    We thoroughly enjoyed our safari that took us from Nairobi into Tanzania. We visited the Maasai Mara National Reserve where highlights included seeing majestic giraffes and elephants, a lion with its kill, beautiful zebra and the wildebeest migration. We crossed into Tanzania and explored the Serengeti where we saw more amazing animals including a leopard, cheetah, hippos and prides of lions. We also visited Ngorongoro Park and the Ngorongoro Crater where we saw a rhinoceros grazing in the distance. We also visited Lake Manyara and enjoyed seeing the baboons that live there. The sites we stayed at were comfortable and the food was delicious. They were able to accommodate dietary restrictions which was appreciated. Our guides Robert and Nelson were very attentive, and knowledgeable. We learned a lot about the animals, the parks and lakes that we visited. Our shuttle driver Issac also shared interesting information about the animals we had seen and the Maasai culture.

    I spent 13 days in Kenya and Tanzania and i let Japhet take care of organising everything for me. It was the best decision ever- he proposed a colourful itinerary, he operates with the best providers for local programs, and he reliably took care of all accommodations, meals and transport, so that I didnt need to worry about anything, just enjoy the holidays. He is a fully reliable person, available any time for my questions and fully flexible when i wanted to sightly amend our plans. Thanks so much for the unforgettable holidays!

    We went for 8 days Safari in Kenya and Tanzania and it was an amazing experience. Perfect Safari was indeed perfect. Pick up was on time and they kept very well with the schedule. We had 3 different guides, James, Anwar and Elli and they were all very professional. I have to mention the amazing chefs we've had in Tanzania while camping. The food was delicious. Overall, the whole trip went better than expected. Thanks for a wonderful service!

    perfect guide, good food, customised trip just to our liking with good shuttle service from nairobi. the organiser was extremely friendly and treated us like family. all in all, we were spoiled tremendously and "forbidden" to raise a finger to help. our only job was to enjoy the tour. we decided to take the alternative package, meaning sleeping in very well mended tents, so very much in touch with nature. the whole experience - amazing, spiced up by excellent value for money! Highlights: Ngorongoro crater - best sunrises ever, animal migration in the Serengeti and Tarangire. We decided finishing after at some hot springs with Kilimanjaro beckoning at us from the distance.
