Amazing safari!
Everything about this safari was excellent! I saw so many cool animals: lions, cheetahs, leopards, rhinos, elephants, zebras, hyenas, giraffes etc The guide was wonderful at spotting them. The food was also absolutely delicious throughout the trip: they have a cook who comes with us to prepare all our meals.
The logistics were also seamless: you can book for the safari to start on any day, they get you at the airport… It was all so well organized.
Highly recommend this safari.

Abu is the friendliest guide you could ask for
After weeks of research on different safari options, we decided to go with Long Way Expeditions, and are very thankful we did so. We wanted a locally owned and operated family team that respected and protected wildlife, and Long Way excelled all our expectations. Abu and Ann were wonderful to us throughout the whole experience. They helped us customize our trip to meet all our goals, which included a camping tour through Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro crater. They demonstrated a keen interest in the health and welfare of the wildlife, compassion for their community, and were so very friendly to us. We were also happy to learn that through their business they support their communities with education programs for underserved families, and have many great animal protection programs in the works. 10/10 I would recommend Long Way Expeditions for your next adventure. Asante sana Abu and Ann!

Simply Superb
Our experience was even better and the word brilliant does not do it justice. Our guides attention to us during our short stay was simply superb. The safari drives themselves were breathtaking, we saw everything there was to see. Beautiful luxurious tents, amazing surroundings. And at night enjoyed conversation and buffets and the fabulous atmosphere.

Absolutely phenomenal with identifying your needs and delivering
I am so so impressed with Southern Africa 360. They kept us updated on amazing specials and planned the perfect safari at Simbavati. We had the nest guide Nicole who was amazing with kids and one of the drives where we didn’t see many animals ended up being the most fun drive ever for my 10 and 12 year old! They are seasoned safari goers so they’re hard to please!!! In all our 20+ years of safari Nicole was hands down our best guide.
Nikki at Southern Africa 360 is on point with all our travel arrangements, dietary requirements, any last minute changes, anything you could want or need - she’s on top of it. She is also local to the area and knows her places inside out so she will only recommend things that are suitable for you and within budget. All our trip during our 3 years in South Africa were planned by her and we didn’t do wrong even once.

Professional yet adventurous, expansive yet value for money and organized yet in touch with nature.
We've just had one of our best adventures thanks to Suricata Safaris. Indeed we saw more animals than we thought possible. Suricata took us deep into the wilderness and we were one with the nature and yet all the time, we felt safe. We saw a pride of Lions up close, a family of Cheetahs even closer and a whole herd of Elephants within touching distance and yet it all was natural and without disturbing their space or their lives. Of course, we saw more: including Giraffes, Zebras, Leopards, Hippos, Wildebeast and many more.
They were very helpful from the get go with clear, transparent communication about the itinnery, costs and what was required. We were picked up from the airport, taken to a modern hotel and informed of the next steps with the minimum of fuss. Everything was truly "Hakuna Matata"!
We went in a group and the human interactions made it even better. The staff were helpful and involved with every step; willing to cater to requests and always provided information. Onesmo, our driver and guide is experienced and knew the ins and outs of all the animals - what they do and how they live, even if some of the facts were surprising (did you know that elephants bury their dead and hold a wake over a week?). Salim, our chef cooked to perfection everyday: breakfast, lunch and dinner, over an open fire, with a variety of tastes. He even made an extra special Tanzanian dish purely on a whim. All in all, our expectations were blown out of the water and we fully enjoyed our whole experience.

Fantastic!
Bamboo Ecotours are fantastic! We had to postpone our trip for over a year due to COVID after our permits had already been purchased. Edison did a great job communicating with me on WhatsApp and email, alleviating any concerns. Our driver Fred was very informed and made the drive to Bwindi and our "African Massage" very interesting. And though the airline lost our luggage, Herbert drove sixteen hours round trip to deliver it to us in time for our trek! They are such a great company! The lodge Edison suggested, Rushaga Gorilla Lodge, was amazing and very close to the forest entry gate. Oh yeah, the gorillas! What can I say? Spectacular!

Great Experience!
This was our second trip in Kenya with same company "Silver Spark Africa Limited. They have maintained their service, just like the previous trip. We really thank Abongo and our guide for giving us the best safari. It was a great tour that covered a lot of Maasai Mara culture. Giving us the best experienced both culture and nature. Really enjoyed the camping part of the tour in Maasai Mara at Wajee Mara.

Amazing and unforgettable experience!
Everything about Jocky was great since the first minute I contacted them. They were very helpful, and communication was always smooth. Once in Nairobi, my driver Joseph was very patient with me while I had to stop to get some cash. Also, extremely helpful with everything I needed - even a PCR test during the tour. Joseph was always asking us how we were, explaining everything about the Safari and telling us all the animals’ names. He found lions, cheetahs, leopards, rhinos, mongoose and hienas for us. We say babies (lions and cheetahs and all the baby zebras as well), and he was always delighted to see how happy we were while seeing all the animals. I’m happy to recommend not only Jocky Tours but Joseph as well. He’s amazing! Everything was perfect! ❤️

Amazing from start to end!
We just returned from an amazing 10 day safari with Spirit of Kenya and only have great things to say about them. From day 1 of the planning process, Vanessa was there to answer all our queries, customize our trip based on our preferences and make any adjustments required along the way such as planning our PCR tests. It was a real pleasure planning this trip with her and the result is exactly what we were after!
We had the same awesome experience with our driver Charles who made our trip so enjoyable. With his spotting skills and contacts, we managed to see all the animals on our bucket list! Every day, he would adjust the schedule to make sure everyone in our family (2 adults and 3 teens) had an amazing time. He kept our three teens engaged with his knowledge and with the amazing sights they got to see. All this was done with a lot of laughs and enjoyment.
For those worrying about Covid, we felt very safe in all the places we visited. Charles wore his mask at all times even though he was fully vaccinated. We all returned and received negative PCR tests (on departure and then on arrival in Canada).
Thank you so much Vanessa and Charles!
Asante sana!
