masai mara safari
we watched all of Big Five ! Thanks to the driver's quick ride to show me the animals in a nice spot, I took a lot of great pictures. The driver Josph was kind and positive. He drives so well and he took care of my son very well. I recommend it!!
Joyce JOSE · United Arab Emirates
Very reliable and trustworthy
Joy always responded quickly, and her answers were accurate and reassuring. She was also very flexible in accommodating my needs. I joined this safari as a solo female traveler and requested to be placed in a group. I was added to a group of five, making it a total of six people, including myself. Everyone was very friendly, and we bonded like a family. Clinton was an excellent and experienced guide. Thanks to him, we were able to see most of the animals in the Maasai Mara and take many great photos. The campsite was an eco-camp, and due to heavy rain at night, there were some issues with electricity supply. However, the food was delicious, and I was very satisfied. The rainy weather was simply due to the season, so it couldn’t be helped. Fortunately, we hardly encountered any rain during the safari itself, allowing us to fully enjoy the experience. I strongly recommend everyone this tour operator. When deciding which tour operator to use, I compared various websites and travel companies. This company offered the most reasonable price, and their response time was incredibly fast. I thank Joy especially as she is a hardworking lady and very professional.
