Passionate, caring, and hospitable!
From the moment I reviewed the itinerary before departure, I felt well informed and reassured. The details about the destination, accommodations, activities, and meals were clear and thoughtfully presented. I especially appreciated the list of commonly used words and phrases. It made navigating a new place feel far less intimidating.
After 22 hours of travel from the United States, I didn’t think anything could revive me. But the moment we stepped out of the airport, we were met with the warmest welcome I’ve ever experienced. From that very first greeting, Meseno Adventures took exceptional care of us.
Every part of the trip was arranged with intention and care, from the meals and transportation to the lodging and optional excursions. Our guides were not only knowledgeable but also truly personable. They took the time to get to know each of us, setting a tone of warmth and connection. It never felt like they were just leading a tour. They created a space where we felt seen, valued, and comfortable.
They anticipated our needs and graciously responded to every request. Whether it was adjusting the itinerary, accommodating dietary needs, or simply checking in to make sure we were comfortable, their kindness and flexibility made a lasting impression.
Meseno Adventures curated an experience that felt meaningful and deeply personal. I didn’t feel like just a guest. I felt at home!

Highly recommended. Excellent
An 11-day safari in Tanzania. Excellent, friendly, and thoughtful organization, and beautiful places surrounded by nature where we stayed.
Safaris in Arusha National Park, Taranguire, Serengeti, Ngonongoro, Lake Natron, Lake Manyara, the Masai, Hadzabe, and Datoga tribes, trekking to Kilimanjaro...
A true wonder!!
Always accompanied by our guide, Grande Guerrero Makongo, who with his joy, friendliness, and professionalism, along with a wonderful group of Italian companions with whom I shared the trip, made this fun and beautiful adventure a lifelong experience that I will always treasure.
A trip that fills the senses of those who love nature and animals and want to experience something unique.
What I remember most is the red color of the earth, the black of the skin, the blue of the sky, the infinite beauty of the animals in freedom, and the sweetness and friendliness of its people.
A great Safari Adventure team!!
Highly recommended!!

A Masterclass in Wildlife Exploration
Breathtaking Botswana Adventure with Banda – A Masterclass in Wildlife Exploration 🌍
Our journey through Botswana, masterfully orchestrated by Banda and booked via Safaribookings.com, was nothing short of extraordinary. From the vast wetlands of the Okavango Delta to the dry, whispering savannas, each moment was packed with awe and discovery—anchored by Banda’s exceptional knowledge, warm leadership, and unwavering commitment to showcasing the best of southern Africa’s wildlife.
🦁 Dedication to the Big Five and Beyond From the first game drive, Banda’s passion for tracking the iconic Big Five—lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard, and rhino—was undeniable. His tracking skills and intimate understanding of animal behavior made every encounter feel like a revelation, not just a sighting. He taught us how to read the land, from broken branches to distant alarm calls, painting an immersive picture of predator-prey dynamics and wildlife conservation.
🦜 Avian Mastery and Botanical Insights What truly elevated the experience was Banda’s encyclopedic command of southern African birdlife. Whether it was the iridescent flash of a malachite kingfisher or the haunting call of a Pel's fishing owl, Banda would not only identify the species but share fascinating insights about nesting habits, migratory patterns, and ecological roles. Even casual sightings were turned into engaging mini-lessons that had us peering into trees with eager anticipation.
🐛 Insect Enthusiast Extraordinaire Often overlooked on safari, insects became a highlight thanks to Banda’s infectious enthusiasm. From the complex engineering of termite mounds to the iridescence of jewel beetles, he emphasized how these tiny creatures form the backbone of Botswana's ecosystems. One unforgettable night walk involved tracking scorpions with UV light and watching spiders weave their dusk dances—a brilliant detour into the micro-world of nature.
🚐 Seamless Travel Across Botswana Booking through Safaribookings.com was effortless, and Banda ensured every detail—lodging, transport, meals—was handled with care. Transitions from Maun to the Okavango, Chobe, and Moremi felt smooth and thoughtfully paced. Every stop had its charm, from riverside tents echoing with hippo grunts to starlit bush dinners under the acacia trees.
💬 Guiding with Heart and Humor Banda’s sense of humor, patience, and storytelling skills made long drives feel short and hot days bearable. He fostered genuine camaraderie among our group, and his respect for local communities and conservation efforts gave our tour real substance and soul.
In every sense, this wasn’t just a safari—it was a masterclass in understanding and appreciating the wild. Banda’s dedication, depth of knowledge, and sheer love for Botswana’s natural world turned a great itinerary into an unforgettable life experience.
If you’re considering a trip to Botswana, don’t hesitate: book through Safaribookings.com and ask for Banda. You’ll leave not just with incredible photos, but with a deeper understanding of the wild heart of Africa.

Exceptional driving skills and remarkable wildlife-spotting precision
We participated in a 7-day safari across Kenya organized by Leisure Travel Car Hire and Safaris, and we were deeply impressed by the exceptional service provided throughout the journey. Our guide, Ben, demonstrated outstanding professionalism and deep knowledge of the local wildlife. Thanks to his keen eye and expertise, we were fortunate to witness all members of the Big Five, as well as the breathtaking Great Migration river crossing.
Ben's driving skills were excellent, ensuring both safety and comfort on varied terrains. The vehicle was cleaned almost daily and remained spotless and comfortable throughout the trip. In addition to being highly responsive to our needs, Ben also assisted us in capturing stunning, professional-quality wildlife photos, greatly enriching our experience.
Communication was seamless—Ben speaks fluent English and even knows the Chinese names of several animals, which was a thoughtful and impressive touch. We wholeheartedly recommend Leisure Travel Car Hire and Safaris to anyone seeking a professional, reliable, and unforgettable safari experience in Kenya.

Quick, organised and very responsive.
The trip was organised very quick. Once we reached out, the trip was booked within one hour.
The company organised our pick up from our hotel and return too. (Our flight was delayed by 5 hours and the taxi waited for us)
On arrival at Arusha, we were brought to the Arts culture centre and to a local market.
Everything was great.
The company kept checking in everyday with us to make sure everything was OK.

Incredible journey
We were incredibly lucky to have this guide for our African safari to witness the Great Migration. He has an amazing eye for spotting wildlife—almost like he has a built-in radar! Within the limited time we had, he managed to help us find nearly every animal on our dream list. Not only that, he always found the perfect spots for photography, with great lighting and ideal angles. The schedule was well-paced and efficient, without ever feeling rushed. The vehicle was cleaned thoroughly every day, making the rides comfortable and pleasant. We highly recommend this knowledgeable and attentive guide—he truly made our African adventure unforgettable!

Definitely great experience in Kenya and Tanzania !!!
No doubt that Ben and his partners are all great guides. They know where to look for animals and change the routes according different situations. We saw almost everything we want in this trip. Big 5, Samburu special 5, Mara river crossing, cheetah families, lions mating, lions families eating animals.... plus different activities like walking with animals or hunt with tribs. Really wonderful trip. Definitely worthy to try their services.
