Trip Of A Lifetime
Just in case a Safari is on your bucket list:
All of the tour/Safari companies (and there are LOTS!) have their company name emblazoned on the side of their vehicles. There are so many different safari/tour companies I lost track as the Toyota Land Cruisers that they drive (99.99% of all vehicles were Land Cruisers) zig zag across the Masai Mara and Serengeti.
Personal testimony:
I can't say enough good things about our company, keronsafarisandhotels.com. I went with them on the recommendation of a Kenyan friend in San Diego and the service was amazing. All of the details of our trip were perfectly handled from the moment we walked out of the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi at 3:00 am on that first morning. What a relief it was to see our name on the sign held up by our driver and that an early check-in had been arranged at the wonderful "Tamarind Tree Hotel", just as I had requested.
Our guide, "Venant", the boyhood friend of my San Diego Kenya friend is a second generation guide (his dad was also on Safari at the same time) and was soooo knowledgeable about the animals and environment. Venant took care of each and every detail of our adventure.
Highly recommend

Incredibly knowledgeable and trustworthy -- book now!
I can't recommend Kaiser highly enough. Our family of five took his safari through Chobe National Park and the Okavango Delta. He spotted hundreds of animals and gave us great insight about each of them -- I came to see the animals as complex and intelligent and left Botswana with a desire to be more environmentally conscious.
Several times we remarked that we had the best guide in the park (when comparing Kaiser's spotting skills and ability to position our jeep in prime viewing location to other guides we encountered). The trip was priceless and one we will treasure for the rest of our lives. Thank you Kaiser!

An incredible and unforgettable experience
We had such a brilliant time. First of all our guide Zadlon Sunday, was the most amazing guide who showed he absolutely loved his job and the animals we were looking for. Every day we would wake up, have some breakfast and then make the journey to the next park. He was always ontime, always keen and so kind and happy. On the safaris themselves he would always be on the look out for animals making sure we could see as much as we could. Also if there were certain animals he would always ask whether we wanted to stay longer or go and keep looking for other animals. Thank you for the best honeymoon. The manager of the company met us before to run through everything and then again after the trip to check everything had gone well and that we were happy with the hotels, service and safari. Thank you!

Amazing
I visited Uganda in June 2022 to compete in Body building competition earlier this year. But after the competition, I wanted to do community outreach and also get to see the beautiful country i was reading about online.
The city setting is not so great, because of the heavy traffic jam and insane motorcycles locally known as bodaboda, it was hectic but rewarding to navigate. I did connect with Zootopia Game Drives safaris through a recommendation from a friend who used their services before.
I reached out to Ronnie the managing Director and he indeed was helpful In organizing my 6 days trip through murchison falls,kibale,queen Elizabeth and bwindi for the Gorillas.
I was so much amazed by the natural beauty of western Uganda and friendliness of the locals. Uganda is indeed the pearl of Africa.
The hotels were budget but clean and the guide Elvis was well knowledgeable and quick to accommodate my questions and requests.
I would do this trip over and over with ZootopiaGameDrives as my choice for an operator

An Unforgettable well organised Maasai Mara Safari Adventure
I recently had the incredible opportunity to embark on a safari adventure in Kenya's Maasai Mara, and I must say it was an absolutely fantastic experience.
The guides on our safari were truly outstanding. Their deep knowledge of the Maasai Mara's wildlife and ecosystems was impressive, and they shared their insights with enthusiasm. We felt safe and well-informed throughout our journey, and their passion for conservation was evident. Their ability to answer questions and provide context to our sightings added a valuable layer to our safari experience.
The tour operator, Trip Advisor Africa Safaris, we opted for our Maasai Mara safari truly exceeded our expectations. Their commitment to delivering a great experience was evident in every aspect of our trip. From the initial planning stages to our departure, they worked diligently to tailor our safari to our preferences. They attentively listened to our requests and made considerable efforts to accommodate them, leaving us genuinely impressed with the quality of their service.

Highly recommend without any doubt
We're thrilled to share our review of an incredible trip to Tanzania!
Despite booking this safari last minutes, our operator expertly arranged everything.
We explored Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Tarangire, spotting the entire Big five and staying in fantastic lodges and camps.
We highly recommend this operator for yourAfrican Adventure.

Awesome holiday in every detail
We had an amazing trip to Botswana and Zimbabwe. Clyde's in depth knowledge and suggestions of camps to visit proved to be absolutely spot on, Shinde and Kwando Lagoon were exactly on the brief of what we were hoping to experience - amazing animal sightings with a good variety of landscapes all within wonderful camps. All logistics of the trip worked seamlessly.
It's not always visible the effort that goes in behind the scenes, however we came to find out that Clyde had been speaking to the lodges to ensure we had the tents best positioned for our needs, we really appreciated that care for us. Added to this the regular check-ins and availability during the trip were reassuring, even though not needed given how smoothly everything went. A holiday of a lifetime we'll never forget..

Hacuna Matata (No worries) It is a WOW!
From the moment of a timely pick up- to the first safari 1 hour after arrival - we felt well cared for - perfectly scheduled- well fed - with guides who truly wanted to show us their bush and the creatures who live within! The guides can find the animals! (and talk to each other about where the animals are) The BBQ in the Bush (Braai) is unbelievable - the sunrise and sunset rides are gorgeous! Two nights we had wine/beer while we watched the orange/red sunset and hippos came out of the river! Rye (Naraya) manages with kindness and an eye for detail (each of us have our own program) - Luke is a master of the bush walk - Smiley Ha la la - Hacuna matata was our driver for most of our rides and he is all heart, kindness, sunshine and professional guide! Rocky can find the leopards in the trees and did his best to find that lion roaring in the dark! Spooky! Mama Dee makes food that is plentiful, tasty but not too spicy, and the baked goods! It is not fancy but has heart!!
Appeals to singles, couples, families - Busy 6 days of safari and the lodge was perfect! We settled in and watched animals join us (across the fence) for meals!
