjoyable.
I was especially impressed by the detailed daily briefings and the careful monitoring of oxygen levels—every aspect of the support was thoughtful and reassuring.
Thanks to this, I was able to complete all six days without any health issues.
Above all, I was deeply moved by the team’s strong sense of responsibility and professionalism—their commitment to making sure every climber reaches the summit was truly remarkable.
I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to all the porters, the cooks who prepared our meals, and every member of the team.
In particular, I am sincerely grateful to MAX, my guide, and to NAFIKA TOUR for accommodating my schedule on short notice.
Although I ended up joining the tour alone unexpectedly, I was warmly welcomed and guided all the way to a successful summit. I truly appreciate everything you have done for me.
I feel very fortunate to have come across such an amazing tour company.
Thank you so much for this unforgettable experience.
