welcoming organization
I travel with a child Sino Africa Safari have been the perfect trips for us. Drvier was nice to us, hotel was excellent, and vehicle was new. We saw all animals and it's a memorable safari to us. We will continue to travel with Sino Africa and highly recommend! Sino Africa Safari provided sun lotion when I mentioned I forgot to carry with me. Thank you for taking good care of us!

Kenya is beautiful and offers More
I took the Kenya safari with my 2 boys of 11 and 14 - ideal ages for this trip. The days are full of variation and fun - but I expect young kids to struggle. Kenya is beautiful and offers more than what we were hoping for, but the best feature of this trip was our crew (impressive driver, excellent cook and fantastic leader) - we will miss them!

Great safari and at a very reasonable price！
My husband and I went on a 6 day safari. Being peak period, the tour operators were charging an extortionate amount for a 2 week Kenya holiday with a safari and beach break. I decided to put the entire package together myself and successfully booked it for 1/2 the price.
I found Sino Africa safaris online
I dealt with Fredrick via e-mail. He replied promptly, and the cost was very competitive compared to other safari companies I had been recommended.
The safari I saw on their web link was a 6 day safari, with budget tented accommodation, so I asked for upgrades to mid-range, which they did for me and were still cheaper than the other companies.
I stayed in the accommodation I paid for which was exceptionally good. We saw all the 'Big 5' and much more. No complaints and would recommend them to other customers.

Awesome 12 days Safari in Kenya & Tanzania
The star of the company is definitely Mr. Le. Fantastic organization and very responsive. I joined a 12 days group joining safari as a solo traveler.
I spent the first 7 days in Kenya with Sammy who is a great driver and a knowledgeable guide. The national parks were awesome, especially hell's gate national park where we cycled in the park among the animals. Food is pretty decent but not much option available. Do prepare yourself for long drives as the roads close to the national parks are usually not paved and the distance between the parks is long.
Next 5 days were spent in Tanzania with the tour operator, 7 wonders. Serengeti and ngorongoro crater were amazing. Lots of wildebeest and zebras in serengeti in December as they have moved from Masai Mara. Lake manyara was a little disappointing as the one of the road was closed due to rainy season. I would suggest to spend more time in serengeti. As I was a solo traveler, I was placed into a different group on the last day.
Accommodation was either lodge or hotel in Kenya. I slept in tents in Tanzania at campsite which had hot showers.
Crossing the border is pretty easy but the queue can be long. Be prepared to change and wait for buses. And make sure you check with the tour operators on the transportation arrangement 1 to 2 days earlier. There was some confusion on my return trip to Kenya from Tanzania but it was handled very well by Mr. Le on a very short notice.
Mr.Le is a trustworthy man and operator. He was very professional. I appreciate his help greatly. =)

Professional guide and wonderful experience
Communication was fast and easy. I had exact information and very good service.
We visited Selou game reserve and Mikumi national park. They were very different from each other: in Mikumi there was savanna and in Selou it was more forest and brushwood. Our guide called was Hassan and he was polite, nice and knew a lot about animals and nature and what is the most important: he respected animals and the beautiful nature around us.
I recommend Smile with us tours!

Kenya Family Safari
We have been so blessed to travel with Sino Africa Safari on a safari to Kenya. The trip was organized so well and the staff were friendly, encouraging, informative and caring we had so many wonderful experiences and met some amazingly inspirational people in the communities we visited. The whole trip was organized very well, we felt safe and we were given many opportunities to converse with and experience firsthand so many aspects of life in Africa. Cannot speak highly enough of our tour guides and Sino Africa.

good animal viewing but roads and general environment poor
Wildlife - good viewing but most only visible on the roads, where they are almost "tame"
Guide was great. Indeed all Kenyans were nice to us.
Roads in the parks terrible limiting getting around and detracting from the pleasure of being there. A very rough ride!
Roads to get around also very crowded with terrible traffic jams, mainly due to large trucks.
Due to the inability to cross into Tanzania there were long drives to and from the parks, via Nairobi
Accommodations variable
Nairobi is a polluted crowded city with terrible traffic jams and no redeeming features
in terms of souvenirs, poor quality and very expensive with most not in ebony (although sold as ebony)

Outstanding Service!
The service provided by Sandra was amazing. Her help with planning our trip and making sure we found the right location for our honeymoon was outstanding. We could not have been happier with her recommendations of The Residence in Johannesburg and Lush Lodge, they were the perfect place for our honeymoon. Our holiday was stress free because of Sandra she made sure all transfers had us where we needed to be and her level of communication was above our expectations. Could not recommend Sandra and Traipsing Africa more.
