Amazing trip with everything planned brilliantly by the most helpful people
We had an absolutely amazing time on safari at Fairmont Mara thanks to Jong for arranging it all so brilliantly for us. Everything went so smoothly with all queries answered immediately and helpfully. Nothing was too much trouble, including looking after our extra luggage while we went on safari, and every suggestion was aimed at making sure we had the best experience possible.
From the moment we were picked up from our hotel by Richard and taken to the airport for our small flight from Nairobi we were looked after so well and after a comfortable flight where we were the only passengers, we arrived at the Masai airstrip and were met by our guide Samson to be taken to the camp. He was our guide for the whole trip which was perfect.
From the moment he met us he was fantastic - pointing out things to see, giving so much information about the area and animals and making sure we had as much time as we wanted at each stop. The safari was amazing and we saw so much - only missing a leopard! He listened to what we were interested in and made sure we saw so much, the pregnant cheetah, lions and cubs, elephants and so many other wonderful creatures we could not believe how lucky we were. We have so many special memories and brilliant pictures to remember it all by and cannot thank Samson enough for being the best guide ever.
The camp was amazing, so luxurious with the most comfortable tents and fabulous views - we loved sitting by the river watching the hippos. The staff were excellent with nothing being too much trouble and the food was amazing with so much choice at every meal.
We have already told all of our friend and family they must go and we would love to return and experience it all again!

Bestday Safaris… best possible choice for safari!
We chose Bestday Safaris for our five day safari in Tanzania, through Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater and we couldn't have made a better choice!
Really competitive price and impeccable organization during all five days. A special mention for our guide and driver Emmanuel: always very kind, expert and safe while driving (which is not secondary on difficult roads), very skilled in spotting animals and always ready to answer our curiosities. We stayed at the Octagon Lodge in Karatu and at the Shuhudia Adventure Camp (the latter right inside the Serengeti) and found two facilities of the highest standard with excellent staff. For your Safari you don't have to choose Bestday, they are a guarantee!

Incredible
An absolutely unforgettable experience, worth every penny. Our guide Ezeikel was calm, friendly and informative. The overall vibe of the group was great, which is important given I was travelling solo. And of course seeing all the different animals was unbelievable. 5 days was the perfect length as we got to experience a range of different parks and spot all of the big 5! The accomodation was also unbelievable and felt definitely like luxury to me - not mid range which I booked. Thankyou so much Suricata!

Amazing
We just came back from our Safari in Tanzania (Lake Manyara - Serengeti - Ngorongoro).This company is really recommended by us because of the very high quality of service they provide. Our guide, Maulid, was exceptionally great - he can spot any hidden animal miles away while driving. He takes incredibly good pictures, he's an excellent driver, and he's very experienced. He knows everything about animals, history, african culture... on top of this, he really enjoys his job and does it with great enthusiasm, making you feel he's not just a guide driving you around but a true friend enjoying his time with you. We will book a safari again with Hekima Safaris, and we recommend you to do the same!

Great safari experience: Masai Mara, Nakuru, Amboseli, Tsavo West, Tsavo East.
Pre-travel assistance very kind and timely by the owner Simon M., on all our requests.
The overall safari schedule was full and well respected for the main attractions. Budget accommodations and camps carefully chosen with Simon and aligned to our expectations. Surprise upgrade on the last lodge very much appreciated!
As a possible point of improvement we'd suggest a better accuracy in the written details of the daily plan and documents provided, as some typos and copy-paste from other schedules were misleading for us in terms of lenght of the transfer travels between the different locations, some activities/stops described along the itinerary were just not possible to fit the schedule in terms of time, so it is advisable not to even mention them.
For the time schedule we therefore trusted completely in our guide Simon K. who is extremely professional and knowledgeable on animals and routes. He is also a very good driver and thanks to his experience and knowledge we were able to spot so many animals, several lions and a leopard on a tree in Nakuru. Thank you Simon & Simon for the unforgettable experience!

The journey of life
As we stated in the title. This was the best trip of our lives so far. Darren and all the co-workers were fantastic. Every wish of ours was fulfilled and organized and carried out down to the smallest detail. Darren's every suggestion if we weren't sure what to choose from excursions or other events was a hit. During our trip, we visited many places and countries: Doha, Zimbabwe, Zambia, South Africa, Mauritius, and in each country we were greeted by a fantastic guide who went through the entire itinerary with us. The accommodation units were excellent, the entire staff and the food. Everything was really perfect. I wholeheartedly recommend cooperation with Daren and his associates and we will definitely continue to travel with their organization.
