Amazing Tour
I met Native Afrika through a high school friend who was in Kenya and Tanzania with them a month before my travel. Charity was just amazing and sent us different options that we were confused on which one to choose. after discussing on what we really wanted we settled on 7 days Kenya Tanzania safari from Masai Mara, Serengeti, ngorogoro crater and Amboseli. The guides on both sides (since we could not continue with the same guide from Kenya) was amazing and did everything to make us see all animals.
There was 3 hours delay at the boarder because we did not know about the yellow fever injection was necessary in Tanzania (I think this should be included in the information) but they were able to arrange and finally we got the injections at the border.
the whole experience was worth every coin, and we were very happy by all the assistance including at the border and the guides. thank you, David and Sam, for the best tour to Africa.

CJA put together a stunning experience for us, with competent, hospitable and thoughtful staff.
We will be raving about this trip for years. During 10 days in Amboseli NP, Lake Naivasha and the Maasai Mara, we saw (often from just a few meters away) every wild animal we could have imagined, and many more. We were so impressed that policies controlling poaching (and some irresponsible tour operators) were so effective that animals lived out their lives as though we weren't even there.
We spent 10 days in the hands of our driver Jack and the good folks at CJA, at five different resorts. Every single person we encountered was friendly, polite, and oh-so-helpful. Staff were always able to keep us safe, informed and on schedule, and the entire operation ran as smooth as could be.
Being in one vehicle and having one driver for the entire trip was just brilliant. Jack was alert (he saw wildlife far before us!), thoughtful and very well informed. He rapidly got a handle on what interested us most (for me, an understanding of how different animals interacted on the landscape) and made dozens of small choices to help create the best experience possible. Also, this trip was entirely on surface transport - no planes. The road time was by no means wasted -- we got to see the countryside and small towns, crops and herds, and the many ways people lived their public lives.

One of the best if not the best safari company in Tanzania
One of the best if not the best safari company in Tanzania. Everything was just fine. Before the trip we had a very friendly and well organized correspondence with the manager Peter. The safari itself went absolutely perfectly. Our guide Ombeni was super friendly and very professional. He is definitely an expert at his job. So I can really recommend this guy to you!

Professional, polite, and knowledgeable
wanted to do a last minute safari and Suricata helped me fit in Tarangire and Lake Manyara for a reasonable price! They are very professional and knowledgeable about the animals. The food was great! The only problem is that I couldn't stay longer! (had to leave because of work

Fabulous well organized trip.
My review will echo all the other reviews. Highly organized. Very impressive. The staff at the camps and boutique hotels always expected our arrival. They called us by name and always new exactly what tours we were doing. I never once showed a voucher that Chris sent us. Everyone was always punctual,enthusiastic knowledgeable and FUN! Great communication with Chris and the staff. As this trip was originally planned for 2020, we had lots of communication with Chris. I always felt confident that the trip would eventually happen. Chris managed to get refunds for our international flights. We did the East Africa safari and the South Africa tour. All accommodations were lovely.
The only thing I would have liked to have change is another night at the Escarpment luxury lodge…our final stay of the safari. It was truly fantastic and lovely. Best for last! I would have also liked to have added 2 more nights in Knysna, South Africa. The boutique hotel was spa like and relaxing and there is lots to do and see in this stunningly beautiful area. We didn’t have time with 2 nights to do it all.
Highly recommend this tour and this company. The trip was beyond our expectations.

Great budget option
Great trip with abundance of wild life sightings. Accomodation was ok, bathrooms and showers available at each stay. Our guide Dickson was very knowledgeable, with sharp eye sight. He shared with us a lot about animal behavior we did not know. Thanks to him we were able to see the big five and much more.

Awesome discover
We have chose the 2 day Masai Mara Private Tour.
It was so amazing, we were just like 2 kids discovering animals.
The guide explained us all we were seeing with details. He was very patient.
Our lodge was more comfortable than what we expected.
The package with this safari also included 2 lunch and the breakfast. All tasted good.
Go book your Lenchada safari, I highly recommend it!

Attentive, detailed, and extremely helpful!
We worked with Alice in planning our travel experience, including lodging and safari. She was absolutely stellar... we originally planned to take a one year wedding anniversary trip in April 2020, and then the pandemic hit. Over the next few years Alice worked with us diligently to keep our reservations intact until we were finally able to travel this month! The lodge we stayed was fantastic, we were beyond thrilled with Lion Sands and the service provided. Every detail was truly customized for us. Our guide, tracker, and butler were the best in the biz. They went the extra mile to help me when I thought I had left my lens cap in the safari vehicle, sensing someone to find it and drive it out to us on our way back to the airport! We felt safe, saw basically every animal you could hope to see in the wild and even ones we didn't, like the African wild cat! Seriously I can't say enough great things about Alice and Lion Sands river lodge. You won't be disappointed!
