The tour was great, the guide was awesome, we loved it
The tour is worth every penny, we booked 6 days and it was more than enough. We were lucky enough to see all the animals but leopard (next time). The lodges we stayed at were great. The team helped with all the questions and documents before the tour, they were helpful and responsive. It was our honeymoon and it was a lovely experience; we couldn’t be happier.
I want to say BIG thanks to our guide Benson who was not only driving us through half the country but also provided a lot of information on the animals, people, culture; was always helpful and answered probably a hundred of questions I personally asked.
If you want to change/upgrade accommodation, just contact the operator, it was possible for us. I definitely recommend the service provider. Thanks again for the unforgettable experience

The organization was excellent from start to finish, and everything went smoothly.
We had a wonderful safari today in Nairobi National Park. Our guide was very professional, available, and attentive throughout the day. He responded to all our requests and made sure we had the best possible experience. We really appreciated his flexibility and knowledge. Highly recommended!

Joseph is so professional, calm and has sharp eyes. He is excellent driver for us!
We had an amazingly eye-opening 6-day Safari experience, thanks to our driver and guide Joseph. He shared many interesting facts about the places we visited and especially about the animals in Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru (their habits, their ways of life, whether they from the same families,...) - it feels like he knows them personally very well. We highly appreciate that he was also actively in touch with other drivers to get the latest updates on the best locations to spot the animals, particularly lesser-seen ones like lions, cheetahs or rhinos. Apart from that, Joseph was calm and accommodating, which made us feel safe throughout the journey so we could enjoy the best safari memories. Highly recommend having your trip with Joseph!
The only thing that could have been better is clearer communication about methods of payment. We had some disagreement with the village representative during our visit to Masai village, on what dollar bills were accepted for payment (e.g. with series later than 2013). Later we also found out Kenyan shillings were also accepted but not mentioned in the tour information. Had we been informed properly in advance, we could have made payment in shillings and ended the village visit on a high note. Hence, we suggest stating the accepted currencies and notes implicitly under the tour information to avoid misunderstandings to future guests.

Amazing adventure with Morningstar!
We recently (Feb) completed a 7-night safari through Kenya (Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha and Amboseli) and had an incredible experience from start to finish.
The booking process was excellent. Dennis was extremely responsive throughout and put together several different versions of our itinerary, giving us plenty of options to consider. Everything was presented professionally and clearly, making it easy to review the trip day by day and adjust activities and accommodation based on our preferences. We also appreciated that there was never any pressure to book, and the accommodation photos helped bring the itinerary to life.
The highlight of the trip was undoubtedly the Masai Mara. We stayed at Zebra River Camp and were fortunate enough to receive an upgrade, which was a fantastic surprise. The Mara’s vast landscapes were breathtaking, and we were lucky enough to see almost everything we hoped for during our game drives.
A huge thank you goes to our guide and driver, Rono. He was knowledgeable, relaxed, professional and had a great sense of humour. As a couple travelling together, we really appreciated how he struck the perfect balance between giving us space and providing interesting insights about the wildlife, culture and parks. He was incredibly accommodating, always happy to adjust plans where possible, and his driving skills were impressive given some of the road conditions. He genuinely made the trip even more enjoyable.
One thing to consider when planning a safari like this is that there is a fair amount of driving between the different parks, particularly when covering multiple destinations. We were completely fine with this as we wanted to see as much wildlife and as many different areas as possible, but it is worth keeping in mind depending on your preferences and how comfortable you are with longer drives.
Lake Nakuru was another great stop, particularly for rhino sightings, while Lake Naivasha offered some fantastic variety. We thoroughly enjoyed cycling and hiking in Hell’s Gate National Park, as well as the boat trip and walking safari on Crescent Island. Amboseli was the perfect way to finish the safari, with huge numbers of elephants and some spectacular views of Mount Kilimanjaro.
All of the accommodation exceeded our expectations, and the food throughout the trip was consistently excellent with plenty of choice.
The only minor issue we experienced was a tyre problem with the safari vehicle one day. However, the company dealt with it quickly and professionally, were very apologetic, and replaced all of the tyres to ensure there were no further problems. It felt like an unfortunate bit of bad luck rather than a reflection of the company itself.
Overall, the organisation, communication, accommodation, activities and guiding were all outstanding. We had an amazing time and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this company to anyone considering a safari in Kenya - we have already recommended them to our friends. Special thanks again to Dennis for organising everything and to Rono for making the trip so memorable.

