Safari de 12 días en Kenia y Tanzania desde Nairobi

I have been an avid wildlife enthusiast my whole life, so I had no doubt in my mind that a 12 day wild life safari in Kenya and Tanzania would be a once in a lifetime experience. However, I will admit to concerns about the logistical details of the trip. I enjoy my creature comforts and had nightmares about cold showers, unpalatable food or even worse the inability to charge my phone. However, I was beyond impressed by the trip organized by the Mr George Mumba and his company Perfect Wilderness. George himself greeted us before the trip and explained the tour itinerary. We were put up in good lodges/hotels for the entirety of the trip with all the necessary amenities, as we had opted for the upgrade. We were greeted at each lodge by courteous staff. The food for the entire trip was also good, with a hearty breakfast and dinner being provided each day, and on most days a packed lunch during the safari. Moving on to the safaris themselves, it was an experience to remember. We were taken for safaris by expert guides who had a good knowledge of the local flora and fauna, and who made every effort to show us the most they could. Masai Mara in particular was spectacular, with close up viewings of lions, leopards, rhinos, and many others. Each day of the trip however, had its own highlights like the climbing lions and flamingoes in Lake Manyara or the unique geography and ecosystem of Ngongoro. A special thank you to George and his team of guides, Peter, Shady, Julius and Bernard for a trip I will never forget.

Shadrack was excellent. He was caring and very informative. He is a professional tour guide. The 2 others were merely van drivers. They drove too fast. Very disappointed about the speed. we flew through the park at the lake. That was a lot to see but we didn't get time to see the rhinos there or watch for the animals because the driver was in a hurry to take some to a park near the border and it was a 4 hour drive. In Tanzania the guide was good but drove too fast also. We got to camps late after dark and we had to get oriented in the dark. We didn't get dinner until 9 pm. At the end he demanded 3 times what we were told would be a great tip. Overall Shadrack was 5 of 5. The guy in Tanzania was a 3.5 of 5 and the driver who took us to Masai Mara was 3.5 and the guy who took the group to the lake park was a 2 at best. The election caused concerns returning to Kenya the day after the election and I had to stay at airport 10 hours before my flight.

I took over 10,000 photos in 12 days, and that's definitely a personal record! Each everyday was packed with excitement in different Safari parks, thanks in large part to the experience of the drivers. By the way, each day started with a nice breakfast, and ended with excellent dinner! There was enough bottle water all the time, and I really think this was one of the most worry-free trip I have ever taken! The trip ended too soon! I could easily spend another week there.

This tour was amazing!

Hopefully we can stay inside of Masai Mara and Serengeti longer and see more animals.

We took 12-Day Kenya and Tanzania Safari from Nairobi and we had a great time. Our guide George is a knowledgeable and professional person who gave us great help during the safari. He is very responsible and quick to answer our questions and solve our problems. It is difficult on such a trip if you don't have a good tourist guide. However, we are very lucky to have George as our guide. The trip was wonderful on room and board too, and we enjoyed every day seeing animals, as well as people and their culture, in Africa.
