Great private tour with the best guide in the world Stanley - ask Stanley ❤️
We had private safari for 4 days - in Lake Nakuru (1day) and Masai Mara (3 days). Pur guide Stanley was amazing - friendly, polite, open to fulfill all our wishes. I had birthday during private tour and he arranged as present for me desert from hotel staff which was amazing suprise. Our safari tour was made via our mood and wishes. I had some problems with my health and he helped me a lot - we visited hospital, we changed our tour schedule. But inspite of all our health problems it was amazing - we saw big 5 and many many animals - lion family, elephant family, giraffe family, hippos, rhinos, monkeys etc…. I really recommend you to have Stanley as guide and Jocky tours as guide operator. Only one remark to accomodation - in Masai Mara we had glass cottage almost at the end of hotel area and our accomodation was cold without any sun.

Safari must do !
We had a great time on the safari organized by Apodiformes adventures. Silas created a customized plan for us, having the right mix between safari and relaxing time in Mombasa. Our tour guide, Sebastian, was amazing ! Not only did he drive us during the tour through sometimes barely there paths, he also ensured to get us to see all the animals from close by (sometimes, we were the only ones there, contributing even more to the magic of the Safari). Additionally, he would always have the answers to our multiple questions and if he did not know, he would do his research and come back to us later.
The lodges were really comfy, the food there, delicious and varied. All in all, what we received for our customized tour, is what we got !
Last but not least, we took the option to do a hot air balloon tour on our first day in Masai Mara - this is a must do in our opinion !

Super! professional, and dedicated to the work
Firstly we were looking for 3-4 days tour, and sent more info request to some companies. Destiny explores had the fastest response.
They answered every questions so quick. So I decided to enjoy with them. One of my dreams of Safari is to see great migrations. They manage to do that, even offered changes to our itinerary. During Safari, our guide seemed having a lot of friends and exchanged latest info of appearance of animals. In conclusion, We saw the migration, as well as four of big five animals ( we didn’t see rhino, but there is very few rhinos at Serengeti), cheater hunting attempt, lion’s family gathering. I’m professional TV director back in my country Japan though this is my total holiday, I asked a lot to my guide to move our car back and forth to set my camera position, he managed to do that.
We stayed four accommodations, and all of them super. Last night, I stayed at Baobab Luxury camp, there is surrounded by bare nature, even hear the voice of animals very closely at night (24 hours security guard so it is safe) this was exciting experience.
One more good thing is clear instruction of tips. As a Japanese, we don’t have tips customs, I don’t get use to it. Our guide instructed at the first day, it is helpful.
It was great journey, and I think we are lucky enough to meet good guide.

Sir Charles is the best and most brilliant tour guide who showed us the animals from the best place
We loved it!We felt safe with our tour guide -Sir Charles-. He paid attention to everything, shared a lot of information with us about the animals. The tent accommodation was great! We would choose them again next time. Tito was our cook, the nicest person we have ever met.

Honeymoon Safari
We just got back from our 7 day safari for our honeymoon and had such a great time. Booking this trip was a very smooth process, and everything is customizable. The hot lunch provided were delicious and plentiful. The accommodations we selected were clean and as described online.
Our guide was Levis Lewis (Mmeruu). He has many years of experience and is very knowledgeable on everything Tanzania. He was a great driver, knows all the roads, and will get your there in the quickest and safest way possible. We had such a great time with him in the many hours we spent together. He was quick to spot animals from such a far distance, and because of this we were able to see so many of them including the big 5. On our transfer to Kenya, the main road leading to the boarder was closed, but Mmeruu got us to the right spot at the exact time we needed to be there. Thank you so much!

Awesome Experience - Thank you Samuel
Perfection, Attention to details. We were was greeted by a very friendly tour guide, Joe at 7 am. The vehicle was very comfortable and clean. We were given interesting information about the animals and topography throughout the day. Joe was tireless and committed the entire trip to finding compelling animals and situations. We saw the big five, ate well, and stayed at a Sopa Lodge in Maasai Mara. We were very fortunate to have chosen African Bush Cat, I would definitely recommend Samuel and the team. Asante Sana.

Wonderful Safari with Explorer Kenya
My wife and I travelled to Kenya and had an amazing experience with Explorer Kenya. The communication was very clear from the begining and our Safari went as smooth as possible. Sammy was our driver in Nairobi and went out of his way during our Nairobi tour to make sure we saw as much as possible.. We did 3 nights in Maasai Mara and Lake Navaisha and I can't say enough about our driver Martin. His knowledge of the area and the animals was first rate and he was always willing to accommodate our requests and even added in some bonus stops we were not expecting.
The whole experience was one we will never forget and a great value for the money paid.

Perfect Holiday
We have done several Trips over the last couple years with African Bush Cats and have always had an absolute amazing Experience. Just did the Mombasa in September, 2023 and the Driver/Guide James was fantastic. He knew that National Reserve Park and we got to see all the Big Five and then some. I'd definitely recommend African Bush Cats for your Safari.

Amazing experience but the toilets and ablutions at the entry gates were horrendous.
Been to this reserve a number of times but I must say my experience today left me disappointed. No pos machine at the main gate to pay by card . No pos machine in the Hilltop restaurant and the food was mediocre . Limited wine available as their liquor license had expired. The gardens at hilltop have also deteriorated since my last visit and I can see attention to detail is missing .

Amazing safari experience with the best guide Jimmy
We went for 7-days safari with Jockey Tours and if I would only have more time I would defiantly stay for longer. The plan was packed and we have seen a lot - big 5 ticked!!
The experience was superior because of our experience guide Jimmy. If I’m going to do safari again I would definitely ask for Jimmy. He is very knowledgable and also very easy to deal with.
One of the best holidays in my life!
