He is welcoming, very patient and accomodating!
We were a large group of 15 people (5 different families) and Paul and his team were excellent! Starting from accomodating so many different tastes and requests to making sure we covered everything that we wanted, they di ut all!!! They were well organised and always with a smile! Highly recommend them!!

An incredible and unforgettable experience
We had such a brilliant time. First of all our guide Zadlon Sunday, was the most amazing guide who showed he absolutely loved his job and the animals we were looking for. Every day we would wake up, have some breakfast and then make the journey to the next park. He was always ontime, always keen and so kind and happy. On the safaris themselves he would always be on the look out for animals making sure we could see as much as we could. Also if there were certain animals he would always ask whether we wanted to stay longer or go and keep looking for other animals. Thank you for the best honeymoon. The manager of the company met us before to run through everything and then again after the trip to check everything had gone well and that we were happy with the hotels, service and safari. Thank you!

Incredibly knowledgeable and trustworthy -- book now!
I can't recommend Kaiser highly enough. Our family of five took his safari through Chobe National Park and the Okavango Delta. He spotted hundreds of animals and gave us great insight about each of them -- I came to see the animals as complex and intelligent and left Botswana with a desire to be more environmentally conscious.
Several times we remarked that we had the best guide in the park (when comparing Kaiser's spotting skills and ability to position our jeep in prime viewing location to other guides we encountered). The trip was priceless and one we will treasure for the rest of our lives. Thank you Kaiser!

Trip Of A Lifetime
Just in case a Safari is on your bucket list:
All of the tour/Safari companies (and there are LOTS!) have their company name emblazoned on the side of their vehicles. There are so many different safari/tour companies I lost track as the Toyota Land Cruisers that they drive (99.99% of all vehicles were Land Cruisers) zig zag across the Masai Mara and Serengeti.
Personal testimony:
I can't say enough good things about our company, keronsafarisandhotels.com. I went with them on the recommendation of a Kenyan friend in San Diego and the service was amazing. All of the details of our trip were perfectly handled from the moment we walked out of the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi at 3:00 am on that first morning. What a relief it was to see our name on the sign held up by our driver and that an early check-in had been arranged at the wonderful "Tamarind Tree Hotel", just as I had requested.
Our guide, "Venant", the boyhood friend of my San Diego Kenya friend is a second generation guide (his dad was also on Safari at the same time) and was soooo knowledgeable about the animals and environment. Venant took care of each and every detail of our adventure.
Highly recommend

Magical Kenya
We had a wonderful safari experience with jockey travel and tour. The driver (Dennis) was professional and took us to see animals in best views. We are really satisfied and like to go to masai mara national park again and again.

Safe, reliable, professional and able to deal with all challenges
Our guide Thomas,amazing driver brought us safe and sound from Nairobi to Amboselli. Traffic, roads and driving techniques very different in Kenja to what we are accustomed to however Thomas was the best man for the job. We broke down however Thomas was amazing in organising a mechanic and had the fuel pipe repaired in a very reasonable time with us all staying calm. Amazing landscape view in Amboselli, amazing wildlife, amazing resort for a break, simply out of this world.
Reliable, professional, safety first, well organised. Thank you!

Value for money
We went with Africa Marvel Tours for the 2N Masai, 1N Nakuru package. Everything was smooth and we had a great experience. Our guide, Peter, was very sweet and we had a great time on the safari with him. The only feedback I would give is that the team is not proactive with their communications after the booking is confirmed. Perminus was handling our booking request and he was always responsive to any queries we had, but we would have liked if he was more proactive with sharing trip details and being in touch with us. After paying the deposit a month and half back, we did not hear from the team until the week of our arrival and that too because we reached out. Proactive communications from them would definitely help to ease any pre-trip anxieties for travellers. Small things like these make a difference in customer delight. Nevertheless, I would definitely recommend them for the safari experience.

Incredible Wildlife, Expert Guide, and Delightful Accommodations!
We are incredibly satisfied and cannot forget our unforgettable experience in Tanzania and its breathtaking National Parks. The safari was truly amazing, and we had the privilege of witnessing a plethora of animals. In Serengeti and Ngorongoro, we were thrilled to see numerous lions, and we were even lucky enough to spot leopards and cheetahs in Serengeti. Additionally, we explored Arusha National Park, which served as a wonderful starting point, and Tarangire, where we were mesmerized by the abundance of elephants.
Throughout the safari, it was just the two of us in the jeep, and our guide Ayubu was not only friendly but also astonishingly adept at spotting animals from afar.
While some of the roads were bumpy, and the drive to Serengeti presented its challenges, the overall experience was truly remarkable. We genuinely cherished every moment of our time in Tanzania.

Great care of us!
Ok, Kilimanjaro was super hard, I had altitude sickness from day 2, got cold and overall realized mountain climbing is harder than I thought! However, I’m reviewing the team and the company and it was all excellent! We had three porters each, great cook and 2 guides for 3 people and they made our experience very nice. They were welcoming, encouraging us to get to the end and personally one of the guides Isa dragged me the last 30 mins to the summit, otherwise I wouldn’t have made it. Emmanuel was the lead guide and he was very knowledgeable, took great care of us but also encouraged us with some songs and silly chants when we were about to give up going up the summit. So, don’t underestimate how difficult this can be, try hiking up another 4K mountain first just to see how it goes, have enough warm clothes cause it’s damn cold all the time, but if you do decide to go this company is solid. Have enough cash for tipping cause apparently at Kili it is more than expected on other hikes, as if you are going solo you might not be in the big group and because of laws you cannot carry a lot of stuff so you’ll have a lot of porters. Approx 20% on top of what you paid for the trip is a recommendation so have that in mind.

Amazing experience in the wild
We spent 3 days and 2 nights respectively in Salt Lick Lodge and in Kibo Camp (in front of Kilimangiaro). We visited 3 parks: amboseli was incredible! We saw lots of animals like lions, elephants, hippo, etc. Our guide Daniel was very nice giving is the possibility to Make lots of nice pictures! Alice as Morning Star’s tour operator was available 24hours for any kind of assistance. We liked Amboseli a lot with Kilimangiaro’s view: thanks to our guide Daniel we visited also a Masai Village in front of Kilimangiaro. Here we entered in touch with local culture and traditions.
