Magical Safari Experience and Day Hike to Kilimanjaro!
Kilimanjaro Adventure Safari is hands down the best tour company to go with for your Tanzanian adventure. From the start, they (Prince) put together a tailor made schedule for our safari as per our requirements (which very few safari companies were willing to do). They were extremely professional and super responsive throughout the process.
We did an 8 day safari with primary focus on the great migration and an emphasis on the Big 5. It was surreal to see the migration at various points in the Mara river and also see some of the cats (lions, leopards, cheetahs) at such close proximity.
Our guide Gasper was the absolute best, he was extremely professional, knowledgeable, smart and witty about the facts that he stated throughout our tour. He was also considerate enough to listen to our needs and requirements and cater the safari tour accordingly. We learned a lot of interesting facts through the safari which made the overall experience engaging and lively.
The places we stayed in were comfortable and had good vegetarian food options.
Places: Kati Kati Northern Serengeti Camp, Embelakai Central Serengeti, Mount Meru Hotel Arusha and Farm of Dream Lodge
We did a day hike of the Kilimanjaro mountain along with our guide Julius. It was a 16 km hike (round trip) along the rain forest to the first checkout point (Mandara hut). Julius was knowledgeable about the various routes to hike in the mountain and gave us some good insights about the summit hike. He helped us pace the hike perfectly so we didn't feel any fatigue at the end of the hike. We are definitely considering doing the summit hike in the near future as the day hike does not give you any good views of the mountain.
Overall it was a surreal experience for us and would definitely recommend Kilimanjaro Adventure Safari Club (and Gasper, Julius, Alexis) for anyone who is looking to this.

Exceptional Safari Experience with Knowledgeable Guides!
Me and my wife recently had the pleasure of embarking on a safari adventure with RajaTours and I must say, it was an absolutely unforgettable experience! From start to finish, our journey was very well organised and despite the fact that one of our safari vehicles broke down in Kenya, and unfortunately the mechanics were not able to fix it at that time, but they got us a spare car and we were able to continue our journey. These things can happen to anyone and in the end we were happy how it was handled.
Throughout the entire safari, we were accompanied by two outstanding guides who not only met but exceeded our expectations in every way. We would like to say a massive thank you to Sammy (our guide in Kenya) and Ally (in Tanzania). Both of our guides shared their knowledge of the local wildlife and answered all of our questions.
What stood out the most was their ability to spot and identify all animals and birds in the wild. Their keen eyesight and expert tracking skills ensured that we didn't miss a thing and always had the best view possible.
In conclusion, we really really recommend RajaTours and their guides. Our safari adventure was enriched by their knowledge, passion, and dedication to providing an exceptional experience. If you're looking for a safari tour operator that goes above and beyond to ensure an unforgettable and informative journey through the wild, look no further. RajaTours is the way to go! Thank you for the memories of a lifetime.

Amazing, must do trip!
A true test of self determination with amazing support from the guides, cooks and porters, I couldn’t have done it without them! The team I had were incredibly selfless and just wanted to help you succeed and enjoy yourself the whole time! They held great knowledge of the mountain and local region and their English was incredibly good! I would strongly recommend Almightily Kilimanjaro, especially Joseph (main guide) and his amazing team to anyone willing to have a crack at Mt Kilimanjaro!

Immanuel gave us champagne service.
The safari with Lion King was the best trip we had ever taken. The accommodations were luxurious even the tents. And we were fortunate to see all the animals, close enough to get fantastic pictures. They were like they were from National Geographic. And we just used our phone for pictures. A professional camera was not necessary. Our guide Immanuel was kind and made best efforts to attend to our every need. He served us hot food for our picnic lunch with table cloth, silverware and personalized label wine. All the food was excellent. The trip did not disappoint and was better than we could have hoped or imagined. We definitely got champagne service from Immanuel. He made a lot of effort to see all the animals that we wanted to see. We were fortunate to see a huge wildebeest crossing as well. He communicated with us well and explained about the animals and was patient with all of our questions. He made every effort to ensure we were comfortable and enjoying our trip.

Excellent service and professional guiding
We had an excellent travel time with Justus and his team. Our guide Josephat showed us through the amazing animals in MASAI MARA and arranged for us almost every details of the trip. Huge thanks to the staff behind and our travel consultant Alex that arranged our pick up and sim-card upon arrival. They took their personal time to retrieve our luggage after our luggage went missing.
Highly recommend their tours and we look forward to our next trip with them to South Africa.

Attentive, great communication, and excellent value.
Silver Spark did a great job of managing the details of our safari. Abongo responded quickly to all my emails and ensured that we had an amazing experience. Our guides, game drives, and lodging came together for a wonderful safari at an excellent value. I certainly recommend them.

Everything you dreamed of seeing was right there.
From our first encounter to our last we were blown away. We had a fabulous tour driver called Peter, from Amazing Memories Safaris. We drove through the madness of Nairobi and headed off to our first destination - Samburu Game Reserve. From the moment we entered, we knew we were in Africa - Giraffes greeted us at the gate and we saw multiple animals on our way to our Samburu camp. This was the real deal! We saw elephants, zebras and various antelope, The next day we added lions, cheetahs and a leopard to our growing list - and so our safari unfolded. Highlights for me were seeing the mass migration of wilderbeest crossing the Mara river with all its dangers plus many gorgeous babies including giraffes, Thompson gazelles, elephants, lion cubs and the most gorgeous playful white rhino you ever wished to see. Each place we went to including, Ol Pejeta Conservancy, Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara had their own uniqueness and we enjoyed learning about this from our guide and also from the locals we met along the way.
We had nice weather at all stops in early September, with a few afternoon thunderstorms which were welcome and spectacular. We could see changes in the grass growth whilst there that would make life so much better for the people tending their flocks and the animals ranging free.
The accommodation throughout our safari was wonderful - highlights being the food and the comfort of our tents. We loved to swim in the middle of the day and have a rest before our evening safari and we were able to do this at every camp . The little 'spoiling' touches like a turn-down service and a hot water bottle on chilly nights made us feel special. The staff were pretty friendly and responsive and enjoyed some banter and jokes which made getting to know them easy.
Our trip to Kenya was fabulous and I thoroughly recommend making a Safaria trip there. We found it safe and the people were very welcoming.

incredible atmosphere, environment and people
Amazing 7 day safari taking in Massai Mara, Nakura, Naivasha and Amboseli organised by Blue Mountain safaris. We saw everything we hoped for and the variety of landscapes and environment were far better than expected. Best of all was the friendliness of the people, just lovely.
The safari went very smooth and have to say special thanks to Ann at Blue Mountain who made lots of last minute changes for us without fuss, they are highly recommended.
