Flawless Experience!
My partner and I had a terrific time with Senait Tours. I can not say enough wonderful things about our experience: not only is the company incredibly organized, communicative and professional, the individuals behind the company, including Taddese, Mr. Nagesh, and Tikikil are genuinely great human beings who make you feel like family and who - beyond the professional relationship - care about you having the best memories and seeing the best that Ethiopia has to offer. Taddese is well-connected with the Ministry of Tourism, which solidifies my trust in the company as a reputable one as a cultural ambassador. From Lalibela (a personal favorite) to Hawassa, Bahadir, Addis Ababa and beyond, our meals, accommodation, and transport were planned seamlessly. Our trip was postponed because of COVID by one year, but Taddese stayed in touch and was unwaveringly flexible as we adjusted dates, itineraries, and COVID requirements. They even added a PCR test gratuitously to make our trip smoother and organized the scheduling/pickup of the test and results on time. The local guides that were hired were true experts and were keen to answer any and all of our questions. Above all, like the leadership team, we felt that they not only cared about their “job” but about our happiness and enjoyment, which is what made this one of the greatest trips of my life!!! Highly highly recommended for all travel in Ethiopia.

Great company!
We went through Blue Range for our travels to Kenya and Tanzania, and we had a wonderful time. Our meals, accommodation, and transport were planned seamlessly. Our trip was postponed because of COVID by one year, but Willis stayed in touch and was unwaveringly flexible as we adjusted dates, itineraries, and COVID requirements. Willis eand his team also supported us by organizing the scheduling/pickup of the COVID tests and results on time. The local guides that were hired were true experts and were keen to answer any and all of our questions and ensured we saw all the big 5, including, yes, leopards and lions and rhinos which are increasingly rare. Above all, like the leadership team, we felt that they not only cared about their “job” but about our happiness and enjoyment, which is what made this one of the greatest trips of my life!!! Mansoor made our trip unforgettable, as he has the biggest passion for his job and truly cares about Kenyan wildlife. Highly highly recommended for all travel in Kenya and Tanzania.

Best budget safari
My first experience in Africa (Kenya) and Calvin and team did so well to made my experience and memories so special.
Really enjoyed weather, nature and wildlife with great service provided by each and every team member of World Safari Land during my 5 days stay in Kenya. All accommodations, food, experience driver and cooperative and supportive staff made my trip really memorable. So five stars from my side - special thanks to Calvin and Naomi. Looking forward to seeing u soon in Tanzania.

Indisputable professionalism. Excellent availability and friendliness
We relied on lotus for both the city tour and its safari. Both guides were of an excellent professionalism as well as satisfying many of our requests always with availability and kindness. They even managed to arrange for us to take the covid test before we left. The safari was superb. Andrew and thabo are very knowledgeable guides and really nice people. The agency is so serious that it allowed us to use the service and to move the dates despite having booked in 2019, before the pandemic. This is truly the sign that determines seriousness and professionalism. Thanks again for your commitment and work.

Fantastic!
There are no words to describe how amazing this trip was! From the start George was fantastic. He was accommodating, responsive and helpful. He catered our itinerary to suit us and arranged everything to the tee. We saw, did and ate everything we wanted to! George was our driver and guide- he was amazing! Very knowledgeable and helpful! We loved his stories and wisdom.
If you do anything this year you have to travel with ASM! And if you are worried about Covid, don’t be! They are cautious and safe. Carting sanitiser where ever we go and always wearing a mask.
Please support this amazing company, they are worth every penny!

The most helpful team and the greatest experience
This was our first Safari tour and we did not know what to expect.
It all started with the most helpful Jacob, who helped us organise the tour, listened to all the special requests and adjusted the tour when our flight home was changed.
We then got to meet our guide, Fredy, who was the best guide we could wish for. We went on exciting and informative game drives, and in the evening, we had a lot of fun over dinner learning Swahili and talking about our lives.
Overall, this has been one of the greatest travel experiences we have ever had.
We highly recommend booking the trip with Jacob, and make sure to ask for Fredy and then you will definitely have an amazing time!

No doubt, this operator is the best
Great value for money, tailor-made, always helpful, lots of experience. and brings you to all the right places.
This is a small locally owned company, where the owner personally comes to welcome you at the airport and takes time to get to know your needs. Their guides are very experienced. Mine was fluent in French and English, but they offer tours in other languages too (Spanish for instance).
I definitely recommend them and will certainly book my next trip to Kenya and Tanzania with this company.

Half day well spent
We had a good game drive considering it is not easy to spot wildlife in Nairobi National Park. We owe that to our guide, Arony, who navigated the landscape really well. Recommendable half-day tour!

Amazing Attention to Detail and Thoughful Planning
I can't thank the group at Ker & Downey enough for planning an absolutely wonderful vacation for my family. From Sarah planning the perfect itinerary and locations to Zeena and Peter covering every detail of the logistics and activities, Ker & Downey was an absolute pleasure to work with. They talked with us about our interests and found locations and activities that matched exactly what we were looking for. And when it came to traveling, everything was seamless despite it being one of the most challenging times to travel with all the Covid considerations. The team was always available to answer any question I had and they kept in touch to let me know they were only a phone call or text away if needed. All of the transfers, tours and accommodations were top-notch. I highly recommend Ker & Downey Africa to anyone who is planning a trip. I'd give them 6 stars if I could!
