Phenomenal African Safaris adventures at it best
Maggie was brilliant. She gave great suggestions and tailored an amazing itinerary for our safari. She was ever ready to respond to all our questions and emails. Our driver guide was very professional and knowledgeable. Accommodation and food in the lodges was great and the service was excellent. The game drives in the parks were the best, we got to see the big five among other wildlife and birds.

Fantastic Safaris
Our safari was excellent, from pick up at the airport to our last day. We did a 6 days safari with Bison Safaris and we had a rewarding experience. Thanks to the superb planning by Maggie and her team. The itinerary was well detailed capturing all our needs. Their attention to detail was extraordinary. James our driver guide was very helpful with spotting the animals. He indeed was very knowledgeable and professional. We got to see a pride of lions kill a zebra and tons of wildlife and birds. We left with so many memories. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect trip.

Wonderful Safari with Tall Masai
My wife and I had a wonderful holiday in Kenya. We booked a safari with Tall Masai and are sure that it was the right decision. Manager Benson helped resolve any issues 24/7, and driver Eric was very punctual and safe. The driver always had a clean car. We would like to wish the Tall Masai success in business and many clients.

The best tour ever since in my life
This march, we had a tour in the Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Mr Sudi, and his chef Mr Apollo lead us for 2days.
Mr Sudi is very cooperative. He tries his best to respond to our requires and make us feel comfortable in the wild. And he has a great sight, which can catch animals in a very long distance. Even if we are all in a sleep, he woke us up to see the animals. And for that, we were able to see almost all kinds of animals in the park. Especially, I really liked when he gave us information about the history and nature of the park, and of course his soft and gentle voice were so nice to listen.
Mr Apollo is an amazing cooker. Literally, we only expected some lunch boxes with sandwich and some fruits before the tour. But for real, we had dining courses every night. He prepares soup as a starter, meat and noodle/rice as a main, and fruits/traditional snacks as a dessert. He well cares about the balance of carbohydrate, protein, and fat. Every meal was perfect. Every time when Mr Apollo came toward us carrying his dishes, we gave him an applause. I'm 100% sure that other tables near by us were jealous of his dishes.
If someone who is reading this comment, please go straight to contact Mr Sudi. You will 100% enjoy safari with him. Lastly, I feel so thankful to Mr Sudi for giving us bright and shining memories of Tanzania. ASANTE SANA🌟
<한국인 관광객 분들을 위한 후기>
Sudi씨랑 투어하시면 후회 없을 거예요!
요구사항도 잘 들어주시고, 동물들도 잘 찾아주시고, 일정이나 시간도 잘 지키시고, 현지 문화에 대한 설명도 잘 해주십니다. 특히 Sudi씨 목소리가 좋고 엄청 귀여우세요.ㅎㅎ
Sudi씨와 함께 오시는 요리사 분 음식도 정말 맛있습니다. 사실 투어 전에는 간단한 도시락 정도 주겠거니 했는데, 매 끼니마다 레스토랑 부럽지 않을만큼 요리해주셨어요. 특히 생선, 고기 요리가 정말 정말 맛있어요! 덕분에 투어 일정 내내 간식도 사먹지 않고 지냈네요.
이 글을 읽는 한국인 분들! 꼭 Sudi씨랑 사파리 투어 가세요. 후기가 좋은 이유가 있답니다. 제가 다음에 다시 사파리를 오게 되어도 또 Sudi씨랑 함께할 거예요. Dendea 추천합니다~

Felt very safe with this excellent driver. Friendly and helpful
Shafik proved to be an excellent driver. Always made good decisions which left us feeling very safe but also got us places on time. Shafik navigated difficult terrain with impressive skill. He was very punctual, always arriving before the scheduled pick up time. He was always very polite and helpful. When on safari he demonstrated his excellent knowledge of the area and the wildlife. Good connections with other guides meant that he had access to news about sightings. Would highly recommend Shafik - we’ll definitely be using him again.

Unforgettable Safari
We had a great time on Safari. Our guide Issac knows the area inside out and was able to take us to amazing places. Our accommodations were lovely and we saw plenty of animals. Great photo ops. Having breakfast while watching Hippos was a highlight. Being a foot away from a Silverback was breathtaking. Do yourself a favor a book your unforgettable Safari today!

Very good
The Safari was great, everything was good, the driver was ensuring that we see all the big five, and he was gentle, patient with us and with our child whenever he was nervous.
The hotels were good, comfortable and especially the food was good for vegetarians and Muslim people.
Overall it was unforgettable experience 👍🏻

Didn't Deliver Purchased Safari Itinerary
Unfortunately we chose Pride of Africa (PoA) Safaris, as we believed they were an actual safari operator and they would be able to deliver the itinerary that they offered us when we contacted them by email. Sadly, they turned out to be more of a travel agent then anything. In our 10 day safari, we found ourselves pushed along from one operator to the next, as we experienced 5 different groups and 5 different guides. This created a very incohesive experience, where on occasion, lots of time was wasted and lost, and we did not get to visit all the locations and do all the drives on the purchased itinerary.
On the first day, the taxi driver who collected us from the airport affirmed that he had not been paid by PoA, when that was supposed to be included in the tour, so we paid him again. When we met Stephen, he had previously said over email that I could pay by card on arrival - but failed to be transparent about his physical card machine charging a significant fee. Considering that the safari was several thousand USD, the fee was very high. This caused quite some hassle as I walked around Nairobi to ATMs to withdraw a significant amount of cash and incurred almost as much fees in ATM transactions.
Stephen advised us there was a slight change to our itinerary. It wasn't immediately apparent what it was. It ended up being that they had downgraded one of our accommodations from a resort-type accommodation to a tented camp. Thanks to the power of the internet I could clearly see there was a price difference, so I requested they change it back to what we had purchased, which was completed.
The safari guides themselves (not PoA staff) varied significantly in customer service skill and knowledge about the wildlife. Amolo in particular was absolutely outstanding, where as Richard was somewhat short-tempered and ending up arguing with some of the tourists... which was peculiar.
We travelled all the way to the Serengeti just to do one morning drive. The itinerary suggested two days at this location. This was a result of being in placed into a school group of 14 students (who had probably paid a much lower price than we paid PoA) and there was numerous delays resulting from being in this large group. Getting into the national park alone took over two hours, due to some administrative error on all the passengers and vehicles paperwork. PoA had promised small group (max 8) safaris. They did not deliver.
Since travelling to Africa, I have held back on leaving a review. There felt like there was some discouragement to review our experience online. However, I have noticed that quite a number of Pride of Africa's online reviews are likely not genuine. This is apparent once you have travelled because you can recognise several office staff members names on review accounts, or notice that a number of review profiles have only ever left one single review. Be more careful than us. When people ask me which provider I chose in Africa, I encourage them to do their own research.
You'll have a great time if you choose wisely.
