Wonderful more than Budget tours
Thank you Lenchada for a wonderful safari experience. Alex is very good with communication so it was easy to plan the safari. Our driver and tour guide Dickson was knowledgeable and good with showing us all he could. We got to see lot of animals like lions, cheetahs, leopard, giraffe, elephant, hyenas, wildbeasts, Buffalo hippos, aligators and Ostrich at Masai maara NP while both white and black Rhinos at lake nakuru. In October we didn't get to see great migration.
The lenchada camp was better than our expectation. The deluxe tent comes with charging ports inside tent so it was helpful to charge stuff rather than going to common area. The Lanet matfam hotel in lake nakuru was below expectation as the room was very bad but the hotel amenities like swimming pool and stuff were good.
Food throughout the trip was good and all included. Plan to carry some snacks as the lunch is mostly delayed. The start of the trip was delayed by almost 2 hours waiting in the car which made the first day very hectic.
Final Notes: In all if you plan to do both masai mara and lake nakuru there is lot of travelling by car for 3 hours at lake nakuru NP so if you really want to see white Rhinos only then I would advise doing it. Our pickup and drop-off was from our hotel where we kept our checkin bags as only carry on bags were allowed on safari.

Excellent quality/price ratio
Really good value for money.
Tour was perfect with Edward, met our expectations and was listening to our requirements.
Communication with office before the tour could be a little bit improved.
Special mention for the last camp in Amboseli, Manjaro ! Excellent place !

Very nice safari with a wonderful guide
We had a very nice 4-day safari with Obag Safaris. Obeg, our guide, picked us up at the cruise port in Dar es Salaam. We had contacted each other on WhatsApp which was good because we had some trouble finding each other at the port. My husband uses a very big sport walker, so we were glad that we were picked up in a van which was driven by the very capable Katcha (sp??). The Mikumi Lodge was about a 6-hour drive away, and we stopped for a pleasant lunch on the way. Mikumi Lodge isn’t as well-appointed as some that we’ve stayed in at Arusha and the Serengeti, but it was very clean and comfortable and staffed with the loveliest people.
We had two full days of game drives during which Obeg pointed out all of the game and birds in sight. We we’re able to see plenty of zebras, gnus, water buffaloes, antelope, lions, and birds. We really wanted to spot a leopard, but it was not to be. But we did get to see a python! We’d never seen on in the wild before. This guy was about six meters long.
Obeg was very kind, helpful and attentive the whole time. He also handled my husband’s walker in and out of the safari truck multiple times a day which wasn’t easy.

Namíbia Is the most civilized country and also one of the most beatifull from the ones i know.
Namibia is a country with very beautiful landscapes.
It is also a country with excellent natural parks where we can observe its abundant fauna and flora.
all this in a country with a very friendly, civilized and welcoming population.
Meeting the Maasai and safari in Amboseli
Our full day trip to meet the Maasai and experience Amboseli National Park was nothing short of amazing and an experience we will never forget.
Our guide was knowledgeable, professional and had a great sense of humor. The Safari was spectacular. We saw a huge number of animals including lions, hippos, giraffes, hyenas, zebras and elephants. Lunch was at a lodge in the park which was a great african inspired venue serving good food.
The visit to meet the Maasai was really good. Entertaining as much as educational about the way they lived, their culture and how they treated disease and sickness. An experience that won't be forgotten. The downside, and Im being picky here was at the end when we were pushed heavily to purchase items they pretend are made by the Massai in the village at extremely expensive prices, when they are nothing more than mass produced souvenirs found at every airport throughout Africa. Otherwise, and extremely good day from start to finish.

Review about Tarangire National Park by Louise
We had an abundance of wildlife and saw more in one day than in some three day safaris we've done.
