Comfortable trip without any issues - We, a group of 6 retirees, decided to make a tour through Kenia & Tanzania, main focus on game drives. As we wanted to customize and have a relative flexible itinerary, we noted that there are many tour operators in Kenia with a wide range of budget, comfort and luxury/expensive options. From our shortlist, Flexivel had the best proposition. Jonathan informed us fast and adequate on all the queries we had. Our experience was over and above our expectation, Flexivel appeared to be a very customer focused & friendly organisation. Especially the accommodation was nice; although we had chosen for the comfort option, we loved the quality of the lodges and luxury tents; each with their specific setting. We loved George’s going the extra miles to show us the beauty and diversity of Kenia’s National Parks. Joshua was equally experienced and told us many different aspects of Tanzania. Arriving back home, we look back at a very nice journey with lots of good memories. Based on our experience, we certainly recommend Flexivel !

An unforgettable twelve-day safari adventure in Kenya and Tanzania: A journey through nature's wonders - Booking our twelve day safari through Kenya and Tanzania with Flexible Kenya Safaris was an excellent decision that my wife and I made together. The process was seamless, thanks to the efficient and quick communication with Jonathan and Rachel, who clearly answered all our questions and helped us feel confident in our choice. Our adventure began at Samburu Reserve where we spent two nights at Samburu Simba Lodge. The game drives were extraordinary, mainly due to our guide, George, who ensured we saw some of the reserve's rarest animals, including the Somali ostrich, Grevy's zebra, reticulated giraffes, gerenuks and Beisa oryxes. We even spotted a striped hyena from our cabin one night! We then visited the Aberdare National Park, staying at The Ark Lodge, where we enjoyed watching the wildlife from the lodge terrace as they came to drink water. At Lake Nakuru National Park, the stay at Sarova Lion Hill Lodge was highlighted by game drives that showcased flamingos, buffalo and about five white rhinos. The highlight of the trip was the Masai Mara, where we stayed at the Mara Simba Lodge and experienced a fantastic hot air balloon ride. We observed many animals including hippos, crocodiles, lions, leopards and elephants along the Mara River. Our journey continued to the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania, where we met another amazing guide, Vincent, and spotted the Big Five. The stay at Kontiki Camp was wonderful and we enjoyed our two nights in the Serengeti. We also visited the Ngorongoro Crater and stayed at Endoro Lodge in Mto wa Mbu. Returning to Kenya through the Namanga border, we finished the safari in Amboseli National Park, staying at Kibo Safari Camp, where the view of the elephants in the swamps was truly breathtaking. In summary, this twelve-day safari was an exceptional experience that we recommend to all travelers. Special thanks to George and Vincent for making our adventure unforgettable. We enjoyed every moment and are eager to come back.

12 Days in Kenya and Tanzania for a wildlife adventure!! - We went on 12-day adventure through the wild landscapes of Kenya and Tanzania with Flexivel Kenya safaris with guide Peter, this was nothing short of extraordinary! Our journey kicked off in the vibrant city of Nairobi, where we were warmly picked up from the Hilton Garden Inn. The excitement soared as we set our course for Samburu Game Reserve, a haven of unique wildlife encounters. Our base at Samburu Simba Lodge was a true gem – offering not only comfort but also spectacular views of the surrounding wilderness. From the breathtaking landscapes of Lake Nakuru to the majestic Masai Mara Reserve, each destination unfolded like a chapter in a captivating story. A special mention goes to Vincent, our guide extraordinaire in Tanzania, who joined us at the border and became our companion for five memorable days. Crossing into Tanzania through Namanga border, we found ourselves immersed in the wonders of Amboseli National Park, where the majestic Mount Kilimanjaro stood as a silent sentinel over the vast plains. As our safari reached its grand finale in Nairobi, the memories created over these 12 days will forever linger. It was not just a journey; it was a symphony of nature, adventure, and the warm hospitality of the people we encountered. Here's to the magic of Kenya and Tanzania – a safari of a lifetime!

An Unforgettable 12-Day Safari Adventure in Kenya and Tanzania - My wife and I went on a 12-day safari through the breathtaking landscapes of Kenya and Tanzania, organized by Flexivel Kenya Safaris. This journey was nothing short of magical, offering a mosaic of experiences that have left us with memories to cherish for a lifetime. Each day unfolded a new chapter of adventure - from the rolling plains of the Maasai Mara to the majestic Serengeti, we were immersed in the raw beauty of the African wilderness. The wildlife sightings were spectacular; we witnessed the Great Migration, a spectacle of nature that words can hardly do justice to. Elephants, lions, cheetahs, and countless other species in their natural habitats were a sight to behold. Our accommodations were carefully chosen, blending comfort with the authentic safari experience. Waking up to the sounds of the wild and dining under the stars were daily occurrences that we dearly miss. Flexivel Kenya Safaris' attention to detail and tailored approach made all the difference, ensuring our trip was both smooth and exhilarating. The highlight for us was the warm-hearted people we met along the way. Our guides, John in Kenya and Vincent in Tanzania with their wealth of knowledge and passion for wildlife, enriched our understanding and appreciation of the natural world. In conclusion, this safari arranged by Flexivel Kenya Safaris was an extraordinary journey that exceeded our expectations in every way. It's a must-do for anyone seeking adventure, wildlife, and a profound connection with nature. We returned home with hearts full of joy and a deep desire to return to the African savannah.

Unforgettable 12-Day Safari Adventure - My girlfriend and I did a 12 day safari through the amazing parks and game reserves of Kenya and Tanzania and it was the experience of a lifetime. Our journey took us through breathtaking landscapes teeming with wildlife and natural beauty, but the absolute highlight was our stay in Tanzania's Ndutu region. In Ndutu we witnessed one of nature's most spectacular events: the great migration of millions of wildebeest. This extraordinary sight with endless herds thundering across the plains was a testament to the wild and untouched beauty of Tanzania. It was a moment of awe and wonder that offered a unique connection with the raw power of nature. Our safari was further enhanced by our exceptional guides, George in Kenya and Tuma in Tanzania. Their expertise and passion for wildlife was evident. George, with his keen eye and deep knowledge of Kenyan nature, provided us with unforgettable encounters in the Kenyan game reserves. He had an uncanny ability to spot even the most elusive animals and enriched our safaris with exciting sightings. In Tanzania, Tuma's expertise shone through. His understanding of animal behavior, especially during the Great Migration in Ndutu, allowed us to witness spectacular scenes safely and respectfully. His enthusiasm was contagious, making every game an exciting and educational experience. Both Tuma and George were not only guides, but became storytellers, sharing fascinating insights into the history, cultures and ecosystems of the regions. We were deeply impressed by their professionalism, helpfulness and dedication to conservation. Accommodation throughout the safari was Excellent comfortable and provided the perfect balance of rustic charm and modern amenities. The food was a wonderful mix of local and international cuisine, always fresh and tasty. In conclusion, this safari was more than just a trip; it was a profound journey that deeply connected us to the wonders of the African wilderness. We left with memories that will last a lifetime and a new appreciation for the natural world. We can't recommend it enough to anyone considering a safari in Kenya and Tanzania with Flexivel Kenya Safaris - it's a truly soul-feeding adventure.Asanteni Sana!!
