Review about Aberdare National Park by Rich Vliet
In Aberdare, we stayed at the Ark lodge. The ark is unlike anywhere else we went to - once you arrive, you are locked in until the next day. The lodge is surrounded by wildlife, and there are several viewing decks from which to see them. I'm glad this was the first location we went to - I think it would not compare to the parks we went to later on in the safari, but for a first night outside of Nairobi it was a lot of fun. The food and drinks were very good, and the wildlife viewing was very good as well - you can get very close to the animals on the lower level of the lodge. A good first night - I would recommend it as a way to start a safari.

Lots of elephants and views of Mt. Kilimanjaro at Amboseli National Park
Amboseli had a very large number of elephant herds in addition to the scenic backdrop of Mt. Kilimanjaro. Fortunately, the mountain was clearly visible each afternoon we were there, providing some great photo-ops with the wildlife in the foreground. While not the largest park we encountered in Kenya, it was still very big and provided a fairly diverse range of wildlife (from elephants, hippos, zebra, hyenas and lions) as well as topography. We hiked up Observation Hill for a very nice view of Kilimanjaro. Our accommodations were at Amboseli Sentrim Camp which was very nice for both our room and food. Our Kenyan driver was fantastic (provided by Vintage Africa Tours), and his knowledge of the area was extensive.

3 days and 2 nights Masai Mara
Although the beginning of the safari was not as we had discussed (more people in the 4x4 van than was promised), the overall experience was good. The driver knew what he was doing and the itinerary was as discussed. After the safari Esther from the office was waiting for us at the drop off point and apologized for the problems at the start of the safari. She explained that it was due to the high season that there were too many bookings and not enough van so some groups had to be combined. We really appreciated that she took the time to hear our complaints and explained her side of the story in person.

Tarangire NP
My daughter and I didn't want to do a long safari. We wanted to do two or three days in Northern Tanzania. A friend recommended Dahlia Tours. We communicated with Aron and Brian by email before arriving in Tanzania. Aron provided us with a lot of information on short safaris. A lifetime dream of mine was to see Baobob trees. We decided on Tarangire. We had a marvelous time. Our guide Bryce was very knowledgeable and entertaining. Our second day was spent at Mt. Kilimanjaro's NP. We spent the day with our guide Paschal wading at the bottom of waterfalls, participating in roasting and grinding coffee beans which we brewed and enjoyed. We are looking forward to our next trip to Tanzania. The guys at Dahlia Tours took very good care of us like we were family.

2 Weeks in Kenya and Tanzania!
We just returned from a 2-week trip to Kenya and Tanzania organized by Beatus from Chels Travels! While planning the trip, Beatus was patient and informative. We had limited time and we wanted to make the most of it and Beatus made that possible.
The trip itself was definitely memorable and we had a great time in both countries! In Kenya, we had Tony as our guide and he was absolutely wonderful and I can't recommend him enough! We had multiple guides in Tanzania and Beatus to make sure we were taken care of during our stay. Beatus was an excellent guide---he was really informative about the animals, the various sites, and the local culture! We did have some minor issues in Tanzania but, as soon as we spoke to Beatus, he did his best to address them right away and made sure we were happy.
All in all, it was a wonderful experience and the quality of service and attention that we received from Beatus was more than what we expected and it was greatly appreciated!

Trip of a life time
This was a trip of a lifetime. Mr OT's communication via email was fantastic from day one. He replied to all my questions and concerns. The driver was waiting for us at the airport even though our plane was over an hour late. All of the drivers were more than helpful. The accommodation was great. I would definitely book with them again for my next African safari.

Just stunning
Kruger is a piece of Africa's heart. There are a lot of wild animals that are easy to spot, including mammals, birds and reptiles. I saw at least once a day lions, leopards, elephants, kudu, rhino, hippo, cebra, wildebeest and plenty of different species of bird. In addition, the landscape is awesome, specially the sunset, you can take amazing pictures.
The accomodations, shops and restaurants are really good.
I recommend to avoid weekends because there are too many people.
