Good, reliable Tour Operator in Kenya
My daughter and I went on the seven days Masau Mara, Lake Nakoru Park and Amboseli safari which we had booked a few months prior to the actual safari date. Elizabeth was very prompt in responding to our emails and answered all our questions accurately every time.
Simba Trails exceeded our expectations, from the point we landed at the airport up until the point when we departed for home. Our guide was a bit of an old man but rather experienced and with a great sense of humor. His knowledge of the Parks and the animals proved invaluable during the trip and we were fortunate to catch the 'Big Five', thanks to the Rhino Sanctuary in Nakuru which is the only place where we saw rhinos.
I'd most surely would recommend Elizabeth and Simba Trails Safaris to anyone looking for a reliable tour company in Kenya.

Unforgettable Wildebeest Migration experience at the Mara!
We booked our trip at the beginning of 2016 and our plan was to catch the much famed wildebeest migration. Our safari consultant answered all our emails promptly through out our discussion and she had proposed that the best time to catch the migration would be towards the end of July. So we booked our tickets for the last week of July and crossed our fingers.
Our arrival was just perefect timing as the wildebeest had started the crossing. We went straight to Masai Mara from the airport and our driver/guide Peter was very helpful and also very knowledgeable. Our lodge Keekorok Lodge was also very comfortable and the food completely exceeded our expectations.
We stayed in Masai Mara for a total of 5 days tracking the migration and I must say that the trip was a complete success! I was able to take enough material for a documentary that I am working on for my phd.
I will forever be grateful to Simba Trails Expeditions for their accuurate and prompt assistance through out the planning and execution of our trip. I greatly recommend this company to anyone who is looking for a reasonably priced private safari to Kenya.

Great experiance and lovely accomadation
The communication was excellent given that I only booked 1 week before going, everything was up to spec and the Accommodation at Kruger Park lodge was excellent. Though if I was to do it again I would stay within Kruger park at Skukuza rest camp. Though not as luxurious there is more to do and the food is better. We spent 5 days 4 nights at Kruger and went on 2 full day safaris, 1 evening drive, 1 morning drive and a panorama tour. On hindsight I would have done 2 full safaris a bush walk and other activities available at Skukuza which is the main camp inside Kruger. Though given enough time I am sure Kruger park travel can cater to all activities.
In summary , it was an unforgettable experience one which I would love to again, Kruger park travel as a booking company were great given we only booked 1 week ahead of departure and were prompt and forthcoming with any information or travel plans we needed.

Grand Kruger Lodge 3 stars - Bongani Mountain Lodge 5 stars
Grand Kruger Lodge:
We were a party of 6. The staff were friendly and the service during breakfast and dinner was excellent.
The 8 hr game drive was fantastic. The breakfast was not great however, it was like something you'd send to school with your 10 year old. The lodge and rooms are in need of a some TLC. It felt dirty and unkept. :(
Bongani Mountian Lodge:
5 stars all the way. Accommodation was excellent, clean and beautiful.
Food was amazing and the Game Range Drivers were knowledgable and made every game drive a memorable one. Absalome and Thabo were our drivers and they get 10/10 from our party of 6.
The drive there was very scary as Bongani is not that easy to get to and we got horribly lost. But what a great experience. xxxxx :)

Professionals
Professional service and a holiday of a lifetime. Despite the problems with transport, problems have been solved quickly and effectively. This was our first trip to Kenya, I am sure we will return. I would recommend Classic Joueys as it is a reliable operator who cares about its customers and the has a high level of service. Greetings to Elvis;-)
