Gombe wild chimp safari provide an unforgettable experience by being flexible and listening.
I had an amazing time on my 3 Day/ 2 Night safari to Gombe in mid-October. My private tour was led by Eliatosha, who was enthusiastic and informative, going above and beyond to ensure the best experience possible.
Along with Joshua organising the trip and providing regular communication, they showed themselves to be flexible, particularly with delays in my arrival due to an issue with my bus.
I had two amazing encounters with the chimps, visited the feeding station and waterfall and hiked to Jane’s Peak. All up, I take with me memories I will cherish.

The Tour Operator to go with for an unforgettable experience!
Our family of three recently returned from a wonderful four-day, three-night private safari with Splendid Vacations, exploring Lake Nakuru and the Maasai Mara National Reserve. Rachael made the arrangements feel easy from the outset, taking care of the planning details and ensuring we felt well supported, not only before the trip began, but also while we were on safari. Our guide, Julius (who we affectionally called, Dusty!), was an excellent driver with a great sense of humour. He readily answered our questions and was clearly committed to helping us have the best possible experience. His patience, and ours, paid off when we got to see the wildebeest crossing at the Mara River! His thoughtful service extended beyond the game drives: on our final night, he helped arrange a special birthday celebration for a member of our party, creating a memorable finish to the safari. We appreciated the care that went into every part of our journey and would gladly recommend Splendid Vacations, and especially Julius, to anyone planning a Kenyan safari!

Five stars because of our guide Thomas
Thomas Made Our Kenya Safari Unforgettable!
We recently returned from a wonderful safari in Kenya with Spirit of Kenya. Our visit was late September. Although we experienced a few disappointments with our accommodations, our guide, Thomas, made the trip truly exceptional!
Thomas was without question the highlight of our safari. His wildlife knowledge, understanding of animal behavior, and ability to find incredible sightings were outstanding. What impressed us just as much was his genuine connection to the park community and surrounding areas. His respect for the animals and commitment to responsible guiding were especially admirable.
Thomas consistently went above and beyond to accommodate our requests. He was thoughtful, flexible, and genuinely invested in making our experience special.
Filipa at Spirit of Kenya was helpful in planning our itinerary, but we were disappointed that two of our accommodations were undergoing construction without advance notice.
At Sarova Lion Hill Game Lodge, construction barriers obstructed much of the beautiful property, and temporary dining arrangements were kind of ridiculous. At Zebra River Camp, construction noise and dated rooms were disappointing considering the price we paid. However, the entire staff was excellent, and the food was very good. Kandili Camp was fantastic, with wonderful staff, lovely accommodations, and excellent value. It was the true tent camp style we were hoping for and we had an excellent night drive there.
I’d encourage anyone booking a safari to ask about the current condition of their lodges and whether any construction is planned during their stay.
Despite these accommodation disappointments, Thomas made our safari unforgettable. His kindness, knowledge, professionalism, and genuine respect for Kenya’s people and wildlife made all the difference. He even helped us sort out a flight issue that we had that had nothing to do with the Spirit of Kenya booking. He fixed what no one else could when he didn't have to.
If you’re booking with Spirit of Kenya, I highly recommend requesting Thomas as your guide! We would gladly travel with him again.
An Unforgettable Safari with Seresafari Africa – Ask for Calvin!
My wife and I booked a two-day safari with Seresafari Africa to celebrate our second wedding anniversary, and it was honestly one of the most incredible experiences of our lives!
With so many safari companies to choose from, we were initially unsure who to book with. Seresafari Africa stood out through their reviews and photos, and from our very first enquiry, they were attentive, responsive and incredibly helpful, advising us on our itinerary and the best camps to stay at.
From the moment we landed in the Serengeti, our guide Calvin made us feel welcome. We were blown away by the customised spare-wheel cover featuring a photo of my wife and me on our safari vehicle! We also received Maasai outfit gifts, and Calvin had arranged a special anniversary lunch with cake and drinks. These unexpected touches made our celebration even more special.
The safari itself was phenomenal! Over two days, we saw an incredible variety of wildlife, including lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, buffalo, hyenas and so much more. Seeing baby animals was a particular highlight for my wife! Calvin was exceptionally knowledgeable, sharing fascinating facts and showing incredible patience whenever we wanted extra time to observe animals and capture photographs.
A special mention must also go to Kelvin, the director, who routinely checked in to make sure we were enjoying ourselves and was always quick to respond to our messages. To top it all off, he personally met us at the airport afterwards to wish us a happy anniversary and present us with another sentimental gift! This level of personal care genuinely sets Seresafari Africa apart.
The vehicle was spacious, clean and comfortable, with unlimited soft drinks and chilled water throughout our game drives. Everything was well organised, and both Calvin and Kelvin went above and beyond to make our experience unforgettable.
We cannot thank Seresafari Africa enough for making our anniversary so special. Their attention to detail, genuine hospitality and personal touches made this feel like so much more than a safari. We have memories we will treasure for a lifetime.
If you’re unsure which safari company to choose, we wholeheartedly recommend Seresafari Africa. Ask for Calvin – you won’t regret it! We would choose them again in a heartbeat. 🦁❤️

Our Safari was a wonderful experience, thanks to personal experiences and tailor made safari for us
Our safari experience in Tanzania was truly unforgettable, thanks to our fantastic guide, Kelvin. He was incredibly knowledgeable about so many subjects, from local culture and language to the animal kingdom and native flora. One of the highlights was listening to him explain the delicate balance of the ecosystem and how the animals and plants we encountered all played a role in maintaining the biosphere’s homeostasis. His ability to bring nature to life made every sighting even more fascinating.
Beyond his knowledge, he was exceptionally friendly, attentive, and intuitive to our needs, always making sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves. We also really appreciated him teaching us a few Swahili phrases along the way. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide and would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone visiting Tanzania!

An Unforgettable Safari Experience – Highly Recommended! 🐘🦁
We had an absolutely amazing safari experience and couldn’t have asked for anything better! Everything was perfectly organized, the lodges were beautiful and far more luxurious than we had ever expected, and the entire trip exceeded our expectations.
A very special thank you goes to our incredible guide, Zuma! He truly made our safari unforgettable. He always understood exactly what we wanted and did everything he could to make our experience special. He drove confidently and safely, knew the best places to find wildlife, and managed to show us all of the Big Five! His knowledge, experience, and friendly personality made every day exciting. There was never a dull moment! We also really appreciated having drinks available during our game drives, which made the experience even more enjoyable.
The accommodation throughout the trip was another highlight. Every lodge was beautiful, comfortable, and surprisingly luxurious. We were amazed by the quality and the wonderful atmosphere at every stop.
Everything was excellent from beginning to end, but Zuma deserves special recognition for his outstanding service, professionalism, and warm personality.
We would recommend this safari to anyone without hesitation! If you are lucky enough to have Zuma as your guide, you are in the very best hands. Thank you for giving us such wonderful memories that we will cherish forever! 🌍❤️

Communication was great!
We had an amazing experience going on a 2-days safari tour, with flights, in Tanzania from Zanzibar. The stay at Ikumbi Lodge was amazing and the communication with Joseph couldn’t be better!

Perfect trekking experience, best guide and great local knowledge!
We had the best experience ever on our 4 day gorilla and chimp trekking tour. Everything about it was a success and it beat our expectations, this wouldn’t have been possible without our guide Godwin he was the best he knew Uganda inside out we learnt so much, he was so friendly and kept making sure everything was running smoothly for us. We couldn’t recommend him enough!
Thank you, Blake and Brodi.
