We were on a 11-day trip to Kenya & Tanzania. This was our trip to visit Africa and it was the most amazing experience ever. Our guide Chris, safaridoctor (Kenya side), and Gelasius (Tanzania side) are very experienced and have great knowledge about animals, birds and plants. With their exceptional effort, we were able to see all big 5s plus many others. My husband is a photographer so they stopped and tried to get closer with different angles for my husband to have a better shot whenever we saw something interesting. For example, Chris made a second trip to the same location to allow us spot a group of Rhinos. Gelasius recommended us to have lunch in the car by a pond to watch lions and got a once a life time chance to see lion sipping water from the pond. The lodges service were also excellent! By the way, Betty from the office is extremely helpful and always answers our questions quickly.

Everyone we came in contact with was incredible. The service, accommodations, and guides all exceeded our expectations! Betty in the office looked after our every need and ensured every accommodation was above and beyond anything we expected. We would turn down little roads to nowhere, and find ourselves at beautiful places to rest our heads. I don’t know how she has found all of these gems, but…we were astonished! We did modify the trip so that we were not sleeping on the ground…due to mobility issues. We were picked up by Paul at the airport, who was so friendly and knowledgeable we had hoped he would be our guide the whole time! Moffat, our Kenya guide, was friendly, and did an excellent job getting us great views of all of the big five! He had extensive knowledge about the animals and happily shared his country with us. Nico, our Tanzania guide was funny, kind, and never gave up on showing us everything we wanted to see! He listened to us and literally checked every box for a great guide! He even laughed at our jokes and made a huge impact on all of us! Every day we felt we had seen everything possible, and every day, our guides showed us there was more to see! From Lion cubs to Giraffes drinking from a watering hole, from baby warthogs to adorable dik diks…Africa’s big five…and what we called the little five, made for the trip of a lifetime!

We loved Perfect Wilderness, both Kenya and Tanzania. We were a party of 6 and had a vague idea of going on safari. They helped us with all the details and more. We stayed at a variety of different places each night and it was fun to experience them all. We were having trouble with the Kenya Travel VISA due to some weird things, but PW stuck with it and we were able to get all the proper paperwork. We loved Betty at the office who emailed and texted our many questions; and our airport pick up guy Peter. We also decided to book him for our free day in Nairobi, and he took us to a neat giraffe sanctuary and also a neat store called Kobe Tough which I will review soon. Our Kenyan safari driver was Sam, and our Tanzanian driver was Freddie. These gentlemen were both so very kind and thorough with getting bottled water, our park entrance passes, lunches, and all the little details to make our trip so wonderful. They were prompt and safe drivers, with a lot of fun and exciting surprises mixed in. It’s dusty in the Dry Season, so after dropping us at our hotels each afternoon they’d have to spend more time checking on and cleaning up the vans and preparing for the next day. Tip appropriately 🙃. The parks were amazing and the animals showed off for us constantly. Drivers know the trails and we saw plenty of animals all day every day. We realized we saw some new animal every day! POV: I would skip Manyara N.P. and fill it in with a more thorough day at Ngorongoro, or maybe the old olduvai gorge, or the suspended bridges or a bike ride or hike. This park needs to recover awhile and let the animals come back. Pro tip: get all the travel visas online before you go! And don’t get them too soon, as they are only good for something like 3 months.

We recently returned from our Amazing Safari with Perfect Wilderness! Before we started our safari, we did the elephant sanctuary and LOVED it - highly recommend! We started in Kenya...had a couple minor hiccups but Everline was ON it to rectify and we are easy travelers so it didn't impact our trip! Biking in Hell's Gate was super cool and a fun way to start the trip. Really enjoyed Maasai Mara and loved the animals we saw....watched a cheetah on the prowl. Met the Maasai Tribe, which was really interesting. Have cash on you as there are many opportunities to purchases things. Crossed into Tanzania, which was an easy process. Mustafa was Awesome in Tanzania - the Serengeti is a MUST! Probably our favorite as we saw everything here! Watched a Pride of Lions sleeping then start the hunt...we saw the whole process and while it was a bit sad for the zebra - the whole experience was incredibly insane and amazing! I may skip Manyara and upgrade your hotel in Arusha we didn't love the Venus Hotel but it was fine. We loved our rustic, moderate accommodations. Loved Osinon in the Seregenti and really loved them all. Our itinerary was well planned and made the safari so easy and relaxing! A Bucket Trip for sure! Happy Travels!

