We had the most unforgettable safari exploring Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Tarangire.
Each park offered something breathtaking of its own, and being so close to wildlife in its natural home was deeply humbling. We were lucky enough to see just about everything — the Big Five, tens of lions, cheetahs, and so much more. We ended the journey with a few perfect days in Zanzibar at a beautiful lodge that felt like the ideal finish.
What truly set this trip apart was the personal touch. Kelvin from Nihapa made sure we felt welcomed, cared for, and completely at ease from the very first moment. During this trip was a major birthday celebration as well as our wedding anniversary. Kelvin added a special touch to the safari byincluding presents, stickers in the vehicle and a special dinner to make the memories last a lifetime. He met us personally on day one, walked us through every detail, and crafted an itinerary that fit us perfectly — including incredible lodges we absolutely loved. He even came to meet us again in Arusha before our flight to Zanzibar, which meant a lot.
Our guide — also Kelvin — spent five days with us and made every moment fun, safe, and insightful. His knowledge, patience, and skill behind the wheel added so much richness to the experience.
There are many safari companies out there, but Nihapa stands out for its warmth, authenticity, and genuine care. If you’re looking for a personalized, heartfelt, and truly memorable safari, you can trust them to create something special.

A highly reliable and professional tour operator that delivers personalised service, thoughtful plan
We recently visited Kenya with Osnet Tours, and the entire experience was fantastic from start to finish.
I was initially in touch with Geoff from the UK, and I was very impressed by how responsive, helpful, and accommodating he was throughout the planning process. I made several revisions to our itinerary, and he patiently took in all our requests and arranged everything perfectly. I had also mentioned that it was my daughter’s birthday during the trip, and Geoff organized a wonderful surprise cake celebration for her with Ashnil. such a thoughtful gesture that made the day extra special.
He also recommended an excellent camp in Masai Mara and booked us into a beautiful beach resort in Diani, both of which we absolutely loved.
John, our driver in Masai Mara, was equally amazing - very engaging, punctual, knowledgeable, and accommodating. He made sure we had the best possible safari experience and took great care in showing us the animals while managing the schedule very well.
Overall, Osnet Tours are incredibly reliable, professional, and genuinely lovely people who provide fantastic service. I would highly recommend them to anyone planning a trip to Kenya!

Very quick responses and provided everything we asked for
We knew we wanted to do Victoria Falls (both sides) and Chobe National Park (Botswana). There was no package tour that I could find that would do everything we wanted. Many emails later, we finally had the holiday which was perfect for us. They organised pick up from airport (Johannesburg to Victoria Falls), allowed us to book our own accommodation at Victoria Falls, they booked our tour to Vic Falls (Both sides), tour of a village in Zambia, boma dinner, Safari in Zimbabwe, visit to see Lions, River sunset cruise, Helicopter ride, transfer from Zimbabwe, to Botswana, Accommodation in Botswana (which was a 10/10), 2 Safari's, one boat river cruise to see more wildlife, Day trip to Namibia to see a local town, transfer back to airport. All very reasonably priced, just for us, apart from the safari's which of course were other people. Our flight was cancelled and they simply moved our transfer from Botswana to Victoria Falls International Airport by 24 hours without any hassle at all. If we return to Africa, I will definitely be contacting Jonathan again, he was a 10/10.

Very serious, trustworthy and easy to communicate with. Amazing guide!
SHADDY — we want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the most amazing safari we had. We enjoyed every second and never expected it to be so surreal. Balu is very trustworthy and they replied to our questions in the beginning much faster than all other companies — that’s also the reason why we booked with them. 🐅
As for our guide Shaddy, I’ve never met a more professional, passionate, well-hearted, committed and better guide in my life. He took us so close to the animals and knew exactly where to find all animals even when other groups had given up. 🙏
I’ll recommend you Shaddy and Balu Travel for all Safaris in Kenya over and over again!
Asante sana! 🇰🇪
Recommendable
Traveling with Wildscope Adventures Limited was truly a wonderful experience. From the first inquiry to the end of the trip, the team made everything easy and well organized. Their communication, flexibility, and dedication to creating memorable experiences really stood out. Every moment felt carefully planned and enjoyable. I would definitely recommend them and look forward to traveling with them again.

11/10 - fantastic safari experience!!
Had the most amazing experience on my 3-day safari with Charles, our guide and driver! Charles was super knowledgeable about all the animals and the Maasai Mara itself, he was a great driver and in only 2 days we saw 3 of the big 5 (lions, elephants and buffalo, plus a cheetah!) Accommodation in wild nest was super cozy and the staff were very friendly and accommodating. Food was great. Overall I would highly recommend Axis Africa safaris to anyone looking for great value for money, and guaranteed safari sightings! I was nervous as a solo traveler but the group I was with were super welcoming and friendly and Charles went out of his way to make sure everything went really smoothly. I hope to do another safari in future!

