Amazing trip
We had an absolutely amazing trip with our guide Moses. We went to Lake Naivasha, Mt. Longonot and then to Masai Mara. Moses was very pleasant, kind and a good driver. We got to see so many beautiful sceneries and also so many more animals than expected. We feel very lucky to have had this experience!

Awesome experience!! Well coordinated, informative, and super friendly people...
We LOVED our experience with Mali Kale Africa Safaris. It was coordinated by Richard, who was a pleasure to meet and work with. Richard met us at the airport and he saw us off before leaving to sadly return home. Our guide - Alfred - was extremely knowledgeable, prompt, informative, honest, accommodating, and altogether perfect for our visit.
Our tour included 4 days in Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti, and Lake Manyara... We were very fortunate to see ALL of the major wildlife, including first hand witness of a cheetah stalking and successfully catching a gazelle, a leopard in a tree, several hyenas up close, lions (both pride and pair of males) lounging around, and of course a myriad of elephants, ostriches, zebras, wildebeest, eagles, giraffes, jackals, gazelles, impala, vultures, buffalo, and much much more.
I have been all over the world and I have done several similar tours (safaris in Botswana/Zambia, S. Africa, Galapagos, Brazilian Pantanal, etc) and I can say with confidence that this tour and the team at Mali Kale was very professional, diligent, organized, and pretty much on top of everything!!

Excellent organization, everything smooth, no problems at all, highly recommended !
We were very happy with Shemeji, communication via email was quick and easy, everything went as planned, our guide/driver was a very nice young guy, he was patient with us and listened to what we aksed him for, he also apparently liked the animals and nature which was cool too.
We had no problems at all during the trips, the accommodation was also perfect, same with the food. Overall experience was just great. Thank you very much Shemeji team !

Amazing 6-day safari lead by a knowledgeable & friendly guide!
First off, Paul was an amazing contact to have as we were choosing and booking safaris. He was very accommodating and attentive to many questions we had. The hotels we booked were nice, but we did notice that if the hotel isn't very full, you do order off a menu. We thought they all had buffets. I have a gluten allergy, and some places were more accommodating that others. Dinner was easy to accommodate, but most packed-lunches were subpar, just filled with fruit. I would suggest being more vocal and specific about any needs or requests.
Our guide, James, was great the whole trip! He was extremely knowledgeable and amazing at spotting the animals. We always felt comfortable on the road with him, and he answered every single one of our questions! We saw EVERY animal possible, including all of the Big Five. James made sure that we made it over to any big event or rare animal. We were able to see the wildebeest migration too!
I highly recommend Tanzania Roadside Expeditions!!

Very good service, kindness, flexibility and fast coordination even for custom-made trip
We had a custom-made trip starting in Rwanda, going over to the Ugandan side, and then back again to Rwanda. Gorilla Tours took care of this from start to finish (all in all 3 days). We were very happy with the exciting Gorilla trekk (and the fact that we got to see so many gorillas with guides who were extermely skilled and new a lot). We also really liked the entertaining Batwa trail and all the beautiful nature and landscapes around. So amazing and so colorful!

Perfect from start to finish
Having never visited Africa before my wife and I wanted to see the “Big 5” but also wanted an African experience.
Our guide Gilbert took us on a 5 day tour of Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro where everything was taken care of.
Gilbert gave us a clear explanation of what we would be doing each day and what we should expect in terms of driving times, what we would see, food and accommodation.
The three different areas were very different and we were spoiled with a huge variety of animals. Gilbert was well connected with the other guides and took us to the best places for observing wildlife up close. We were continually amazed by his ability to spot animals from crazy distances and took time to help us find them with the binoculars provided. His skills went beyond the big game with an ability to name any bird, tree or plant we we interested in.
The accomodation was comfortable and the food on site was well prepared with great lunch boxes each day.
As a driver by profession I am not generally a good passenger but Gilbert safe driving style and ability to manoeuvre the rough roads and muddy tracks made me feel comfortable. He treated the Land Cruiser like it was his own cleaning it inside and out each day making the experience even more comfortable.
I would highly recommend Lion King Adventures if you want a well organised safari. Make sure you ask for Gilbert!

