Unforgettable Kenyan safari experience
We are a family of four from the USA, and we booked eight days with Crimson Brook to celebrate our oldest son’s 18th birthday. We evaluated several safari companies before choosing them, and we could not be happier that we did.
Amos and Betty are the owners, and this is a genuine family business. They make a personal effort to be sure your experience is perfect in every way. Their experience showed in the itinerary they put together for us, which was tailored to what our family actually wanted rather than a package pulled off a shelf. The planning was effortless on our end because of it.
The accommodations were beautiful, with the most luxurious service we have ever encountered anywhere. The staff at every camp catered to our family’s every need. The food, the coffee, the drinks, all of it was exquisite.
Our guide Rueben deserves his own paragraph. He is extremely experienced, he kept us safe the entire trip, and he always made sure we got the best views of the wildlife. By the end of the eight days he had become part of our family.

Spirit of Kenya exceeded all of our expectations.
Spirit on Kenya truly exceeded all of our expectations. My husband and I did 8 days in Kenya. From the start Vanessa was always quick to respond and so helpful in planning our trip and attentive to every detail. Thomas, our guide for the trip, was friendly and so knowledgeable. We booked as a trip of a lifetime and now are hopeful to return soon.

It's an impressive animal paradise.
Our trip to Kenya lasted 15 days. A 7-day safari through the Masai Mara reserve, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha (Crescent Island), and Amboseli reserve. A magnificent experience that exceeded our expectations. We spent 3 days visiting Nairobi, including the giraffe center, the home of Karen Blexin (author of *Memoirs of Africa*), and the Kazuri Handicraft Center. We finished with 5 days on Diani Beach.

Professional and kind
We spent 2 weeks between Kenya and Tanzania and we could not have asked more from colours Africa. All guides were knowledgeable, punctual and very kind to us and our 3 kids.
Special mention to Isaac, our guide in Tanzania who really killed himself finding us one last leopard at 6pm even though he was driving since 6 am and thrived throughout the trip to get us the max out of our trip.
One thing I would change if I had to do it again is checking where the hotels were compared to the center of the parks because this quicky adds 2 hours of driving to your day. Now, most likely prime locations were out of budget or sold out, which is not on colours Africa but if/when I come back this will be my highest priority.

A responsive, knowledgeable, and accommodating operator that creates personalized safaris
Get Together Adventures helped make our honeymoon truly unforgettable. From the very beginning, Yese was responsive, well informed, patient, and incredibly accommodating. We worked closely together to design a trip that would give us the best possible opportunity to witness the Great Migration while also allowing us to experience other remarkable parts of Tanzania, including Ngorongoro Crater, the central Serengeti, and the northern Serengeti.
Yese listened carefully to what was important to us and helped create an itinerary that felt personal rather than generic. We never felt as though we were simply being placed into a standard safari package. Every question was answered thoughtfully, and changes were handled with patience and professionalism.
The preparation materials were also excellent. The packing list was extremely informative and detailed, and we followed it almost exactly as written. By the time we arrived, we felt properly prepared for the changing temperatures, long game drives, dust, luggage limitations, photography, and other realities of safari travel. That preparation contributed greatly to the success and comfort of our trip.
Get Together Adventures also paid attention to the smaller details that made the experience feel especially thoughtful and personalized. I emailed Yese before the trip to ask about sandbags for photography, and two were waiting for us in the vehicle. The company also personalized our tour vehicle with a tire cover wishing us a happy honeymoon, which was such a sweet and memorable touch.
The vehicle itself was very comfortable and well equipped. Refrigerated water and soft drinks were readily available throughout the day, which was especially appreciated during long game drives. There were ample charging ports for our phones, cameras, and other devices, so we never had to worry about running out of power while photographing wildlife. Get Together Adventures also provided a WI-FI card for the vehicle. That ended up being far more important than we ever anticipated because it allowed my husband to stay connected and successfully accept a new job offer while we were on safari.
Our guide, Mr. Makundi, was exceptional.
Most importantly, we always felt safe with him. Some of the roads were extremely rough, muddy, or difficult to navigate, but his driving skills were genuinely impressive. At one point, we watched him stop and get out of the vehicle to carefully assess a very deep puddle before deciding how to proceed. He then maneuvered through it skillfully and calmly. His experience and judgment were evident throughout the trip.
On the drive from Ngorongoro Crater toward the northern Serengeti, we experienced a flat tire. Mr. Makundi handled the situation efficiently and had us back on the road in approximately 25 minutes. Even during an unexpected interruption, he remained calm, capable, and focused on minimizing the impact on our day.
We also deeply respected his integrity. We witnessed vehicles from other safari companies leave the designated roads in order to get closer to wildlife. Mr. Makundi never compromised his standards or the safety of the animals for a sighting or photograph. He understood that protecting the environment and respecting the wildlife were more important than getting a few feet closer. That meant a great deal to us and reinforced that we had chosen the right company and guide.
Every evening, Mr. Makundi would explain his proposed plan for the following day and ask for our input. He regularly invited feedback and made adjustments based on our interests. The experience never felt like we were simply being driven through a predetermined itinerary. It felt like a genuine collaboration. We always knew what he was hoping to accomplish, and we felt included in the decision making throughout the trip.
We also had dinner with Mr. Makundi every evening, which gave us an opportunity to talk about the day, ask questions, and get to know him beyond the game drives. Those dinners added a personal dimension to the experience and made the trip feel even more connected and memorable.
His knowledge of the animals, their behavior, and the landscape was extraordinary. He could identify animals and birds from remarkable distances, often before we had any idea they were there. He consistently positioned the vehicle thoughtfully so that we had excellent views without disturbing the wildlife. As someone who became deeply invested in photography during the trip, I especially appreciated his ability to anticipate movement, consider the lighting and angle, and place us in an excellent position to capture the moment.
What stood out just as much as his skill was the care he showed us personally. When I became ill during the trip, Mr. Makundi checked on me throughout the evening and continued checking on me for several days afterward. That made me feel genuinely cared for and reminded me that, to him, we were not simply clients passing through.
We could tell that the quality of our experience genuinely mattered to both Mr. Makundi and Get Together Adventures. This was not simply transportation between lodges and parks. It was a carefully planned, highly personalized journey led by people who wanted our honeymoon to be successful.
We returned home with incredible memories, thousands of photographs, and a much deeper appreciation for Tanzania and its wildlife. We are extremely grateful to Yese, Mr. Makundi, and the entire Get Together Adventures team, and we would confidently recommend them to anyone planning a safari.

Visit Creation Safaris crafts personalized Tanzanian adventures that go beyond traditional safaris
What I loved most is that they don't just offer standard jeep safaris, they give you a complete Tanzanian experience. From exploring vibrant local markets and learning about the Maasai culture, to swimming in hidden waterfalls and hot springs. The organization was flawless, the communication was great, and the whole team made me feel incredibly welcome.

We had the best tour guides and the best time with Tellena Tours and Safaris. Every tour was on time and everyone was so helpful! We learned a great deal about the Kenyan culture and animals. I cannot wait to come back with my husband and children. I highly recommend this tour company!

4 day was exciting journey and great wildlife adventure experience.
We just completed an amazing 4-day safari in Tanzania Migo African Safaris. We visited Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. Our guide was very friendly and passionate. We enjoyed every game drive and we were very satisfied and grateful to our professional guide.
The entire trip was professionally organized by Migo African Safaris, making the experience stress-free and enjoyable. I would gladly recommend this safari to friends and family for an authentic experience.