The Guide Behind the Safari of a Lifetime
We were incredibly lucky to have Luther as our guide during our safari, and we honestly could not have asked for a better experience.
From the very first moment we met him, he was friendly, welcoming, polite and professional. He immediately made us feel comfortable and throughout the entire safari he constantly looked after everyone in the group. He was always thinking ahead, making sure we were comfortable, had everything we needed and were enjoying ourselves.
One thing we especially appreciated was his communication. Luther always kept us informed about what was happening and what to expect next. Whether he was collecting park permits, planning the next game drive, driving to a new destination or organising lunch, he continuously explained the plan and what we were going to do. This made us feel relaxed, informed and completely taken care of throughout the safari.
His knowledge of the wildlife, nature and parks was outstanding. He shared fascinating information about animal behaviour and answered every question with patience and enthusiasm. We learned so much from him during our journey.
What truly impressed us was his incredible ability to spot animals. Thanks to Luther we experienced sightings that we never imagined we would see. During our safari we saw all of the Big Five, including a leopard and the rare black rhino. We also saw a cheetah with her cubs, a cheetah that had just caught a newborn gazelle, lions, elephants, buffalo, giraffes, zebras, countless antelopes and many beautiful bird species.
Some moments were simply unforgettable. We had a male lion and a lioness right next to our jeep, watched elephants feeding only a few metres away and witnessed incredible wildlife encounters throughout the trip. Many of these sightings would never have happened without Luther's sharp eyes, experience and dedication.
Beyond being an excellent guide, Luther is simply a wonderful person. He is kind, respectful, patient, funny and genuinely passionate about his work. It never felt like he was just doing a job. It felt like he truly wanted us to have the best safari experience possible.
We would also like to compliment Suricata Safaris on the accommodations. Every single stay exceeded our expectations. Suricata Boma Lodge was fantastic, with beautiful facilities, excellent food and incredibly friendly staff. The Tanzania Bush Camp experience was absolutely magical. Sleeping in the bush while still enjoying so much comfort was something we will never forget. Our final accommodation was equally impressive and provided the perfect ending to an unforgettable safari.
What surprised us most was how much comfort and service we received throughout the entire trip. The staff at every accommodation were exceptionally friendly and welcoming. You truly receive far more than you expect.
A special thank you as well for helping make Camilo's birthday such an unforgettable day. Celebrating a birthday surrounded by Tanzania's wildlife was already special, but Luther helped make it even more memorable.
If you are lucky enough to have Luther as your guide, you are in the very best hands. He is a true professional, an exceptional wildlife guide and a wonderful ambassador for Tanzania.
Thank you, Luther, for the memories, the knowledge, the laughs and the adventure. We will never forget this safari.
Greetings from Cristina and Camilo

More Than Just a Guide - A Brother and Family Friend
I cannot recommend Joseph and the team at White Plains Safari enough…By the end of the trip - he was truly a brother and family friend.
I know there are lots of options for a safari guide - Joseph and the team are “head and shoulders” above the rest - you would do well to choose White Plains for your next Kenyan adventure.

Beautiful experience!
What a wonderful experience, my first safari! The organization was perfect, our driver, Mr. David Mukami, was always punctual and helpful! The packed lunch was delicious and plentiful, a special experience!

Professial and genuine, giving the best experience
Booking with Serengeti Cheers was the start of a wonderful adventure. Davies impressed me from the beginning with prompt response, within one hour I had 2 customised Itinerary options.
He was personable and genuinely cared about you and your experience. Time and time again, I gave Davies requests for my perfect itinerary, he never complained or said no, he always found a way. He was respectful of my budget, gave quick updates and was honest. The accommodation and safari guide he organised were perfect!!!
He was there with his wife to personally pick me up and drop me off. When there was any issue, I did not feel worried because I knew that Davies was only 1 message away. When my flight was delayed, he did not want to leave until he was assured that I had a flight home.
You will see that this business is more then a job to Davies, he shows you hospitality of family. His wife was so sweet, she prepared traditional food for me after mentioning that I wanted to try the local food (yum!) And she even brought Serengeti Cheers merch! A safari hat 😆
Serengeti Cheers opened my heart and eyes to the beauty of Tanzania, I came for safari experience by left with an extended family.
Asante sana 🫶
