7 Day: Nairobi-Maasai Mara-Nakuru -Amboseli-Tsavo East-Diani
Kennedy arranged our fantastic week long trip to 4 national parks, was patient answering questions and helped to arrange train tickets for our trip back from Mombasa; we highly recommend Bienvenido Tours. We decided on taking this trip just a month before leaving, therefore it was not surprising that two of the hotels turned out to be unavailable, but Kennedy found good replacements.
This kind of tour requires a lot of time on the road between parks - driving through countryside and towns is fascinating as well, but be prepared for many hours on highways and very bumpy roads. It was therefore all the more pleasant to have a great guide and person, John, along for the ride. You are doing yourself a great favor if you ask for him and he's available; he made all the difference.
One change that I would recommend, when in Nakuru, ask to stay somewhere else than the Buraha Zenoni Hotel. It's not so much because it's not nice, but that it's just a hotel and seemed the odd place out compared to the wonderful lodges we otherwise stayed in.

Unreliable
We had booked and paid for a five-day safari, including two nights in the Serengeti. However, we only stayed in the Serengeti for the first of the booked nights. We had to spend the following night in heavy rain, in a musty-smelling camping tent, with damp bedding, at the Ngorongoro Crater. The agency had confirmed in writing in advance that we would only be sleeping in houses and not in tents, so we didn't have any camping equipment with us. We're definitely not sensitive, but this is unacceptable! Our complaints were dismissed by the agency with excuses, and we felt they didn't take us seriously. Furthermore, our safari guide was not customer-friendly and showed little interest in us. Fortunately, on the last day, we were assigned a different safari guide, who was very good. This was a coincidence, however, as the original guide had to return to the city on short notice. As compensation, we were only offered a trip to a waterfall in the Arusha/Moshi region after the safari, which we found completely inadequate and therefore declined. One star is awarded for the excellent food on the safaris and for the guide on the last day of the safari. Another for the houses where we stayed. The parks and the wildlife are wonderful, but the aforementioned circumstances unfortunately spoiled the tour for us.

Good service
My trip to Rwanda was a great experience with my tour guides Sufiani and Taufique. They provided excellent service throughout my trip. Sufiani always shared knowledge about the many mountains in Rwanda.

Reliable, friendly, and professional
Marurumi Safaris - is a company in Kenya that provided us with unique experiences with its deep knowledge and love for landscapes and wildlife.
We traveled many miles in a sturdy Land Cruiser with comfortable seats and great visibility through a large sunroof.
We visited four different national parks (Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, and Amboseli (with a view of Kilimanjaro), and each park had its unique features with different landscapes and wildlife. Our driver took us around safely and was always punctual at the agreed times.
Very pleasant and skilled guide.
We were accommodated in different lodges with high standards for rooms, service, and dining.
Marurumi Safaris worked with us to tailor the trip. Very professional planning.
Safe pick-up/drop-off at the Nairobi airport, transport to all excursions (including a balloon safari), train tickets to Mombasa/Nairobi. Everything worked perfectly.
This became a lifelong memory and a great experience for us.
Many thanks to Marurumi Safaris. We highly recommend you.

Lewa Wildlife Conservancy
Lewa Wildlife Conservancy is a gem for anyone looking to see rhinos in their natural habitat. Nashibe team arranged everything perfectly, and we were able to enjoy game drives, bush walks, and even horseback safaris. The conservation work being done here is inspiring, and the luxury lodge we stayed in was exceptional.

The best
The trip was incredible. From the first moment I asked for information, Hamisi responded very quickly and was always attentive and focused on everything we wanted to do. We used a tour already on his website as a base, and we asked him to add or remove things. He was always very kind and accurate with our requests, until we finally got the tour we wanted. Our guide, Ramadan, spoke Spanish, as we requested. Ramadan knew a lot about animals and gave us very interesting information at all times. Kindu, the other guide, was very skilled at finding animals; he has a lot of experience and shared many experiences and things he's seen in his years as a guide.
We visited Tarangire National Park, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Conservation Area, a cultural tour in Mto wa Mbu, a bike ride in Arusha National Park, and finally, we went to Zanzibar. Overall, the accommodations were very nice and the meals were delicious. We managed to see the Big 5, as well as a lioness hunting a wildebeest, a pride of lionesses with their cubs, lionesses eating a wildebeest, numerous elephants, giraffes, hippos, warthogs, ostriches, cheetahs, leopards, zebras, wildebeests, impalas, flamingos, hyenas, and many birds.
It was the most beautiful experience I've ever had. I highly recommend See Endless Adventures as your agency for enjoying Tanzania.

Excellent experience with this company on a two-day safari to Tarangire and Ngorongoro
I solicited a number of offers and choose Informative African Tour because the owner Mr Gift communicated so well and I felt in good hands immediately. The price was competitive as well. The experience confirmed my first impression. Throughout the tour Mr. Gift watched over me and was always within reach when anything would come up. We saw so much wildlife, and the accommodation that Mr Gift had recommended was amazing. So, overall an excellent experience. I'm so glad I chose Informative African Tour and strongly recommend this company. I will come back for a longer tour to Serengeti.
