I especially enjoyed the Thorn Tree Camp accommodations, as there were zebra grazing and hyenas freely patrolling the grounds. The only drawback was the floor in the bathroom section of the tent, which was quite uneven. The view from our Sangaiwe [Tarangire] tent was amazing!

This safari in Kenya and Tanzania was absolutely amazing! The guides and drivers were so knowledgeable and skillful in finding the best opportunities to view animals in action in their habitat. The accommodations and choices of experiences were excellent! We were so excited to see a papa lion guarding 11 lion cubs, a leopard leaping out of a tree to chase a prey, and so many elephants and wildebeest in the great migration. We highly recommend this safari with Collette!

Felix was knowledgeable and knew where to find the Big 5. The drivers were also very enjoyable and knowledgeable and very accommodating. Food at various locations was excellent. It was very eye opening to visit a Masai village. The people were very warm and friendly. The skill involved in shooting a bird for their first catch of the day was amazing as well as making fire and cooking the bird.Amy Lilly

The game drives were incredible and we saw so many animals that we were just amazed! We however were disappointed with the accommodations at the Thorn Tree Camp in Karatu, Tanzania. It's a very tired property that needs updating. During our three nights there, we had no hot water for two of them. One additional observation is that the original assignment of vehicles at the very beginning of the tour was chaotic. We were a total group of 18 traveling in 3 vehicles and to our group of five an additional couple was added making for a total of 7 traveling in one vehicle (there was a solo traveler that could have made it a group of 6 in each vehicle but instead we had our 7 in one vehicle, 6 in another vehicle and only 5 in the third vehicle). We were disappointed that the Tour Manager never took control of this situation by assigning 6 travelers to each vehicle.

The tour itself was great. The locations, activities and wild animals made the whole thing very much worthwhile. Some of the lodgings were in tents or lodges without AC, but that's what we expected so no surprise. The food was good but not great. Things to know: 1) the dust in the dry season can be unbelievably bad, 2) there are many other tour operators out there, so you are likely to be in a queue of 20 vehicles all trying to see the same sleeping lion.

My sister researched and found this Collette safari. It was a splurge for us. This safari was the most memorable experience I have had in my travels. I saw all five of the big five, four in just one day. The accommodations were wonderful and well-placed for all of our overnighting. We were blessed with exceptional weather too. Our guide, Alfred, was awesome and full of knowledge about the animals and where we would likely see each kind, the plants in each zone and their uses and what ate them, and the geography of each country and zone we traveled in. We knew the night before where we would journey the following day, where we would rest, and what was on the menu. All of our drivers were also wonderful and our driver throughout Tanzania, Raymond, was a joy for to be with for the 10 days we were together.Brad Czarske

Really enjoyed our African Tour, it included the Serengeti, Amboseli National Park and a lot more. Our tour Director was Felix and he did a wonderful job leading our group and keeping us informed as we progressed through Africa. The only downside was the roads for the Safaris they made the ride very difficult and uncomfortable. They were like a washboard and when we were moving at a quick speed it was really uncomfortable. We were not warned in advance that we would need to "pick the flowers" when no formal washroom was available. Felix said that he had toilet paper but he was not in our vehicle when we had to "Pick the flowers". The Glamping was OK, but some of the tents really did not keep the bugs out and the crickets got in and were extremely loud. Also had a bat in one hotel and a very large roach. Food was acceptable but not great. The buffets were almost all the same foods with minor differences and not one could cook chicken. The chicken at every facility was like a rock. My husband took the Serengeti Air ballon Safari and loved it. He felt it should be offered by Collette. In spite of the negatives mentioned here I really loved the experience. Thanks.

