Awesome
Fantastic company. Tony is a true Gent. A great guy and he and his team go the extra mile. We were with two small kids who still talk about it now. I honestly can't recommend these guys highly enough.

I had wonderful Kenyan Safari experience which was very well organised and planned by Gofan Safaris.
I went to Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha and Aberdares in November 2018.This was my second Safari experience with Gofan Safaris. I was very much impressed and happy with services provided by them from very first time when I toured Amboseli national park. I decided the same day that when ever I will plan for next Safari I will plan with Gofan Safaris only. Their planning and organizing for entire tour is very good. Their staff is very cooperative and make sure that your entire tour will become memorable one. They provide you proper guidance throughout the tour. They are always at your support during the tour. I am happy to share this experience and recommend them.

WORTHY
It was a very good experience and pretty good deal. Normal price and fair package. The driver was really professional, informed, funny and sweet. Always on time and quite flexible. Except some funny experience during the journey from a side to the other due to office work stops! I would recommend it :)

Incredible experience for a reasonable price
It was a very nice tour. The guide, James, was very friendly and passionate. The accomodation was okay.

Absolutely great guide and driver, very engaging when needed and great with kids
Mike really made us feel at home in Kenya. Although I traveled many times to Kenya for work, this time I went on holiday with my wife and two sons (6 and 8). Mike, always smiling, made a suitable itinerary and was mindful of what we needed as a family. The driver (Alex) was also great and had some superb stories about the animals we encountered.
Definitely recommend Mike for (family) safari trips!

Excellent Safari!
We had 8 days camping safari on low season.
Geoffrey, the organizer, answered very fast and everything was organized very well.
Our driver Simon was a good driver, had a lot of experience and took us to places where I thought we saw more than an average safari tourist. I counted that we saw about 60 lions, 6 cheetahs, 2 leopards, and 2 rhinos.
The food was fresh and excellent, thanks to Richard.
Equipment was good and camping with the wild animals was very exciting.
I have to say that camping is camping, not the five-star hotel so don't expect that.
I also saw that all safari organizers are not very good ones and we were very happy with ours.
Special thanks, our recommendation, and greetings to Simon the Driver!

Amazing safari organisers
We are just from a massive road trip to Tsavo East, Watamu and Marafa Hells Kitchen with buffalo wildlife safaris and they are a awesome team. Planning an adventurous trip to anywhere in Kenya. Ask Juma and his team. They will make it happen.

best guide ever: Alladin, best car too: cooling compartment for food and drinks + a powerbank
We were very well informed in advance about what to expect in different travel periods, national parks and accomodation. Ben the "manager" was also very flexible in changing accomodation on our demand. He also took care of the inland flights. We could not find all of them at the internet ourselves but he could still book them.(Zanzibar-Arusha) We did not aim for the greatest numbers of lions and elephants but wanted to experience nature at its best. The proposed trip to Tarangire, Lake Manyara and the Ngorongoro Crater fitted us very well. Tarangire being not as flat as the Serengeti but hilly and dotted with trees of which the baobab trees stood out was outstanding. Not only the landscape but also the numbers of animals and the variety: not did we only see hundreds of elephants a dozen of lions, lots of wildebeast,zebra,giraffe,gazelle,buffalo and impala but also eland, reedbuck, bat-eared fox, jackel, banded mangoest, common mangoest, small mangoest, rock hyrax,dik dik, waterbuck, brown parrot, ostrich,lapped faced vultute, hooded vulture, saddle billed stork, marabou,martial eagle,long-crested eagle,goshawk,tawny eagle, bare-faced go-away-bird, white browed coucal,hornbills,rollers,starlings,barbets, spurfowls,francolins, chestnut-bellied kingfisher and even more. Our guide Alladin made us feel very comfortable/at ease. An outstanding friendly and knowledgable person. Not only professional but also human. We stayed for two nights in a simple but pleasant "bungalow" from wich we could overvieuw the tarangire landscape including the river( tarangire river camp ?). We saw three lions sleeping in a tree right in front of the accomadation ( at +/- 100 meter)
From the bathroom we saw impala, warthhog and dik dik. How enchanting. Alladin told us we were lucky to be just at the end of the dry season(all animal need to visit the river for water) and exploring tarangire during three days( 1 + 2 x 1/2)( instead of 1) gave us the opportunity to see more of the park and the animals than day visitors. Lake Manyara although small was complementary with its dense forrest, wet land and (salt)lake. It provided us with new impressions an vieuwings of new species: bleu monkey, silvery-cheeked hornbill ( thanks to Alladin: he spotted all of them where we failed to spot them ourselves) black heron, african spoonbill, hammerhead,jacana,black crake, yellow billed stork,hadada ibis,sacred ibis,little egret, great white egret and more. It was the wrong season for lake manyara but we would not have liked to skip it. It is very charming in its own way.We stayed near the ngorongoro crater and Alladin was eager to leave before sunrise to be able to show us some rhino and he did. We saw three of them among which a young. We also saw heyena chasing wildebeast and three kori bustards, a pelican, grey crowned cranes, hippos and more. Ngorongoro crater provided us with new sightings but was not green at all ( at the end of october)
Maybe we were so spoiled by the other parks especially tarangire that we lacked to see the full beauty of the crater.
According to us ( three times on safari) you do not need to spend more than 3 to 5 days on safari to be completely satisfied.Next day we stayed at planet lodge in Arusha. Alladin drove us to the airport in the morning.
We really would like to recommend e trip africa if you want a relaxed and convenient safari and you might be so lucky to meet the best guide ever; Alladin.

Great safari trip for a short visit to Kenya
Had a good trip with Hyrax enjoying a 4-day tour including numerous game drives. The accommodation, activities, driver/guide, and overall management of the tour were definitely living up to the promise. Would recommend to book this tour if you have a few days in Kenya!
