Beautiful landscape and friendly people
Kenya is worth a trip. A 4-day safari Maasai-Mara and Lake Nakuru provides insights into the flora and fauna. It offers the opportunity to explore a fantastic landscape. I booked this safari with Sunnycreek and had a good experience.
The Nairobi National Park also offers the opportunity to see and observe animals without the safari feeling. You can also visit “Sheldrick wildlife trust” there.
The trip to the coast and the Indian Ocean is also worthwhile. It offers a completely different climate than in the north of the country. Here you can relax and enjoy a swim in the sea.
The season was well chosen. The temperatures were pleasant, so that activities (also for northern lights) were easy to manage.

Dissapointing
The experience in Kruger Park was ok but not how we expected, we didnt saw too many animals. We think that our guide wasnt good, he drive for the same part of the park most of the time, we spend our without seeing animals.
We didnt saw any cheetas, leopards and Rhinos. The thing is that most of the time you can see them there, so we think that our guide wasnt good. We’ve been in Tanzania but there is another thing, we really enjoy there, the parks, the tour guide and we saw a lot of animals.
We noticed that many people that pay a lot in the private reserve they has more chances to see animals and different species, I dont know if that a point to consider because they own a lot of animals , and the know exactlu where they are, but is very expensive too. Or maybe the option to drive by yourself could bebetter because you can go everywhere..
Also the communication during the tour with the agency wasnt good (Shinzelle Safaris).
We regret to add Kruger Park in our trip to Africa, that money could worth it, in another place, because we visited Tanzania and Uganda and everything there was amazing.

We had a perfect time
We had a great tour company (Serengeti Clarity) and they did a perfect job. There is not a single point to complain. We had a great and unforgetable trip.
I have travelled through more than 150 countries. But Tanzania is in the top 10!

Review about Nairobi National Park by Kirsten
The fee for the national park is very high, making it very expensive to visit. But it's worth it!

Review about Kruger National Park by María Paz Venegas
We saw less animals comparing to Tanzania Parks, we have been in november and are too many bushes, the animals hide better.

Well organized, good communication, good value
I did the Sunways Elephant Safari tour in July. There were 9 of us in the tour. We saw a lot of animals especially elephants. There is a lot of time spent driving, so be prepared for long hours in the bus. The lodges/tents we stayed at were pretty nice. The one thing I would change is getting more time in Botswana's Chobe national park. We arrived in the afternoon, and had a lovely trip on the river. However, I would have loved to spend a day, or at least half a day at the park. Instead we had to pay extra for 2.5 hours in the park with another company, and because it was so rushed, we didn't really get to see much.
The guides Aloyis and Allen were knowledgeable and professional. When things went wrong (like running into a sandstorm) they acted responsibly and with ingenuity.

Best tour operator in Tanzania
I visited Tanzania along with my husband and son to experience the wildlife safari. Right from the time of booking with Easy Travel it was a smooth experience. Helen who was in touch with me is very good in her job. Prompt communication, all queries were answered the same day, changes requested were easily accommodated. We arrived in Kilimanjaro on October 28 and were greeted by our friendly guide, Aniny, at the airport. I would say he is one of the best guides around. He is very knowledgeable, highly experienced and friendly too. He made our tour enjoyable. He answered all our questions about different animals, gave more information than asked for. All the Serena and Sopa lodges where we stayed were very comfortable, spacious and clean rooms with hot water supply. Nice spread of delicious food for breakfast and dinner. Lunch boxes carried were good too. Every bathroom stop we made at different places had clean toilets.
Overall a very memorable experience and will highly recommend Easy Travel and tour guide Aniny.

A reputable company you can trust! And a blast on Safari.
This was our first safari, and we were skeptical about what tour company to hire. After nearly being scammed by another tour company, we were impressed by the professionalism of Morning Star. It is commonplace to pay for the whole safari up front, so parting with thousands of dollars is not easy. Dennis, who helped us organize the trip, was extremely responsive and helpful in tailoring the safari to our needs. Our guide/driver, Peter, was prompt, professional, and very knowledgeable about the animals. He was also easy-going and got us everywhere we needed to be on time. He was an incredibly skilled and safe driver, which is needed on the bumpy roads, and in the wet, muddy conditions we experienced. The lodging was all impeccable— they have curated quite the experience! We organized the safari for our honeymoon and couldn’t be more pleased with how it turned out! I have highly recommended Morning Star to all my friends and family – book them, you won’t regret it!
Some tips: bring extra cash to tip hotel staff, if visiting Kenya apply for your tourist visa at LEAST a week in advance as it can take multiple business days, and bring your own binoculars in case there aren’t extras!

Moran Discoveries & Tours went above and beyond to make my Kenyan vacation wonderful.
I had an unorthodox trip to Kenya where it was really a trip to visit my girlfriend interrupted byva safari. We were trying to work around her work schedule while giving me as complete of an experience as possible.
I wanted to see real Kenya where she lived, and I got to experience downtown Nairobi, riding in a matatu (Kenya's colorful and creative minibuses), and having a drinks in both local pub and a modern sports bar (on a safari holiday, but....football...some of you understand.
That was just the prelude to our wonderful safari trip where our driver seemed to know everywhere to go and everything we were looking at. And, we were getting there before the convoy of vehicles so we always had the best pictures. But most importantly, they were just fun to be with and devoted to us having the best experience.
On a personal note, I'll bring up just because especially appreciated the care involved. I have a medical condition which requires me to use the toilet frequently, but I didn't want that to be hold up to my experience. They were so understanding on this and made sure I had privacy and zero embarrassment on the matter. The kindness shown almost brings a tear to my eye in a way that only someone whose dreaded that situation understands.
I would certainly recommend Moses and his team to anyone travelling to Kenya for any purpose, but especially for a safari.
