Incredibly well-organised, beautiful hotels, very friendly & knowledgeable guide & all animals seen
Communication went very smoothly, starting from our first contact with Chris, who responded very quickly to all our questions. Payment was easy (either by bank transfer or credit card). Chris even helped us organise a car and driver for the weekend in Nairobi prior to going on Safari. We didn't have to worry about a single detail from the minute we were picked up to the minute we were dropped off.
We had a really great time on safari and saw absolutely everything. Many cheetahs, lions, elephants, rhinos, buffalos, and even a leopard. Spotting lions, leopards, and cheetahs is apparently easier in February as they are more likely to be out searching for prey (as opposed to during the migration) and indeed we saw many, many of these animals. I recommend doing Lake Nakuru in addition to Masai Mara as we were able to see many Rhinos there, compared to Masai Mara where there are fewer.
The hotels we stayed in (Sarova chain) were very nice and there was a large selection of food at the buffet: African, Indian, Italian, etc. Both hotels had a pool so we could relax during our lunch break in between game drives.
Our driver was incredibly friendly and went out of his way to ensure that we got a good view of the animals. For example we followed a pack of cheetahs along several routes and they crossed the road in front of our car 4 times! I recommend taking the landcruiser as it enabled us to take muddier roads to explore more remote parts of the park and get closer to the game.
All in all an amazing experience and nothing to fault them for!

Asante sana!
Kilinge Adventures deserves more than 5 stars. I have returned from successfully trekking: the 7 days Machame Route with my 3 buddies. We booked with Kilinge Adventures because they were reasonably priced and also had very many positive accolades on TripAdvisor. Trekking with the Kilinge Adventures climbing crew under chief guide Rama and Thomas was an incredible experience. They led us carefully in a comfortable speed through the different camp teaching us about the mountain, perseverance, story of Tanzania and even bits of Swahili. I soon realized that every section of the trek took a lot of planning to ensure that we had everything that we needed at that particular time. I cannot forget to mention our porters who worked very hard. Those supplies and equipment bags were heavy and these guys hauled everything including the rubbish. Private the camp cook is another fine gentleman! Honestly his culinary skills are second to none and this trek would not have been the same without him. Kilimanjaro gets harder as you go higher, thank you Rama and Thomas for the motivation and support that pushed us to the summit. You guys rock!

Great safari.
Communication was good from the start, with quick replies and clear answers.
The safari truck was great, I wouldn't want to do this without a pop-up roof as the height really helps spot the animals.
Our guide was always helpful and spoke perfect English. He made good suggestions and helped with our requests.
The Akagera National Park is a beautiful landscape with great views. We saw many animals including elephants and giraffes and hippos. Sadly we didn't see a rhino but they are very rare, and the leopards are very good at hiding.
The safari lodge was fantastic, newly refurbished with great showers and great views. A shame to leave so early but we had more elephants to find.

Super efficient, planned to the finest detail, no stone left unturned.
The communications from Rob Morley from the initial enquiry and subsequent booking, right up to departure date, and during the trip were incredible. Even down to the meet and greet at Jo'burg airport to ensure we got our ongoing flight to Szukuza safe and sound, the TravelKey App recommended to ensure we had our travel details all to hand, and everything from when we arrived at Szukuza airport until we departed again, worked like clockwork. Then the follow up when we were home to ensure there were no problems. A First Class service from Rob, and Tailormade Africa.
The Rhino Post Safari Lodge is a great place, with excellent staff and facilities. I would recommend this lodge to anyone.

Best tour experience so far!
My trip to Kenya was very well planned by Sino Africa Safari! I was recommended the company by a friend who just visited Kenya in 2019. Before the trip, the itinerary was communicated clearly to me and Li is very responsive. After I landed, I was warmly welcomed and taken very good care of. They provide careful service regarding my dietary restrictions and never asked for extra tips (as you would normally encounter in many developing countries)!
I went wildlife safari and also had a bit taste of the city life. It wasn't the Great Migration season but I still saw a great variety of animals thanks to the guide and the driver. They are on top of everything and seem to know the location of every animal! The travel to the sites are a bit long due to the poor infrastructure of the country but it was totally worth it! The conversations I had with my guide and driver are super interesting and I sort of forgot the time.
Will definitely come back again with Sino Africa Safari!

It is the most fanstics travelling experience I ever have, Sino Africa Safari is the best of all.
Sino Africa Safari is the best of all.
The communications are very smooth, the Safari driver speaks very flunent English, and he knows everything about the animals, not only the animals, but also the history of the Africa, the whole picture of the wild world. He also have a good sense of humor, all the way along chasing the wildbeasts, he gave all the stories with a sense of humor.
The service is also first class, the driver knows exactly every spot of where the animals hides and lives, we have the big fives the first day and even more and more in the following days, Sino Africa Safari always the first gets to the exact spot where the big fives are, and also the very time wildbeasts go across that river.
Accomadation is another surprise, luxury nature reverses provides the first clase living conditions, and the food, the service, the equipment including the shampoo, the body wash are with luxury brand, makes you feel the like a king.
Overall, Sino Africa Safari is the most reliable and capable travel agent among all the travels I've made, arrangement and service are all incredibly extraordinary.

Could not have asked for for more. Simply Amazing Service.
We had 3 tour companies provide their quotes. We went with Beacon Safaris. Professional, Accommodating, Amazing. We did 3 days Masa Mara, 3 Days Amboselli and Taita Hills and finished in Diani Beach for Valentine's Day retreat on the beautiful & warm Indian Ocean. The safari went flawless. My wife and our grown daughter were not only amazed at the wildlife we saw UP CLOSE and PERSONAL, but the people of Kenya were amazing to meet. From our visit to a Masai village, where we met with the 92 year old village Chief & his 9 wives, to our staff members at each of the 3 lodges we stayed at, the Food, Accommodations, Friendships were simply memorable. What Kenyans may lack in financial wealth, is completely over shadowed with the tremendous amounts of Love they have for the animals, Compassion for their fellow man, and Warmth they readily share with their smile. Special notice to Robert at Beacon Safaris, who answered each and every email I sent to him. Even though the time difference was 8-10 hours difference, he always responded quickly, courteously, and with complete information. Everything, and I mean everything, Robert promised was provided. NO SURPRISES..No Extra Bills, No Disappointments. Eustes, our guide, became a member of our family in one short week.This happens when you spend 10-12 hours or more a day with your guide. His 16 years of guiding provided us with AMAZING, UP CLOSE, in the MIDDLE of Action at all 3 area we visited. I can not say enough good words for Beacon Safari, Robert of Beacon Safaris and Eustes, guide at Beacon Safari. You made one of my dreams come true. Thank you so very kindy from the bottom of my heart.
Thank you SafariBookings.com for conducting business with such top notch tour companies.

Sino Africa did an excellent job of coordinating our safari to Kenya
Excellent coordination and arrangements from Sino Africa for our family visit to Kenya. The care, service, meals, accommodation, safari drivers and game drives were first class. I would highly recommend Sino Africa to anyone who is thinking of visiting Kenya. We appreciate you.

Review about Sabi Sand Game Reserve by Emily Ward
Sabi Sand seems to have a really high density of animals without a lot of other vehicles. It's so nice to be able to go off-road in pursuit of the big 5, and I think that that makes for better sightings of things like leopards on the move who aren't going to stay next to the roads. I also like the open-air vehicles and the fact that there were only ever a max of 3-4 vehicles at a sighting. Our traverse area was relatively small but it didn't feel limiting. Being able to leave the vehicle for a sundowner was very nice and one of the highlights of the experience.
