Dream come true!!! Unforgettable experience!!!
Our safari is finished and I have to say, everything was perfect and exactly as described on Safaribookings. We did 4 days: Tsavo East and Amboseli with Bienvenido Kenya Tours and Safaris. Our driver Mutemi arrived right on time and from the outset was friendly, professional and informative. He spoke English very well and we have learned so much from him about the animals, nature and culture! We spotted a lot of animals within the first hour and also during the other game drives. Our expectations have certainly been exceeded. The quality of the accommodation and food varied and was what we had expected or better. We recommend this webpage, Bienvenido tour operator and Kenya one hundred percent.

Beautiful
Wildlife was little low because of the flooding but we saw enough. We went with Samemo Tours and they were just amazing, they took very good care of us and helped us in any way!

Wonderful Wildlife!
I thought my trip to Madagascar was amazing. I went for 2 weeks with Natural Habitat Adventures in the Summer of 2013. We saw 21 species of lemurs, an endless number of birds, with many endemics, and lots of chameleons. Our accommodations were superb and our two guides were both very knowledgeable and friendly.

Thomas kept everyone motivated and having a good time, whilst ensuring everyone made it to the top!
My trip to Kilimanjaro exceeded all expectations. Even though we had to get through some bad weather in the first two days the tour guide ensured everyone stayed positive and motivated. The food was great and the guides and team done everything they could to make the trip as comfortable as possible.
Out team all made the top of the mountain which was great and our tour guide Thomas went the extra mile and met the whole team for dinner when we made it back down from the mountain.
All in all a great trip and highly recommended!

Incredible journey with lovely people in an amazing country!
Our experience with Australken was just perfect! We spent amazing 9 days on safari in Tsavo East, Amboseli, Lake Naivasha, Masai Mara and Nairobi. We had excellent food, every day freshly cooked by our lovely cook who even stood up at 5am to prepare picnic lunch for us. Moreover we had the most competent driver who safely took us for hours and hours to the best locations and informed us with his huge knowledge about animals and nature. Whatever we wanted to see or do, our guides made it possible. The accommodations were lovely chosen as they were in local ownership , cosy, clean and located very near the parks. The whole organizing of the tour was very professional and created on our wishes. When we told our organizer that we planned to do some trips after the safari, she spontanously organized a 2-nights-trip to the coast for us within one day for an excellent price and with a reliable driver. We thank the whole Australken Team very much for this wonderful journey that we will never forget. We would always choose Australken Tours again!! Thank you a lot.
Many greetings Anne and Betsy from Germany. :)

A trip worth repeating!
The fact that there were other high-end safari options out there, I felt that Silver Spark Africa safaris was the best bang-for-your-buck option out there. While going through the booking process Abongo, was extremely quick to respond to any questions or concerns we had.
After being reassured of the itinerary for our 7-day Masai Mara safari, we went ahead and placed our deposit a few weeks before we were scheduled to be in Kenya.
Once we arrived in Nairobi from our long flight from the USA, we were picked up by Silver Spark Africa safaris driver. From there, we departed on the 6-hour journey to Masai Mara. Along the way, we stopped at various shops and a restaurant to grab souvenirs, food, and drinks. Kepha (driver) was so helpful, he knew all the answers to our questions as well.
Arriving at our camp before dinner, we had a short game drive in Masai Mara. Kepha was quick to radio other drivers (might have been 5 other drivers) to see where all the animals were. He eventually caught wind of a lion and lioness together, so we headed there and saw these majestic animals.
While we were on the drive, our reservation was being set up since that evening, we decided to spent at the cam with our own cook arranged by Abongo. The cook was busy at camp cooking up a delicious dinner meal. The dinner meals typically consisted of beef, a vegetable, bread, water, coffee and tea. While breakfast was usually a Spanish omelet, juice, potatoes, coffee and tea. The food cooking is amazing and kept us well-nourished throughout the safari.
The following days consisted of more game drives where we went all over Masai Mara, close to the Tanzania border, the Mara River, and much more. All while passing thousands of zebras and wildebeests, buffalos, giraffes, elephants, cheetahs, and more. There were times when I caught myself smiling from how amazing this experience was.
Book with the confidence knowing that you will have an amazing time. I cannot recommend Silver Spark Africa safaris enough.

Overland Safari gave us safari of a lifetime
We chose the 12 day Tanzania cultural tourism and game drives safari. The safari took us to Arusha NP, Tarangire NP, Lake Manyara NP, time with the Hadzabe and Datoga tribes, Lake Natron with Maasai, and Serengeti NP and Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Willy handled all the arrangements to perfection. Our guide Richard had such a sharp eye, we never would've seen most of the animals and birds were it not for him. We saw all the large animals except the leopard and 140 species of birds. Richard was a wealth of knowledge, not only about all the birds and animals but also about the Parks, the country, the people and politics. He always had a field guide ready after we saw animals/birds and to offer more detailed pictures of male/female differences or immature species. Richard was an amazing driver, wrangling our Land Cruiser through mud, gullies and rivers safely. Our accomodations were lovely luxurious lodges and a luxury tented camp in the Serengeti and the food was delicious. Every park had it's own beauty and variety of animals and birds. We enjoyed immensely all our different local guides and everyone we met on our trip were so kind and helpful. We highly recommend Overland Safari.

The best experience of our trip!
Margaret helped us find and organize all the details of our two-day safari to Selous in September 2019. The plane travel, the hotels and even our guide for the safari were perfect, they took care of the details to the maximum.
The best experience of our trip, thank you very much to Margaret for helping us to have everything on time, even with the last minute contingencies!

Wonderful trip to Zimbabwe and Botswana with excellent organization and very competent guides
We travelled with Falcon Safaris in Zimbabwe and Botswana for 16 days. Falcon designed a wonderful trip with private guide to the most interesting sites in both countries. The organization of the whole trip was excellent, flights within the country, accommodation and activites. The guides were very knowledgable and told us a lot about the countries, their history, people, economy and much more. We visited the Great Zimbabwe Ruins, the Victoria Falls and a number of national parks in both countries.
Rhino tracking was a real adventure! We had tremendous further game drives and saw very many animals - we did the Big Five. We had much more activities than planned and enjoyed very much.
Accommodation was according to our wishes very different, luxury lodges, chalets, tented camps and camping in the wild, but always with clean facilities. Food was varying as well but always very good.
Falcon Safaris communicated the whole time with us so we felt safe. We strongly recommend Falcon Safaris to everyone planning a trip to Southern Africa and East Africa
