Extremely efficient and enjoyable day!
I booked this tour at the last minute when I unexpectedly had a free day during a business trip. The trip was confirmed and the company reached out to confirm the bus pick up at my hotel by text. They were there the next morning exactly on schedule. With very little wait time on arrival at the part we were transferred to a safari vehicle. The guide was terrific: friendly, knowledgeable, and informative. He went out of his way to cover a broad range of interests—animals, birds, insects, plants. Lunch was provided i a restaurant in the park and again the guide went the extra mile; taking all guests lunch orders directly to the kitchen to avoid having to wait for a very busy wait staff. We saw so many more animals that I had expected in a one day outing so close to the city. I highly recommend this if you are in Johannesburg and have a free day!

Knowledgeable and Efficient
We are at the end of our trip and waiting for our ride to the airport.
I wanted to say thank you for an amazing trip. We enjoyed it very much and everything worked out so well. I was impressed with the service providers that made sure we get from one place to another. We were never left to wonder what's happening.
The lodges were all amazing and the food delicious.
Thanks for making all the arrangements.

Wonderful!
We had a wonderful trip to Masai Mara. The guide was very knowledgeable and we got to see the big 5. Thank you Mamu Travels and Safaris.

Professionalism guaranteed
Our Safari has been incredible thanks to Isaya and William from Kihindo tours & safaris. I would like to start by saying that they always been very punctual, they even arrived 1 hour before to our hotel to start the Safari and pick us up. They do whatever they can to accommodate the clients and helped us out in different situations: the airline company lost our backpacks and they brought us to do a little bit of shopping to buy some clothes and they also drove us to the airport 2 days later to pick them up. They always did the extra mile for us and they have been extremely available. They are very knowledgeable about the animals and the culture in general and they were always very happy to answer to our questions in depth. We spent a lot of time together but they have never been intrusive. We appreciated their positivity, it was great to spend the Safari together. Also the price is unbeatable and the lodge we went in Selous was great. The communication was very easy and Isaya answered to us always within 2 hours. The car was comfortable, clean and reliable and Isaya is a very good driver and he know how to drive in the parks, even with mud. This Safari has been a success and we will remember it through the rest of our lives thanks to Kihindo.

Energetic, humorous, and knowledgeable
It was such a great experience. Super easy to book the reservation (via trip advisor). We were picked up from our hotel right on time. We saw so many animals (e.g., an entire colony of over 100 elephants up close) and the lunch served was really tasty. Great experience I over all.

Professional, on-time, dedicated, knowledgeable professionals.
Solo traveler traveling through Kenya, Elvis was top notch in building the trip plan for 10 days and understood my needs of seeking more adventure than leisure. He linked me up with Tony Cruize to be my main guide, words can’t express how great he was. Listened to the customer and what I wanted to do and adapted on the fly, was always there to make sure I was safe l, even hiked up a mountain with me, he didn’t have to. That’s how far he went to ensure I was safe and having a blast which I did. Book either Lulu or Tony for future Kenya trips and I promise you won’t be disappointed.

Patrick was very knowledgeable and charismatic
All of the camps and lodges were very nice. The food was amazing. We had plenty of time to see all the animals we wanted to and to enjoy the scenery.

Tour guide went over and above
David collected us from the airport late at night to deliver us to our hotel. Lovely, chatty and informative about Nairobi.
The following morning Eliud collected us from the hotel (next time will stay there longer!) and we drove to Aberdare National Park. Such an easy man to talk to!
After a night at The Ark, drove to Lake Nakuru where local knowledge and experience showed. Such a variety of animals to see, way beyond expectations! Wonderful experience before driving to Masai Mara.
Eliud’s experience here showed and although the Big Five remained elusive we saw and experienced so much.
I had an allergy difficulty where there and although Ruphina had kept in touch, when I described what had happened I got a 4 word reply. The contents of the Safari lunch all had allergens of mine in them, I had an apology from the hotel, but didn’t eat lunch as didn’t want to end up using my epi-pens in such a remote area. I did expect more concerning a potential life threatening event - less safe than being parked next to hyenas and lions!
Glad we took a Safari vehicle, well worth it in Masai Mara as many routes we took would’ve been unavailable.
Now need to start saving pennies to return!

Amazing Mikumi National Park tour with John and Julius!
John answered every question we had prior to the safari and was very accomodating as well! The safari at Mikumi National Park was nothing short of magical. Our driver Julius was perfect with accessing our demands, make us happy and teaching us about Tanzania. He also is a very safe driver on the road, respectful of nature and animals, and is patient as well.
We needed ferry tickets to Zanzibar and john gladly arranged it for us!
Would recommend 100% booking with this young company going above and beyond to make their clients happy!
Book with ease.

6 days of life in a documentary
As a solo traveller joining an open group on a 6 day safari, I had a fantastic experience with Enticing Journeys. Our guide Hozza was not incredibly knowledgeable and a sharp spotter of wildlife, but also flexible and funny. The range of landscapes across the four parks made each sighting different and unique. Having more time also meant it was easy to keep an expansive, curious and un-rushed mindset. Highly recommended!
