Enjoyed our Honeymoon!!
We had a great 4 day/3 night safari in the Masaai Mara and Lake Nakuru with Copious Africa Safaris for our honeymoon. Daniel was very responsive over email in the planning of the safari and answered all of our questions. He was willing to organize a payment option that made us feel somewhat more comfortable than just wiring all the money in advance (which in retrospect would've been fine if anyone reading this is having similar doubts). We also had issues paying for the visa online (a known issue - the website doesn't seem to like major American credit cards) and the timeline got down to the wire, but I called Daniel about 36 hours before we were supposed to leave and he got it all sorted. A HUGE relief. Finally, my husband had left his wallet, camera accessories and e-reader in one of the lodges and we didn't realize until a couple of days later. Daniel organized a pickup and hand delivered the items to our hotel in Nairobi.
The safari itself was great. Our guide and was very friendly and knowledgable about all the animals we saw - got all the Big 5, including some lion cubs and a leopard in a tree, which is apparently a rarity. He was well networked with all the other game drivers we saw, which I think was helpful in tracking down the animals. We went for the more expensive package for lodging because it was our honeymoon (which was not originally sent in the inquiry email but I asked about it after doing a little more research) and it did not disappoint. The prices were on par, if not slightly lower, than a couple of other companies we contacted, although definitely still an investment. That being said, the lodges were luxury at it's finest (Entim Mara and The Cliff) and some honeymoon surprises were organized for us to make us feel extra special.
Overall, it was a fantastic experience and we would recommend Copious Africa Safaris for anyone considering a safari in Kenya.

The five days were very beautiful and intense.
Isaya from Kihindotours looked after us very well. He always strived to make his guests happy. We were very impressed by the animal sightings with him. Lodges and food were also completely ok. The program was very well coordinated. We felt very comfortable and would go on safari with Isaya again at any time.
Thank you for the great time and all the best.

AWESOME TRIP in Kenya!!
I went on the internet with a goal, to book a Kenyan safari focused on Masaai Mara for photography. I was lucky enough to be connected with Copious Africa Safaris and Daniel. He was prompt, thorough and made sure to provide all of my specific requests. Daniel worked with my itinerary demands even down to the type of safari vehicle I wanted. I also have to give a shout out to my guide, Robert, who I would whole heartedly suggest you request his services. As a photographer with specific goals in mind, Robert was the perfect pair. His knowledge, patience and shared excitement for the wildlife made the trip special. Every morning we set a goal (a leopard or lion, a leopard in a tree, a leopard in a tree with a kill) and every morning we met our goal.
Truly a special trip and I would suggest anyone interested in a Kenyan Safari use Copious Africa Safaris.
PS Do the hot air balloon, you won't regret it.

An unforgettable experience
We did a 4 day 3 night safari with the CHALEMA agency, and we are fully satisfied.
In France, making contact was easy with very responsive exchanges. In addition, Joël listened to our wishes in order to organize a tailor-made safari.
On site, we were able to take full advantage of the stay since everything was managed by the agency. During our safari, we had Joël as a guide (there are 5 who work in the agency). By his side, we learned a lot throughout our stay. Both on the animals encountered and on the culture of the country. We were impressed by Joël's knowledge and his ability to understand the reactions of each animal. Thanks to this we were able to observe moments of life between the animals while other guides passed by.
Furthermore, I would like to underline an important point. When the majority of agencies serve sandwiches for lunch, we feasted on local dishes in large quantities.
Finally, if we had to do it again, we wouldn't change anything. Everything was perfect, from start to finish and I can only recommend this agency! Thanks again Joël and the whole team!

Competent, communicative, professional
We did a 4-day Safari combining lake Nakuru and Masai Mara with Image travel. We are overly satisfied. Everything was well organised and communication was transparent and professional from the beginning. Kudos to our Guide/ Driver Jasan who made the whole trip with his knowledge and expertise even more memorable. We can highly recommend!

Exceptional
We lived an unforgettable break in our life thanks to Tanzania Specialist, and all the people we met on our way.
We started with 6 days of safari with our Guide (Bazil Lema) alongside whom we saw fantastic landscapes and more animals than we thought we could see (Lions & Lionesses, Cubs, hippos, giraffes, elephants, zebras, wildebeest, buffaloes, gazelles, hyenas, monkeys, facochères... Bazil has a great knowledge and a deep respect for the fauna, flora and culture of his country. we learned a lot!
The Lodges were TOP, and special mention for BAOBAB and the extraordinary experience we had there. It's not every day that you hear Hyenas in the middle of the night!
Then we flew to Zanzibar for about ten days, where we had great encounters and activities, not to mention the magnificent landscape that the island offered us.
Everything was perfect !
Thanks

This operator is available and offers chances to get all our requests taken into account
Great experience with African Sermon Safaris.
From the first quote until the end of our trip, Daniel was available to answer our questions and gave us the solutions and the possibilities that we wanted to make the perfect trip comes true.
First we could have the chance to get in a 4x4 car which is clearly more comfortable even for a short trip.
Then, Alex was the perfect guide and driver who took care of us, took the time to explain all the things we saw and gave us the opportunity to meet the Big 5 in 3 days (we made a trip to massai mara national reserve and Nakuru Lake).
We also enjoyed sleeping in Lenchada Camp with all the accomodations needed (espacially private bathroom with hot shower and toilets in the room).
I highly recommand this operator as I did myself when I saw all the comments before on the internet and when I was wondering which one to choose to have the best organization.
