Knowledgeable and helpful
Daniel really helped two complete novices navigate the enormous options of where to go and what to see. He tailored the experience to us perfectly.
Tony our guide was brilliant, nothing was too much effort and his knowledge seemingly endless.
I highly recommend this company

A perfectly organized safari!
We did a thorough research before booking this safari but Morning Star made the difference from the beginning. From day one we felt safe thanks to the great communication we had with Dennis, who was always available to plan with us our dream safari.
The tour was exactly as planned, we had the chance to see everything we wanted and had so much fun. We went to Amboseli, Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara. All hotels were perfect, we stayed at Ol Tukai Lodge, Sarova Lion Hill Game Lodge and Zebra Plains Mara.
Our guide Peter was always on time and he was super flexible and super eager to help us on anything that came up. We really appreciated his effort for us to see as many animals as we could while also providing many information for them. He was
Both Dennis and Peter were willing to go beyond to make sure that we were having the time of our lives.
A massive thank you to the Morning Star team! Highly recommended!

Friendly and reliable tour operator!
Our experience with Cultural Vibes Travel & Tours was great! Tongesai was very friendly and ensured that we were comfortable throughout. He shared interesting information about the falls and region. Tongesai was prompt with his communication before and during the tour. He was always timely when collecting us from our accommodation. We would recommend Cultural Vibes to our friends.

Best operator for those who look for perfection in their Safari trips
Lion King Adventures and everyone involved in our trip made this experience unforgettable! This is one of the best holidays we had, unique, well planned and organized from the beginning.
Our Safari guide, Enock, was basically a hero. He made our trip unforgettable thanks to his kindness, knowledge about the wildlife and the National parks, especially Serengeti. He did not hesitate to go an extra mile for ensuring that we see all the animals we dreamed of. We not only did see all the big 5, but also other rare animals like cheetah, serval cat, crocodile, even a genet and many more. He is highly knowledgeable about the wild animals and full of passion to share that with us. He is a great driver and makes you feel always safe in the safari car. He also helped my boyfriend plan proposal to me which made this trip unforgettable

Fantastic experience - Ticked all boxes - Great communication
My wife and I had a fantastic time on the 9 night tour beginning in Nairobi. Our experience was as follows:
Initial enquiry/booking process: I had reached out to a number of different safari operators and Alex from Mama Savana was prompt and detailed in his responses that made the decision to book with him an extremely easy one.
Deposit and payment process: As with any large overseas transfer there is an element of risk. Alex was able to provide a very simple payment link that enabled me to pay with card. I received a receipt and confirmation from Alex almost instantly.
Arrival process: I provided the team our flight details and arrival time. Upon arrival in Nairobi Sammy was there to greet us at the airport to take us to our hotel. A note to others that you need evidence of the Yellow Fever vaccine to enter Tanzania from Kenya. We were also able to purchase our visa at the border.
The accommodation: The accomodation was great and provided everything we needed for our time travelling through Kenya and Tanzania - They are as good as you could possibly expect when travelling in remote parts of Africa. There were some highlights though. The Simba lodge and the coffee lodge being stand outs.
Safari and Guides: We were fortunate enough to have two extremely professional and experienced guides in Sammy (Kenya) and Harun (Tanzania). Both had their own style in telling us about the different facts and information about animals and landmarks that was great for us too.
We didn’t know what to expect when it came to seeing the animals in the reserves, but we soon realised it’s difficult to see all animals at least once with the leopards, cheetahs and Rhinos being the most elusive.
Our guides did everything they could to make sure we saw everything and in the end we did! We even saw a leopard and cheetah for a second time on the last day in the Serengeti. I can’t express how good these men were at making sure we had a great experience.
Also a very special mention to their driving abilities. I had read some other reviews that mention this, and didn’t think much of it. But wow. These guys get that Landcruiser in and out of places you wouldn’t think possible.
On the dodgiest of roads we felt extremely safe in these capable hands.
Overall we had a fantastic experience and I would certainly recommend anyone to go with Mama Savana
Kind, welcoming, and professional staff
Incredible views and photos, awesome food, very skilled/safe driver, lots of bathroom breaks. Good communication.

Goodluck Kimberly is knowledgeable, friendly, funny, and accommodating.
Goodluck, our guide and Sam and Alex, our drivers provided us with an unforgettable experience. Our family traveled in a group of 11 on a private experience and it was amazing. We connected with locals in a local market, saw so many beautiful wild animals like lions, cheetahs, leopards, rhinos, and elephants. They provided the best service to us and were some of the most hospitable, friendly, and personable people I have ever met. This trip was an unforgettable experience and it was all thanks to Goodluck and our amazing drivers. They will answer any question you have and be the best hosts ever.

Amazing Safari experiece. All guys are fantastic
Absolutely fantastic! Highly recommend choosing Kanje Grand Tours for your safari. The entire team, from booking to transfers, guides, and cooks, are exceptional individuals who went above and beyond for us.
Being our first time in Africa, they provided invaluable assistance with non-safari aspects like flights, visas, money exchange, and hotels. Their support was unwavering throughout. The trip's organization and planning allowed us to explore the most important national parks, and we were fortunate enough to witness the big 5!
Amani, our guide, skillfully navigated and ensured we had the best vantage points to observe animals. His extensive knowledge about wildlife was impressive, and he always maintained a contagious smile while respecting the environment. Wille, the cook, surpassed expectations with delicious local cuisine – hunger was never a concern!
The lodges and campsites were immersed in nature. Spending a night in Serengeti, hearing lions in the distance, and seeing them nearby in the morning was awe-inspiring!
For a flawless first experience in Africa, Kanje Grand Tours is the perfect choice. We look forward to returning someday, and without a doubt, we'll choose them again.

So helpful with planning and great communication
I just found Viva on internet and from the beginning Patricia landau was so helpful with planning. All went smoothly on the trip with pick up and return to airports. The staff was delightful and efficient. The guides made every effort to find the animals. More big animals seen in Krueger than game reserve. Excellent way to have a short safari experience for good value
