An excellent safari experience!
We went for the 3-day Ngorongoro & Serengeti budget tour. It was a great experience from beginning to end. Our driver Patrick was very good to us and had a lot of knowledge about the animals and nature. The chef cooked amazing food, and made the stay at the campsites even better.
Thank you for an amazing safari-weekend!

Amazing 3-day Safari trip with our guide Joseph
Just returned from an amazing safari trip booked with Natural World Kenya Safaris. The company is very well organized from the booking on the website, to receiving further details through email and finally to setting up the pick up and drop off once we’re in Africa. Esther, who works in their offices, was very clear and great to work with in setting up our pickup from the hotel. Then our pickup from the hotel was very sharp as our amazing driver, Joseph M., had arrived early to make sure we wouldn’t be late. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide as Joseph is incredibly knowledgeable not just about the safari and all the animals but also about the city and culture around Nairobi and all of Kenya! We spent 3 days total with Joseph and in that time he was able to show us everything we wanted to see. A feat we didn’t expect to accomplish as, outside of the normal zebras/gazelle/wildebeest you see everywhere, we were able to catch a glimpse of: the 5 musketeers (cheetahs), a leopard, a couple rhinos and the infamous baby Tira (spotted zebra)!! Tira apparently migrated back to Tanzania the day after we saw her so it was amazing to get the chance to see such a rare zebra before she left the Masai Mara area. All in all it was an amazing safari experience and no doubt if and when we come back to Kenya we will be booking with Natural World and more specifically be requesting Joseph’s company again!

What an experience! Absolutely Amazing!
Me and my girlfriend, booked a RD Congo Tour, with Kumbukumbu Tours, and it was the best experience on our trip in Africa.
Obed was the best guide, he helped us with all the transportation, and was there everytime that we need him (Rwanda-Congo Border)
Virunga National Park is absolutely stunning! We stayed in Kibumba Tented Camp, which is a luxury lodge at the top of a mountain with a really nice view to the vulcanoes. The food was 5 star!! We could see the monkeys in the trees, from our tent. At night, we sat around the fireplace, talking with the other guests and staff, the people were so warm and friendly.. We did the Gorilla Trekking and were so close to the Gorillas (like 1 meter apart)... once in a lifetime experience! Highly recommend. The advantage of Virunga over other gorilla trekking experiences is that you can be sure of very small groups. In our case it was just 5 tourists plus the rangers.
Nyiragongo volcano: This is the hardest hike that we had ever complete, but it's absolutely worth it. The pictures can not come close to capturing the beauty and, for me, utter shock, of peering over the rim of Nyiragongo and staring a mile down into the most active lava lake in the world. After a challenging hike, there are few experiences more rewarding than gradually coming into earshot of the faint roar of Nyiragongo's summit. For those travelling here, remember two things: (a) in the summit, it's colder than you think, so have layers for after the hike; (b) stay hydrated and pace the way up -- it starts off feeling easy, but the slope only increases as you go up, and the volcanic rocks really starts to wear out your feet/shoes. The Virunga rangers are very patient, professional, and in complete control of the hike's route - I felt perfectly safe. Lastly, the porters, who assist with carrying items up the mountain, are Nyiragongo true heroes -- you can't thank/tip them enough for all of the hard work they put in over the course of two days.
In conclusion, I really would like to recomend Kumbukumbu Tours to everyone. The owner Obed is very professional and coordinated everything without any problem. He was so nice, helpful, friendly and welcoming for us, that we think we can call him a friend, after all. Good luck for the company, Obed. And we hope that we will see you again, in Africa or in Portugal.

Brilliant, better then I expected.
Food and accommodation was amazing. Wildlife, scenery outstanding, much better I expected. We had excellent weather. This was well organised safari, the only thing that did not go well, was that our driver had to leave us half through the safari due to a emergency, and communication was poor. This needs to be improved for the future.

Far exceeded my expectations for accomodations and wildlife spotting.
The choice of locations was great because each one offered more diversity and quantity of animals to view. The lodges and camps
were beautiful and meals were delicious. The staff at each location could not have been more accommodating and attentive (we have emails from so many and plan to keep in touch). But our guide Samme was the star of the safari...he made us feel like family! He not only was knowledgeable about the animals....but had an amazing background and passions for African birds....and would point out beautiful species on all of our game rides. This was my "bucket-list" birthday gift from my family....it really was a dream come true for me.

Simply amazing Safari - highly recommendable tour operator! We will be back for sure with Zohar!
Together with my husband and two friends of ours, we decided to do a 5-days luxury safari with Zohar African Safaris and we are so so happy we chose them! Our experience has been wonderful and we will definitely come back to Tanzania for further exploring, for sure with Zohar African Safaris. Lilian, the founder of the company, did an awesome job with planning our trip; she was always very responsive and chose the best trip route as well as accommodation – providing us with the most amazing level of customer service! We wanted to change one of our domestic flights on short notice and even if we had not booked the flights via Lilian, she was super supportive and sorted everything out for us. Our guide Ahmed showed us the Serengeti with so much dedication and joy – we could not have imagined a better and more knowledgeable guide than him. His persistence and expertise made it possible for us to see all the Big 5 as well as the migration during our first Safari – what an experience! Thank you very much to everybody at Zohar African Safaris who made our trip unforgettable! We will definitely be back with you guys, next time for climbing the Kilimanjaro. We can only highly highly recommend Zohar African Safaris!

My Memorable Adventure by Africa Marvel Tours
I needed a random plan to unwind, get away, do something fun. After along search on the internet, I landed on a couple of recommendations and decided to try Africa Marvel to book a 2 days safari to Lake Nakuru. Wow! The travel agent by the name Perminus took up the task (such a humble personality by the way) and was very fast to respond to my mails with detailed clarity. I was very impressed at the reception already and was excited to get on with the booking. My stay at Lake Nakuru Sopa was perfect and the driver guide - Ken was so informative, needless to say, his eyes are a binoculars during game drives. It was my first game drive ever and looking forward to my next one. Not knowing much about animals, I got a lot to learn especially about their habitual trends in the jungle. I would definately recommend and awaiting my soon to travel booking with Africa Marvel Tours for my next safari.

Nice experience
Our guide was nice! She made efforts to spot the maximum animals. I am a photographer, I wanted to try a "safari tour operator" to test it. I have some nice photos. It would certainly be better if I was there since the sunrise and stay until the sunset, but I'm complicated because I pay a lot of attention to my photos.
But for everyone who is looking for a good safari trip, don't hesitate! It is a good deal. For sure, I will recommend it on my blog (as soon as I write my article)!
Nothing to say related to the pick up and drop off: perfect.
