Great safari experience with a great team
I did a 5-day safari and rallye enjoyed the trip. Our guide Dixon was very skilled, funny and kind. And also the rest of the Team, the cook, the staff at the hostel (night before and after the tour is included!) made us feel very welcome.
If you are travelling on a budget, I can only recommend Nelson and his great team.
Incredible value for money!

Serious, responsible, executive.
Upon arrival in Nairobi, we were met by a company representative and our tour began.
Transfer to the hotel. The next morning we were met by our guide and we went to the Masai Mara reserve.
The tour guide was excellent. He tried to show us interesting places, made stops for photo sessions, thanks to which we got a huge number of excellent photos from a very interesting angle.
Visit to the Maasai village. We were impressed by the Maasai culture.
Trips to many interesting places. Visiting the place where animals cross the Mara River during the annual animal migration. Visit to the Crescent Island game reserve on Lake Naivashi, where the film The Lion King was filmed.
Visit Amboseli and Tsavo parks. In Tsavo there was a stop at a campsite overlooking Mount Kilimanjaro. Visit Mzima springs, where underground waters from Mount Kilimanjaro form a wonderful lake. Transfer to Mombasa with a stop at the hotel. This was the final stop before the end of the journey with a stop at the papillon lagut beach hotel.
About the latter, I would like to note that not at all shy monkeys live there. So one of the inhabitants begged for a piece of coconut, but having eaten it and not being satisfied, she took away the whole nut and proudly climbed onto a palm tree where she ate it.
Our trip was as described. The company did everything to make our trip comfortable and safe. Our stops were in places saturated with a special African flavor, not devoid of amenities. Kenyans are very friendly.
My rating is 5 out of 5.

It was such a pleasure working with Mariano and his team at New World Safaris on our South African Honeymoon. Throughout the entire process, they were consistently gracious, accommodating, beyond thorough, and made things happen SO FAST for us. After a couple of preliminary calls / emails to discuss what we were hoping to accomplish on the trip, Mariano's team put together the most beautiful and thorough itinerary package perfectly tailored for us. Every single detail of our trip had been thoughtfully accounted for. As soon as we arrived in South Africa, Mariano had a member of team to meet us and greet us at the airport and immediately put us at ease. From that point on, we realized that The New World Safari team would literally be handling every detail of coordination the entire trip and we wouldn't need to lift a finger. For those of you who aren't able to get away on vacation that often and really want to not worry about A SINGLE THING, this was the most relaxing trip we have EVER had for that reason. They really made us feel like VIP's and allowed us to completely unwind. I would also like to mention.... about halfway through our 24 day trip, my husband and I decided to COMPLETELY change the itinerary for the remainder of our trip. We called Mariano on a Saturday night (who had consistently made himself available at all hours of the day via phone call / WhatsApp) and asked him to reconfigure our entire trip. We know how much work it would take to change hotels, flights, etc., but Mariano and his team had everything changed and rearranged for us within a few hours. His team handled this curveball with absolute grace. We were in constant communication with them with daily questions (where can we get COVID tests? Can we push our dinner reservation an hour? Can you recommend somewhere we can get a good steak?) and no matter how complex the question / task, New World Safaris would always get back to us SO quickly and go above and beyond to make things seamless for us. They really made it all appear to effortless. We were so blown away with the level of customer service we're already brainstorming our next trip with them. This entire experience will definitely make it hard to ever plan travel ourselves...!

Benson was very knowledgeable and knew the tricks to find all the animals of our interest!
We were a family of four. Benson was so patient with us and the needs of our little ones. He maintained a very calm demeanor whenever the kids asked that we stop for something.
Benson was also very helpful with helping us know the history of most geographic areas that we passed through on our way to our safaris.
Spent two nights in Naivasha and three nights at Maasai Mara National Reserve in Kenya. The experience was one of the best times of our lives. We were able to see most of the wild animals; from Lions in what Benson hilariously called “harusi” in Swahili or wedding lol. But it was their mating date which was such an experience.
Benson was also able to crisscross the Mara reserve and skillfully identify a group of cheetahs that he; for a fact, predicted that they were grouping for an attack to hunt down a wildebeest. He radiod the rest of the guides and they all rushed there to witness the hunt which was one heck of an experience seeing them kill a giant wildebeest.
We took some of the best photos of our vacationing life. Benson was also very helpful in educating us on how most of the animals in the wild cohabit and their survival skills.
It was a safari to remember with Into Adventure Safaris.

Touroperator with a personal approach combined with, flexibility, experience and knowledge!
We went on a 3-day safaritrip to Tarangire N.P., Lake Mayara N.P. and the Ngorongorocrater. It was just an amazing experience! We had a good English speaking driverguide telling us a lot about the wildlife. We stayed in a nice accommodation with a spacious room, good facilities and food. Good value for money! If we have an opportunity to go again, we certainly will book our safari at Sunset Adventure Safari!

We had an excellent Safari organised by Mr. Bernard, and visited Tagarire, Serengeti, Maranya Lake and Arusha National Park. Moreover we tried to climb Kilimanjaro.

Highly recommanded, this tour operator!

It was an awesome trip
I was told by my friend that I should visit Uganda, the Pearl of Africa but I was reluctant at first until one day I decided to go for my vacation in Uganda and I can say that it was worth it. Thanks to Kubwa Five Safaris for planning my vacation and made it really wonderful as I got the chance to explore beautiful things found in Uganda. The amazing Murchison Falls found in most scenic national park, mountain gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest and other primates such as chimpanzees.
Trekking the Mountain Gorillas was an activity out of this world.
The meals were great and hospitality in hotels was excellent.
I recommend this company to anyone planning for a vacation in Uganda.
GORILLA TREKKING TOUR
We booked the 3 day gorilla trekking tour. It was an awesome once in a lifetime experience
Fred, the director of the company was hands on , efficient and catered for all our needs.
Highly recommend this company for the gorilla trekking tour

Unparalleled Expertise, Dedication To Service, And The Trip of Our Dreams
I am an independent traveler and always love having a trip to plan. When my mom and I decided to make our dream of an African safari a reality, I tried piece the trip together myself, but I was quickly overwhelmed. A chance encounter with Rose and her team, when inquiring about a certain safari camp, only confirmed that I was in need of expert assistance. Rose carefully listened to what we wanted from our trip and gently guided us to safari camps that were perfectly suited to our needs. She was with us every step of the way, from the initial planning process, to immediately answering our many questions leading up to and during our trip, to somehow scheduling (and paying for!) last second COVID testing for us at our lodge in the Serengeti when Kenya changed its entry requirements. Our trip was almost two years in the making and our experiences at the three safari camps we visited in the Serengeti, the Mara, and the Samburu will stay with us for a lifetime. While each camp was different, they all shared a common thread: warm hospitality, jaw-dropping landscapes, lovely accommodations, delicious meals (both at camp and in the bush) and amazingly knowledgeable guides who were all dedicated to showing us a wide variety of wildlife. I will never forget our guide in the Samburu, who knew I wanted to see the illusive leopard before our departure. On our last game drive, I watched with fascination as he drove for almost an hour while tracking paw prints and listening to the alarm calls of the birds and the other animals in the area. Suddenly, he stopped and pointed. There was a gorgeous female leopard sleeping under a tree. While pointing at the leopard he proclaimed, "you never give up on the bush."
Africa stole a large piece of our hearts, and left us longing for more. if we ever have the opportunity to return, there isn't anyone else I would use to help me plan another safari.
