Hugely Recommended - Best Trip EVER!
I recently came back from an 8-days safari tour of Kenya with Tazama, and it was the best experience in my life!
It was my first time as a solo travelled and decided to book this tour 3 weeks in advance - Antony, the owner, has been very responsive and available to answer all my questions from the very beginning. Organisation was excellent, and he also picked me up at the airport which I really appreciated.
Doing this safari was genuinely the best decision I ever made - the amount of nature and wildlife I saw was way beyond expectations. We spent two days in Samburu, one day at Ol Pejeta Reserve, one day at Lake Nakuru and four days in Maasai Mara: all beautiful places, and we managed to see all the possible animals several times.
Andrew, the guide who stayed with me for the whole tour, is the very best - he's very friendly, knowledgeable and experienced. You could see that he knows all these areas very well, and allowed me to watch the most incredible animals in very rare situations: a leopard sleeping on a tree and then coming down (he spotted it from 200mt distance!!!), 15+ lion cubs at sunrise and sunset (so beautiful it makes you cry), male lions looking to fight for territory, we followed a cheetah and saw her going after a gazelle (breathtaking!)...and much more! Also lots of elephants, rhinos, gazelles, giraffes, buffalos, hypos, crocodiles, birds etc... we also managed to see a serval, very elusive animal!
The hotels were also great, but you won't spend much time there as you'll usually leave early in the morning and come back for dinner, and then go straight to bed.
I came back with unforgettable memories, and I hugely recommend Tazama for the great job they've done! They're the best!
Thank you very much again for making my dream come true, I really wish you all the best!

Geoffrey Giraffe is the BEST!
A group of 6 of us went to Masai Mara in Kenya as well as Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, & Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. Haron worked with us to coordinate the entire trip (including PCR testing) & was always quick to respond to our questions. Everything went smoothly as far as getting picked up on time & border crossings. I was especially surprised & pleased with the level of food & accommodations for our mid-range safari. I think we got a great value for our money. In Tanzania, our guide was Geoffrey who we began calling Geoffrey Giraffe (ever shop at Toys R Us?). Geoffrey is not only a great guide but also a great guy! He is a jovial character who made sure we saw as much as possible during our time with him. I highly recommend African Sunset Safaris!

Professional and personal
After completing the 6-day safari with lion king adventures we lay 6 of the longest days of our lives behind us, but also six of our absolute best.
It is such an experience and you travel through so many different contexts/landscapes that takes your breath away. The accomodations were far beyond our expectations and we saw more animals than we ever could have imagined.
The guide Immanuel, he is the man! It felt more that you've had a friend (a very knowledgeable one) with you for the journey than a guide. We have talked about everything between heaven and earth and had a lovely time together. If you get the chance, chose him.
The other people at Lion King adventures has been super friendly and easy going, want to give a special shout-out to Anna and Nickson for helping us from the very begining, setting everything up and answering all our questions.
So what more can I say,
Don't miss this opportunity!
And to lion king adventures we say:
Tuonane tena hivi karibuni!
(See you soon again!)

Amazing safari!
I took a safari with Baboonbudget and had Boniface as my tour guide for five days. He tought me so much about his country and nature - I really enjoyed it. Very uncomplicated and honest. Can only recommend it if you are looking for a budget safari in Kenya!