Incredible safari!! We visited the best of Kenya and Tanzania with amazing guides (George and Sereva, and the best private cook Christian) Perfect Safari helped us make such wonderful trip absolutely smooth and no issue at all. Everything went as planned. Our guides went above our expectations to make sure we saw as many animals as possible and yes we did see all the big 5! Every park we visited was very different, different landscapes, different animals. We loved sleeping in a tent for 3 nights, zebras came visit us early morning it was so wonderful! I would highly recommend Perfect Safaris, and we will definitely come back to Kenya, people are so welcoming and nice!

We highly recommend Perfect Wilderness! We did the 11 days, 10 nights Kenya & Tanzania Private Lodging Safari. Great price and our agent, Everline, was wonderful. Very responsive and answered all of my questions before and during the trip. We had a number of snafus (covid test issues, truck breaking) which could have really hampered our safari, but she was able to handle them all. We had our own driver and truck which was nice because Everline did warn us that we should bring everything we need. There are not much chances (or items are not available) on the road. Here are my takeaways: the Kenya side of the trip was “budget”. The Tanzania side was upscale and very enjoyable (they partner with Mama Savana. Ask for Harun as a guide). I would upgrade accommodations in Kenya, especially the Masai Mara camp (Lenchada). I would upgrade to another day in Masai Mara and Serengeti. Skip Hell’s Gate, Naivasha and Lake Manyara – very little to see. I would have added Amboseli. It’s pricey, but my guides really recommended it. Bring US$. Credit card machines were always “broken” and you lose on converting money to local and then using their conversion rate back to dollars to pay your bill. Most importantly, remember to bring the Hakuna Matata attitude!! You can’t enjoy yourself if you’re sweating the small stuff.

We are now on Safari with Chris Mutinda and we are already having a great time here. Everthing is well organized and the safaris are really exciting. Chris has a really good eye on seeing all the animals in the parks. It is also very interesting to hear what our guide teils us about all the animal. We really enjoy our holiday and would prefer Perfect Wilderness Safaris to everyone who is interested in wild animals.

Amazing Safari!! Had such a good time with our guides Joel & Julius. It was way better than what we expected - everything well timed and planned by the team and just a lot of fun overall. Will definitely recommend to anyone going there, adventure of a lifetime😍😍😍

What a wonderful trip. My friend and I hcouldnt have asked for more. Seeing the animals and learning so much about them was amazing. The Kenya safari was with Perfect Wilderness and the Tanzania was with their partner Mama Savanah. Nathan was our Kenya driver. Knowledgeable about the animals and spotting them. We had a cooler but ice is hard to find -Nathan had chilled water in morning. Lodgings were ok for budget tours- Lenchada Camp is showing its age. The staff everywhere is wonderful and really try to make you comfortable. Harun was our driver/guide for Tanzania- excellent guide. Very knowledgeable about the animals and their habits which enabled him to predict their actions. Recommended. We even had bottles of frozen water once. So we saw a lion kill and cheetah brothers together. Osinon Camp was a highlight of all our lodging. Everline at Perfect Wilderness is amazing. Quick to help and answered all our questions in timely fashion. Very helpful- very nice lady- got to have lunch with her. Met George -a co owner- in Lenchada Camp- such a nice funny guy A great experience. All your needs are attended to and requests taken care of. Highly recommended.

The communication was great throughout the process as I had purchased many months ahead of time. It is always unnerving purchasing online with unknown companies but have faith in TripAdvisor. The transportation and accommodations were arranged and we were able to enjoy our holiday, I had purchased the upgraded luxury option and to be honest was disappointed with the Kenya side for accommodation and food. The Kenya side of the safari is handled by Perfect Wilderness while the Tanzania side is through their sister company Mama Savana. We had a 4x4 Land Cruiser for both countries. I would recommend ensuring a 4x4 Land Cruiser especially during any rainy periods. In Kenya there were many companies that operate AWD eurovan which tend to get stuck in the mud. Our driver had to pull out a van and we witnessed many other drivers pull out other vans. Our driver guide in Kenya was Sammy. He was great, very informative and was very good at spotting animals. He was able to notice the behaviour of some animals and know that another animal was near. We would wait, and was able to see a black rhino and cheetah from observing behaviour. In Tanzania our driver was Amani. In Tanzania all the drivers are in radio contact with each other for the animals. Once a 'cat' was spotted all the drivers converge to that location. We drove the roads and if there was anything close to the road he would stop. A different observed approach to the two drivers. In Tanzania, it was much busier and other company drivers were very aggressive to the line up to the animals, they would push their way in to the front or spend far too long at the front while 100 other vehicles were waiting. Of course this is not the fault of the tour company but regulations are obviously in need. The 'curio' souvenir shops have the same items. While negotiating is their way, keep in mind, they will start 10x more than the cost. We had stopped at a shop and picked out a few items and when they told me the price, it was outrageous, I walked away. When at a souvenir shop in Arusha found the same items for a fraction of the curio shop. Drivers do have incentives for stopping at curio shops even if clients don't buy. Betty at Perfect Wilderness provided all the necessary information and communicated in a timely fashion.Everything was arranged and we did not have any unexpected expenses or surprises. Although USD is accepted at tourist locations the Kenya or Tanzania currency has better rates for local purchasing. ie a bottle of coke was $2USD or if local currency was used the conversion would have been $1USD. We would recommend Perfect Wilderness for your Safari needs!

