Excellent service!
We went for a tour 3 days Maasai Mara and our driver was George. The whole experience was amazing from the beginning. Perminus was great, always responding emails or messages immediately, the place that we stayed was beautiful and all the staff were very helpful and friendly. George was great, he made sure we enjoy the Safari experience, we saw many lions, elephants, Tsavo Cat, buffalo’s and many more! I highly recommend this tour company! Thank you Perminus and George, we will definitely come back next season.

Benson was amazing at answering all my questions and getting back to me in a timely manner.
I booked this safari last minute. And as this was my first safari, I felt I wasn’t sure I knew what I was doing. Benson was amazing from start to finish. He answered all my questions right away.
The Safari was exceptional, it was so much better than I had expected. The accommodations and food were top notch.
And our driver & guide Anthony was phenomenal. He was very helpful and informative. He seemed to know exactly where to go to see the wildlife. And he was very professional.
It was so satisfying to end the safari feeling it was so much better than I had expected.

An amazing Safari experience with TripQuest
TripQuest was one of 3 tour operators we chose for our Safari tour with 12 friends. For 8 months, we have had several communications with Martin to discuss our itinerary, our choice of accommodation etc... which Martin had all agreed with. The tour started in Kenya and then moved to Tanzania. From day one we were so excited to meet our Kenyan guides who gave us to city tour then a day later, drove us in the first game drive to see the wild animals. Only when we crossed the border to Tanzania, our group together with our Tanzanian guides started a series of game drives that were unforgettable. Not only our group had a great time in the Safari with the knowledgeable, dedicated and fun drivers/guides, we had also cheerful moments being together in the Land Cruiser and in the restaurants for breakfast and dinner during our 16 day trip. Our guide David was exceptional in his joyful behaviour and helpful communications with other guides to locate the animals. Both guides were so accommodating and easy to be with. We also found the camps and lodges during our trip were so comfortable. Truly, Thanks to TripQuest for this unforgettable Safari experience.

The perfect private safari
Just a word: WOW.
We were searching for an "once in a lifetime" experience and we found it with Estleon Adventures. Our idea was to spend a week visiting the major parks and we have found the 7-Day Magical Kenya Luxury Safari. Right from the first contact via e-mail, the impression was very positive, with a clear description of the activities written in the offer sent directly by the owner (Esther).
The communication, including answers to thousands of questions :), has been really smooth and Esther has been really supportive, organizing everything for us, including the first night at the Nairobi Airport and the Hot air balloon experience over the Masai Mara.
The only point that maybe is not clear from the information is that this is truly a private safari, with a private Jeep and a private guide/driver. The guide will drive the jeep for all the 7 days explaining a lot of interesting facts (no spoiler... you have to discover them!) during the game drives, but also during the long transfers between the various stages of the journey. All the various game drives are flexible and tailored to your requests. Ben, our guide, had been fantastic, very prepared and professional, but also a friend, quickly becoming part of the family. With him guiding us thru the savannah, we saw all big 5, not to mention hippos, crocodiles (and lions) eating zebras, baby oysters, baby lions, baby warthog, giraffes, baby cheetahs etc etc...
The camps/hotels definitely live up to the definition of luxury, even if for a couple of them the beverages are not included during the meal and have to be paid extra, including the water... that I found a bit non sense since you have it complimentary in the room...
The payment has been done with an international bank transfer in USD, so no problem at all.
In conclusion, Esther and her team are definitely trustworthy and I can only recommend them for an unforgettable experience.

My family and I had an amazing safari trip in Tanzania for 20 days, starting in Arusha and ending in Moshi with a magnificent view of Mt Kilimanjaro to finish the holiday off.
We did 6 national parks and 18 game drives with our expert driver, Stewart from Kilislopes Safari & Tours. We saw leopard, cheetah, servile, lots of lions and all of the rest of the wonderful animals and many birds. The trip was everything we dreamed of. The bush camps were outstanding and the lodges beautiful. One won't be disappointed visiting Tanzania with so much to offer.

Perfect preparation, memorable experience, top communication
We enjoyed a great day at Arusha NP all because of Pukka Adventures. Good value for money, perfect communication including a detailed custom made program description for the day. This tour operator listens to all your requests and turns them into reality. Excellent guide, driver, customized lunch, 4x4 Landcruiser vehicle and of course the memorable experience of seeing all the animals by game drive in Arusha NP, hike with the ranger and visit the Fig Tree Arch.
Pukka Adventures delivers, they care for their customers in every detail. Can easily recommend this reliable tour operator to everyone.

The most incredible safari ever!
We had the best time with the safari package that we booked through this agency. Our guide was so knowledgeable and even grew up in the Mara! The accommodations were great and comfortable. This is my second time in africa doing a safari and this is by far the best one ever. Even the local people were astounded with what we saw. The guide took us right in the middle of 2 kills! It was incredible! We even got to see a leopard twice! We enjoyed every minute of this safari. They set the bar quite high for any future safaris.

The trip i took with buyaga safaris was just outstanding. Peter as a guide is so fun to have around and he really does everything he can to make your experience the best it could get. From the selection of the lodges to the trips we did make there was never anything that was not perfect. Thank you very much for the grest time you did provide!
