The trip of a lifetime
Our tour of Uganda was incredible, thanks to our wonderful guide, Derrick. The booking process was easy, and the tour itself was perfect. Some busy days, some relaxing days, and the right amount of activity and excursions. It was nice to tailor make the package to suit our schedule. Derrick knew so much about the animals and about Uganda. It was clear that his goal was to make our experience the very best that it could be. Our time was incredible and we saw so many animals, including the big 5. Top notch service. All of the accommodations were lovely and clean and had delicious meals. The car was comfortable and great for the game drives. Would 100% recommend this tour company.

Excellent Safari Experience in Small Group for Masai Mara-Naivasha-Nakuru
We travelled to Kenya last week for a Safari to Masai Mara, Naivasha and Nakuru, joining a small group, in a 4×4 Toyota Land Cruiser. Our experience with Jocky has been great and beyond our expectation.
Special mention for our guide Solomon, who stayed with us for this entire tenure of 5nights, 6days. He is an excellent driver-guide, and an even better animal-spotter, who can spot animals kilometres away without any binoculars! Moreover, he is very helpful and an amazing person.
Thank you Solo and Jocky for making our trip so memorable.

Trustworthy, well organised and tailored to perfection! Highly recommended Reny Safaris
We booked a 10 day safari experience with Reny, months in advance and totally did not know what to expect. Japeth was brilliant with his communication at every single step of the process. He created a personalised itinerary for us which included Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha, Amboseli, Tsavo East and three nights at Daini beach resort. David and Elisha, our guides were knowledge, kind, funny and did not hesitate to go the extra mile to provide the most fantastic experience during our entire holiday. We choose the open top safari vans instead of the jeep and each van was very comfortable for a family of four. There was plenty of bottled water always available. The guides ensured we saw all the big fives plus many many more animals and some predators, very up and close too. Their patience and experience helped us to not only spot animals but understand their stories too. We stayed in 5 different lodges and at the beach resort in the end. Each accommodation was unique with great ambience, food and facilities. Our children 14 and 12 years enjoyed the facilities at the lodges in the evenings. Japeth took extra care to ensure we get the best rooms with sea view in the beach resort which was a great extra touch. He arranged the scenic train travel for us from Mombassa to Nairobi on the way back which was a pleasant experience. Japeth, David, Elisha and Walter were available for our airport pick up and drop off. The masaai village visit, the zebras trying to cross the Mara river, picnic in the park on day two, lake view cottage at Naivasha, sunset at Tasvo East, view of Kilimanjaro from Amboseli park, the white sands of Daini beach and the Animal Stories which I still dream about. We cannot thank Reny Safaris enough for this unforgettable experience. Thank you!

Incredible
Very impressive! The density of animals in masai Mara makes the safari amazing.
The camp is perfect, well equiped and the food is good.
The organization is reliable.
We took the 4 days safari but we would have wanted to know that there isn’t any game drive the 3rd day and that the lake nakuru is just 3 hours game drive.

Fantastic experience
Discover Africa Safaris organized a perfect taylor made experience for us. They understoos our needs well and was by far the mozt flexible, the most pro active and the fatest.
The safari was fantastic, and Cap town amazing.
Only regrets, it was not the best time of the year to go, and they could have warned us better. The flat in Cap town was noisy as too close to the road.

Amazing trip
Had an amazing trip! Kiliholidays is professional and everything was clear ahead of time. We did 4 days 3 nights camping. It was my first time camping, it still felt easy and comfortable because they prepare everything for you. Godson was an excellent guide. Couldn’t recommend him enough. Very experienced and knowledgeable. Our cook Daniel was also excellent, we had delicious home cooked meals throughout the trip. All in all, highly recommend!

Small but experienced tour operator going beyond your expectations to ensure best Safari experience
The people at Benson Safari went the extra mile to ensure that the itinerary for the Safari was up to our expectations and fulfilled our desires. We wanted to see diverse flora and encounter various animals, including birds, throughout the country, as well as walking, boat and jeep safari.
We visited the Jozani Forest, the Nyerere National Park, the Tarangire National Park, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, the Serengeti (Ndutu, Central and Western corridor), and the Lake Manyara region. Each Park is characterized by a unique landscape and different animals. Be mindful of that while planning your itinerary.
As a photographer, we had special needs for our equipment, and we wanted to go to our own pace, not feeling pressured by our guide or other travelers. Benson Safari planned with us a personalized and unique itinerary just for the two of us. We had responsive and honest communications throughout the planning and while on safari. They delivered beyond our expectations: we had no hurdles, we felt safe, the car was in good condition with spare tires and winch to be prepared for any eventualities, and our guide, Paul, was knowledgeable of the animals’ behaviors and the environment of the parks we were visiting. Paul was friendly, flexible, resourceful and made us feel safe.
If we have any suggestions for other travelers, it would be to be patient while on the look out for animals (you are not in a zoo), bring a camera and a book to take notes on the animals you will see, be aware that you travel on dirt roads that can be bumpy and dusty at time (max 50 km/hr), and days are long so prepare accordingly.
