Tailormade individual safari package with beach stay
I have never used a company based outside of the UK before but after reading Tripadvisor and safari booking reviews I contacted Kenan. Jennifer immediately replied offering different itineraries all fully priced. There was many exchanges between us as I changed my preferences of travel, lodges, amount of days stay and areas to stay. All because of the different options Jennifer would provide us and all fully costed. Everything was very responsive. We decided for a fly in fly out safari using Basecamp lodges one in the Masai Mara reserve Basecamp Explorer and one in Naboisho conservancy Basecamp Leopard Hill. And finally flights into and out of Diani Beach. Jennifer arranged everything, the accommodation, the domestic flights and the transfers, all we had to do was book the international flights.
Jennifer met us at the beginning in Nairobi transferring us onwards and at the end of our holiday ensuring we got back to Nairobi international. She contacted us a couple of times during our stay checking everything was ok.
We had an incredible safari the lodges, food, and game drives were absolutely fabulous far exceeding our expectations. And the beach stay at Diani was just what we needed to rest up and absorb our amazing experience before we headed back home.
Kenan travel are very competitive and provided us a tailormade safari holiday that ran like clockwork and left us blown away by our incredible adventure. I would highly recommend them to anyone. When we travel to Africa again I’ll use them again without hesitation. Thankyou Jennifer for a wonderful holiday

African Welcome Safaris creates dream tours of Africa.
Friends recommended African Welcome Safaris after their trip to South Africa and Victoria Falls. We were amazed at how informative, efficient, and personable Kathi was, and how easily she helped design our fantastic tour of Capetown and the Garden Route, as well as our trip to Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe.
She asked us what we wanted to see, where we specifically wanted to go, and what activities we wanted to do. Once we started communicating, Kathi came up with an itinerary that included all places that met our desires and fit our timetable. She suggested guided tours with local guides and activities that we could book through her, or in some cases, we could book on our own.
Kathi booked all our regional flights, transfers, and incredible accommodations. She also arranged a rental car for our self-drive tour of the Garden Route.
We spent three nights at Arathusa Safari lodge at Sabi Sands bordering Kreuger and our ranger guide and tracker found all of the Big 5 plus lots of other animals including hyenas and crocodiles, impalas and kudus. Roy, our ranger guide had 21 years experience and could tell about the family relationships between lion prides and leopard mothers, cubs, and fathers!
All in all, our detailed daily itinerary spelled out everything we needed to know to have a seamless travel experience.
We highly recommend African Welcome Safaris to anyone seeking a tailor-made unique visit to South Africa, Victoria Falls, and Safaris.
We can't wait to return!

We loved everything!
We booked a trip for 6 people, with 6 days of Safari in Tanzania and 3 nights in Zanzibar. Everything was perfectly organized by Sultan from Savannah Explorers.
The Safari itself was an amazing experience.
Our guide Felix was the best! We could feel his experience. He is very knowledgeable, patient, helpful, and respectful of the animals. He's also very nice :)
We're very happy we put our trust in Savannah Explorers for this once in a lifetime experience. Might turn into a "twice in a lifetime" as we all very much want to go back!

“Great and well-planned”
The entire process of arranging my vacation to Africa with Serengeti Green was something I truly enjoyed. Everything went perfectly, from the initial email-based planning of my trip with Davies to my on-site nice and experienced guide Good luck! I had a great conversation with my driver from the airport in Mr. White who drove me from Kilimanjaro to Arusha. My expectations were exceeded in terms of lodging, food, and transportation- I was treated like a royalty!
Speaking in English with Good luck was never a problem; he shared a wealth of knowledge about the wildlife and environment, particularly regarding the reason the Serengeti is so treeless and flat! I had a great experience on safari! Even witnessed a lioness kill a zebra

4 Day Safari and Panorama Experience with Norman and Brilliant!
Norman and his colleague Brilliant were exceptional from start to finish. We were met at Johannesburg airport and driven up to our 4 star hotel in Kruger. After check in we went on our first evening game drive. All organised really well and we saw so many animals in the first few hours, including 4 of the big 5 (no rhinos but the guide said they hadn’t seen any for nearly a month). The next morning was another game drive followed by a late afternoon relaxing at the hotel. The next day we changed our plans to do the panorama route (highly recommended) and we had another amazing day. On the last day we asked Norman if he could recommend anything for our visit and he obliged with a stop off in Pretoria on our way back to Johannesburg. It was really interesting to see a completely different side to our trip and Norman was a wealth of local knowledge and history of the area. I highly recommend Nhlalala Travel. Norman and Brilliant’s professionalism, flexibility, kindness and expertise made our trip one to remember and I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again. For the experience we had, the price was an absolute bargain for 4 days of fun.
Nhlalala Travel are a smaller company, but if you want a tailored personal experience from a trustworthy guide, then I cannot recommend them highly enough. Thank you Norman and Brilliant. Well done in the rugby as well!

9 Days Luxury Honeymooners Tanzania Wildlife Safari
We chose Kiwoito's company for our safari trip in Tanzania and have not regretted it for a moment.
The service was outstanding even before we arrived, and the availability was very high.
We received an organized and detailed program divided by days according to our desired vibe.
Charles met us on the second day, where he also explained to us face to face the package we closed, gave us tips for the trip, and explained in detail what to expect. It put our thoughts in order and eased our fears.
Everything was just perfect and accurate. The places where we traveled and the lodges were at the level we wanted, and some were exceptional.
The trips and places we visited were right on track, and much thought had gone into it. We started in the Arusha region and ended our journey in the Serengeti, where we flew to Zanzibar. It is important to note that Charles also closed the domestic flight to Zanzibar for us, so we did not have to worry about it. We saw different tribes, heard their life story, and even joined hunting with the last hunter's tribe.
Our driver was a champion, he picked us up from the first moment, understood what we liked and didn't and took us to places where you can see all the animals worth it. It is essential in a safari to have a driver who knows the places worth visiting. Our driver has 15 years of experience, and that says it all. He was highly professional, an excellent driver, and became our friend during our time together.
Everything was at a very high level, and we enjoyed ourselves. The trip would have looked entirely different if we didn't close with them.
We highly recommend this fantastic company that created a perfect and precise honeymoon for us. The trip was tailored for us and perfectly matched our dreams.

A perfect place to engage with the nature
Beautiful place, amazing experience. Would always recommend a tour guide to plan your trip. Would suggest Super Eagles for that.
Definitely should go to Masai Mara and spend few days with the wild along with the tribes.

Natural Beauty - Wildlife is Awesome
Kenya is a naturally very beautiful place. The people are warm, welcoming, mild mannered and very pleasant to be around. The wildlife in the parks is awesome, the beautiful lions, majestic giraffes, elusive cheaters and leopards, playful elephants , ubiquitous zebras and wildebeests, Impalas, monkeys and baboons Meeting the Masai Mara tribe and actually going to their homes was very moving. Our driver ( Jackson) who took us around was fantastic and went out of his way to ensure we enjoyed the game drives and got the best views and photo opportunities possible. He was also always very punctual, polite and neatly attired.
The accommodation at the lodges were very comfortable with all modern amenities and a wide variety of food which was delicious.
Thank you Kenya - you have put a smile on my face !!
