A wonderful experience, very well organised, helpful to solve problems and exquisite service
We looked mainly for nature and they offered us an itinary that fulfilled our expectations and also showed us the wonders of their culture and society. The company and advice of the guide and driver was great.
We are a small family of three and our child became a very good friend of them. A trip to repeat, no doubts

Best journey of our lives!
We had an extraordinary experience on our tour at all levels. The quality and comfort of the accommodation where we stayed far exceeded our expectations, from the facilities themselves to the friendliness and availability of the staff, as well as the meals that were served.
Still, our greatest thanks and recognition goes to our guide, Abraham. During all the time we spent together, Abraham was a friendly, patient, available, flexible and always highly dedicated presence to ensure that we had the best experience possible, on a trip that he knew we had wanted to do for a long time. Without him it would surely have been different.
We could hardly have been more satisfied with our trip, in every respect. In the future, we will definitely recommend this experience with soul of Tanzânia to our friends.
Thank you for all the support and availability in organizing the trip!

Longlasting Experience
A group of friends and I extended our trip to Arusha from Sanzibar did a 4days tour with Fahamu Safaris to visit the AMAZING Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire national park. Solomon arranged our safari on a very short notice and everything went perfect and exceeded our expectations. Our guide "Frank" is a professional with incredible eagle eyes - spotting wildlife from far away. All days He looked after us so well during the entire trip, making sure we had the best experience. Frank made sure that our fridge (in the Safari Jeep!) Was stocked full of drinks the entire time (he allowed us to put our other drinks). I would definitely recommend Fahamu Safaris if you need best and affordable safari in Tanzania. ASANTE SANA Solomon and Frank

Safari was special, I didn't experience such emotions before
I'd like to highlight 3 moments
1. What animals I've seen:
At Tarangire, we were lucky to see cheetah chasing after gazelle. Good shots. We watched lions too, but they were sleeping and chilling after meal. We also saw all common animals like giraffes, buffalo's etc.
At Ngorongoro we saw almostly the same common animals, but also a bit hippopotamus from the water, flamingos, bigger band of buffalos
and the landscapes was more magnificent.
2. About my guide Immanuel:
I liked scientific facts and magiс stories about animals and plants that Immanuel told us. I guess plenty of them I wouldn't ever get to know without him. Also, he was patient when we translated his speech for non-English speaker. He is responsible: was punctual and drove professionaly; easygoing, such good vibes.
3. About massai and monkeys.
I must warn you that Massai ask a lot of money for their souvenirs. As the guests we had a moral obligation to pay for it. So if you don't want to splash out, don't be afraid of negotiating or even refusing, because they are peaceful, nice people and shouldn't bother.
While having a lunch we faced cute monkeys. They wanted to steal all of our bananas, but our guide protected our loved bananas from them. He knows the "monkey-body language" which I find the funniest thing to watch and I have a good memories about it.
This journey definitely inspired me to learn more about Tanzania and Africa.

Five-star experience!¡
Karibu staff were friendly and helpful with a deep knowledge and passion for the subject of matter, therefore, we got to see the Big 5!¡!
They were all the time really attentive and caring, that's why I'd definitely recommend Karibu Safaris to my family and friends and to those Who want to life this experience with a fully trusted company.
This trip was one of the best memories I keep from Tanzania. Asante sana Karibu safaris

All family satisfied and happy
We booked a budget safari with Axis for our 5 persons family. We were guided and driven by Denis in an old Toyota (didn't buy an upgrade to jeep). The mastery with which Denis drove the car was really appreciable. Especially one tough part during game driving was not easy for 4wheels and they were sliding on the mud, our guide watched other cars, went outside to calculate something and drove through without even losing control like other cars. Impressive! We felt safe while driving on roads too. If you've never been to Kenya then you don't know what sort of horror is on its roads...
Denis was not too talkative but always very informative (and when I compered i formation from him to other guides' info, I could see it was reliable). We made a nice team together- he always listened to us when we wanted eg. stop for buying fruits.
And, the most important: we saw the big 5 and lots of other animals! It's amazing! Only the rhinoceros was not visible in Masai Mara, but our trip included lake Nakuru and there was a family of them that we observed rhinos as well as flamingos but these were not millions (maybe the wrong season?).
Overall great safari and finished with a trip to Masai village, which (after spending some time by the fire camp (Sidai Mara camping) with some of Masai) was a very nice surprise (not initially included in the trip).
Everyone from us was happy (even the teenager!!?)

