Shoor Safaris - The best in KENYA wildlife experience
We did a safari package of 7 n / 8 d from 15 May ' 18 to 22 May ' 18 thru SHOOR safaris covering AMBOSELI / NAKURU / MASAI MARA / NAIVASHA. Also, hot air balloon safari in MARA was done by SHOOR and it is an unforgettable experience for first timers.
From the very first day , their office staff Ms. FIONA was very prompt and accurate with all details and information that we needed. Prompt replies to our e-mails , customized package at very good prices , attention to detail and honesty and transparency are a few words that describe SHOOR safaris.
Mr. Sanjay , the owner is a very co-operative person and we had to do some itin. re-scheduling due to some flight changes and it was handled very professionally by Mr. Sanjay and his team.
Mr. John , the driver cum guide was with us from 15 to 22 May and he was one real good driver and also had a terrific eyesight to spot wild animals from far off distances.
Our KENYAN safari experience would not have been complete without SHOOR.
Thanks Mr. SANJAY and his entire team.

Incredible! Saw the big 5!
My boyfriend and I had a great 3 day, 2 night experience in the Maasai Mara thanks to Beacon and especially our incredible guide/driver Daniel! He was so kind, knowledgeable and great driver. The 4x4 van was clean and comfortable, and our drive from Nairobi to the Maasai was great. I would definitely recommend Beacon to anyone, and would make sure they request Daniel to be their driver!!

Our Unforgetable Adventure in Uganda - 8 Days of Surprises and Happiness !
This trip by Achieve Global Safaris stands out as one of the best safaris I have experienced. And this is my 8th safari having been to Kenya, Tanzania, South Africa, Botswana and Zimbabwe before ! And why, you may ask? Because it is so different from the usual safaris! Yes, we have game drives early morning and at sunset like all the other places. But here, we have walks in the dense forests trekking down chimpanzees and gorillas. Climbing up and down steep slopes with thick vegetation, with the lead Ranger slashing out a track for us with his machete. With friendly English speaking porters helping to carry our day backpacks. With armed trackers in the front and back of our Group in case we encounter "wild animals" which may endanger our trek--- though nothing like that happened. And when we encountered those marvellous primates, we get to spend 1 great hour observing their behaviour. What an amazing experience we had ! The 1 hour passed too quickly. This is a highly recommended safari!
And what it even better was Achieve Global Safaris. From the beginning, it was a pleasure emailing with Mark. We could write very frankly and the replies were always prompt and clear. Their prices were also the best I could get. Then when we arrived, we were greeted by a smiling Driver Guide Abudalla. He was to be our friend for the next 8 days. He was always prompt and cheerful. And he was clean-about his ownself, his appearance and his vehicle. He never drank any alcohol (he is a Muslim), never smoked and was a family man who phoned his family members every evening! Our group of 4 persons felt much for him. He kept the vehicle clean , even though it was thoroughly messed up by muddy roads and rainy weather.
As a driver, Abudalla was the best in all my years of travelling! We covered long distances, but Abudalla made them pleasant even with many hours of difficult roads in Uganda. And when we were on game drives, some treacherous and muddy situations were easily overcome by him without any complaint or panic. We once had a front left wheel drop into a sinkhole that appeared from nowhere ! Within seconds and with calm, he suggested a solution. The 4 of us would go to the rear right corner of the vehicle, and attempt to weigh it down to get traction on that wheel to rev us out. And it worked ! We travelled nearly 2000km and we felt safe in his driving, and that was very important to us.
As for game sighting, we got all we wanted ! And more, as Abudalla found us a leopard, which we had wished for but did not really expect to see.
We wish AGS every success and highly recommend them.

Understood our requirements and tailored the tour to what we wanted
We were recommended to Ubuntu Safaris by a well travelled friend. We normally do a lot of travel organisation ourselves after a lot of research. With our event trip to South Africa, we had a rough outline of where we wanted to go and gave this to Cuan at Ubuntu. He took our outlines, expanded upon it and got to know us and what we were looking for and tailored the itinerary to us. His choices of accommodation were spot on, great locations, helpful hosts and gave us a real taste of South Africa. When we had a question Cuan took these on and handled the request or issue. He was frank and very helpful in his suggestions having taken the time to understand how we travel and what interested us. He was 100% right on every occasion. I would highly recommend Cuan and Ubuntu.

Review about Serengeti National Park by Beth
It’s a location I’ve always heard about from childhood and it did not disappoint. I have been on many safaris but this was the first time I saw a cheetah!

Review about Ngorongoro Crater by Beth
To be down in the crater is really cool. The animals are everywhere and so easy to see. The views of the crater wall are also incredible.

Review about Arusha National Park by Beth
Arusha walking Safari was one of the highlights for me. We were able to get quite close to a giraffe and it was incredible to see how big they really are when you are standing on the ground next to them.

Danielle was great to work with and our private tour guide Jessica was excellent.
service was excellent, planning was made difficult for Danielle because we had a change in our schedule but she was able to accommodate us. Our tour guide could not have been better, not only in her knowledge of the animals and the park, but was so much fun to be with for the five days. That made our meals and just driving through through the park enjoyable.
