Amazing, well organized,friendly, supported , five stars review. Definitely recommended it to all
The experience throughout the entire trip was absolutely amazing. I saw everything I had hoped to see, and the trip exceeded my expectations in so many ways.
One of the biggest highlights was the local people I met. Everyone was incredibly friendly and welcoming. All the staff went above and beyond to provide the best possible service, including my drivers （Joseph）and the hotel staff.
I honestly never expected to be treated so well. At one point, I even lost my phone at the camp, and they went out of their way to help me find it and managed to recover it a day later. The kindness and hospitality of the local people really made the trip special.
During my journey, I had different drivers and also met people from different countries. Sharing this experience of exploring and discovering the incredible wildlife together made the whole trip even more memorable.
I would highly recommend this company. If any of my friends are planning to visit Kenya in the future, this would definitely be the first company I recommend to them

I believe they are scammers and thieves
SCAMMERS AND THIEVES — DO NOT TRUST THIS PROVIDER
I strongly recommend staying away from this company. In my experience, they are scammers and thieves.
We paid a $1,000 deposit in May to organize a safari for August. Despite having months to arrange everything, by mid-July they had still booked absolutely nothing.
We gave them another chance after they promised to resolve the situation. By the end of July, nothing had been booked. At that point, we asked them to cancel the safari and refund our $1,000.
From then on, their behavior became even worse. They stopped answering our messages and phone calls. They promised that our refund would be paid by August 7.
Today is August 18, and we still have no refund, no answers, and no explanation. They continue to ignore our calls and messages.
This is completely unacceptable.They've taken our money and then disappear. That is exactly how we have been treated.
If you are considering using this provider, Do not give them your money. Based on our experience, we believe they are scammers and thieves, and I would not trust them with even a single dollar.
We paid $1,000 in good faith and were left with nothing but broken promises, excuses, and silence. Stay away from these scammers and thieves.

Helpful n Cooperative
Just returned from our 14 day trip to Kenya and Tanzania with Frank of Serengeti Clarity, Arusha, Tanzania.
It was our first trip to Africa and we were fortunate to see the Great Wildebeest Migration, not once but TWICE, thanks to our amazing guide Daniel. A big thumbs up for him.
Regarding accomodations, Flamingo Asili Lodge (Overlooking Lake Manyara) and Heritage Mara Camp, Kogatende (Northern Serengeti) were a total disappointment and should be avoided
Nevertheless it was an incredible, extraordinary, superb, mind blowing and awesome experience.
Thanks to Frank and the entire Serengeti Clarity Team for this outstanding and memorable trip.

Trip of a lifetime!
Had a wonderful trip with my daughter as my post retirement trip. Chris made the experience most wonderful. He was a great guide and also cooks some of the most amazing meals. Made us feel totally at home. And boy, did we see a lot of animals. More than we expected. I would gladly book with them again.

Everything was perfectly organized. Not a single problem. Super punctual and attentive. Nothing bad
We went on safari with Evans. The first visit was the Masai Mara, which was breathtaking. I was running around trying to find all the animals and see them up close. We didn't miss a single one. The accommodations were better than expected for being tented camps, especially the one in Amboseli. All the staff were very, very friendly. Perfect vacation. I recommend it without hesitation.

Alex was beyond incredible!!
Alex was our driver for our trip and he was perfect for our group! We were two families with a total of 3 teenagers and Alex was a hit with everyone. He was so knowledgeable about the area the animal where to go and answered all of our crazy questions, including personal ones. He was constantly on the phone talking with other drivers to make sure that we were able to see anything and everything possible. So kind and such a pleasure to be around. After our Safari, we went on for another week to a different destination and literally talked about Alex every single day. Would have been the same without him! Thank you Alex!!!

Exceptional Accessible Safari Operator
As an accessible travel blogger and tour organizer, finding a safari company that could genuinely accommodate a large group with varying accessibility needs was one of the biggest challenges when planning our Kenya safari. From my very first contact with Judy at Lorna Safaris, I knew we had found the right partner.
Judy was incredibly easy to communicate with throughout the entire process — from creating and adjusting our itinerary and arranging payments to answering countless questions before we ever arrived in Kenya. She was exceptionally responsive and went far beyond what I expected from a safari operator.
One of the things that impressed me most was Judy's commitment to understanding accessibility firsthand. Before our group arrived, she personally visited the safari lodges, took photos and videos for me to review and use in our trip planning, and worked with the properties to ensure accessibility was a priority. She didn't simply rely on what hotels told her was "accessible" — she went and saw it for herself.
Our group ultimately grew to 16 participants, including six wheelchair users with varying needs. Lorna Safaris provided four safari vehicles equipped with accessible lifting chairs and ramps, allowing participants with different mobility levels to safely and comfortably access the jeeps.
And when unexpected accessibility challenges arose, Judy and her team didn't simply say, "That's not possible." They found solutions. At one lodge, for example, the door frame was actually adjusted to make it easier for a wheelchair user to enter her safari tent. The team worked directly with lodge staff to address accessibility issues as they arose, including making improvements during our stay.
Judy, Jimmy, Don, Anthony and Teddy were absolutely exceptional throughout the safari. They assisted wheelchair users when needed, helped with transfers and equipment, answered endless questions and shared an incredible amount of knowledge about the wildlife we encountered.
Judy also put a great deal of thought into selecting our accommodations. The lodges and hotels were chosen because they could provide multiple accessible rooms, had helpful and welcoming staff, were exceptionally clean and offered comfortable facilities and a variety of food options.
Organizing an accessible safari for a large group is no small undertaking, but Lorna Safaris approached every challenge with patience, flexibility and genuine care. From the months of preparation before our arrival to the final days of the safari — and even the follow-up afterward — Judy and her team worked tirelessly to make this experience possible.
For anyone looking for a safari company that genuinely understands accessible travel, I would highly recommend Lorna Safaris. Accessible safari operators are difficult to find, and those that truly understand the difference between simply having an "accessible" room and actually creating an accessible travel experience are even harder to find. Lorna Safaris exceeded our expectations.
