Amazing experience
Just finished a 5 day hike to the summit of Mount Kenya in Kenya.
It was organized by Equitorial Star adventure & safaris, a Nairobi based company. Its owner Mr. Duncan has been truly amazing in organizing this hike. From first quick response to always communicating in a timely manner to picking me up at the airport and organizing the 4 person crew accommodation me up to the summit safety, Mr. Duncan and his company has been nothing but inspiring and helpful.
The hike itself was conducted in a safe and considered way where head guide Juma always looked out for his crew and I.
Safety first.
Sam the cook dished up some delicious local meals, Paul and Ben always was helpful and eager to help out when needed like setting up tent and bring hot tea.
Overall I can highly recommend booking any kind of tours with Equitorial Star adventure & safaris.
10 out off 10.
Thank you for an awesome trip.

Amazing safaris mainland and astonishing Zanzibar
Safari (3 days) :
- Ngorongoro : it is a must. Incredible 1 day experience (1 day is enough)
- Tarangire : great park (we stayed 1 day there (I think 1 day may be enough as well)
- Manyara : good as well (1 day is enough)
Would have liked to do Serengeti for several days. Maybe in the future.
--> Doing a safari in Tanzania was the best experience of my life so far. Many thanks to Samora Explorers.
Zanzibar :
- Amazing beaches with really high water sea temperature
- Turtles, dolphins, sea turtles. For all these, be careful with the company you choose. Make sure it respects and protects the environment
- Very nice hotel (Pongwe Bay Resort)
- Met really nice people (tour guides, people at the hotel, etc.)
- Lots of negotiations to do for everything you do (tours, souvenirs, etc.)
- Be careful if you rent a car. Maybe it's better to go with a guide / taxi driver like we did the last days. They can come to your hotel and be your guide for the day
- Very good sea food
Overall we felt safe in Tanzania but we never went outside at night for example.
Thank you Tanzania 🇹🇿❤️

The great park ever

Great experience
Make sure to take with you a daily dust mask with exhalation valve. Check with your driver tiolet stops in advance as in some places you won't be able to get out of the car.
Excellent efficient exceptional tour guide.very lively
I visited Nairobi National park. Was well attended to. Communication was good. The rates were so affordable it was worth it. The tour was very much exiting. We I saw different animals and birds. I loved watching the rhinos at a very close range. Oh and not to forget the monkey that almost snatched my lunch. I recommend Royal Star Expeditions a thousand times

Professional, efficient, and a smooth adventure from start to finish
Irene was very efficient and supportive from the moment she sent the quote to the moment I returned home; she was always available to answer any questions and ease any doubts or concerns. The whole journey was incredibly smooth, from being picked up to the airport, going to the camp, Lake Nakuru and then back to the airport; the drivers were professional, knowledgeable and were always willing to answer any questions. The adventure itself was spectacular, with such experienced drivers, we were able to see some spectacular sights, the highlight being able to witness a pride of lionesses hunt.
The “budget camp” was better than expected - the tent had a comfortable double bed, with a mosquito net draping over it, as well as a fully functional bathroom. Although there was electricity in the tents, the camp did not have wifi. The food, despite being limited in choice, was always good quality, and the staff were incredibly kind and helpful. The atmosphere was peaceful and relaxed.
The visit to the Masai village was an eye-opening experience, and it was an honour to share their culture. After mentioning that I was a teacher, they invited me to tour the local school too. The hospitality demonstrated by everyone was genuine.
I had an amazing time on this four day safari and would highly recommend this experience.
