- AGerald Coffee· November 7th, 2025Nirobi is not a safe city to visit. We could not leave the hotel for fear for our safety. We were greated with armed guards, and had to pass through a metal detector before entering the Sarovia. The wildlife parks were great. Putting us up for one night in a hotel between national reserves was a horrible waste of time and my money. One should be able to go from one reserve to the other without being stored out of the way. Food was over spiced, was good but got tiresome with all the spices. Tour, hotel staff were great.Show moreTrip date: June 2025Review collected by Collette

- ABrian Tubbs· November 7th, 2025It was a fantastic time. The game drives were amazing. The tour manager and drivers were great. I plan to go on more African safaris thanks to this tour.Show moreTrip date: June 2025Review collected by Collette
- ADeborah Ansley· November 7th, 2025Such a ibcredible vacation! Our driver, Moses, was amazing. He safely navigated the roads of Kenya and the reserves while answering all of our questions about the animals and the country. We saw every animal we hoped to see including babies of almost every variety. It was a an experience that I will never forget and would recommend for everyone to experience at some time in their life. Collette did a great job organizing an fabulous tour with great lodging and food, fun experiences, and so many animals!Show moreTrip date: June 2025Review collected by Collette

- ARonda Harris· November 7th, 2025Too many favorites to choose just one. Enjoyed meeting folks from around the world who were in our group of 13. Amazed at all the animals we saw on our game drives. Educated by side trips to places creating jobs for locals, museums, and visits to Masai village.Show moreTrip date: August 2025Review collected by Collette
- ASandra Rosenthal· November 7th, 2025A trip of a lifetime. We didn't miss anything. We stayed in such nice accommodations, it would have been nice to enjoy them a little longer. It was always rush, rush. I wouldn't want to give up any of the safaris, but maybe allow more time at the properties, even if we had to extend the tour. Food was good. Our tour driver, Johnson, was exceptional. We especially liked the property and staff at Arukore Simba Camp Serengeti, but all of the properties were great. Collette made it easy. Thanks for a great trip. My favorite memory was seeing 7 giraffes galloping in the morning golden sunlight. Memorable.Show moreTrip date: August 2025Review collected by Collette
- AStephen Bruckmann· November 7th, 2025Small group tour of twelve we thought we would travel with was cut down to six and we were assigned a vehicle with a middle aged couple with two adult children. No one spoke and the whole family played on their phones for the three weeks we were stuck with them. The tour company guide refused to let us swap seats around so we could ride with other people once in a while. The extension to Tanzania wasn't worth it. The Serengeti was scenic but the 3-night resort was very plain and far from the animals so the game drives had to be all day and the driver was a maniac, and the box lunches were terrible. The driver drove so fast and hard he broke the vehicle on one game drive and we were stuck in the hot Savannah for almost five hours with nothing around while his repair game our and they attempted to fix the vehicle. The whole day in Ngorogoro crater was cancelled. Some of the hotel stays were a waste of time and the side trips and bathroom stops (hard sell souvenir shop) were a waste of time and painful. The giraffe rehab center in Nairobi was so packed with tourist we could barely walk around and I couldn't wait to get out of there. We spent half the drive driving there and it was a complete waste of time.Show moreTrip date: August 2025Review collected by Collette
- AJames Clark· November 7th, 2025Excellent. All accommodations were wonderful. Our tour manager Chris and our driver John were about as good as you could have. Both were very knowledgeable and personable. Saw all the big 5 and enjoyed the landscape and birds. My favorite was seeing Micheal the Tusker elephant. What a wonderful and amazing animal. The picture is of our daughter videoing a lioness hunt for zebra. Looks like someone else was interested in that hunt also.Show moreTrip date: August 2025Review collected by Collette
- ADeborah Clark· November 7th, 2025The drivers were so knowledgeable, and we were able to see everything we hoped for and more! Our experience in seeing the animals was their top priority and I felt our drivers were more respectful of the animals than some of the other tour groups. Every place we stayed was a 5-star location; we couldn't have asked for better accommodationsShow moreTrip date: August 2025Review collected by Collette
