Review about Lake Nakuru National Park by JamesD
Very nice, but lake is high, so many dead trees and few flamingoes. Saw quite a few other birds though, as well as a lot of animals. Nice park.

Great safari to Masai Mara
I was quite confused about the array of safaris available to the Masai Mara. John answered my numerous questions, and the price compared favourably with other group safaris, so I chose CKC Tours. I joined a 3-day group safari in May.
Our driver, Kikitu, was always cheerful and nice and great at finding wildlife, and generally informing us about the wildlife, history of the places we travelled through etc.
The Masai Mara National Reserve is beautiful. We saw the Big Five all before 10 a.m. on the first full day there! And then many more animals. It's a long and bumpy journey from Nairobi, but well worth it. And the sunrise makes it worthwhile getting up early!

Excellent, I would use this company again.
We had a great time with this company. Our guide, China, was the best part about it. He was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. He made sure that we saw as many animals as possible, and even would call other guides in the area to make sure we got the best experience. The food and our cook were also amazing! He adjusted the menu to our friend who is vegetarian, and made her a few dishes just for her when we had meat for a meal.
My only issue with the experience, was that when we had first signed up for a car, we were told that we would be in a private car for the 4 of us traveling together. When we got to Arusha and were picked up, we were told that we were picking up 2 other people. Luckily the couple turned out to be great and were a great addition to our trip, but having been promised a private car, and then having to share was a little frustrating.
Overall I would travel with this company again. They were helpful in the sign up process, excellent communication the whole time, and the safari was amazing.

My husband and I had a very special bush experience in Botswana with Phillimon and his team
We received very good service from Phillimon from our first inquiries about doing a trip with Walking Stick Safaris. He was informative and answered our questions and dealt with our expectations clearly and succinctly. My husband is 76 and we were never made to feel that he was 'too old' for a bush camping trip. We had a very good week from start to finish. The 2 nights Mokoro trip, the guides, and the camping experience worked well for us. We then spent 2 nights in Moremi and 2 nights in the Kwai area. The plan worked well as there was a lot of variety in both terrain and daily routine. Both areas have their plus points. Philemon was relentless in his pursuit of finding good animal sightings for us. The backup staff of cooks and helpers made sure we were well fed and looked after. Running a bush mobile safari requires a certain type of all-round person and Phillimon certainly has all the qualities that this takes. We will go on another trip with this company. We feel that we certainly got our money's worth

Review about Tarangire National Park by Ishani
Amazing to see large families of elephants

Great trip!
Definitely a great trip, and I would do it again in a heartbeat. The only reason I haven’t rated as a 5 is because of some of the lack of communication involved. I hadn’t realized that everyone in my group would not be staying in the same hotel with me, or even staying the same length of time at the park. This led to some coordination challenges, but all in all this never detracted from my experience. I also never revived an itinerary of my trip, so think that improved communication may be an area for some improvement.
All in all though the drivers were great, and always super accommodating (even changing a flat tire in less then 10 minutes!). Karibu was also extremely responsive to my messages at all times of day, which I really appreciated. Definitely the best value for its reasonable price compared to other operators.

Great experience with reasonable price
First of all, Karibu Safari’s email response was very quick, so it was very helpful for us. And the driver (Raymond) was very nice and tried his best to show us Big 5 and other animals in Masai Mara national park. So we really appreciate that.
However, as for the schedule, they told us in email that we will visit Masai village at evening of second day then visit Masai Mara national park again on our last day ( third day of the trip) initially. But somehow schedule was changed and we visited Masai village on our last day, so we didn’t have time to go back to Masai Mara national park. We expected to do game drive for three days, so it was a little bit disappointing.... also, since we were on 3days trip and other people were on 2days trip, we had to switch our bus on our second day. It was okay but nothing was explained before so we were a bit confused at that time. We think that schedule needs to be explained beforehand...
Other than that, we really enjoyed our first Safari experience. Thank you very much for giving this great experience.

My experience with Afriqueen Adventure was amazing and one of a kind.
The commication with the Tourist company is very effective and the feedback was instantaneous. The service is very good in term of logistics and travel plans. The safari was well planned and enjoyable. I got the value for Money. If travel to Kenya again I will definitely going to use it again
