it's fine
We were lucky, for 1 day we saw almost all the animals that live in the park. Excellent guide Bob - the most daring of the guides, drove us to the car to the lioness almost immediately. We arrived at 9 am, at 13.00 we had lunch, and after that we continued the safari until 4pm. Lunch cost $ 5 per person. The road from Dar-es-Salam was very dangerous, a lot of wagons with cargoes, our driver many times went to a meeting and miraculously we managed to avoid a collision. This part of the safari - very spoiled the general impression. On the way back, the gasoline ran out and the driver did not have any money with him, he asked us to throw off him for gasoline $ 5. Nobody returned them, of course.

Great experience of Uganda with an amazing driver
The pre-Safari communication with Simba was okay. We just expected a more active approach from Simba to send us guidelines and practical information since it was our first Safari. However we didn't receive such a practical info automatically. We had to send every time our questions to get answers. So a suggestion would be sending a standard practical info file to tourists so that they can organize their trips properly.
Our best part of our Safari service was our driver. Xavier was a great driver and guide. He was very punctual, responsible and expert in his job. We had an amazing experience of Safari with him, he took us everywhere and explained everything to us. Meanwhile we also had many interesting talks during the long Safari driving with him. We were very happy having him as our guide and I strongly recommend him.
The lodges booed by Simba were very nice too. My two favorite ones were gorilla mist and Forest camp. Gorilla mist was an incredible experience. The last lodge at lake bunanoyei, however, was not very proper. It was not very clean and comfortable.
In general we had a good experience with Simba and we are happy with our experience :)

A great well organized and managed safari
Mwema organized a nine day safari in Kenya and Tanzania. Various lakes and game reserves. The driver/guides were extremely well informed,very responsible and courteous. They took us to the exact places where the wild animals were,including all the big five, and a lion kill etc.We are totally satisfied with them. The camps are surprisingly very modern and guarded by Masai quite safe. In one camp I had a hippo walking one meter near my head in the night. Non-vegetarian food was very good, vegetarian could be better. All in all an absolutely wonderful experience.

KENYA AGAIN !!
I've been so lucky, in selecting the tour agent "Kenya Walking", because they have proposed a well scheduled overall program, acceptable prices, good lodges and by chance, I got a very well experienced driver/guide, Mr. Paulo, who has made my trip to Kenya, really great !!
After this first visit to Kenya, I have now the intention to organize a future trip to Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda and spend all the time in visiting the national parks, because the scenery and wildlife, are so thrilling.
I only have an advice to the future tourists : if you will be going to visit the National Museum in Nairobi (very interesting), please do not leave ANY money or valuables in your bag, once you will be requested to leave it under the Museum custody, at the entrance !! Unfortunately I've experienced a bitter surprise.....
KENYA AGAIN .....

great job accommodating a very demanding group in a short amount of time!
Safari tour was great with a nice spacious jeep. Had an amazing time at Ngorongoro crater, waterfall, Mt Kilimanjaro observation and view point, then a great tour of a coffee plantation at the Chaga caves! A little uncomfortable/ cramped in a different vehicle for in between transportion with a big group but doable. A little difficult with the communication with language barriers and itinerary but they did a great job overall and really tried to accommodate everyones needs.

it was good experiance, we received what was promissed with few remarks of needed improvements
the comunicattion was good and effective, tour guides was good, flexible and followed our (many) requests
the food could had been much better (we should had at least the option to pay a little extra)
since it was a camping trip all the way the issue of charging phones and cammera is crussial and the solution you provided in car could be good but it wasnt stable and many time charging wasnt possible

Very good value for money
Did the 4 nights / 5 days Manyara / Serengeti / Ngorogoro Crater trip. Excellent value for money including the 2 nights stay in the hotel before and after. Very helpful in assisting in buying bus tickets when we arrived for our departure. Would recommend as very good budget safari. Thank you very much Geoffrey and guys. Happy customers! :-)

A 6-day Trek on the Mount Kenya, by Sirimon route and Chogoria out
We were tree people in our group (57, 57 and 68 year-old). We have a very beautiful 6-day trek ont the Mount Kenya, through Mackinder valley and Chogoria route. But the trek was difficult due to acclimatization to the high altitude and it was physically demanding.
It is important to underline the crucial role of the discussion with the office before the trek which permitted a good choice of the good route.
Day 1 from Nairobi to Sirimon gate and then to Old Mosses camp (3300 m) ; Day 2 from Old Mosses camp to Shipton camp (4200 m) ; Day 3 : full day acclimatization at Shipton camp (4200 m) ; Day 4 : from Shipton camp to Austrian hut (4700 m) ; Day 5 : from Austrian hut to Lenana point, then going down to Chogoria bandas (3050 m) ; Day 6 : from Chogoria bandas to Chogoria town (in car) then to Nairobi. Departure at 11.50 pm to France.
Moreover, the all team (guide, cook, porters) was extremely performant and thoughtful in all circumstances.
Please, accept our gratitude.
