    The team leader, cook and driver were absolutely fantastic. They all went above and beyond for every person on tour. Samantha had fantastic knowledge, was passionate and truly committed to providing excellent service. Ibrahim was an excellent chef who served amazing food each meal. His service was friendly and catered to the needs of each member of the group. Hygiene was spot on. James was such a friendly, easy going and great driver. He was skilled and knew where to go. I loved every moment of this trip thanks to those three staff members who worked exceptionally well together.

    I have participated in a number of group travel experiences and this was by far the most organised and well run program. Everything was planned out for us, and we did not have to worry about arranging side trips, meals or experiences. The staff (Samantha, James and Ibrahim) were all fantastic in their roles - going above and beyond to make the experience special for us.

    Great balance of time between maasai Mara locals, maasai safari, Serengeti, crater. The service was excellent and the food was perfect considering its a budget trip and we were camping in the wild. Our guide had a great knowledge of all things Africa from politics and history to the animals and was so kind and courteous to everyone's needs.
