Wild Planet Safari was an excellent experience!!
We had a beautiful experience with Wild Planet Safaris. Booking the tour was easy-Ryan was very open and easy to communicate with. For our guides we had Anton and Lungi. Anton was very knowledgeable about the animals and knew where to go in the park. Lungi was an excellent cook and animal spotter-he spotted a leopard across the way (I would have never caught it on my own) which made my day-probably the most beautiful animal I have ever seen in the wild! My dad made it a game to try and spot an animal before Lungi did-needless to say, Lungi always won haha. We are also very very lucky to have seen the wild African dogs! We got to see them interact with a huge family of baboons, it was absolutely wild, a once in a life time opportunity! Both of the guides made our trip very enjoyable-would definitely recommend!

too basic for my taste.
My guide and the staff at the camp were lovely and very accommodating. The highlight of the trip was visiting the local village where many of the staff live. It was primitive (no running water or electricity to the individual huts) but the women of the community was very cordial, everything was orderly and the children were quite happy. The Delta had the most amazing array of beautiful birds i’ve ever seen. It was fun to see elephants and rhinos peacefully roaming so close to the camp.
However, the accommodations were basically fixed, elevated tents. The cold running spicket and toilet were outside of the sleeping area. It had a gravity feed shower that was impossible to work, so I bathed under a faucet. There was no electricity in the tent! A small solar lamp and lantern were the only sources of lightly night.

Amazing tour and fantastic service from start to finish
My girlfriend and I recently did a 7 day camping safari in the Delta which we organised through Martin at Kingfisher Safaris. When booking some months ago, we found Martin online and were immediately impressed by his responsiveness and helpful and accommodating service in planning our trip. Once we booked our safari, Martin also assisted us in booking our own self drive camping trip in Namibia beforehand, providing some great tips and knowledge for our planning, but also making arrangements for us on the ground which meant we had the piece of mind and backup of his 'on the ground' support network. This was invaluable in making our trip efficient, practical and safe.
Our Delta safari was run by guides Charles (for 3 days) and then Pilot for the remainder. Both of them are fantastic, super knowledgeable and experienced (which you can tell by the way they are respected by other guides in the park) and are perfectionists in making the safari experience as perfect as possible. Right up to the day we started our safari, Martin was available by email to answer any question. The assistants on tour are equally helpful and friendly. We had an amazing and unforgettable experience through Kingfisher and highly recommend it. We look forward to one day hopefully being able to do it again.

BEST SAFARI FOR SOLO TRAVELER!!!!
first of, it was the best worth for the money, one of the cheapest price from the safari agencies. the safari was far beyond my expectations.
I got picked up from the airport straight after my flight, and the driver Dan was really nice and welcomed me although I was terrified because it was my first time in Africa.
and then I met with Robert (sultannnnn) , the director of the agency, he was extremely helpful and funny to talk with. (if u really want to laugh, ask him to do a little rap for u)
so lets talk about the safari itself, it was FRICKIN INCREDIBLE!!
adward (this cobra Mann) was soooo helpful, supportive and was helping me with everything I needed including planing the rest of the trip in kenya, and actually I booked another safari with them right after I finished the 3days tour.
so adward did us very long game drives was fun! he was very sharp on spotting the animals , so we got to see the BIG 5, and even the most rare animals on maasai mara like rhinos and leopard which quite hard to spot. we saw even cheetahs trying to hunt and even the river crossing!!!!
then I took 2 days private safari to Amboseli and tsavo west with bonnie (coolboy), which is so cool, funny and very easygoing. he was professional and was ready to set the safari according to my needs. In Amboseli we even saw a lot of flamingos which never ever happens.
so definitely highly recommend !!

This was the perfect experience in terms of responsiveness, knowledge and ease of working with.
The trip could not have been better. Charles at ToKenya arranged everything so we did not have to think about anything. He was incredibly responsive. When you called or sent an email he responded immediately. The accommodation everywhere exceeded our expectations. Our guides Norman in Kenya and Noel in Tanzania were so knowledgeable and knew exactly where to go to enable us to see as many animals as possible. They made the trip perfect. Ending the trip with a few days in Zanzibar was exactly the right thing to do. We spent time at the beach and pool and had a trip to a spice plantation."
I would highly recommend Bespoke African Safari. We have raveled all over the world and this has been the best trip by far.

Excellent experience throughout.
It was easy booking this tour as Blessing and Sheila communicated with us so well.
We felt ‘looked after’ from the initial booking right up until the end of the tour, which was excellent. We enjoyed the spectacular Victoria Falls and saw many animals on the safaris (including lions, elephants, hippos, giraffes, buffaloes, crocodiles, zebras, baboons, impala and many beautiful birds) which were a perfect mix of land and water based.
Muto was an excellent safari guide with a wealth of knowledge. He was punctual and reliable with a great sense of humour.
We would definitely recommend this tour.

Amazing Tour
To Kenya Tours did an incredible job creating our itinerary in Africa. We worked with Elizabeth Kilungu via email and phone during the pre-planning of our trip. She created an itinerary that was exactly what we wanted. Travel plans, flights, guides and transfers were all coordinated and taken care of. She met us in Nairobi and sent us on our way. We visited Kenya, Tanzania, Zimbabwe and South Africa. She timed out safari perfectly so we could see the wildebeests migration in the Serengeti. Every detail of our trip was carefully chosen and To Kenya's staff, guides, and drivers were the BEST! Friendly, insightful and generous of heart."

Excellent customer service!
"Trip of a Lifetime
This was our second trip through tokenya.com. Charles spent a great deal of time with us on the phone in the planning stage of our trip to Rwanda, Kenya and Egypt. He was patient and knowledgeable and took care of our airfare, lodging, meals and tour guides. The trip was amazing and everything ran like clockwork! Our guides were always punctual and shared their knowledge of the countries with us. Our lodgings were beautiful and meals excellent. We were treated like VIPs. Will definitely use Charles again for future trips!"

Great experience for a good price
I booked my 5 days safari tour including Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Hell's Gate just 2 days before the start. I requested the tour via safaribookings, got an offer really quickly, confirmed it and was ready to go.
The tour started from Nairobi with our excellent driver Kikitu , we went to the Masai Mara and saw a cheetah and lions already on our afternoon drive. The next day we spent from early morning till late afternoon in the park, went to the mara river and saw all possible animals except the rhino. The highlight were 9 lions eating a zebra. The next day we visited a masai village, which is optional and a bit too much touri show, but also interesting.
Then we started the way back and I switched the car in the middle of the way, because I had 2 days more and headed to Nakuru, while the others went back to Nairobi. The next day I did with a new small group the game drive in Lake Nakuru Nationalpark and finallly saw the Rhinos. Big 5 complete. I highly recommed to add Lake Nakuru because the chance to see Rhinos is high, while it is very low in Masai Mara.
After that also the people of the new group went back, while I came to a hotel in Naivasha.
On the last day it was only me, so I got a private tour to Hell's Gate, took a selfie with a zebra, because you can go out of the car in that park and we went through a beautiful canyon till the end to the devil's bedroom. After Hell's Gate it was also time for me to go back to Nairobi, which we reached in the afternoon.
I was very happy with the tour, the drivers and guided were all very nice and spoke good english, accomodation was okay for the price and safari experience was absolutly amazing. So if you look for a budget tour with a great safari experience, just book with Jocky Tours and Safaris.

Stole money from us!
Took our money for the tour. Said that the driver has run away with our deposit so we have to pay more. We did not pay and never got our money back. Don't choose this company!!