The whole experience was amazing. The Serengeti and the Amboseli National park were a wonderful experience. We saw most of the wildlife that you would have expected. The length of time spent on safari was long because we saw the same wildlife repeatedly and the rough roads really made for a very long day. Our tour guide was Felix and he mentioned the east coast of Africa was more of a beach environment and would have made a little more relaxing few days instead of driving on unpaved, dirt, rough roads the entire trip. My average rating for the accommodations is not because the idea of Glamping was bad but the tents themselves were not pleasant to stay in. One of the facilities had wood around the perimeter and it was either rotted or termite invested and allowed bugs to get into the rooms. The food was almost always buffet, ok but not inspired and about the same at all the different places we stayed. Choices were ok, 2 entres were offered at all the places so you did have choices. They should not serve chicken, every place we stayed the chicken was rock hard and dry as the Serengeti. The tour was infact very enjoyable but with reservations.John Ruglass

Great safari’s. Tour director and safari drivers were wonderful. We saw the big 5 plus the Great Migration. We had great cultural experiences. We got very close to elephants, lions, giraffes, zebras, cheetahs, leopards, etc but yet always felt safe. The tents and lodges were nice, and the food was good. I had friends on a different (more expensive) safari tour in Tanzania at the same time, but in comparing notes and photos, they saw so much less than we did. I highly recommend Collette for the Kenya and Tanzania tour. We did the Masai Mara pre tour extension and are glad we did! It was fantastic. Go now, as Africa is changing.

Titus Kivuyo and his drivers were professionally excellent. Our driver in Kenya (Phil) and Tanzania (Qamara—not sure of spelling) were very knowledgeable and safe drivers. Because of it being extremely hot, Titus did know his clients and adjusted the drives so we were not out in the heat of the day. So thankful he took care of us. Both drivers (Phil and Qamara) were stopped and maneuvered vehicles so we could get good pictures. Letting us have as much time needed to get the right shots. Food was good. Accommodations were good. All the employees at all the places were there to serve us. Very polite and accommodating—taking luggage as soon as we arrived, bringing wash clothes and drinks. Plenty of bottled water. Can’t say enough about the care we were given by EVERYONE!

The animals. I did not know I had photos of so many different animals until I got home. The people. I found I could not just leave them forever. I did some digging and reconnected with 3 special people who live hundreds of miles away. The rides. Perfect. My chiropractor said my back was perfect when I got back. This is the first time! Because I could not lean back due to bumps, etc., I was moving in all directions keeping my back limber. The food. Loved the soups. All special diets were addressed. The accommodations were perfect.

Wonderful, wonderful experience a bucket list that I have been wanting to do and finally achieve that in January and February. Best tour guy that you guys could possibly have Felix was outstanding and our Jeep drivers were so knowledgeable we had Jackson and the experience was made so much better by having him as a driver any questions we ask him or Felix they knew the answer. They are so proud of their country and it shows in the way that they treat people and talk about their country I would recommend this tour to anybody that asked me about it which I already have. I have told all my friends family and anyone that asked yes this is a tour you need to take and you need to take it through Collette. Great time great time.Donna Haydon

This is an amazing tour!!! One o would do again (after a year or two). If anyone is even considering this, my answer is DO IT! The African Safari is exhausting. It’s not all walking, hiking, and moving, but 14 days in rough riding jeeps on dusty, dry, dirt roads is exhausting on a body. I would have loved to have a couple of down days, but our guide wanted to give us the best opportunity to see everything - and he did!! The people in Africa could not have been kinder or more appreciative of us being there. *** If you have any kind of chronic digestive issue, be very cautious of how long you will be away from a bathroom. 3 hours turned into 7 at one point.Deanna Myers

I love the combination of the Safari drives, but also learning about local people schools, culture, etc. Our tour guide Robert Marks really made this trip super super special. He was very informative, sure we got to see the big 5+ a cheetah and managed the whole trip so it flowed seamlessly.My one recommendation would be to be clear in the Literature about how rough the drives are and maybe even note something about people with any spinal issues might want to reconsider. Several people on our trip had neck and low back issues and they were very uncomfortable for most of the time. But for me, it was the trip of a lifetime. !
