Amazing!
Our tour with Nick was amazing. He was very knowledgeable patient and timely. It was a jeep of six and we all had a fabulous time with Nick for 2 1/2 days going from Nairobi to Sephora Mara Safari camp. Nick also took us to the Safari to the home of the Masai Mara. We had an amazing time and we felt very comfortable with Nick who took care of us like we were his own family.

**Excellent Safari Experience!**
I really enjoyed this safari experience. Everything was very well organized, and our guide, Harrison, was extremely kind, professional, and knowledgeable throughout the trip.
Although it was a short one-day safari, we were able to see many amazing animals, including lions, giraffes, elephants, hippos, and several others. It was definitely worth it, especially since we had limited time available.
The team picked us up from our hotel at 4:00 a.m., and we were back by 4:00 p.m., which was perfect because I had a flight back to Brazil later that evening. The schedule was well planned and allowed us to enjoy a fantastic safari without worrying about our travel arrangements.
Overall, it was an excellent experience, and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Kenya with limited time. Thank you, Harrison and Steve, for making our day so special! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Reliable, prompt, trustworthy company I would use again
Hermosa Life Tours was an excellent choice to help us schedule our mountain gorilla trek. We are based in the U.S., so the communication occurred entirely over email. They were responsive, prompt, and answered all of our questions. On the day of the actual trek, our tour guide Pacific quickly checked us in at Volcanoes National Park with no delays or issues with the permits. We just sat back and waited for the trek to begin! If I wanted to do another trip, I would absolutely use this company again.
Pacific was incredible and clearly loves his job. His vehicle was clean, had drinking water, and had snacks. He was always early, drove very safely, and most importantly was so fun to talk with! He was so knowledgeable about Rwanda and the gorilla trek experience. Pacific sent us activity recommendations in Kigali as well. He even went out of his way to buy us some banana beer after we expressed interest in trying it! Pacific was so flexible and understanding with us when we faced some payment issues and is a generous, honest man. We accidently sent him over $400 USD when trying to tip him online, and not only did he decline the payment, he followed up with us for weeks after to ensure we got it back from the bank. Not many people would return that money, especially after we had already left Rwanda. This is the quality of the tour guides Hermosa Life hires. I am confident my plans and money are safe with this company.
The only two suggestions I would have for Hermosa Life Tours:
- Provide more preparation materials for the gorilla trek. We had to do all of our own research about what to wear, what to pack, what to expect on the trek, what clothing is available to rent, etc. It would have been nice to have a short guide as a starting point.
-Factor tour guide lodging costs into the final package price as we learned tour guides have to cover their own lodging for multi-day excursions. We (and I'm sure many others) would be happy to pay a little more for the benefit of the guides.

Perfect trip. Awesome game viewing. Great host. Well worth doing again.
My safari to OlPejeta and Samburu was awesome. The hotels were high quality, the food was good, the tour guides were phenomenal. Teddy and Jack did a great job in arranging my trip and executing it to perfection.
In 3 days I was able to see all the Big Five and the Samburi Special 5. A trip of a lifetime.
I will be a repeat customer!

Helps make your dreams come true
We booked a 7 day Uganda tour with Dav safaris, and it was just amazing! The accommodation was beyond expectations!
Our guide, Solomon, did that little extra for us! He stopped the car at nice viewpoints so we could take pictures and took us on a super quick extra gamedrive just because a lion had recently been spotted, and he really wanted us to see it! We also managed to see it again on the planned afternoon game drive! He really did his best to find all the animals we wanted to see, and patiently waited for us to finish taking all the pictures. Also, when we were too late for our first afternoon game drive (because of traffic out of Kampala) he let us have it the next day.
We managed to see the big 5 on the tour. The 7 days were packed with activities, so we were always tired, but very happy, at the end of each day.
Communications was always fast with the company.
I would definitely recommend Dav Safaris and Solomon! Thank you for an incredible trip!

