Image Travel were punctual in their communication and smoothly delivered an exceptional safari
We had an excellent experience with our safari at Amboseli, staying at the Serena lodge. Communication was smooth and punctual and our safari corresponded to what was detailed on the original offer.
Joseph, our guide and driver, was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. He advised us on the best times to spot the animals but let us decide how we wanted to schedule the drives during the day. He strived to show us all the main animals present in Amboseli and carefully planned our days to make sure that we could make the most of our time.
Serena Lodge is located in a prime spot within the park and offers excellent facilities. The room was spacious and clean and the personnel extremely helpful.

Unbelievable Experience!
I took a ten-person team on a three day safari in the Masai Mara. It was an unbelievable experience! The lodging was first rate, the guides were well-informed and the food and drink were excellent. I could not believe the wide variety of wildlife we were exposed to and how close we were able to approach them. And the view at the sundowner took your breath away. It was both personally enriching and an incredible team-building opportunity. I can't recommend Bud and Mattaw Safaris Ltd enough!

Lifetime experience
We booked 5 day safari with Suricata and it could not be better! It was one of the best experience we have ever had. Hilary and his team are doing a great job!
Night before and night after safari they booked us a lovely hotel with the most friendly staff.
From the first day we felt really comfortable and safe. Our guide Lewis and cook Hilda - they were amazing and we had so much fun. Lewis has a great knowledge and he answered every question. You can see that he loves his job. We were lucky and saw the big five, camped in the most beautiful places and ate delicious food cooked by Hilda. Everything was absolutely amazing.
After safari Hilary came to our hotel to make sure everything was fine and he organized a taxi drive for us for the next day to the airport.
Thank you very much for the amazing days we spent with you and we hope to see you again! We wish you all the best.
We recommend Suricata safari to everyone!

Amazing trip to Tsavo East
We were a big family of 9 people. ( 4 adults, 2 teens and 3 younger kids). The trip to Tsavo East with Wildlife Sun Safaris we organised before our holidays. I’ve contacted Mr. James from this company and he gave us very good price. Conversation with him passed very well. Everything was organised perfectly. The driver, who took us to Safari was very kindly and helpful. Both days in safari was amazing, we saw so many animals. Everybody from the youngest to the oldest our family member were excited. We really recommend to choose Wildlife Sun Safari agency

It was an extremely bright and breathtaking tour to Kenya wildlife which feels like fresh air.
I'd like to thank Karibu Safaris for one of the greatest experiences I've ever had. The service was just excellent: communications were open and fair; logistics, hotels/camps and food are just fine for such trip, we always had enough drinking water. The group with whom we were travelling consisted only from 5 people which was great amount to feel comfortable in the car.
But the greatest words of gratitude I'd like to say to our guide James. He is not only an extremely professional driver, but he also told us so many interesting things about country, animals and other stuff. We managed to see the Big Five with him, he always was the first among all cars to see the animals, which allowed us without any hurry to enjoy what we see. Also he was always in a perfect mood making us smile even if we slept little. And the music in the car was so good, we shazamed most of the tracks, and now this music remind me of the trip we had.
I would highly recommend James to be your next guide! He managed to surprise us all way long in the most positive way.
Only one thing I'd change. This is the order of places we visited in our itinerary. The last reservation we visited was Amboselli, and in comparison with Masai Mara it was kinda boring, as there weren't many animals, so I'd recommend to visit it first when you'r still not got used to the nature and many animals.

