Great cultural and wildlife experiences！
We traveled to Kenya as a family of 4 in August, weather was perfect and cool in evening. We had a great guide in Martha who helped make the trip fantastic. This was an amazing trip with great cultural and wildlife experiences. Also the food and accommodation were so much better than the basic label would suggest, highlights would be the Masai Mara game drive and getting to know the Masai people.

Amazing! Going back as soon as possible
From the moment Fanuel picked us up at the airport we had the impression we had booked a superior safari guide. About 6 hours later and through the following day we had the very unique opportunity to be able to confirm this...
We were about an hour out from our camp at the Selous: bridge under water, road blocked by a cement truck. It was a matter of minutes before we were onboard a canoe on our way to another safari car which Fanuel hired out on the other side. Against all odds, we still made it to our boat safari that evening! Fanuel + his awesome truck, didn't. But he made sure to set us up with someone else for our full day game drive the next day - all perfectly coordinated right from his truck/the bridge. This, we thought, was the greatest advantage of having booked a guy that is his own boss and knows the whole town.
Well, turns out, when you get lost off-roading in the Selous then stuck in a mongoose hole for the greater part of a day, you realize there are several other advantages to booking with Breakdown Safari.
1- not all Safari cars are built the same - Fanuel's car, which he gets serviced after every safari, was significantly more comfy than the other car (leg room is amazing).
2- nothing stands between Fanuel and you having the vacation of a lifetime - he is extremely resourceful.
3- this guy is a pro at handling all things "breakdown".
Luckly Fanuel was able to get across the bridge so he could come to our rescue! From the moment he pulled us out of that hole and we rushed to see a lion show beyond our wildest dreams, and until the end of our trip 10 days later, we were incredibly happy with our choice of safari company! We can't wait until we are back for our next adventure :)

The Best One
Truly AMAZING Company. We spend time with our driver/guide Solomon aka "animal whisperer"(just ask him for any animal and if you're lucky enough he'll find it in couple of minutes) they're were awesome, answered all our questions, gave us the best safari experience we could wish for. PURELY INCREDIBLE. DEFINITELY WOULD RECOMMEND this company if you're looking for amazing, authentic experience and wishing to have an unforgettable safari and long lasting memories!
Once again we would like to thank Mr. le and of course the best driver and guide Solomon, for taking care of us throughout our Safari , and giving us such an INCREDIBLE experience and more. We could not be happier!

Most amazing time！
I had the most amazing time with Sino Africa Safaris and Francis was an awesome guide. We saw all of the animals and managed to get some absolutely amazing pictures. Spent such a great time travelling around the Maasai Mara. I would highly recommend doing the safari with Sino Africa Safaris.

Kenya is beautiful and offers More
I took the Kenya safari with my 2 boys of 11 and 14 - ideal ages for this trip. The days are full of variation and fun - but I expect young kids to struggle. Kenya is beautiful and offers more than what we were hoping for, but the best feature of this trip was our crew (impressive driver, excellent cook and fantastic leader) - we will miss them!

Great safari and at a very reasonable price！
My husband and I went on a 6 day safari. Being peak period, the tour operators were charging an extortionate amount for a 2 week Kenya holiday with a safari and beach break. I decided to put the entire package together myself and successfully booked it for 1/2 the price.
I found Sino Africa safaris online
I dealt with Fredrick via e-mail. He replied promptly, and the cost was very competitive compared to other safari companies I had been recommended.
The safari I saw on their web link was a 6 day safari, with budget tented accommodation, so I asked for upgrades to mid-range, which they did for me and were still cheaper than the other companies.
I stayed in the accommodation I paid for which was exceptionally good. We saw all the 'Big 5' and much more. No complaints and would recommend them to other customers.

Awesome 12 days Safari in Kenya & Tanzania
The star of the company is definitely Mr. Le. Fantastic organization and very responsive. I joined a 12 days group joining safari as a solo traveler.
I spent the first 7 days in Kenya with Sammy who is a great driver and a knowledgeable guide. The national parks were awesome, especially hell's gate national park where we cycled in the park among the animals. Food is pretty decent but not much option available. Do prepare yourself for long drives as the roads close to the national parks are usually not paved and the distance between the parks is long.
Next 5 days were spent in Tanzania with the tour operator, 7 wonders. Serengeti and ngorongoro crater were amazing. Lots of wildebeest and zebras in serengeti in December as they have moved from Masai Mara. Lake manyara was a little disappointing as the one of the road was closed due to rainy season. I would suggest to spend more time in serengeti. As I was a solo traveler, I was placed into a different group on the last day.
Accommodation was either lodge or hotel in Kenya. I slept in tents in Tanzania at campsite which had hot showers.
Crossing the border is pretty easy but the queue can be long. Be prepared to change and wait for buses. And make sure you check with the tour operators on the transportation arrangement 1 to 2 days earlier. There was some confusion on my return trip to Kenya from Tanzania but it was handled very well by Mr. Le on a very short notice.
Mr.Le is a trustworthy man and operator. He was very professional. I appreciate his help greatly. =)

Professional guide and wonderful experience
Communication was fast and easy. I had exact information and very good service.
We visited Selou game reserve and Mikumi national park. They were very different from each other: in Mikumi there was savanna and in Selou it was more forest and brushwood. Our guide called was Hassan and he was polite, nice and knew a lot about animals and nature and what is the most important: he respected animals and the beautiful nature around us.
I recommend Smile with us tours!

Kenya Family Safari
We have been so blessed to travel with Sino Africa Safari on a safari to Kenya. The trip was organized so well and the staff were friendly, encouraging, informative and caring we had so many wonderful experiences and met some amazingly inspirational people in the communities we visited. The whole trip was organized very well, we felt safe and we were given many opportunities to converse with and experience firsthand so many aspects of life in Africa. Cannot speak highly enough of our tour guides and Sino Africa.
