They are professional, client focused, and lovely!
My partner and I came from Australia and when we first started speaking with Antonia she was professional and extremely helpful. We had 100 questions and she was always happy to answer and speak on the phone! Our accomodation was incredible, she did a great job booking us in! We were picked up by Elly and he started the trip off with great vibes and was super friendly. We had Gift as our guide and he was warm, professional, fun and very intelligent. He knew everything about the animals and we constantly were learning about the animals and the environment. He always made sure we were safe and was an excellent driver! He took amazing care of the car and we always had lots of drinks and food along the way.
If you are thinking of Safari go with these guys!

Stressful Experience with WildTrek Safaris Kenya - Not Recommended
I visited Kenya for a week in Dec 2025. The experience was extremely stressful and frustrating.
1. Apart from the driver, there was no contact information of any WildTrek Kenya representative provided to us. All communication was done through the driver.
2.The safari vehicle provided was a poorly maintained one when compared to other safari tour operators. I saw other vehicles from other operators that were better in cleanliness and comfort.
3. Driver was rude, and even demanded USD 10 per day tip. I thought tips were a measure of appreciation for the good service provided and not mandated.
4. I was asked to pay USD 300 extra for holiday season surcharge ( @ USD 25 per person per day of the trip ). My India agent blamed WildTrek, WildTrek blamed the hotels, and the hotels said they never asked.
5. When I was trying to negotiate the USD 300 surcharge with my India travel agent, WildTrek threatened to cancel the safaris if the money was not paid in cash immediately.
6. When I asked the driver that I wanted to speak to a WildTrek representative, he said they are not picking his calls. Whether they really did not pick or if this driver did not even call anyone is something I dont understand.
Please do not book with WildTrek unless you want your holiday to be a stressful harassment. I never enjoyed my vacation.

Incredible and exuberant safari.
Going on a safari was one of our wishes, and we chose Tanzania because of its higher density of wildlife. It was an incredible 5 days, with exotic and lush nature and lots of adrenaline. We saw the big animals, known as the "Big Five," and all the other animals of the African fauna up close from the car. It was totally worth it!!! It's a destination that provides a deep connection with wild nature.
Rosemery was always attentive and answered all our questions when we were finalizing the safari package. Mountain Warriors Tours is perfect for making your destination unforgettable. The driver-guide was always attentive and explained every detail of the tour, the animals' lives, and the chef made super tasty food. I highly recommend the company. The safari ended in the late afternoon, and at night we were going to take a bus to Dar Es Salaam. They took us to their company until it was time for the bus, and they even bought our tickets. Super helpful company ❤️

Excellent safari trip!
Splendid Vacations delivered an excellent safari experience in Kenya! The trip was well organised and full of incredible wildlife sightings throughout. Our drive guide, Masila, was the best, knowledgeable, friendly, and amazing at spotting animals. Highly recommend for anyone planning a safari!
Outstanding
Booking arrangements were all done via WA with constant feedback. Mary and the staff are very professional.
The Safari was well organized and Mateo our guide provided execelent service by keeping the group updated and went the extra mile to view our demanding list of nature, i.e. Lion cubs, Cheetah cubs, Leopard Cups and a Black Rhino... among our demands.
Thank you for an awesome experience and anove standard service received.

It was fun
I had a great time. I saw many carnivorous drivers in Masai Mara, which not only helped us to guide the way accurately, but also helped us to protect animals better.

Serious and reliable tour operator
We booked a 11-days tour of Uganda with Big Apes.
The communication with the office and the organization of the trip have been easy and fast, we changed our itinerary several times and they have been very kind. It has been an incredible experience, made also better by the presence of Ben, our guide. He is extremely organized and always on time, he knows pretty well these places, he gave us explanations about everything, always curious and chatting.
There have been some issues with payments during our stay (due to connection problems using “MoMo”; in fact we have already suggested to give the guides a prepaid credit card) so we had to anticipate money already paid, but they refund us immediately the day after.
Accommodations were as we expected and as we paid for. In every situation we have always felt safe.
We think that the passione they put in their job is an added value that made us feeling in a family, so we recommend this tour operator.
If we come back in future, we will definitely choose “Big Apes” and Ben again.
