Helpful and responsive
I have just completed a safari organized by the kimgoni agency. Everything was up to our expectations; program, guide, driver, accommodation.
Philipo and Joseph listened to me from start to finish and were always very responsive.
I recommend Kimgoni. The family is conquered.

One of my best experience ever
The agency followed as from our Arrival at Arusha Airport to our departure. Even if the Safari lasted only 3 day we were able to visit both Serengeti and Ngoro Ngoro parks seeing almost all animals. We booked a group tour (6 people) with other people but private lodge that we found always very comfortable (Angata lodges). The think that amazed me the most was our driver/guide, Assad Ally Guga, who satisfied all our needs and answered all our questions about animals. He put a lot of efforts in findings animals allowing us to see most of them. He enjoys his work letting us enjoy our experience creating a familiar and welcoming environment.
I do suggest Suricatasafari and ask for Assad as a guide/driver.

Incredible Safari experience -especially with Aziz our guide
We thoroughly enjoyed our honeymoon Safari experience with Lion King Adventures. We strongly recommend Aziz our safari guide, who was incredibly knowledgable about all animals we saw (from small as Ant lions to as large as the Eland). Aziz was also friendly, spoke perfect English, was always on time and made our Safari experience even more special. We saw all the big five, and many many more. The vehicle was comfortable and spacious, and fully stocked with refreshing cold drinks. Would recommend this company to anyone wanting to have a great Safari experience.

Simply the best safari operator ... always again
We, a family of four with two kids (10, 15) have spent a 7 days / 6 nights safari tour in Kenya in the last week of June 2023 ... and we are glad that we had arranged it with African Mosaic Tours. Max is your contact person for organization, keep bothering him on special interests, highlights, etc. ... he can male it happen. And request Omari as your guide and driver, he is professional and knowledgable as well as friendly and handsome, a great person. He even invited us to his private house for lunch (after the safari), very nice family and good food :-)
Omary promised (not to mix with "granted") Big 5 and he delivered !!! We saw not only thousands of elephants and buffalos, but also black rhinos, leopards and dozens of lions. Not to mention all the other beautiful wildlife and birds. It was a great tour, perfectly organized and professionally accomplished, thanks to the Team.
We started at Mombasa International Airport and ended at our vacation house in Diani Beach. Take a Jeep, not a Mini-Van, don't safe the money on that. You want to go on safari, not on city sightseeing or a picknick tour !!! Again, take a JEEP. Better views, great feeling, more space and never any problem even during those sometimes tricky road conditions ... and not to mention the jealous sights of tourists sitting in the small and low mini vans ...
Now a brief summary of our tour. We visited Tsavo West, Amboseli and Tsavo East. Our main route stops were
- Rhino Sanctuary (a must in Tsavo West, there are not many black rhinos left elsewhere),
- Ngulia Safari Lodge (1st night, rather simple, but great terrace including leopard visit),
- Mzima Springs (nice green environment, ask fpr Steven) and Shatani Lava (okay to drive by),
- Amboseli National Park (awesome park to see Kilimandjaro), stay here in the park at
- Ol Tukai Safari Lodge (2nd + 3rd night, better stay two nights to relax and to see the big dude which is often covered by clouds), then
- Ziwani Tented Camp (4ht night, great with crocos, hippos, safari walk, night safari), continued to
- Taita Hills and Salt Lick Safari Logde (5th night, a must, the city above the skies), and finally went into Tsavo East to
- Sentrim Tsavo Tented Camp (6th night, here we saw a herd of 14 (!) lions).
There are for sure hundreds of other nice places to visit and it first of all depends on starting point (Nairobi or Mombasa), available time and disposable budget. I can only stress one thing: You go to Kenya primarily to see wildlife, hence focus on this, you will never regret or forget the experience you will make.
Thanks again to Max and Omari and greetings also from Mama, Egon and Tamina :-)

Great trip with super drivers.
I travelled in a family party of nine in two vehicles supplied by Maasai Wanderings on a six day safari in three different camps in Tanzania. The tour was superb but what really made it for us was the drivers. They were lovely people who joked and laughed with the family and I think they must have enjoyed the trip as much as we did. I do wonder how the tour would have been if the drivers had been less friendly, knowledgable and such fun. Not only were they nice to be with they were always on time and very reliable. Wilson 1 and Wilson 2 as they became known added to a lot to our safari which in every sense was a wonderful experience.

Honest , prompt in answering all my queries, easy to deal with, professional. Hotels and guides
We met Jackson on our first day in Arusha for our 6 day tour : Serengeti , ngorongoro ngorongoro, tarangire, kilimamjaro day hike and matureni waterfalls and coffe tour. This tour was perfect for us because it included everything we wanted to do in and around Arusha. His service, professionalism and honesty was faultless. The itinerary that he sent me was clear and detailed with photos. I loved the actual itinerary and the way he laid it out.
Jackson even helped us to get a local sim utilising one of his contacts who was equally professional and extremely helpful in setting it up and I’m so grateful for him for enabling us to be connected to the internet all through our stay with a one month great 9gb package for 20,000tsh. We sat down with Jackson and his friend on the first day and had pizza together and we could honestly say that it was one of the highlights of our trip chatting and getting to know those two kind and pleasant Tanzanian young men.
I have to say the highlight for me dealing with jackson was his prompt responses to all my questions about the tour on what’s app before I committed to the tour and equally after. He took care of everything from accomodation, tours, transfers and food all with a 10/10 score.
Even when there was a bit of miscommunication when I asked for an upgrade to a lodge in ngorongoro ngorongoro and Serengeti, he dealt with it extremely professionally and it was sorted out smoothly. His respect , calmness and welcome of us certainly made our experience all the more positive.
If you want to do any tourism in Arusha or surrounds he is defiantly the one.
Regarding the trip itself:
Safari at Serengeti and tarangire was amazing . But note that the trip from Arusha to Serengeti is around 5 hours and the road into the Serengeti park and even for a while after you enter the park is very bumpy and it takes a good hour before you start spotting animals . But then it is amazing and an absolute must once on a life time experience.
Ngorongoro ngorongoro was such an amazing place and it was all the more special because we spotted a rhino close up and running for a good while.
The Kilimanjaro 5 hour climb from the gate at 1800m elevation to mandara hut at 2720m caught us by surprise . It was a little strenuous for us and took 6 hours including lunch break, we had to rush so our companion travellers can catch their 8.20 flight to Zanzibar.
I still loved it though and was very happy to do it . So glad we rented the hiking shoes because they are a must.
Matureni falls were absolutely spectacular and breathtaking. Be prepared to get your shoes very muddy or just rent some gumboots.

Flexible, efficient & well-organized
Kiboko team is extremely helpful and they organized an amazing 9-day safari package for us. They even helped us with our plans at the end of our time in savanna - highly recommended, especially to anyone traveling to Kenya for the first time.
The safari was an unforgettable experience and our driver-guide Samuel tried his best to track as many animals as possible. Importantly (and unlike other drivers around) he was very respectful of animals and didn’t drive right in their way, which we really appreciated and could peacefully observe all animals around.
Thanks a lot for making our first time in Kenya memorable.

Friendly, efficient and informative
My daughter, her friend and I had a tour of Victoria falls . Kuda, our guide, could not have been more helpful and atentative. He told us about the local history and animals, we met along the way. He took us to a great spot where we had lunch and could watch all the people bungee jumping and zip wiring. A thoroughly enjoyable trip, thank you.
