They get the job done!
Julius was, without question, one of the absolute highlights of our Masai Mara trip.
His years of experience shone through in every decision he made. From perfectly timed game drives to exceptional judgment on where to position the vehicle for the best views and photographs, we always felt we were in the safest pair of hands behind the wheel, even on the toughest terrain.
When it came to spotting wildlife, Julius was nothing short of incredible. He seemed to know exactly where to find the Big Five and somehow always managed to get us the best angles without disturbing the animals. Time and again, we found ourselves with front row seats to unforgettable moments.
Beyond being an exceptional guide, Julius has a larger than life personality. His charisma is infectious, and it genuinely felt like he knew everyone we crossed paths with. I would not be surprised if there was not a soul in Kenya who did not know Julius.
And then there is his sense of humor. Hands down, he is one of the funniest people I have ever met. He had us laughing throughout the trip and made every drive memorable, even between sightings.
We came to the Masai Mara expecting to miss the lions when we left, but truthfully, we are going to miss Julius even more. If you are lucky enough to have him as your guide, your safari is already off to an incredible start.

Amazing experience
We had a really wonderful safari tour in Pilanesberg. Peter took us around the park and did a great job. He was very nice, professional, and helped us spot some amazing wildlife. It was a beautiful experience from start to finish. We highly recommend taking a tour with him.

The tour operator has WeChat, and deposit can be paid in RMB.
I took an 8‑day group safari tour with Eta Adventure Safaris. I am a solo female traveller from China. Eta Adventure Safaris operates together with Super Eagles.
Pros:
1. They have WeChat support. The deposit can be paid in RMB via WeChat, only 10 % of the full payment. It makes communication much easier whenever any issues come up during the trip.
2. Airport pick‑up and drop‑off services are free of charge.
3. I selected my own hotels and asked them to make advance bookings for me. All check‑ins went smoothly.
Cons:
1. Fixed group tours cannot be customised. I really wanted to see the wildebeest river crossing, which requires long waiting by the Mara River — some groups wait from 6:30 until 14:00. On shared group safaris you have to accommodate every passenger, so sightings depend purely on luck.
2. Tour guides are assigned randomly, so experience varies greatly. My first guide John was excellent and gave me a wonderful start to the trip. However, my second guide was consistently one to two hours late. We filed a complaint and got him replaced.
Summary:
Group tours bring together travellers from all over the world to share travel stories, which suits outgoing people. I would say this operator is worth considering if you book their shared group safari. It is a relatively large local agency. I met another Chinese tourist whose agency was terrible: that provider downgraded her accommodation without consent, charged for airport transfers and ignored her formal complaints.

Friendly and patient
Motion Safaris Uganda provided excellent communication from start to finish. The guides were friendly, professional, and reliable. The tour was well organized, offered great value for money, and created unforgettable memories.
Professional. I hope they stopped us for a good lunch place.
Cab driver Tiyani was both friendly and professional. The drive was good except that I wished they stopped for a good lunch place on the way to the lodge. I am
A vegetarian and didn’t find much to pick up at the brief stopping point.
