Nature at it's best in 3 days!
Our tour to Amboseli national park with Safari Update Travels was a real treat.
They took care of us from the moment we arrived to the airport in Nairobi till the moment we finished the tour. Silas was very instrumental in making our safari a success. The trip to Amboseli park took a lot of time because of heavy traffic but our tour guide was really good and we didn’t experience this as a problem.
We decided to stay in Ol-Tukai Lodge during our safari and that was a good choice because we were located in the middle of the national park. This allowed us to enjoy park wildlife every minute. We could observe a heard of elephant even during our lunch from the table.
Food in the lodge was unforgettable with so many choices and beautiful tastes which we enjoyed. Staff in the Lodge received us warmly and they took good care of us.
During the safari we were able to see a large number of different animals.
We will never forget this trip. Safari Update Travels are the best!

Exceptional, Laser Focused on Details, Exotic Trip Organizer
I planned this trip for myself and my son starting a few years ago. I chose to book my trip with Giltedge based on the feedback from friends in the travel industry. My initial trip was canceled due COVID so I had restart from scratch. Giltedge was there from beginning to help me navigate the desired 10 day safari trip to Botswana. Even though it was not possible to duplicate the original itinerary 100%, I was extremely happy with the trip that we came back from yesterday morning. We stayed in 4 camps in Botswana and 2 hotels, one on arrival in Johannesburg and the other in Victoria Falls. Each of the camps in Botswana was just perfect, from travel to accommodations, location and the knowledge of each camps safari drivers/trackers. We first stayed at Camp Xakanaxa for 2 nights, which both, my son and I liked the best. We then flew to Xugana Island Lodge where we also stayed for 2 nights and liked it a lot as well. The 2 mentioned camps were smaller and in one we were 8 people and the other 10 all together, so that at most, we shared the daily rides into the bush with 2 other people. The next camp for 3 days was Savute that was a bit more modern (not that it mattered) and sported a water hole that faced the dining room tables. There was always lots of game to watch while you had your dinner. We saw elephants, hyena, lots of impalas and kudus. The final camp was Chobe Game Lodge for 3 days as well. This was a fairly large place that can accommodate over 100 people. Somehow we felt that the camp was a re-introduction of what awaited us back home. Great service, food and service. We even had massages. In my opinion, this camp should be either the first one on the itinerary or second, this way one retains the exotic feel of the safari. To end our trip my decided to drive to Victoria Falls for 1 day. Needless to say, the falls are just amazing. However, it was too much travel for 2 hours of sightseeing, so I would recommend that people who plan on our type itinerary, perhaps start from Victoria Falls and end at Xakanaxa or Moremi, another camp close by.
Obviously took lots of picture that will take lots of time to organize, but it's all worth it for a "once-in-a-life" experience.

Enjoyable safari!
We did the 3 days and 2 nights luxury safari for our honeymoon courtesy of Safari Update Travels. We really enjoyed every bit of it. From where we were staying in Nairobi it took us approximately five hours to get to our safari destination. We stopped for a break after 2 hours at an art gallery.
Once we got to the Mara we were amazed with the animals we saw. Our tour guide was friendly and welcoming.
The hotel we stayed for the whole period was way beyond our expectations, the food was top notch not forgetting the entire staff who attended to us. Linsel who works with Safari Updates was kind enough to make a special arrangement for us the newly wedded couples which we honestly didn't expect as it was a surprise. This being our first ever safari we really enjoyed. Thank you Safari Update Travels for making our safari one of a kind.

A real life experience with humans and nature
That's was a real amazing experience with this team, Dismas, Nianda and all the group thanks for this incroyable experience with you. Kilimanjaro by western breach and really hard conditions at the last part but we did it!!.
Before going here i didn't want to live a touristic experience. When i'm traveling i want to exchange and live simple like people are living in their country. With natural attraction safari this trek was great for that. No blabla for nothing, an experience with professional human background.
I did a safari too with Barack and great to understand a little bit better how it works in tanzania with different culture and people and we saw so much animals. Great day too.
Some guide could speak in French and English. They know what they say. The team was so reactive to add an answer to my questions and the same for the safari they booked it so fast after my demand because at the beginning it wasn't booked. They help me with phone card and help me to discover arusha market and some products.
Again great human experience in nature with specialists
