    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!!