Incredible
We went to Imbali Safari Logde for our honeymoon. All really incredible, experts guides, we saw lions, leopards, African buffaloes, hyenas, herds of elephants, giraffes, ostriches and many more!
The room was very comfortable, spacious and clean, very good food, different menus every day. Really highly recommended.
The best was the agency Traipsing Africa, Sandra attended us, 100% available on whatsapp, for all our questions (they were not few, being the first time on a safari), helped us coordinate the arrival and our stay in Johannesburg, Sandra is very reliable and executive to resolve all our concerns.
As I said, 100% recommended.

Beyond amazing
Introduction
My partner and I booked a 14 days private Safari with Jadi Safaris including 1 day City Trip, Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Samburu and finally ending in Amboseli. Mercy from Jadi Safaris customer desk was nice to communicate too as she listened to all our requests keenly and was always ready to help incase of any problem. She answered our emails promptly from first day to the last day. She helped us with almost everything from choosing the parks to visit, accommodations to book, vehicles to use and even the kind of guides we wanted. I will admit that they did a great job. After the arrival at the airport a driver from the company picked us up and dropped us off to our hotel (ibis) where we would spend two nights.
Day Trip
The following day, we were to go for a day trip within Nairobi city. Our guide/driver Stanley picked us up from the hotel on time and drove through the city. Our first stopover was at The Tom Mboya stature. From our guide explanation he was one of the trade unionists who always aired issues in regards to laborers during and after the colonialism. He also set up several labour institutions in Kenya. We also made a stopover at the Dedan Kimathi stature. From our guide explanation we understand he was a hero and leader of the MauMau uprising that fought against the British colonial rule. We also visited Kenya archives where we got the chance to learn so much about the Kenyan History and the worriers who helped fight for the Kenyan independence. We later visited Bomas of Kenya and had an opportunity see the different dancing styles and music instruments from different tribes. I personally had an opportunity to join the dancers while they danced the “Luo dance”. It’s was a way new experience. We visited the different huts built by the different tribe in Kenya and The Masai hut was the most interesting one.
Masai Mara Trip
Our Masai Mara Trip also started on high notch, as we made a stopover at the view point where we had an opportunity to take nice pictures of the great RiftValley escarpment. We also had a chance to buy the Masai Ornaments like necklaces and sandles. The terrain was exceptional and awesome something I had never come across before. Our guide Stanley helped us spot the Big 5 during the fast day game drive. We were also opportunistic to see the wildebeest crossing at the Mara River. The accommodations at Jambo Mara Camp was great. The meals we delicious and in plenty.
Lake Nakuru Trip
At Lake Nakuru Park we saw loads of animals including the Black and White Rhinos. We also saw flamingos at the shore of the lake. Our guide Stanley went out of his way to ensure we visited Lake Bogoria something that was not included in the itinerary. Indeed this company does magic on your Safaris. They alway sparkle the trip with nice and great surprises. The accommodations and meals here we great.
Samburu Trip.
Samburu Trip was an amazing one too though long. We saw many animals and also experienced the uniqueness of the park. We had a chance to interact with the Turkana people and experience their unique cultures from dressing, meals and their way of living. The accommodations were good and services in the lodges were great too. Meals were so delicious.
Amboseli Trip
Amboseli Trip was great. The favorite part was viewing the Mt Kilimanjoro alongside the big elepants. We had a chance to see an elephant “charging” I understand this happens when they get provoked or angered. I have great photo gallery of our 14 days Trip with Jadi Safaris.
Appreciation
We really thank Jadi Safaris for making our dream come true. You designed everything has we wished for and even went an extra mile to give us a bonus (Lake Bongoria). We have carried great memories with this Safari and we really thank the entire Jadi Safaris team to giving us an outstanding experience.
