An unforgettable safari with Crown Eagle Safaris
We had an amazing safari experience in Kenya with Crown Eagle Safaris, and a huge part of that was thanks to our guide and driver, John.
From the very first day, John was professional, friendly and incredibly dedicated. He spent long days on the road with us and always went the extra mile to find the animals we hoped to see. His knowledge of the parks and, above all, his incredible eye for spotting wildlife made such a difference.
He always positioned the jeep perfectly for our photos, listened to what we wanted to see and never gave up looking for that next special sighting. We saw an incredible amount of wildlife and had so many unforgettable moments.
Every park was different, but the Maasai Mara was the absolute highlight and left us speechless. John truly helped turn our Kenya trip into a dream journey.
We can highly recommend Crown Eagle Safaris, and especially John, to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, patient and passionate safari guide. Thank you, for everything. Asante sana! 🇰🇪

Great
Polecat was excellent in arranging the safari for me and my family. Our guide Alen was very informative and we were very fortunate to see all the big 5 and the Mara crossing. We would definitely recommend the safari which took us to North Serengeti, Central Serengeti and the crater.

Simply Extraordinary
We spent seven incredible days touring four national parks in Tanzania's north - Tarangire, the Serengeti, the Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara with Meru Slopes Tours and Safaris. There were early starts and some very big days, it was often hot and dusty, and the roads were rough, but we relished every single minute of our safari and cannot recommend it highly enough. If I could have given our experience six stars out of five, I would.
We’ve all watched African wildlife documentaries on TV and 'seen' the animals. But it is hard to describe the emotional punch of actually being there. Of seeing, hearing, and experiencing wild Tanzania. Of coming round a bend in the road and finding a herd of elephants foraging beside you, and to hear how quietly these huge animals move through dense bush. To witness a massive giraffe sway gracefully across the road, step behind a tall acacia and literally disappear. To see vast areas of a lake turned cherry-blossom pink by huge flocks of flamingo. To watch a hyena feeding on a limb stolen from a recent lion kill and to actually hear the crunching of bones as she wolfs down her meal. To gaze at critically endangered Black Rhinos living wild. Or to experience the drama and intense emotion of the Great Migration as a thousand wildebeest pour across the Mara River - accompanied by panicked braying, stampeding of hooves, splashing, and palls of dust - while you sit urging them on. All extraordinary and incredibly moving experiences, and so much 'bigger' than what you see on TV.
It's also hard to describe the scale of things. The immenseness of the magnificent, 'endless' Serengeti; the massive power of a big male lion and the speed with which he can move; the towering height of an adult giraffe; and the sheer number of zebra and wildebeest, circling the Serengeti and Maasai-Mara on their never-ending journey to follow the rains and fresh grass. It is truly astonishing.
Our seven-day safari gave us the time needed to travel through different environments and to have the opportunity to see so many different birds and animals (including some less expected species such as ostriches, a jackal, a (fabulous) Leopard Tortoise, Crowned Cranes, and a group of mongoose). Meru Slopes provided a wonderful service, and we felt very well looked after from start to finish. We traveled in a 'private' (just the two of us and our guide) purpose-built 4WD, and stayed in ‘tented’ safari camps located within the parks (and an occasional town-based lodge). We particularly loved the safari camps. The staff were amazing; the food delicious; and our 'rooms' were immaculate, beautifully presented, and very comfortable with everything we could possibly need. Lunch was usually provided by the previous night's accomodation and was eaten in picnic areas within the parks along with drinks from the well-stocked fridge in our 4WD - fabulous! Thanks to Jerome from Meru Slopes for organising our safari so well and for taking the time to brief us and also meet with us after our tour: we really appreciated it.
Last but definitely not least: - We felt so lucky to see all we did, but realise we were even luckier to have been under the care of our wonderful guide, Ombeni, who made it all possible. His knowledge, skill, and expertise were beyond exceptional, and he worked tirelessly - day in and day out - to make our time in Tanzania simply extraordinary. Asante sana, Ombeni - it was a joy to see the animals with you and we're so grateful for everything you did for us.

The trip of a lifetime
Our safari trip to Kenya was one of the best experiences we have ever had! We loved every second of our trip, fell in love with Kenya and its beautiful nature, and learned so, so much thanks to our amazing tour guide, Peter!
Beyond the Plains were so helpful from our initial email, throughout our trip, and right until the very end. They answered all of our questions, tailored the perfect trip for us, and made sure we got our dream safari experience. Special thanks to Maurine for all her help planning the trip, and to our guide, Peter, for making sure we had an amazing experience.
We did a 5-night, 6-day safari and visited Amboseli National Park, Lake Naivasha, and Maasai Mara National Reserve. Our three different accommodations were clean, comfortable, and lovely, with great service and food. We especially recommend staying in a tented camp, as it truly gives you the full experience of being surrounded by nature.
Top tip: The distances between the parks can be quite long (5–6 hours), so definitely consider travelling by small plane to save time. Bring plenty of snacks, both for the drives between parks and for the game drives, as you will be out for long hours.
Thank you, Beyond the Plains, Maurine, and Peter, for the best time! We can’t wait to be back! 🐘🦁❤️

See Endless Adventures arranged everything perfectly and communicate efficiently
Our safari with See Endless Adventures was amazing from start to finish. A big part of that was our guide, Derick. He was very professional, knowledgeable, and friendly, and he always made sure everything went smoothly.
With more than 10 yrs of experience, Derick knew exactly where to go and was very good at finding the best places to see the animals. He also positioned the vehicle perfectly for photos. We were lucky enough to see cheetahs, lions, leopard, and incredible river crossing, among many other animals.
He shared lots of interesting information about Tanzania, the wildlife, and nature, which made the safari even more enjoyable. He was also a careful driver, and we always felt safe and well looked after.
Besides, Grace as customer representative also did a great job helping us to arrange everything before the trip, always patiently replied to our emails promptly.
The safari exceeded our expectations, and we would definitely recommend See Endless Adventures and Derick to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania.

Overall, very average. Lacking atmosphere and not comfortable.
Rather expensive for what felt like a very average experience. Accommodation was as expected and quite nice. Food was also ok, nothing special.
Vehicle very old, rattly and not very comfortable. One of the oldest we saw. Which was a shame given how long you spend it it every day.
The driver was similar to an Uber driver, hard to communicate in English and lacking detail or any excitement at all. Gave up asking any questions.
The overall experience felt disappointing and lacking given the mid to high range price. Recommend keeping options open.

Excellent client servicing from the inquiry phase to the very end.
Great attitude, they’ll go out of their way to make sure you get the best experience.
I did the maasai mara safari and they were eager to show us everything, they made sure we’re comfortable and everyone had an opportunity to photograph the animals & enjoy themselves.
Thank you very much to the entire team.
Maurine for handling the booking process and the logistics. And Both Ben & Laso our guides for the great experience!
