Wildly Awesome
This is my first ever visit to Kenya (Eastern Africa). Kenya is best destination for holidays due to the reason that it has beautiful climate, best wild life safaris, amazing landscape, breath taking lakes and birds centuries. Above all people are very friendly and disciplined. All type of food is easily available even Halal Food.

I was part of a larger group that booked Migration Venture Africa for our safari adventures.
The people who are part of Migration Venture Africa were all great, as I found all Tanzanians to be. The company was very attentive to any issues or concerns, however my only request would be that they invest in newer safari vehicles. The vehicle I was in ended-up breaking down along side the road, after a day and half fidgeting with the radiator.

Tanzania Adventures!
Off Season Adventures (OSA) and Tanner Knorr created a wonderful Tanzanian tour which filled me with an immense appreciation for this unique country. Tanner arranged every aspect of this memorable adventure for my son and me. We explored five Tanzanian parks, which Tanner recommended, including the glorious and historical Serengeti National Park. The scenes overwhelmed me with a variety of wild animals, including cheetahs, leopards, elephants, the rare rhinos and lions, to name just a few.
Our seasoned and professional guide, Hosea, was an invaluable source for locating and describing not only the plethora of animals, but also sharing his wealth of knowledge about the local culture and unique landscapes. My vacation was relaxing due to the clean and well-managed accommodations. My son and I would frequently observe colorful birds and picturesque sunrises from our room’s windows or balcony. The unique food in Tanzania was delicious and healthy, including the nourishing lunches I boxed up in the morning at each accommodation. The local people, the Maasai, were very polite, caring, and friendly. Some of the other tribes we visited lived off the land, some were farmers, and a few were tool and metal craftsmen. Tanner provided a detailed description of what we would experience during each excursion so we could choose exactly what we wanted to do during the trip.
I would highly recommend Off Season Adventures (OSA) to anyone who is eager to explore Tanzania to its fullest. This trip opened my senses and created unbelievable memories in this natural setting. I can’t wait to book another OSA tour to Tanzania!

Excellent organisation of a 3-day Safari and 1-day Kilimanjaro walk.
With Seven Wonders, I booked a 3-day safari in Tanzania and I confirm that the whole safari was incredible and very well organized. Our guide Erick was very professional and very helpful. I booked also a 1-day Kilimanjaro walk, and this was also very well organized. My guide Joseph was very knowledgeable and very helpful during the whole day of our walk up to Mandara Hut. Congratulations to Seven Wonders and its Manager for the Excellent organization of my tours in Tanzania.

Great fun 7 day safari
We dealth with Lennox at Axis safari. Booking process was easy and straighforward. Lennox was prompt and detailed with his responses. Our driver for the trip was James. He was great fun, informative and proactive. We went for the 7 day option, 3 days in the Maasi Mara, 2 at the lakes and 2 at Amboseli. Maasi Mara was the highlight of the trip as expected. Amboseli comes in second with a lot of close encounters with elephants. We stayed at the Kibo lodge at Amboseli, we highly recommend Kibo. Axis also helped us with booking the hotel in nairobi, we stayed at After 40 which was a good little hotel.
We highly recommend Axis Safari.

Adventure is out there. Ben makes it happen.
We chose Karibu Safaris in Kenya to go on a 6 day safari to Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli and it was the best decision.
What should I say? No words could possibly describe the feeling you get when you're on safari. It's an adventure full of moments that take your breath away. I constantly felt in love with the world. The amount and range of animals we've seen, the ever changing landscapes and the colours (especially at sunrise and sunset) will just burn into your soul.
But all that wouldn't have been possible in that way if it wasn't for our amazing guide Ben. He was the best!!! He knew where to find the animals and he brought us so close to them. When we wanted him to stop for a photo he did. When we wanted to stop for coffee/beer at a lodge he did. Ben was very knowledgable and taught us a lot. He has also given us some tips like for example: when we arrived at the campsite at Amboseli National Park our first game drive was going to be at 8am. But he told us that if we get up for sunrise it's the best time to see Kilimanjaro - and honestly that was one of my best Kenya moments! Watching the sunrise, seeing Kilimanjaro changing its colours and there was a giraffe with a baby passing by, too. One hour later the clouds covered the mountain. So thank you Ben!!! :) Now that I'm in the gratitude part of the review: Thank you Ben for saving our lunch from the cheeky baboons, too!
Another thing: Traffic in Kenya is a bit crazy and I'm a very bad passenger, but I fully trusted Ben's driving skills. I didn't worry about it once and that means something! Hakuna Matata :) Plus he's got a great playlist!
I don't know what else to say as words really can't describe it. Maybe this says a lot: I'll go back to Kenya next year and book the same tour with Ben again!
Guys, don't worry, just book the thing! You won't regret it! It's an adventure you'll never forget.
There's just one danger... you're probably aware of the travel bug - once you start travelling you want to travel more and more. I think there must be a safari bug, too because I thought it's enough to do a safari once in a lifetime but even though we've seen every animal I will go back again!
Again: Thank you Ben and see you next year!

Serengeti Safari (2 night; 3 days)
Uhuru provided our group of 4 a great experience through Asilia Camps (we stayed at Sayari Camp in the northern Serengeti) and made plane travel between Zanzibar and the Serengeti seamless. Everything was on time and we had a remarkable experience seeing almost all of the animals one can see in the Serengeti.
The one major drawback about our experience was the unexpected fees. Although we had paid in full up front upon booking in May ($1,250 USD/person), Uhuru contacted us two weeks prior to our safari and demanded that we pay $1,200 USD more ($300 USD/person) as "costs had risen and the government had instituted new taxes." We were alarmed at this situation and did extensive research on new government taxes, but found that no new taxes had been levied in approximately a year. We were discouraged by the price increase but paid anyway, believing there would be no other opportunity for such a late booking. After the conclusion of our safari (back in Stone Town), we were required to pay our Uhuru-scheduled taxi shuttle driver an extra $50 USD even though Uhuru had promised that there would be no additional fees. We had a wonderful time overall, but these unexpected fees were frustrating and added a great deal of stress unnecessarily.
