Great organization; nothing was difficult. Thank you!
Great experience both this time and last time Mwaka organized our family tour (Nov. 2022). Nothing was difficult (except maybe what is outside their control, like Gorilla permits), and service with a very positive spirit. I hope I will have another opportunity to visit and have Mwaka and Makario in charge of my destiny and destination! And kudos to the driver/guides as well. MURAKOZE!

Topy Tours was the right choice for us
The safari was an unbelievable experience for us. Everything was well organised by Jackson and our guide Freddy did a great job. He was very motivated to make the best out of our visit and we had a lot of fun together. The schedule was still flexible and we were able to choose between different options. We also booked the Waterfall-coffee-and-hot springs tour with Jackson. All guides were friendly and able to give us some knowledge about the surrounding. The food was nice and always enough. We are happy:)

Exhilarating, fun and informative.
We spent a long time deciding what operator to go with, and we finally settled on Jocky Safaris. There were very helpful with booking through WhatsApp and an answered all our queries promptly.
Our guide Johnie was very knowledgable about all the animals and always gave us an extra nugget of information about their behaviour and how to distinguish between males and females. In addition, Johnie was an excellent driver in the tricky terrain and we were always the first to reach sightings of leopards, lions and cheetahs (no rhino sadly). We managed to see 4 of the big 5 and we had lots of time on our own with elephants and a lioness.
We selected the budget option but it did not feel particularly budget. The beds were comfortable, hot showers, and good security. The breakfasts and dinners were tasty and always on time.
I would recommend Jocky safaris, they have very good drivers (makes a big difference in the bumpy roads) who are very knowledgable about the Masai Mara, as well as comfortable accommodation.

Trip of a lifetime !
We had overall a great experience embracing nature at its purest coupled with amazing food and people that further enhanced the experience. Compass took care of everything and made us feel 'at home'. This started already before the trip, where received a lot of info/advice. The guides were warm, passionate and knowledgeable. Compass put together a fantastic itinerary for us which left us with memories that will last a life time !
Was our first trip to the continent, and I am sure it wont be the last. We can highly recommend Compass.

Amazing! Zachary our tour guide was extremely knowledgable and pleasant.
The Safari itinerary was perfect for us.
We saw the big 5 on the first day of our trip.
Zachary our guide was extremely knowledgable and pleasant.
The staff at Wild Adventures were very responsive from the day we booked the trip regarding all our requests and questions. We even had issues with our flight being delayed and they helped us sort out an updated itinerary for our safari.
We felt very safe during the whole trip.
The price we paid was very competitive against other companies offering the same itinerary with the same hotels.
We highly recommend them and especially ask for Zachary to be your guide for a top experience.

Our tour operator Mark was perfect, knew the area and was excellent at spotting animals.
Karibu safari offered me a really good price for 3 days Masai Mara safari.
Our tour operator Mark was great, a very funny guy, he took really good care of me when I felt sick, helped me a lot to get over it.

These guys go the extra mile and were so worth the money!
From the very beginning allscenery were so easy to deal with. Our operator, Lizzy, was so quick to reply to our questions and told us as much information as we needed to hear. She even organised a collection from the airport for us at no extra cost (even though we didn't start our safari until 3 days later). When we visited their office we told them we were heading to Mombasa after the safari and they even booked the train for us as we were having difficulty with the website.
The safari itself was so smooth from beginning to end. Our accomodation was lovely and helped us relax with good food after long game drives. Our driver Joseph was phenomenal. His knowledge of the wildlife was superb and he went the extra mile to make sure we got the best photos and viewing. He also must have answered a million and one questions from us and he always replied with a smile and with some new fascinating info. Our only constructive criticism for the company is that their office was a little bit difficult to find but overall this was a once in a lifetime experience for us and we would highly recommend this company.

Perfectly tailored African adventure
Christelle from Gondwana Tours really hooked us up on our maiden trip to Africa. We were late booking our adventures, but she worked hard for us to include our wishlist of Vic Falls, birding and game viewing camps (Mopiri and Nokanyana) in Botswana within our budget and ensuring it was safe and manageable for a 9 year old (no small feat). All transfers (air/car/boat) to and from Cape Town airport and to our respective accommodations were seamless taking the stress off planning. If you want to book a stress free adventure in Africa, go with Gondwana Tours!
