Mixed feeling
Selous park is beautiful but this is not the park to go if you are craving for wildlife and your first safari. Boat safari and game drive are interesting. The walking safari was quite a joke: waking up at 5 am to walk in an area where there is nothing more to see at 6 than at 9. Also I felt bad for the guide who was putting on a show as a "bushman" from the 1920s...
Jambiani is a stunning beach.

Very nice
The tour was really nice. The chef was great and the food tasted delicious. All people were very kind and helpful. They tried to make the best out of the Safari. Sometimes it was a bit unorganized.

Terrific Safari
our safari including stay on
zanzibar was great. all the locations on safari were top notch. well organized and a great guide Loi doe even managed to spot a rhinoceros.
At the end in zanzibar our first stay was a bit less, but we have recovered from a fantastic safari with top stay locations. The first stay was a bit disappointing, but we recovered well from the safari. the last stay at tembo house hotel made up for everything!

Very nice people and beautiful landscapes!
The people in Tanzania are very friendly and the landscape is top. The distance between the parks is not so far but the ways are long because of the road conditions. But it's a great experience to see this and see how slowly (pole pole) the people can live. No way to anywhere is fast but it's no problem. You see many animals in the parks and in the camps also at night. Don't expect an clean and perfect European hotel or camp. This is Africa! But when you get involved with the African lifestyle, then you will enjoy your journey.

Rich in landscapes, wildlife, cultures, hospitality, but suffers poverty, drought, and corruption.
As a four-member family we booked 2 weeks safari and one week Diani Beach south of Mombasa. Both my wife and I had been in Kenya before, decades ago. Kenya has changed, but not as much as we had expected. True, Nairobi is much bigger and more dangerous, but the countryside, the towns don't seem so different. The tour operators, Best Memory, were very friendly and professional, met us at the airport to take us to the hotel.
It was surprisingly cool throughout our safari, it being technically 'winter' there, but quite a bit warmer near Mombasa.
The safari, conducted by the very sympathetic and knowledgeable driver Patrick, went through the most notable parks and a stimulating change of scenery and lodges/camps. Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru were great, Amboseli and Tsavo East a bit disappointing because there were few animals due to the bad drought there. On the whole there seemed to be fewer animals, which is not surprising. Still, we saw almost everything there was to see, except for a leopard. And we were exposed particularly to the fascinating Masai culture. We did learn to check the exchange rates carefully and haggle at the souvenir shops along the way.
The final week at the Baobab resort at Diani Beach was all-inclusive, very nice, we were spoiled. The monkeys were a constant interest for the children but they could quickly grab a sandwich out of your hand. Water and pools were a nice temperature and the food good. There was nightly live entertainment in an amphitheatre by a well-trained troupe called the Jambo Team.
We left on election day. Campaigns were obviously well-funded. Everyone was hoping there would be no violence but they didn't believe a change in leadership would bring about any meaningful change to widespread poverty and corruption. It is a fascinating country with great but yet unrealised potential. well worth a visit.

Bespoke, tailored and fabulous !!!
I booked with Kennedy in 2018 with a view to visiting in 2020. Of course, covid hit and i was able to travel till June 2022.
I wanted a completely bespoke experience and was happy to pay a premium for this. As a single traveller i wanted to feel accompanied and safe.
Was it worth the wait ?????
Oh my life - YES !!!!
Kennedy planned my entire visit - suggesting venues, in line with my wish list, that maximised my game drive time whilst providing exceptional lodges for rest and relaxation.
My Guide, and now lifelong friend, Dan is the most beautiful soul. He looked after me like no other … like i was the only person on the planet that mattered. We talked constantly (i talk alot and had a million questions) about everything from kids to tax.
Dan ensured that i got the positions, when seeing the wildlife, and always shared facts about the animals - most of which i would never have known without him.
I was sad to leave Dan for my onward trip to Tanzania and the Zanzibar (not as good as Kenya for wildlife or guides).
Please book and ENJOY !!!!
