    The Best of East Africa Safari was an incredibly wonderful tour. The tour leader and drivers were professional and a pleasure to work with. The itinerary was superb for watching and photographing wildlife in 5 national parks in Kenya and Tanzania. The safari lodges and camps were of high quality with excellent meals and a pleasure to stay in. Really a perfect once in a life time experience. We highly recommend it.

    This tour was an amazing adventure. We were blessed to see the BigFive in all of their natural environments. The giant crocodiles, the carnage at the river’s crossing from the great migration along with the beauty of Mother Africa in all her glory! This trip is a must! You will not be disappointed!!

    Is it possible to book this tour privately for one person? Is it safe for a solo woman to do this tour?

    Travel Support
    • Holiday Destination SafarisOperatorWritten February 2023

      Yes. It is possible to book for the 5 Day Ultimate Amboseli Ngorongoro Safari as a solo traveler and the tour can be personalized to suit her needs. It is very much safe, and she shouldn't fear at all. We have had many single clients that take part in our safari.

  • J

    Jeffrey

    Asked on February 13th, 2023

    Are the hotel/lodges not camps? For US Citizens should we obtain our visa online for both countries? On Day 2: can we see mara mara village with the locals? On Day 6 we should like an airport drop off with a flight to Zanzibar? How much the cost for that? Any special discount offered?

    • Holiday Destination SafarisOperatorWritten February 2023

      We will extend further discount of 5% on the safari cost from US$ 2,525.00 to US$ 2,415.00 per person. The flight fare will remain the same US$ 260.00 per person and fares are subject to change at the time of confirmation.

    • J

      Jeffrey

      TravelerWritten February 2023

      Is the date fixed on tour or flexible? We would like to start the tour on Sept 11. We wanted to take advantage of flying international on weekends for us.

    • Holiday Destination SafarisOperatorWritten February 2023

      The dates are flexible so we can adjust to suit your time frame.

    • J

      Jeffrey

      TravelerWritten February 2023

      Is it possible we can replace Day 2 from Amboseli National Park to Masai Mara. If yes, will there be any changes to price?

    • Holiday Destination SafarisOperatorWritten February 2023

      We could not replace Amboseli National Park with Masai Mara. They are far apart, almost 600kms. Driving from Masai Mara to Ngorongoro Conservation area is more than 12 hours drive which is not appropriate.

    • J

      Jeffrey

      TravelerWritten February 2023

      Is it possible we can book our own hotel in Nairobi and you guys can just pick us up when the tour starts? We wanted to spend an extra day in Nairobi to explore on our own. If so, what would be the price reduction for eliminating that hotel on day 1?

    • Holiday Destination SafarisOperatorWritten February 2023

      The reduction price of day 1 from the tour will be US$ 2,300.00 per person.
