A Memorable Trip to Kenya and Tanzania
Nico from Destination Consultants was very helpful and patient when arranging our trip to Kenya and Tanzania. We opted for a 12 day private guided tour whereby we had three different tour guides in that time. The first vehicle we travelled in from Nairobi from Tanzania was not great as the seats were so high and the windows were low so it was not great for motion sickness however the driver allowed me to sit in the front seat which was fine, the vehicle we had on our second leg was a proper safari vehicle which was great. The itinerary suggested was quite good although could have left out Lake Navaisha which had a few hand fed hippos out the back and that was it, so our time could have been better spent elsewhere. The accommodation overall was excellent except for Tukaone Camps in Serengeti which was below average. The camp itself was on a lean, the food was average and we did not have hot water until the day before we left. What made it more disappointing was that this camp was not where we were supposed to stay as I had requested to stay at another camp. Before undertaking this tour, we did a 16 day group tour through South Africa, Zimbabwe and Botswana which we did a variety a of activities such as hiking, canoeing into the delta and Safari drives. This particular tour only had safari drives for its activities which is perfect if it was the only place you were going in Africa but for us, we found the safaris became repetitious towards the end of the trip.

He was good but worried about the other jeeps instead of us so we didn’t see as much as the others

Great organisation and fulfilled wishes
Dealing with Joy was a real pleasure. She was very attentive and made sure that everything was in order. When I asked for some extras she didn‘t hesitate to fulfill my wishes. The communication was always 100%!

Knowledgeable, Experienced, Professional though friendly
My guide's name is Karanja. Very friendly and professional guy. Knowledgeable. He'll try his best to accommodate your requests. Kameraz is a good tour operator, reasonable prices i believe and good options for accommodation. For all those visiting Masai Mara, do insist on having your stay within the reserve or near Sekenani gate as it's much closer to the happening part of the reserve.

Personalised focus to match your Kenya holiday aims.
Having decided that we wanted to explore Kenya with its acclaimed wild life and pristine beaches, we made comms with Charles at Salina Wild Adventures who was very attentive and flexible in creating a bespoke 8 day tour of Kenya.
We took in the sights and sounds of Masaai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha and Diani Beach.
He offers a wide range of options and price points - be as precise as you can be and Charles will make it possible.
He took care of every detail and was very responsive.
The hot air balloon flight over the Mara will live with me forever!
Thanks Charles

Great tour to experience Kenyan wild life
Be prepared for some improvisation concerning logistics when joining a group tour but in the end, everything has been delivered and the program was respected. Communication was smooth as well. The safari itself was an excellent experience. Our driver was well experienced and patient, he provided the group with clear information. I loved the accommodation in a camp, it was simple but cozy. It allowed for bonding with other members of the groups so it's a great option of you're travelling alone. The tour offers good value for money and gives you a unique experience of the Kenyan wilderness.

Genuine, Reliable
We enjoyed ourselves tremendously. Thank You Indigo Safaris. Thank you specialist Judy Burrows! We reached out to Indigo Safaris via Safaris Booking platform owing to their (Indigo) various interesting itineraries.
Initially, there may be moments of hesitation- are they (platform and/or operator) reliable? genuine ? as we have read many adverse stories/experiences on bookings made online- specifically on terms of payments (of other platforms or operators / various countries).
However, we went along, and were we glad how responsive, genuine and reliable Safaris Booking, Indigo Safaris & Judy Burrows.
Response from Indigo Safaris was prompt. The itinerary was curated, Judy was swift in her replies, explanations / clarifications, changes can be made if needed- they were accommodating, as much as they are able to.
Personals/guides with us were all good, on time, approachable, friendly, courteous and we were safe. Transportation - good.
The hotels were charming- recommendations by Judy were spot on.
Viva to South Africa and Zimbabwe- exceeded expectations. Hospitality is commendable, equaling or more to other countries. Well done!
With wonderful memories of SA and Zimbabwe a huge THANK YOU to Judy Burrows, Indigo Safaris and Safaris Booking.
Genuine and reliable- safe to consider / place one’s bookings through the operator / platform.
Keep up the good work!

Experienced shuttle driver, ensured we got to and from our safari safely.
The driver was very experienced and friendly. He was very willing to answer any questions we had on the drive which made it informative. We were provided clear information re pick up from the airport bus terminal to get to safari. We did have to make contact to company regarding information for pick up but they were helpful.

Very happy with my experience!
Justus was an excellent driver, he made all the reservations for the activities for us, suggested nice places to visit that we enjoyed a lot and was all the time checking on us and being sure everything was good. He was very punctual and patient and flexible with us.
Great Lions is definitely a reliable company!
The car was good.
Just to mention something where they could improve: more detailed and technical info about the animals, and maybe having some binoculars in the car for the tourists use.

Amazing wildlife with a bush camp experience
Organising the safari with Walking Stick was easy. Our questions were quickly answered. Amazing wildlife throughout the 10-day camping safari. So many big cats. Our guide was brilliant, very knowledgeable, and funny, and we largely avoided the crowds. We had limited washing water at times, but our camp assistants did their best to provide for our needs in each of the five campgrounds. Highly recommended, particularly for those with a sense of adventure.
