Excellent experience
We had an excellent experience with swbtravels. Simon is a skilled driver and demonstrated outstanding knowledge of wildlife, consistently finding animals and positioning the vehicle perfectly to allow for great photography opportunities. His understanding of animal behavior and the terrain made every game drive both productive and enjoyable.
Simon was reliable and always punctual, which we greatly appreciated. Communication was quick, clear, and straightforward from the very beginning. He responded to our questions promptly and accommodated our wishes whenever possible, while remaining realistic and never promising anything he could not deliver.
The safari vehicle was clean, well-maintained, and comfortable. The overall organization was very professional: the offer was clear and concrete, without empty promises, and he implemented the agreed program meticulously and exactly as discussed.
Beyond his professionalism, he was also very friendly, approachable, and pleasant to spend time with, which made the whole safari even more enjoyable.
Thank you very much for this wonderful experience â we would gladly go on safari with Safari Without Borders again anytime. Highly recommended! đđŠ

I have been on safari tours in Tanzania three times, and the tour with this agency was the best!
I highly recommend it. I have been on safari tours in Tanzania three times, and the tour with this agency was the best!
In my previous experiences, the other two tours had several issuesâespecially with punctuality. They were late, and I ended up wasting more than three hours of my time. However, with Meru Slopes Tours, everything was perfect and went very smoothly. They are also very punctual and truly prioritize customer service.
Thank you so much for your excellent service, especially Mr. Tembo Gift (Manager), Mr. Patrick (Guide), and Mr. Buga (Chef). They are all very professional and helpful.
Even though it was a holiday and not related to safari matters, they still actively helped resolve an issue I experienced while staying in the Arusha area.
Donât waste your time and money on other unverified tour agencies (I say this from personal experience). If you want to ensure a great travel experience, choose this reliable agency.

They made our dream come true
Thamia and Shoes,
Thank you so much for making our safari a dream come true.
We loved every moment of the experience, from the wildlife sightings to the accommodations. We especially appreciated the knowledge Shoes shared with us about the nature in your beautiful country. We felt very safe and well looked after throughout the trip.
We could not spot all the animals on our own, Shoes was amazing in taking us to the right places where we could see leopards, lions, elephants, wild dogs....so many different animals that we could not even imagine!!
Our kids loved exploring and getting to know about the animals, plants and culture with Shoes. Our son keeps saying he will be back and work with Shoes in the future!!!
Thamia helped us organise the safari based on what was important for us, we chose staying inside the National Park to be able to leave in the early morning and already spot all sort of animals.
Our adventure far exceeded our expectations, and we will cherish these memories forever. Thank you again for everything.

Amazing Safari Experience
We had a wonderful experience over the past two to three days. Our guide, Dennis, was professional and kept everything well-organized, which made the whole trip smooth and stress-free.
He is very easy to get along with, friendly, and patient, always paying attention to our needs. Dennis is also very experienced and took us to see many amazing animals, making the trip memorable.
Most importantly, he is the safest driver I have seen in Africa, very reliable and trustworthy. He is also very punctual, always on time, which we really appreciated.
We felt well taken care of throughout the entire journey. Highly recommend Dennis and Flash McTours. Also a huge thank you to Peter for organizing the trips for us.

Initial reasonable price comes at a cost - an uncomfortable experience
Pre-trip communication was top notch from Tracy.
As expected on any and all safaris in the Masai Mara / Serengeti - we saw everything we expected to (except Rhino) - but that's a given, that's why people travel from all over the globe to this place. So I'll not focus on what we saw but the rest of our experience.
The cost of the safari which included a one night stay in a camp site near the Masai Mara was about $1560 for 3 people.
I initially thought the price was reasonable, but the quality of the vehicle was really poor (super uncomfortable, poor leg room, leaked / poured water when raining in multiple places simultaneously) and the camp site was awful (food, bed comfort, service - all of it).
Whilst the driver / guide was friendly and somewhat knowledgeable, we did have to hold him to account a few times. E.g. he told us to have breakfast in the campsite at 0530 ready to leave at 0630 (service is very slow so you do need to leave an hour for a greasy omelette). Half asleep we were there at 0530 and ready to leave 0625, which is when he strolls in and sits down to order his breakfast. We had to tell him "We're ready to leave, we were up at 0430 packing and here for breakfast an hour ago ordering and eating like you told us, but now you want us to wait an hour for you to order and eat? No, not happening sorry, let's go". This kind of attitude just sours the experience, although he took this well without complaint / attitude, it's just unnecessary. Be professional and remember this is a once in a life time experience for most.
Given how affordable both accommodation and vehicle hire is in Kenya (especially in low season when we went), I think $1500+ for a one night trip is too pricey. Had a more appropriate vehicle been provided, and had the accommodation felt less one star and more three star, I think it'd make a vast difference.
In a nutshell, I would not recommend this experience.

