Exceptional Safari experience with Serengity Clarity
Our 5-day safari with Serengeti Clarity has been nothing short of extraordinary. What started as a dream vacation quickly turned into one of the most memorable and life-changing experiences of our lives.
A huge part of this was thanks to our incredible guide and driver, Kelvin. His knowledge of the wildlife, ecosystem, and animal behavior is truly impressive, but what amazed us even more was his ability to spot wildlife. His eyes seem to catch things that most people would completely miss!
What made this safari special was not just the number of animals we saw, but the fact that we witnessed them in action. We had front-row seats to the Great Wildebeest Migration as thousands of animals crossed the Mara River. We watched a fresh lioness kill, spotted a leopard lounging on a tree branch, saw three cheetahs actively hunting, observed elephant herds grazing peacefully, enjoyed watching lion cubs play together, and even witnessed a majestic male lion yawning just a few feet from our vehicle. These were not distant sightings through binoculars; they were intimate, unforgettable wildlife encounters that felt almost surreal.
Equally impressive were the accommodations selected by Serengeti Clarity. After long 12-hour days driving through heat and dust, we were welcomed each evening into beautiful lodges and camps with private bathrooms, hot showers, delicious dinner buffets, campfires, and comfortable beds. Every property offered the perfect combination of comfort, hospitality, and authenticity, allowing us to relax and recharge before the next day's adventure.
From the wildlife experiences to the accommodations and overall organization, every aspect of this trip exceeded our expectations. This wasn't just a once-in-a-lifetime safari, it was a truly life-changing experience.
We highly recommend Serengeti Clarity to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania. And if you're lucky enough to get Kelvin as your guide, you're in for an unforgettable adventure.
Thank you, Serengeti Clarity and Kelvin, for giving us memories that will last forever!

Alex was beyond incredible!!
Alex was our driver for our trip and he was perfect for our group! We were two families with a total of 3 teenagers and Alex was a hit with everyone. He was so knowledgeable about the area the animal where to go and answered all of our crazy questions, including personal ones. He was constantly on the phone talking with other drivers to make sure that we were able to see anything and everything possible. So kind and such a pleasure to be around. After our Safari, we went on for another week to a different destination and literally talked about Alex every single day. Would have been the same without him! Thank you Alex!!!

A Dream Safari Made Possible by Lorna Safaris
I am an ambulatory wheelchair user with multiple chronic illnesses that affect my pain and fatigue, so finding a safari that could accommodate my needs was incredibly important to me. I honestly wasn't sure I could do a safari in Kenya at all. Lorna Safaris not only made it possible — they made it an experience I will never forget!
We traveled with a large group of 16 people, including six wheelchair users with varying needs. Most of the wheelchair users brought mobility scooters or electric wheelchairs, while I traveled with my manual wheelchair. From the moment Judy met us at the airport with a huge smile, her kindness, generosity and willingness to help never diminished throughout our 12-day safari.
Judy and her team — Don, Jimmy, Anthony, Teddy and Lillian — worked incredibly hard to make the trip accessible and enjoyable for everyone. Accessibility wasn't an afterthought. Judy had carefully considered our accommodations, transportation, and appropriate activities. Their safari vehicles included lift seats and ramps, making it much easier for wheelchair users to get in and out.
The wildlife itself was absolutely incredible! We visited the Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli, and each destination offered something completely different. We saw lions, including males, females and cubs, elephants, zebras, giraffes, rhinos, hippos, buffalo, wildebeest, warthogs, flamingos and so many other animals and birds that I couldn't possibly list them all. And we often got incredibly close to the animals.
Pictures don't do it justice. Experiencing wildlife this close in its natural habitat is something we will never forget!
But the person who made the safari possible for me personally was our guide, Don. Judy paired my husband and me with Don, who has nearly 20 years of guiding experience. Because my fatigue meant I couldn't manage the same length of game drives as everyone else, Don became our private driver and adapted the schedule around what I could handle.
I initially worried that I would miss out because I couldn't participate in every game drive. Instead, I saw **every animal the rest of the group saw**!! I never felt like I was missing out, and that meant more to me than I can really put into words. 💙
Don was incredibly knowledgeable, genuinely kind, funny, patient and helpful. He seemed to know exactly where to look and what to watch for, and his knowledge made every game drive even more fascinating. I felt completely comfortable telling him when I needed to rest, and there was never any pressure to push beyond what my body could handle.
We also arrived in Kenya three days before the safari, which gave me time to adjust to the time change and environment before the tour began. I would highly recommend doing this if you have a chronic illness or fatigue-related disability.
Our experience with Judy didn't end when the safari did, either. She arranged transportation and accommodations for my husband and me to spend a week at the beach in Malindi afterward. It was the perfect, relaxing way to finish our Kenya adventure.
What impressed me most about Lorna Safaris wasn't simply that they had accessible equipment. It was the **genuine care and willingness to problem-solve** whenever something unexpected came up. Judy and her team understand that accessibility is different for every traveler, and they worked with us rather than expecting everyone to fit into the same mold.
As someone who travels with a wheelchair and chronic illness, I know how difficult it can be to find companies that truly understand accessible travel. I would wholeheartedly recommend Lorna Safaris to wheelchair users, travelers with disabilities, and anyone whose chronic illness affects their ability to travel.
If you have ever wondered whether a Kenya safari is possible for you, I would encourage you to talk to Judy! She and her team made something I wasn't sure I could do into one of the most incredible travel experiences of my life.
**Thank you, Judy, Don, Jimmy, Anthony, Teddy and Lillian, for helping make this dream a reality.** 💙