A Dream Trip of a Lifetime: The Best of Botswana and Victoria Falls
Majestic lions, leopards and cheetahs, lumbering elephants and snorting hippos, as well as gorgeous and fascinating giraffes, meerkats, zebras, wildebeest, oryx, warthogs, kudu, cape buffalo, water bucks and impala galore – oh my! Just when you think things cannot get better, add in many, many beautiful birds. With over 40% of the land dedicated to parkland, Botswana is a gem of a country!
Our three-week mobile camping safari with Walking Stick Tours was a dream trip of a lifetime with so much thanks to:
• Phillimon, who planned our seamless adventure from the pans through the Kalahari Desert, to various locations in the Okavango Delta, and into Chobe National Park, booking fabulous camping spots, amazing experiences on land and waterways, and a dream team of a guide / driver, chef, and camp manager.
•OT our amazing, deeply knowledgeable guide, driver and mechanic who shared his love of his country and culture with us, who was able to spot so many animals that we would have missed and knew exactly where to search for the elusive ones, transported us safely along bumpy roads, through deep sand and water, and knew his way along all roads and tracks in these vast parks.
•Election our incredibly positive, welcoming, skilled chef who could work miracles over a campfire creating delicious, nutritious and filling meals and homemade breads and cakes. Being on safari for as long as we were, we also appreciated the advance planning that went into gathering supplies and setting up a refrigerator / freezer in the support vehicle. We were constantly in awe! As well, being on such a remote trip, Election’s skills as a mechanic also came in handy as he assisted OT in the maintenance of our vehicles.
•Richman our amazing camp manager who did everything else needed to make our camping experience as comfortable as possible from setting up tents, eating areas and campfires to providing us with warm water for washing and our outdoor shower, and assisting Election in the outdoor kitchen and with anything mechanical. Richman had a way of noticing whenever anything needed doing and immediately attending to the needs of everyone in camp. His lovely, positive, welcoming and hard-working ways were appreciated every day.
•Tebogo our lovely, knowledgeable mokoro poler and walking safari guide while in the waterways and camping on an island in the delta who introduced us to the beauty and life of the Okavango region, and shared his love of his part of the this beautiful country.
We were touched by these local men who helped us explore and begin to understand the history, culture, and everyday life of beautiful Botswana. They have been the very best ambassadors for your country and for Walking Stick Tours. After three weeks together, we consider them good friends.

Our Safari of Lifetime | Kolkata to Africa
Our safari with Loren Africa Safari was an unforgettable experience, and I can confidently say it would have been impossible to fulfill our dreams without their expert guidance. Every part of our itinerary was executed flawlessly, making each day seamless and enjoyable. Every game drive was thrilling, and our guide, Ally, was exceptional—his knowledge and mastery of the routes made us feel completely safe and engaged throughout the safari. We ended up with an 8-day itinerary with Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Zanzibar All are worth it, unique in their own way.
We saw things we never would have noticed on our own— lion, Cheetah, leopards, Buffalo, elephant, giraffe, zebra, rare birds, all the characters of 'lion king', all thanks to his deep knowledge. We also spotted the rhino, all thanks to Ally's observation one of the 74 rhinos in the whole of Ngorongoro! Thanks to Ally's effort, we were able to witness the Big Five in the wild—truly a highlight of our trip.
We were like a family which added a personal touch to the experience. It is rare to find someone so consistently punctual, honest, and polite. He was always there with a smile before our scheduled departure, and his integrity made us feel at ease throughout the journey. Ally also took care of my parents, who have limited mobility, ensuring we could enjoy the trip without any worries. The team took meticulous care of our food and accommodation, ensuring our comfort at all times. Their polite and kind behavior stood out, and they even assisted us seamlessly during a flight delay, removing any stress from our journey.
After the safari, we extended our trip to Zanzibar and Benjamin organized everything perfectly—from accommodations and transfers to planning activities. Loren African Safaris delivered exactly what they promised.
Overall, Loren Africa Safari provides an outstanding, professional, and deeply caring service. We felt supported every step of the way and thoroughly enjoyed every moment. I highly recommend them to anyone seeking a smooth, adventurous, and memorable African safari experience. They take the stress out of the logistics so you can focus entirely on the magic of the wild also on your rest plan.
Don’t hesitate—book with them. You won’t regret it!

Very professional and friendly tour operator
Our school trip to Malindi with Jacinta at Breezy Tours &Travel was the most memorable and very well planned. We travelled 32 students with special needs and 8 teachers by the SGR train from Nairobi to Mombasa and by bus from Mombasa to Malindi and back. Everything was super well executed. The food was fresh and very delicious. The rooms were clean and spacious. The staff were very friendly and helpful at all times and especially Michael. We visited the Gede Ruins, the Malindi Marine and the Marafa Hell's Kitchen and the students really enjoyed every moment. Thanks to Breezy Tours And Travel Kenya.