A choice you need to make for unforgettable kilimanjaro
Had hard time deciding which company to choose to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro, finally opted for Almighty Kilimanjaro for our 8-day/7night Kilimanjaro hike up the Lemosho route. Price was acceptable - midrange- and e-mail communication with Rasheedy(owner) clear and professional. After actual arrival to Tanzania, everything they promised they delivered, from pick up at the airport, through accommodation, to the actual climb. Each team of people was very friendly, very nice, very reliable, very professional and VERY experienced.
I cannot say enough good things about our Kili guides Joseph, Petro, Tomas and Daniel they were brilliant. Nothing was ever too much trouble and they were incredibly caring about our wellbeing and very quick to jump in and help with any problems that we had. They also never complained about the number of toilet stops a group of 8 women needed....especially when some of us were on diamox! The entire team was incredibly well organized and we couldn't have hoped for a better group of people to help us make it up the mountain. Our cooks were great and fed us incredible food the entire way - doing a fantastic job of dealing with a number of food allergies along the way. Our servers could not have been better and we will all be forever grateful for the daily bed tea and warm washing water. Our water boy Swalehe did a fantastic job keeping us all hydrated and we all loved seeing his incredible smile every meal time.
With the majority of our group being Russian, we spent a lot of time talking to our fellow trekkers. In doing this we managed to talk to other trekkers about their teams and we quickly learnt that the Almighty Kilimanjaro was far better than many of the other companies. The fact that a mess tent was set up for virtually every meal and a hot meal provided was a real bonus - especially as we watched our fellow travelers eat cold toasted sandwiches perched on a rock in icy conditions. The fact that the guides kept our group together, walking at a slow but consistent pace with one guide at the front and another at the rear also helped us achieve our goal....whilst we watched other groups walk along with no guides in sight (these same groups unsurprisingly failed to summit). On a daily basis our porters would come and greet us, take our day packs from us and lead us to our tents....these simple things meant a lot to the tired and sore trekkers. To summarize, Almighty Kilimanjaro had exceeded our expectations in every respect.
Absolutely, loved our holiday...thanks again Almighty Kilimanjaro.

Well organized and easy communication
Our Safari was amazing. An experience one should not miss out. Our driver was a very good guide who could tell us lots about animals and nature. Communication with Esther was easy going and very kind. She put us together an offer that would come up to our expectations. The accommodations were all very fine. And we had a really wonderful hearttouching time plus saw the big five.
We went to lake naivasha, lake Nakuru, Maasai Mara and Ole Pajeta. The Lodge in Sweetwater Seaview was really luxurious as for we had a tent with view to waterhole where all animals met. So in the morning at 5:30 we could see Sunrise and the wildlife from bed in our tent.

Professional, efficient and excellent communication, fulfilling all our trip requirements and more
The whole trip was absolutely fantastic. The communication with Gavin and his effort in making our trip itinerary was excellent.
The Lodges & Camps exceeded what we expected, both in standard and service and the efforts from the local staff and guides made our trip very special.
The wildlife we saw also exceeded our expectations as you can never predict what you will see.
Well done Wild Wings we will definitely book through you again in the future :)

An unforgettable feat with an amazing team
Almighty Kilimanjaro took very good care of us from the airport pickup to the top of Kilimanjaro and back. We did the 7-day machame climb. Our guides Patric and Tom were fun and professional. They went over and above to always made sure that we were comfortable and kept a steady pace during the trek. Our waiter Swalehe was attentive and accommodated our every request.
The tents were of good quality and we had a small seating area with a table inside filled with condiments. We thought we'd be sleeping on a thin camping mat so were surprised to be sleeping on a clean and comfortable mattress every night.
The food was great and plentiful we could never finish it. Expect lots of porridge, french toast and omelette for breakfast, local stews, spaghetti bolognese, and chicken, fries and salads. Our chef Dastan would always check in every night to see how we were feeling and alter the menu slightly to suit our stomachs. If you have any dietary requirements be specific about them from the start. Don't be surprised by the number of porters... for 2 pax you'll typically get; 2 guides, a waiter, a chef and around 7 porters.
The hotel before and after the trek was comfortable and has a great restaurant and pool area with a supermarket to buy snacks a 2 minute walk away.
All in all doing the trek with Almighty Kilimanjaro was a great experience and we would highly recommend this company to get you to the roof of Africa.
