1000% Would Do Again – A Truly Magical Safari!
We booked a private 10-day Kenyan safari through Kameraz of Africa to celebrate our 20th anniversary, and it exceeded every expectation. From start to finish, it was the trip of a lifetime—and so much of that is thanks to our incredible guide, Sammy.
Sammy was with us the entire journey: driving us from park to park, teaching us about local culture, sharing his vast knowledge of wildlife, and—most impressively—always knowing exactly where to be to spot animals. By our third morning, we had already seen the Big Five, along with several from the Ugly Five and Special Five. Most of the time, we were there before the crowds, giving us private, up-close experiences with lions, elephants, cheetahs, and even a leopard.
Sammy was always early, never just on time—and that made a huge difference. We overheard another couple upset because their guide was nearly two hours late. Meanwhile, Sammy had us at every lodge perfectly timed for meals and even accommodated several special stop requests. We truly don’t believe this trip would’ve been as extraordinary without him!
We also opted for a sunrise hot-air balloon ride, a Masai village tour, and a hippo boat ride—each one added something special to the trip. My husband was initially nervous about the balloon ride (our first), but once in the air, the breathtaking views, smooth landing, and champagne breakfast in the bush completely won him over.
The visit to the Masai village was eye-opening and authentic. Everyone was welcoming and warm, and it gave us a real glimpse into the culture and traditions of the Masai people.
We hope to return one day—maybe to spend more time in a few places or explore new ones—but one thing is certain: we wouldn’t do it without Sammy. He made this trip unforgettable, and we are forever grateful!

Safari Review Excellent and approachable guide, saw lots of animals. Unforgettable experience!
Unforgettable Safari Adventure
Our recent safari was an absolute triumph, largely thanks to our excellent and personable guide. From the moment we set out, his extensive knowledge of the wildlife and the local ecosystem shone through. He had an incredible knack for spotting animals even in the densest foliage, and his passion was infectious.
We were incredibly fortunate to witness an abundance of animals, from majestic lions lounging in the sun to graceful giraffes silhouetted against the acacia trees. Every turn brought a new and exciting encounter, making for countless memorable moments. The guide's friendly demeanor and willingness to answer all our questions made the experience even more enriching. This safari was truly an unforgettable adventure!

Tom was incredible—flawless planning, great English, super knowledgeable, saw Big 5 on day one!
Tom was an absolutely amazing guide from start to finish. His planning was seamless, making the entire experience smooth and stress-free. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the wildlife and landscape, and his English was excellent, making communication effortless. Thanks to his expertise and sharp eye, we were lucky enough to see the Big Five all on the very first day. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide!

Fantastic
We did the seven day private tour leaving from Nairobi visited Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, Hells gate and Amboseli parks. Our guide Anthony was great.
The accommodations were great we especially liked the tents at Basecamp, Mara and Tulia in Amboseli as we had views of baboons,elephants and zebras off our porch.
We will need to go back to complete the big five as we were unable to see any leopards, but saw many giraffes ,elephant, zebras and buffalo. We also saw several lions, cheetahs, hyenas and warthogs.

Worth every shilling!
To start with, Edu/Eduard has been the best possible guide you could ever ask for: caring, knowledgeable and very pleasant to have with you during the whole journey. Besides that we were able to see all the Big five and I enjoyed it the whole experience by meeting new people and making friends. One small tip towards future customers: evaluate well what your standards are in terms of accommodation, since some facilities at the camping sites might be rough; of course this does not interest the company itself, but you might consider upgrading to get a lodge in some cases.
Overall, the service was excellent and communication and availability of the staff as well! Highly recommend!

my first time sarari
I just finished my 7-day trip. I would say it was the right choice. I saw all the animals I wanted to see during the 7-day Safari
. The company's staff was very responsible, picking me up at the airport and ensuring my safety. When I returned to Nairobi, they acted as a guide and told me about delicious restaurants and interesting attractions.

Extremely professional and on top of everything.
We used Monkey Adventures Kenya and Tanzania. The guides we had Rodger in Kenya and CAD in Tanzania were excellent. Their animal and bird knowledge were fantastic. There ability to spot animal and birds were incredible particularly since most of the spotting was done as we’d were bouncing along on very rough tracks. They were also very friendly and attentive to our needs The Toyota safari wagons had pop
Up tops and provided great safe viewing. I would strongly recommend this company to anyone thinking about a tour of Africa. In fact we may be going again next year with our young grandkids.

Compact, Comfortable, and Full of Wonders
We went on this 4-day safari, and I didn't think it would be possible to see so much in such a short time. On the very first day, I was surprised to see a huge herd of elephants in Tarangire. On the second day, as we descended into the Ngorongoro Crater, it was like going to heaven - the lion, the zebra, the hippo and the rare black rhino were seen together. The guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. Beds were comfy and view was great. Although the time is short, this tour is very useful if you want to get a taste of safari.
