I looked at SafariBookings because the site gave me the convenience of so many options -- all in one place. I got several quotes and worked with Afrishare to put my custom, private safari together. They were very flexible and offered a fair price. I took my son on what was - for us - a real 'bucket list' vacation: an 8-day safari to Kenya & Tanzania. From start to finish, Afrishare took care of everything. They were courteous, professional and flexible -- even making changes during our trip. Our drivers/guides (Robert in Kenya & Okuli in Tanzania) were everything we could have hoped for. They even taughts us a little Swahili and helped explain so many things about Africa beyond just the safari experience. The game drives were simply amazing....from seeing hippos, zebras -- and literally being in the middle of tens of thousands of wildebeests during the Great Migration, this was a special trip indeed. I have fabulous photos of lions and elephants -- just a few feet from our safari vehicle! One day, there was a mix-up with lunch but Ibrahim and Okuli took us to a local African restaurant (no charge) and we got to eat like 'real Africans' -- it was an unplanned, but unforgettable experience. The Maasai Mara and the Serengeti were incredible experiences, but the smaller parks (Ngorongoro and Tarangire) were even more intimate and special with chances to see more animals closer than I'd thought possible. Note that the roads in the game reserves are all unpaved and can be extremely bumpy at times -- but that's part of the experience! Some of the days can be long! The accommodations were just as promised and very nice. The private experience was something that I previously would have pegged at twice the cost. You can check out other options, but my son and I were quite pleased with Afrishare. I strongly recommend them.

We really just had a trip of a lifetime with Afrishare! At the outset we wanted to change our itinerary just a bit, and Ibrahim was more than willing to accommodate us. The bad (which there was only one): A small hiccup with the payment method, but it was easily fixed. The good! First, both of our wonderful drivers. Steve, he’s like the Kenyan uncle you never knew you had. He was so nice, helpful, informative, and funny. Moses, we had a blast with him! He’s a great guy, very attentive, kind, funny, and if you’re lucky enough you’ll get to hear his great singing voice! Both were excellent drivers and people! The lodges and hotels they booked exceeded our expectations. The accommodations and the staff were fantastic! The safari: It was everything and more than we could have asked for! From the animal, nature, and the overall experience, we couldn’t have wished for a better experience. Afrishare is a wonderful company because of the wonderful people there!
