Three beautiful days in Masai Mara
I was on three days safari in Masai Mara with my wife and two children (at the beginning of February 2020). Our tour guide was Anthony and he was great. He was kind and I liked his driving style.
We saw lions, elephants, cheetahs, leopard, giraffes, antelopes, hippos, crocodile, monkeys.
Masai Mara is beautiful place.
And we were satisfied with services of Baboon Budget Safaris company.

Very pleasant cooperation, looking forward to the next meeting
We received excellent advice and support from Mr Fred and his team. What we loved about the trip was the flexibility it gave us while planning every day. At the same time the most stressful and time consuming things such as accommodation research, distances, etc were done for us. This approach let us enjoy every moment of our trip. The communication from our driver guide Mr James Kimani was excellent from the very first moment. We felt we were well informed; the brochures, maps, leaflets, baggage tags and the wallet for vouchers were a great idea.
We would have changed a few minor decisions if we had it to do over again, but that said, it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience that we will never forget. Everything was well organized, we loved the camps and lodges that we stayed at. We all gained lots of weight because the food was so good.
The wildlife was amazing and we just couldn't believe how much we saw, even just on our first day in the bush.
Sino Africa delivered exactly what they promised and we were very happy with our experience. We have and will continue to recommend Sino Africa to friends who are planning trips to Africa.

A perfect experience!
It was an excellent trip in every way. The weather was not what we expected and we were surprised at how cold it could be in the Masai Mara but obviously there's nothing you can do about the weather.
We had one small hiccough at Nairobi airport but apart from that everything went very smoothly and everywhere we went we were met by the most charming, friendly and professional staff. Of course we loved the landscape, especially Masai Mara, and the game, but it is always the people, the staff, who make your trip and your stay memorable.
It's been sixteen years since we were last in Kenya and I can't wait to go again. It has to be said that travel in this part of Africa is now very expensive compared to the competition and we feel that better guidelines could have be given on tipping.

Our travelling experience with Meru Slopes Tours and Safaris entirely exceeded all out expectations.
Our trip from Arusha over Tarangire NP into the Serengetti, the Ngoro Ngoro crater and back to Arusha was an unforgettable experience for us. Thank you to the organizers of the trip for reliable preparation and communication throughout, to the driver for safe driving and the cook for preparing excellent food throughout our whole stay. We will be sure to recommend you to our friends!

PERFECT !
Flawless organization and support from our arrival on Tanzanian soil until departure at the airport, a tailor-made program that meets each of our expectations or requests.
The availability and responsiveness of all our Tanzania specialist contacts before and during the trip is permanent!
Dedication to Zoé always surprising of reactivity! and Emmanuel our driver Massai who knew how to face all situations during the safari and let us discover his culture!
We had made it clear to Emmanuel that we wanted to be able to offer gifts (pencils, pens, notebook, sweets, etc.) to children, he finally took us to visit an orphanage at the end of Tarangire park, it was for us for a moment full of exchanges, smiles and "emotions" ...!
All the accommodations were on top but a plus anyway for accommodation at the Tarangire tent camp, immersed in the savannah surrounded by animals (hyenas, giraffes, antelopes, etc.) but in complete safety with a surprising welcome and comfort. , a must !
It was an exceptional, magnificent and unforgettable stay, we will be back !!!
Thank you !

It was good and very convenient to contact the tour operators
The safari was very well organized, accommodation and food was good. The driver Mr Stanley was the best part of the package as he took great care of everyone, wildlife viewing,
time, travel and safety during the entire trip. The stay at Masai Mara and Amboseli gave us an authentic experience of the African Bush and culture.

Awesome experience
I booked with this company mid last year for my 11days Kenya Tanzania safari through out the booking process I communicated with Shanice she was very professional and understanding
I was picked up from the airport to the hotel and the following morning I was picked up for briefing Dan the driver was very helpful during the park drive and stopped whenever he spotted any animal amazingly some out of our vision he seemed to have lots of experience however in Masai Mara there was a small misunderstanding about the accommodations since each client had booked a different one as I realized later but after calling the office it was immediately resolved and we were taken to our various hotels as per the booking
I am a bird watcher and lake Nakuru gave me exactly that.
The accommodation in Amboseli park was amazing it had a swimming pool hot tub and the view extending to the edge of the park was amazing
Tanzania was ok and Serengeti is not to be missed.
I would highly recommend this company there is worth for your money

Great value for money
I booked my trip to Maasai Mara in May 2019 through Keshi Tours. We left Nairobi on a Friday morning and returned on Sunday late afternoon (3 days, 2 nights).
To start with, the driver who took us there was very friendly and punctual. He made everyone feel comfortable, which was really important as we had joined the trip with people from different cultures including visiting tourists and we were all meeting for the first time. He was able to interact cordially with all on board which set the tone for a weekend together.
The trip to Mara is about 6 hours and part of the road is not tarmacked. The tour van provided was new and very comfortable. We stopped halfway along the way at Narok town for buffet lunch before proceeding with the remaining part of the journey. There was also lunch on the trip back to Nairobi, all part of the package.
On arrival, we checked into our tents. We had paid the budget package which was really affordable and we were impressed by the budget camp we were booked in. The tents imitate a small house, complete with a cemented floor and an in-built bathroom.
The first game drive started shortly after our arrival at the camp at around 4 p.m. Although we had less than 2 hours in the park on the first day (all visitors must be out of the park by 6 p.m.) we were able to spot 3 of the big five. We actually spotted all the big 5 within the 3 days we were there. Obviously the team cannot promise that you will spot all the big 5 but this team did their best to make sure we witnessed all the breathtaking moments, which is partly from knowing the park very well and partly great communication with their peers which is evident from the interpersonal skills we had already witnessed from this tout operator. In fact, rather unexpectedly we were able to spot the elusive leopard!
Other than the big 5, we also were able to witness moments like a pair of cheetahs hunting a baby gazelle, lions' mating season, and a pack of hyenas fighting with a mother bufallo for her sickly calf (the hyenas won, sadly).
This trip was the most relaxing trip ever. A big part of that was because we were able to relax and trust that everything would be well taken care of, and John and his team did not disappoint. I have since had other great experiences in different places with Keshi Tours and that was only possible because of the standard set by this operator.
I finally found a reliable and customer-centred tour-operator!
