MKOMAZI RHINO TRIP
It was a nice experience to have a Rhino trip with Kisangara tours.Service was superb as they combined wildlife safari and cultural excursion for Maasai bomas and dancing.

Amazing experience
The safari exceeded my expectations in many aspects. The tour was well organized, communication with the tour operator(via Whatsapp) went smoothly, the hotel pickup was on time and all the activities happened as planned. The drive to the camp was quick and safe and came with a free african massage ;) The camp itself was clean, comfortable and had all necessary amenities, including wifi(although there were occasional power outages). The guide Marcus and the driver were absolute professionals, always friendly and knowledgable, sharing lots of interesting facts about the area and the wildlife and, above all, they did everything they could to get me as close to the animals as possible without disturbing them. The tour was an overall great experience and I enjoyed every minute of it.
