Superstar Lana!
Lana was helpful and understanding. I was organising a family safari to South Africa and was trying to coordinate it with several family members who kept changing their mind! Frustrating for me however Lana kept me calm and came up with a great itinerary to suit everyone. Every aspect including hotels, safari lodging, internal flights and transfers were well organised and I didn’t have to do anything which helped the entire holiday. Thank you Lana - I’m very grateful.

5 -day trekking: an unforgettable experience with an incredible team!
The organization of this trek was made in 2 days following a last -minute reservation. The downside in this journey was the rather indifferent welcome of our guide Daniel at the hotel, of a great lack of communication, especially at the beginning. We followed him without saying anything: waiting for an hour in a Matatu, Waiting for almost 2 hours in a restaurant in Nanyuki. We were told that there were things to buy for the trek. We didn't know what was really going on. All of a sudden, we end up with lots of people and a lot of stock in the Matatu. Several stops on the way. I was afraid of coming from darkness. It was only made to the Gates of Mount Kenya that one could finally speak with Daniel. I told him at that time my wish he is talking to us and explains things. The presentation of the team was done and the pressure began to decrease.
To our surprise, we were welcomed and treated like king: small checkered napes, coffee, tea or hot chocolate with small cookies. Daniel brings me to show me the location of the brand new. The surprise is that there was no sleeping bag. He said he had asked us the question at the office and we replied that we had them what was completely false. But he did everything to get us, for an additional blow of $ 10.00 /day supposedly that it was not included, which was also false. When we had wifi, it was clearly written.
The rest of the team was extraordinary! Patrick was an extraordinary and so kind cook. Our meals were so good! Our Anthony carrier is a person posed, respectful and available, capable of answering our questions. It could easily go to the guide stadium. Our carriers: Douglas, Chris and John we do a whole job and we are grateful! Thanks guys !
Thank you Daniel for having the ability to organize this adventure and for guided us with Anthony on the trails of Mont Kenya.

Consisten Communication
Abdullah was great to deal with. We had multiple conversations via WhatsApp prior to my departure for Tanzania and once I landed.
I find it a bit hard to leave a review because I know from talking to the others in our safari vehicle we all came from 3 different tour companies so I cant say if you will get the same driver, vehicle or cook. However, our driver Jonas (Yonas) and the vehicle he had at the time were amazing. I have nothing but good things to say about him and his desire and ability to make sure we had front row seats at all the best sightings and his care and attention to our enjoyment. It was a magical trip, one I would do again. Ngorongoro was probably my favorite, though the Serengeti was also mind blowing.
The 'rustic' camps were fun and fit well with my desire to be camping rather than in a lodge. The food was great, nothing fancy but always tasted good. Get used to variations of Rice, Chicken and Vegetables.
My only real complaint was the amount of time I spent and number of texts back and forth with Godwin, the contact in Arusha. It really frustrated me. I had arranged with Abdullah for a pickup in Arusha that I was told was "perfectly fine", however over the course of nearly a day I had dozens of text messages with Godwin claiming it was not an easy pickup location and I should find my own way to a pickup point. ie Pay my own money and find my way via taxi / tuk tuk to a location in a city I have no knowledge of, instead of them finding me in a city they knew. It wasn't until I had my hotel call Godwin in person that we finally convinced him to pick me up. After that, everything was good.

Unconditional recommendation
In short: Unconditional recommendation!! Individual planning of each trip, adapted to your own wishes and wallet. Price/performance top!
The detailed version:
We had an insanely great trip with many unique experiences that Daniela planned individually for us. We met her and her husband at a vacation fair and immediately had a very good feeling because of her manner. For us, it was then almost immediately clear where our trip would go.
We wanted a mixture of culture and safari.
Already when we arrived, Daniela and Stanley (our driver for the duration of the trip) welcomed us warmly at the airport and took us to the first lodge.
What was an important factor for us; Daniela speaks german, english and Swahili and was always available for us. We could turn to her with everything. This gave us security, especially before traveling to a country/continent that was still unknown to us. However, we did not have to come back to it during the trip.
