Great half-day safari
We booked a last minute half-day safari at Nairobi National Park and it all went smoothly. Saw lots of animals and it is a great option if you short on time!
Excellent
Everyone looking for a well planned experience then this is the best company to approach.

Do not use. They will scam you.
They charged us for a private car to Moshi from Nairobi. The car broke down 1 hour into the journey then we had to get a bus the rest of the way. A 6 hour journey took us 10 hours. They refused to give any money back. We negotiated they take us back to Nairobi in a private car for £65 extra which was agreed. The driver turned up late in a safari jeep which is meant for off roading and not to travel a long journey. This was ridiculous for a 7 hour journey. They then agreed to swap for the original car (that the GM had decided to use herself instead of giving it to us despite us paying for it) that was agreed and the GM herself turned up an hour late again and had no excuse and refused to offer any explanation. Literally when asked she said "I have no explanation and don't want to talk about it". Because we were so delayed, our journey ran into the evening when it was dark and we then pulled over by the police who extorted another $60 of us. During this time, the driver left us alone in the car and I am so sure he was involved in the extortion as when we were originally pulled over he said something to them and then left us alone and only got back in the car after we handed the money over. Do not use this company. They are involved in scamming. They take your money and do not deliver. Don't ruin your holiday. Absolutely awful. I will be telling local hotels not to use them too in order to save guests being ripped off and lied to. We wasted 2 whole days of our trip because of their incompetence. The drivers name was Goodenough and the lady who is the GM and an absolute joke when it comes to looking after customer safety and service, her name is Beatrice Dimitris Dallaris, General Manager of Ngurdoto Mountain Lodge and Classic Tours and Safaris and Ngurdoto Shuttle Services. STAY AWAY FROM THEM.

Great tour for solo traveller
Had a last minute work trip to Namibia, and was lucky enough to have Nature Travel Namibia arrange a tailor-made trip that fit into my limited travel time, with very short notice. Had a fantastic time, my tour guide was incredible and very knowledgeable and can thoroughly recommend Nature Travel Namibia.

The personal approach and their detailed knowledge of the area make GreenHippo Travels unique
Living in Rwanda and before in Kenya, we were very much looking forward to visiting the National Parks in Tanzania. We discussed with Karin several possibilities, the next day she sent us her proposal. She understood our experience and expectations very well. Whenever we had a question, Karin always responded very quickly. We first visited Zanzibar and continued our journey to the National Parks Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and West Kilimanjaro. It was a journey beyond expectations. The nature was fabulous and the tented camps and lodges very private with beautiful views. Our game driver was very experienced and reliable, shared his knowledge about the area and behaviour of the animals and was a passionate birdwatcher. The car was in good condition.
We warmly recommend GreenHippo Travels!!

Unparalleled local knowledge and integrity
More than two years after we originally booked our safari with Kaiser and Holiday Diary Mobile Safaris, our family was finally able to enjoy eleven amazing days in Botswana. Our experience was better than we dared to hope.
Kaiser's knowledge of the plants and animals made us feel like we were living in a nature film. Not only did he know where to find every animal, but he was able to share with us fascinating details about their lives, habits, and relationships with local peoples that greatly enriched our understanding of Botswana's unspoiled natural environment. We were impressed in particular with his knowledge of both large predators and birds--a rare combination in any guide.
Kaiser's knowledge of Botswana's roads, campsites, and logistics was also outstanding. He chose spectacular campsites that were comfortable yet peaceful. When unusually wet weather forced a change of plans, he was able to reroute us to another enjoyable alternative. Our camp chef Nelson prepared delicious meals that complimented our experiences in the bush. Both of our hosts told amazing stories that made each evening in camp an unforgettable experience--and helped us learn basic bush sense to be a little safer in this wild place. They worked hard to make sure we were happy and comfortable every step of the journey.
As mentioned above, due to the pandemic, this journey took an excessively long time to move from booking to visit. In spite of rising costs since our original booking, Holiday Diary honored their original quoted charges to us; it's rare to find a company with both exceptional local knowledge and that level of integrity in its billing practices. I can't recommend Holiday Diary Mobile Safaris highly enough.
