5 star experience
Going on safari while in South Africa for a work trip was a definite must. I don’t think I could’ve chosen a better guide than MoAfrika Tours. The night before my safari I received a message confirming my trip and pickup time. The morning of, I received a call from our driver for the day (shout out Sibu!) letting me know he would be arriving in 20 minutes. The drive to the park was easy and included a stop to get a drink and use the restroom. Once at the park we met our guide Tshiamo who was professional, friendly, and drove us around to find all of the animals that were out and about. For lunch we had a simple (but flavorful and delicious) bbq in the park that was the perfect amount of food. At the end of the day we met back up with Sibu for a quiet drive (we were all tired from spending the day watching the amazing animals) back in to town. 5/5 would recommend!

The Best!
If you are planning a safari in Kenya, we wholeheartedly recommend Moses and Promax Safaris! 🇰🇪
We contacted Moses about six months before our trip, almost immediately after buying our tickets to Kenya. We found him through recommendations from other travelers, and now, after completing our safari, we can confidently say that choosing him was absolutely the right decision.
Everything was discussed and arranged in advance: the itinerary, accommodation, program and total cost. Our route was: Masai Mara → Lake Nakuru → Lake Naivasha → Amboseli → train to Mombasa → transfer to Diani Beach.
We arrived in Nairobi late at night and stayed at the Ibis Hotel. The next morning Moses picked us up, and our Kenyan adventure began!
Our first destination was Masai Mara. From the very first full day, the safari was incredible. Moses knew where to look for the animals, and we saw everything we had hoped for. Another huge advantage for us was that Moses speaks Russian very well, so there was absolutely no language barrier. We talked and laughed throughout the long drives, asked him a million questions, and he always had something interesting to tell us. After just a few hours, it felt as if we had known each other for years.
Next was Lake Nakuru. We only had half a day for the safari there, but it was packed with amazing moments. Moses quickly found huge white rhinos, and later we saw a lioness with two cubs. The lake was full of pelicans, and thousands of pink flamingos created an incredible pink landscape across the water. We also visited the waterfall with lots of monkeys nearby. On our way back, a giraffe came incredibly close to us and stood there as if it had arrived specifically for a photo session! 😄 Before leaving the park, we saw another rhino with birds sitting on its back. What a day!
Lake Naivasha was a completely different safari experience. We took a boat trip, fed pelicans with fish and saw lots of hippos, eagles, otters and many different species of birds. By that point, zebras and wildebeest had become so common for us that we almost stopped mentioning them — they were simply everywhere! 😂
Then we headed to Amboseli. The drive from Naivasha took around 5.5 hours, but the time passed surprisingly quickly because we talked with Moses the whole way. He answered every question we had and told us so much about Kenya, its people, wildlife and everyday life.
The lodge Moses selected for us near Amboseli was fantastic, located right next to the park and surrounded by real African wilderness. At night, an elephant even came close to the lodge!
We had two safaris in Amboseli: an evening game drive on the day we arrived and a morning game drive the following day. Amboseli is absolutely beautiful. We saw huge numbers of elephants, including many tiny baby elephants, giraffes, zebras, flamingos and beautiful green oases surrounded by dry African landscapes.
One of the most unforgettable moments happened at sunset, when the clouds finally cleared and Mount Kilimanjaro appeared in front of us. Absolutely magical.
After our morning safari, we had some free time to relax and simply enjoy the beautiful surroundings. We enjoyed Amboseli 1000%! 🐘🏔️
What impressed us just as much as the safari itself was the organization of the entire trip.
At the end of our safari, Moses drove us to the railway station, arranged First Class train tickets for us and made sure we were safely on board. By that point, saying goodbye genuinely felt like saying goodbye to a good friend — we hugged and were honestly a little sad that our safari together was over.
And even then, Moses’ job wasn’t finished. He had already arranged our transfer from Mombasa railway station to our hotel, Ocean Village Club in Diani Beach. We were met on arrival and comfortably driven all the way to the hotel in an air-conditioned vehicle.
Moses, thank you so much for this incredible journey — for the perfect organization, your help, your knowledge, all the conversations and laughs, and most importantly, for giving us such unforgettable memories of Kenya.
We came to Kenya looking for a safari guide and left feeling that we had found a friend.
If you are looking for a reliable safari company in Kenya and a fantastic guide, we can recommend Moses and Promax Safaris without hesitation.
Asante sana, Moses! 🇰🇪❤️

