Wonderful Trip in Zanzibar
We had a wonderful trip exploring Zanzibar with Sote Tours. We visited Stone Town, Prison Island, Nakupenda Beach, and Mnemba Atoll. Everything was well organized, and we had enough time at each stop to enjoy the experience without feeling rushed.
Our guide, Said, was definitely one of the highlights of the day. He was knowledgeable, friendly, funny, and very easy to talk to. He shared interesting information about the places we visited and was always happy to answer our questions. He also made sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying the day.
We really enjoyed all the places we visited, and the whole experience was smooth from beginning to end. I would definitely recommend this Zanzibar tour, and if you get Said as your guide, you will be in good hands!

Helpful, responsive, kind and professional. The perfect Safari
We booked a 5-day safari and it was unforgettable, right from the choice of destinations and accommodations they were extremely kind in accommodating our needs.
John, our guide, proved to be a great and knowledgeable travel companion. The accommodations were excellent and he was very willing to accommodate our requests.

Midrange 14 day Kenya and Tanzania safari
My wife and I were interested in booking a safari. We got quotes from several operators but went with Inspired Feet because they pulled back the curtain and showed the value, or lack if value for certain activities. Fiona was incredibly responsive before we put down the deposit.
During the entire process before we left for our trip Fiona was so responsive that I wondered when she slept. Her responsiveness was comforting throughout the planning of and the actual safari. It is hard to describe the logistics behind a 14 day safari to anyone that has not done one. Inspired Feet and Fiona inspired confidence that everything would be ok.
It is important that anyone considering a safari understand that if you want the best lodge, food and service it is available, but you are going to pay for that level of service. If you want a budget experience you can camp out in tents with basic, no frills amenities. We chose the midrange and we consistently pleased with our accommodations throughout our safari. Inspired Feet helped us understand the difference between budget and midrange. We felt we got great value for the money. We could not have planned a better trip had we had infinite time to research everything ourselves.
If I have one piece of advice, that Inspired Feet helped us with, is to calibrate your expectations. If you want a high end resort then expect to pay for a high end resort. We chose a midrange because we are too old to sleep in a tent. That does not mean that we expected Western hotel standards in Africa, but we were consistently impressed by the choices that Inspired Feet made for us.
Last thing as you consider a safari. The animals are the same whether you stay at a $3,000 USD a night resort or sleep in a tent with a foam pad. Inspired Feet set us up with some of the best guides available. The guides gave us an incredible experience each time we went out with them. If you do a group safari you cannot choose who is in your safari vehicle with you, but even if you are stuck with Instagram queens and others who’s level of entitlement borders on the extreme, a good guide can make a safari a great experience.
I wholeheartedly recommend Inspired Feet for your safari.