A Dream 5 Day Safari Journey with Incredible Game Drives, Knowledgeable Guide and Outstanding Care
Choosing Wildebeest Footsteps Adventures for our 5-day safari was the best decision we could have made. The entire experience was seamless, from booking to the final day. The team was responsive, helpful, and clearly dedicated to providing an exceptional safari experience.
Each game drive was an adventure, filled with incredible wildlife sightings and stunning landscapes. Our guide was not only skilled but also very passionate, which made every moment more engaging. He went above and beyond to ensure we saw as much as possible and that we were always comfortable.
The accommodations were beautiful and well selected, offering both comfort and a sense of being close to nature. We also enjoyed the delicious meals and the friendly service throughout the trip. This safari created memories we will cherish forever, and we highly recommend Wildebeest Footsteps Adventures.

Best local operator, experienced guides and tour managers
We had an absolutely fantastic safari experience and couldnât be happier with every single detail of the trip. From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized and exceeded our expectations.
Our guide was simply the bestâhis ability to spot animals in places that seemed completely invisible to us was incredible. Thanks to his expertise, we saw so much more than we ever imagined. He took us everywhere with great care, professionalism, and a constant attention to detail that made us feel safe and well looked after at all times.
The hotels were all full of charm, all with beautiful gardens and swimming pools, and spa options in 2 of them. Our night in a tented camp in the Serengeti was an unforgettable experienceâespecially when we realized that lionesses with their cubs were roaming nearby during the night. Truly magical and thrilling!
Another standout aspect was the picnic lunches. Every day we enjoyed beautifully prepared meals with tablecloths, proper plates, and cutlery, featuring freshly cooked dishes. It was such a contrast to the basic carton boxed lunches other tourists hadâwe could definitely feel a bit envied as they watched us enjoy our meals in the picnic areas.
The organization of the entire trip was impeccable. Linah, in particular, deserves special recognitionâshe was always quick to respond to every question and request I had, and her help during the booking and payment process was absolutely invaluable.
I 100% recommend this local agency. They work with highly experienced local staff and guide, and partner with top-quality hotels.

Premium Customized Safari Experience
This was my first safari, and I spent three months carefully selecting a local team in advance. Extra Miles was my final choice among many, primarily due to the outstanding performance of Joseph during our communication.
To meet my needs, Joseph revised nearly 10 versions of the itinerary. He responded to every one of my questions promptly and effectively, delivering true customization rather than generic, mechanical replies. Even after signing the contract, whenever I had doubts, he patiently answered them, making me feel extremely reliable.
In fact, the itineraries offered by different travel agencies are quite similar. The key difference lies in the communication process: the ability to answer questions effectively, the timeliness of responses, and integrity. These were my decisive factors for choosing Joseph and Extra Miles, and my choice proved to be correct.
Equally important was our guide, Morris, who was absolutely experienced. We took a direct flight and headed straight to Amboseli upon landing. Normally, we should have checked into the hotel first, but as we entered the park, someone spotted a cheetah. Morris immediately took us to see it.As a result, we witnessed a beautiful cheetah passing right in front of our vehicle, less than 3 meters away. It was truly breathtaking! Without Morrisâ flexibility and quick thinking, we would have missed such a clear view of the cheetah.
All in all, Joseph and his team made our safari experience in Amboseli absolutely fantastic. Highly recommended.