Exceptional Accessible Safari Operator
As an accessible travel blogger and tour organizer, finding a safari company that could genuinely accommodate a large group with varying accessibility needs was one of the biggest challenges when planning our Kenya safari. From my very first contact with Judy at Lorna Safaris, I knew we had found the right partner.
Judy was incredibly easy to communicate with throughout the entire process — from creating and adjusting our itinerary and arranging payments to answering countless questions before we ever arrived in Kenya. She was exceptionally responsive and went far beyond what I expected from a safari operator.
One of the things that impressed me most was Judy's commitment to understanding accessibility firsthand. Before our group arrived, she personally visited the safari lodges, took photos and videos for me to review and use in our trip planning, and worked with the properties to ensure accessibility was a priority. She didn't simply rely on what hotels told her was "accessible" — she went and saw it for herself.
Our group ultimately grew to 16 participants, including six wheelchair users with varying needs. Lorna Safaris provided four safari vehicles equipped with accessible lifting chairs and ramps, allowing participants with different mobility levels to safely and comfortably access the jeeps.
And when unexpected accessibility challenges arose, Judy and her team didn't simply say, "That's not possible." They found solutions. At one lodge, for example, the door frame was actually adjusted to make it easier for a wheelchair user to enter her safari tent. The team worked directly with lodge staff to address accessibility issues as they arose, including making improvements during our stay.
Judy, Jimmy, Don, Anthony and Teddy were absolutely exceptional throughout the safari. They assisted wheelchair users when needed, helped with transfers and equipment, answered endless questions and shared an incredible amount of knowledge about the wildlife we encountered.
Judy also put a great deal of thought into selecting our accommodations. The lodges and hotels were chosen because they could provide multiple accessible rooms, had helpful and welcoming staff, were exceptionally clean and offered comfortable facilities and a variety of food options.
Organizing an accessible safari for a large group is no small undertaking, but Lorna Safaris approached every challenge with patience, flexibility and genuine care. From the months of preparation before our arrival to the final days of the safari — and even the follow-up afterward — Judy and her team worked tirelessly to make this experience possible.
For anyone looking for a safari company that genuinely understands accessible travel, I would highly recommend Lorna Safaris. Accessible safari operators are difficult to find, and those that truly understand the difference between simply having an "accessible" room and actually creating an accessible travel experience are even harder to find. Lorna Safaris exceeded our expectations.

Perfect, flexible, and accommodating Safari Operator
Just wrapped up an amazing multi-day safari with Lorna Safaris through Amboseli, Lake Nakuru, and the Masai Mara.
The Masai Mara was hands down the absolute best part of the whole trip—the wildlife viewing there was completely mind-blowing! 🦒🦁Planning was a breeze thanks to Judy, who set up a face-to-face Zoom call with a local guide before we even left home.
Travelling with multiple wheelchair users can be stressful, but these guys are pros at accessible travel. They provided an awesome safari vehicle with a lift and ramp, and they made sure all our hotels fit everyone's needs perfectly.
Our drivers were so kind, knowledgeable, and super flexible with our routes. We did morning and afternoon drives with a solid rest break in the middle of the day. Shout out to Don, Anthony, Teddy, and Jimmy... you were the best I've ever encountered.
This slower pace was perfect because we never got burnt out.
Seriously, look no further than Lorna Safaris if you're heading to Kenya! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Flawless, Fully Accessible 12-Day Kenya Safari with Lorna Safaris!
Lorna Safaris completely blew us away! They went above and beyond for our group from start to finish during our incredible 12-day safari through the Masai Mara, Amboseli, and Lake Nakuru.
Planning a trip to Kenya can bring some pre-arrival jitters, but Judy was fantastic. She organized a face-to-face Zoom meeting with a local guide before our departure to walk us through every detail. Once we arrived, a pre-trip meeting with our drivers cleared up any remaining last-minute questions.
What truly set them apart was their exceptional attention to accessibility. We had multiple wheelchair users in our group, and Lorna Safaris provided a fantastic accessible vehicle equipped with both a lift and a ramp. They did a wonderful job catering to everyone's individual needs, and the hotels they selected were excellent.
Our drivers were knowledgeable, kind, soft-spoken, and highly flexible with their routes. We did a slower-paced tour with morning and afternoon game drives, leaving time to rest in the midday heat. This pacing was perfect—we never felt overwhelmed, yet we still packed in a ton of activities and saw lions, elephants, rhinos, cheetahs, and so much more!
Use Lorna Safaris for your travels in Kenya; their reach is far and their service is genuinely five-star!

An unforgettable Safari Trip with Serengeti Unforgettable Safaris
We just finished our 3-day Tanzania safari with Serengeti Unforgettable Safaris, and our guide Lucas made it absolutely unforgettable. If you’re booking a safari, request him you won’t regret it.
We visited Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara National Park and saw incredible amount of wildlife, including the Big Five (5). Lucas always knew where to go and could spot animals we would have driven right past. His knowledge of the animals and ecosystems made every sighting even more special for us.
He’s also an excellent driver guide. He was patient, never rushed us, and made the whole trip feel relaxed and personal. He even took amazing photos and videos for us throughout the trip and shared them with us. We also loved the cultural experience he arranged at Maasai, and the lodge we stayed at was fantastic.
Lucas is friendly, professional, and truly passionate about what he does. We’re already talking about coming back again and would choose Lucas again to be our driver guide without hesitation. Highly recommend Serengeti Unforgettable Safaris and Lucas to anyone planning a Tanzania safari.
