Amazing Safari Experience
It was our first safari ever. It was an extraordinary and exciting experience. special thanks go to Charles who guided us with care and experience through the main parks (Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro). With him we saw all the "big five" including the rhinoceros and the leopard (very rare to spot) as well as all the other animals of the savannah. The animals were so close to the car and could be admired meticulously, crazy! A special thank you goes to Bonifacie, our personal chef who prepared all the meals with care and dedication. Everything was delicious (his soups were delicious). A very kind person. Obviously all this would not have been possible without the perfect organization of Oscar. From the first conversations we had the feeling that he was the right person to rely on. So it was! Precise, punctual, we didn't have to think about anything, just enjoy the safari. Wonderful experience, one of those holidays that leave their mark. We will definitely be back!

Absolutely perfect and full of knowledge.
We have just finished our ‘5-Day Mid Range Group Joining Tour’ for our Honeymoon. From the minute we booked we had great communication with Gift and Mousebird, every question was answered promptly and helped us feel more relaxed. Saidi was our driver for the first 4 days where we explored Tarangire National Park, Central Serengeti, Serengeti National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater. Saidi had abundance of knowledge and facts for us along the way, for example explaining the origin of the parks names and what they mean in English. He was also an excellent driver who didn’t drive as fast as some of the other vehicles, which meant you had a much higher chance of spotting the animals what were more hidden. On the final day we had Jonathan as our driver for the Lake Manyara National Park. Jonathan was exceptional as well as Saidi the only down side was we didn’t get to spend as much time with him. They are both amazing guides, full of experience and very good at spotting animals. We both felt like we got really good value for money. We had a hot lunch provided every day which was delicious, plenty of water and amazing accommodation. On our first and last night we stayed at the Kankari Lodge, located on the outskirts of Karatu town. This lodge was absolutely perfect with stunning views, amazing staff and great food. On the second night we stayed at the Kontiki camp located in Central Serengeti. This camp was pure luxurious and beautiful in every way, the food was amazing and it had excellent WiFi in all areas. On our third night we stayed at the Ang’ata Ngorongoro Crater again this camp was absolutely stunning, the staff went above and beyond for you. They even put hot water bottles under our quilt whilst we had our evening meal to make the bed nice and warm. On our 5 day Safari we managed to see 4 of the animals from the Big 5 the only one we didn’t mange to see was a Leopard. We did however come extremely close to spotting one on our last day in the Lake Manyara National Park, 2 other vehicles were parked up and the car to the side of us could see the leopard. Due to the amount of bushes and trees meant our vehicle couldn’t quite see it. However I managed to sneak a look through there camera as they photographed it. All in all it was an amazing experience and the perfect honeymoon we could of wished for. I have ask my sister who has a blog called She Might Be to post a more in depth review of our tour including what we we would recommend and any tips we found out. We both would highly recommend Mousebird Safaris. Once again we would like to thank all involved.

Well organised trip
As i was travelling alone, Alytexx organised my airport pick up, all accommodation and to join a safari tour with a 3rd party.
The tour had between 5&8 people in the van, 8 was too many and uncomfortable edpecially for trying to take photos.
Accomodation was generally good although food was always buffets & mixed quality & i ended up with a very upset tummy.
Ali was helpful and went to the Airport to collect my bag, which had been misplaced by BA, and got it safely too me with support from our driver.

The guide was enthusiastic and knew how to make the experience enjoyable. The activities were grea!
I met an another group at the safari lodge and they mentioned that they booked the safari by parts meaning they didn’t purchase a package. It turns out the safari total package that I purchased vs buying individually (driver, hotel, and park fees) was cheaper. My guide picked me up from my hotel in Nairobi and brought me to the lodge, was my tour guide and brought us back to Nairobi. I went to Masai Mara Sopa Lodge and lake Nakuru Sopa Lodge. They both had their pros and cons. I recommend you try multiple camps to receive the best experience. Masai Mara had a lot of cats and the Masai people. A group member lost his passport right before the safari and I was able to call the tour operator on the way to the first lodge and she mentioned it is okay and told me not to worry. Basically the tour operator was reachable during the safari and the cell and data service throughout the safari is good.

Edison was always prompt and polite when emailing and provided everything asked for.
For us going to Rwanda was a step into the unknown - But what an experience - Let’s start with the country so green and clean - Lovely to see smiling children as they walked to school. Lots of ticks - Now for the reason of the trip - The Gorilla trek was awesome and seem a lot of money - But having experienced would pay more to see these amazing creatures and no barriers - in hindsight we should have done the Chimps and Golden Moneys first - Then on to Abegera National Park- The boat trip on the lake is brilliant and we now wish it had been longer - On the trip around the park we were fortunate to see the big five during our six hour experience - The night before we had done a night game drive - These are always good. For us good value for money - Plus we saw Silverback and baby - Then a number of other Gorillas.

Out of this World!
Had an epic experience of nature with family. We were brought close to the wild experience which left us fully indulged in the African culture. Saw all sorts of animals including Lions feasting on a Buffalo. Enjoyed our last supper with drums and dancing activities. Our guide called Anorld made Victoria falls fully accessible that we got to see both the rural and town community. I would recommend 👍

Wonderful gorilla safari
Asked them for a last minute gorilla safari, as I was crossing the area during my trip. They did it very fast (2 days between meeting and safari), and the safari itself in Mgahinga is so wonderful.

Really professional
We enjoyed a 5-day adventure with Marhaba Escape Safari and adored every moment! Our safari experience was unparalleled, observing the Big 5 and numerous other species, staying in extraordinary lodges, savoring delicious hot lunches, and even experiencing a picturesque breakfast amidst the Ngorongoro landscape, encircled by zebras!

The service is good and the price is reasonable.
Our guide Raymond is great. I took a lot pics about animals, including the big five. The iternary is well designed. For me, the two days in masaai mara and the half day at Hell's gate national reserve are unforgettable. Highly recommend the mountain bike riding at Hell's gate, it's awsome!

Fantastic experience
Fantastic experience, we were for 4 days and guys took us to see Taragire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Places were amazing and we've seen a lot of animals in their natural habitats. Othuman and guys were very helpful and took a really good care of us, cook was driving with us, food was delicious, we had some nice talks and a lot of fun. Safari with Kanje Grand Tours and time spent together was worth every penny :). Many thanks guys for having us :)
