3 parks in 4 days: Exolorer Kenya did an awsome job, both, before and during the trip
We booked a private 4-day safari from Mombasa (Diani Beach) in a Toyota Landcruiser. We made the booking online and the communication with the Explorer Kenya office was precise and smooth.
Our aim was to get to know three different parks and three lodges. Our driver, Mwaruma, picked us up at the hotel punctually at 7 a.m. and we first went to Tsavo West. The journey took over 7 hours, but we already learned a lot about the country and its people on the way. On arrival, we had a quick lunch and set off on our first game drive. After the game drive the following morning, we continued to Amboseli Park with fantastic views of Mount Kilimanjaro. Mwaruma has a very good eye for spotting animals and was always ready to answer questions or organize the drive according to our wishes. From Amboseli, we took a long dirt road over to Tsavo East Park the following day. Here, too, there was only time for a quick lunch before we set off on the game drive. After the morning game drive on day 4, we headed back to Diani Beach.
The trip was admittedly a little exhausting, but we not only enjoyed the game drives and the different lodges, but also the many different impressions during the trip. Thank you, Mwaruma, it was great!

the scenery was beautiful, but the overall experience was average
We joined a sharing tour of mid-range accommodation for 6 days safari to Masai Mara, Naruku, and Amboseli. The safari was fun, but it was below expectation.
Highlights:
1. Before the day of safari, they picked us up at Nairobi airport on time, and helped us to buy the SIM card outside the airport.
2. During the days in game drive, the guide tried his best to find more animals. We saw the big five in different parks.
3. Jambo Mara lodge for the first and second nights was pretty good and satisfying.
Lowlights:
1. At the first day of safari, they asked us to wait for the pick up form hotel at 6:30am, but we waited until 7:30am. During the waiting time, no one told us where the driver was.
2. Before we booked the tour, the agent said 5 to 6 people sharing a car each and person getting a window seat, but we were 8 people in a minivan and some of us should be seated at the middle seat.
3. During the days, we got 1L of drinking water a day for each person, but sometimes only 500ml of water. (There’s no drinking water in the camp, so we didn’t have enough water for some days)
4. About the food. At the third night in Naruku, the dinner in the hotel gave each person only 3-4 pieces of meet and little vegetables. At the fourth night in the camp, the food of the restaurant had run out in 10 minutes after they served it. In addition, we had the same lunch boxes for 4 days. (At the third day of lunch, we had the same lunch box, but who booked for budget tour had a buffet inside the rest area.)
5. The most disappointing thing is the accommodation.
*(1) At the third night in Naruku, the light bulb burned in the first room we stayed, and there were no water in the sink in the second room.
*(2) At the forth and fifth nights in Amboseli, it was a nightmare. There was more than 50 mosquitoes in the room, and even like 10 mosquitoes in the tent. We asked for the help to the staff and the travel agent, but no one was trying to solve the issue for two days. The camp shut down the electricity after 22:30pm, but no one informed us about it. There was no hot water or even warm water in the room for showers. There was almost no signal in the area, and the wifi of the camp was not working at all. We saw someone was complaining about the camp on Google Maps, but everything is still the same.
6. At the last day, the driver dropped us off at the Namanga border around 10am, but we wait until 13:00pm for the bus to Arusha. During the time we were in the border, the agent who helped us to pass the checkpoint asked us to give him more money to buy the SIM card for us, and even took our lunch box with him to ask for additional tips.

Amazing experience
Thank you so much to Axis, our driver Jack and Cynthia for my Safari trip in Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru!
The communication beforehand was excellent and Cynthia answered all my questions. I opted for the Landcruiser option and I’m very glad that I did! It was expertly driven by our fantastic driver Jack who navigated the roads and helped us spot most of the Big 5 and lots of other wildlife whilst telling us interesting facts about them. He was patient and allowed time for pictures but also timely.
I think this trip was really good value for money and I would recommend it to others!

1-day tour experience was very good
We joined a 1-day private tour to Tarangire national park. The travel agent was really kind and helpful.
Before the day we started the tour, they asked us if we arrived Arusha safely. At the day of safari, they came to our hotel to pick us up before the scheduled time and waited for us.
During the game drive, the driver tried his best to find various animals. The lunch box we had in the park was really good, and the agent prepared enough drinking water for us, too.

Amazing Safari Experience
Embarking on a trip with Ramble Africa Safaris was an absolute delight! From breathtaking landscapes to captivating cultural experiences, every moment felt tailor-made for discovery. Our guide Victor was not just knowledgeable but a true storyteller, bringing each location to life. The adventure took me on an incredible journey through Maasai Mara's vast savannas, where I witnessed the mesmerizing wildlife. Lake Nakuru's vibrant birdlife left me in awe, and the majestic elephants of Amboseli against the backdrop of Mount Kilimanjaro created unforgettable moments. Each destination was a unique slice of East Africa's natural wonders. What sets Ramble Africa Safaris apart is their commitment to creating not just a tour but a genuine connection with the destination. It's more than a trip; it's an immersive experience that lingers in your memories. I highly recommend Ramble Africa Safaris

Perfect experience
Kimgoni has organized a perfect trip for us. Thanks to their experience, they customized our trip to fit with the seasonal migration (at this time of the year Ngorongoro Ndutu was amazing with many many different animals). The lodges they chose were also amazing. Sleeping in the middle of the wild life is a fabulous experience! We recommand Kimgoni with eyes closed.

Don't hesitate to choose Judith.
I love Judith!
She's the best travel consultant I've ever had.
Traveling to Africa is a big decison for most people, so make sure you find a reliable partner. Judith is a reliable, professional consultant. It took me a month to prepare for this trip, and Judith was always ready to answer my questions and solve my problems.
After the official start of the trip, she actively contacted us every day to confirm our safety and make arrangements for our next step. I achieved almost every goal on this trip to Africa, thanks to Judith for everything she arranged for us.
If I have friends who want to travel to Tanzania，I would not hesitate to recommend Judith and kojuu to them.

Promised More Than Delivered
It is my opinion that this tour operator has been adversely impacted by Covid and has had some challenges since. The staff was very cordial and well informed and made our Safari experience special however many aspects of the trip were not as represented or not delivered.

Friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating.
Our trip was truly an incredible experience for our family, that we will never forget.
All of our needs were catered for and we got to see and experience everything we wanted to.
We had many highlights on our journey including the visit to the Rhino Sanctuary and the boat ride along the Nile.
Overall a memorable and enjoyable 3 days.
