6 Days Amazing Tour with Bushtop
We did a 6 day tour in September covering Amboseli and Masai mara national parks. We used local flights between the two parks to save on long drive time which turned out a good call! Before the trip began Bushtop Kenya safaris gave us an in-depth itinerary of the entire week and were very responsive and prompt throughout our email correspondence.
In Amboseli, we had Tony as our guide and Patrick in Masai Mara and both of them were awesome. Their rich knowledge and networking skills with rangers and other guides really helped us identify some specific locations in the parks where we could find the wild animals we were looking for.
We had luxurious rooms reserved for us. They had great food on all days we spent there. During full day game drives, we had packed lunch boxes and plenty of bottled water along the journey. We were fed massively well!
We give Bushtop a 5 Star rating!

Meleck is knowledgeable, service oriented & determined to make your experience unforgettable!
I cannot express my level of satisfaction with the service I received from Meleck and his team enough. We were impressed by his knowledge of the animals, their habits and the expertise with which he navigated through the Serengeti. He anticipated our needs and answered all of our questions and concerns with kindness and patience. The accommodations were top notch and we were treated like royalty. The safari experience was incredible! I never imagined how close we could get to the wildlife. The staff was passionate about making sure we enjoyed our time in Tanzania to the fullest. If you’re looking for the perfect tour guide - look no further!

Adventure of a life time
I am lucky enough to have visited Tanzania in September 2021 and after research decided to use Great Lake Expedition because of the outstanding reviews. I'm happy to report that even the most positive reviews don't do this group justice. From the very beginning Damsoni from the Great Lake Expedition team made our experience as easy as possible - he was incredibly communicative and even proactively reached out to me as the travel requirements in and out of the US changed due to Covid.
Once we got to TZ, we spent the first 5 days on safari with our incredible guide Ignus. WOW, what an experience! Not only did we see every animal we could have ever wished to see (lions, cheetahs, rhinos, a jaguar, etc) but Ignus was incredibly knowledgeable about everything from the largest of animals to birds to insects in Tanzanias national parks. Not to mention, he's hilarious! The safari was truly 5 days of amazing scenery, close-up animal experiences and non-stop laughter. If you are considering going on a safari while in TZ you could not ask for a better team than Great Lake Expedition and Ignus!
We spent the next week climbing Killimanjaro's Lemosho route and what an adventure it was!! Truly by the end of the trip every single guide and porter felt like family - I will forever remember how kind, thoughtful and fun loving the entire crew was. Munis, Joe and Alen were our guides and each of them was knowledgeable about the mountain, our health and what to expect over coming days. Additionally, they were all a pleasure to spend time with - our climb was filled with tons of laugher, singing and joking around!! Also, the tent set up was comfortable and very clean and the food was delicious, thanks to our chef and kitchen crew (special shout out to Rama and Regan!).
I'll also mention, I had the unfortunate experience of getting quite sick on the mountain and Munisi, Joe and Rama took care of me through the entire ordeal - checking in on me constantly, bringing me ginger tea and eventually, Joe, carrying my backpack down the mountain so I could get down safely. For an unfortunate situation, they made sure I felt safe, got back to health quickly and still had an incredibly positive experience.
I truly cannot say enough positive things about this team - I will absolutely be traveling again with Great Lake Expedition and *hopefully* the team in Tanzania!!

Exceeded expectation
We booked this tour last minute and did not have time to thoroughly review the operator. We were very fortunate to have been in good hands with Lenchada from the beginning.
Alex was great at communicating swiftly and when I couldn’t pay online was ok about us paying when we started the tour.
Our tour guide James was brilliant! Friendly and good humoured (even when we encountered animals we didn’t expect. He was flexible in the arrangements and so we were able to visit a Maasi Village as well as the Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha, Lake Naukura and Nakuru National Park and finally Hell’s Gate National Park.
We felt exceptionally lucky to have seen all of the big five animals as well as close up encounters with many many more and James was determined that we would have the best experience possible.
James also managed to sort out non-tour related requirements such as helping to arrange Covid tests and collecting a forgotten item from a hotel for me! We certainly felt we have been able to trust the company with the arrangements.
The accommodations have been comfortable and clean with hot showers and good food.
We have had a fantastic experience for our first safari and will definitely recommend Lenchada to our friends. We were fortunate to have a good group and as there were only 7 of us it made the tour really special.

We had a great safari thanks to Hekima Safari
To all those who still hesitate to book their Safari with Hekima Safari, do not doubt any longer !!
We spent three dreamy days with and thanks to them everything was just perfect
Nothing is too much trouble for them, and will help you with whatever you want, even before and after the Safari.
Our guides Fred and Ely came to our hotel the day before our Safari to meet us and brief us on our safari route.
During the safari they made sure we saw all the animals possible and took us to the best spots.
They accommodated us in fabulous lodges (cleanliness, hospitality, service, food) it was just perfect!
We keep an incredible memory of this experience and we are surely coming back for another safari, with The best agency Hekima Safari #GoHekima

CUSTOMER FRIENDLY AND FAMILIAR WITH MOST PLACES OF INTEREST IN THE PARK
THE TOUR OPERATOR HAD PROGRAMMED THE TOUR QUITE PROFESSIONALLY AND WE VISITED MOST PLACES OF INTEREST. THE AIR BALLOON WAS THE MOST EXCITING AND I WOULD DO IT AGAIN AND AGAIN.
