Made our Kenya & Tanzania safari truly unforgettable
Our Kenya & Tanzania Safari with Inspired Budget Safaris
We had the wonderful safari experience with Lilian and her team at Inspired Budget Safaris. From the very first communication, Lilian was always quick to respond, patient with all our questions, and very clear in her explanations. She made the whole booking process very smooth and gave us confidence even before we landed in Nairobi.
From the moment we were picked up at Nairobi airport, everything was perfectly organized. The vehicles were clean and comfortable, and our drivers/guides were extremely knowledgeable, reliable, and friendly. They made sure we were always safe and comfortable, while also sharing so much about the wildlife and culture.
Our itinerary was well designed — starting with Amboseli, then Lake Nakuru and Lake Naivasha, then the incredible Masai Mara, and finally crossing into Tanzania for Serengeti and Ngorongoro. We were lucky to see all the animals we had dreamed of, including lions, elephants, rhinos, and even the Great Migration in Serengeti. Each park had its own magic, and the way the trip was planned gave us a chance to enjoy them without feeling rushed.
We truly appreciated the value for money — the lodges and camps chosen were comfortable, the food was good, and the service everywhere was welcoming. What made the biggest difference was Lilian’s personal touch. She kept checking on us throughout the journey and made sure we were always happy with the arrangements.
For us, coming from Dubai, it felt like traveling with family in a new country. We could fully enjoy the beauty of Africa without worrying about anything because we knew we were in safe hands.
We highly recommend Inspired Budget Safaris and Lilian to anyone planning a safari in Kenya and Tanzania. This was a once-in-a-lifetime experience and we are grateful to her team for making it so special.

An Amazing Experience
I booked the 8 day Lemosho Kilimanjaro trip and a 3 day Safari including the Serengeti and Ngorongoro as a solo trip with Mafie Adventures and was not disappointed. Anaeli, the guide I had was knowledgable and friendly, the crew were also very welcoming, and the daily meals were great. We successfully made it to the summit on day 5 and I was even given a couple of rest days at a hotel since I finished the trekk earlier than planned. The safari experience was also good, taking me around Serengeti and Ngorongoro and having the opportunity to see all sorts of wildlife. Meals were very good. Start to finish, from airport transfers, to accommodation before and after the mountain and safari, everything went smoothly and allowed me to have an incredible experience in a country with a lot to offer the adventurous explorer wanting to get away from it all. I did what I wanted to do and managed to do it at a cheaper price than other operators were quoting, I would recommend Mafie Adventures.

An unforgettable experience to be repeated
It was certainly an unforgettable 5-day experience that exceeded all expectations. Thanks to the expertise and availability of the Hekima staff, we had the privilege of seeing the Big 5 and a huge variety of other animals. We stayed in spectacular lodges where, in addition to the good food, we had the opportunity to interact with incredibly friendly and kind people. Without a doubt, an experience to repeat with Hekima ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Trustworthy and reliable
From the very first contact with Tracks of Africa, we knew we were in good hands: Sara guided us with clear, attentive, and constant communication, making us feel supported and safe in every detail. Once we arrived in Africa, everything turned into pure magic: breathtaking landscapes, unique atmospheres, and the extraordinary competence of our guide Ino—cheerful, tireless, and with perfect Italian—who allowed us to fully enjoy every moment. The selected accommodations were of a high standard, welcoming and comfortable, always offering a special retreat after intense and exciting days.
The highlight? Spotting the Big Five, an experience that took our breath away and will forever remain in our memories.
A journey that went far beyond our expectations, made unforgettable by flawless organization.
Asante sana

Fraudulent Company
I booked a safari with Dosasha for September, but suddenly I can’t get in touch with them anymore. I found out that they have recently scammed many people out of their deposits and balances, then ran away, and their license has even been revoked by the TRA. I hope everyone will stay alert and not fall for this scam. I will report to the police to recover my deposit.

Enthusiastic, experienced and kind, we felt safe with him
Good service: pickup from the AirPort and drop off, picked our big bags up and dropped them off after the safari, it was okay for us to only pay half up front so they were very flexible
Communication: they were nice and easy accessible, updated us on changes
We received an itinerary that wasn’t exactly what we ended up doing (the big picture was the same but some details were a little different, or not exactly included in the itinerary, for instance where we would be having lunch and how long certain driving times would be, or at what time we would be picked up for the first day). However they were very open to questions about these topics and answered them as soon as we asked.
The tented camps they picked for us were amazing and we paid just a little more than the others we did the tour with who slept in tents, so the value for money was amazing.
The tour itself was great: the tour operator was very kind and experienced, he knew exactly where to go and had a lot of information about the park and the animals etc.

Safari 2 Gorilla Tours is a well run and efficient tour company
Aron put together a tour program that allowed us to experience the very best that Uganda has to offer. Our guide, Martin, was fantastic. He has vast knowledge of the country, the region and the animals. We enjoyed out time immensely and would recommend Safari 2 Gorilla tours for your next visit to experience the wildlife of Uganda.

Truly Remarkable
The safari with Gosheni was a highlight of my travel life. Bariki is a perfect guide with incredible knowledge of the parks and animals. He also went out of his way to ensure we saw more elusive animals such as distant leopards and engaged in interesting conversation. We saw all of the big 5 multiple times as well as other interesting animals such as cheetahs, servals, crocodiles, and of course wildebeest in the Great Migration. August is a great time to embark on a safari and I absolutely recommend Gosheni. They are accomodating and knowledgeable and I can’t imagine a safari experience being much better than the one I had.

Great Game Drive in Maasai Mara
I had a good times with Jocky Tours and really enjoyed our game drives. We could have a full day + one evening visiting the Maasai Mara park and saw lots of animals specially lions, cheetahs and leopards which we got lucky to see. Our guide, James Gichina, was really great helping to find animals and there if we needed him through our stay. The camp was as expected with good food.
The only down is the organization at the beginning of our trip as we have to enter Nairobi CBD for administration and lost lots of time there for nothing. Once we were picked up by our guide James (in a good car), everything went smoothly.

Best Guide and Team
I just returned from an incredible East African safari, and it exceeded all expectations, thanks largely to our phenomenal guide, Julius, and the fantastic team at the tour company.
Our guide, Julius, was absolutely outstanding. His 18 years of experience were evident every single day. He was incredibly responsible, ensuring we were always on time to catch the animals at their most active. He is a man of great integrity, strictly adhering to the park rules to keep everyone safe and avoid penalties, yet his vast network of guide friends on the radio meant we never missed a sighting. His patience and compassion, perhaps from being a father of five, shone through. He was always helpful with our luggage and kept the vehicle spotless.
Furthermore, a huge shout-out to Narry from sales! He was incredibly energetic and helpful from the very first inquiry, answering all our questions promptly and making the booking process smooth and easy.
I cannot recommend this company enough, especially for Chinese travellers. They provide sincere, top-notch service that made our trip truly perfect.
