Awesome
we landed in Nairobi first time and without travel arrangements in Jan 2019. In the morning we just walk in the Karibu Safaris in Kenya Office and bough a four-days safari to Masai Mara and Lake Nakuro. The safari was as advertised by Robert; a vehicle, game drives, two nights at a tented camp etc. and a two-star hotel in Nakuro, which even exceeded our expectations. We saw the Big Five and even a black rhino. A lot of thanks belong to good drivers Collins and James. Overall, our trip was excellent and good value for money.

Cared for our Every Need
This was the second tour we had booked with Tanzania Choice Safaris (the first one was two years ago). I had several very specific needs for where we wanted to go and how we wanted this tour to be shaped, including making arrangements to visit some non-profits and people that are not on a usual itinerary. Brenda and Kakasii worked out every detail and arranged for everything I requested. Our tour group (and I) couldn't have been happier with their customer service, with the information that was shared pre-trip, and the way in which we were cared for during our tour. The food, the accommodations, the drivers, the information - all were top notch! We would gladly work with TCS at any time in the future and have advised all of our friends who have interest to check out TCS.

An amazing experience with one of the best driver/ guide that you can imagine.
We did the Safari in low season and even though our guide Joseph was amazing. He did everything for us to see all the animals. A great experience if you like nature! Totally recommended!

Wonderful Safari with our driver-guide Urio
The Safari tour was excellent, service in every stop very good and most probably the places to stay overnight as well

Flexible, responsive team created a magical experience for us
Journeys discovering Africa created a magical custom itinerary for 3 women traveling together in Zambia and Botswana. Patrick and Peace were very accommodating of our needs and were responsive and flexible. Patrick quickly resolved a potential issue with our wire transfer. We loved the lodging at the Royal Livingston Hotel In Zambia and the Chobe Game Lodge in Botswana. All transfers went smoothly and we really had no problems whatsoever. I recommend JDA to anyone!

A safari that exceeded all, already high expectations, more than I could ever dream of.
Our 12 days safari became an extraordinary experience thanks to James and his colleagues Sammy and Gerard.
James is a fantastic guide who reads the group and goes that "extra mile" in order to fulfill the dreams and expectations in the group. He shares his knowledge in a way that makes you become one with Kenya and the wild life, you sense a feeling of belonging to the nature. It is his great experience and passion for what he does that makes it possible for all of us to see and feel so much of the wildlife and the magnificent nature.
James is also a fantastic photographer and he does his utmost to give you the possibility to get that perfect shot!
James, his colleagues and Wild Portrait safaris have my highest and warmest recommendations.

Amazing 4 day safari to Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater with driver/guide Ukadi.
Ukadi spoke excellent English and told me all about the areas we were passing through and identified animals even when they were hidden from my view by leaves and undergrowth. He would stop for a clear view and patiently explained where to look for a good sighting. His driving was safe and confident and he obviously knew all the routes as he managed to get close to lions and elephants and cheetahs after seeing them in the distance. We had tasty lunches which he picked up en route and served at the well maintained rest areas. Standing in the land cruiser gave a wonderful view of the surroundings and I saw thousands of zebra and wildebeest and gazelles as we drove through Serengeti. Giraffes were grazing on the thorn trees and lions dozed by the roadside as we traversed the park. On the way to Serengeti we stopped at a Masai village and had a very friendly and informative tour by the Chief's son as well as demonstration of Masai skills, all helping to explain the red clad figures we had seen herding cows and goats by the roadside. On our final drive to Ngorongoro at dawn, a leopard slunk across the road and then as we entered the crater we saw a black rhino sauntering across the grass. An incredible end to an amazing experience made possible by Ukadi's wealth of experience and professionalism.
Shadows of Africa put together a superb itinerary and accommodation at Eileen's Tree Inn at Karatu was a highlight of my visit with excellent food and spacious, comfortable surroundings.

Amazing from start to finish, Superb experience Gorilla tracking
I must give a big thank you to Karin and Racheal for organizing the details of our trip. Everything went smoothly indeed. We were seven traveling to Uganda, pick up from the airport was fast. Next day we drove all the way to Bwindi, long drive but interesting, our driver Sam always let us take pictures, explained the most interesting stuff. The lunch stopover was great, accommodation near Bwindi was superb, the gorilla tracking couldn’t have gone better, took us one hour to see them so we were so so lucky. :-) Spent an hour with the gorillas, went back to the lodge. Long drive back the next day but also super interesting. What was also superb was that since our flight was leaving at 4 a.m. they let us freshen up and have dinner, then they drove us to the airport in the wee morning hours at no extra cost. Amazing indeed, how they took care of us there. Highly recommend this company, the seven of us who went to Uganda were glad that we did.

Best safari operators in Kenya!
Best Memory Safaris was the jackpot- manager Isaac responded to all our questions promptly and helped us to choose the most suitable itinerary for 3-day safari at Tsavo East and Tsavo West parks.
Our guide and driver Lucky- that man is a real pro!
He was really calm and patient driver on these crazy Kenyan highways and road safety was no 1 priority for him.
During the safari we noticed that Lucky's got eagle vision, he spotted all the animals and birds from great distance and that gave us time to observe and photograph the wildlife really thoroughly :)
Thank you Isaac and Lucky!
We would recommend you to everyone!
