Excellent
Great communication, real value for money. Their charge was great compared with others. Our guide Giovani arrived very early and waited patiently for us. He was very gentle and polite in his communication. He was very knowledgeable about the location of the animals and educated us on the animals we came across. I will definitely recommend kipok.

Very knowledgeable, experienced, and made sure we were able to see the Big 5 animals.
This was my first Safari with my partner and we absolutely loved it! Our tour guide Aaron was spectacular. He was very kind and made sure we saw all the big 5 animals. At times they were far away to spot but Aaron was able to point them out for us. He was always on time to pick us up and had drinks (wine) and food for us along the way. Aaron also described alot of the Tanzanian culture to us which we really appreciated. He made us feel at home and very safe. The Matawi campsite we stayed at the first night was amazing. We slept while listening to the sounds of multiple animals. The tent was very safe and secure. Dinner, breakfast and drinks were provided and the food was very good and plentiful. The staff there was INCREDIBLE. They even sent us off with a cool welcome song. I will miss them. The second hotel stay on the O’ldeani Mountain lodge is something like a fairy tale. The infinity pool overlooking the mountain was something most people only dream about. The staff was so friendly. We ended our tour in Arusha and was able to eat some local cuisine. All of the airport/hotels were included and were seamless. Mohamed maintained excellent communication with me from the start of planning this till the very end. He was also quick to respond and helpful. I will 100% recommend this tour to anyone!!!!

Love love loved it!
We booked our safari as a family with this company for our holidays.
From the moment we arrived in Nairobi until the last day, everything was well organized. From the private driver guide to the vehicle we had for several days, to the camps we stayed, everything was perfect. It was much more than we expected. From my deep heart, I want to come back again and with them!

Perfectly organized and very aware of our needs
Great, thanks so much!
Our 10-day round trip with Explorer Kenya was perfectly organized and a great discovery for us!
Our guide, John Kariuki, showed us some of the most beautiful safari locations in the country. We had heartbreaking beautiful moments in nature with wonderful animal encounters! But we were also able to get to know an impressive country with very diverse landscapes and extremely warm people.
John led this tour with a steady hand, a lot of experience and profound knowledge of nature, the country and the people. We always felt safe. He not only answered our many questions. He has always actively pointed out connections about society, nature and living of the Kenyan people to us, so that we can understand his country and take authentic travel experiences home with us - special thanks for this great commitment!
We got really hungry to discover more of Kenya!

Very professional, timely, caring and fantastic passion to ensure customers don’t return disappointd
Very quick turnaround, punctuality with great concern for customer’s time. They do go out of the way to ensure guests are happy, purpose is served and everyone makes it on time back home. One tour guide stayed back especially for 2 guests who didn’t come back on time. While other guides then helped drop his guests who were on time. This was phenomenal

Excellent and Friendly Service
There were 3 of us on a Safari tour with our guide and driver, Sele. He was very professional, friendly and informative throughout the two day safari. He knew all of the best spots to see the animals and was very accommodating to us - always asking us where we would like him to stop for the best shots of the animals. The overnight stay was stunning whereby we camped at the top of a mountain in a very spacious and luxurious tent and there was also an infinity pool overlooking the city and mountains! The evening meal cooked by Godson was stunning with fresh fish included. Overall, it was a fabulous experience and we wouldn’t have wanted anyone else to take us on an amazing two day safari in Tarangire and Ngorongoro. Many thanks to Sele, Godson and the rest of the team for making it an unforgettable experience.

Went above and beyond to wake up early in the morning, guide was very knowledgable and spoke great English and French. Great food also.
Best staff and therefore the best safari!
I’ve not done a safari before but I’ve heard others complain about various other companies. Serengeti Wakanda was an amazing company. The manager (Bartho) was extremely helpful and always responded to my emails in the weeks leading up to the safari within hours. The guide for the tour (Andrew) and the chef (Idrisa) were both incredible people and made the whole experience all the better. Andrew knew his stuff and made sure that we saw the big 5 as closely as possible. The days started early, but he made sure that we were always the first to leave camp to increase the chance of seeing the big 5. This was especially successful on the day we saw the rhino as no other company that day saw one. The food was perfect too. Definitely the company to choose if you’re going on safari in Tanzania.

Perfectly Executed Once in a Lifetime Experience
I had the pleasure of organising our 2 night, 3 day Safari for our group of 7, and I must say from the very beginning Qualified Tours seemed almost too good to be true (spoiler alert: It was even better than it seemed in real life, and there was no catch!!!). I liaised with at least 4 other Safari companies, and Qualified were the most accommodating, quick to reply, and informative through WhatsApp. With everything included, for the price, we were seriously astounded at the quality and care of the whole tour which persisted throughout. We were allowed to chose where we wanted to be picked up and dropped off, the food provided was delicious and catered to different diets in our group, the vehicle was big enough for us all + our luggage and was very comfortable and enabled great viewing of the animals. We were lucky enough to get upgraded to the Hhando Coffee Lodge for accommodation, which was right by the Ngorongoro crater - so close we got to see Elephants in the distance! Our tour operator Mdee was lovely, we felt very well taken care of by him, and he was also clearly very knowledgable in terms of the animals, and happy to answer all of our questions! Overall I cannot recommend Qualified Tours enough, we all had an incredible experience, and I would say it would be very difficult to find a better company to book with. They are certainly offered the best value for money tours that I was able to find when booking, and given the immense quality of and level of care put into these tours, it would be a mistake to book anywhere else.
