Very knowledgeable and friendly
We had an awesome time with Suricata! It was nice being in a small group with four other travelers. Our guide Frederick and chef Tito were both amazing. Fred has so much knowledge of the animals and nature and we learned so much from him. Tito prepared delicious hot breakfasts, lunches, and dinners every day. Having a small group and great staff really helped to create great camaraderie. The safari was definitely a top experience that me and my wife have ever shared.

Collins is a kind, professional and experienced guide who made our trip to Kenya unforgettable.
My boyfriend and I have the most amazing 3 days on our safari. Our guide Collins made our trip a holiday we will never forget. From the first day our flight was delayed and Collins made sure we got some time in the safari park before it closed. His experience and knowledge of the parks and different species didn't go unnoticed and we left feeling like we experienced everything the parks offered. The service was top class and we will definitely be recommending our guide Collins and Karibu Safari to any of our friends who wish to explore Kenya. Thank you!

Always there to reply to our endless questions to ensure we had everything ready and sorted.
We recently came back from Loyk Mara Camp and loved it!! Newton at Bateleur replied to all our messages to ensure everything we wanted was included in our trip and made our wishes come true. The car was amazing and allowed us to have the best views of the animals. Our tour guide Amos was the BEST and gave us so much information on the animals across our 4 days - we learned so much and he had the most amazing knowledge of the Masai Mara. He managed to get the best stops and all the animals we didn’t think we’d get the chance to see. The camp was also amazing. Clean, comfortable, friendly and the food was incredible. Thank you for booking us a memorable trip!

Incredible Company, Amazing Experience, Wonderful People
My fiance and I have always dreamed of going on a safari, but didn't know where to begin when looking for companys and tours. We messaged around 20 different places using safaribookings.com and a few other sites, and Earthwings stood out immediately. After a few messages back and forth with Martin, we were sold that this was the best company to go with. It was clear Martin cared that we have a great experience and took time to answer our many questions promptly.
When we arrived in Kenya, we were greeted and picked up by the Earthwings team and brought to our hotel. The next morning we met our guide and now good friend Fredrick (Freddie). From the very first moment meeting Freddie we could tell he LOVED his job and was very passionate and knowledgeable about the parks and animals. We learned so much from him over the next 7 days at 4 different parks. Freddie is an expert in these animals and was able to find all 'Special 5' in our first afternoon. By day 3 we had already seen all 'Big 5'. He knew exactly where to go to find the animals and was fantastic and getting us in great position to get incredible photos. He was well connected with other guides in each park we went to which allowed us to get early access to sightings of rarer animals by other drivers before any crowds appeared. That was invaluable! When we return for a future safari, we will absolutely come to Earthwings and request Freddie again.
We are seasoned travelers having been to nearly 40 countries across to world and thanks to Earthwings, this trip ranks among some of the best experiences we have ever had abroad. They made the entire process simple and seamless. We are recommending them to everyone!

Namayiana Safaris got me into the spots that pro photographers dream of. culture and animals.
I'm an avid traveler and pro photographer from Canada. Namayiana are top shelf in their ability to find the unique wildlife and cultural experiences. From John and Corinna in constant contact to the lodges ( I highly recommend Enkorok Lodge) to the abundance of wildlife and village opportunities. Moses, Solomon, and Tony. You are my Maasai brothers and the most fantastic bush butlers a guy could hope for. An honor to see and be family. Many thanks and so highly recommended. I hope my photos speak the many words of appreciation.

Very well organised, professional and customer focused
My wife and went on the Walking Stick Travel & Tours 11 day Safari through the Okavango, Moremi, Khwai, Savuti & Chobe in September 2022. Our contact was Philimon and all our bookings were done via email with him. We travelled in one Land Cruiser (with trailer) with the Walking Stick Team of Elliot (Guide & Driver), Joe (Chef) and Kia (general support). Everything was well organised and the Team were such great fun to be with that we were sad the trip had to come to an end after the 11 days. The meals were varied and tasty, the game drives were very informative and interesting and we saw pretty much everything except Rhino during our game drives. During the drives we saw Cheetahs hunting, a leopard with a kill that had it stolen by hyenas, lions with their kill and many other sightings. The tents were very comfortable with shower and toilet in an enclosed area out the back of the tent. Warm water was brought to us every morning for our hand basin and shower. It was a great experience to lie at night in the tent listening to the sounds of the African bush before going to sleep. Afternoon game drives were always ended with a G&T and snacks around the fire followed by dinner near the campfire. All in all it was a fantastic experience and exceeded expectations. If you want to experience the real Africa with a great team and feel safe, then don't hesitate to book with Philimon and his team at Walking Stick Travel & Tours

Beautiful nature and excellent safariguide!
The communication with the company was very good, and we were in good hands from the minute we arrived. The taxidriver was very kind and helpful! I experienced the company as profesional and qualified to give us the best Safari. It was good service and we could always ask if it was anything we were curious about.
We got a lot of value for the money! We slept at budget lodged, and it was ok for sleeping as we were out on Safari the whole day and didn’t spent much time there.
The food was good, so thank you to our chef! We ate chicken, vetetables and rice/pilau. For breakfast we ate bread, omelet, pancakes and fruit. Drinks were included, which we found very nice.
We went to Tarangire and Ngogongoro, and I would go again! Really recommend it! :) We saw animals like elephants, giraffes, zebras, Lions, pumbas (warthodges) and so much more!! We also saw a rhino in ngorongoro!
I would recommend this company and our guide Malisa to everyone! Thank you for the great experience!

“ Trip of a lifetime, fully recommend Happy Moments Tours”
We just finished our five day safari with Happy Moments tour and our guide truly made the experience unforgettable.
This trip was a dream come true- not only did we get to see the big 5, many of them up close many times, our guide truly made the experience.He would get just as excited as we would about animal spottings which made it feel even more special.
He has an amazing ability to spot animals from far away all while driving along the park roads and then is able to find a closer position to get the best views. He has an in depth knowledge of all of the animals and it felt like we had our own encyclopedia in the car.
Great accomodation with Wi-Fi and great customer service.
We highly recommend Happy moments tours.

Guide was knowledgeable, friendly, fun and willing to take customer's needs into account.
If you are in Kenya and do not visit Masai Mara, it would be a mistake. Axis provided a great experience overall. Right from the start they were communicative with me texting back and forth offering me different options and dates that can fit my budget and schedule. Everything outlined in the schedule was followed and other potential options were offered during the safari to best fit the needs of the group. My guide, Khalifa, was very professional and a pro at what he does. He knew so much about the park, the surrounding area, and Kenya itself. He was consistently providing insights to me. In just 3 days, we saw so many animals, it would be too long to type, including cubs and big cats feeding. During this 3-month long trip visiting 7 different countries, this was the best value for money activity that I have done on the continent. Don't miss out on this opportunity, you will regret it.
