Great trip
We had the best time visiting Amboseli, Nakuru and the Masai Mara with our guide Daniel! Daniel knew the best places to spot the big five and many more animals. He always made sure that we could take great pictures. Our highlight of the trip was the Masai Mara where we saw many lions, cheetahs and leopards. Thank you Daniel and Africa Starpal for our amazing trip in Kenya!

A truly fantastic team who and executed a dream holiday itinerary for our family .
From the outset Rose was hugely responsive and helpful to us as we started to think about a family trip to Africa. The suggestions she came up with were well tailored for our family needs (malaria free area, kid friendly but still luxurious, active yet relaxing etc). She presented the ideas is an easy to use format and quickly answered all our questions as we toyed with different ideas. It was novel to have such a stress free holiday planning process (I usually spend hundreds of ours doing the logistics myself- car seats, baby cots, safe transfers etc). What I hadn’t appreciated until we actually got on holiday was quite how perfect the itinerary was- the hotels were uber luxurious, each quite unique and varied yet ideal for our family, the transfers were slick (especially being met off the plane and whisked through the airport without any queues - SO needed after 24 hours on planes with three little children) and most of all the recommended destinations were so varied and each so beautiful and special in their own way. We saw so much more of S Africa than we had expected / would have seen had we planned the trip ourselves. We had some (fairly major!) changes after booking (the arrival of a new baby and the need to change dates and then travel with a 7 month old) and Rose dealt with it all seamlessly- even making sure there were homemade baby purées available at the hotels. The travel App was great, we used it during the trip and also before (love the countdown- that made us very excited for the holiday). We don’t typically use agents for travel but for such a special trip I am so glad we did and I am now a convert to using a travel company for our big family holidays.

An incredible experience with a great organization! Thanks to Daniel, the whole team and especially our driver Elyes who drove us during this safari. Every day the food was excellent. We will remember this trip for a very long time and it’s entirely thanks to you!

The perfect tour operator. World class customer support.
There are 100's of operators to choose from. How do you choose? Our choice was fairly easy as it started before we left the states. Almachius Audax was the coordinator. We really chose due to his responsiveness and flexibility. This lasted from before we booked, after we booked and upon our return. Nice job!
Once we started, our guide, Douglass, was brilliant. We were very naive, and he provided a great overall education. As a guide, he was able to maneuver to great locations and vantage points. You could not ask for a better guide. The days were very full. We got up at 5:50 am and wrapped up with dinner around 7 pm. Exhausting and rewarding.
We are fairly picky eaters. Our cook, Sarehe, tailored the meals and every meal was fantastic. This was icing on the cake.
We went to multiple parks. All were exciting and all were different. It was amazing how plentiful and how healthy all the animals were.
You cannot go wrong if you go with Meru Slopes.

Our African Honeymoon
Antoinette Booyse for Discover Africa did an AMAZING job!! She was on top of everything from the start. Provided us various interesting packages with different price points. Guided us through the decision making process and preparations (visas, etc) for the trip.
We communicated multiple times during the trip to resolve any questions or doubts. We were very happy using Discover Africa and would recommend them to everybody!

Service client oriented
I highly recommend Suricata Tours. Excellent price, service, personalized client service. Our guide, Macha, was excellent. We saw a lot of wild life in Ngorongoro and Tarangire. Five star!

Surprisingly prompt and dedicated to preparing and executing the itinerary that you select.
Our 2 person 12 day itinerary began with 4 nights in the Masai Mara at Zebra Plains Camp. Guide James did a great job beginning to end. He was always on schedule and adapted his driving and viewing skills to the fact that it was my 18th trip to Africa and 3rd time to Kenya. After 1 night stands at Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, Sweetwater and the Ark we finished with 2 nights in Amboselli NP. My travel companion had never been to Kenya and the itinerary provided a good cross section of landscapes, accomodation types and wildlife viewing ideal for first timers. Special thanks to Carol who was our booking and consultant expert and James who was a most friendly and knowledgeable travel companion. I spent considerable time comparing itineraries and pricing and found Kamarez best for our budget.

Truly amazing, I enjoyed every minute of every day
Pre-tour information and responses to queries were immediate and relevant, warm and personal. On arrival staff were friendly and helpful and the initial briefing relaxed and reassuring. Our trip covered Tarangire, two days in the Serengeti, the Ngorongoro crater and Manyara National Park. Very varied landscapes and terrain which allowed us to see a huge range of animals very close up in a variety of settings. I cannot speak too highly of our driver and guide, Justine. He struck the perfect balance between a friendly light hearted approach backed by tremendous knowledge and experience. He was always prepared to stop or divert if something caught our attention but equally delivered close up encounters with all the animals we’d hoped to see. He also arranged for us to spend an hour in a Masai village which was especially memorable.
We used three separate sites for accommodation which were great for us and just as promised. Again facilities at all three were excellent and staff friendly and helpful. All in all it was a fantastic trip - one I shall never forget.
