Very pleased with our trip, terrific wildlife viewing and were looked after well by our guide- Amos
There were four of us in our group. In the lead up to our trip our emails were always answered promptly. The trip delivered on all that it promised. We did a camping safari and were well looked after. Food was good and plentiful.
Would recommend to others and if we ever returned to Tanzania, we would definitely consider using this company again.

A lifetime experience
I organized a 3days safari with Lenchada Safaris in Amboseli at Kimana Camp. My experience with the agency was amazing, they always replied to my e-mail giving me all information needed and they were on time for picking us up. Everything has been as it was described. What made it unforgettable was Evans, our driver, a man who loves his job who shared this love with us. We felt home in the middle of the savannah. Kimana camp is also good, clean spaces, hot water and electricity even in the lodges for the whole day (I did many safaris and it’s not like this everywhere). Good food and wonderful people. Thanks Lenchada and moreover ASANTE SANA AMBOSELI !

Skywide Tours were very efficient, helpful and prompt with email responses.
We were very happy with the service that we received from Skywide Tours. From the first email all our questions and concerns were answered promptly. Skywide Tours were able to book our whole trip which included Victoria Falls, Zanzibar, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania Safari, Maasai Mara Safari and Nairobi. It was very helpful that one company could handle all our travel needs. We dealt with Peter Muthike and he was very helpful with arranging our trip to our requirements, as we were on a budget. I'm sure we must have driven him mad with all the changes and additions to our trip, but he was always very positive and helpful in his responses. The whole trip went without any problems. There was always a car to pick us up at airports and hotels. The Safaris were excellent. On the Tanzania Safari with Antelope Safaris we saw the big 5! The Maasai Mara safari was also wonderful. We only saw 3 of the big 5, but not for lack of trying by our driver/guide. Our accommodation was 3* due to our budget. All the permanent tented camps and lodges that we stayed at were clean and comfortable, with lovely staff and unique locations. Always pack a torch as the camps run on generators and the power is only on from 6pm-10pm and in the morning 6am - 8am! It was wonderful that Peter and David from Skywide Tours took time out to come and meet us in Nairobi, where their office is. We highly recommend this company for your tours and safaris in Africa.

A unique experience
Taking the tour with Bison Safaris is the best I could do. The closeness and concern of Maggie for us to have the PERFECT TRIP was EXCEPTIONAL! A trip made to our measure. Wilson our driver, THE BEST! He knew the parks and roads better than anyone and his Spanish was very good. If I had to repeat it I would do it without hesitation with Bison Safaris! I'm very happy. MANY THANKS TO MAGGIE AND WILSON!

Exceptional Service with unparalleled level of attention to detail
Clyde at TailorMade Africa really takes the time to get to know you on personal level. Only once he's done that, he's able to recommend the right trip with the right budget. I highly recommend him. He has surpassed all my expectations every time i book with him. It is a real pleasure dealing with him as he is very responsive and knows the industry very very well. He even knows most of the game rangers that are on my trip! & i've been to many countries in Africa!! a rare gem!

A wild ride through the African Safari above and beyond expectations!
I and my family (mom, dad, and brother) went on safari through the Okavango Delta in Botswana in June 2018. Our tour guide was Isa Jackson. Isa was an amazing tour guide for his knowledge of the land, animals, and history. He was always cheerful and accommodating. More so he was excited to be on the safari no matter how many times he must have taken the same trip. He was always looking for the best possible experience and photo ops. The crew on the trip was awesome! They cooked, cleaned, set up the tents, brought hot water bottles, made the fires, all with professionalism and happiness. Everyone was a delight on the trip which made experiencing the wild life and nature all the more enjoyable. Extremely Wild Safaris made my experience unforgettable.

Thank you for the tour. Everything worked good. The driver (Kassim) was very nice and helpful. (Hopefully he had a good time as well.) During the tour some of the acitivies did not work out. For example the boat tour on Lake Mburo was skipped. But that did not matter at all. I did see so many things. Was lucky with lots of the animals. The hotels were good too. A lot better than expected. Thank you again.

Review about Masai Mara National Reserve by Steen Jeberg
The Masai Mara itself is exciting to drive around and it is amazing with the big scene and big flocks of animals. We saw all animals including the big five.

Experience of a lifetime
I have been back 2 weeks and I'm already thinking about how I can save to go back to Kenya! When deciding to go on my first-ever safari, I chose the Maasai Mara because it is supposed to be the best for big cat viewing. It was a lucky decision, because Kenya has SO much more to offer. The scenery, and the chance to sit and watch elephants walk by very closely with just the sound of their tromping and chomping and no other vehicles in sight, was just one among many unforgettable moments.
We stayed in a budget tent camp which suited us well, because we were able to put the savings to a private safari (rather than a group tour) and the accommodations were better than expected! We had flush toilets, a comfortable bed, and zebras eating right outside our tent every night. The camp also was very accommodating to my dietary needs (I'm a vegetarian). The Maasai Mara is an amazing magical place, our tented camp overlooked part of it so we could see giraffes and wildebeests as as we pulled in.
Last but certainly not least, our safari guide MADE our experience. Although at other times interacting with various businesses catering to tourists I felt very much an outsider/a potential customer, our guide spent 4 days with us and treated us like friends. He was also extremely knowledgeable about Kenya's history, animal behavior, and conservation needs.
This was my first safari (but certainly not my last). My travel partner had been to South Africa and enjoyed it, but she said our Kenya trip was 8X better! The all-day private game drives, the amazing interactions with so much wildlife, and the knowledge and warmth of our guide made the difference for her.
