My first time I saw wild elephants, rhino & hyena!
I was in Etosha National Park in April 2017. It is end of the rainy season so there is enough water for the animals in the nature. That is maybe the reason why we had not so much good luck at waterholes. We had best sightings in the East around Fort Namutoni. It was the first time I saw elephants, a rhino and a hyena! Most of them in the afternoon, just before sunset.
On the way from East to West we saw a few antilopes, ostrich and some other birds and of course breath taking landscapes. But I wished we would have stayed in the East around Namutoni. Also at the waterhole at Okaukuejo Camp in the West we had no luck.
My recommendation would be coming in the dry season later the year (Aug-Oct) or staying a few days in the East instead of going to the West. But, this is safari, you never know what happens!! Maybe we had just bad luck.
The camp sites were all clean and there are shops and restaurants. It is possible there to book extra game drives / night drives. I recommend to bring your own water / don’t drink tap water (like I did in the rest of Namibia, without any issues).

Its was a very amazing safari!
It was a perfect safari, we saw the Big Five minus the rhinoceros. Samy was the best driver, he helped the other drivers when the car was stuck in the mud. I have had two great days and I have seen many animals. The road is long from Nairobi to the park, but it's fun. Asante sana :)

On time, on budget, on the bird!
Mwangi wa Gitu, from ConQuest Adventures sacrificed his Christmas weekend to guide my wife and I around the south shore of Lake Elementiata. Mwangi was working his home patch: he knew every song, every call, every flash of color. That end of the lake is lovely, surrounded by good acacia woodland, less developed and less visited than the more well-known Rift Valley soda lakes. We enjoyed both flamingos (dozens, not thousands) and large groups of white pelicans doing their cooperative feeding maneuvers. Life birds for me included Curlew Sandpiper, Purple Grenadier, Little Rock Thrush, Red Fronted Barbet, and Coqui Francolin.
Mwangi also shared great insights into the complex local situation with property owners, cattle herders, and resorts all competing for influence over the few enforcers of conservation regs. He was a delightful companion, an expert naturalist, punctual, and affordable. We look forward to our next outing with him.

Good company to work with
Communication was excellent
Van needs a bit of maintenance
Driver/guide Bonifacio was excellent always trying his best to please
Unfortunately April is not the best month for a safari as the grass is very long and difficult to see the animals but Bonifacio managed to find them

Simba Africa Expeditions delivered as advertised - a clean, safe, enjoyable and memorable experience
We traveled on the two-day chimpanzee tracking tour in Rwanda. Simba Africa Expeditions was very responsive, communicated clearly and effectively, and were very helpful in ensuring that our booking was complete. The accommodations near Nyungwe were absolutely wonderful on the top of a hill with great views and good food, although the timing of the tour didn't allow us much opportunity to enjoy the hotel. The chimpanzee tracking was very fun and the scenery was beautiful. The food stop for lunch on both days was not very good. This is the area where they can improve the most.

Amazing time in Masai Mara
I was a bit late to prepare a safari. I contacted Jane from Kenan Travel Tour and she was really reactive and helping. Everything was smooth in the organization. I had a wonderful time with the group I was in and we saw a lot of animals! Incredible!

Transfers on time, evening dinners : good menus, safari : one long day but interesting
Regarding the transfers, the buses were on time, the drivers were pleasant. The French Speaking Guide Karim and the Photograph Geoffrey were available and excellent.
The choice of the outside restaurants was good, although I would have liked to get the full programme with menu details before the arrival.
The safari day was very long but the clients were happy to have got this experience.
Globally, the clients were satisfied.

Fun place to visit
Sceneries are so pretty, there are lots to see in Cape Town area. Kruger Park is awesome! Really good place to test your eye vision (how easy can you spot animals) and your knowledge of animals! Recommend to visit both places.

Amazing trip with a perfect guide
We were doing a four days safari. It was a perfect trip. Really good organized the days. We could see the big five thanks to our guide who tried to show us the best parts of the Masai Mara national reserve. If you go to kenia don't doubt on doing it! And if you have the opportunity you can ask for Tom! 100% recommendable!!!
