Unforgettable 3-Day Safari in Serengeti and Ngorongoro with Mecky
4/5

Our 3-day safari experience in Serengeti and Ngorongoro was nothing short of magical. The landscapes were breathtaking, the wildlife encounters surreal, and our accommodations exceeded expectations with their comfort, stunning views, and warm hospitality.

While we did face some initial misunderstandings with the safari company regarding logistics, our guide, Mecky, truly turned things around. From the moment we met him, his humor, kindness, and deep knowledge about the animals and the ecosystem put us at ease. Mecky not only ensured we had an incredible wildlife experience but also made every moment enjoyable with his stories and positive energy.

The Serengeti delivered iconic scenes of lions lounging in the sun, elephants strolling majestically, and endless herds of wildebeest crossing the plains. Ngorongoro Crater, on the other hand, felt like stepping into a lost world – an awe-inspiring concentration of animals surrounded by dramatic crater walls.

Despite the initial hiccup, this safari became an unforgettable adventure, largely thanks to Mecky’s dedication and charisma. We wholeheartedly recommend this experience – just make sure you have someone like Mecky by your side!

Amazing
4/5

Amazing experience. Our driver, Alfonso, did his best in order to please everyone and see as many animals as possible. Eric, our guide explained everything and answered all of our questions as far as wildlife is concerned. Accommodation was good as well.

All in all amazing experience. Seeing wild animals in their natural environment was great. Our driver, Alfonso, did his best to find as many animals as possible and satisfied our needs. In addition, Eric, our guide was very well informed and answered all of our questions about wildlife.

Answer the game driver ranger at the lodge was amazing
4/5

Ruben my contact, who helped organize the trip, was very accommodating, had a lot of patience and was good at following up. The Ivory Tree Lodge accommodations was nice and the staff was friendly. The transfer shuttle on the way back to the airport was good but the one on the way to the lodge we arrived too early. It left at 530 am, we arrived 5 hours before check in and we had to sit around. The highlight of the trip was the game drives with the Ranger named Answer.

Well organised and good communication
4/5

Our safari with Nkollo tours was really good. We were picked up on time and followed the itinerary we were given. Simon our guide did well to help us spot lots of animals and the food was really good the whole time. We were joined by other people on our tour which we didn’t know about but there was space in the car so that was fine. The campsites were also a little cold with thin sleeping bags. Apart from that, the 4 day safari was really good and Allan was also available to communicate with and checked in with us during the safari.

Organized a well planned, smooth trip
4/5

3 night trip including Masai Mara and Nakuru. Start and return point Nairobi.

Communication: quick responses by whatsup and email before safari. During the trip updates/reminders on travel itinerary could have been a bit more thorough.
Service: well planned breaks, devoted driver/guide on game drives - effort to spot several animal species, no issues with anything, social, friendly and easy-going guide happy to answer to any questions. Experience of the guide/driver was noticeable.
Value for money: hard to compare but having a feeling that expectations were met.
Relialibity: no delays or other issues, felt safe and taken care of. Traffic safety (on transits) might have had higher expectations - local traffic and roads, seat belt quality and phone calls during drive rose some concerns.
Tour itself : many animals (including big 5) spotted providing many memorable moments. Had time to observe animals from close, mostly with a feeling that their space was respected. In total, the tour, including game drive, accommodation, food and transit, worked out very well.
However, be prepared that quite some time is spent on transit from Nairobi to the destination (and back) and the roads are partially in poor condition.

Our journey through Tanzania was nothing short of amazing from the breathtaking safari in the Sereng
4/5

Our journey through Tanzania was nothing short of amazing from the breathtaking safari in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater to the serene beauty by Lake Manyara. The people we encountered were welcoming and gracious, rightfully proud of their incredible country.

We also explored the wonders of Zanzibar and Lake Eyasi in the Serengeti region, and both experiences left us captivated. Without a doubt, we will return to discover even more of this remarkable destination!

Nice safari in Amboselli and Tsavo East and West with ETA Adventure
4/5

ETA Adventure arranged the group tour for me in Amboselli and pirate tour for me in Tsavo East and West. The staff were always reachable and responsive and were happy to make last minute changes when required.
The accommodations and the food served there were good and the company staff and guides and drivers were helpful. There was an issue with late arrival of the tour car in Nairobi (partially due to traffic), however, the company took corrective steps to avoid any further delays for the rest of the trip.
The whole trip was good value for money.

Two wildlife trips in Northern Madagascar
4/5

We arrived first for a day in Noisy Be and we're met at the dock straight off our cruise ship. The car was modern and in good condition and our driver was careful. Our guide Christian spoke good English and both Christian and our driver Jake new the wildlife and what we wanted to see. Arriving at our destination we walked through mangrove and across beach to Lokobe Reserve. All the way wildlife was picked out for us by our guides. We saw rare and endemic birds, Lemurs and several species of Chameleon and other reptiles. Great trip and delivered back to the port in time. Thanks.
The next trip was from Antiserenana to Amber Mountains NP. This matched up to the previous trip and this firm would be recomended.
