Flawless Service
I booked my balloon safari through the Holiday Dealers and chanced to enquire whether they had land transport to and from the Mara as well. Glad I did because the gentleman who took us there and back (Patrick) was such a skilled operator.
I dealt with Rahab who was both accomodating and responsive and provided me with exactly what I was looking for at a reasonable rate.
Communication, service, professionalism and value all on point with The Holiday Dealers.
Thank you for making our holiday such a seamless one.

Very quick response to ALL our many questions.
I can not give Ranger Buck Safaris enough credit for their help in making our trip so amazing.
7 of us travelled to South Africa - they found the impossible - 10 seater van out of East London - spotless, brand new - no one else could find one for us....they did.
We stayed at Mala Mala - Rattrays - Archie Rutherford and Lindsay Doubtfire were so patient with finding us the perfect place for our budget - they never got irritated - as did the previous agent - they were patient and we had a lot of requests.
We will definitely be using them again and I'm already referring other family and friends - they are honest and trustworthy and made our trip seamless!

Great trip!
Go Kenya Tours quickly booked our family trip during holiday season. The safari to Amboseli exceeded our expectations. The hotel accommodations were great and the transfers worked well.

King Solomon has great wisdom about wildlife and is a genuine pesron
King Solomon guided us through a menagerie of wildlife experience in through Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara. It was a wonder to get up close to a multitude of wildlife. Experience of a life time.
King Solomon was well connected wherever we went with the National park staff and accomodation personnel. He was advised us on the standard of accomodation and how to negotiate improvements. Took us on additional cultural experiences such as visiting a Masai village and a local village market to find banana beer

Everything went well.
Taken from the hotel in Sandton (Johannesburg) and brought back in the end of the day. Bus driver drive carefully. The safari was very interesting. We faced a lot of animals and our driver also was very motivated to find more animals for us. The trip was very nice! Thanks for the organizers!

Ranger Buck Safaris was always responsive, alert, knowledgeable, timely, and courteous.
Can't praise Ranger Buck Safaris enough. Our trip to Africa was probably not the normal trip most groups book.. The back story: My youngest daughter was getting married to a young man whose family was originally from South Africa. Instead of a big wedding they wanted our two families to take a trip together to South Africa. Because of the grooms families familiarity with South Africa we did not need or want a packaged trip. We wanted to be in control of what we did and where we went. We just needed Ranger Buck Safaris to make some reservations, arrange some hotel bookings, arrange some intra African airfare, and book our Safari for us. There were other aspects of our two week trip we wanted to handle ourselves. Ranger Buck Safaris was able to arrange everything we asked---all we had to do was supply the dates. They were responsive to our requests and we never had to wait long for an answer even though we were communicating from the USA and dealing with a seven hour time difference. They even went above and beyond and were able to find us a brand new ten passenger van so we could all travel together. Working with them was great. I will definitely use them again for our next African adventure.

Excellent company, highly recommended.
It was a good start for my Africa journey by decent communication with Albert; he answered all my questions in timely manner and also made some corrections in the schedule and accommodation to satisfy my requests. I'm an amateur photographer traveling mostly alone and I have my own set of expectations and requests which often conflicts with other non-photographer travel companions plans. To my huge surprise I found myself being the only passenger in the car! Needles to say I was a happy camper. On top of that my guide Zak proved himself one fantastic driver and extremely knowledgeable person in every aspect of wildlife and safari gaming. He knows each and every corner of all Kenia's national parks. Thanks to Zak we managed to locate and get very close to all big 5 and much more. He is also very kind and friendly person!
Thank you Albert and Zak for fantastic safari experience, exciting holydays indeed!

Nice for a Day expérience
It was a nice Day trip, but don't expect something wonderful for lunch. It IS fastfood. Guides are nice but thé stop at thé shop IS deceiving because it looks liké a superstore full of chinese stuff. Not much of it IS local. Too Bad...

Unforgettable 8-day tour from Nairobi to Watamu with Daniel
We booked a 7 day private tour from Nairobi to Mombasa and added an extra day to visit Tsavo West en route, thus making it an 8 day tour of Masai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha, Amboseli, Tsavo West and Tsavo East. Purity was great in organizing everything from day 1. We opted for a 4x4 jeep and budget accommodation, which was more than adequate, especially tented camps in Masai Mara and Amboseli and the lodges in Tsavo West and Tsavo East which simply took our breath away.
Special thanks goes to our driver guide Daniel, who made our journey really unforgettable. Punctual from day one, his timing for departure and arrival times across different destinations was impeccable, he was fearless on the road and we were really impressed how he made sure our 4x4 was in good condition every day, by checking tire pressure and drivetrain after every park - making sure the vehicle was clean and in good condition throughout our cross-country trip. He is someone you can trust to keep you safe even when the aggressive elephants of Tsavo come too close, showing his qualities as an experienced guide. His knowledge of animal species and their behavioral patterns was really impressive and he really put in an effort to make sure we see the Big 5 and much much more. We would definitely do it again, next time maybe visiting less parks and staying longer in each. Until next time, Bienvenido and Daniel!
