Xmas O2025-02-12Verified My best life experience assisted by the best team My dream experience started from Costa Rica. After requesting packages from few safari companies I decided for Twiga as they were willing to personalize my dreams.I was able to see the animals but more meaningfull for me was the time spent with Maasai people and other surrounding villages. My three tour guides were 100% profesionals, they always knew were to go and when. Their mission was my safety and their goal was just me capturing the best possible photos. The camps were just amazing, the best staff, they were so polite and humble with the best service, excellent food and overhaul acommodation and service. Thanks to Mike, James and mister Dennis, you guys are amazing drivers and tour guides. Thanks to John from the front office for answering all my questions and for setting up the adventure. Thanks to Twiga for making this dream possible with the best crew.As we say in my country “Pura vida and gracias”Kenny W patty w2025-02-10Verified Friendly service and great game viewing! We booked a 3 day safari with Twiga Expeditions through safaribookings.com. They were very good to work with us in picking us up where we were staying and dropping us at the airport in time for our flights. Transportation, hotel, meals, and game viewing were all included. Mr. Jeff was a knowledgeable guide and he did his best to show us as many different kinds of animals as possible. He made suggestions but also customized according to what we wanted to see. He gave us options along the way of attractions we could add to our trip if we wanted but did not hard sell any of these. We had a wonderful time and felt like we got a good value for the price we paid. Sarah B2025-01-03Verified With a week and a half turnaround - the bucket list trip of a lifetime When we decided to book a trip to Africa a week and a half out, we had no idea what was possible, but our expectations were blown away. We found Twiga through a friend’s recommendation, and within three days they provided an entire itinerary, hotels, optional activities, information about getting our visas and what to prepare before we went, and answered all our questions. The entire process went so smoothly, from the airport pickups to all the hotels and lodging they chose.Our guides in Kenya and Tanzania -Dennis, and Hamza - were professional, knowledgeable, prompt, fun, and open to tailor the experience for what we were excited to see. Each of the lodgings were completely different and wonderful in their own way. From Olimba Lodge – a small independent nature lodge nestled next to a river in the Maasai Mara, and with some of the most excellent food and attention, to Mawe Mawe, an incredible hidden gem at the end of a rocky road in Tanzania, which surprised us with stunning villas with their own pools and incredible views from the peaks of the mountain overlooking Lake Manyara. Plus everything on between.Each of the Safari destinations we visited had so much to offer, and we got up close and personal with elephants, giraffes, hippos, lions, cheetahs, tons of birds, and one very special leopard who made an appearance just for us. We added a morning hot air balloon ride which was an absolute highlight, floating over the Serengeti followed by a stunning breakfast under acacia trees. With such a short turnaround we put our complete faith in Twiga to take care of everything and just sat back and enjoyed it. We were surprised and impressed at every turn. We literally could not have done it without them and can’t wait to come back. Michael H2025-01-03Verified AMAZING Trip of a lifetime!! AMAZING trip with the Twiga team! perfect 10 days from Nairobi to Arusha through the Maasai Mara & Serengeti. Driver guides were incredibly knowledgeable & helped with so many little things making the trip unforgettable! Shoutout to Mr Dennis in Kenya & Hamza in Tanzania going out of their way to place us in perfect locations to view soooo many animals! Lodges that John booked for us were great & varied hugely. He even got us a spot on the morning hot air balloon which was a true highlight!! We booked 2 weeks out from Christmas/New Years so very surprised how nice places he could find.Guides were always early and waiting with a clean car each day (6 seater Land Cruiser with pop up roof) ready to explore. Can’t wait to come back again & see more! See the highlights on IG @michael.heritage 🐘 🦒 🦁 🦛 Thibault D2024-12-06Verified A great experience Our experience has been really great, we loved the hotel and the organisation of this tour. Dennis did a very great job, has a great knowledge of the park and its animals, and managed to show us as many animals we could and sometimes stay a little bit long to wait and see some of them. Even if the weather was not 100% with us, we are very happy and promptly recommend Twiga Expeditions. Miguel D2024-11-17Verified Unimaginable experience Unimaginable experience! Witnessed lions, elephants, and most especially, the Great Migration. The guides were exceptional, the camps were pleasant, and every park was amazing. Surely a once in a lifetime experience. Highly recommend Twiga Expeditions and our guide Hamza! Trip600310557112024-09-25Verified Perfect experience! Twiga really made our visit to Tanzania! Our tour guide Hamza was simply fantastic! It was great from start to finish, including the trip planning and during the actual animal sightings. If you're planning to go, this is a must! John M2024-09-03Verified Wonderful safari experience Our safari was incredible and planned to perfection. Our driver, Mike, was highly professional and had excellent tips for spotting all the animals and eagle eyes, he could see them so far away it was amazing! He went above and beyond to ensure we got the best photos and all the hotels Twiga gaves us as options were fantastic. The overall price was quite competitive compared to other providers and we couldn't have been happier with our decision. Loved the hot air balloon in Mara! GrandTour146909451722024-08-31Verified Great Experience My friends and I spent 4 days in the Masai Mara and Nakuru, and we had an incredible time! With Twiga, everything well-organized from pickup to drop-off. We saw countless wild animals, and our guide, James, provided us with detailed information about each one. It was absolutely worth the price, and we’re still in awe of the experience! We highly recommend doing a private safari tour with James. He answered all our questions and knew the best spots in the Masai Mara. We even got to witness the wildebeests crossing the Mara River. Thank you for everything and we'll come back soon! Joao2024-05-01Verified Best trip ever 😁😁 An extraordinary experience! I would recommend it to anyone and a big thank you to John for designing the route and Charles for his amazing driving and animal spotting skills. Very knowledgeable people who made the experience even more memorable! To recommend without hesitation!
