I feel blessed at having discovered Tarakwai Safaris.
I had an absolutely amazing experience with Jay and generally Tarkwai Safaris and I can just highly recommend everyone to book their safari with the Tarakwai ! I really had an incredible time!
Our guide Johnson was super knowledgeable and told us so much about all the different animals, the nature and in general the Tanzanian culture, which was absolutely great! He was also super funny and always in a really good mood which made the car rides really enjoyable and we had a lot of fun. He also knew exactly where to find the animals up close and knew all the different spots where not many other safari cars would go to. Also, our chef (forgot the name) was absolutely great! The food was super delicious and really everything tasted so good! He prepared many vegetarian alternatives for me as well, which was really nice!
All in all, I had an unforgettable experience! Everything was super well organized from the start to the end and our guide Johnson and chef were absolutely amazing! So, I can can 10/10 recommend Tarakwai Safaris!

Amazing experience with Isaya for a 10 day safari including Nyerere, Mikumi, Ruaha and Udzungwa! He was always quick to respond to all my questions from the moment I requested a quote from Kihindo Safaris. Very personable, knowledgeable about the animals and their behaviors and has a good eye for finding animals in the parks. All around amazing person, through his expertise and personality made it the trip of a lifetime. I wouldn’t book with anyone else. He went above and beyond to make sure I had exactly the safari I requested. All around exceptional experience :)

Best birdwatching experience
Best bird watching safari experience I’ve had so far in Kenya. They arranged the best guide, Tony, who knew all birds by head to be with us. That was our main highlight.We definitely recommend them for your safaris in Kenya.

Excellent company
Beautiful family trip. 5 people including 3 children aged 6, 10 and 15 years. Excellent reception. We visited Samburu and Masai Mara parks and Ol Pejeta reserve. Every day we saw beautiful animals, while nursing puppies, playing, hunting, including the big five, and, in Samburu, the special five. Our guide, Henry, very knowledgeable, was friendly and also fun. Always professional. Everithing was well organised, starting from the pick up at the airport and throughout the duration of the trip, well organized in detail and always comfortable. Accomodations and meals were beyond our expectations.

Brilliant
Richard was an amazing tour guide. From the first email to our final goodbye attention was paid to every detail to make our safari a wonderful once in a lifetime experience.
It was so much fun traveling around Uganda with someone so knowledgeable about the country. We learnt so much. The safari itself was unreal. Richard had everything planned perfectly and was also able to be flexible enough to add little extras in that would be of interest to us.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Richard, he was wonderful and trip was wonderful. We also happened to be there during the World Cup and again Richard arranged for my hubby to be able to watch games at as many lodges he could in advance and even went as far to organize dinners with a tv there as he knew we would enjoy that at the end of a busy day. We never asked for that it again is just an example of how special Richard tried to make our experience.
We were sad saying goodbye to Richard and really felt like we were saying goodbye to a friend.
If you want a once in a lifetime travel experience do not hesitate to contact Richard @ Wild Travel Safari you will not be disappointed.

Across the Wild Tours & Safaris offers a great experience at a good value
Operator was planned but flexible. They customized our itinerary and were able to weave in a couple extras like boat ride and hot air balloon. Reachable and responsive throughout our time in Africa. Assigned us a very happy, knowledgeable, courteous, articulate driver who aimed to please. David delivered every committed game drive, sunset, sightings and everything else we asked of him. Accommodations felt safe and all staff were super friendly and helpful. Only 2 things were not ideal for us: 1) food. Most certainly good quality and tasty, but we are not adventuresome eaters and craved PB&J or a hamburger; restaurant bar and staff were great! 2) beat the clock. sometimes we needed a kick in the pants at a roadside shop or lunch to avoid having to make up for lost time or risk being too late for entry to a park, for example. I would recommend across the Wild Tours & Safaris. Do your homework to set expectations. Enjoy the experience of a lifetime.

Excellent budget experience
Selecting a budget safari I expected some shuffling between tour groups and basic accommodations but I was quite pleasantly surprised by both. I switched tours three times but each time was smooth and all three guides were good. The accommodations were all very interesting and some of them were quite comfortable. I was provided with water each day and three meals and the meals were very tasty. And the best part was the amazing animals seen on the safaris. Thanks for the excellent experience.

Peafowl Tours hosted us with the utmost kindness, professionalism and knowledge
It was my first time to Africa, and I am confident I had the most fun and best experiences possible!
If you're looking for an experienced team, who care about you having the best travel experience as much as you do, and are able to make your budget feel like so much more, choose Peafowl!
I typically don't like planned or packages travel experiences, because I enjoy spontaneity and experiences when traveling. After my recent trip with Peafowl, I am confident I would not have had such an amazing experience without their help!
I was there with a large group and we had several days of work planned, yet Jane and Damaris managed to set us up so that we felt on vacation the entire time. We stayed at amazing hotels and our downtime and travel time were filled with adventure and plenty of time for relaxing.
If ever we saw something we wanted to do outside of the itinerary, Peafowl Tours were incredibly accommodating and made sure to find a way to make it happen.
I never felt rushed, or that I missed out on anything, because of their careful planning. All of our guides were so helpful, and knowledgeable. We learned so much, never got lost, and felt in capable hands the entire trip. We had several different location changes and every single trip was seamless from luggage transfers, check ins, and communication was always clear!
We did so much, stayed comfortably and traveled comfortably all within our set budgets of travel volunteers. We were able to experience the food, the wildlife, the sights, and shopping, as well as the goodness and kindness of the locals and our hosts without ever missing a beat or photo opportunity!
Our safari guides were part of the Peafowl group, which gave us the intimate experience of getting to know what we wanted to see, being able to communicate! When we wanted to stick around the lions for longer, or see more elephants that day, or stay out longer, Ken, Sydney, Surat and Dancan, made sure it happened. They took care of us and made sure we had an incredible time.
Patrick, our driver and guide, he deserves is own blurb! Really, his kindness and knowledge, and clear love for Kenya, shined through and made the experience what it was. We really wouldn't have had such a great time without Patrick! Long hours working and driving, he always made sure we were cared for and had nothing to worry or think about.
Thank you, Peafowl! I'll definitely be back.