Amazing Anniversary Safari!
We wanted to do something really special for our fiftieth wedding anniversary, and we contacted three safari providers via Safaribookings. From the first communication back from Joysharon at Morningstar, they impressed us most. Joysharon presented us with itinerary options, clearly explained costs, and answered for us numerous questions we had planning our first safari. The itinerary we decided on was two nights in Nairobi (Argyle), two nights at Amboseli (Kibo), one night at Naivasha (Sopa), one night at Nakuru (Sopa), and two nights at Masai Mara (Zebra), giving us ample acclimation time from our long travel from the United States and a perfect mix of traditional camps and resorts. Joysharon kept contact with us via WhatsApp and emails thorough the entire planning process, and then once on the safari she checked to ensure that we arrived safely at our hotel in Nairobi, checked on us every evening to ensure our expectations had been met, ensured we arrived back at airport with no issues at conclusion of our safari, and even checked to make sure we arrived back home. She obviously contacted our camps and resorts in advance, and as a result we were surprised with room upgrades, decorated beds, and staff singing and celebration cakes that made our fiftieth anniversary even more memorable.
Our assigned driver and safari guide was Gabriel. He was courteous, pleasant, and went above and beyond to make us comfortable. He has excellent driving skills on the challenging Kenya roads. He made extra washrooms stops for us, modified the schedule of activities to give us additional rest times, and even went and bought a step stool when he noticed us struggling some to get in and out of the jeep. In addition, Gabirel knew just where to go the maximize our wildlife encounters, often being the first or only vehicle for animal viewing. He took care of all of our arrangements, tickets, etc, and we just had to sit back and enjoy the adventure of a lifetime.
We highly recommend Morningstar Safaris, and suggest you ask personally for Joysharon as your travel consultant and Gabriel as your driver and guide.

An excellent safari full of animals, even the hardest to see! Bonus, a live cheetah attack, baby gazelle on the menu. Good explanation, good dedication to giving us the most beautiful show in the Maasai Mara!

Steve makes the difference
My safari was made by my guide and driver, Steve: knowledgeable, patient and great company. He brought the wildlife to life and also shared real insights into Tanzanian culture, daily life. Long, dusty drives became enjoyable thanks to his storytelling.
That said, my high rating is mainly for him. Mixing very different accommodation categories in the same vehicle created space issues and meant extra waiting time in camps instead of enjoying the parks. Fortunately, the group was very friendly, which made the safari very pleasant.
I stayed in great lodges like Tanzania Bush Camp in the Serengeti, but given the big price gap other agencies may suit non-tent bookings better.
So for tented camps, this setup is perfect and overall, I’d still recommend the tour with Steve.

An unforgettable Safari Experience 🦒🦓🐘
We had an amazing three-day safari with Marcos Wanderlust Safaris in Taita Hills and Tsavo East National Park. Our driver, Sebastian, was fantastic - friendly, punctual, and very knowledgeable. He taught us so much about the animals and the parks.
We were lucky to see lions, elephants, zebras, a huge herd of buffalo, and many more animals. One of our absolute highlights was seeing a cheetah mother with her two cubs - truly unforgettable!
We had three wonderful days filled with amazing game drives and unforgettable memories. We are very happy we chose Marcos Wanderlust Safaris and would highly recommend them!

Perfect expérience
I spent 15 days in Uganda with the agency Gorilla Bookings. Justus put together a fantastic itinerary for us, including two gorilla treks. It offered great value for money. Our French-speaking guide, Anette, had extensive field experience and shared fascinating insights into Uganda's history. Our driver, Allan, had an uncanny ability to spot wildlife in the savanna! They made a fantastic team—highly professional, friendly, and always smiling.
The lodges were comfortable, and the food was excellent. Many thanks to the entire team for such a well-organized trip!
