Perfect Safari
Everything was just right (with very little restrictions):
- Good advice and organization before the trip.
- Very courteous guide and driver (thank you Baraka!)
- Diverse and beautiful places visited with lots of animals (Trangire / Ngorongoro crater)
- Very good accommodations, all with intact infrastructure (always warm water with enough pressure) and good food (well, the packed lunches should be a bit more varied).
We didn't like the additional bookable activities that much. For example the “banana tour”. The activities are overpriced and the aim is always to buy goods in the studios (i.e. shops) visited during the tour. The offer ranges from pictures and wood carvings to banana beer and coffee.
One more side note: After seeing so many wonderful animals, we were shocked by the fact that Tanzania Specialist apparently also offers guided shooting of the animals under the term Hunting Safari. We cannot understand that.
Despite these restrictions, we can absolutely recommend Tanzania Specialist.

Local, cool, fun, hiking up mountain, tusker beer, glamping, sunset safari, coffee with rhinos,
We were two Americans “scared to travel” during COVID. And we had no problems AT ALL! Book with Namayiana Safaris. Our guide, John, was born and raised on Maasai Mara. You don’t realize until you’re doing the safari how all the groups are different. The majority of safari groups from Nairobi even relied on our guide for directions in the Mara. You have to choose a local safari company for this reason. You need to choose someone who grew up on the land and knows everything. John knows where to find the Big 5. Majority of groups did not see rhinos or leopards. John is very close friends with park rangers. If they find lions, cheetahs, cubs, or a family of elephants then they call John to let him know where they are hiding. One of the coolest advantages to going with a Maasai Mara tribesman is they can go OFF THE MAIN ROADS. This is huge. You get right next to the animals. John is the coolest and even brought Kenyan beers on safari to have while watching a cheetah stalk their prey. John knows where to find the extremely rare black rhino. While having our morning coffee packed on the go, a family of 3 rhinos came out of the bush!! We chose private safari with open air land cruiser and we couldn’t be happier! This gives you the ability of flexibility. We got to do a sunrise game drive, lunch in the Mara, hike up a local mountain for a walking safari, and get an extra sunset game drive. Outstanding service and I would highly recommend! Can’t wait til my next safari with Namayiana Safaris.

Great time, for a fair price
If there were any issues. Nelson was able to quickly answer and fix the problem within the hour. Very fast a prompt service.
Water and food was provided throughout the experience. Just make sure the birds don't snag them out of your hands!

Super Safari Experience
The whole trip was very enjoyable, with some excellent wildlife sightings, good accommodation and delicious food.
It met all our hopes and expectations for going out early, driving back after dark and generally being flexible with the activities on offer.l plan to book again with my family.
Thanks to Skylane Safaris team!

I think I have fallen in love with Africa
This trip was planned a long time ago, and it was really great to arrange a trip to Africa with my friends in peace! We visited the most famous scenic spots in Kenya in a total of 9 days and 8 nights, and also visited the United Nations Headquarters in Africa. I remember that what impressed me the most was that we saw wildebeest crossing the river and leopard hunting. Our only regret was that we did not see the rhino. We are grateful to the driver who arranged for us by the travel agency. He worked hard every day and kept explaining animal knowledge to us. The hotel and dining are perfect! Thank you for allowing us to see the characteristics of Africa. After the epidemic, we will definitely take my parents on the journey to Africa again.
