Fantastic tour & great team
We had a 5 day trip to the Mt Kenya with CKC Safaris.
We loved everything about it, the team was great, from Michael the guide to the cook and all porters!
Michael gave great advice, nice explanations about the nature reserve and made sure we safely made it to the top of Mt Kenya.
The food was way better than expected on a mountain hiking tour!
All porters were super nice and really made sure we had the best time.
Would recommend them to everybody and we will definitely be contacting them again for a Kilimanjaro climb !

4 day/3 night budget safari Masai Mara and Nakuru
The most fantastic experience so many animals and amazing scenery. Our guide James was the perfect guide, helpful, full of knowledge, and very good driver. He knew his way around the park and eventhough he made us come really close to the animals he was respecting and thoughtful of the animals. With his guidance we got to see the Big Five. The accomodation was clean and comfortable with ensuite bathroom and the food tasteful. And don't miss a visit to the Massai village. All and all a fantastic trip that exceeded all our expectations.

Africa Changed Our Lives
We booked our Travel through Ker & Downey and they handled everything perfectly. We had never been on a Safari and we left our itinerary up to Ker & Downey. Sarah was our primary contact and she booked us at 3 different safari lodges to give us a sample of 3 different game reserves. Then we spent 4 days in Cape Town which was also magnificent. Rather than write all the details of the trip I will just leave you with two major thoughts that will hopefully address any concerns you might have about traveling to South Africa.
1. Don't hesitate to use Ker & Downey. Their service was absolutely perfect and we had no delays. They had someone meet us at the end of each flight and we had the best tour guide that one could have for Cape Town. We had a party of 5 people and everything went like clock work!
2. If you have ever considered a Safari but for what ever reason have not taken the step, DO IT!!! It truly changed our perceptions of South Africa and wildlife. The people were incredible and we had the opportunity to get up close to some amazing animals. Every scene had a story for example; watching a leopard guard it's kill while also guarding it's cub as a hyena circled the tree. Lions on a hunt for Impala. They were so close we could touch them. Elephants drinking out of our pool at one lodge. They were so close you could have touched them. On and On!! Just GO and let Ker Downey take care of the details. As they say, You Only Live Once so do a trip of a lifetime. We are already working on our next trip to beautiful Africa!!

Africa safari at it's best
Our driver David was excellent. He was a pro at navigating the very rough roads. Found and quickly pointed out the animals. On the great migration he was extremely fast at getting us the the perfect viewing point. Always courteous,, receptive to what we wanted to do, and always happy.. It was a joy being with him this last week.. we were so lucky to have him as our guide!!! Thank you.

Wonderful experience and amazing people!
Our experience with Misuku Expeditions has been amazing! It was the first time in Africa for me and my friend and we couldn’t ask for a better tour company. Johnnie and James were always very thoughtful and patient, making sure we had the best experience possible. The communication was perfect and included all the details of our trips, which were always very well organised and tailored to our interests. We went to the Liwonde National Park, Majete Game Reserve and Sengabay, making various stops along the routes to explore Malawi more. The music in the car was always great and we could not stop smiling or laughing during our trips. We could never get enough of all the interesting stories about animals and the local culture (including fun facts about elephants!). It truly felt like we were always friends. We highly recommend Misuku Expeditions, as you can definitely tell that these guys put their heart in what they do! Thank you so much again for making our first time in Africa such a beautiful experience! We will come back and visit you again!

Everything Dannsland provided were good.
I had a Safari and a Mt Kenya hiking organized by Dannsland, everything went well. What I like most was the quick response when they answered your questions. All my bookings were done by massaging in WhatsApp which was handy.

Expectations exceeded
Everything was great. Communication with Francisco/ lappet faced safaris was fast and uncomplicated, we got a really good prize and all went smoothly. Pick up at the airport was good, we got a very warm welcome. We were taken good care of before and during the Safari. It was very well planed and thought through but at the same time our Guide always found a way to make it the best possible experience for our group. We saw so many animals in this impressive landscape thanks to our skilled and sharpeyed guide. Also nice was that our Guide Gabriel could speak german and english, he has a good knowledge of the wildlife, nature and life in Tanzania, so we learned a lot and had really interesting conversations. And after experiencing so much during the day we could relax in the evenings and enjoy very delicious freshly cooked food, prepared by our cook.
This Safari exceeded all my expectations.
In the end I can say, it felt more like traveling with friends than just doing a safari tour and it was really sad to say good bye. It's safe to say I would love to come back!

Excellent Safari - Great Trip!!!
It was a very easy process from booking to pick up at our original hotel in Moshi, through to the final drop off in Arusha.
Zee, Eric and our guides Emanuel and James were great. The trip was well planned and they kept us well informed of how each leg of the safari was going to go.
We would definitely recommend going for a full 7 days during the great migration. You won’t get bored as you will be able to see a new area with new sights and animals almost every day. James and Emanuel were the perfect guides as far as teaching us about the plants and animals, and ensuring we got up close enough for some great pictures.
They were truly really fun guys that we enjoyed spending time with - and you do spend a lot of time with your guides (they eat most meals with you!).
Accommodations in the bush camps as well as the nicer places that we upgraded to in karatu were good too. You will always feel welcome and full of good food.
The only criticism I would have is the credit card payment process. The small fee is understandable given that your providers have to pay this normally, but the verification system they use is a bit cumbersome if you are already away from our home country.
This safari was amazing value and we got to see every animal and experience (a lion hunt, kill, and Mara river crossing) on our list.
We will 100% recommend this company to any of our friends and family looking to come to Tz.

Excellent safari
Very good safari, the cook was awesome so if you like good food on your safari take this company. I had much worse food on other safaris. The guide was very experienced and knew a lot about the animals. The people working there are very friendly and provide good service.
