Perfect organization
We were picked up early in the morning with a very nice clean car and brought to the airport. The driver organized all check in. When we arrived at the air strip our guide and driver Eric picked us up and we started directly our first game drive. It was amazing what we saw. Giraffes warthog buffaloes lions elephants impala and lots of birds. Eric drove careful and gave us time to observe the beautiful landscape and animals. He was very knowledgeable and explained everything in an interesting way. We did a change of the program for the second and third day which was no problem at all. Just a short Whatsup to Ibrahim from luitours and everything was perfectly organized again.
The lodge we stayed was good and clean, the team there very friendly and welcoming. The only point of improvement would be the breakfast which was very simple. Lunch and dinner were very tasty and catered for everyone. When we returned the driver was waiting for us already and we were brought back with no problems even it was the first day of Ramadan. Thank you for an amazing experience.

Awesome trip. Well managed and Johny was first class tour guide
If you want to appreciate the Mara and the wildlife then you must have Johny as your tour guide. He was phenomenal. We saw the big 5, a pride of lions with cubs, a leopard eating, cheetahs and loads more include the dicdic. Johny educated us on the wildlife and the Mara. We have loads of fun. What a fantastic trip. Jocky Tours were great to book through. Very easy and responsive.

Perfect organized 8 day trip in Uganda
I did book an 8-day-Safari Tour with Frena Adventures. I did it end march when rainy season started and when there were not so many tourists. I started with Rhino Sanctuary, saw Murchison Falls and Queen Elisabeth National Park. The programm was including game drives and boat cruises as well as chimp and gorilla trackings. All of it was worth money doing it. From the beginning and during the planning everything was very good organized. Fred did answer to my questions very quickly and adjusted the program to my wishes. I did book the budget variant and was very happy with the lodges which have been chosen. I did sleep well everywhere and the food was good, too. As I was traveling alone it was important for me to have a nice and friendly guide. And so was Ronnie. He was driving very good and carefully, I always felt safe. He could also adjust the timing of the program on the way so that it was comfortable. And he was always answering all my thousands of questions about the animals but also about life in Uganda very patiently all the time during the eight days he was my driver and guide. He showed me the beauty if his country and its friendly people. I felt very welcome wherever I was. I am very happy to have made this journey and can absolutely recommend it!

they respond fast and all they tell is true
i could not tell what can be done better. if u choose transpo by road then you just sit a long time in traffic, nothing special there, if you can perhaps fly-in is better usage of time, anyhow i was aware that is long trip and i choosed it by car as i went there from red-eye i.e night plane and used this drive to relax and get used to new country, i had most basic accomodation, enjoyed it very much, left tent windows open for a night, even coldish shower dont bother me ... it anyway close to 20c. game watches were all very good, saw all expect leopard and rhino in Maasai Mara, other animals plenty, very closely, long time with them.

Great
Our experience was great, we we're a group of 12 students and got a great price for one weekend. Saturday early we went to Masai Mara, saw everything except for rhinos sadly enough. But lions, a cheeta, a leopard and so many herbivores up close. Our drivers/guides were also very nice, helpful and fun. Shoutout to Gerald and Anthony! Thanks for the great experience.
The place we stayed at within the park was also better than expected, it were like half a house filled up with a tent, with very comfy beds, a toilet and a shower. Not that it was luxurious but certainly good enough, to be comfortable.
Also the guard were people from the Masai tribe and we had a nice talk with them about their life and culture!

Patrick was a good and safe driver. He always brought us into the best position to see the animals.
The communication with Franco and Patrick was very good. We really enjoyed our safari. Thank you Asante to both for this amazing time.
Before our safari Franco came to our hotel to talk about the details of our tour. The communication was really easy. We were able to contact him on whats app.
While we were on the safari with our good driver Patrick, Franco called us to ask if anythings works as we like.
Patrick was able to answer a lot of questions about the animals.

Our expectations were exceeded by far. Patrick and Franco did everything to make this safari special
The communication worked out really good. We were communicating with Franco before, during and after the safari to make sure everything was as we wished.
Our driver Patrick showed us everything he could and if there were other cars we were always in the best position to see everything close up.
Overall it was a great Safari and if we visit Kenya again we will contact Franco for another Safari.

The Trip of a Lifetime with Safari GOATS!
I can't recommend Safari Goats enough! If you're looking for a more personal, authentic, and real safari experience, you're in the right place. Safari Goats team goes above & beyond the average safari tour operators. Although I booked a safari most excited for the game viewing, it was actually the Safari Goats family that made the biggest impact.

Fantastic 5-day Mt.Kenya Trek thanks to Grayton Expeditions!
Just got down from a 5 day trek to Mt.Kenya’s third highest peak - Lenana Peak. I did the Sirimon Route up to the peak and down via the Chogoria Route. Grayton Expeditions was excellent in setting this up for me at the last minute and taking care of all the arrangements, including transportation to/from Nairobi, and rental gear. The office communicated quickly and answered all my questions. My guide (Sam), porter (Kevin), and cook (Marron) were incredible and made the entire trek personalized and enjoyable. I’ve climbed many of the mountains in East Africa but this trek far exceeded my expectations! The scenery was breathtaking, the hikes were not too challenging (including the summit night) and the huts on the mountain were in good shape. I’m extremely happy with the route I chose as you get to see two very different sides of the mountain. For fit hikers I would also recommend trying the reverse (beginning on the Chogoria route and finishing on Sirimon). I did the hike at the end of March which is the beginning of the rainy season (and therefore low season). I saw almost no other hikers and it actually only rained at night, so I recommend mid to late March. Overall great experience, would recommend this operator to anyone!
