the friend of animals and the best of operators and guide
Excellent trip with Hamisi.
He knew how to make this trip a wonderful one.
He knew how to find the right program, and was able to show us the wonderful places of the safari.
A childhood dream of being able to be as close as possible to the animals. We leave with a head full of memories. Thank you for everything, best guide and organizer.
See you soon for a new adventure

Great time in Kenya
We had an amazing time with Imara Africa safaris. They were easy to communicate with before the trip, always answered quickly. They were also open to changes to the itinerary. We wanted to visit a place that they didn't offer ready safaris, and Imara Africa safaris organised everything smoothly. I had a food allergy request, and they took care of that well.
They were welcoming us at the airport, and took care of us from the start until the end of our trip, they even gave us a ride to the airport in the middle of the night. Everyone (Lewis, Wendy, Patrick and Brian) were so kind and genuine. Also Patrick, who was our driver, was probably the best driver I've seen. We didn't get stuck in the mud once, although it was the end of the rainy season. With the little van that we were in, Patrick got us to places I was sure were impossible. Also he was very knowledgeable about the animals and the birds. He even had some bird and mammal books in the car that we could also look through. He... Read more worked hard that we saw the big five, and at the same time he didn't overlook the "smaller" species, but told us about starlings and always stopped to show us new species of animals.
The safari itinerary was two nights at Masai Mara, two nights at Kakamega rainforest (our addition), one night at Lake Nakuru, one night at Lake Naivasha and two nights at Amboseli. If I would now make a new itinerary for a Kenyan safari, I would go to Masai Mara for two nights, and after spend two nights at Kakamega, which was the most beautiful place. After that, one night in Nakuru, and then I would skip Lake Naivasha. Although the walking tour was nice, the scenery was maybe too similar to Nakuru. Also I would only spend one night in Amboseli, because the park is quite small. The two nights "saved" I would spend in Tsavo national parks.
Some things were a bit misleading in the original quote that we got, for example the quote said that non-alcoholic drinks would be included, but we still had to pay for non-alcoholic drinks in every hotel where we stayed. I hope they fix this to the future quotes. Also in the quote there was a photo of a sundowner experience in Amboseli national park which was of a jeep somewhere that looked like the inside of the national park, it looked like it was a game drive during sunset. But the sundowner we got at Amboseli sentrim lodge was drinks at a hotel terrace facing Kilimanjaro. A nice experience but not what I was expecting. So I hope that there would be more info about what certain experiences include.
The best parts of this safari was seeing so many animals right at the start in Masai Mara national reserve, the whole of the Kakamega rainforest experience. The Rondo retreat where we stayed was perfect, the guided walks in the rainforest where unforgettable. Our rainforest guide, Wycliff, was great. The end of the safari was also memorable, with huge herds of elefants in Amboseli national park.
All in all we had a great time, I'm really happy that we chose Imara Africa safaris as our safari company, and if I go to Kenya again, will certainly ask them.

ONE OF A KIND EXPERIENCE IN NATURE
I recently embarked on a 3-day safari to Serengeti and Ngorongoro in Tanzania with Major Treks and Safari, and it was undoubtedly one of the best experiences of my life. Our guide, Omar, was incredibly skilled at spotting wildlife and ensuring that we had the best views and photo opportunities. He had an extensive knowledge of the animals and their behaviors, which he eagerly shared with us throughout the safari. The team at Major Treks and Safari, including chef Nathan, went above and beyond to provide us with delicious meals every day. I was impressed by the variety of fresh ingredients and the creativity in the dishes. This safari exceeded all my expectations and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an unforgettable adventure in Tanzania.

FLEXIBLE, EFFIECIENT AND EFFECTIVE TOUR OPERATOR FOR AMAZING SAFARI
We arrived in Arusha with no decision yet on which tour operator to use for safari, and that’s when our hotel connected us with Arnold who in just few hours was able to arrange for us to join a group of other 4 tourists and embark in a 5 days budget safari.
We visited all parks we wanted and the whole organization was amazing from the beginning to the end. With Omar we were able to spot all the Big 5 animals and zillion of wildebeest, Zebras and Impalas.
The food was amazing, tasteful and plenty each day. We never traveled on empty stomach for a second!
It was the best safari and a good value for money!

Very responsible and experienced
The communication and service is very good.
I would definitely recommend Vision Safar for every traveler going to Serengeti.
Not only worth money but also the experience including food and service is perfect.
Especially our guide and driver Assad who help a lot. We do see big five and have a very exiting trip.

Can’t be better!
I had an amazing 5 days with the Suricata tour. I traveled with my daughter, and Elias, as our guide, was simply fantastic. He was very patient, had a beautiful personality, and was incredibly knowledgeable, answering every single question I asked. I am sure my trip wouldn’t have been the same without him! The food was also delicious; I expected to be starving but ended up having so much food. Popcorn before dinner was an added delight. Company doesn’t overcharge, it is Reasonable price as well! Overall, the entire Suritaca team communicated really well, and I am so happy. Thank you for your excellent service! If anyone is still searching the company, I highly recommend this company.

Best honeymoon in the best location organised by the best tour operator
Kathi of African Welcome Safaris is highly recommended. She was very responsive, both before and during our trip from late October to early November.
At the planning stage, she found out about our needs and provided appropriate advice, including on where to splurge and where we did not need to. When we splurged, the choices provided to us were the best luxury choices and we thought every dollar was well spent. The entire experience was extremely pleasant, personalised and comfortable.
During the trip, when we had to make last minute changes due to weather conditions and some of our planned items (e.g. ferry to Robben Island and cable car at Table Mountain) had to be rescheduled, Kathi attended to them immediately and worked tirelessly even during weekends (although we much rather not bother her if we didn't need to!).
Our guide/driver in Cape Town Henrik deserves a special mention. He was always early, went above and beyond, shared his experience, and took us off the beaten path whenever we have some time in between planned items.
