Perfect Safari Experience
We booked our family safari with Crimson Brooke Safaris - and it was the best decision we could have made. We were quite particular about what we wanted in our safari experience and the communication from Crimson Brooke was absolutely second to none despite our constant and frequent questions or requested changes - nothing was a hassle to them at all.
All elements of the Safari were first class - from the pickup at our hotel in Nairobi to the drop off, everything was perfect. Our accomodation was brilliantly unqiue and a special mention must go to our driver Reuben who navigated the Masai Mara like an expert, consistently spotting unqiue wildlife and having us on the scene before any other parties - we can't say enough great things.
This was one the best experiences we have had and when we come back next time we will have absolutely no hesitation reaching out to Amos and Betty at Crimson Brooke Safari's to do it all again - their care and attention to detail in ensuring our satisifcation with every facet of the safari was absolutely first class.

Highly Recommend! Planned a trip of a lifetime.
I would highly recommend Megan Warrington from Discover Africa. She planned the trip of a lifetime for my family! She was professional, service oriented and every detail was done perfectly. During the trip, Megan reached out to check in to see how things were going and she also offered her own personal phone number should we need anything. Megan went above and beyond and I could not recommend a better travel agent. We will be using her in the future. Thank you.

My trip operator was intelligent, personable and attentive to my needs
Primate Journeys was very good to work with. They provided me with all i wanted to see and do. From the big 5 and many other species to the different tribes i wanted to visit. i got to try the many different African foods and learned a great deal about Trible history and customs. I would recommend them to anyone.

Excellent
The ivory tree game lodge is a five star experience. Thabang, Arnold shuttle drivers are the best well knowledgeable but Im sure all the drivers are! Lesedi culture village is amazing its my personal favorite.

Amazing day!!!!
Everything is well organized! I had to postponed my booking because of a flight issue and it was easy to talk with someone. The driver was there on time and the day was just amazing! I do recommend it without any hesitation!

A trustworthy service in Africa
After traveling a lot around the world and getting in touch with a bunch of various travel companies, I can firmly say that Worthwhile Africa Safaris is one of a kind in the best possible sense. Their tours are fun, welcoming, and done in cooperation with the most reliable local operators.
I had two tours with this company in Uganda: the Jinja Experience and the Equator. Both tours were run with great safety and a high level of respect for the visitor. They were also customized to my needs, paying detailed attention to what I wanted to see and do, adding a little bit of extra to pepper my experiences :) In Jinja, I had a lot of fun challenging myself doing white-water kayaking, while in the Equator, I was amazed by the results of the experiments carried out to show the difference between the Southern and Northern hemispheres.
I learned a lot about Ugandan culture, traditions, and customs. Additionally, I had a chance to enjoy the perfectly beautiful scenery on the way and taste very delicious local foods and beer.
My experience with Worthwhile Africa Safaris was short but memorable and totally worth the money I spent. We ended my tours with a pleasant and swift transfer to the airport, where I was seen off like I rarely am, even when I fly from home. Once again, thank you, Worthwhile Africa Safaris, for your support and help and for making me home in Uganda.

My trip
My trip was amazing. It was my first time visiting Kenya and as a solo traveler i was a bit nervous about the trip. But Spirits of Kenya made my trip an easy one. Starting from the airport pick up until the drop off it was smooth and everything was tailored to my liking and needs. The team was amazing during my visit specifically Filipa and my tour guide, they were both helpful, friendly and great people.

Unreliable and defensive service in Coastal Kenya
I wouldn’t recommend this company for the following reasons:
1. The company doesn’t keep its promises. I wanted to book a tour with them, and we agreed I could make a bank transfer. Yet, since it was a public holiday in my country and the tour was just in the next few days, I warned them they might not receive the funds in their account before the tour, so I asked if I could send a bank statement and a screenshot to prove the transaction. They agreed. However, when I transferred the money and sent the statement with a screenshot, they refused to accept the evidence and said they wouldn’t confirm the tour until they received the funds in their account.
2. Their employees are unprofessional and extremely defensive. Whenever I tried to explain to them that they don’t keep their promises (as described above), they were quick to blame me for everything. For example, they said that I “guaranteed” they would receive the funds on time, which never happened and which is why I asked if they accept statements as evidence of payment. The other day, they emailed me, claiming I used offensive language when talking with them over the phone. However, I saw the phone number they said I called for the first time, and I always contacted them using a different number, so apparently, they mixed me with someone else that was using abusive language with them. No apologies were made on their side for making these false statements about me. The only answer I got from them was that I was “wasting their time.”
3. The company’s approach to receiving client payments seems shady. I paid 110.00 USD for a tour by bank transfer, which was successfully processed by my bank and correctly accepted by their bank. However, they reverted my payment without an explanation. This would be fine, but they refunded only 70.00 USD, meaning 40.00 USD was deducted from my account. When I brought this situation to the company’s attention, they refused to accept that they even got my payment, blaming the banks for not transferring the money to their account. However, I contacted both my and their banks, and both banks confirmed that Travel Shore Africa did receive my money but decided to return it partially without providing any explanation.
All in all, my experience in Mombasa could have been better if I hadn’t contacted Travel Shore Africa. All I got from them was empty promises, disrespect, and lost money.

Paul is a top notch fun loving cheaky being, party's on from Dusk till Dawn, camp ain't fun w'out Po
I thought I had to write it all up there, I've gone on several camps with Paul and this guy, Apaana, his vibe is unmatched, I would recommend him as a stress clinic/reliever coz he knows when you need the fun most, he knows several languages and he decently mixes the trending slangs into the languages and keeps y'all entertained all though the trip, his activities are also fun, Please note ,don't annoy Paul , you don't want to be on his wrong side ...when it's business, it's strictly business.
PS. I wish I could give us space here to post some videos and pics in these trips.

Highly Recommend Estleon for Private Safari
My wife and I had a wonderful 7 day private safari with Estleon Adventures. Our driver, Isaac, was knowledgeable, personable, patient and a wonderful driver (an essential on Kenyan roads). We saw lots of wildlife, beautiful areas of Kenya and had a great balloon ride. Accommodations and food were outstanding. Esther was great to work with and helpful when we needed to adjust our schedule. Highly recommend Estleon Adventures.