We had an exceptional well organized and thoughly exciting and wonderful Safari in July 2019, thanks to the careful planning of Everline at Perfect Wilderness who helped guide and offer various options to customize our tour to our likes. She also kept in touch with us through our guide during the safari to make sure we were having a great time. The guide, Sammy for Kenya was exceptional and outstanding who made the entire tour very personable, friendly and informative. Sammy definitely did an exceptional job and was always provided insight and information to the various parks, animals and questions we had. Amani in Tazania was also good and we had a good time in the Tanzania parks.

Our 12 day safari, organized by Perfect Wilderness Tours, was made perfect by our excellent driver/guides, each one of them was courteous, professional, knowledgeable and friendly. From our arrival and pick-up at the Nairobi airport through our tour around Nairobi with Santa, our 5 days with Sammy in Kenya, and 5 days with Godson in Tanzania, we felt welcome, safe, and well provided for at all times. Both Sammy and Godson are excellent driver/guides who were able to spot a wonderful assortment of animals from the Big 5 (buffalo, rhino, elephant, leopard, lions) to dozens more, plus birds and reptiles. Each of our guide/drivers worked to get us as close as possible to the animals and patiently allowed us all the time we needed to observe and capture the perfect picture of each one. All this while being polite, kind and informative guides. Nothing was to much trouble for them to make sure we had our perfect trip of a lifetime. Picking a tour company from so many options can be daunting, we are so lucky to have chosen Perfect Wilderness Tours for our safari and would recommend the company without reservation.

Four of our friends take 12 days Safari trip between Aug. 22 to Sep. 4, With Perfect Wilderness Tours company. We are so satisfied with everything, from hotel, food, tour guide, game drive, .... We see big five, small five, ugly five, .... We see everything we should.Everyone came to Safari want to see wildebeests cross river. However, that is not guarantied. But we see three times in three days, so lucky us. Thank you for our guide -Sammy (Kenya side) and Hassan(Tanzania side). They are very knowledgeable, and experience. Thank you for George, Arrange our trip so perfect from beginning to end! We can not ask for more. We can not believe how lucky we are on this trip. Ping

Me & 3 other friends were on a private tour late August 2019. We did 12 nights Kenya & Tanzania safari trip. Nairobi, Naivasha, Nakura, Great rift valley, Maasai mara national reserve, the Serengeti national park, Ngorongoro conservation area, Amboseli national park, Kajiado, Nairobi. We want make sure we got a better deal with a better services. After 3 months researching, we decided to use Perfect Wilderness and we glad we did. We're so happy with their excellent services from beginning to end. The communications with Betty & Beatrice was easy & quick. Our driver & guide Sammy ( Kenya side ) & Hassan ( Tanzania side ) were very friendly, helpful & knowledgeable. We're very lucky to see the migration with the thousands of Wildebeests & Zebras to crossing in Maasai Mara 3 times in 3 days, all because we had very experience guide. Thank you to the Perfect Wilderness for giving us an amazing lifetime & memorable experience! We highly recommend their service!!! Stephanie

Our trip was well organized by Mr.George.
His tour guide Mr.Godson in Tanzania was really very informative.
Overall this was good trip except I will suggest the last two days stop in the Manyara lake can be adjusted in the Crater are. The stay in the Crater was too short. I will suggest more time in the Gonogoro and crater.
Otherwise, this is a good programme except for the last two days should be readjusted for the Gonogoro and crater.
I can recommend the George Mumba, good organizer.

