2. Keep land cruiser clean by everyday and safe drive in Kenya
3. Socialized and get animal position from all source

We are lucky to find Kenya Explorer and Fransisca replied very fast and give us some advice before the trip.
非常推荐Kenya Explore地接社，回复快价格合理，司机向导Simon Peter无敌牛逼，找动物一把手，除了5霸还带我们看了超过30种动物，沟通流畅且专业。每天车子也弄的干干净净，我们第一次非洲行，感受非常好。下次来还会找Simon Peter！

EXCELLENT ORGANISATION WITH A WONDERFUL GUIDE
We chose African polecat out of so many operators, because they are owned by a local (let's support he local business). Also they gave us a really reasonably priced fly in and fly out option (they picked us up at the hotel on Zanzibar and dropped us of there) and they were quick in responses and very reliable. Feel free to check out the places to stay and communicate them to James. He will adapt the itinerary accordingly. Also feel free to say where you wish to stay for another night (we stayed in Serengeti for two nights and it was magical).
Let me say this was the best experience of my life. Of course we saw so many different animals (you cant even imagine how many) but also our guide Manfred made this trip really special. He fulfilled all our wishes and went the extra mile (literally) to give us the best experience. He was so polite and kind and funny and educated. He told us not only about the animals and nature but also about the country and its people. He trully brought Africa closer to us. We have seen the big five (all animals at least 3 times except for Rhino which we saw once). If you are abut to book a tour, ask James if Manfred could be your guide. You won't be sorry.
What I liked about our itinerary was that it included enough time to actually see all the animals and at the same time experience all of the national parks. We flew in to Serengeti and then drove towards Arusha, where we flew from at the end of our trip.
All the drinks, food and everything else was provided by the tour operator and the hotels. I would recommend Moyo tented camp (an elephant and a giraffe visited it while we were eating lunch) as it is new and not so crowded. The car was really comfortable. I would recommend to bring at least one shirt for each day as it gets sandy because of the road. Also bring some sweaters as it tends to get colder at night.

Extremely valuable budget safari
My solo African adventure with 8 days budget safari in Kenya with several different locations has been fantastic! The animals exceeded all my expectations. Just keep in mind that you can't have too high expectations in terms of accommodation, vehicles and food if you choose a budget safari, but the amount and variety of animals you get to enjoy in any case. And personally, even as a 68 years old female, I thought everything flowed really well despite that you get to mingle with other travelers in a mini van (with a pop-up roof) and might have to change both travel companions and drivers during the tour. This review is based upon MY experiences and expectations. Do your reseach and make sure to explain what your preferences are and Benson will fix it!
My tour started with two days in Masai Mara where I saw and got close to a wide range of animals. Just amazing!
Had also an overnight stay in Nakuru and a nice safari in the national park. Did a boat ride on beautiful Lake Naivasha and stayed one night in Naivasha. Continued to Amboseli with an early morning stop at Hell's gate national park where it is possible to walk or bike among the animals.
The three last nights I stayed at a surprisingly good camp for beeing on a budget safari. And there I did two full day's amazing safaries and unexpectedly got to see a cheetah and a pygmy hippo among many other species and, of course, very many elephants!
All this was made possible to a very reasonable price thanks to Benson at Tall Masai Safaries. All my communication with Benson, from my first request, the pick up at the airport as well as during and after the tour, have been absolutely 💯 percent pleasant, smooth, clear, quick, flexible and correct all the time! So happy I found just this safari agent and I will certainly use them for any other safaries in Kenya and Tanzania. Very satisfied!!

perfect safari
I am writing to express my deepest gratitude for the exceptional safari experience Z provided us and my group during our recent safaris. Fadhili and happiness’s professionalism, kindness, and unwavering commitment to ensuring our satisfaction made our trip unforgettable.
Safari by Z’s extensive experience in the safari was evident in the meticulous planning and execution of our every adventure. Fadhili was always ready with answers to our questions and insights into the rich biodiversity we encountered. His ability to adapt our itinerary to the changing routes and wildlife patterns was particularly impressive, ensuring that we had the best possible experience.
We truly appreciated happy and Fadhili’s flexibility in accommodating our requests. Safariz by Z was dedicated to providing us with a safe and enjoyable experience.
The highlight of our trip was undoubtedly the opportunity to observe and learn about the incredible wildlife. Fadhili expertise in tracking and identifying animals was exceptional, and we were able to see so many species thanks to his guidance. The memories we made are priceless, and we will cherish them forever.
We highly recommend Safari by Z and Fadhili to everyone who comes on safari in Tanzania!

It was great
Despite facing unprecedented flooding and travel challenges, Safari Adventure was incredibly supportive, providing constant assistance and problem-solving throughout our journey. The camps they recommended were fantastic, meeting all our criteria for animal sightings. However, we encountered some difficulty with the refund process when redirected to a less expensive camp due to the conditions

Very professional, success oriented, customer focused
Joseph and his team are exceptional. They made sure all of us were able to successfully climb Kilimanjaro in a safe and enjoyable manner at all times. Their support, the logistics, the entire planning process was very well done. I strongly recommend Joseph and his crew from Almighty Kilimanjaro to anyone reading these reviews planning to climb Africa’s tallest mountain.

Albert is a great guide with perfect navigation skills
We took 4 day tour for Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru. Our guide was Albert who had a good navigation of Masai Mara national park, thanks to what we could see almost all big inhabitant's of the park. A big thanks to Albert. The camp in Masai Mara was facilitated enough to accommodate you in 2-3 days. It was a tent with built in shower and toilet with hot water running all the time. Lucy and Gladyce were very welcoming and smiley hosts. Also big thanks to Morris who was in constant contact with me and took us from hotel in Nairobi to the meeting point. Overall, we had an amazing experience and recommend this tour if you want to experience safari in Kenya.

The tour guy was nice but demanded extra pay.
I booked the tour through TripAdvisor, securing it for the listed price of $85 for the 6:30 tour. However, the organizer contacted me via WhatsApp on the evening of the tour, stating he would pick me up at 6:15. Upon arrival, he proceeded to pick up other participants from a different hotel before reaching the park gate. To my surprise, he then requested an additional $45, catching me off guard. Reluctantly, I agreed to pay in cash upon our return to my hotel, complying with the unexpected demand.
To further add to the frustration, we were left waiting for approximately 40 minutes at the park gate, with no communication about the delay. Eventually, the tour commenced. My concern lies in the discrepancy between the advertised price paid online and the unanticipated extra charge in person. This unexpected financial request and lack of transparency about delays were disappointing aspects of an otherwise anticipated experience.
