Best of my 8 trips to Africa
I talked to Sam by WhatsApp and planned a 7 day tented safari tailored to my family of 5. The accommodations 9x12 main tent with a real bed and sheets, 9x6 covered porch and 9x6 private bush bathroom and service were of luxury quality at a budget price. Sam owns this small company so all of your money goes to your experience, not to a distant owner or travel agency. 6 staff took care of our every need and treated us like family. 3 meals and 2 tea breaks a day were delicious. Did our laundry and changed linens daily.
Most importantly Sam is the guide that all the other guides go to for advice. We were usually the first at important sightings. Sam went to where the animals were going to be, so we saw herds of wildebeest and prides of lions approach the water hole. We often stopped in the middle of a herd or pride to observe exciting behavior: courting, mating, nursing, young playing, fighting for dominance, stealing kill. As one of many examples, we heard lions in the night. In the morning Sam said that the lions had killed an elephant, pointed in the direction and said it was 5km. away. we drove their found the tracks and watched the Marsh Pride of 20 lions: adults feeding or resting, cubs playing, attempting to eat and nursing.
You are in the wild. The difficulty of dirt roads seldom getting out of second gear was offset by elephants and giraffes browsing in the trees 20 ft from our tents

Exceptional Safari in Kenya Sep’24
Exceptional Safari in Kenya
Sep 2024 • Family
Our family of seven (including a 6 year old) just returned from a 9 day safari and I wanted to write a review because it was the best experience we could ever had hoped for. Nancy was so patient with us as we went back and forth several times fine tuning our itinerary. She always replied promptly, gave us valuable advice and organized everything right down to the final airport drop off so that our vacation was stress free and enjoyable. I have to make a special mention of Bedan our guide. While Nancy saw to all the details it was Bedan who made the safari absolutely memorable. He was so friendly and so knowledgeable and went out of his way to make sure we had the best safari experience we could have hoped for. He would talk to other guides, get tips from them as to where the best animal sightings were and would joke about his “secret” which would be yet another marvellous animal sighting. He would drive around in all directions so we had the best vantage point to view and take photographs of the animals. My family and I don’t have enough words to say how incredible both Bedan and Nancy were.

Excellent Operator
If you are reading my review, I can only advise you what I know or have been through.
If you are reading a lot of reviews in tripadvisor……still confused and don’t know where to start, my only advice is GO With a Trustable Operator and A Good Guide. I still stand by this Statement after my 1st Safari in Kenya.
We had a fantastic safari with Kenan Travel & Tours. Jane was very helpful and she organised our itinerary according to our needs. A month before our Safari was due to start, Nairobi was protesting (new tax imposed) and I wrote to Jane. She replied quickly and briefed us on the situation in Nairobi and advised us accordingly. Thanks, Jane
Jane is definitely a good operator. She is a good communicator and she adds a personal touch to her service by personally been present to welcome us and to brief us on the 1st day and she was there on our last day to check on us. She knows what she is doing. Good on you, Jane
We did 1 night in Lake Nakuru and 3 nights in Masai Mara. We were hoping to see The Big 5 and we weren't disappointed at all.
Edward, our guide, was very knowledgeable and worked very hard to secure good viewing spots for us to view The Big 5…..Hakuna Matata!!! We weren't disappointed at all with him……….had a great time and could not ask any more from him. That guy really worked hard for us. Hand on tight to your safety handles……………he will zoom to secure you the right and best viewing spot in the quickest time!
We will be back………..river crossing, please!

Amazing wildlife, friendly people, beautiful beaches!!
We took an 8 day/7 night safari with SafariSoles followed by 5 days on Zanzibar. Both were amazing, 100% positive experiences!! SafariSoles was a fantastic company that let us design our own safari with very nice and comfortable hotels and tent cabins at an incredibly reasonable price. Our driver and guide - Kennedy - was also fantastic. He knew where to look for wildlife, when to stay and watch, and when to rush to another location to catch something rare. He was very knowledgeable about the wildlife and the ecosystems and just a great all around guide. We also loved Zanzibar, both Stonetown and Matemwe Beach. We stayed at Emerson Spice hotel in Stonetown and Villa Kiva on Matemwe Beach. Both were great. We highly recommend the fish tasting menu at Emerson Spice's rooftop restaurant. It was really delicious and an incredible bargain. Villa Kiva is also great. Right on the beach with beautiful views and gardens, lots of nice places to relax, great food in the restaurant, and very helpful at arranging a dolphin boat/snorkeling strip. We loved Tanzania and would happily go back.

5* unforgettable experience
The safari with Buffalo Steps Adventures was truly an unforgettable experience for us. Everything went smoothly, from the pick-up right at our accommodation, through the visits to the two safari parks, Tsavo East and West, to our return.
Our guide Geoffrey was a very friendly guy who made an effort to show us all the interesting places and animals living in the safari. In two and a half days, we had the opportunity to see a large part of this fascinating country and a great variety of animals, some even up close.
Thank you once again.

Amazing tour company！And an Amazing guild！
A memorable journey, I met an excellent company. Particularly, I met a fantastic tour guide, Edward, who showed us many interesting animals, including all the Big Five. I hope that next time we visit Tanzania, it will still be Edward who takes us to continue exploring the beauty of Tanzania!

Wow, Leisure Way Adventures provided us with a fantastic, unique experience.
We are a couple from the UK. Having done some research we chose to book a 7 day safari with Leisure Way Adventures. We where a little apprehensive organizing the trip ourselves without the assistance of a UK travel agent. Stylus was quick to respond to all our questions & even met us at our hotel in Nairobi & introduced us to our driver Robert. The trip an absolute success from start to finish. Robert was an excellent trustworthy driver, who was able to spot animals & get us into prime viewing positions. We would have no hesitation in recommending Leisure Way Adventures to anyone who is thinking of booking a Safari.

Indescribably beautiful, individual, private safari - exactly as we imagined it
We had two unforgettable days with an incredible number of animal sightings. Most of the time even without any other tourists or jeeps! The guys customised the safari exactly to our wishes. From the first second to the last they wanted to show us as much as possible. Both guys, the driver and the tour guide, were very keen to see the animals we mentioned. They also have an enormous amount of knowledge about the park, nature, plants and of course all the animals. We had many great conversations with the tour guide.
Anytime again with pleasure - unrestricted recommendation!!!

Thank you Kili Heroes
Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro was an adventure of a lifetime, and I owe it all to Kilimanjaro Heroes. I took the 7-day Lemosho Route, and from start to finish, the experience was nothing short of incredible. The guides were not just knowledgeable but also endlessly encouraging, sharing their expertise with patience and care. They knew the mountain like the back of their hands, and their confidence gave me the strength I didn't know I had.
The meals prepared by the cook were a true highlight of the journey. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner were always delicious and varied, which is not something I expected on a mountain trek. Every meal felt like it was made with thoughtfulness and a touch of home, giving us the energy we needed to push forward.
And then there were the porters—absolute superhumans. Watching them carry all that weight up and down the trail left me in awe. Their dedication and strength were inspiring, and they did it all with a smile, making the tough moments feel a little lighter.
What truly sets Kilimanjaro Heroes apart is how they treated us like family. They weren’t just guiding us up a mountain; they were with us every step of the way, rooting for our success, caring about our journey to the summit as if it was their own. It wasn’t just about reaching the top; it was about the connections, the support, and the belief they instilled in us that we could do it.
If you’re thinking of climbing Kilimanjaro, go with Kilimanjaro Heroes. They make you feel like more than just a climber—they make you feel like family. This journey was more than a hike; it was a transformative experience, and I couldn’t have asked for better people to share it with.
