Trip of a lifetime

Wonderful exciting trip!

A great adventure

The guides were very alert and helpful in tracking the animals. We saw many different herds on the plains and a variety of beautiful birds. The accomodations were excellent and the staff very amiable in each stopover. I would recommend this trip to anyone who seeks an experience outside the box. Very satisfying and educational. Thank you.

Unbelievable Wildlife!

All my expectations were blown away by the beauty and amazing wildlife. Kenya is so much more than seeing it in a movie or on TV.

Best Trip So Far

This trip I believe has changed my life for the better. I really don't know how to explain the feelings of what I saw, tasted, heard, felt. All my senses where in constant alert, as to not miss anything. Our tour guide was rock solid and made our trip. Thank Rafael for your knowledge and love of your country, made all the difference in the world. Thanks for sharing. It was GREAT, everyone should take a trip like this.

Kenya and Tanzania Safari

What a wonderful experience. It was truly amazing to see so many beautiful animals in their natural habitat. I would truly recommend this trip to anyone. I am so glad that I was fortunate enough to go.

Wonderful experience and excellent food and people

This was a trip of a lifetime and It exceeded all of our expectations.Excellent lodging and food. Also,wildlife in abundance! It was definitely affordable too. Trip was well organized, The driver James was very informative and safety was his priority. The Tanzania extension is a must, the numbers of animals in the Serengeti were great. I would like to see a longer extension to Tanzania with 2 nights at Ngorongoro Crater and 3 nights in the Serengeti (and maybe omit Tarangire). All in all an excellent trip.....one that I would definitely consider doing again if i can afford.

African Safari exceeded expectations

This was definitely a trip of a lifetime...one we thought we could never afford to do. It exceeded all of our expectations...great lodging, fabulous food, and wildlife in abundance! It was definitely affordable too. Trip was well organized, drivers were very informative, health and safety was a priority. The pace was steady....very little down time, but that was ok as we were there to see as much as we could. We could sleep when we got home! The Tanzania extension is a must, the numbers of animals in the Serengeti were astouding. The pace there was even more demanding. I would like to see a longer extension to Tanzania with 2 nights at Ngorongoro Crater and 3 nights in the Serengeti (and maybe omit Tarangire, but stay a night in Arusha). All in all a fabulous trip.....one that I would definitely consider doing again!

Bucket list check-off

This trip fulfilled a dream I have always had. As a high school biology teacher, I had taught about the great African savannah and its vanishing wildlife. We were close enough to smell, hear, and almost touch the exotic animals of the Serengeti and Masai Mara. Ngorogoro Crater is as close to Eden as it gets. It was almost other-worldly. The biggest surprise was how much we learned about the cultures of this part of the world. I think the trip should be a Tanzania Safari with Kenya as the add-on. It would be a huge mistake to miss out on Tanzania. Our driver/guides were exceptional. They are the reason GoAhead Tours are outstanding. The pace is grueling with long days over bumpy, dusty roads, but we were usually greeted with cool, damp cloths and fruit drinks upon arrival at our accomodations which ranged from eco-friendly camps to an ultra-posh lodge.

Amazing adventure but roads difficult!

There was a bit of difficulty with getting needed information as to daily schedules. The roads to the parks made the trip difficult even if the results were wonderful.

Diane's African Safari

One of the best travel experiences I've ever had! Every single person connected with this tour - from the tour director to the guides to the staff at our accommodations was exceptional. I saw more animals than I hoped, heard noises that I never dreamed possible, and smiled more than I thought I would. I was HAPPY every single day! It was strenuous but worth every single bump in the road. Our guides were superb - i learned about the symbiotic relationships of the ecosystem and how important it is for every single piece to be there for all of life. Our guides (Fred in Kenya and John in Tanzania) were amazing with their depth of knowledge and great personalities. And the tour director (Sammy) took care of every detail, I didn't have to worry about anything - excellent food, good pace, travel and exceptional accommodations. It was a grand adventure and I am going to do this again and will bring my friends!