Best safari we've taken. Most knowledgeable guide and fully customized tours.
My husband and my favorite vacation ever has been our safari with Capture Kenya. From the animals to the accommodations, everything about the trip was incredible!
Through traveling we’ve gotten to have a lot of really cool wild animal interactions, but nothing compares to our experiences on this 11 day Kenyan safari. We were less than 15 feet away from lions, cheetahs, leopards, elephants, rhinos, giraffes, zebras, hippos, ostriches, and dozens of other animals! There were wild elephants that walked right through our camp! It was incredible getting to see these amazing animals in their natural habitats. One of my favorite scenes was getting to see a baby cape buffalo learning to walk hours after being born! We told Capture Kenya the animals we most wanted to see and they planned a dream vacation around our preferences!
From start to finish, Capture Kenya made sure we had the best experience possible! They are a local Kenyan company who cares a lot about conservation and local Kenyan communities. What made our trip truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience was our guide (and the owner of Capture Kenya), Henry Gathura! Henry was the best tour guide we have ever had! He has more than 20 years of safari experience and knew exactly where to go for the best wildlife experience. My husband and I have since done other safaris and this was by far our favorite! In less than 2 weeks time, we were amazed at how much we learned and experienced! Henry seemed more like a lifelong friend than a guide.
Another highlight of ours were the accommodations. Capture Kenya does an amazing job of creating the perfect custom trip to match your preferences. The lodges we stayed at took “glamping” to a whole new level! Every place was so beautiful and right in the middle of the national reserves! Although we were living in luxury, we were surrounded by incredible wildlife! In addition to having elephants walk through our camp, at night we heard hippos, baboons, and even lions! From rhinos to zebras, we saw dozens of different animals right from our room! The food and staff of the lodges were also remarkable. It was definitely our favorite vacation ever!

Favorite Vacation Ever!
We booked an 11 day safari with Capture Kenya Expeditions and it was our favorite vacation! My wife and I enjoy traveling, but this trip stands out from among the rest. Capture Kenya thought of every detail and went above and beyond to make sure that we had the best trip possible. Capture Kenya is a locally owned and operated company who cares about conservation and sustainability and loves sharing about their beautiful country.
Within the 11 days, Henry (our guide and the owner of Capture Kenya) made us feel like we had gained a lifelong friend. We’ve had a lot of amazing guides through our travels, but Henry was by far our favorite. He went out of his way to think of every detail. From food, transportation, lodging, and animal interactions, Capture Kenya takes care of it all. At the end of our safari, he even had custom bracelets made with the American, Kenyan, and Mexican flag because those are the countries we are from, currently visiting, and currently live in! It meant so much that he would do something so personal for us.
The animals on our safari were incredible! We got to see elephants, rhinos, giraffes, lions, leopards, cheetahs, and dozens of other animals up close! Henry was an encyclopedia of animal knowledge. He has more than 20 years of safari experience and knew exactly where to go to see the most wildlife. Within 11 days, we saw more animals than I could have ever imagined! Our first game drive, we wanted to stop for every warthog and zebra that we saw. (Henry had so much patience and would stop every single time :) By the last day, we were driving past groups of elephants and giraffes without stopping because we had been blessed to see so many throughout our entire trip!
One of our favorite parts of the safari were the places that we stayed. The "tents" were more luxurious than many hotels, and the meals were the best we ate during our trip through Africa! While planning for our trip, we told Capture Kenya that we wanted to safely stay as close to the wildlife as possible and they definitely made that happen! At night we heard elephants, lions, hippos, hyenas, and baboons. From our rooms we saw elephants, rhinos, zebras, gazelles, antelope, warthogs, cape buffalo, baboons, and monkeys! We had elephants walk through our camp and monkeys running around the roof of our tent! I was amazed at how Capture Kenya Expeditions customized the entire trip to what we were hoping to experience - and it turned out even better than we could have ever imagined!
From picking us up from the airport in Nairobi to arranging our onward transportation to Tanzania at the end of our Kenya safari, Henry and Capture Kenya Expeditions thought of every detail. We can't say enough how much we loved our time and think that everyone should book a Kenyan safari with Capture Kenya Expeditions!

Best photo experts and safari guides!
We had an unbelievable day in Kruger National Park with Private Kruger Safaris. In one day we saw hundreds of elephants and giraffes! Other highlights were seeing hyenas and cubs walking around our safari vehicle. We saw the endangered African wild dogs feeding their pups! From a distance we saw a leopard with its kill lounging in a tree. But the biggest highlight of the day was watching lions hunting kudus and impalas. It looked like something straight out of National Geographic watching the lions stalk and run after their prey! Private Kruger Safaris did an incredible job of making sure we were in the right place at the right time!
If you are a professional or serious photo hobbyist, the owners of Private Kruger Safaris have another company B1 Photo Safaris that is focused on wildlife photography. We were so thankful for our incredible game drive and photos in Kruger National Park!
