Fantastic Experience!
Fantastic safari experience with Spirit of Kenya. Our family group of 6 people spent 7 days on safari visiting 4 national parks and the trip was extraordinary. In advance, Victor was super in helping us arrange all the details and answering all our questions. The variety of accommodations and national parks was well thought out and our guide, Rafael was experienced and knowledgeable. We saw an incredible variety of wildlife (including lions and cheetahs). Everywhere we stayed was comfortable and the food was excellent. The all inclusive experience made it easy for us to sit back and enjoy each other's company and all the amazing scenery and wildlife.

A dream trip come true!
Brenda and TCS were amazing and ensured our 10th anniversary was the trip of a lifetime. From the personalized itinerary review with Brenda to the care taken with finalizing every detail, we knew we were always in good hands. Through early and constant communications, we were quite at ease with every part of the plan before we started travel. All of the safari properties Brenda found were amazing! Having elephants in your back yard at sunrise is something you’ll never forget.
Brenda was also in contact throughout our trip to ensure everything was going well. When one issue did arise in Zanzibar, Brenda quickly had one of her local contacts meet with us to ensure we were taken care of. The care throughout the trip was above and beyond, but this problem solving support was next level!
For the safari itself, we couldn’t have asked for more! Our guide Victor was a true professional. From pickup at the airport, he was always ensuring our experience was top notch. His vast knowledge of the parks was a great asset, as we always seemed to be in the right place at the right time. He was eager to explain so many things along the journey, and was patient and flexible to our desires while we were out in the truck. He was more than happy to sit and watch the animals as long as we wanted, or to move along when we were ready. His experience and knowledge was the key to our seeing everything we had dreamed of, and more. While it’s never a guarantee, we just knew we would see the Big 5!
If you are considering a Tanzania safari, this is the best you can do. Call or email Brenda today!

excellent tour!
Experiencing an incredible safari tour was truly a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. From the majestic lions basking in the sun to the graceful giraffes wandering the plains, every moment was filled with awe and wonder. The knowledgeable guides, comfortable accommodations, and well-planned itinerary made the trip both exciting and relaxing. I'm leaving with unforgettable memories and a deep appreciation for the beauty and diversity of wildlife. Highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for an authentic and thrilling adventure in the wild!
Smooth! The crew was very attentive and present!
Fantastic experience! My wife and I reviewed many available options and ultimately decided on the "10 Days Incredible Midrange Kenya & Tanzania combined wildlife safari."
We took it as a private tour (just the two of us and our guide), and it was a home run.
Throughout the trip, we visited Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro crater and Amboseli park. We saw Rhinos, Giraffes, Zebras, Pumbas, Hippos, Gazelles, Lions, Cheetahs, Ostriches, Buffaloes, Leopards, Baboons, Elands, Elephants, Hyenas, Vervet Monkeys, and even a Monitor Lizard. We literally saw everything we had hoped to see and many things numerous times.
While we were in Kenya, Eric was our guide, and he was awesome. He met us at the airport, took us to our nearby hotel for a day of rest (much needed after the long flights), and was with us throughout our time, providing insight, background, and information about the parks and animals. When we did not understand something, he clarified it in terms that we understood. Additionally, he is highly skilled at driving through the rough terrain of the parks (lots of soft, deep mud), so we never lost time due to being stuck in the mud, like many others did.
When we got to the Tanzania border, we met up with Godffrey, who took care of us during our times in the parks there. Like Jacob, he was a skilled driver and had a knack for finding the elusive animals (including the Leopard).
Both George and Jacob spoke English well, and they were there with us at each border crossing (from Kenya to Tanzania, then back to Kenya) to make sure things went smoothly. (Note: make sure you have your yellow International Vaccine Card that shows you've been vaccinated for Yellow Fever.)
For accommodations, we stayed in midrange tents (except the first hotel and the Rhino Lodge atop the rim of Ngorongoro Crater), and the tents were all comfortable with contained bathrooms that had hot/cold water. The tents ARE in the parks, so wildlife is all around, in a few, travel to/from your tents is only authorized with a Maasai warrior as your escort (they're awesome).
As a general comment, I'll say you should be prepared to be tired at the end of each day. This was a surprise to me, but something about the bouncing around in the safari vehicle all day is just tiring. Sounds ridiculous, but it's true.
Overall, the safari was pretty close to perfect. I cannot think of anything I'd change, and I hope to do it again in the future!

The best safari in southern Tanzania
Our safari with Kihindo Tours and Safaris to the Mikumi National Park in Tanzania was perfect!
Everything was planned out very well and the communication before/during the trip was really good.
We stayed in wonderful accommodations and the food was really good!
It was a really good price and included everything!
Overall, this was the best safari I have been on and our tour guide Michael was the best!!

They are a very experienced and well organised operator.
We had the pleasure of having Sir Charles as our driver and guide.
We were very happy about that since he is clearly very experienced and knows what he's talking about.
Under his guidance we could locate almost all animals that you think of when going on a safari and learn a lot about them.
We went on a private 5 day safari in Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha and Hells Gate National Park, which was a perfect choice, since these sites complete each other very well.
Thank you Sir Charles for this experience!

A magical experience in Tanzania
I recently had the pleasure of exploring the wonders of Tanzania on a 4-day safari organized by Ihana Safaris, and I can confidently say that it was an unforgettable experience that was worth every penny.
From the beginning of our adventure, communication with Mike, our guide, was absolutely excellent. He was not just a guide, but a true ambassador of the beauties of Tanzania. With a friendly approach and vast knowledge of the local wildlife and culture, Mike made each day on our safari not only educational but also extremely enjoyable.
Ihana Safaris has proven to be an extremely reliable company, offering top-notch services from accommodation to well-planned itineraries in the most scenic locations. We had the opportunity to see a variety of wildlife in their natural habitat and Mike provided us with valuable information and answers to all our questions.
The safari experience was simply magical. Every moment spent on this trip was a perfect combination of adventure, education and relaxation. I truly felt the essence of Africa and left with memories that I will cherish for a lifetime.
I highly recommend Ihana Safaris and especially Mike as a guide. This safari was an unforgettable adventure and I will definitely choose Ihana Safaris again for my future trips to Tanzania.
