Perfect safari tour!
We booked an 8-day safari and Mombasa tour, and it was an unforgettable experience. We were lucky to have an excellent guide, Denis, and an amazing group of people who bonded really well throughout the trip. Denis was calm, organised, and kept us on schedule while still being flexible when minor changes came up—always keeping us informed. His deep knowledge of wildlife and his keen understanding of animal movements made the safari drives incredibly rewarding. We were thrilled to see the Big Five up close! His African style driving ensured every day was an adventure.
Maasai Mara – The camp accommodation was fantastic: clean, welcoming, and very comfortable. The food was absolutely top-notch. The safari drives were long, but the experience was well worth it. The wildebeest river crossing, though a bit chaotic due to large crowds (not the tour operator’s fault), was still an incredible moment to witness.
Lake Naivasha – The boat ride was $20, with an optional guided walking safari for an additional $20. Our boat guide was a young man full of knowledge and humour, which made the experience even more enjoyable.
Lake Nakuru – This was a beautiful and refreshing part of the journey. The landscape was noticeably different from the other parks, offering a unique contrast and stunning scenery. It was a peaceful experience, and we enjoyed spotting a variety of wildlife in this more serene setting.
Amboseli – While the drive to the campsite was long, dusty, and bumpy, it was absolutely worth it. Nayati Camp was a fantastic place to stay—comfortable, welcoming, and well-situated. Exploring Amboseli National Park felt like stepping into The Lion King, with its breathtaking landscapes, large herds of elephants, and an abundance of birds and wildlife. The views of Mount Kilimanjaro in the background made it all the more magical. Truly unforgettable!
Mombasa – The white sand beaches were absolutely stunning and the perfect way to unwind after our safari adventure. We stayed at The Reef Hotel, which offered a very comfortable and relaxing stay.
A special thanks to Derrick, who was outstanding in organising and accommodating our travel needs. He was incredibly flexible, making necessary adjustments to the itinerary when one of our group members unfortunately experienced severe food poisoning. Despite the change in plans, everything was handled smoothly and with care. Our guides in Mombasa were friendly, and Derrick ensured we had reliable pick-up and drop-off at every stage—completely removing any logistical stress from our trip.
We were truly impressed by ETA Adventures. Their budget package was priced significantly lower than many competitors, yet the experience we received was nothing short of 5-star. Highly recommended!

Nevill is very professional.
Nevill is very responsive to emails and accommodates all our requests. Even after we paid the deposit, he still made sure we got the room we wanted. After the safari, he also proactively followed up with us. Highly recommended!

Sprexpand Tourturns solo journeys into unforgettable, safe, and soul-stirring adventures.
“Traveling alone can sometimes feel lonely or uncertain, but my experience with Sprexpand Tour was the exact opposite. On Day 3, I set off early into Serengeti National Park and by sunrise, we were already spotting a pride of lions lounging by the roadside. My guide, Peter, made sure I never felt alone. He shared fascinating facts, listened to my travel stories, and even helped me get amazing wildlife shots with my camera. The camp that evening felt safe, with warm staff who treated me like family. I ended the day sitting by the fire under a sky full of stars, reflecting on the peace and beauty of this land. I’ve traveled across many countries, but this day with Sprexpand stands out as one of the most powerful and fulfilling solo travel experiences I’ve had.”

Fantastic!
We had a great time with Antonio Safaris. Anthony was hardworking, knowledgeable, and most of all fun! Extremely responsive prior to our trio and helped us with all our concerns. On the trip itself he worked hard to make sure we saw lions, elephants, giraffes, hyenas, leopards, and many more. He always tried to make sure we got the best views too! Highly recommend.

5 Days through Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli
We had a nice experience in Kenya, our accomodations were lovely, the food was amazing and we saw all the animals we wanted.
I only wish the roads were better because sometimes it gets really unconfortable (the journeys are very long).

Flawless Planning, Amazing Guide, and the Trip of a Lifetime
We had been planning this trip for over a year and contacted hundreds of travel agencies. Pamoja was one of the few that stayed in touch with us from the very beginning. We had lots of ideas and destinations in mind, and it wasn’t easy to fit everything into our limited traveling days, but Regina never let us down. We spent a lot of time discussing the itinerary via email, throughout our countless messages, she always remained patient and provided us with so much helpful information and advice.
As first-time travelers to Africa, even after all our research, we were most worried about running into scams, just like the ones you read about online. But Regina gave us a strong sense of security, she always replied promptly and reminded us of important things to watch out for, she was warm and willing to help. On our first day in Uganda, she even came to the hotel to greet us in person and reconfirm all the details of the trip ahead.
Our original 14-day trip spanned three countries and was supposed to be guided by three different guides, but in the end, Pamoja arranged for Allan to accompany us for the entire journey, which turned out to be the best decision ever.
We met Allan when he picked us up after a short flight to Kisoro. He was polite and reserved at first, shared interesting insights about the landscapes and local culture. He was incredibly attentive, he noticed when we were taking photos from the car and would slow down so we could get the perfect shot. He answered all of our questions with deep knowledge and clarity. When unexpected issues came up, he handled them calmly and efficiently. He remembered all our conversations, even our casual comments and little wishes, and tried his best to meet them whenever possible.
As the days went by, we couldn’t help but grow more and more fond of Allan. Beneath his professional knowledge is a humorous and charming soul. I was delighted to discover that we shared the same taste in music (or at least I like to think so). On the long road trips, we played music through the speaker… well, maybe I forced Allan to listen to my playlist. When we look back on this wonderful journey someday, I believe we’ll both think of the same song. Right, Allan?
What you get to see on safari depends on luck, but thanks to Allan’s sharp eyes, we managed to spot almost every kind of animal (the Big Five were just the beginning). Every encounter with wildlife left me amazed and deeply satisfied. We even completed our “wish list” of animals within the first few days, so for the rest of the game drives, we could sit back, relax, snack, and just enjoy the view.
Oh, and that best sundowner! It’s a memory that will stay with me for a lifetime. I’m so glad I didn’t drink too much that day and could actually remember it!
Every moment and every sight on my first trip to Africa amazed me, it gave me the confidence to keep exploring this unfamiliar continent. And all of this was made possible by Pamoja’s flawless arrangements. Pamoja trully deserves a full five stars—just like Allan. Thank you for making this journey so unforgettable.

Very helpful with an extremely good guide (Chief)
Value for money it was great, and we had a excellent guide in Chief - he knew his stuff and we saw far more animals than what we expected. The only downside would be perhaps having blankets for those very early morning game rides.
The other crew were also great - Blakey, JP and I am sorry but forget the other name.
