Natural World provided us with a fantastic level of service from start to finish.
The communication from Duncan who was orgainising our trip was fantastic. He was prompt with responses and provided us with all the pre-info we needed to plan for our safari.
While on safari the tour guides we were allocated in Tanzania (Emilton) and Kenya (Shauri) were first class. They both ensured we were fully looked after both during the drives and at each accomodation and any special request we had was met with the custom "hakuna matata" (no worries) mentality. Their understanding of the landscape and knowledge (inc secter whereabouts) of the animals was amazing.
My wife and I would highly recommend using Natural World Kenya Safaris and we would certainly use again in future should we be luckily enough to safari again.

Review about Masai Mara National Reserve by Hanna
Open, wild and authentic. A lot of tourists but because of the big park, we didn´t really bother each other that much.

Astonishing and rich experience
This was a perfect experience. Accommodations accordly to expectations. Very diverse and good food, both in quantity and quality. The hosts, drivers and guides have always been outstanding in their competence, availability, organization and friendliness.

Great but way too many hours in the safari vehicle driving between the different parks.
Great wildlife and our accomodation, Losokwan, was above our expectations. Simple but we had everything we needed and the staff were very helpful and friendly. We very really in the middle of everything! Elephants and buffalos right outside our tent during the nights. 5 hours drive to Lake Nakuru from Masai Mara was ok and the lodge; Flamingo Hill was very nice and with a pool. Great staff. Wildlife ok but we preferred the open landscape in Masai Mara. 9,5 hrs drive from there to Amboseli; not ok. Exhausting drive through Nairobi and the camp; Zebra Plains Amboseli camp was not at all as expected. Dirty, dusty, hardly no furnitures and showed no resemblance with the pictures on their webpage. However, very nice staff. Wildebeest safari had a very nice driver but he was not really interested in what we wanted to experience. It felt like he rushed through the parks. All in all; a 5 out of 10 for the whole safari-experience. Sadly...

Safari experience is good but met an unfortunate scam from a local tour company
Safari experiences on wildlife, scenery and weather are good. Food are generally ok for all meals except for lunch, there is no option for lunch as it is pre-packed by the accommodation and it is always the same food despite from different accommodation. There are many different range of accommodation which I mostly enjoy except for 1 or 2 places that are too small but decent with hot shower.
The only disappointment I have is being scam by the local safari company which I paid 50% deposit (in March 2019) prior my trip (in August 2019) but the company was uncontactable, their website is down and various travel websites alerted about this company scam. I choose this safari company (Kenya Walking Safari Survivors Ltd) based on the good reviews given in your safaribooking website listing. I was pretty affected by this whole incident to be left stranded at the airport for > 6 hours and trying to make a police report and find alternative safari tour so last minute.

Nightmare
Please Jimmy, do not go on your trip. You will be stranded. I was supposed to start my safari on 9/5. You were horribly scammed and should not go. Please anyone reading this do not go expecting a trip. You will be very sorry and not in a safe situation. Report this immediately to your credit card company. I do not want to see anyone else go through what I have gone through.
PS. Never went on trip...just had to input something, so I put August.

Great safari organized in Zimbabwe!
Me and my wife wanted to spend our holidays somewhere in the wild and try to see cheetahs for the first time. We have seen Big5 in the past but no luck with cheetahs. This is why we wanted to be in a park where we have good chances of spotting them. Diana from Zambezi Safari & Travel was very helpful in taking the decision to have a safari in Hwange NP. We split our stay between Nehimba and Bomani Lodges. Nehimba is the best place to see elephants from 2-3 m distance while Bomani is located in a more open space with higher chances of spotting wildlife. We missed a big chance to spot a cheetah at Nehimba even if we saw the tracks but we were lucky at Bomani where we saw 4 cheetahs in one day. Diana also took care of our request to see wild dogs so she informed Nehimba Lodge to have a stop at Painted Dog Conservation Center before boarding The Elephant Express from Dete station. The Elephant Express is another unique experience that you should try if you are in Hwange which is one of the most peaceful parks with few tourists comparable with Kruger, Serengeti or Masai Mara. We had a wonderful safari and we would like to thank all the team and especially Diana for making our dream come true. They also have organized our stay at Vic Falls and Zanzibar beach holiday and we highly recommend them.