An Extraordinary Kenyan Safari with Lutea Africa Safari
An Extraordinary Kenyan Safari with Lutea Africa Safari
We had been planning our Kenyan safari since last year and were eagerly looking forward to the festive season of Ganesh Chaturthi, which fell from 14th to 18th September 2026. By combining the festival holidays with the preceding and following weekends, we were able to plan a relaxed holiday rather than one that felt rushed.
From July 2026 onwards, we explored several travel companies based in Kenya. After carefully considering our options, we shortlisted two, and finally went ahead with what turned out to be our obvious choice — Lutea Africa Safaris.
Our journey was a 5-night, 6-day safari from 13th to 18th September 2026. We were in constant communication with Mr. Chris Ouma, CEO of Lutea Africa Safaris on his number +254 718 269342 right from 6th July. We explained what we were looking for, and Chris thoughtfully designed a tailor-made itinerary that perfectly suited our interests.
Our journey covered three nights in the Maasai Mara, one night at Lake Nakuru and one night at Lake Naivasha. Each destination had its own character, landscape and wildlife experience. But every great safari needs a narrator — and ours came in the form of our wonderful guide, Mr. Johnstone.
*Maasai Mara — The Heart of Our Safari*
We spent three unforgettable days in the Maasai Mara Game Reserve, staying at Matira Bush Camp from 13th to 15th September.
The Maasai Mara is difficult to describe in words. The endless golden plains, dramatic African skies and extraordinary abundance of wildlife make you feel as though you have stepped straight into a wildlife documentary.
We were incredibly fortunate with our sightings. During our stay, we encountered five different lion prides — Blackrock Pride, Marsh Pride (including one of the famous Topi boys), Keekorok Pride, Fig Tree Pride and Sand River Pride.
The Mara also gifted us sightings of two leopards, with Loluka being the undisputed star, and three cheetahs. We encountered large herds of elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest and buffaloes, along with hippos, crocodiles and warthogs.
And every time we saw a warthog, it was impossible not to think of Pumbaa from The Lion King!
The September landscape, combined with the spectacular movement of wildebeest and zebras across the Mara, made the experience even more magical. Every game drive seemed to bring with it the possibility of witnessing something completely unexpected.
*Matira Bush Camp — An Authentic African Bush Experience*
Our stay at Matira Bush Camp complemented our Mara experience beautifully.
From the moment we arrived, Stella briefed us about the camp and ensured that we were comfortable. Steve greeted us with a smile every time and was particularly enthusiastic about learning to speak Hindi — something that made our interactions even more enjoyable.
Ben and Tante deserve a special mention as well. Every night, when the camp became pitch dark and there was no electricity between 11 pm and 4 am, they were there to guard and escort us around the camp, ensuring our safety. At times each night, we could hear the roars of the R5 lion pride which had its territory a few miles away from our camp.
Joseph, the camp manager, was genuinely interested in our feedback and enthusiastic about making improvements to ensure guests had a comfortable stay.
What made Matira special was its authenticity. Being surrounded by the African bush, hearing the sounds of the wilderness and returning to camp after a long game drive created a feeling that was very different from a conventional hotel stay.
And, of course, the food deserves a special mention. The chef at the camp made sure that meals were prepared keeping our Indian taste buds in mind, which was particularly appreciated after long days in the bush.
*Lake Nakuru — A Completely Different Kenya*
Our next destination was Lake Nakuru, where we stayed at Sarova Woodlands.
The landscape was completely different from the Maasai Mara, and that contrast was fascinating. We enjoyed sightings of rhinos, giraffes, buffaloes, zebras and other wildlife, while also taking in the beautiful scenery around the lake.
One of the wonderful things about travelling through Kenya is witnessing how dramatically the landscape and wildlife change from one region to another. Within a relatively short journey, the experience can feel completely different.
*Lake Naivasha — A Peaceful Finale*
Our final destination was Lake Naivasha, where we stayed at MGM Muthu Country Side.
After the excitement and intensity of the Mara and Nakuru, Naivasha provided the perfect opportunity to slow down and relax.
The lake, greenery and abundant birdlife created a beautiful and peaceful atmosphere. But what made our stay particularly memorable was the wildlife roaming freely around the resort campus.
Seeing zebras, waterbucks and monkeys moving around the property as though it belonged to them was a wonderful experience. It was a fittingly tranquil conclusion to an adventure-filled safari.
*A Special Mention for Our Guide — Johnstone*
Our sincere thanks go to Lutea Africa Safaris and Chris Ouma for putting together such a wonderful journey.
The planning, coordination, transfers, safari arrangements and accommodation were handled smoothly, allowing us to concentrate on what really mattered — enjoying Kenya.
But a very special and heartfelt mention must go to our guide, Johnstone.
A safari can be memorable because of the wildlife, but a great guide can transform it into an extraordinary experience — and Johnstone did exactly that.
His knowledge of the Mara, understanding of animal behaviour, exceptionally sharp eyes and incredible patience were remarkable.
Whether tracking lions, locating wildlife hidden deep in the grass or patiently waiting for the perfect photographic opportunity, Johnstone remained calm, attentive and genuinely passionate about what he was doing.
What we appreciated most was that he never made the safari feel rushed. He gave us the time to simply sit, watch, listen and absorb the moment.
He also made sure that we learnt some basic Swahili, which helped us connect with the local people and staff throughout our journey.
Every morning, we would greet people with:
“Habari za asubuhi!” — Good morning.
The response would invariably be:
“Karibu!” — Welcome.
And of course, we quickly learnt our most important word:
“Asante!” — Thank you.
These simple exchanges, always accompanied by broad smiles, became some of the little moments we will remember fondly.
There is, however, one confession we have to make.
Throughout almost the entire trip, I kept calling our guide “Johnson” instead of “Johnstone”!
It was only while signing off at the end of our tour that I finally realised his actual name was Johnstone. Feel free to connect with him on +254 713 326352
Sorry, Johnstone!
Thank you for your patience — not just with the wildlife, but with me as well!
🇰🇪 Leaving Kenya With Memories, Not Just Photographs
When we finally left Kenya, we realised that we weren’t simply taking photographs home with us.
We were taking home moments.
The roar of lions across the Mara.
The sight of a leopard disappearing into the grass.
The endless movement of wildebeest and zebras.
The quiet patience of waiting for an animal to emerge.
The warmth of the people we met.
The smiles and Karibu greetings.
The sounds of the African bush at night.
And the unforgettable experience of being completely immersed in nature.
Our six days may have come to an end, but the memories certainly haven’t.
A heartfelt thank you to Lutea Africa Safaris, Chris Ouma, Johnstone and every member of the wonderful teams at Matira Bush Camp, Sarova Woodlands and MGM Muthu Country Side for making our Kenyan adventure so special.
This was more than just a holiday.
It was an experience, an adventure and a collection of memories that will stay with us for a very long time.
🇰🇪❤️ ASANTE SANA, KENYA!
Until we meet again… Hakuna Matata!

