Professional and Friendly
Pride of Africa are very professional tour company. We were visiting Kenya for 10 days and decided to book a tour with them for 5 days in Masai Mara , Nakuru. They treated us well and we were able to enjoy our safaris right from the time we were picked from the Airport to the time we were to continue with other activities we had for the remaining 5 days. We enjoy viewing various animals and on the last day they treated us at a certain restaurant in Nairobi and enjoy something they call "Nyama Choma". We are proud of you and can't wait to do another safari with you.

very professional, good documentation and well picked lodges
All worked out to or better than plan. Good level of service and the overall experience is generally well living up to expectations
All safaris as well as all lodges lived also well up to high expectation.
The only part that did not fully live up to our expectations was the last resort in Mozambique. Might be due to extremely high expectations related to earlier visits to high end "lodges"

An easy and comfortable way to explore Tanzania
Very good communications an quick respons to any needing an questions. It gives a good feeling of being taken care. This was my first visit in Tanzania and there was a quit new concept with motorbikes. Considering that , I think the service was impeccable.
I had extremely high expectations and evryone was met with brilliance. The safari in Tarangiere was exellent, and the adventure with motorbike together with Karanga Adventure was really a Fairytale with big F. I would definately recommend All In Tanzania.

Great customer service during the planning..but no follow up
Would rate 4.5 but did not have the option..overall wonderful service...great options ..good communication and personalized service during our planning process. We had a very memorable safari experience..our itinerary was perfect for first-time safari travelers..each camp was so very different..the terrain..the venue and the wildlife...an amazing experience..our only negative was that Yellow Zebra never followed up with us or checked in with us to ask how our trip/safari adventure was...disappointing...James Short was our initial contact.....James was our initial contact and he was very helpful in selecting our camps...and Emma was very helpful the week or two prior to travel with last-minute issues because the Visa process changed..we just felt it was very strange that no one asked us if we enjoyed our trip after we returned home..

Still great wild life
Avoid popular game reserves. Too many vehicle safari travellers. Go to minor reserves such as Dinokeng near Pretoria. You can stay in the reserve and practically monopolize the nature. Few travellers. Safety is good opposed to typical travellers comments. Just don't do things or go to places you don't in your own country.

Well done
We met in Nairobi with our driver/guide William, very human person, availble to satisfy everything you need. We went 2 days in Maasai Mara, beautiful, we could see many animals, and 1 day to Lake Naiwasha, boat ride, cycle tour, very nice, among the weather...
Only suggestion to pay attention with Wifi connection in the van and in the Ecocamp. Everything OK, thanks to Maurice too.
Next year we would like to have another trip with them.
Thanks.

Great safari experience but don’t underestimate the budget level of the accommodation/transport
We did the 6-Day Magnificent Best of Kenya Safari with Karibu, visiting the Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli.
Communication was good - office was reactive responding to emails. On the first day they picked us up from the hotel, drove us to an ATM then we handed over the cash in the car outside the office. We were not invited inside and there is apparently no toilet available for use.
Our driver Edward was friendly, deeply knowledgeable on the wildlife and highly experienced with navigating the parks, showing us a fantastic variety of animals. He worked tirelessly over the 6 days. Only suggestion for improvement would be to offer more frequent toilet breaks. Indeed Edward would stop briefly for a roadside wee whereas our toilet breaks were less frequent and fixed at souvenir gift shops!
It was frustrating that Karibu mixed people on different tours, staying in different standards of accommodation meaning we wasted a lot of time doing detours and waiting around for people. On two game drives they crammed 7 people into the van, which made the experience much less enjoyable. The 12+ hour day travelling from Lake Nakuru to Amboseli (with a stop on the outskirts of Nairobi to pick up more people) was brutal especially as the accommodation awaiting us at Amboseli was the lowest standard of the three.
The meals were generally of a decent standard but lacking somewhat in variety. Limited selection of alcoholic drinks were available for purchase. At each accommodation there were inflated prices for bottled water so it is advised to make the most of the bottles provided by the driver. Breakfast was always rushed (30 minutes between breakfast being served and departure with all luggage).
Enchoro Wildlife Camp Masai Mara – Nice camp with spacious tents. Electricity run off generator limited to fixed times in morning and evening. Beer available but not chilled.
Hotel Citymax – Budget hotel with nice evening meal. No alcoholic drinks for purchase but option to source your own beer in the town and drink in the hotel. Roof terrace available.
Kimana Amboseli Camp – Tatty and rundown camp. Small tents. Holes in mosquito nets. Decent food and cold beer available.
Optional activities were nice to pass the time:
- Masai Mara Village Visit - $10 USD
- Lake Naivasha Boat Trip - $20 USD
- Amboseli Sunrise/Sunset Nature Walk - $10 USD
