Good communication and service
I reserved a safari for august for me and 5 co-travellers with Reny Safaris. During the whole booking process they were very kind in responding to additional request swiftly and creatively. Unfortunately we had to cancel the tour for a number of reasons. Since it was still within the cancellation policy period they reorganised everyting as quickly as they could, cancelling the lodgings and reimbursing the money to me. A professional approach with empathy and a good sense of humour. I'm sorry I never got to go on safari with you, but hopefully in the future!

Fat Rhinos Travel took care of - and guided me through - every last detail. They're brilliant!
My experience was more than I imagined and absolutely, wonderfully unforgettable.
Once my booking was confirmed, an ahead of my trip, Dennis gave me a guiding itinerary to help me decide what I wanted to do, which was very helpful, particularly this being my first visit to Amboseli. He advised me that mine being a private trip, I would have the flexibility to make adjustments with my Driver-Guide as we went along. I did, indeed, do so, and having set an intention made it easier.
Fat Rhinos Travel paired me with Sam Mwangi Migwi, of Half Maasai Kenya Safari Transport and I could not have asked for a better pairing. Sam is a brilliant Driver-Guide. By the time we got to Emali, en route to Amboseli, I realised that I had more than a driver guide - he was a delightful travel companion. He's knowledgeable, a great storyteller and his own passion for photography made the game drives a shared experience. He has a very generous spirit and went over and above to ensure that I got the best of Amboseli.
Ol Tukai Lodge was beautiful and I cherished my elephant view room! The hospitality was great: all the staff I interacted with were kind, friendly, helpful and - most importantly - efficient.
My one wrinkle with the Lodge is that on my first night, I woke up to an uncomfortably hot room in the middle of the night because there was no power and so my fan had gone off. I fell asleep again, eventually. What was worse, though, was that I woke up at 5am to get dressed and ready for my 6am game drive and I had to get ready using the flashlight on my phone because I was still in pitch blackness with no power.
My second night was fine. I had power through the night so my fan worked and I slept comfortably and woke up to working lights.
The food was good, the room beautiful, welcoming and comfortable and other than the one wrinkle, I had a wonderful experience.
Thank you so very much!! And I love my hoodie gifted to me by Fat Rhinos Travel!!

Excellent Experience with Moabi from Steenbok Safaris
We had an excellent day trip with Moabi from Steenbok Safaris. He arranged for transport from Victoria Falls and then met us at the Botswana border. We did a morning game drive, had a delicious lunch, and then did an afternoon river boat safari. We saw lions, eleohants, giraffes, buffalo, Hippos, impalas, kudos, and many other animals. It was a wonderful experience and we highly recommend Moabi.

Excellent and Professional Service
Premier Safaris was a great experience for my family and I. We contacted them 2 months prior to our travel to Masai Mara and Maurice, who was our point of contact, was excellent, responsive and proactive in setting up our itinerary. Everything was organised in a professional manner, from the hotel booking in Nairobi to the the recommended Luxury Migration Camp in the Mara including all other arrangements such as park fees.
The arrangements made by Maurice in the Mara were equally impressive with Premier Safaris organising an excellent guide who was also a Masai and a Park Ranger so he knew the National Park like the back of his hand! Jackson, also known as “Lefty” to most people in the Mara knew all the areas where the animals were located. Most of the time he would locate the animals before the other cars and within a minute all the other cars were with us! In fact most of the drivers knew Lefty who commanded great respect. He’s often referred to the celebrity of Mara!! Lefty made it a great experience for my family. We saw 4 of the big 5 which is an impressive feet as Rhinos are very difficult to spot as are Leopards. But we saw 3 different Leopards and the famous Bahati Leopard. So this was an achievement for us. Lefty was with us all the time, providing valuable insights to the animals, drove us around across 7 game drives for hours. He was with us till the very end for a departure from the Mara back to Nairobi.
Upon our return Maurice accelerated our departure from Nairobi to our onward flight to Dubai brilliantly. He literally ushered us along with Julius in a nice people carrier to the airport. Premier Safaris were constantly in touch with us via WhatsApp prior to our trip, during and until departure which just shows the attention they pay towards their clients. And honestly speaking it was a pleasure dealing with Maurice, a lovely gentleman.
Honestly I can’t recommend Premier Safaris highly enough. They were brilliant and I will definitely contact them again for my next trip to the Mara. A professional team that pay attention to their client needs to ensure a comfortable and unforgettable experience experience.
Thank you Maurice, Lefty, Julius and the team.

Absolutely professional and reliable
Wonderful trip perfectly safe and organized. All the drivers/guides we had were amazing. We can never forget the picnic lunch in the savana or the aperitifs at sunset. We can never forget every minute there.

Friendly and competent, NTN have the expertise and contacts to make your holiday truly unforgettable
Amber Lynn from NTN helped us plan our 2-week self-drive tour of Namibia. She was able to accommodate our requirements and her suggestions (eg for guided tours) to improve our experience proved right in all cases. We had a fantastic holiday in wonderful places. Wildlife and landscapes were mind blowing, and people all over Namibia incredibly friendly and open. The lodges we stayed at were all of high standard and the food was excellent. NTN provided us with a day by day description of our tour, accommodation, sites to see and directions, which proved accurate given that the navigator does not really work that well in remote locations with no usual addresses. Thank you NTN and Amber Lynn from four happy travellers.

Professional and Friendly. Set the right expectation with commitment.
I joined the Mount Kilimanjaro and Safari in July-2008.
Since then, I have introduced a few groups from both China mainland and Hong Kong to join.
All of us were satisfied both the mountain tracking and extraordinary safari events.
The mountain guilds were well-trained and took care each member with different degree of tracking-skills to ensure all of us could reach the summit.
Whoever wants a reliable and memorable natural adventure, Victoria Expeditions is the right partner for you.
