Amazing safari experience
We enjoyed the beautiful views at Lake Naivasha, saw lots of animals in Nakuru, and were amazed by Maasai Mara. The team made sure everything went smoothly and safely.
I recommend this safari for anyone who wants a well-planned trip with great service and good value.
William organized everything well, and Samuel was a great guide.

Great safari
It was very lucky to have Francis traveling with us. Actually, most of the stars should attribute to this professional and funny guide as we really had a great time on safari.
However, there are some reminds for all visitors, especially for Chinese visitors: if you want to choose this company, firstly, double check and make sure the hotels meet your requirements before booking. Otherwise, they will ask for extra money after changing your hotels when you have already checked in. Secondly, the meals included might be different from specified in the itinerary. We had two missing dinners which were included according to the plan.
Thirdly, always figure out the price before letting them arranging your activities. They have that habit to make the prices vague and to keep the changes even if you are not mean to.
In addition, Serengeti is always the best choice. Other national parks like Arusha national park might be small. As for the Haozabe tribe, you should go only under the interest of hunting and be prepared for the tips for local guides and donations for local community. Don’t buy the handcrafts because they are expensive and even if you have already bought some trying to support their community, still they’ll ask you for donations directly.
Overall, always get all the information before making decisions, be careful of the hidden costs!!

Very reliable safari operator, great communication and always available to accommodate our requests
We are a family living in Dubai and we really wanted to do a safari with our 2 daughters this summer. I picked this operator from Safari Bookings and trusted the many positive reviews. Initially I have asked 3 different operators programs and quotations and I especially appreciated the prompt communication with Naomi, the Operations Manager of African Big Cats Safaris who gave me several proposals to fit our interests and budget. Everything went as per plan. Our driver Festo was expecting us at the Kilimanjaro Airport where we started our journey. Festo has really been a professional guide over our 6 days of safari, a kind, polite and very knowledgeable person. We started with visiting the Tarangire National Park, where we saw many elephants, baboons, zebras, giraffes, moving then to Ngorongoro crater, with a very spectacular scenery. Many lions, buffalos, zebras, hyenas (in action taking the remains of an animal hunted by 2 male lions) and many birds. Unfortunately we spotted only from very far distance a rhino. Serengeti was an amazing experience as well, the park is huge and quite diverse. Central Serengeti was very nice especially for the lions and elephant, then we moved to North Serengeti to see the migrations, thousands of wildebeests and zebras all around, crossing the Mara river. We saw 2 crossings and then we spotted 3 cheetahs hunting. We also spotted 2 leopards on a tree. Overall it's difficult to find the words to tell about the beauty of the places and the wild life. The accommodations were according to standards, maybe only one in Ngorongoro was a bit basic, where we slept with 8 degrees. The low temperature at times was a surprise. After 1,100 Km of drive from Kilimanjaro to the border of Kenia, we left North Serengeti flying to Zanzibar. I have to say the roads are very bumpy but those Toyota SUV are indestructible! Overall a true fantastic experience!

Seamless, amazing experience. Best tour we’ve ever done
We chose this tour because we knew it was locally owned, ethical and very well priced compared to others. The tour exceeded expectations and Ronnie our driver was amazing. He was incredibly knowledgeable throughout the drive pointing out plants and crops and giving us additional information about Rwanda and Uganda. The communication from the tour was great. We were a little nervous because the website wasn’t flashy but everything was perfect.
The gorillas was a pretty life changing experience, they walked right around and past us and everyone was in awe. The groups are very small too to not upset the gorillas. Highly highly recommend. 10/10 experience

They were top notch and exceeded all expectations
This Gorilla trek trip was booked through Natural Habitat as an extension of a South African safari. From start to finish it was great in every way. Emmy, our expedition leader was a huge difference maker- he was knowledgeable, friendly, thoughtful and was there for us in every way. He added tremendous value throughout. Not only did he know a lot about the experience, but his local knowledge came in handy many times. For example I got sick the last day of the trip and he quickly swung into action and arranged a trip to a local clinic where I got great and timely care, such that we were able to make our flights back to the states in time, including a three hour drive back to Kigali airport!
The hotel was very nice-although dated, and the people were great and food and service excellent.
The goriall experience was amazing- and Rwanda is a great country- developing with great potential
I would recommend OffTrek Safaris without hesitation
