Unforgettable adventure with 5 days hike in Mount Kenya!
We embarked on our adventure with Dunkan, our exceptional trip planner, a whole year in advance, and the experience has been nothing short of phenomenal. From the initial booking to the culmination of our journey, Dunkan has been a consummate professional, addressing all our queries promptly and making the entire process perfect.
Dunkan and his team redefine hospitality, embodying the essence of service-mindedness and friendliness. Their genuine passion for crafting unparalleled experiences for their customers shines through at every interaction.
Our tour crew, comprised of a knowledgeable guide, Patrick, an excellent cook, Tuma, and four diligent porters, added an extra layer of excellence to our adventure. Patrick not only had a wealth of information about wildlife, flowers, stones, and plants but also went above and beyond by waking up early to spot Buffalo in the nature, ensuring we didn't miss out on the wildlife spectacle. His strategic timing for our summit allowed us to witness a breathtaking sunrise, being the first on the top that morning—an incredible and thoughtful touch to our journey. A comment here is that there were many groups hiking that morning that didn’t see the sunrise due to their guides lack of preparation. I would say that the sunrise is very important for the total impression of the mountain and that Patrick is the guy if you want to be guaranteed the magnificent sunrise on Mount Kenya!
Tuma, the culinary maestro, treated us to a culinary journey with diverse and delicious meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner (both starter and main course). From African porridge and fresh fruit to a variety of fish, chicken, and pork dishes, every meal was a delightful surprise. The service extended to us was outstanding, with warm water and soap provided before each meal, emphasizing their commitment to hygiene. They even prepared our water daily, ensuring it was ready for consumption during our hikes and meals.
Dunkan, as the organizer, was not just a driver but a storyteller, making our journey from our hotel in Nairobi an unforgettable part of the adventure. His attention to detail and dedication to providing the best service truly set the tone for an exceptional trip.
In conclusion, Dunkan and his team have not just orchestrated a trip; they've created an immersive, delightful experience that exceeded all expectations. Their commitment to customer satisfaction and meticulous planning, along with the warm and personalized service, make them the go-to choice for any travel enthusiast. I would HIGHLY recommend them!

Good organisation
Amazing tour in Serengeti and Ngorogoro crater. Humphrey organized everything in a perfect way, the pick up and drop off at the airport and during the safari the staff that was with was so kind and professional. The chef cooked lovely meals and Rogers ,the driver, help us to see all the animals possible. We did 2 nights in public camp site, it is an unique experience but just for wild and adventure people.

Efficient, helpful and patient with extensive knowledge
Ntanda Ventures (Sonja) has assisted us a few times, and I can only say how brilliant they have been. Due to our constantly changing timetables, they have been efficient and patient and have always tailored our needs and our budget to our family.
Thank for organising another amazing holiday- safari and fishing at the Royal Zambezi.
Amazing 2 day safari in Nyerere with Zanzibar fly in
Just writing a few lines to say how brilliant our 2-day safari was with Shammah Wonders Safari for our family of 5. It's quite a minefield when you are trying to pick a company to choose and you obviously want it to be successful. We wanted a two day safari experience and return flights from Zanzibar. Briefly, we asked for an overnight stay in Nyerere, 1 full day safari, boat safari, and village visit. Justine arranged everything and it all ran like clockwork. He was always available on WhatsApp to answer any questions.
He provided spreadsheet of itinerary, e.g hotel pickup time 4am , driver name, phone number, flight time 6am , game drive start time 7am etc , etc. As said before here Eli as an amazing person and safari guide. His knowledge is second to none, very personable and will amuse you with his stories. Every step of the way, there is someone to look after you, e.g, game drive, hotel taxi, at airport, village tour, boat trip. We saw lots of hippo, giraffe, zebra, but seeing mum, dad and baby elephant was a highlight. Thanks to Eli for his perseverance and keen eye for that one and thanks to Justine for arranging.

Excellent 6-day safari trip (The Great Migration Tour)
We had an absolutely amazing trip with John our driver and guide from Serengeti Smile. We saw so many different habitats and countless animals. John was always very patient with us taking pictures. Accommodations were all good and the food lovely throughout the trip. We can highly recommend Serengeti Smile!

Great safari, with amazing guides and camps
We loved travelling for our honeymoon with Morningstar. Dennis was great at communicating and helping me plan the best trip for our budget and timeline. Both our guides James (for Kenya) and Hassan (for Tanzania) were awesome, they knew so much about the parks and reserves and made sure we saw all the animals we could, including 3 leopards and over 60 lions during our trip!
The camps were amazing, with hot showers and even bath tubs in the middle of the Serengeti, delicious food and amazing views.
