Amazing safari with Kush! He went above and beyond to make our experience unforgettable!
What a fantastic safari! We enjoyed every moment of these incredible days in Kenya, and having Kush as our guide made all the difference.
He really put in the effort to find the animals and make sure we could see them up close. We especially appreciated how flexible and attentive he was, always adapting to what we wanted to see and taking the time to explain interesting things about the animals and their behaviour.
Seeing four of the Big Five on our very first day was a wonderful surprise, but the whole safari was full of memorable experiences.
A huge thank you to Kush for making this trip so special. We would happily recommend him to anyone visiting Kenya!

The best guide ever
The operator was so educative. I learnt new things about the wild life and that made me like the animals even more

An amazing safari experience with a friendly and dedicated guide!
We had an amazing safari experience with Kibo Mawenzi Safaris! Everything was well organized, and we truly enjoyed every moment of our trip.
Our guide was extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about his work. He always took the time to explain everything clearly, shared interesting facts about the animals and their behavior, and made sure we felt comfortable throughout the entire safari.
What we appreciated the most was how much effort he put into making sure we could see as many animals as possible. He was always attentive, patient, and determined to give us the best possible experience.
It was an unforgettable adventure for our whole family, and we are very grateful for the wonderful memories. We would definitely recommend Kibo Mawenzi Safaris to anyone looking for an authentic and memorable safari experience in Tanzania!

Altezza is a professionally run tour operator that is organized and safe, would very much recommend.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Altezza to anyone looking for a tour/hike that they provide. Their communication was timely and on point. Any questions we had were answered promptly and completely. The 7 day hike duration gave us plenty of time to acclimatize to the altitude. The staff was friendly and helpful and we always felt safe when hiking with them. Since we hiked during the end of dry season we had some rain but that also meant the mountain wasn't crowded. Cost was within expectation for the service provided. Not the cheapest but definitely worth the money for the services provided.

Breathtaking
We booked a 5-day safari tour (Kruger NP + Panorama) with Khalanga Safaris. Even before the trip, our communication with Thamia was excellent. She answered all my questions (and I had a lot of them) extremely quickly and very kindly. Thamia also handled our special requests quickly and without any issues. Thank you so much Thamia,for planning such a perfect trip for us
Then, just as we’d hoped, Shoes joined us on our tour. I’d already read many great reviews about Shoes beforehand, but he exceeded all expectations: friendly, helpful, always there for us, and always attentive to our needs. Thank you so much, Shoes—you made our trip truly special.
The Rukiya Safari Camp that was booked for us (and especially the River House) was also perfect for us, even though the drive to Kruger Park was a bit longer—we enjoyed every moment of the trip
We were very sad when our time with Khalaga Safaris came to an end, and if we ever come back, it will only be with Khalaga Safaris.

Excellent service and wonderful safari!
The safari in Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara was epic! The game drivers Amos, Felix and Robert were fantastic and did everything to make the safari wonderful. The support and booking with Nicole was handled perfectly and everything went really smooth!

Where do I start....
We initially booked with Antonio Safaris for a six-day safari from Nairobi, from 26th to 31st October, only a couple of weeks before travelling. We had received several quotes, but with Edna’s support, Antonio Safaris provided us with a very competitive package while also giving us the flexibility we needed.
From our first enquiry, Edna was extremely attentive, helpful and communicative. She made sure we had everything we needed before booking, kept in touch in the lead-up to the safari, and even checked in with us while we were away to make sure everything was going well.
On the morning of our safari, we were met by Tony, the owner, who had taken the time to personally welcome us and thank us for choosing Antonio Safaris. This was a really nice touch and immediately made the experience feel personal.
We were then introduced to Evans, our guide for the six days, and honestly, we could not have asked for anyone better. Evans is an incredibly warm, friendly and welcoming person who put us at ease from the moment we met him. Throughout the trip, he shared his extensive knowledge of Kenya, the places we travelled through, the national parks and, of course, the wildlife. His passion and enjoyment for what he does were obvious throughout the entire safari.
Evans was also an exceptional wildlife spotter, he seemed to know exactly where to look and would always make an effort to position the vehicle perfectly so that we could see the animals clearly and get the best possible photos. He also took some fantastic photos with his own camera and shared them with us at the end of the trip. The only downside was that the safari had to come to an end and we had to say goodbye!
Following Edna’s recommendation, we stayed at Sarova Mara Game Camp while visiting the Masai Mara. It was an excellent choice. The camp provided a fantastic, authentic safari experience right in the heart of the Masai Mara, meaning we could maximise our time inside the reserve and experience both sunrise and sunset over the savanna. The accommodation was spacious and comfortable, the staff could not do enough for us, and the choice and quality of food at every meal were excellent. Our only regret was that we couldn't stay longer.
We also spent a couple of nights at Lake Naivasha Sopa Resort, and this place genuinely had the wow factor. The accommodation consists of beautiful, spacious bungalows surrounded by wildlife. We had giraffes, zebras, waterbucks and monkeys roaming directly outside our windows, and at night we could even see hippos grazing on the grounds.
It felt like having the experience of a giraffe hotel at a fraction of the cost. I honestly don't think I have ever stayed anywhere quite like it. Once again, the staff were fantastic and the food was excellent.
During the trip, we also did several activities that I would highly recommend, including cycling through Hell's Gate National Park, taking a boat trip on Lake Naivasha to see the hippos, and walking amongst giraffes and other wildlife on the island. These experiences added another dimension to the safari and made the whole trip even more memorable.
I would highly recommend Antonio Safaris to anyone considering a safari in Kenya. From the initial planning with Edna, to the personal welcome from Tony, to the incredible six days we spent with Evans, the service was outstanding from start to finish.
You can genuinely tell that the team loves what they do and cares about giving their guests the best possible experience.
And if you are lucky enough to have Evans as your guide, you are in exceptionally good hands. We genuinely couldn't recommend him highly enough!

Dream safari trip
The actual safari itself was brilliant, the lodges we stayed in were excellent, the food was always nice. Really good value for money, we did 5 day mid range safari and it was perfect amount of time. Damian our driver was also great, very knowledgeable and friendly and we felt well looked after.
Only negative was I had asked company for final itinerary which they didn’t send and the order of our safari and a lodge we stayed at had changed. We were with a group going 4 day and then joined a different group and driver for our fifth day. But the company was easily contactable and everything was booked for us.

Easy to work with.
I went on an 8-day mid-range private (solo) Kenya-Tanzania safari in October. I chose Ejas because their quote fit my budget and preferred itinerary best. Arrangements were all done online and communication was easy via e-mail and WhatsApp. The trip went very well. Though in hindsight, I should have spent less time in northern Serengeti (October was at the tail end of the season for Mara river crossing) and more in central Serengeti. I should have also skipped the Ngorongoro crater since I saw a lot already in Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara and the Serengeti. If I started in Arusha, it would have made more sense to visit the crater. I had two knowledgeable guides, one in Kenya and another in Tanzania, who ensured I had a great time. I felt safe and well taken cared of. Hand-off was at the border. The vehicles were as pictured in the brochure and had provisions for charging electronics. The roads were rough and we had a flat tire four times but we had spare tires and delay was minimal. The accommodations were comfortable. Laundry service was available for a fee (I paid USD 20 for 2 pants, 1 shorts, and 3 shirts in a camp). Food was good, even excellent in some. Overall, I had a wonderful experience. Thank you, Ejas.
