Great experience, go with the flow
We had a fantastic experience on the 4 day Masai Maara and Lake Nakuru Safari. Seth was very quick to respond to all communications. At some points we weren't exactly sure what our itinerary was, and we changed game drivers between Masai Maara and Lake Nakuru which was unexpected, but totally fine because we got to hear from the expertise of two different drivers. So, just go with the flow and they will take good care of you!
We were super lucky to see the big 5. Our first game driver, Peter, was fantastic and made sure we had an excellent experience in Masai Maara, and our second driver, Jimmy was also awesome and made sure we saw everything we wanted to see in Lake Nakuru NP. Food and accommodations were also great, and as expected.
Thanks for the great trip!

Memorable lifetime experience of Kenya
This was our first visit to Africa. We are world travelers and we must say our first African safari was wonderful. We did a private tour of Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Naivasha. Emmah helped a lot in fine tuning what we wanted to see, when and in what sequence . We got a good 4X4 vehicle and Kim as our driver was great too. The game drives were awesome, the balloon ride in the sunrise was unbelievable and the hotels were good choices. Overall memories of a lifetime .

Awesome Experience
My daughter and I had an astoundingly wonderful safari experience with Martin Vigambo of Fede Tours and Logistics.
When exploring possible destinations and safari options for a 2020 trip, Martin very quickly responded to my online questions with helpful specifics about his safari recommendations, and clear options and cost levels from which to choose. In our first phone call, he said “I will be your driver and guide.” This level of personal service from the start led me to choose Fede Tours, and his personal commitment was evident throughout 3 years of delay (my choice) due to COVID, and through the entire safari experience.
Martin is very knowledgeable about the wildlife, terrain, history and culture of Kenya, and shares facts and stories at the perfect moment to enhance the experience of witnessing animals in the wild. He is a wise and careful driver, and I always felt safe in his vehicle, even in very rough terrain. His passion for the beauty and magic of his country is evident in his genuine joy in sharing.
I never dreamed we would see so many animals and such exciting moments (for example, both cheetahs and lions hunting and killing wildebeest). We saw every animal we’d hoped to see, and many more. Martin knew where to go and how to position our vehicle to see wildlife in action, while always respecting the animals’ needs for space. He took us to three parks (Samburu, Lake Nokuru and Maasai Mara), and knew them very well. He told detailed stories about individual animals and their specific family histories.
Martin selected very comfortable accommodations for us which surpassed our expectations. We particularly loved the personalized services at two smaller camps: Ashnil Camp at Samburu Park and Mtito Safari Camp at Maasai Mara. At both of these, the level of personalized attention and care was superb. One example: after a tour of the organic garden at Mtito, our dinner that evening featured the vegetables we said we most liked
A private safari offers an opportunity to learn about one’s guide as well as wildlife. When asked, Martin was open about the rich human culture of Kenya as well as his own life experiences. He was likewise interested in ours, while always careful to respect our privacy and comfort. We left Kenya with a dear friend in Martin.
Martin met our every request with ease, and a fun and playful spirit. From start to finish, he was true to his word and went above and beyond to make our experience the best it could possibly be. I cannot recommend Fede Tours and Martin Vigambo more highly.

Review about Serengeti National Park by Bob Lyle
Amazing park. This is all QA the location everyone imagines when you think of a safari. Don't miss the western Serengeti if it's during the migration. Amazing!!!

Awe inspiring landscape and wildlife for everyone to enjoy on a trip of a lifetime.
I enjoyed 5 days traveling in the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater viewing the amazing wildlife and the treasures of Africa. I was amazed at the number of animals that share the national parks. Soul of Tanzania and our driver Walter provided a lifetime of memories and I have so many pictures and adventures to share with family and friends. The tent camping experience was fantastic. I would go again.

Wonderful safari experience!
We had a great experience with our safari in Tanzania. Safari By Z proved to be a great tour operator, providing our family with the safari we wanted. They were very helpful and flexible in setting up our tour, enabling us to pick the schedule, camps and locations we wanted. Our guide, Isaya was very experienced and a good fit with our 12 year old daughter. I would recommend Tanzania for anyone considering a safari. If you have a chance to see the great migration it's a real highlight! I also recommend that people design their own safari so that you get the experience you want.

I am strongly recommending Shammah Wonders Safari!
My family and I booked a 2 days safari in Nyerere National Park with flights from and to Zanzibar and an overnight stay at Africa Safari Lodge.
Justine was very service minded and helpful in planning our trip. He listened to all our wishes and made adjustments such that we got the program we wanted (game drive and boat safari on day 1 and game drive and bush walk on day 2), got to stay in the lodge we requested and were offered a very reasonable price.
The safari itself was amazing! We had a very good car allowing us to get close to the animals. Our guide, Elihakim Sehaba, was very friendly, extremely knowledgeable, and knew the national park inside out, allowing us to see a lot of beautiful scenery and many exciting animals (incl. lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, hippos, crocodiles, baboons and many more).
The lodge where we stayed was also very comfortable with big bungalows, good food, a bar, pool, etc.
We could not have had a better experience!

Fantastic experience!!
Excellent safari—saw all the big 5!!! Suricata had amazing customer service!!! Especially appreciate Hillary’s availability by text the night before as well as throughout—just in case we needed anything. We requested a hotel stay instead of camping (had just come off hiking Kilimanjaro and were craving some creature comforts); our stay was at the newly opened operator resort: Suricata Boma Lodge. It was one of the most beautiful resorts I have ever stayed in, and the all inclusive dinner was stellar.
All pick ups and transfers were on-time and exactly as promised, which was a relief and different from other experiences in Africa we have had.
Would recommend again!
