The rift valley system was formed 5 million years ago and the rift runs from the red sea through Ethiopia and Kenya and Tanzania.

5.00We had a great time on our safari. Our guide Castro was professional and managed to show us all of the Big 5. He was also a good driver, very helpful and answered all of our questions. We were happy with the accomodation. We really liked the food at Giraffe camp. It was fun to share the experience with the fellow travelers. We would recommend this safari and Castro.

5.00We explored Masai Mara for 2.5 days and got due to the experience of our driver guide Sammy the full package of wildlife. After the first day we thought we had already seen everything, but the next day it got even more exciting. Highly recommended

5.00It's truly unique. The guide took the time for all our wishes. During the tour, Proaktiv was covering everything. About animals, region, culture, behaviour and much more. We recommend the Perfect Safaris 100%.
Amazing from A to Z

5.00This tour includes everything you need to see on a safari. The number of animals in Masai Mara is impressive. The food was also always very good and authentic. Make sure you also visit the Masai village where you get many information about their culture. Our guide George was super amazing. He knows and tells you a lot about the animals and their biology, the histories of the parks and the country and sometimes you get the feeling that he wants to see the Big 5 even more than you do and is so passionate about. He was everytime very obliging. This whole package made this safari a truly unforgettable experience and I strongly recommand! Thank you!
Whole package was a great experience
