Amazing experience
Esther at Starvel Safaris planned the best trip ever! She made sure everything was perfect from the moment we arrived till we said goodbye. And our guide, Francis, was incredible! He knew so much about the animals in Amboseli, Naivasha, Nakuru, and Maasai Mara.
We stayed in awesome places near all the parks, thanks to Esther. She took care of every little thing, especially our food! Francis was like a superhero—driving for hours and then taking us on an exciting game drive. He was funny, kind, and made the trip awesome for all of us. I totally recommend them!"

Went on a 7 day Safari to 4 national parks with Spirit of Kenya. It was absolutely fabulous.
Spirit of Kenya Safaris made us feel like treasured company. With just 2 of us in one vehicle, our Kenyan guide & driver felt more like a friend than a tour operator. The drive down the highway towards Mombasa was an adventure in itself, getting familiar to how everyone uses all parts of the road. When we arrived in Amboseli National Park, the first thing I saw was an elephant under a shady umbrella acacia tree. Classic stuff. Further along, a big male elephant gave chase, with us amazed at how close he came. We saw such a wide range of animals with our guide detailing each animals traits & reproductive cycles. The drought broke the evening we arrived & the savanna turned green in a day. The Lodge accommodation was really good, as was all the food & staff service. Everyone was so nice & well mannered & smiling. The Maasai are a happy & proud people.
The conversion from US dollars to the Kenyan Shilling was crazy low, so food & drinks were very inexpensive, so I was happy to tip well.
Leaving the view of Mt. Kilimanjaro with its snow cap, we travelled up the highway again and into the Rift Valley, heading to a Lodge at Lake Naivasha, then onto Lake Nakuru National Park. Again, all the staff at these places were wonderful, as was the food & drinks. It mostly rained at night, giving us fresh & clear days to explore for animals, of which there was in abundance. Giraffes, gazelles & antelopes, zebras & gnus, elephants & hippos, Lions & hyenas, warthogs & rhinos .. and some amazing bird life as well, so yeah - ostriches & flamingos, etc.
Our wonderful guide & driver looked after us very well. There were no problems at all considering the miles we travelled and we also got to see the communities or villages along the highways, with their cattle or goats grazing right alongside the roadways, always with a young or old Maasai on guard. Our last few days were spent down in the Maasai Mara, close to the Tanzanian Serengeti Plains. The recent rains had turned the plains green, so there were animals in abundance, many with new born calves or cubs, etc. We saw a cheetah with 4 healthy young ones.! We had some amazing close encounters with lions while we were there as well. This 7 day Safari tour was something to remember forever .. and I have the photos & videos to prove it.

Perfect and caring
We went on safari tours for our honeymoon. During our 4-day safari tours, Solomon, the guide, took such a good care of us and had a great deal of knowledge about wildlife animals. It was such a wonderful time not only because it was a honeymoon but we could see Zohar safari staffs’ efforts in almost every part of the tour. We will definitely choose Zohar safari again whenever we have another chance to plan our safari tours. I also highly recommend Zohar safari for its exceptionally timely and punctual manner especially when it comes to communication.

Reliable Responsible local tour operator for Zimbabwe
My traveling companion and I booked a memorable diverse 12 day tour through the heart of Zimbabwe from Victoria Falls to the capital, Harere. Basically, this was a customized tour including safaris (many lions and rhinos!) , tours of the archeological sites of Khami and Great Zimbabwe, a visit with a delightful village family and a school. In eastern Zimbabwe, the National Parks afforded us the opportunity to zipline and do some hiking while enjoying the waterfalls. While driving through the mountains the scenery was wonderful. The tour company was extremely responsive over the several months it took us to plan and tweak this tour for the things we particulaly wanted to do. My questions were answered promptly and clearly which was a high priority for me. This is a local Zimbabwe company which conducted itself very professionally throughout the planning and execution of the tour. The guide was accommodating and generally flexible during the day to day options we had within reasonable parameters of time considerations etc. The tour totally met my expectations and I would not hesitate to book with them again.

Review about Masai Mara National Reserve by Nomita M.B.
I was impressed with the variety of wildlife we were able to see, more than only the big 5, including baby animals.

Beautiful and kind
My trip met my expectations, it went as expected. I took the 3 day safari to Kruger National Park, it may take about 5 days. I also visited the Pilanesberg national park, it is highly recommended, it is easier to see wildlife in this place than in Kruger. Thanks to Viva safari and Moafrika for making these experiences possible.
