A pre-Valentines trip to Abardares National Park
Bovid Africa safaris has the best staff members... From Alex Mwangi ( the driver) and Diana Jerop Serem ( tour guide) they made our trip so smooth and comfortable ..... We got to learn a lot from the trip and it was fun fanticing on the road and looking forward to seeing so many wild animals..... Since it was my first time visiting a National Park I was so excited and for the first time I got to see the big natural forest filled with Bamboo trees and different species of trees... .. Children were excited to see monkeys and different species of birds .... There is one I even named it "Kuku" because they looked like hens with their chicks... We came across Buffaloes.. warthogs and antelopes...We were looking forward to see elephants since there were traces of it's dung .... The natural breeze from the waterfalls especially Chania falls and it's scenery was another epic moment.... at around 4 pm... We drove back home as Diana answered so many questions as we laughed and shared the experience... Thank you Bovid Africa safaris for the amazing trip to Abardares

Amazing experience of Nairobi City
2 weeks back before we travelled to Nairobi Kenya, I contacted Anthony the owner of Entince Africa for guidance about the hotel to stay in. He recommended Western Meridian hotel in the heart of Nairobi city which really worked for us. He also assisted with Nairobi City Tour including a visit to Nairobi National Park. All in all our Nairobi Tour was flawless. We hope to visit other parts of Kenya in a few months to come and will surely use Entice Africa Safaris again.

Excellent in every way!
It was an incredible journey of our lives! I am very happy that we selected geoDiscovery Tours to organize this trip! We did Serengeti National Park and Lake Natron a couple of days and it was unforgettable !!! In terms of communication, geoDiscovery Tours was always quick, informative and friendly. Our guide Max was also just perfect because he knows the parks and the animals and the people so well that we could really understand nature and the people who live in this beautiful country. The safari was breath-taking and exceeded all of our expectations! We had many incredible experiences; for example, we will never forget to see lioness on a hunt or a beautiful sleeping leopard right next to us. Max has an incredible eye for spotting animals from afar. So we were always the first and sometimes only car that saw the animals and he knows a lot about all animals and also plants, so it was very interesting to discover all these animals and wild life through him.
Thanks for the amazing experience!

Apodiformes fulfilled a dream of a lifetime to Africa in all they did!
We were never once disappointed in our Safari adventure. Apodiformes made all arrangements and communicated them to us. Everything went smoothly during our trip to Africa. Our Covid testing in Africa was planned and was easily completed. The beach stay after our Safari was Heaven and we were treated like royalty during the whole trip!

Excellent safari with Lappet Faced safaris
The company were great to deal with in advance in putting together the right itinerary. We saw everything we hoped to see on this trip and the accommodations were perfectly chosen.
The vehicle was clean and well maintained.
Naftal was a fabulous guide and host, from meeting us at the airport with smile, through all our game drives and lunches. Knowledgeable, friendly, well presented, and also a bird expert! Excellent for our trip.

Amazing time ! Saw the great 5 in one go!
We had excellent time in a 4x4 keep with our amazing driver and guide Ken.
We managed to see not only the five great animals from a very short distance but also some of the rarest ones such us Leopard and black rhino as well.
The camp was also nice and got the chance to feed baboons!
Only positive words for this amazing experience!
Thank you Ken for all the marvelous moments, persistence and punctuality!
Best moment in Kenya!

Professional crew which loves what they do!
Setup: we booked a 5 days Mount Kenya trip (basic setup with tent) and a 9 day private safari in from mount Kenya to Diani Beach (more luxury than mid). Due to corona every was very quite and most resorts had only a few guests + we were alone on the mt. Kenya. So perfect time to enjoy yourself.
Tdlr: we loved it.
+ very experienced crew
+ because of the size of the org. fallback options
+ very good local network of the guides/driver (which is key to see game or sth unexpected happens)
+ you can (besides 100$) pay on arrival with a fair $/€ rate
+ easy and fast planning/communication via whatsapp
+ The owner matched us with a fun and very knowledgeable guide/driver who loves his job and lives and breathes game drives. We saw the big five and since he knows a lot of ppl you will have some special experiences a normal group wouldn’t have access to. We highly recommend you to ask for Kikitu as a guide!
Important note: keep in mind that on top of the costs for the booking following tips are expected by the crew: All per day for the group. 20$ For the mountain guide; 15$ for the cook and 10$ per porter (we had 3); for the driver/guide are no real recommendations but plan with at least 10$ per person per day. We also tipped 10$ per night for the resort crew.
Mt. kenya: We had a very experienced crew on the mountain with a great cook (crazy what Peter prepared on the mountain / don’t bring your own food on top...) and a guide (Charles) who was on top of everything + had the right feeling for attention. We liked how he handled the situation of lite altitude sickness. Be aware that most routes on the mountain include a 1000m climb on one day which is normally to much in these heights and often leads to headaches (or worse). So plan with a rest / light day. The tent was very good. Only recommendation - if you have already a nice and light mattress - bring it.
Safari: due to corona it was very quite where ever we went. Which means: few cars hunting one leopard, empty pools, very attendant bar keepers, best rooms/views in the lodges and dinner a la cart instead of buffet. Best lodge we had was “the cliff” esp. in terms of food and room. All other lodges where also outstanding in terms of views (game in front of your room/tent) and service (we could always choose between to when we planned the trip)! I could imagine that in normal time they are not so quite and the common areas could feel a bit more like a canteen in Disneyland.
We had a 4x4 car which you don’t need but was of course more comfortable and allows you to get to some points which wouldn’t be accessible otherwise.
We had 9 days and stayed in only two resorts for two nights. Since the distances between the parks a quite long (often 4-7h) we would recommend to do more 2 night stops and discuss the travel times with your agency when you book/plan - otherwise it can get quite exhausting. We took most of the time lunch to go to - to make the trip a bit more relaxed. We enjoyed the 9 days since all parks have a different scenery but probably 6-7 days would be enough to get a good overview and see most of the animals.
Thanks a lot to the crew!!!
