Amazing Experience with Isaac and Best Memory Safari. We will return again next year.
Our group of 5 traveled from the US to Kenya during the pandemic. Isaac guided our experience and we had an unforgettable time with Best Memory.
We experienced the busy city of Nairobi, we went on safari in the Mara, Mombasa and the coast. We did so much during our experience. I highly recommend people spend at least 10 -14 days with Best Memory to get a complete understanding of Kenya. They worked really hard to make sure we saw as many animals as we could while on safari.
Our group saw more of the country than many of the locals based on what some of the locals told us. Isaac is also very well connected. He was able to connect a couple of people in our group with a strategic partner.
I can not say enough great things about Best Memory Safari other than you should trust their knowledge, expertise and book with them.

Give yourself the gift of Gosheni
From start to finish I had the most amazing experience with Gosheni safaris. Belinda was very patient with all my many inquiries into safari options and after much research I decided they were the best value I had found and took the plunge booking a 8 day 7 night tour for myself and 3 friends. All the camps we stayed at were gorgeous, comfortable and the staff were incredibly attentive. The best part of it all though, was our guide William. His knowledge of animals, their behaviours, his excellent off road driving skills and his keen eyes are undoubtedly the reason we saw so much on our trip. I had high expectations of the safari but they were still exceeded. We saw lots of giraffes, elephants, lions, cheetahs, hyenas, jackals, leopards, baboons, eagles, and even a rhino, everything we were hoping for and more. William spotted it all, including many animals we never knew existed like the genet cat. He was so knowledgeable he answered all of our questions about them easily and was very friendly, good humoured and easy to get along with. Highlights include seeing some lions chase off hyenas who were trying to steal their kill and the great migration river crossing in the north of the Serengeti and of course a very rare rhino sighting. I should also mention the food, we felt completely spoiled typically eating hot 3 course meals for breakfast lunch and dinner. I’m so happy we chose Gosheni safaris. I cannot recommend them enough.

Awesome
Our experience has been really nice!! Africano Paraiso gave us the opportunity to enjoy a few days of safari with a good price and great organization.
I would recommend them for sure.
Thanks Gedeon for your hospitality

An experience of a lifetime in Uganda
I had the chance to experience Uganda with Jimmy the best-in-class guide and driver. Professional, knowledgeable, responsible and careful about every detail, was key at delivering the best experience and attention while visiting the Pearl o Africa. I travelled solo , so security was a major concern for me. I definitely recommend this service, that allows for sure to have a great experience while in Uganda.

Enjoyable
Wow!!! What an experience put on by the Jacolin tours team, from start to finish, it was perfect. Big thanks to the driver, Jackson, for making the trip so memorable. Jackson made everything easy. He was very knowledgeable, funny and made us feel safe the entire trip. The chef who attended, Mosses, made amazing food. Both Jackson and Mosses made the trip. The safari was incredible, with many stops (Ngorongoro, Serengeti, etc), endless amounts of animals and new memories. The camp sites where incredible. While each was a unique stop, they all had showers, WiFi and amazing views. A fantastic trip from start to finish. Look forward to another trip back to Tanzania in the future!

Amazing, great experience worth every dime !!!
Honestly I couldn't have asked for any thing better. The guide was very knowledgeable and thanks to him we were able to spot all the animals we wanted including the elusive black rhino!! The food was also great and having 3 hot courses a day in safari is amazing. Don't hesitate to book with them they are great.

Make sure you get Verity for you agent
We looked at several different safari trips and different companies before we selected Uyaphi. The main reason we chose Uyaphi was their travel agent, Verity. She worked so hard to give us the trip we wanted. And what she personally arranged was so much better and less expensive than any other company. She is honest, reliable, dependable, and knowledgeable. Be sure you ask for Verity.

Well Organized
Steve in the office was great to work with. I emailed him a billion times and he was always quick to respond to any question I had. He made the booking process user friendly. I travel a lot on my own and for work and so I know a bit about how to go about things, but just having that extra help and info about a place I had never been to from Steve made my experience that much better.
Our guide Gibson was awesome. He made sure we saw everything, the Big 5...well technically I spotted one of the five. LOL. It was easy going from place to place. It felt like I had a knowledgeable bodyguard with me the whole time as he is over 6ft tall. Not that we needed a bodyguard, everyone was pretty nice.
There were a few things that I personally didn't really like doing, but I am sure for some they would enjoy it. Those things were the little shops when you stop to use the washroom, I didn't want to buy any trinkets and I felt rude if I didn't. Or the ladies trying to sell you things at the gate into the reserves,
The other was the boat ride in Lake Naivasha. It just wasn't my thing, so to pay the extra money for it wasn't worth it for me. But again some people might love it. I am glad I experienced it, but I probably wouldn't do it again (the boat ride, not the safari, I would definitely do the safari again).
The things I listed above are such a small like 3% of the 97% awesomeness of the trip. I would recommend Bigtime Safaris Ltd to my friends. I hope you have a great experience and get to enjoy Kenya.
Thank you again to Steve and Gibson for a memorable trip.

Reliable, affordable, excellent
Me and my wife did a 4 day safari tour and a 1 day kilimanjaro hike through polecat safaris. The contact with James was perfect and we really enjoyed our trip. Johnny, Freddy, Nazir and Gothfried were amazing drivers, guides and chef.
Highly recommended!

Big 5(and more) lots of food and new friends... So so happy
I'm a solo traveler from Mexico so excuse me if I have any mistypes. Seeing Serengeti with our naked eyes, the changing Ngorongoro scenaries and meeting new friends was amazing. Seeing the rhino (even if from afar), lions, leopard, cheetah, the always photogenic zebras and well, ALL ANIMALS in the wild was a dream came true.
As a Spanish speaker I still had no trouble that the tour was in English as most of us were from the most diverse countries, which was so enlightening specially since I came as a solo traveler... it was so much fun, maybe also I was extra lucky with the gang I ended up with or who knows, it was simply great.
Our guide Freddy was very receptive to our comments and provided amazing stories that I will cherish alongside all the videos and photos we took from all animals. Gori our cook was the best having us all regaining energy and enjoying amazing dishes that catered all tastes, for all of us who were meat lovers or veggies, spice addicts or not, full bellies left the table everyday, never a single lunch box, we saw some other groups with less food.
Most of our group didn't drink but we had beer and wine available, cola, juice and water. I hate camping and haven't done it since I was a kid yet I seriously loved doing it in the wild, I took hours to take photos of the milky way in Serengeti and got to listen to so many stories as we also got to meet other groups with their own experiences. I cannot fully put in words how I feel, just want to appreciate all the work and attention from the first message to Anita, who was honest and explained every detailed asked. I firstly made contact through safari bookings and she replied quite fast or so I remember.
I appreciated so when she pointed that one of the ideas I had for my safari was non realizable, she told me why and offered me alternatives which was super professional (other agencies I briefed, were non transparent and were sweet talking me). That single detailed took me to book with her; all feedback before the trip was correct, every single thing promised (accomodations before and after safari, airport transfers,...) Were hold true and we even received more than what was on the brochure. The price was unbeatable considering all little things, I actually feel I saved money.
So nothing extra, just how we all loved Godlisten our transfer guide, how happy we were and forever will be for this experience to happen, and my fair and honest reccomendation towards Anita and crew. Will be back and will bring you some Spanish and Mexicans with me (we might ask extra spicy food tho... :) Enrique
P.s. I did also reviewed on other web but can voucher for my every single word, gracias por leer esto
