Review about Lake Nakuru National Park by Timo
Lots of birds and we spotted many rhinos. For some reason (dry season?) there were hardly any animals seen anywhere but right near the lake.

Review about Masai Mara National Reserve by Timo
In February, the Masai Mara was a bit green, but the large herds were gone. But same thing with the hordes of tourists which was nice. As the grass was lower, the animals were easier to spot. The scenery on the savannah was wonderful.

The best Safari we have been on
The tour was fantastic and adventurous .
Raymond was an excellent guide friendly kind and gave us value for money. Our experience with him was thrilling at all times and something unique at every turn.
We highly recommend this company as the staff were courteous and friendly. At the camp William was very professional and friendly. The provisions were safe and food was good. We were lucky to see the 5 Big on day one itself. Great job hats off to your team. Will surely visit again some time, as once is not enough

The Masai Mara was beautiful and exploring it with Moses and our tour group was interesting and fun
Good value for money tour in a rustic campsite for an authentic Kenyan experience. Our tour guide made the experience exciting and informative and we had a really good time.

Very efficient and knowledgeable
Africa marvel made it easy for me and my husband to organise our tour within 2 days. They responded to us quickly and answered all questions. I loved the accommodation they booked for us and services they provided.

4 day Kruger safari
The 4 day tour was truly an unforgettable experience.
The crew is competent and full of passion and fun.
The relaxed and humorous way made it all more familiar. We really felt welcome. During the safaris, the rangers also gave us the time to observe the animals in peace and take unique pictures. It did not seem hectic at any time. The only criticism I would like to note here, and that is complaining at a high level, that lunch during the stay in the Kruger was a little too long in coming. We only got our food when our break was actually already over.
Thus, we missed 45 minutes of our safari tour.
But all in all I can recommend this tour to everyone.

It was so perfect, I don’t know where to start
Actually I do know where to start. Our guide was exceptional. Carlos made the trip for us. He is an excellent spotter, and on very good terms with so many of the other guides that they filled in anything that he didn’t spot himself. And the driving skills of that man! Many Kenyan by roads are Not Good, and he expertly got us around safely and speedily. He was very modest, but what made Carlos stand out was his care for his guests. As we travelled from reserve to reserve, he generously told us about the social and geopolitical situation in Kenya, as well as his life and family. It was fascinating and we loved it. I feel a real connection to Kenya now as a result - so much more so than other countries we visited on this trip. Carlos made sure we were very well cared for, no safari session was too long for comfort, and we had fresh water and comfort breaks whenever we needed them. If you go on safari, demand Carlos! The accommodation and food was excellent - and very generous. We saw all of the big 5 animals in about 3 days - even the elusive Rhino. But we were also treated to expert information on all the little animals and birds we saw as well. We love birds, and were very fond if the littler animals too, so that was very welcome - and we didn’t get the same quality of information on other legs. I was a little disappointed initially to see we were in a van rather than a Defender but my goodness that thing was INDESTRUCTIBLE! And it was great to see the animals from. We WILL be coming back to see other parts of Kenya - we had such a wonderful, magical time.

Professional, organised and very knowledgeable about the parks.
Really enjoyed our safari with Shanga. The communication with the office was always very prompt and informative, they were happy to answer any questions. Also were willing to be flexible with us after we booked when we thought we might have to change our dates, as well as when our flight to Dar Es Salaam was delayed which might have affected the pickup time. Very much appreciated this flexibility. Our driver Salum was also amazing. Just a really nice guy who was also incredibly knowledgeable about the parks. The ability to navigate these open landscapes was seriously impressive, and he managed to find almost all the main animals in each park. Definitely recommend this company and their 5 day tour.

Dan is reliable, punctual, fun, and has a great sense of humour - a great all around guide!
I have visited Uganda two times, and both times Dan has provided high level of support with transportation from Entebbe to Uganda’s Eastern Region. Dan has always been very communicative and responsive to questions and requests in advance of my trips, and has also been exceptionally punctual and reliable during the trips. Overall, Dan has gone out of his way to make the transportation convenient and smooth.
Dan is also very enjoyable to be around. He has a great sense of humour and is always more than happy to answer my seemingly endless questions about Uganda. I would highly recommend Dan to anyone who is looking to visit Uganda for work or pleasure.
