Awesome family trip safari+lake house
Danson was a great guide! We were a group of 5. My dad was quite impressed the moment he was picked up from the airport by this beautiful safari car! It was very comfortable ride and we shortly arrived at the lake house we rented by lake Naivasha. Danson was really communicative and arranged us great accommodations in Masaai Mara. I had been to the park for a few times and I have to admit that riding a great vehicle really made a significant difference. Danson was trying his best to make the trip to its fullest. We were able to see everything besides the rhino. We enjoyed being the first ones who spotted the cheetah and lions and we were able to use radio and share the news to others. I would like to passionately recommend this service to everyone who's visiting Kenya.

We had a great safari in Tanzania with geoDiscovery
We took a three day - two night safari of Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater, and Tarangire National Park with geoDiscovery in October 2021 and it was great. Well planned out and good communication. They arranged the guide (Dominique), he was great and made all overnight arrangements. We changed plans a couple days before arriving and they (geoDiscovery) were very accommodating We had no problems at all, loved the experience we had.

No professionalism
The points given are only for the itinerary. I thoroughly enjoyed the activities planned and the company of fellow travellers who organised themselves and kept themselves in high spirits throughout the trip. The management team lacked the basics of professionalism organisation and customer care. Their ability to handle crisis situations was abysmal given how many obstacles we faced. No mention of complimentary anything or compensation for things going wrong. As a first time client, I was greatly disappointed. I would try them again in a few years when they are more focused and organised because I believe they have great potential.

The US team and the Tanzania team were equally wonderful!
Traveling during a worldwide pandemic is never easy. E-Trip Africa made sure we were able to get the appropriate COVID tests at the appropriate times. I never imagined it was possible to get COVID tested in the middle of the Serengeti so that I could make my flight on time! Ben in the US was always available to answer our pre-trip questions and made us feel at ease about traveling during uncertain times. Eliamini was our guide in Tanzania and he always managed to point out something that we would've never seen on our own. He was an amazing safari guide and we thoroughly enjoyed our time with him. We chose the mid-range accommodations and were very happy with them. The staff and service at all accommodations was great. I highly recommend E-Trip Africa and I will definitely use them again myself.

Incredible guide, magical experience
We were recommended Wickliffe as a guide by a friend and couldn't be happier with the experience! When we first contacted him we didn't really know where we wanted to go or what we wanted to see, but Wickliffe had some helpful suggestions and put together a great itinerary for us. Our 3 days in the Masai Mara were unforgettable, and this was largely down to Wickliffe's friendly personality and endless knowledge of the animals, birds and general ecosystem of the Mara. His approach was very authentic and his care and respect for the animals really shines through.
We would 100% recommend Game Whisperers Adventures for anyone looking to do a safari in Kenya!

Awesome Experience
From the first contact the services provided by Lappet Faced Safaris were of top level. More, the safari was exactly tailored for our specific interests and the atmosphere was very friendly, caring and attentive. Wonderful lodges, a good and trustable 4WD car and a very capable and informed driver. All together, a very particular and rewarding experience!, Thanks Francisco for the tailor made tour of our lifetime and wonderful team

One of the most memorable trips I've ever had!
It was a great pleasure meeting Emanuel. He is attentive, thorough, and made sure our trip was fantastic and smooth from beginning to end. His prices are fair and transparent, the quality of the safari was top-notch, and he helped with various travel details, such as arranging COVID tests to return back to the USA. Highly recommend!

Discovering the savannah
We had Lewis as our guide and driver (as good as Lewis Hamilton at driving) he was great and managed to find the lions and elephants for us. The food was excellent thanks to a chef who accompanied us throughout the stay. Once in a lifetime trip.

Best tour operator in Africa
Andre was my Personal Journey Designer. I only had one day in Nairobi and my trip was planned only two days before, yet Andre was able to help me design an unforgettable safari, dinner and souvenir trip. He even allowed me to combine a work trip to the hospital to visit a patient on the itinerary and was very generous in his costing and pricing. Our driver and guide was Franco who was always smiling and also helped guide us through our itinerary on the day itself. He helped us decide how much time to spend in each location to make the most out of our day.
Out of all the tour operators I contacted, only Spirit of Kenya has listed on its email it’s numerous awards and travelers choice commendations. They also reply very fast and efficiently. I would not go with other company when in Africa :)
Thank you Andre and Franco for an unforgettable experience :)

5 stars Honeymoon Safari
We had a fantastic safari experience thanks to Lillian and Zohar African Safari!
We organized our honeymoon, in October, with this agency and everything went well despite covid restrictions and last minute problems with our flight.
We opted for the 5 days safari and this gave us the opportunity to see all the big 5, together with countless lions, many cheetahs, leopards, lion cubs, elephants, hunting scenes....
Ahmed was our guide and he was G R E A T! He was a great company, fun, answered all our questions and spotted all the animals we wanted!
In addition to the safari, we also chose to spend one day in a coffee plantation and to visit Materuni waterfall. We had an amazing time preparing and drinking 100% arabic coffee under the Kilimangiaro.
We also spent the night in Lilian B&B, a nice apartment in Arusha, and she cooked for us a special dinner that made us feel super cuddled (best pilau eaten in Tanzania!) and a wonderful breakfast in the morning.
We were super happy about Zohar because:
- communication with Lilian was great and she was always friendly and helpful
- amazing support before and during our trip
- available all the time for any question/doubt
- we didn't have any issue during our trip
- the trip was “tailored” and not just a standard and pre-organised impersonal organisation
- Lilian organized a surprise dinner for our honeymoon when we were sleeping in Serengeti
- Ahmed, our guide was fantastic
- transport from and to the airport with Good Luck with no issues
- all the hotels chosen for our accomodation were very nice ( recommended to sleep in Lions Paw Camp by Karibu Camps & Lodges in Ngorongoro and Embalakai Camps for a full Serengeti experience)
If you want to go to Tanzania and have a fantastic trip with amazing people, we highly recommend Zohar African Safari :)
