worn out but joyful
Our African safari has been the most remarkable journey of our lives. From the very first game drive, we were amazed by the beauty of the wild savanna.
Our guide Mr. Tribon was professional, patient, responsible and great fun. He had an amazing eye for spotting hidden animals and explained animal behaviour in great detail, helping us spot rare animals such as leopards and cheetahs.
Watching elephants walk across the grassland and lions resting under acacia trees is totally different from seeing animals in zoos. We got up early every day, tired yet happy, and every moment was rewarding. The accommodation and food were great, the whole trip ran smoothly without any trouble.
This dream trip came true. A special thanks to Mr. Tribon for making our safari so memorable. I sincerely recommend this tour company to everyone who wants to explore Africa.

Very responsive to last minute requests and concerns
Leigh-Ann co-ordinated a visit of Livingston, Zambia for me, following a medical mission in Lusaka. Having never been there before, I left things in her ( as i now know) capable hands. She booked me into the Royal Livingston hotel , which was a beyond beautiful splurge. In fact, it was so fabulous that I decided to extend my stay for 2 nights at the last minute. Leigh- Ann responded immediately to my Whats app request and was able to get me the same reduced rate. I then discovered , after asking the front desk to extend my stay, that she arranged a rate that was more than half off.
She also arranged a beautiful river cruise on the African Queen , where I saw elephants tousling in the water, multiple hippos., and a crocodile. I toured the Victoria Falls, on both the Zambian and Zimbabwe side ( would highly recommend doing both) , and swam in the Devils Pool . I am in my 60’s and a must!
Thank you Leigh-Ann for co-ordinating such a memorable experience!

Excellence
He's an amazing guy. Good per excellence in his job. I had a great time in my game drive thanks to him. Was lucky enough to see the big 5 in one day. I truly appreciate Kasaine for not giving up and pushing through the Savannah. I would highly recommend him. Good vibes.

Couldn't be better
It couldn't be better
큰 목적이었고, 때문에 north를 2박했었어유.
north 2박 동안 누와 얼룩말의 migration 과 마라강 crossing을 수도 없이 봤습니다! 마라강에서 악어와 얼룩말의 눈치 싸움은 잊을수가 없네얘,, 이외에도 기린, 히포, 품바 그리고 big5 까지! 정말 다양한 동물들의 삶을 보고 느꼈네유.
센트럴과 응고롱고로의 모습은 북쪽과 또 달라 꼭 가보시길 추천드려유. 수십말이의 히포가 강물에 자기가 싼 똥에 파묻혀 자는 모습은 정말 ,, 워후~~ 개인적으로 응고롱고로의 지형과 그 속에 있는 사파리 생태계 모습은 정말 신기했네유.
찰스의 전문적인 지식과 판단 그리고 전문 지식은 우리의 여행을 더욱 꽉 채워줬어유. 늘 사방을 예의 주시하여서 우리가 다양한 경험을 하도록 도와줬어유. kind 하고 gentle한 성격은 덤,, whatever 제가 궁금한 건 다 대답해줘요,,
사파리 끝나고 보니 가이드의 판단이 아주 중요하니 hoxy 이 리뷰를 보시는 한국인 계시다면 아주 추천드려유 따봉,,! 👍

Our 5-day, 4-night safari journey with the two of us, our mothers, and Charles was absolutely perfect from start to finish. Not a single day could have been better.
Since we traveled around the end of September and beginning of October, our main goal was to see the migration and the Mara River crossing, so we spent two nights in the North. During those two nights, we saw countless wildebeest and zebras migrating, including several incredible Mara River crossings! The moment when the crocodiles and zebras were watching each other carefully at the river is something I will never forget.
We also saw giraffes, hippos, warthogs, and, of course, the Big Five! It was an amazing experience to see and feel the lives of so many different animals up close.
The Central Serengeti and Ngorongoro were completely different from the North, so I highly recommend visiting them as well. Seeing dozens of hippos sleeping in the river, surrounded by their own… well, you know 😅, was absolutely unforgettable! Personally, I was especially fascinated by the unique landscape of Ngorongoro and the incredible ecosystem within the crater.
Charles's professional knowledge and excellent judgment made our safari experience even more complete. He was always carefully watching in every direction and made sure we could have as many amazing experiences as possible.
On top of that, he is such a kind and gentle person. Whatever we were curious about, he always took the time to answer our questions.
After finishing the safari, I realized once again how important a guide's judgment and experience really are. So, if any Korean travelers happen to come across this review, I highly recommend Charles without hesitation!
Thumbs up! 👍

5 stars – Unforgettable Big Five Safari!
Huge thanks to our safari organiser Lissa. She was incredibly patient answering all my questions about the itinerary, accommodation and meals. Everything was arranged perfectly.
Our driver-guide Burton was extremely professional. He shared tons of fascinating facts about wildlife and drove very smoothly and safely throughout the trip.
The other group members on our shared tour were all lovely and friendly. We had such an amazing time together.
We were incredibly lucky to spot the entire Big Five! This has truly been an unforgettable experience.

Kevin was amazing !
They were very organized
Our guide Kevin was punctual and very knowledgeable. He was also flexible with our needs. If I needed to make additional stops or if we were running behind. We saw 1,000s of animals and kevin was very imformative. We got extremely lucky and saw the big 5 on our second day. We also saw a black rhino. This was because Kevin had much experience and knowledge and brought us to the right spots and communicated with other drivers.
Kevin was extremely friendly and made us feel very welcomed and comfortable at all times.

Incredibly committed and dedicated to our well being
Wakanda set up the perfect safari for us! They helped us get to the optimal schedule for our wishes and organized everything impeccably. Communication with the organizing team was easy and pleasant, both back home and once in Tanzania.
The safari itself was amazing (ngorongoro, southern / center / northern Serengeti) and our guide Bashir was the best! Would 100% recommend to book your safari with Wakanda.

Great People Made This Trip Even Better
This was our first safari in Africa, and we’re really happy we chose Edwin Safari!
We booked a private 6-day tour for three people, covering from Amboseli, Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru and ended with two-day Masai Mara. I think the company did a great job planning the route. We got to experience different landscapes and see a great variety of wildlife along the way. Naivasha and Nakuru were definitely worth including in the itinerary.
The accommodation was another highlight. All the lodges were 4- to 5-star quality, with comfortable rooms and really enjoyable restaurants. Most importantly, we stayed inside the parks, which made the game drive experience easier. We were very happy with all the arrangements.
Our guide Jack was fantastic! He’s very experienced, always on time, and knows his way around the parks. We also noticed how friendly he was with other guides everywhere we went, which was really nice to see. We felt very comfortable and safe traveling with him for the whole trip.
We had some trouble with flight delays and delayed luggage at the beginning of our journey, but the team was very flexible and helped us adjust the arrangements. That really took a lot of stress off us, especially since it was our first time visiting Kenya. We got to meet Peter and Edwin when we got out of Nairobi airport.
What I also appreciated was that before they took us to the airport on the last day, Peter also came to meet us in Nairobi shopping mall because he wanted to hear how our trip went and if there was anything they could improve. It’s a small thing, but it says a lot about how much they care about their guests.
Overall, we felt very well taken care of from beginning to end. I believe a company that takes feedback seriously will only get better, and I really appreciate their attitude.
Thanks again to Jack, Peter and the Edwin Safari team! Would definitely recommend them, especially if you’re planning your first safari in Kenya.

Outstanding. I have always used Leopard Tours when I organise safaris in Tanzania.
Leopard Tours are the best. Great people, good buying power, great advice on where to go and stay. I have used Leopard Tours for 20 years. Never been disappointed.
