Perfect
I've just returned from a trip to Kenya, and it was an unforgettable experience. I saw so many amazing animals, and the hotels I stayed in were the most beautiful I've ever experienced. The itinerary was perfectly planned. Bobu Travel Agency and our guide Fredrick provided us with an incredible experience that we'll cherish for the rest of our lives. I'm already looking forward to bringing my family back there someday.

Amazing experience
I absolutely loved the experience—everything was perfect! My friend and I were staying at the Holiday Inn in Dar es Salaam, and our driver picked us up at 5 a.m. to take us to the train station. The tickets had already been arranged for us, which made things super convenient. The train ride to Morogoro took about 1 hour and 45 minutes.
Once we arrived, another driver was already waiting with a very comfortable car. The drive to Mikumi National Park took around two hours, mainly due to heavy truck traffic on the road.
Our safari guide was ready and waiting when we got there, and we immediately started the morning game drive. We saw so many animals—more than I expected! Giraffes, zebras, lots of elephants, hippos, two female lions, wildebeests, warthogs (Pumbas!), and more.
After that, we had a delicious lunch and then continued with the afternoon game drive. When it ended, our driver was there to take us back to the train station, where we waited for our train back to Dar es Salaam. Upon arrival around 10 p.m., another driver was ready to bring us back to our hotel.
It was a long day, but absolutely worth it! Communication throughout was easy and smooth—they stayed in touch with us via WhatsApp the whole time. Also, the cost of the tour was a bit lower than others I had compared, which was a nice bonus.

She was incredibly friendly as well as informative and helpful. She was very hospitable and kind.
My experience was incredible, proving difficult to even put it in words. The fresh cuisine and the tranquil ambiance beside the beach was inexplicably soothing. The tour around the area was amazing and interesting and the value for money is perfect.

Professional and provided a wonderful experience
We engaged Rwindi Voyage for our gorilla trekking at Mgahinga, and we were assigned to Laban. Our communication started on WhatsApp and was smooth throughout. When we finally met Laban, he turned out to be such a wonderful person and accommodated all our requests—even showing us the community school where he teaches and arranging a coffee experience because he noticed how much our group enjoys coffee during the trip.
We also met Baraka, who was the first person I communicated with before being assigned to Laban; he was also very nice to deal with and a very polite person. Both of them personally drove us back from Uganda to Rwanda and saw us off at the airport.
The gorilla trekking experience itself was wonderful—we were lucky and managed to see the gorilla family within an hour of trekking. Apparently, we are the first Malaysian group to do this trek at Mgahinga National Park. We truly enjoyed our time with the gorillas.
Overall, it was a great experience with them—truly great people.

Wonderful company, guide, and accommodations!
My experience with Morning Star tours exceeded my expectations. We loved our kind and thoughtful guide and everywhere we went was beautiful. Each of the places we stayed was better than the previous one, and we saw all the animals at close distance. This company seemed to be one of the more affordable ones out there so I was really impressed with the high quality of everything. I will definitely recommend Morning Star tours to anyone looking to go on Safari in Kenya.

Papa John was the best, most informative tour guide we had. From the day he collected us we had so much fun. He knows every road in the national parks. We got to see the big 5 and MUCH MORE!! He is the best!!

Professional, reliable and knowledgeful.
Our guide Kem knew area, fauna and flora very well. He was doing huge efforts to show us as much as possible, but he also lessened our wishes - did not only drive after big 5. We saw 3/5 (lions several times, plenty of elephants and big herd of buffalos) and also several times cheetah, hippos, lot of giraffes etc. We have 11 & 15 old kids with us and Kem did have good communication with them also. Shine (the cook) did prepare very tasty meals - even kids did strongly agree.
In hindsight we should have booked 3 nights instead of two. Moving to Moremi and back consumed time in first and last day.
It looked like, Kem had not our correspondence with office available. He did check us what was included and did organize everything included and more wonderfully "on run". Huge thanks for that.
One improvement suggestion: We moved from Maun to Moremi (and back) in open safari car through gravel roads. Because wind and sand irritate eyes, cheap plastic construction safety glasses would be nice to be available.
We highly recommend Shipungo Safari & Tours and thank Kem, Shine & rest of team for wonderful experience!

Best guides. Best lodging. Great Food. Best safari experience -- EVER!
I went for a five-day safari with Serengeti Wakanda Tours & Safari and I cannot recommend them enough. In just 5 days, we visited the Ngorongoro crater, Tarangire, and so much of the Serengeti. The staff organizing all of the logistics were on top of all the details -- big and small -- from lodging preferences and meals to pick up and drop off. We stayed at amazing lodges with wildlife right outside the front door and had wonderful meals. But most of all, we had THE BEST GUIDES!. Our guides, Felix and Wilson, were so knowledgeable about the animals, the birds, the plants, the park history -- everything. We got a night-time star lesson, learned about the Maasai culture, visited hidden spots in the Serengeti. They made every effort to make sure we saw not just the big cats, but as many animals within the different national parks that we visited. And they took care to explain all of it. They worked within our budget and made the experience so special. I could not have asked for a better tour company and guides. I would HIGHLY recommend them. We were treated so well and learned so much.
