Professional from start to finish
I had booked the flight over the Victoria Falls and had some questions in advance. All of them were answered qickly and reliably. I had to postpone my flight by a day at short notice and that wasn't a problem either. The flight itself was spectacular. Each passenger had a windowseat and a perfect view of the falls.
Many thanks to Cultural vibes travel and tour for this unique experience.

The best I’ve seen
Extremely knowledgeable drivers, with very good english, they were always super punctual, and very attentive to details, animals and to us
Honestly, I don't even know what to say. This is such a unique and wonderful experience, and our guides made it even better.
So special shout out to Denis for making this trip unforgettable

This is our first tour with Flash Safari and we were very impressed.
Henry very patiently dealt with our changes to the original itinerary before we arrived, making the whole process easy. The tour was great. Our guide, Emanuel, was friendly and informative. The accommodation was fantastic. It was an experience beyond belief to be so close to giraffes as they munched on bushes, to see a leopard haul it’s prey up into a tree, to watch a lioness stalk her prey and so many other special moments. I would highly recommend using Flash Safari as a tour organizer.

The Extra Miles staff truly live up to their name- they provided an outstanding experience for us.
From our first inquiry regarding tour options to the last day of our trip the Extra Miles staff was very accommodating and professional. Timothy answered every question we had with promptness, patience, and thoroughness. Upon arrival at the Nairobi airport at 10:30 pm on a Sunday, we were met by Melissa, Timothy, Victor, and our driver Graham. Our daughter had arrived in Nairobi several hours before we did and the Extra Miles staff had picked her up at the airport and taken her to our hotel. To our surprise, they had then picked her up from the hotel and brought her to the airport to meet us- a very nice and much appreciated touch. The excellent service continued with our driver, Graham. Being a birder, I had requested a driver with knowledge of the birdlife we might encounter at Maasi Mara, Lake Naivasha, and Amboseli- and Graham was the perfect choice. His ability to spot difficult to see wildlife while expertly navigating the rough roads in the parks was remarkable. Being interested in birds himself, Graham was very patient with me as I (very frequently) asked him to stop so I could check out yet another distant small bird on a shrub.
Every aspect of the trip, including accommodations and meals was very enjoyable. We had an amazing vacation experience with Extra Miles Unique Adventures and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a budget friendly, yet very comfortable, care-free and memorable trip.

Review about Tarangire National Park by Glenn Fisher
Tarangira National park had an amazing amount and variety of animals which we started seeing the second we entered the park and continued seeing throughout our visit. It is a large park and we covered a lot of territory in the course of our day there but it was well worth it as the game viewing was spectacular. Lots of elephants, giraffes, antelope, monkeys, wildebeasts and zebras. Very pretty park with lots of rolling hills in addition to the more wide open savannah like spaces.

Review about Serengeti National Park by Glenn Fisher
The Serengeti was wonderful beyond belief! We spent 3 days there and saw unimaginably large herds of wildebeats, zebras and antelope along with 54 lions, 4 lepards, a cheetah family and large quantities of elephants, hippos and giraffes. It is a vast park so be prepared to drive long distances but it is so worth it! We found animals all over the park and the scenery was breathtaking - vast, "endless" (as the name in Swahili means) plains of grass with low mountains and hills scattered about. Most of the animals here are so secure about their safety and used to safari jeeps that they don't bother to even move away when you pull up to observe them from mere yards away, particularly lions! Our accommodations all 3 nights were at the Nimali Central Serengeti and we had a great stay there. The staff was as friendly and helpful as could be (Carly, Ali, Peter and Emma). The facility was less than 2 months old when we arrived and although there was still some minor construction going on around the pool and site but everything was open to us and we enjoyed all the facilities. Our room was beautiful and we had magnificent views from our deck where we enjoyed relaxing with an adult beverage at night watching the sun go down.

Review about Ngorongoro Crater by Glenn Fisher
Ngorogoro crater is a gorgeous park with a unique feel all of its own due to its higher altitude and location at the bottom of a crater (technically a caldera - collapsed volcano). There were lots of wildlife everywhere in a relatively concentrated area. We saw a few lions, lots of buffalo, hippos, wildebeasts, zebras and birds. The downside is the park was much more crowded with safari vehicles than any other park we visited. There were at least 30 jeeps watching the lions we saw with us which is nothing like the relative privacy we experienced in the Serengheti or Tarangire where there were rarely more than 3 or 4 jeeps around at any time and often we were the only jeep viewing animals we came across.

Review about Lake Manyara National Park by Glenn Fisher
Very scenic park. Lots of baboons and monkeys. Beautiful scenery and forests but because of dense vegetation, harder to spot animals. We saw one elephant, a few antelope but mostly troop after troop of baboons.
