Not bad
Nancy introduced herself under my post on couchsurfing. She did a good job on communicating with customers. I like her, and her second hairstyle!
The accomodation in this tour is quite good, the hotel room next to Nakuru Lake is very clean, with wifi. The camp is not bad!! Especially after the Danakil Depression tour in Ehtiopia, I was so impressed by the condition in Kenya safari. Don't get me wrong, I am not saying Danakil depression isn't good, actually, it's so good, just not so touristy. Here in Nancy's tour, I like the accomodation, the food( very good), the company.

Wonderful experience. Good and gracious people who cared about our experience, highly recommended!
Tarangire. Lake Manyara. Ngorongoro. The Serengeti. We saw so much in just the first two days at Tarangire and Manyara it could have been enough, but YOU must see the rest with Northern Circuit. They were well organized. The first day our driver was at the hotel early to pick us up on time. Before setting out we met briefly with the director who explained the entire 6 days so we knew what to expect. The vehicle was clean and equipped with 110 outlets so no worries about camera batteries running out, or cell phones :) Our driver and chef were very courteous and accommodating which makes these types of adventures so much better. Our driver was very knowledgeable and was able to answer our questions about the various species of birds and other animals, plants, etc. Also, he had a keen eye and was able to spot or find wild life to assure we got our fill of great nature and wild life. The campsites were well-kept and cozy, whether we were in a covered tent at the camping grounds, or in a bush tent in the Serengeti. They set everything up for us, and the food was remarkable. Fresh fruit, coffee, tea every morning along with a different meal every day. Hats off to our chef for a job well done. While there are many operators in and around Arusha and Moshi, Northern Circuit provided all the comforts we expected with very personal care, we didn't feel like a number or as if we were being rushed through. Because I'm very meticulous about making plans for such a big trip, I had been communicating with the director, Michael, up to a month before our trip. He was very responsive to my many email and text message inquiries, usually responding within 8-10 hours with a 9 hour time difference! I do admit, we contacted a few other operators, but Michael's responsiveness and level of details with our arrival in Nairobi, and advice guiding us through the process of getting to Arusha, convinced me that Northern Circuit was the right operator and we do not regret it one bit. I have members of my family wanting to safari now, so for sure we will use Northern Circuit in the future! Thank you guys for the wonderful time that will stay with us for ever. Best wishes, Martin and Ella.

Budget and pocket friendly
From our very first conversation with Frank, our experience was superb. Having never been to Africa before and with two young girls age 4 and 6 we were apprehensive, thank you and we recommend you any day

Great experience
We had a really good experience with this agency! I would reccomend to anyone. The trip was organized as we wanted. We did one week safari for a really good price and we enjoyed all the parks that we've visited. Our guide Tom was really profesional and super nice with us! We've been lucky and we managed to see all the animals.
Also Edwina has been always avaliable to answer all our questions.

Masai joy
Thank's Simon and Roman for making my 3-day trip to Lake Natron to a
road of joy. One of the highlights was the meeting with all the friendly Masais.
Climbing Oldonyo Lengai with my masai guide Ringa starting in the middle of
night was the greatest. I recomend it to all with good shape.

Our experience was amazing no words to describe it.
First a massive thank you to Paul the owner and Peter our driver , My son still call your name (Peter) .
At first we didn't know what to expect considering we were on budget Safari but Paul did an amazing job booking our trip.the camp was not appealing to the eyes when we got there but it turned out to be the best budget camp ever with amazing and caring staff ready to assist .We were lucky to see all the big Five at Maasai mara national park .
My husband loved sitting outside Lenchada camp with Maasai and just watch the star .
We will come back again.

Excellent Staff, Good Company
We went on a 6 day safari with Ilmaasai. Our driver Bryson and cook Osman were most accommodating and did everything they could to make our trip great. We saw plenty of animals and were happy with this company. It is locally owned as well, we were happy that our money went to support the local people and not a foreign company.

A memorable Safari
My wife and I booked the 3-day Panorama Safari which included Tsavo East and West. Steve delivered exactly what we wanted at the price agreed upon and we had a great Safari experience. We particularly enjoyed the small intimate lodges that Paul arranged for us. Particularly memorable was the Rhino Valley Lodge in Tsavo West. This lodge has great rooms, views of the water hole and the food was excellent. The staff were also very friendly. These lodges were much superior to the large impersonal ones we stayed in during our Tanzania Safari. Our driver and guide Peter Kimani was also excellent. We saw lot of animals in both parks although Tsavo east was probably a bit better. We unfortunately did not see any Rhinos but that did not detract from the overall experience.
In the future we are going to arrange a safari to Maasai Mara and when that time comes I will be contacting Steve to handle the arrangements.
