Its hit and miss - and the big five are no way guaranteed
Crowd: It's the year of Corona and the crater is not too crowded these days. At one picnic site, there were about 15 cars for lunch - throughout the park we never saw more than two other cars.
Wildlife: Obviously it was a quite unlucky day, because everyone else seems to have the best wildlife experiences here. We saw one pack of lion very very far away (barely detectable with good binoculars), no other cats, no rhino, one elephant hiding deep in the bush, a few smaller herds and ostriches.. so its no way guaranteed to see anything here. It was a normal day, not too windy, a bit cloudy, in the middle of dry season. There was no obvious reason why there was nothing around, but you have to accept it's just nature. But after a day like that I really don't get the hype.
Scenery: The scenery is very unique though and the views into the crater made the day.

Fun, adventure, organised, safe
Myself and my husband went on a private tour of Kenya to three Safari destinations with James Magi. He was brilliant! He made us have a safe, fun and exciting trip. We loved Amboseli for the food and views of Kilimanjaro and of course the animals which were wandering around in ther natural habitat. Then James drove us to Lake Nivasha/Nakuru to see the flamingos and White Rhinos especially. We had to look very hard to find the rhinos but James never fails! After there, we drove to Masai Mara which really was exciting to see the vastness and the rest of the big 5. Cats!!! It was such an adventure!! James did his very best to make our trip so memorable and flawless! We had a great last evening in Nairobi, visiting the giraffe sanctuary where we fed the giraffes and later we went for amazing food in Carnivore restaurant. Really! This was an amazing Safari trip! We thank you so much!

Professional and smooth
I went with this operator to Samburu and stayed at the Sarova Shaba lodge.
Thanks to them it has been a wonderful experience for my first safari ever.
Ibtruly appreciated the sympathy of our guide James and the possibility to run the booking through whatssap.
They allowed my to pay a bit less but considering the service and the experience I should have payed more.

I would highly recommend Friendship Adventure to anyone looking to have an unforgettable trip!
I have just finished amazing 10 days of safari in Claws of Africa .This was my first safari experience in Africa! Everything was wonderful, much better than what I expected! The tour was very well organized Claws of Africa. Thanks it was even a better experience. My driver and guide was brilliant, this man is a legend, has a lot of knowledge, excellent English, very friendly and took care of everything what I needed! At first I would like to say thank him for his personal qualities: responsibility, courtesy, extraordinary intelligence and readiness ,secondly for his high qualifications such as preparedness, extensive knowledge and rich experience. Best experience and the best tour guide! I would highly recommend Claws of Africa to anyone looking to have an unforgettable trip!
Fahamu safaris did the best!
We booked the safari 2 days before the trip and even in a short notice, they did amazing job. They were so organized. We received all the necessary information before we started the trip and we had the best experience in our lives during this trip. Our guide Frank was more than a guide, he was a company and a friend during the safari. He had such a great knowledge about the habitat and all the animals and an amazing sight. We chased for adventures :) the hotel was really clean and comfortable, within the savannah and we were exactly within the nature. Everything was above our expectation! Thanks again

Mobile safari 10 days
We took a safari in July 2021, 2 cars, 4 people each.
Overall, I liked the organization of the camp and the service.
Monametsi quickly solved all the problems that arose during the pandemic. And despite the general lockdown (it was announced 3 days before the arrival of my group), we were able to visit all the parks that were indicated in our tour. These are Savuti, Kwai, Okavango Delta, Kalahari and the island of Cubu.
I'm going to do at least one more tour with this company.

Truly lovely caring and professional employees!
What a wonderful experience of a lifetime! Ker & Downey OUTDID themselves. I ALWAYS felt safe and in great hands by being in touch with a professional caring group of people. The lodgings at each camp were welcoming with loving, joyful staff and ALL of our needs (if any) were attended to in haste. We lived in luxury!!!! A hot water bottle at our feet every night!!! Food was excellent! As I am a picky eater ALL of the chefs were sooo accommodating I just loved them! As for our guides and seeing beautiful Kenya landscape and wildlife.....couldn't have asked for more. We saw ALL the animals we could ever have hoped for....each guide said HOW LUCKY WE WERE and I totally agree! I would go back in a heartbeat and HIGHLY recommend Ker & Downey Africa to anyone!

Great experience for any travellers, great service and unforgettable moments!
4 days trip is just about right if you don’t want to stay too long in a car but you also want to see as much as possible. We Visited Serengeti, Ngoro Ngoro and Tarengeri, all parks highly recommend and all are totally different so you won’t get bored at all! We counted more than 40 species we saw and thanks to our guide Lucas we got to know a lot about them. He was very professionally prepared and knew everything about the animals.
The food was great, the best was the hot meal during the safari, when other had lunch boxes. If you like to eat well - recommended!
If you like to get African experience choose tents - the they are cheaper but don’t expect hot water and other amenities. Take some additional snacks / drinks as you rather won’t buy them on the camping side or on the way.
Comfy cars with good view for everyone, very experienced and good driver so generally highly recommended!!!

Unforgettable and overall amazing experience
Ute from Roho Ya Chui has fully organized already two trips to South Africa for our family and they both could not have been more perfect and seamlessly organized. Both trips were truly an unforgettable experience, thanks to Ute and her thorough and first-hand knowledge of several game reserves, her attention to detail and respect for our preferences. She crafted a truly amazing and personalized experience for us each time. She answered all our questions and almost daily emails from us preceding each trip and kept us perfectly updated on any news (we especially valued this, as our second trip was during the COVID pandemic). Each time we truly enjoyed ourselves and had amazing sightings, seeing the Big 5 multiple times, and we felt very safe and taken care of throughout both the planning stages of the trip and during the trip itself. We truly cannot wait to visit Africa with the help of Ute and Roho Ya Chui again!