Blessed that day we chose Unscripted Safari. Professional and knowledgeable guides, best travel ever
We are here to tell one of those experiences for which it makes sense to live and which drastically changes the meaning of our life.
Shortly after the end of spring 2021, in the midst of the global pandemic, my wife and I started thinking about how to get out of this dark moment of our existence. Living in Poland, we realized how one of the few things that was able to give us happiness and well-being and to allow us to leave all current problems behind us, was to go on weekends for walks in the woods to immerse ourselves in nature in search of carefree and looking for the miracles of nature. My wife, seeing my deep interest in animal species, began to bombard me heavily with a single theme: a journey in the midst of nature, in the midst of those animal species that we are not lucky enough to fart every day: a trip to Kenya .
As always, she began to go alone to various travel agencies, where interesting but not captivating packages were offered to her, as they were focused on a reduced number of safari days and on a consistent number of days to spend in boring (but however popular and delightful) resorts on the coast. Once captured by the idea of embarking on this trip, and disappointed by the travel offers received from the agencies, we started looking for a viable alternative to this type of planned travel from abroad, and we came across a site of local Kenyan agencies.
From that moment, making a brief investigation into agencies capable of organizing a ten-day safari, we came in contact with Lewis, a wonderful person who caught my attention with a phrase: 'I am here to take care of you once you're deciding to travel to Kenya '.
We started talking by phone with Lewis, I must say initially with some caution, to better understand if he was really representing a reliable agency. We started talking about our expectations, our intentions and we started talking about a possible itinerary of interest. We talked about it by phone several times over the following months, to the point of upsetting one of the most popular basic itineraries of his company to adapt it to our needs.
Lewis turned out to be an extremely patient and delightful person, able to answer a series of sometimes trivial questions focused on issues unknown to all who are about to travel for the first time in their life to a continent of which we know relatively little. . He clarified our doubts and erased fears, planning everything in an excellent and impeccable way, even making us the courtesy to take care of some small details.
Many thanks Lewis!
We left on December 18, 2021 with my wife and a couple of other friends, in the midst of general uncertainty due to the pandemic, with the only hope of finding someone waiting for us at the airport on the other side of the globe. Almost a month later, we can firmly say that we have probably had the best travel experience of our life. Before reaching the coast at our expense for a few extra days of relaxation in Galu Beach, we spent 10 fantastic days immersed in nature, starting from Nairobi and touching one after another of the paradises of nature: the majestic Masai Mara National Park, the fascinating Lake Naivasha, the surprising Nakuru with its Hell's Gate National Park, the silent Samburu National Park with his Buffalo's Springs next to it, the magic Aberdare National Park and the astonishing Amboseli National Park with the imposing and mysterious Kilimanjaro mountain in the background.
I cannot put into words our gratitude to these fantastic people who work for this small-medium business and who have given us unforgettable moments, capable of marking our existence. We spent ten amazing days with Alex, our highly trained guide before being a driver. Alex was a travel companion who put all his experience at our disposal and spread his arm on our shoulders, as if to want to protect us from every surrounding situation. We lived ten days in a lovely symbiosis, to the point that we would have loved to share our room with him in order to spend as much time as possible talking and laughing with him. He taught us and explained more things than we could have dreamed of, both from the point of view of Kenyan culture and animal life in the parks. Even today I can't avoid contacting him via Whatsapp to joke on the phone and remember with extreme warmth the very pleasant moments spent together. Thanks Alex!
I wouldn't think twice. If we were to be lucky enough to repeat a trip to Kenya in the future it would be only with Unscripted Safaris.
You will ask yourself the reason for this statement.....
Beyond all that we were able to see with Alex in the 6 different parks thanks to his knowledge of the parks and the deep knowledge of animal habits (we were very lucky to see all the Big Five, all the Ugly Five and all the Small Five and many other rare stuff like the Savana cat or Genet cats), what you can glimpse of the parks strictly depends on the weather and environmental conditions, and even more on a significant coefficient of luck and coincidences). However, our relationship with Alex and with our representative Lewis was something indescribable, which goes beyond a contract and which resulted in a relationship of sincere friendship and mutual respect.
Blessed be the day we decided to choose Unscripted Safaris. I wish health and every success to these amazing people, so full of education and passionate about their profession. We are indefinitely grateful to you.
We highly recommend Unscripted Safaris (aka Unscripted Expeditions) to you all, you can't get any better.

Don’t worry, Rocky is here
Our 5-day safari tour with Suricata was an amazing experience. Everything was properly arranged. Our driver Rocky was very enthusiastic and explained a lot about the places and animals. He made sure everyone was okay and loved to surprise us. The food prepared by Tito was great. We visited 3 national parks (Tarangire, Serengeti and Lake Manyara) and 1 conservation area (Ngorogoro) which were all very different and beautiful.

Magical Trip
We had a general idea of what we wanted. Wayfairer took that vision and made it better than I could have asked for.
The communication was so easy. I had a few changes and they were so easy to implement. It’s hard with COVID and the unknowns but they made it so easy.
Every guide, hotel, driver we had was amazing. Probably the best service I have ever had on any trip.

Reactivity, seriousness, professionalism, listening - Very satisfied
We are very happy to have realized our safari this Suricata Safari!
Our guide Ezequiel and our cook Tito were perfect from start to finish.
Before the safari, communication is very easy and fast via WhatsApp thanks to Hilary!
We did the 4 days 3 nights formula in shared formula (we are a couple and we were with 4 other people, a great experience)
We saw the big five, and the game drive strategy is very good to be able to see as many animals as possible!
We stayed in a tent, the price is very attractive and the experience quite good, it makes for good memories.
Everything is taken care of from start to finish, from your arrival at the airport to your departure.
The cooking during the safari is carried out by a chef, these are not boxes prepared in advance, a treat.
They are there to answer all your problems. Don't worry about anything and enjoy

Mike and the team made our tour run extremely well, communication was great and no troubles at all.
A trip of a lifetime for our two families of 5. The advice and bookings Mike and the team gave us was fantastic and everything went very smoothly from the hotel in Victoria Falls, flights to Lusaka, and to and from the Potato Bush Camp on the Lower Zambezi (amazing!) and the South Luangwa National Park. The safari experiences we had were second to none which we will treasure for a lifetime. We will be definitely using Mike’s services again when we get the chance to travel to Africa again.