Excellent and well organized
My recent safari adventure across Kenya was truly remarkable, and I am grateful to Mournic Adventures for making it such a memorable experience. The journey took us through some of Kenya's most iconic destinations, including Amboseli National Park, Tsavo East National Park, and Tsavo West National Park, where we enjoyed breathtaking scenery, diverse wildlife, and unforgettable game drives. The trip concluded with a relaxing stay on the beautiful white sandy beaches of Diani, providing the perfect balance of adventure and leisure.
The safari was exceptionally well organized by Victor, whose attention to detail ensured that every aspect of the trip ran smoothly. Our tour guide, Brian, was outstanding and brought the experience to life with his extensive knowledge of the parks, wildlife, and local environment. We were also impressed by the quality of accommodation throughout the journey. Amboseli Sopa Lodge, Voi Safari Lodge, and Ngulia Lodge offered excellent comfort, hospitality, and service, making our stay enjoyable and enhancing the overall safari experience.

Personable, knowledgeable, and professional
From start to finished, Freddy and Benjamin communicated, arrived on time, and we're there to support in all ways. The experience was better because of their diligence, enthusiasm, and efforts. They engaged on all fronts, with adults and children alike. With their expertise we learned about animals, cultures, and built family memories to last a lifetime.
Our accommodations and experience was top notch. We felt safe while seeing true bucketlist pars of the world.
While seeing the Big5, we saw and captured incredible pictures, saw more than 30 animals in their natural habitat without disrupting their land and habitat.
We met Messai people and saw their culture because of the connection our guides had with them.
The trucks had a refrigerated cooler for drinks and snacks, and all comforts were considered.
We will book with them again and reccomend them to other family and friends.

An unforgettable tailor made family vacation very well organized and with superb guide/driver
We started to plan our vacation more than one year in advance and from the very beginning Mary - from Blends of Africa - demonstrated her attention to our needs in all details. Not only providing various alternatives but also accurate and transparent quotations. As far as the guide who drove us through this one week adventure - namely Christopher Musau - he was really nice, enjoyable and super professional. We enjoyed his guidance which went beyond safari curiosities and his safe driving qualities. Thanks to Chris' "eagle eyes" we managed to spot unforgettable scenes in the savana and almost all the big 5! Tough during the initial phase of organizing this trip to Kenya we were pretty skeptical to go through direct contact in Kenya, after getting in touch with Mary, we gained confidence and trust on her professionalism and dedication. We really recommend Blends of Africa if you are planning to have a memorable "bite" of Kenya!

Professional and experienced safari company
Our safari was amazing. It was well communicated and organized from the first contact. The friendly and supportive team of African Big Cats Safaris was always available to assist from the first contact. Our guide Frank was really experienced, kind and respectful. We spent wonderful days in national parks and dreamy days in lodges. I highly recommend this company.

WONDERFUL!!!
f Botswana is a wonderland, visiting it with Safari Addicts was an unforgettable experience. From the first contact via WhatsApp with Alice, the varied and accurate information provided to help me decide on the trip, the warm welcome in Maun, the fantastic itinerary she designed according to my original idea, the professionalism and cordiality of the guide and driver Moses, and the other members of the logistics and support team—Tinty, Matts, Cedric, Raptor, and Angel—everything came together for the best result: a perfect safari.
A special mention for this, my first camping trip. Experiencing Okavango, Mabebe, Makgadikgabi, Savuti, and Chobe in the heart of nature is incredible, and while some might think that sleeping in a tent would be limiting, I assure you that's not the case at all. They do everything necessary and more to make you feel at home, but in the middle of paradise. I'm not a photographer, just a restless traveler who loves to snap away and capture the best images possible. And there, Moses, my guide, performed an invaluable task. He knows where to find and how to approach the large and small animals, the birds, and the most splendid specimens of the plant kingdom. With his eagle eye and his remarkable ability to navigate those narrow trails, those marshes and streams of the great Okavango wetlands, and even venture off-road, he allowed me to take some photographs that even I find astonishing. All credit to him.
The more than 22 hours of flying each way to reach Paradise were well worth it. I recommend Botswana, I recommend Safari Addicts.

Once-in-a-Lifetime Experience – Luxury Fly-In Safari
We experienced a fly-in safari across Namibia with Desert Air Africa Safaris and it was truly a once-in-a-lifetime journey.
If we had to describe Namibia in one word, it would be “amazing.” Even after just one week, we were captivated by the country's breathtaking landscapes, raw beauty and incredible diversity. This certainly won't be our last visit we would love to return and explore even more of what Namibia has to offer.
Traveling by Cessna 210 was an unforgettable way to experience the country. The flying itself was already an incredible experience one that we will never forget. Seeing Namibia's vast deserts, dramatic coastlines and endless wilderness from above gave us a completely different perspective and made the journey between destinations just as memorable as the destinations themselves.
In just one week, we journeyed from the spectacular Fish River Canyon to the rugged Skeleton Coast, taking in some of the most stunning scenery imaginable. Every destination offered something unique and the aerial views made the experience even more special.
A special thank you to our pilot, William, who did an outstanding job throughout the trip. He ensured that every flight was safe, comfortable and enjoyable while helping us make the most of this incredible adventure.
Namibia's untouched beauty and vast landscapes left a lasting impression on us, and we can only hope it remains as pristine and remarkable when we return one day.
