Thoughtful, Custom, Personal, and excellent execution.
Our objective was a short, luxury safari with latitude for customizations on lodging and transport. Sereland set the tone early with attention to a solid initial proposal, but more importantly, detailed attention to custom requests. By draft two, we are almost perfect, and then several inbound and outbound travel changes were addressed quickly and professionally. On the business and organizational front, our family was 100% satisfied with planning, communication, execution, and follow-up.
In the field, our guide was professional, knowledgeable, and made every effort to provide a safe and rewarding experience. Skill and patience are key, especially on short safaris...but to hit the big five (and almost "baby big five" as we called it...missed a young leopard) in an afternoon and next morning is unthinkable, but true. Our guide was also keenly aware of limiting impact to the parks, the wildlife, and courtesy to other safari goers. Schedules were clearly communicated, yet flexible, which only added to maximizing the value and reliability of our journey.
In short, we will not hesitate to send friends and family directly to Sereland for their needs, and will do the same should we return in the near future.

Perfect day in Kenya
Our full day experience at Nairobi National Park followed by a visit to the Giraffe Centre was the perfect time in our life & our tour organizer Inspired Feet Safaris truly made our day special. We started early, entering the park while everything was still quiet and peaceful. Almost immediately, we began spotting wildlife-buffaloes, zebras, giraffes, and even a black rhino grazing alone near the road. The mix of open plains and city skyline created a unique setting that felt both modern and wild. Our guide clearly loved his job and he was fantastic knowledgeable. Every sighting came with background stories, from how certain animals behave to how the park survives despite being so close to the city. His passion made the drive enjoyable and educational. The full day we felt peaceful and enjoyed every moment.

An experience of a lifetime!
We went on a safari to Masai Mara with Rocktrek and had the experience of a lifetime we will never forget, which we will talk about for the rest of our lives. Our driver, Linus, was incredibly knowledgable. We had so much fun with him and he made the experience what it was. He knew all the right spots to see certain animals and covered so much of Masai Mara so we could see the beauty of it. The overwhelming and blissful feeling of our 4 days here left us not wanting to leave! The whole process of booking with Rocktrek was simple from start to finish, and was tailored specifically to our preferences to make the most of our trip to Masai Mara. We would without a doubt book a tour to Masai Mara with Rocktrek again, specifically with Linus as he made us feel welcome, comfortable and went out of his way to ensure we had the most amazing experience. They have even gone out of their way to arrange sending a forgotten bag of things we left in Masai Mara back to the UK for us, which we are so appreciative of. 10/10 from us.

Kudos to Papa John for the amazing tours and safari. Very accommodating and hard working.

Professional and well recommended!
We booked the mid-range package with Jocky Tours and it truly exceeded our expectations. Both hotels: Jambo Mara and Sarova Woodlands, were excellent in terms of comfort, cleanliness, and service. The food throughout the trip was consistently delicious and well prepared.
Our guide and driver, Papa John, was outstanding in every aspect. He was knowledgeable, experienced, patient and made sure we enjoyed every moment of the safari.
His ability to spot wildlife, explain animal behavior, and navigate the parks safely added so much value to the experience.
Overall, the entire trip was seamless, memorable and absolutely worth it. Highly recommended!

A great and complete tour :)
Starting with the driver who picked us up from our hotel, everything was great. He couldn't find our location and called us several times until he did (our accommodation was a bit hidden). The staff at the office were very helpful and friendly; Helen treated us wonderfully from the moment we started asking for a quote for the safari dates we wanted. As for the accommodation... I LOVED IT! Two nights in a "tent" with a super-sized double bed and a full bathroom made of stone with 24-hour hot water. The electricity is available during two time slots (morning and afternoon), but it's more than enough to charge devices and turn on the lights. The food was delicious, varied, and plentiful since it's a buffet. There were always eggs, meat, vegetables, rice, legumes, and fruit. The transport was perfect, a 4x4 with an open roof, although sometimes there wasn't enough space for backpacks, and on the way back we had to carry them, which made it difficult to fully enjoy Naukuru. Our guide, Papa John, explained everything about the animals very well, but we did miss him explaining what we would be doing each day, since in our case there were four people who weren't staying at the same accommodation, and sometimes we weren't sure what was going on. But it was a minor issue, as he answered all our questions. So overall, everything was very good value for money. Regarding the animals, we were able to see the Big Five in four days of safari, as well as many others. We were surprised that we saw so many.

Our experience with Pega Tours was absolutely fantastic. We accidentally found some short review in the internet concerning using the services of this agency. After it I wrote to Pega Tours and started communicating with the owner - Peter. We have discussed more than a dozen of different options for our perfect trip and finally confirmed all the details. The price policy of Pega Tours is quite flexible and I am grateful to the agency for personal approach to my wish. What is more - we did not need to pay in advance. It was a private tour - just me and my wife and nobody else - the whole car was for us.
Our guide - Dennis - the son of the owner - met us at the airport really early at 4 am and we went immediately to game drive. From that moment our unique adventure has started.
Our route was quite intensive and extremely fascinating: Nakuru National Park-Hell’s Gate-Naivasha Lake-Masai Mara-Amboseli
Each moment was well organised. Dennis answered all our questions, was very gentle and friendly so that at the end of our trip we felt sad to say him goodbye. What is the most important - we managed to see all animals with help of Dennis. It seemed to us that he had some unique sense and ability to find all kind of animals out of nowhere. More than big 5 was seen. We were especially impressed by the huge herd of giraffes and elephants. The best part is how Dennis managed to find hundreds of pink flamingos in Amboseli - it was a perfect way to end our trip.
Thank you very much, Pega Tours. We strongly recommend this agency - Peter will create a perfect journey for you for a very good price and will make this experience unforgettable. His son - Dennis - will make this trip smooth and fascinating so that you will remember it forever.
