Excellent communication with the tour operator.
My recent Kenyan safari trip, spanning Amboseli, Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru, and the Masai Mara, was a journey of incredible highs and a few unexpected lows, all guided by the capable David.
Firstly, let's celebrate the highs. David's expertise and passion for Kenyan wildlife and landscapes were second to none. His ability to spot and explain the behavior of animals was remarkable. Amboseli's iconic elephants, Lake Nakuru's rhinos, and the majestic wildlife of the Masai Mara all came to life under his guidance.
The accommodations in most locations were comfortable and immersed us in the beauty of the surroundings. However, Aa Lodge in Amboseli was a disappointment due to cleanliness issues, which marred an otherwise fantastic experience. It's crucial that such places maintain their standards to provide a memorable stay.
Unfortunately, the experience at Aa Lodge Masai Mara took another turn for the worse during payment. Their reluctance to accept card payments and the refusal to provide change when we paid in cash left us frustrated. Such issues can significantly affect the overall impression of a trip.
Despite these hiccups, David's dedication to responsible tourism and conservation shone through. He emphasized the importance of supporting local communities and protecting Kenya's natural treasures, which left a positive impact on our journey.
In conclusion, the Kenyan safari trip with David was a mix of breathtaking wildlife encounters, cultural enrichment, and a few bumps along the way. While the accommodations in Amboseli and the payment experience in Masai Mara left room for improvement, David's exceptional guidance and the beauty of Kenya's wilderness made it a memorable adventure overall.

Samuel is the best guide ever!
We had an unforgettable journey with the best guide. Accommodation was great, really close to the park, good food and staff. We even saw a cheetah and a hyena which is quite rare! We learned a lot from Samuel about animals and their behaviors, and received all support possible. Travel was comfortable, we felt very taken care of. Will recommend to all of our friends <3
- The only thing was a bit confusing with booking our accommodation on time, but we met Joseph in Nairobi and resolved it quickly.
Thank you and the best of luck with your business!

Reaching Mt. Meru Summit with Elia Safaris
Reaching Mt. Meru Summit with Elia Safari
With two friends I did a spontaneous 3 day Mt. Meru Trekking with Elia Safari and had one of the best experience of my lifetime.
They organised everything like transportation, guide, porters and also some hiking gear we hadn’t because we decided to do Mt. Meru 5 days before when we still were in Tanzania. It was all perfect.
Especially our Guide Gilberth was amazing! He knows so much about the envierment and nature around and we could asked any questions. Also he was so kind and communicative that we had really good conversations during the hike. He always took care and made us stay positive so we all reached the summit easily. Thanks for this so much!
When we come back for Kilimanjaro trekking we will definitely go with him again!!

Prompt, professional, friendly, accommodating and extremely helpful
This was our first tour experience in Tanzania and we were not disappointed. To the contrary, KASC, were as per above, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience.
Our sales contact, the manager that met us in Arusha, and our driver / guide were all extremely capable and pleasant to deal with. As with any holiday, there were a number of changes in the plans and KASC where very accommodating.
Thanks for a wonderful holiday KASC, you guys are the best!

Amazing Safari experience with William
We had a wonderful experience in this 2 days safari, hosted by William. He has been very kind and knowledgeable, always available to answer to any question. He showed us so many beautiful things and we have been able to see all of the main animals in the Mikumi Park!
Thank you so much William!

Excellent experience with Kaylan
It's a very wonderful and excellent experience with Kaylan. Special thanks to Victor, he is very kind and patient on our all requests and needs. And our lovely guide, John, he has a very good pure sight. On the last day on Masai Mara, we met over 30 lions. During the tour, we caught up with all BIG Five. And John was too nice to took pictures of us. He is a good photographer as well.

Excellent experience! Highly recommend
I highly recommend Crater Explorer!
Very good organization and communication.
Emmanuel was very responsive, professional and helpful in planning my trip.
And even if I had a limited time, I was able to do all the activities that I wanted to do thanks to Crater Explorer.
Everything went as planned, from the pick up at the airport, transfers to the accommodation and activities meeting points.
The safari in itself was amazing. I joined a great group and we saw lots of animals and beautiful landscape.
Camping in the wild was a great expererience and the food was delicious.
I also visited the Chemka hotsprings and Materuni waterfalls which were very beautiful and the coffee tour and local lunch were such a nice cultural experience.
I would definitely book with Crater Explorer again.

Wonderful experience: extremely punctual and easy :-)
There is the saying: "This is Africa". You should expect delays, creative deadlines, and challenges.
Not with Elephant Herd.
We had a wonderful time with no hiccups. They are extremely professional and punctual and what you say "yes to" is what you get. There were no times when we had doubts or any uncertainty.
The trip itself was amazing. We decided to go for a 4-day safari (in practice, this means 3 days, due to transport), which was a perfect length for us. It was super nice to both have a stay outside the park at Hazyview, but also have a night in the park. This gave two different experiences.
All the staff we interacted with were extremely nice and skilled.
