This safari met all of my expectations and even more!
So happy I picked Wild Planet Safari! Chris was an excellent and knowledgeable guide, spotting so many animals I would never have seen and really going out of his way to show us as much wildlife as possible. Dylan was a great cook and cheerful co-guide. We saw so many animals up close: a pride of 18 lions trying to ambush wilderbeest, a leopard that came out of the bush and walked along our open-top car for 5 mn, a pack of wild dogs, hyenas, sable antelopes, and a cheetah that crossed the road in front of us! Had an amazing time.

James is passionate and makes you feel at home
If I could give this experience more than 5 stars I would. I learned so much during the tour and got to experience some really rare sightings like the famous fab 5 hunting down their meal, a white rhino and a leopard casually strolling by our van. James is so passionate and knowledgeable about the safari and will take you through an unforgettable experience. He is an amazing person too, always taking care of his community and colleagues throughout the tours.

Once in a lifetime experience of African wilderness
This was my first safari experience. Overall, it was an incredible experience. We saw so many beautiful animals in their wild and breathtaking habitat, ate plenty of authentic food in a communal canteen, slept well in comfortable tents (at Lenchada Tourist Camp), enjoyed hot showers and were treated well by our hosts and driver/guide Joshua.
The only slight negative was that it is a long time in a vehicle. Our full day meant spending 10 hours in the car and even though we could stand up to look out the roof of the vehicle and had two quick pit stops, this felt like a bit too long and meant we decided not to go on the game drive on the final day as we already had the 5 hour drive back to Nairobi to sit still through. This is not a criticism of Jocky Tours, just the nature of this type of safari trip.
Our guide was good at explaining about some of the things we were seeing, but I would have liked him to be a bit more forthcoming. There was also some confusion about whether lunch was included on the final day and moments where Joshua had to work out how to please different people in the same vehicle having paid for different packages that included different hours game drives/different activities. This created a few awkward moments.
Other things to enjoy on this trip are meeting other people in your vehicle (there were 8 of us though not all staying at the same camp), others at camp and evenings round the fire with Maasi men.
Overall, would thoroughly recommend.

Very knowledgeable and helpful in planning our itinerary
We found Clyde to be very knowledgeable about our destination and very helpful planning our holiday. We felt we had the right amount of time in each place. He also suggested a wonderful destination for the end of our gorilla trekking which totally lived up to his and Rob’s recommendation.
The in country staff they used from the moment we arrived at the airport, until we were dropped back at the end of our holiday were just amazing; lots of information about Rwanda and the gorillas. The accommodation and organisation were just what we wanted and excellent value for money.
We would highly recommend using Clyde and Rob.

Wonderful more than Budget tours
Thank you Lenchada for a wonderful safari experience. Alex is very good with communication so it was easy to plan the safari. Our driver and tour guide Dickson was knowledgeable and good with showing us all he could. We got to see lot of animals like lions, cheetahs, leopard, giraffe, elephant, hyenas, wildbeasts, Buffalo hippos, aligators and Ostrich at Masai maara NP while both white and black Rhinos at lake nakuru. In October we didn't get to see great migration.
The lenchada camp was better than our expectation. The deluxe tent comes with charging ports inside tent so it was helpful to charge stuff rather than going to common area. The Lanet matfam hotel in lake nakuru was below expectation as the room was very bad but the hotel amenities like swimming pool and stuff were good.
Food throughout the trip was good and all included. Plan to carry some snacks as the lunch is mostly delayed. The start of the trip was delayed by almost 2 hours waiting in the car which made the first day very hectic.
Final Notes: In all if you plan to do both masai mara and lake nakuru there is lot of travelling by car for 3 hours at lake nakuru NP so if you really want to see white Rhinos only then I would advise doing it. Our pickup and drop-off was from our hotel where we kept our checkin bags as only carry on bags were allowed on safari.

Up Close and Incredibly Awesome
Clyde and Tailormade Africa delivered an incredible safari experience for us in July of 2021. Sometimes, writing a review directly upon return it's still a euphoria time...but even a year and more later, our time on safari in Tanzania was an experience we still shake our heads about. It's hard to believe how incredible it was. The sights, the sounds, and the people of Tanzania have become etched in our minds and we are richer for the experience. Despite the stress of several Covid tests in a span of 48 hours to get there, upon landing in Tanzania the stress was whisked away as we stepped outside of luggage claim and met our first guide. From there, we were treated to the most incredible wildlife experience and luxury that is unforgettable. From elephants outside the tent at night at our first camp, to sundowner stories, to camp guides dancing and singing for us at our arrival and departure (and meals), we had a magical experience. Days were filled with the excitement of lions fighting, leopards hunting, giraffes fighting, elephants spraying, wildebeests crossing, hippos watching, crocodiles waiting, zebras helping, warthogs running, monkeys scavenging, ostriches prancing, flamingos displaying, followed by incredible sunsets over the Serengeti, it was nonstop amazement. And then, there were the camps. Oh, if you've never stayed in a tent that was a luxury hotel experience with coffee delivered with a morning greeting and warm water delivered for the morning shower or evening wash upon demand, and food delivered or prepared for a picnic at your watching spot...this is the place you need to be! Our experience was incredible, and we look forward to the next time! We recommend Tailormade Africa highly for listening to our desires and budget, organizing accordingly, and delivering all we wished for and more.

Lifetime dream safari with Lenny Koshal
Wow- five stars aren’t enough for this amazing experience! Lenny Koshal is a fantastic, knowledgeable guide. From the beginning stages of planning all the way to the end of the journey he made this trip perfect. First on the itinerary was Samburu and Elephant Bedroom Camp. What an unforgettable stay we had with elephants walking through the camp and the staff was great. Then we had one remarkable night at The Cliff, Nakuru. The tent was luxurious and we loved sitting on the deck listening to the multitude of bird sounds while looking out at the beautiful lake. Last we visited Maasai Mara where we stayed at Entim Camp. Mara is a magical place and Lenny was so proud to be in his home. He had a wonderful way of teaching us so much about the different species and the land. I highly recommend Tayiai Safaris for the experience of a lifetime.
