Good experience
Kilimanjaro, Marangu route:
Communication was quick and clear
Service:
- I was assigned with 6 porters (solo trip), which I believe is too much (there were 5 porters for a group of 2)
- Food is okay, but almost the same every day + they have not asked me about allergies and my preferences before the trip, thus I was not eating half of what they gave to me, but still, it was enough to be full
- Stuff was friendly
- They assigned additional porter for me during summit night (last minute call) and expected additional tips for that
Everything met my expectations
Overall, I would recommend Migration Venture Africa for summiting Kilimanjaro

Worth every penny! Amazing Journey through Tanzania
Our recent trip to southern Tanzania was perfect arrangement with 3 days in Selous followed by 1 day Mikumi ending with 4 days in Ruaha guided by the most professional guide Ernest. We got to experience uncharted territories in Tanzania secluded from huge crowds. We saw all the big five, numerous birds and different habitats ranging from the lush green dense forests and waterways of Selous to the dry woodlands savanah in Ruaha.
Accommodations were a mix of camping and lodges and very exclusive. I definitely recommend trying Ruaha Hill View Lodge for a truly wild lodging experience accompanied by excellent dining in Ruaha.

The best ever !!!
My family has known Benson for over 20 years long before he owned Ngoko. He has always been an outstanding guide and we have taken at least 6 trips with him. Every time we go we think that the last safari cannot be as good as the last one and EVERY time it is even more wonderful. We all cannot say enough about him and his company, Since Fiona's entrance our booking has become a real pleasure. Thanks to you both.

This has been a crazy year, we had to do something to loosen up a little bit.
Called up the squad after we realized that the curve was flattening and decided to take a little trip out of town. Having interacted with the secretariat at Hyrax Safaris on previous tours, we decided to try out with them and they never disappointed. From the planning, payment, hospitality and travel, everything was just wonderfully done. I was on this trip to blow off steam coz of work so I missed out on seeing the elephants at Amboseli but let's just say I'll be redoing the trip again with them coz they were amazing. As soon as the next trip is up, am sure I'll be joining coz you can never get enough on the road.
So Hyrax, tag me along as soon as COVID allows us to travel again.

Wonderful - and varied - safari experiences with a first-class guide
On a recent trip to Nairobi we booked a trip to Naivasha with Gametrackers which was so good we booked a trip to Amboseli for the following weekend. On both occasions we were really lucky to have Adrian to guide us. He has a degree in wildlife conservation, and knows a remarkable amount about the birds and animals, and about conservation and the ways in which the human environment is encroaching on the wildlife. Adrian also has quite remarkable eyesight, with an ability to spot and recognise animals in the distance that we could hardly see, which hugely enhanced our experience of the trips.
I would also recommend all of the trips we took.
The boat trip on Lake Naivasha was wonderful, not just seeing fish eagles, king-fishers and hippopotamus on the lake, but also seeing game onshore from the lake.
We took the cycle tour of the Hells Gate park, just near Naivasha, which is an extraordinary trip. Not only the freedom of being able to cycle through the park, past warthogs and buffalo, zebra and wildebeest, but also the geography of the park, with dramatic cliffs and gorges.
The the second weekend we went to Amboseli - a four hour drive but well worth it. The Amboseli reserve has a range of environments from marsh and swamp to dry savannah, all under the enormous presence of Kilamanjaro. We saw lions after a kill, elephants walking past the camp at breakfast, and most memorably, when Adrian spotted some bat-eared foxes with cubs, a Martial Eagle flew down and took one of the cubs.
I'd strongly recommend Gametrackers for putting together a custom tour to meet your needs. We had tremendous trips.

Great Safari
Amazing safari. We saw more than we expected. The guide - Ezekiel - was very helpful, punctual and stopped when we wanted to take some photos. He showed us animals that we would not notice. Great knowledge! I look forward to visiting Tanzania again, along with of course Tanzania Roadside Expeditions.

Epic Safari
My family and I planned a migration safari to Maasai Mara National Reserve. We started communicating with Phyllis and she was very reliable, patient and quick to answer all our questions via email. She was very professional and timely and gave us a very good package for 3 days to Maasai Mara where we had our accomodations at Jambo Mara Safari Lodge. The rooms were very neat and their food very delicious. Our driver George, enaured that we had an opportunity to spot all the Bigfive. We highly recommend anyone looking for a Kenyan safari to engage Millennium Tours and Travel.

very good support and implementation of our individual safari
we (2 girlfriends 50 years old) had already planned the safari in April, because of Corona we could not fly to Kenya. The communication with Isaac was without complications. He offered us directly, as soon as we knew a new date, he would ask for our desired lodges.
We were able to book a flight at short notice in October and again Isaac was always there to help us and could confirm all bookings. Several changes had to be made to the schedule, but all were quickly implemented.
We suggested our own lodges and the price was ok. Our driver Mike took good care of us and fulfilled all our wishes. He was a very pleasant attendant.
It has to be mentioned that we have already done several safaris with other operators and Mike was the first driver who also changed clothes every day and was very polite to us.
We will definitely plan and realize our next safari again with Isaac and his team.

Amazing Christmas holiday!
Last year l booked a Christmas safari for myself and my young children and what a life changing journey it was! Our guide Omary was always happy and full of knowledge and he went above and beyond for my kids - no request was too hard for him. I wanted a slower pace so booked a 7 day tour and it was amazing. We saw so many animals, met so many people and had the Christmas of a life time! We loved the Sound of Silence Tented Lodge in the Serengeti National Park and dream about going back. Thank you Sunset Adventure Safari for a fantastic Christmas holiday.
