Review about Lake Bogoria National Reserve by M S Ranganathan
We reached by 11AM and by that time bird life had gone quiet.

Massai Mara (fantastic game drive) - Zanzibar (the best vacations in my life)
At first i loved the trip, well worth it flight times!
About the tour operator "I Started in Africa" liked the monitoring of Helder throughout the logistics of reservations (flights, stays, visas, vaccines, etc.). Excellent!
About the trip was a dream, it was little short, but very rewarding.
Africa has civilization and a lot but a lot of poverty. I felt a lump in my throat several times ....
On safari, the best treatment possible, camp at LOYK MARA (nor should call camp for luxury;)), good food, good reception, loved the Masai tribe.
The guide of the best, always ready to help and clarify, good traveling companion!
Animals ... veryyyyyyyyyyyyyyy ..... the big five .... we saw almost all (except the rhino that is very hard to find) was a unique experience ... probably the only of its kind that I will have in life .. . the nature reserve of Masai Mara is huge with Kms out of sight, out of words to describe such a vast expanse of land and wildlife.
If something changed, yes, changed the hours of shipping out the nature reserve Masai Mara to Zanzibar ... it was a long day, really tiring. However, after waking up in Zanzibar the next day everything changes, that beach, sand, people, sea, sun, hotel ... a paradise ... I changed also stay in Nairobi .. in Confort Suites .... it was not the best ... the opposite.
Overall returning there for sure ... one day maybe ... by the same agency of course;)

We had a really great and unique Safari as we wanted to do it.
We went with Peacematunda on a 6-days-Safaritrip (Tarangire NP, Serengeti NP, Ngorongoro NP, Lake Eyasi with the Hadzabe) only we two of us. Everything was how we booked it before (from some poeple who went with other companies we heard that this is not normal). So we could really enjoy a maximum of our trip!!! The guide was excellent (more than 5 stars!!!) he showed us everything and knew really well how to organize such a trip!! The cook was very good too. So both made the safari to an once in a lifetime experience which we would love to do it again. Only the money transfer was a bit difficult. Further was the car not in such a good condition, but we really loved the style of it and the space in it.
Finally we can really recommend this company for a safari trip!

We had a great time. Simon was very helpful & our guide Gordon was excellent and we were lucky to see all of the Big 5 on our safari.

Well organized , efficient and readily Available.
Our travel coordinator , Eliya was very good. He was in constant touch with us before and during the trip. He was kind enough to accommodate our last min changes. We liked the places we stayed at. Out of all the places we enjoyed karama lodge in Arusha and kati kati camp in Serengeti. Our safari guide could speak English and Spanish which made communication convenient . He was flexible to work as per our schedule. Our schedule was booked actively as we wanted. From all the places we stayed " outpost lodge " was not average.
We were taken for local food which was very good. Through nature bound we got to experience variety.

The best quality-to-price ratio.
A fantastic safari for a reduced price. Only would improve the food in the camp.

The booking experience was great. The actual safari was excellent. Even the hotel stay was great. Thanks to John Maasai. We will be back.

Amazing honeymoon
The travel agency really pleasantly surprised us with nice hotels one after the other as we made our way along the garden route. They made it a point to put us up in different types of hotels e.g. Rustic, countryside, elegant, beach resorts, etc. For us to experience the different hospitality services that S Africa has to offer. They also told the hotels that it was our honeymoon and we were treated with such love!
Special mention goes to monique who handled our booking. She was flexible and made really good recommendations, open to changing our booking to address our last minute requirements. She was always friendly and prompt to reply and we were thankful for her high service standards.

a good African experience
I did a tour through Uganda with Matoke. This Ugandan-Dutch organisation gave me a great experience of this wonderful nation. The places we went to were well chosen, accomodation (budget) was generally well, the driver a wonderful man, but the communication between HQ and travellers / driver were not always 100% which could always be overcome, but gave some slight disappointments. Still, Uganda is a beautiful country which has a lot to offer, so if you'd like to discover more about it, Matoke is a good organisation to get in touch with.

Great experience !
We had a great time in Kenya and East Africa Shuttles make it possible. Also the communication whit Chris was very good, when we had a question when we were at home, he always answer directly. we are staying at Lenchada Tourist Camp and the people there did a great job. It was basic but very clean en the people are vey friendly.
If we come back to Kenya then we will book again by East Africa Shuttles.
We will thank everyone for doing a great job.
God bless you all.
