We clicked immediately like old good friends and for the whole time we felt taken care by David.
First of all, this wasn’t our first safari nor first visit in Kenya. We already had some pretty high expectations in mid range budget for 7 days safari, then at the last moment we added additional day in Nairobi. We wanted to maximize our time as much as possible and see all our favorite national parks and private conservations. David has created Safari proposal that met our requests, expectations and needs. What’s more - he was such an amazing person that he keep contacting us two/three times per day, just to make sure everything is going according to our plan and we are satisfied- even after safari, while relaxing in Diani beach - he organized for us a driver, all domestic flights and pick up to the airport. Even in the airport and during our travel back home - he was checking on us are we fine and was worry about our way back home since the heavy winter had already started in Poland. We didn’t just gain an exceptional Safari tour operator in David’s persona and his company, I believe we have earned a real friend that we always can count on - and because of that, we will continue to keep coming back to Kenya and other countries of Central Africa, knowing that we always have a friend who we can rely on. Thank you David and see you soon!

Very knowledge and helpful
This was the most phenomenal trip I have ever taken I was given all options of different safaris, prices and all the information on all of them I was very happy with the help I was given in choosing my trip. I felt the price was great considering the trip and all that was included. The accommodations were great, the food was great and the game drives were out of this world. I would recommend go travel and this trip to everyone and I would go again in a heartbeat!

Well organized and fun tour!
We had a perfect three day safari to Masai Mara. Our group was fun and we had the best driver possible (Jackson). He was very experienced and knew the best times and places to see all possible animals and we learned a lot about them. The safari had just the right length and program and we could decide flexibly whether we wanted to visit the Masai village or do the bot ride. The tented camp we stayed at was very appropriate for the price we payed and was equipped with own shower, toilet and lots of space. Wifi and electricity was only provided in the evenings, which was fine for us. We'd highly recommend the tour!

Very insightful and beautiful to see.
Had an amazing tour throughout kenya and Tanzania with Goodluck Kombe. We went to the Serengeti and the Ngorogoro crater and it was a life changing experience.

Wild Planet Safari delivers the best of Kruger National Park
My partner and I booked the 5-day express tour of Kruger National Park which took us through the central and southern parts of Kruger. Our tour guide, Chris, and his assistant, Hopeson, were excellent and friendly guides. Chris is very knowledgable about both fauna and flora and has an eagle eye for spotting animals. Hopeson made sure we were always comfortable and well-fed. We stayed at a different park lodge each night, which allowed us to cover a lot of territory. The bungalows are not luxurious, but have all the basic amenities (towels, soap, kitchen equipment, A/C, etc.), are comfortable and perfectly suited for mid-level budget travel. Included in the package was one night tour, which was great (we saw three lions, hyena, lesser bush babies and more). We also paid extra to go on an early-morning walk in order to get out of the truck for a few hours. This was fascinating as you are literally amongst the animals (armed guides accompany you for protection). I highly recommend Wild Planet Safari and especially Chris and Hopeson as guides.

Best! Holiday! Ever! - Thank you Brilliant :D
Communication: From the get-go, Brilliant stood out from other tour operators in their professional approach. Communication with our agent, Julieth, was smooth and she accommodated all our wishes and gave us expert advice when planning our Safari. Also, unlike other tour operators, Brilliant never spammed my inbox with daily emails, but only sent a small number of timely reminder emails.
Service: From the moment we touched down in Arusha, we felt like true VIPs. Our guide, Joshua, made all our wishes true, even those we never uttered out loud. In addition to the outstanding hospitality and service, Joshua proved incredibly knowledgeable with respect to animals, plants, and Tanzanian culture. We really felt that we learned a lot from him and, for us, this was particularly rewarding.
Accommodations: We selected the mid-range options, which for our standards could easily be considered luxury. All accommodations felt like ‘authentic Tanzanian’, with attentive and caring staff. The rooms, including the bathrooms, were incredibly spacious and the food was outstanding. Also, while other Safari guests had ‘lunchboxes’, we often found ourselves with a three-course picnic for lunch instead!
Value for money: After comparing a number of safari operators in preparation for our trip, we are convinced that Brilliant Adventures & Safaris offers a highly competitive package. Indeed, offers from other tour operators featured limited game drive mileage and did not include the flight to Zanzibar or unlimited (soft) drinks.
Experience: This was hands down the best holiday experience we ever had and Brilliant had a large part in making the trip unforgettable for us. If you care for professional communication, reliable arrangements, outstanding service, and great accommodations, all at a competitive price, you cannot go wrong when booking with Brilliant!

Memorable experience
We Book our safari with Safina, she operated everything with higher standards route itself was great - we got to see a lot of beautiful places, Nationalparks and animals. But also the accommodations were wonderful. Our guide Abouh was amazing, he explained a lot (he knows a everything about wildlife, the nationalsparks and about life in Tanzania) and drove us safely the entire trip.
I recommend booking your Safari with Serengeri African Tours for memorable experience in Tanzania

The Serengeti shall not Die - Raphael / Mawe will bring life and understanding to these words.
As an experienced World traveler I have learned that a great adventure requires
the Best tour guide you can get. Raphael ( Rafa) and Mawe African Ventures customized two memorable trips to the Serengeti , Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire National Parks
and provided life memories I will never forget. Traveling solo with Rafa from the Northern border ( Mara River ) to the Southern gate in this magical wonderland of wildlife was a mind blowing experience. Witnessing the wildebeest / Zebra migration , hearing the migration melody , and seeing up close the African Big 5 was only part of the trip experience. His vast knowledge of the wildlife, birds, geography, and ability to share cultural insights about TZ and the Maasai people was a bonus.
I found Rafa to be reliable, respectful,
full of positive energy, and fun to be with. His attention to detail and safety were greatly appreciated. It takes great effort to travel and see the Wonders of the World and Rafa / Mawe enhanced my experience with lifetime memories of these trips.

Good communication, knowledgeable and friendly
I went on a solo 3 day group joining safari with Simba Paka in June and had an amazing time! Paul was very helpful with answering questions (as I was nervous traveling alone) and organizing my lodging and trip with the group. Francis was our driver and tour guide and we saw 4 of the big 5 in 2 days. What a life changing adventure! Paul also helped arrange a private driver to take me to the Sheldrick elephant orphanage and Giraffe Centre on my last day in Nairobi. This trip was unlike any other and also very affordable. Highly recommend!

Right On
I looked around the internet to find a good tour. From the beginning Jackson (owner) worked with me to put together the perfect trip. 4 parks in 10 days, 4 different lodges. He was always available for questions and we made several changes along the way. The trip turned out perfect and the guide wonderful. The lodges got nicer and nicer, the food better and better as we went. The game drives always produced a diversity of sightings and Nixon the guide had a lot of knowledge and experience. We definitely picked the right company. Everybody involved was wonderful and helpful.
