Review about Masai Mara National Reserve by Rajiva Wijesinha
Fascinating to be there and the animals were all present, but not so easy to see given the size and also the sad state of our vehicle. The driver was young and followed the herds, so we missed out on cheetahs and rhinos, but still we did see a great deal in the short time we had.

Review about Lake Nakuru National Park by Rajiva Wijesinha
An excellent driver found us flamingoes in plenty, and we were also lucky with the white rhinos. A splendid sighting of zebras at the waterfall, plus giraffe and birds in profusion.

Review about Hell's Gate National Park by Rajiva Wijesinha
The scenery was unusual and we had a wonderful walk in the gorge, to the Devil's bedroom.

Our safari in The North was a wonderful experience
We visited Serengeti, Lake Natron, lake Manyara and ngorongoro in 6 days with Safari Makers.
I can definetely recommend them.
We traveled with our 2 sons of 8 and 10 (budget camping safari) and our guide (Hamisi) and cook (Hadji) were the best!
If you are thinking about booking a safari, book with Safari Makers!

Karibu in this beautiful country you have to visit at least once in a lifetime!
Our 3-day Safari was amazing, we saw all animals with the only exception of rhyno, which is unfortunately quite rare by now. Our guide John was great and Chris as well was so good at arranging such a lovely accomodation despite the short notice. We would strongly recommend Sun-Up Adventures, we had an amazing experience!

Untouched , Undisturbed Paradise
The wildlife and scenery are out of the world, they are more beutiful than depicted on TV or books or documentories you must see it to experience it. Weather is great in the cooler dry months, havn't experienced it in other months. Transportation can be tricky as you could get short changed with a bad vehicle ! Insist on what you paid for. Guides can be both ends excellent or casual we were lucky we got all 3 great guides Off course after bluntly refusing one after his casual attitude.
Accommodation and locations of the SERENA Lodges are superb except their showers which are cramped tight and quite an exercise to bathe !. WARNING : Once in Kenya you are hooked, you want to come again and again and again ! Which we plan to do ;) My salutes and highest recommendation of the SAFARI BOOKINGS who have done a faboulous job of honest, and easy to navigate site compiling almost all Safari operators / Tour agencies ! You are sure of a great honest deal if booking through them. Our special thanks to Mr. Martin and his wonderful team of DALLAGO TOURS who delivered a great service for us all through , you can't go wrong with them !!.

Very pleasant and I am glad that Safai Bookings gave me a wide choice of programmes and prices.
I travelled with Lenchada which offered a varied tour at a very reasonable cost, including all transportation, accommodation and food. We had a full day, plus an evening and a morning, in Masai Mara, and long mornings at Lake Nakuru and Hell's Gate Reserves. I also had a delightful boat ride on Lake Naivasha.
Rhino Camp just outside Masai Mara was a delight, and young Pixie set up a campfire early to relax before dinner. The other two lodges were also comfortable, and the food good though the general menu was very much the same everywhere.
The only drawback was a terrible vehicle for the first two days, and an inexperienced driver which made it worse, though we still saw lots of lions and elephant and giraffe. And Joshua who took over with another van for Lake Nakuru was excellent. And the flamingoes there were fantastic, as were the plentiful white rhinos.

Best safari experience!!
My boyfriend and I had an amazing time in Tanzania. We had a private 5 days safari in Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire national parks. Our drive/safari guide was most helpful and kind. His name is Balthazar and also goes by the nickname Bumpa. We got to see all the big 5 plus so much more! He got us so close to the animals that we could actually touch them (we didn't though). He is a former mechanic which is a huge plus because of all the bumby roads cars (even new ones) break down all the time! We saw plenty of broken down cars along the road. On the second day our car broke down (it was not old), the fan belt broke. He got out of the car and fixed it quickly! He is very knowledgeable about the animals in the parks. We really recommend this safari guide and company. We had 3 different chef's (for the 3 different places) and all were good. We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. It was an unforgettable experience which we strongly recommend to everyone!
Exceptional service all the way, excellent & knowledgable guides, competitive price
We received just the best service ever from eXplore Plus Travel. As opposed to their competitors, the initial quote wasn't just a single line with a price, but included flight costs, airport taxes, optional extras ie Balloon safaris and advice on tips, drinks along the way etc. This helped us tremendously with budgeting and we were able to add on a few days afterwards to relax on the beach in Zanzibar - highly recommend this!! Every hotel was described in detail with photographs and everything was exactly as they portrayed. The tour was very well organised. Your bags were delivered to your room, collected in the morning and you knew exactly what the program was.
Our guide was amazing. They use professional and experienced guides and well maintained vehicles that are washed and cleaned every day! The guides stay in touch with each other, to maximise your game viewing. We saw absolutely everything - 3 cheetahs in one day plus leopard, lion feasting on a fresh kill, rhino, elephant, zebra and wildebeest galore...including 3 crossings! What an honour to see wildlife in their natural habitat - such respect for the animals by the guides! A bucket list adventure that far exceeded my expectations and I can unreservedly recommend eXplore Plus Travel.

Incredible Safari Experience!
The Safari experience that John Ndegwa created for us was a once in a lifetime trip! John's highest priority is providing the best customer service possible and he most definitely exceeded our expectations. You can trust John to have your best interest at heart and he has a high level of integrity. We had a very knowledgeable driver (David), and we could not have been happier with our accommodations or the parks that we visited. All were quite different from each other, and each offered a magical view of the incredible beauty that is Kenya. All in all, a very well-organized, professional, high-service level and personalized experience.
We will without a doubt use Aramati Safaris when we visit Kenya again. We highly recommend using Aramati Safaris to anyone looking to have an incredible Safari experience!
