4.8/5Paul was very helpful in planning our Ol Pejeta safari. Our guide, David, was knowledgeable, friendly, and had a great sense of humor throughout the trip. Seeing the rhinos was definitely the highlight of our safari experience. Everything was well organized, and we truly enjoyed our time

I had a great experience on my Mount Kenya trip. The views were stunning and everything was well organized. Unfortunately, after summit day I had to cut the trek short due to sunstroke and altitude sickness. However, the early return was handled very smoothly, a driver was arranged to pick me up directly in the national park, which worked out perfectly. Overall, despite the unexpected change of plans, the trip was excellent and well managed.
Georg · Austria
We wanted to experience the very best of the Masai Mara safari, and although we booked just a month before our travel dates, January, the Dreamlike Africa team still managed to make it work beautifully. Though our preferred accommodation Mara Serena was already full, the team at dreamlike secured us a stay at Mara sopa lodge which though ranked lower was okey. Our guide David was attentive, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. He made sure our 3-day stay was packed with sightings, including lions on the hunting. Dreamlike Africa turned a potentially stressful last-minute plan into a seamless, unforgettable experience.
Geoffrey Msinga · Kenya
It was a very good experience with our guide Maro. Game drives were nice, we had explanations when we were asking, water was included, we had time and we saw many animals. The roads from Tsavo to Amboseli are really bad in 2026 though. It could have been better to be in a more recent car, more comfortable.
