Kyambura Gorge is amazing!
If you assess the park purely on the game drives, then it was very disappointing. There are only a few species that we saw: elephants, hippos, warthogs, buffalos, waterbucks and Ugandan kobs. However there are some activities which are excellent, making this a worthwhile destination:
1. Lion and leopard tracking with big cat research scientists. Thanks to the tracking collars we located 2 beautiful male lions, then 3 females and finally a female leopard. Going off road (since we had a ranger with us) made it even more fun!
2. Boat trip on Kazinga Channel is a wonderful way of seeing hippos, elephants and buffalos, plus water birds. Loved it.
3. Finally, the Kyambura Gorge. This place alone is worth the visit to this park. Rainforest in the middle of the savanna. The most beautiful forest I have ever been to. If you are lucky, you might find chimpanzees as well (I did not), but even without them the place is extraordinarily beautiful. You can see monkeys, birds, and the river is full of hippos.
Please keep in mind that there are about 40,000 people living in the park, and about 80,000 around the borders, so sometimes it does not feel like that you are in a national park.

Good Safari but could be better
Generally the safari was a good safari. Thanks to my friend who did the work to find the company. On the first day, we met our driver guide. He is very knowledgble and handsome. He told us everything about wildlife, people, culture and the country. Our hotels were very nice and comfortable. We saw all big five and special five also. Everything was good except our vehicle broke once in Masai Mara. It took us sometime to find help in the park, and we joined other clients vehicle to continue. The company manager met us at the end of the safari and really apologized for it to happen. We really appreciate their attitude. My friend rated them 5*reivew, but I would like to give them a 4* review or a 4.5 * review. The problem was that our vehcile broke once, we wasted sometime when we do safari, otherwise it would have been a 5* review.

"I will definitely book again with lelaa tours next time"
Emails were quickly responded,communicating via WhatsApp as well,i quickly received a Safari offer adapted to my wishes. After i transferred the money, there were changes in the program, because my booking was short notice and some accommodations were no longer available. Fortunately, i got higher quality lodges for the same price.
After the pick up at the airport by Eric i did not have to worry about anything for 5 days until my departure.
My expectations were more than met.Francisco, was not only very helpful, reliable and charming, but also knowledgeable who could answer all questions in details, he was a very good scout and driver, so I was able to experience new highlights every day.I can't imagine a better companion and care.
Thank you Eric and lelaa team for the wonderful 5days safari in Tanzania! I will never forget the experience

Mindblowing experience of exploring wildlife and nature in Kenya staying at the perfect locations
We went to Masai Mara and Nakuru for 3 days and 2 nights. Perfect and professional service from the tour operator including customizing the package to suit our schedule and finding the most ideal places to stay. Their expertise and in-depth game drive knowledge is very impressive. The 3 days of travel was nothing but full of great memories forever to cherish. Thank you for the amazing experience. Looking forward to return to Kenya to explore more places.

Very good experience with the agency. We had taken the 4-day safari package. A big thank you to guide Philippe for his availability, his good vibes and his search for animal spots. We were able to do the big five of the animals. incredible photos and magical moments.

It was a grate experience. We saw a lot of animals in our safari tour.
Good communication with the tour operator. OK with de guide/driver.
In 6 days we manage to see a lot of animals. The guide/driver seems to know very well the places where animals hide. We manage to see the big five (buffalo, elephants, lions, rinos, leopard - and even ghepard).

Highly recommended for all Hotel and safari bookings. Reliable company deserves good reputation
Our family holiday in Kenya was a great success , made possible through Hyvens Tours. . They arranged visits to Safari parks and pre arranged accomodation. Even tranfers to the coast and airport went to plan. We will be back next year and gladly take on Hyvens services.
