Kenya & Tanzania Honeymoon Trip Review: Nairobi, Maasai Mara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Zanzibar, Game Drives, Balloon Safari

Maurice did a great job organizing our trip. Our itinerary was thoughtfully planned and the communication to prepare for our trip was superb. We landed in Nairobi and spent one night there before heading to the national parks. Our hotel room was specially decorated for our honeymoon, which we appreciated.

Our first safari was at Maasai Mara. The game drives were spectacular and our guides were very knowledgeable. We highly recommend the balloon safari; it was our most memorable experience. The camp was very nice and the staff extremely friendly. However, we were told the camp was equipped with WiFi, but upon arrival, we learned there was no WiFi there. We ended up paying for an international data plan for three days.

Our next stop was the Serengeti. The driver we were supposed to meet didn't show due to car trouble. Instead, another driver met us, but he was late and not familiar with our itinerary. We got lost while driving to our campground and it took us three hours to locate it. We were too tired to go on the half-day game drive. 

The next day, we had a full-day game drive and saw many animals, making the safari unforgettable. However, our car broke down on our way back to camp and we had to take a detour to a checkpoint to get it fixed. We highly recommend the Serengeti Camp. It was our best lodging experience and the staff were unbeatable.

Our last safari was at Ngorongoro Crater, which was another unforgettable experience. Although we wished we could have spent more than a couple of hours there. Zanzibar was a great way to end our trip and our hotel was a perfect spot for relaxation before heading home.

There were a couple of mishaps during our trip, some of which were uncontrollable and not a result of planning, but overall, we are very happy with the experience. Thanks to Maurice and our travel company for everything!

Kenya, Tanzania Vacation Review: Nairobi, Amboseli, Lake Nakuru, Maasai Mara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Zanzibar

Our couple's trip to Kenya, Tanzania, and Zanzibar was truly amazing and a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We went to Nairobi, Amboseli, Lake Nakuru, Maasai Mara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Zanzibar over two weeks.

Zicasso’s travel agency made it an easy and seamless experience. They communicated well, took care of us before we landed, and provided guidance on everything we needed, including what to pack.

After we landed, they met us at the airport, provided all transfers, and had their experienced drivers transport us around the country and take us on game drives. We loved our time with our guides in Kenya and Tanzania.

We were also able to visit a Maasai village and learn about their culture. It was wonderful to talk over campfires and learn about their experiences.

The service at every camp and hotel was exceptional, and whenever we had a question or issue, our agent was quickly available to triage.

We would, without hesitation, highly recommend a trip like this! Do it!

Our agent gave us the most magical trip and was able to keep it within our budget.

Kenya & Tanzania Vacation Review: Amboseli National Park, Maasai Mara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Zanzibar, Stone Town, Safari

February 2021, I submitted a request through Zicasso to plan a group trip to Kenya,Tanzania and Zanzibar for June 2022. I was matched with Maurice. This travel company has surpassed our expectations and provided an amazing experience we will never forget. The camps were top rated, and we had a fantastic time there. In fact, all the accommodations we stayed at were phenomenal. They were beautiful, clean, each room had an amazing view, the staff were very attentive, and the food was top notch. Maurice even planned a few surprises for our group along the way.

Maurice booked all of our in-country transfers (both by car and plane). All we had to do was show up at the lobby of each accommodation at the time specified and everything else was taken care of. Our drivers were exceptional as well. We spent time in Amboseli National Park, Maasai Mara, the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and ended on the beach of Zanzibar. Our drivers at Amboseli had many years’ experience, they were very knowledgeable about all of the animals. Within 5 minutes landing at the air strip, they took us straight to see many of the animals, especially a family of cheetahs eating their prey! Our drivers at the Maasai Mara were great as well. We told him we wanted to see a lots of lions and they didn’t disappoint. On our morning game drive, we saw lions feasting on a buffalo, we also saw a leopard with a vulture in a tree. Our drivers in the Serengeti & Ngorongoro were excellent as well, they took us to all the best locations to capture the animals. We were even able to catch a glimpse of a rhino in the distance. They did their best to ensure we were able to see the big 5 and the ugly 5. We then ended the trip visiting Zanzibar’s beaches, a spice tour & Stone Town.

I highly recommend using Maurice and this travel company for travel tours, safaris and vacations in the future and look forward to working with him again! Asante sana!

Luxury Africa Safari in Kenya & Tanzania Review: Amboseli National Park, Masaai Mara National Reserve, Serengeti, Ngorogoro Crate
This travel company has surpassed our expectations and provided an amazing experience we will never forget. The itinerary our trip planner provided was excellent. Typically in June (the time we went), the migration is still in the Serengeti, however this year, the migration headed to Kenya early. Our planner had booked a camp in the Western Serengeti that would have overlooked the migration, however nature is unpredictable. The camp was top rated and we still had a fantastic time there. In fact, all the accommodations we stayed at were phenomenal. They were beautiful, clean, each room had an amazing view, the staff were all very attentive, and the food was top notch.  My husband and I are well traveled, and this was by far the least stressful and worry-free trip we've taken thanks to our trip planner's meticulous planning. Aside from the flight there and one intracountry flight, the planner booked all of our transfers (both by car and plane). All we had to do was show up at the lobby of each accommodation at the time specified and everything else was taken care of. All of our drivers were exceptional as well. We spent time in Amboseli National Park, Masaai Mara, the Serengeti and Ngorogoro Crater and unbeknownst to us, the trip planner had set up private drivers for us! Our first driver at Amboseli has over 30 years experience, he was very knowledgeable about all of the animals. Within 5 minutes of entering the national park, he took us straight away to see lion cubs! Our driver at the Masaai Mara was great as well. We told him we wanted to see a cheetah and straight away, he found one for us. We even got a chance to follow it and witness it attempt a hunt! He also was able to find a leopard (which is very hard to find) and got us front row seats to it eating its prey. Our final driver in the Serengeti customer service was impeccable. As soon as we landed he had provided us snacks and coffee all set up before we headed to the first game drive. He also made sure we were able to finish seeing the big 5 as the only thing left to see was the rhino. With our final driver, we also saw a lion hunt as well!

Kenya Africa Safari Travel Review: Maasai Mara National Reserve, Ol Pejeta Conservancy, Local Women's Village

This was a fabulous trip from beginning to end. Our travel planner from this travel company was engaging from his first email of introduction of himself and the company. He managed all our requests including a visit to the Umoja Women Village near the Samburu Game Reserve. It was a special request of mine that turned out to be a moving and memorable experience. Our safari driver/guide was excellent, personable and a joy to send our time with. Our driver/guide is experienced with the eyes of a hawk in spotting game.

Travel Review: Africa Safari, Kenya, Nairobi, Massai Mara, Hot Air Balloon Tour

The trip was great in all respects.  Our main agent was responsive and true to all advice and promises.  The team he assembled for us was likewise wonderful. Our main driver and guide took great care of us at the overnight in Nairobi, too.  

The camp venues were perfect for us.  Each day we saw new animals that we added to our lists.  The final camp Eagle View in the Maasai Mara could have been split into three camps in that group.  I would have preferred this but it wasn't an option at booking or in our itinerary.  Even so the camp was marvelous.  The balloon ride was an option we took; enjoyed it immensely! 

Overall a super experience.  I would recommend this travel company to anyone looking to personalize a trip to Kenya.
