All was good
We were picked up in the airport and had all way through to Ol Tukai Lodge in Amboselli park.
Our guide Timoti was amazing, kind and he took care of us.
We stayed in Ol Tukai Lodge for 3 days and had total 6 games.
After Timoti drove us to Mombasa, some beach holiday.
Highly recommend company and Timoti.

Tanzania itinerary failures and an unanswered refund promise
We booked a Kenya–Tanzania safari with Wildebeest Safaris in October 2026. This review concerns the Tanzania portion, which left us very dissatisfied.
We were assigned a part-time driver. Vehicle problems also affected two days of our safari. On the first day, we could only travel very slowly because of problems with the vehicle, severely limiting our game drive. There was time to have it repaired after that day’s activities, but this was not done. Instead, we had to leave the park for repairs during the following day’s scheduled game drive, losing more safari time. A problem that should have been dealt with after the first day ended up wasting our time on both days.
Our scheduled Tarangire game drive was cancelled because the operator failed to obtain the permits. Our final-night booking at Airport Planet Lodge also fell through, despite Noah previously assuring us in writing that it was secure. These were not the only problems we experienced.
We chose to remain patient during the trip. On 12 October, Noah promised a total refund of USD 150 for the cancelled Tarangire game drive. I sent him my bank details that day. He has not replied to my follow-up emails.
For us, this is not just about USD 150. It is about lost safari time, failure to deliver the agreed itinerary, and then silence when we asked the operator to honour a written refund promise. Based on our experience, I would not recommend Wildebeest Safaris.

Knowledgeable with fantastic customer service
Cuan started the process with an online meeting and really listened to our wants. He clearly knows
Africa inside and out and his customer service was exemplary from start to finish. The planning process was very easy because of him and we couldn't have been happier with the trip- it truly was the trip of a lifetime. Thank you Cuan!!

Friendly and expert
I am a senior citizen and decided to take a solo trip for a Kenyan safari as part of my bucket list. My family was nervous but Melodica Travel was very user friendly and linked me with a great tour group. Wonderful trip and I highly recommend Melodica. The trip coordinator stayed in touch with my children even when my phone service was spotty and helped me coordinate hotel travel that was not part of the tour.

Madini Africa Adventure: We´d love to go again an again
Madini Africa Adventure: an absolute TOP recommendation!!!
A huge thank you to the entire team. From the moment we booked until the end of the safari, we felt exceptionally well advised and taken care of:
Nane and Benaiah: fantastic organization—the accommodations were perfectly chosen and very diverse.
Frederic: with you, we had the best tour guide anyone could ask for. Your cheerfulness, your sense of humor, and your incredible knowledge made our safari an unforgettable experience.
The tour was tailored exactly to our wishes. We were on the road for 14 days and saw so much: Arusha National Park, the Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyara National Park, and, of course, Serengeti National Park. Arusha and Moshi were also worth visiting.
We will certainly never forget this trip and will always look back on it with great joy!

The tour operator is extremely professional, responsive, and helpful
We did a Kenya Safari in September 2026 with Kipruto Safaris. Their service was impeccable and they made sure our safari was amazing. They are extremely flexible with last minute requests and are very responsive over WhatsApp. The value for money was great and I would recommend this tour company to anybody.
If you book with Kipruto you can rest assured that they will take care of everything and you will have a great time

Great tour operator, personal service
Our safari was a large private jeep for just the two of us and it was fantastic. Our guide (Peter) made sure we were ok all the time, checking we were happy and adjusting our schedule to make sure we got the best experience.
He was amazing at spotting things and would give us all the names of the birds and animals we didn't know.
He showed us foot prints etc and explained what it all meant.
We stayed in different lodges or permanent tents (with bathrooms etc - awesome accommodation) each night and the best one was in the Serengeti. Fantastic experience.
Food was fresh and although a tiny bit repetitive, we never went hungry.
Hotel in Zanzibar was good but I'm afraid nothing was going to beat the safari.

Fantastic!
We had an absolutely amazing safari experience with King Mufasa Expeditions! Everything was perfectly organized, from start to finish. A special thank you to our guide Rocky for being so punctual, professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. Everything ran smoothly, and we felt well taken care of throughout the entire experience. It was truly an unforgettable adventure, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Highly recommended! Thank you so much for making this safari so special! 🌍🦁

Makasa has put a wonderful, varied trip to Tanzania for us.
We enjoyed the safari tour. Our guide is a very knowledgeable man who shared a lot of information about the natural world. He is very pleasant to interact with and took our wishes into account.
The communication with makasa went well.
