Amazing once in a life time experience!
Amazing safari with Elisante! We saw everything. It was tough getting here with Covid but I am very grateful I did. The guide was always sanitizing everything and made it safe. This company went above and beyond to make the experience the best possible. Even with it being just me on a solo safari. I was scheduled for a balloon ride in the central serengeti but it was cancelled due to not enough people. African Savannah Trekkers made the offer and drove me all the way to the northern side just to make a balloon ride. This is an amazing company to book with and a highly recommend it!

Memories that will last a lifetime - absolutely amazing!
Explorer Kenya safaris
Just wow! Everything has been perfect from the first communications with Purity through to our amazing drives with our brilliant Guide Jonathan!
Our route was Masai Mara, Amboseli, Tsavo west and east (8 days in total)
Organising a safari, is a daunting task; knowing where to go, what lodges to pick and trying to keep it within a set budget. Purity made it very simple for us , provided great advice and help us adapt our 8 day itinerary to bring it in within our budget. She was extremely flexible and accommodating to our ever changing plans due to covid.
The hotels that were organised for us to stay in were all fantastic.
Jonathan our amazing Guide, his experience, knowledge and brilliant driving skills got us to see everything we set out to find on our safari.
We were lucky enough to see all the animals up very close within a meter of the car and didn’t need to use binoculars once - such an incredible experience, made perfect by Jonathan’s driving skills and knowledge of the parks.
Our highlight was seeing a pride of 5 cheetah brothers (the Best 5) with their kill, followed by the vulchers swamming in. We also got to see a wildebeest river crossing, the huge herd of wildebeest following their migration, as well as numerous lions (we lost count as we saw so many).
It has been the trip of a lifetime with memories that was last forever. Thank you Jonathan for everything we have enjoyed every single second.
Explorer Kenya safaris comes with our highest regards and if you do have the opportunity to request Jonathan as your Guide we would highly recommend it - you won’t be disappointed!

Best Times in Tanzania with Twiga
I just had a memorable 8-day Kilimanjaro Trek (via Lemosho) and a 3-day Serengeti/Ngorongoro Safari with Twiga...I’ve done other major treks (EBC, W-trek, etc) but Kilimanjaro was by far the best—challenging yet super fun and scenic...Twiga (especially Abuu, the owner and guide) was all-out in making sure that I’m comfortable and safe, from the airport, to my hotel, along the trek—all the way to the summit and then back. Their pricing was inexpensive but the service and the meals they provided were 5-star. So to speak, they delivered more than what I expected.
And short as it was, my 3-day Safari was just as memorable. I saw the big 5 and was able to enjoy the safari experience and take great pictures. The driver/guide, “Futti“ , was very knowledgeable about all the creatures in the park and he knew just where to find them. Very personable and courteous, too. And the meals were delicious and well-served—thanks to “Shavanne”, the Chef.
I’m definitely recommending Twiga to all of my friends and colleagues who got envious of my superb first African adventure.

Lenchada Safari staff are the experts of Safari in Kenya!
From the very first day on, everything was perfect! Lenchada Safaris offers a very well organized service! They picked us up fr our accomodation in the morning with no delays to drive us to their office! Then, we left with our guide and driver Richard who is definitely a Safari expert! The jeep was very comfortable and the lunch breaks are organized in a timely manner. Richard always made sure that we were OK in the jeep and asked if we needed anything. It is 5-6 hours drive from Nairobi to the camp but you don't even realize it's long because everything is perfect. Once at the camp, we got assigned to our accomodation and we had enough time to rest before the evening Safari. We were not even expecting having a Safari that day but Richard offered us a wonderful evening Safari. The second day was also very well planned. Richard always gave us two options and as a group we chose one of them. During the full day of Safari, we saw all the animals that one could see in Maasai Mara. Richard did his best to show us the most precious and rare species. We were always the first jeep spotting the animals. When Richard received a radio call from the other jeeps, he drove us to the point where the others spotted animals. I think if it wasn't him, we would not be able to see that many animals. Lenchada Safaris is also flexible with our plan to extend our trip for one more day to go to the Lake Nakuru. The accomodation at a hotel in Lanet was also fantastic. The food both in the restaurants for the lunch break and in the camp was great. I have never eaten that much in my life while traveling! Lenchada Safaris is a great tour operator with its friendly staff, expert guides and drivers and its accomodations. We enjoyed every moment of our time in Maasari mara thanks to them!

Unforgettable
Such an amazing moment and memorable experience during the pandemic.
It is my second time in Tanzania and again I couldn't hesitate to choose African Wanderlust Adventures after the great safari we had last time. When I was given an opportunity to suggest the tour, I convinced my friends to contact Robert, always available he fast responded to our request with enough details to help travel during the pandemic.
All I can say Tanzania is safe and I admired the precations taken from the airport to the entire tour, with Robert leading all the process.
Serengeti and Ngorongoro will always be my favourite.
I highly recommend African Wanderlust Adventures for great African safari.

Corona Escape Vacation
It was a last second decision to fly to Tansania but Flash Safari did an excellent job and organized everything fast and great. The whole trip was just awesome. First we climbed the Kilimanjaro with a nice team with guides and porters. To stand at the top of Africa by ourselves was breathtaking. Then the safari to the Serengeti was also unbelievable. We saw the big fives all in one day. The great migration over the Mara River was impressive. And all that we could enjoy with a great driver and almost no tourists. At the end we flew over to Sansibar for a relaxing week. To see the blue sea and the white sand was a great final for our vacation.
For us this decision to travel to Tansania at this time was the best choice! It is safe to travel and no restrictions. To see the friendly and happy people makes us to return soon!

Excellent attention and quick refund due to Covid
At first I was a bit scared of reserving online without knowing Robert, but as soon as read the reviews and started emailing him, his attention and details made me feel confident.
My trip was supposed to be on May and he was super comprehensive so he suggested some options and unfortunately my honeymoon ended up being canceled because of COVID. From Robert’s side, the communication was super quick and the refund was made the day after I let him know I needed to cancel but I will definitely try to go as soon as I can and will not doubt to book with Explorer Kenya.

Unforgetable safari !
Mama Savana is a very professional company. Alex is very reactive and flexible in the planning of the custom made safari (Always good proposal), especially in this covid period ! Our guide Allen was very experienced and friendly during the safari. He knows where to go and when to see the animals. We learned a lot with him !
Besides we also booked hotel and excursion in Zanzibar with mama Savana and everything went well too.

Excellent 3-day Serengeti and NgoraNgora tour
The communications, both written and oral, were clear. The service was excellent! The guides gave good description of the animals, birds and the nature with interesting details, noticed many animals which one can easily miss (especially cheetahs). Saw many animals: lions, cheetahs, elephants, giraffe, monkeys, hippos, wildebeasts, zebras, ostriches, eagles, other birds, hogs. Saw a lion hunting a hog (luckily managed to escape). Visited a maasai village. Exceeded my expectations.