The best days of my life
Going on a safari with this company was the best decision. The organization was top-notch. I highly recommend our driver, Daniel. He had extensive knowledge of the animals and knew exactly where to go to see as many different species as possible. Even when we saw the smallest animals, he gave us as much time as we needed to take photos and observe them.

Very kind people and nice Safari!
The company is very good!! We loved the food, the cook did it fresh every day. We did a five day Safari which i would recommend!! We saw soo many nice animal and the guide was good in finding them. Our guide Steve knew a lot about the nature and animals and we could ask everything.
One thing which was a little bit confusing is that our order of the itinerary changed during the trip. Sometimes we had some waiting times for people with other itineraries or had to pick them up somewhere. But all in all very well organised, nice tents and very kind people!! I would recommend!

Unforgettable Kilimanjaro Summit & Safari with Kisaza Tours!
We had an incredible experience with Kisaza Tours from start to finish. Steven made the entire planning process completely seamless, and the service throughout our trip was top-tier.
We opted for the 8-day Lemosho route on Kilimanjaro, and our guides, Michael Jackson and Ezekiel, were outstanding. Their focus on pacing and acclimatization made all the difference, ensuring our entire group reached the summit safely. The dedication and support from the whole crew were remarkable.
To top it off, our safari experience with Thomas was fantastic—the cultural visit with the Hadzabe and Datoga tribes was a true highlight.
I highly recommend Kisaza Tours and Steven to anyone planning a trip to Tanzania. You’ll be in the best possible hands!

Excellent family trip experience
Enjoyed a once in a lifetime family trip from India to Kenya (Masai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha, Mombasa) organized by Meshack. He had come recommended from a friend and lived up to his reputation of being great to work with - always available to respond to any small or big question, very flexible with making multiple iterations on the itinerary, and most importantly excellent flawless execution. Overall this experience with Alligator Adventures was a once in a lifetime experience. While this was an expensive trip, the amazing quality of the hotel selection, the safari vehicle and guide, the day-wise planning, etc. all made it seem worth it. Highly recommend to anyone planning.
