VERY good value for money with dedicated staff
we had a four day safari to the Maasai Mara and Lake Nakuru.
In particularly the Maasai Mara was most impressive - and our guide, Joshua, was super!
He stayed in constant communication with other guides and ensured we got the most of the game drives.
Options were a boat trip on Lake Naivasha and a visit to a genuine Maasai village - we did both and it truly enriched our experience!
The accommodation at Maasai Mara was good, whereas the hotel in Nakuru was very basic.
The package included food, which was ample and we enjoyed the local flavors very much!
overall a tour operator definitely to be recommend!
When back in Kenia we will use them again.

Wonderful area the Masai Mara, many animals, good tents, good people.
We had seen the pictures of the camp-place, tents, beds and bathroom were very good. The Masai people and employees were very friendly and protective during our stay. During the four days of safari we have seen many animals and there was time to observe them in peace. The breakfast, lunch (also the one we had for a picknick) and evening meal was good, not an overload of food, and we had the choice between vegetarian, meat or fish. The different kind of sounds from all the birds and animals in the park made that we really were on a safari. Especially in the morning the birds were singing lovely songs. We had a walking tour with a Masai and learned about the trees and bushes and how we could use the leaves and branches. We rested at the deck and saw from our chair more than 23 giraffes walking peacefully.

Very positive experience
I had a great safari experience provided by Dana East Africa Safaris. The transportation, resort, tour guide, and meals were included for the 3-day event. The only down side was that I was in Kenya when I booked the event and they did not accept a credit card. I was able to work around the issue and had a great experience!

Comfortable arrangement to Serengeti!
We booked our 4 days safari with Trip Advisor Africa Safaris. Seth Vincent arranged everything as we had asked him to arrange and promptly replied to every email that was sent to him. The airport pick up to drop off was smooth and well arranged. The safari to Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro was really amazing and well organised. we had a very good driver Ziggy and chef Alifa, both very knowledgeable and amazing cook respectively. Special thanks to director Vincent for arranging a pick up of our lost luggage that arrived couple of days later. It was truly a great help for picking up our lost luggage and keeping it safe until we arrived back from our 4 days safari. Also special thanks to make sure all our requests were fulfilled, like arranging halal food, hotel pick up and drop off,etc. All in all, you can book these guys for your visit to African safari and they will make sure you have a memorable trip with them.

Compliments for a wonderful trip
Did a safari with Keldonk safaris, the prices are recomendable, the driver Hassan went to all lengths to make sure that we saw all the animals we needed to see. The attention and care the tour safari gives is remarkable. Thanks Julius for the perfect arrangement.

An amazing experience!
I thoroughly enjoyed my trip to Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe. The people I met were friendly and the scenery was stunning. I was more than happy with both the accommodation and food, although a couple of times our accommodation changed. It would have been good to be closer to Sossusvlei to avoid such an early start, however I cannot fault the accommodation we had.
John Cooper looked after us extremely well and went out of his way to ensure that all was satisfactory.
Highlights of the trip included morning, afternoon and evening game drives (with G & Ts if desired), game walks, the animal sightings - including a pangolin, bat-eared foxes and an aardwolf, accommodation at 'The Fort' and the Pangolin tours.
I wouldn't hesitate to travel with African Adventures Safari Company again.

Pleasant and Carefree Safari with Relaxed and Expert Guidance
One of the reasons for us to choose Bella Africa was the idea that they only work with female guides. When a male guide showed up in our Entebbe Hotel on the starting day of our safari we were unpleasantly surprised. Bella seems to have intended to tell us that our female guide was not available but for technical reason the message did not reach us. During the 15 days of our safari Ben Aloysius Kyenyune (our guide) proved to be a nice guy and a good and expert safari guide. We have visited beautiful places and saw a great number of animals. We especially enjoyed the tranquility at some remote locations, like Kidepo NP. The accommodation was quite simple but good. Recommended!

It was all that I hoped for...and more.
I had a wonderful 7 day safari. I spent two nights at a nice, very friendly hotel in Nairobi before starting the tour. I spent one day with one of the drivers on an excellent city tour. The next day the safari started. I went To Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru, and Ambroseli. We stayed in comfortable places. I am a vegetarian and I was pleased with the meals. The drivers were all very competent and I met nice people. Before the trip I was expecting to be with the same driver and the same group for the 7 days. Instead I had 4 different drivers and 5 different configurations of people, but it was just fine. All the drivers were excellent and I met a lot of nice people. Baboon Budget did everything possible to see that I had my entire program. I would certain recommend the company to other people who are interested in learning about the area and want to see the animals where the animals belong.

The experience was just perfect. Wonderfull Experience...
The experience was just perfect. All the hotels that were listed and recommended by Its starts in Africa were good and especially Mahali Mzuri. We have appreciated a lot the interaction that we had with (i) the team of Its starts in africa but also with the guide, the staff of the hotel and the local people.
Thank you again for all the arrangements and looking forward to talk for a new adventure
Best regards