Perfect Wilderness Tours and Safari Excellent Private Safari Tours with Great flexibilities and Fantastic Tour Guide/Driver. After extensive research online, I’ve decided on this Tour Company due to its Quick and Comprehensive responds from the Tour Manager Mr. George Mumba and the excellent flexibility of the dates and programs. The payment process was simple and straight forward with my AMX Card by PayPal ( with 4% surcharge, which I don’t mind since I am accumulating Skymile benefits by using this method, there are other payments methods that are surcharge free) I am accustomed to Luxury style of traveling, but I would rather cut out the middleman by booking with local destination agency directly. Most often if you book through a American travel Company, all they do is subcontracts out the Tours and adding on commissions on top the price of the package. We booked the Safari starting from Nairobi to the Masai Mara in Kenya then to the Serengeti in Tanzania, and in addition we have requested a full day tour in Nairobi. And we were extremely pleased with the arrangements the agency made: The Elephant Orphanage, The Giraffe Conservation and Breeding Center, and the Nairobi National Park(10 Hours Full Day) Our Tour Group consisted on 2 couples. We booked our own Hotel in Nairobi the first 2 nights Nairobi Hilton Hotel, and our traveling friend couple had the Presidential Suite, and we had the Luxury Suite. We have requested for the Best Available accommodations for the Safari Package and we were very pleased with All the Hotel/Lodge/Camp Accommodations and the delicious meals provided there.( will write individual reviews for each accommodations in Hotel/Lodge section of TravelAdvisor): Keep in mind that most of the Safaris Lodges runs on generators for electric power( thus periods of total power outage usually from 12 midnight to 4am)The Camp in Serengeti runs on Solar power ( thus hot water is only available until the dark cool night turns the water COLD). If you have a room mate likes to take long showers, make sure you get to take shower first! Sopa Masai Mara Lodge Sopa Lake Naivasha Lodge Mawe Serengeti Camp Ngorongoro Farm House Mount Meru Hotel Arusha (Breakfast Only, self pay dinner) Both our Tour Guides in Kenya (Sammy)and Tanzania (Abraham) took great care of us, and our Safty and Comfort are always their top concerns. Our Kenyan Guide Sammy even drove us after a long day of touring to the Best restaurant in Nairobi on Valentines night and waited for us in the car and drove us back to the hotel at very late night. ( left the hotel at 7:30pm arrive the Restaurant at 8:30pm, Return to the Hotel at 11:00pm) and keep in mind he will pick us up at 7:00 am the next morning and drive us all day on the way to Masai Mara. The road conditions in Rural Kenya and Tanzania are in extremely poor conditions and we were very comforted by the fact that they both are extremely cautious, Safty minded and competent drivers. Warnings: this trip is NOT for people with neck or back problems! Our friends had to return home half way through the trip due to one of their physical issues, and George from the Agency was extremely helpful to secure air transportation from the Masai Mara Airstrip to Nairobi on a short notice. George was also able to assist us to obtain flight arrangements to fly back to Nairobi from Arusha Tanzania ( instead of the 6 Hours Road ride- which we are dreading by now. And the 7am early start time also not so appealing ). We were able to sleep in and check out the hotel at 11:00am and take a short 50 minuets flight back to Nairobi( the plane fare was not cheap - $ 280 per person bought 2 days in advance. I’m think it probably would be a lot cheaper if we have arranged far in advance). Mr. George Mumba even personally picked us up from the Nairobi Airport and drove us to the Airport Hotel. He is a very nice man and we discovered that he started as a Tour Guide himself after College and able to build this company from the ground up. We were able to see All the Big Fives during our Safaris ( our friends saw 4 before their departure) A Fabulous Time had by All. Many times during the Safaris we are ready to give up on seeing All the BIG fives, but thru the endless determination of our Fine Guides that we were successful at our Goals! I would Highly recommend Perfect Wilderness Tours and Safari Without any Reservations. They are good people and very nice to deal with.

Took a group of clients to Africa on a photography Safari and really enjoyed the professionalism of Perfect Wilderness and Safaris. The driver Sami was amazing and hard working. Had great knowledge of the animals and had a great game plan of where to go in each park. George was more than helpful organizing the safari and went above and beyond helping with clients. I will be using them to see Africa in the near future.

It was an amazing experience and I hadnt any problem during the trip (just one), my advices to change a couple of things to agency I did by email. In Tanzania I slept in tents with a sleeping bags and it was a shocket because I waited other thing but finally i decided to enjoy and forget about the tents,as there a general camps you must carry with you towel and light. Excellent Masai Mara,Nakuru, Serengueti,Norongoro and Tarangire park.

Excellent tour. We enjoyed it very much! Thanks, George!

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.
