Kenya Tulia Safari Holiday Arcade was helpful in answering all of my questions along the way!
I had an excellent experience with Kenya Tulia Safari Holiday Arcade. Ruphina was my point of contact and was always prompt and thorough in communication. This was my first safari experience, and Ruphina made it easy to work through all of my questions. Additionally, I had some last minute changes and requests that were all managed with kind flexibility. Overall, I found Kenya Tulia Safari Arcade to be an excellent choice that provided great value for the cost and was thorough in communication to ensure the safari went smoothly.

Great experience
We had a 8 days tour around Masai Mara, Amboseli, Tsavo and lakes Naivasha and Nakuru. Everything was smooth and well organized, our guide, John, was prepared and fun, always punctual, and he knew everybody, which is always a good thing since since everything is possible in Africa if you know the right people :-)
The lodges/camps selected were all good despite the fact that we booked last minute and the transfers were organized conveniently.
In short, we had a great time there.

Leisuredeals Tours and Safaris made our first visit to Kenya an unforgettable experience!
Leisuredeals Tours and Safaris organized an exceptional 14 day tailor-made Kenyan adventure for us. Our guide, Felix, was incredibly knowledgable and answered all our questions. He provided thorough and fascinating explanations about each animal we encountered. His ability to answer every question we had demonstrated his deep expertise and passion for wildlife. The sunrise hot air balloon ride was amazing! Highly recommended!

Excellent Trip. Excellent Company.
I have been on many safaris in the past 30+ years in eight different countries in Africa. Dana Tours rates at the top. They arranged spot on accommodations at memory making spots. They provided guides that were professional, careful, knowledgeable and intuitive. It is very important for safari guides to not only know where the animals are but also know where the animals are going and situate the vehicle for the best overall viewing and photographic experience. Our guide from this company did this. Besides all of this, the owner, Daniel, was very helpful and always quick to answer any question we had while planning the trip.

Amazing trip of a life time, saw so many amazing animals and really enjoyed the experience
Sox and his team were so accommodating. We went with a group of seven and had the most incredible time. We did the 12 day mobile camping Safari and saw so many incredible animals. Sox and his team had the most delicious food (3 meals a day and 2 snacks). Making camping in the wilderness, feel luxurious. I could not recommend this holiday enough so much fun.
Could not recommend enough!!

Amazing Safari Experience!
We had an amazing time on our safari with Serengeti Green! While planning the trip, Davies was very communicative. He always responded quickly and answered all our questions. He met us at the airport and introduced us to our guide, Modi. Modi was incredible! There are no guarantees of what you’ll see on a safari but Modi worked very hard to ensure we saw the Great Migration, the Big Five, and so many other animals! He was very knowledgeable and taught us so much about the country, culture, and animals. Serengeti Green did a wonderful job planning all the details of our amazing trip from our safari to relaxing on the beach in Zanzibar!

Everything as was planned
On Saturday 20 we made a one day trip to Pilansberg, we were a group of 16 people and everything was perfect.
At the beginning I asked Rickus related to trip, logistics, foods, recommendations etc etc. And he was always there to respond quickly and efficiently.
We really enjoy the day and the best thing was that no one has to be worried about everything because all was already coordinated.
Thank you Rickus and your team for this unforgettable adventure.

Fantastic safari and beach holiday with African Big Cats Safaris
We had a really fantastic 5 day safari with African Big Cats followed by a few days relaxation in Zanzibar. Our safari was very well organized, the accommodation and food were very good and, most of all, we had a very knowledgeable and experience guide, Haruna, who was able to ensure that we saw all the Big 5, plus Cheetahs and other varied wildlife. Haruna was always reliable and polite and our vehicle was cleaned at the end of every day. We booked directly with African Big Cats, which represented very good value for money. They were very helpful during the booking process, providing detailed information on our tour and accommodation, and clearly answered any questions that we had. We would highly recommend this tour operator.

Great safari with Beacon Safaris
Thank you, Beacon Safaris for a wonderful experience - with special thanks to Kenneth who was our driver/guide, Robert (who helped to plan and coordinate the entire trip) and various staff who picked us from the airport.
We are a multi-generation family group with 3 elderly (but sprightly fit) grandparents on a 5-days Kenya safari. We consulted with many friends who are based in Kenya for recommendations for reliable and cost effective safari operators, but in the end, we are lucky to find Beacon Safaris through Safaribookings.com who provide an easy way to search and obtain quotes from 3 operators.
During our trip, I was able to observe and compare the different companies that are active in the lodges and during game drives, and I can safely say that Kenneth/Beacon is easily among the best. With his superior experience, quality of vehicle, local knowledge and excellent relationships with the hotel/camps as well as the park authorities, we experienced minimal hassle/waiting time and were able to navigate more fully around the parks and see more animals. Very often, we were the only vehicle in wide open spaces looking at wild life while other vehicles/operators were mainly bunched up around known big game sightings. We are glad we opted for the Landcruiser as we observe that the visitors using the vans suffer from limited mobility and poorer sight lines.
We feel lucky having Kenneth as our guide/driver. I notice he commanded a lot of respect from other drivers who often sought his advice. At one point, we ran into a blockade due to civil unrest. Demonstrating resourcefulness and local knowledge, Kenneth was able to locate us a secure compound for an unplanned rest stop. Later, he found a detour using a back country road and led us and another vehicle through to the camp.
Maasai Mara is wonderful when we were there with the great migration in full swing with more animals than recent years. We stayed in Maisha Mara which has good quality rooms, food and facilities. Overall, they have the best guest service. One downside is that its 15 minutes from the National Park entrance. At Lake Nakuru, we stayed at the Sopa Lodge Lake Nakuru. At Amboseli, we were placed at the Kibo Camp. Both locations are well-chosen, well-run and have lovely staff. One scope for improvement would be to request for the rooms closer to the dining areas for groups with elderly guests.
Robert from Beacon Safaris was helpful and responsive in communications. I was coordinating amongst various family members and require plenty of forward information and assurance, but eventually everything fell into place. Robert helped to organize a vehicle for half-day excursion for the family in Nairobi - which we enjoyed tremendously - a quick trip around downtown, national museum, excellent meal at Cultiva (highly recommended) in Karen and a tour of the Karen Blixen House.
We are already recommending Beacon Safaris and Kenneth to our friends who are considering a Kenyan safari.
