A Memorable Safari Experience
My husband and I recently completed an 8 day Kenya and Tanzania safari tour with Leo Beast and overall had a positive experience.
Before arriving, we were very impressed with how easy communication was with Lizzy. Her response time was excellent, and she patiently answered all of our questions leading up to the trip.
Our time in Kenya went very smoothly and was the highlight of the tour. Accommodations included a fixed tent and a hotel, we saw the Big Five along with many other animals up close, and although some days were long, they never felt tiring because there was so much to see. Our guide, Solomon, was exceptional. He shared extensive knowledge about the animals, could spot even the smallest birds from far away, and actively communicated with other guides to help track wildlife.
The Tanzania portion of the trip was more challenging. The first day lasted over 12 hours and involved multiple logistical stops and passenger pickups before reaching the Serengeti, which limited our game drive time to under two hours that day. We were also not informed until after arriving in Nairobi that accommodations in Tanzania would be tent camping. This would have been helpful to know in advance, especially as the mattress and sleeping bag provided at Seronera Camp were not in good condition.
The following day started later due to heavy rain, and our game drive included a long wait for another passenger who was participating in a hot air balloon safari. Because of the park’s size and ongoing rain, wildlife sightings were limited. We then traveled to Simba Camp, which was a good campsite. On our final day, we visited the Ngorongoro Crater. While the weather improved, animal sightings were still limited. That said, the landscapes throughout Tanzania were absolutely beautiful.
If you are deciding between Kenya and Tanzania, we would recommend Kenya for better overall value. Accommodations were more comfortable, the Maasai Mara felt less crowded than the Serengeti and Ngorongoro in December, and because the park is smaller, there is a higher likelihood of seeing animals during game drives.
I would definitely book with Leo Beast again as it is an affordable way to experience a safari, and working with Lizzy is easy and stress-free.
As a side note, we took the shuttle bus from Nairobi to Arusha and crossed the border. For Americans, the visa on arrival costs $100 and is an easy process. Credit cards are accepted.

We had an amazing time and Lizzy was extremely helpful
We really enjoyed our safari - our safari guide, Martin, was very knowledgeable and ensured we got amazing views of all the wildlife. Lizzy was also prompt at responding to us and even helped us organise our plans in Nairobi after we finished the safari. Just to note that all the accomodation during the safari was different from what was advertised online (although the standard of accomodation seemed similar). This didn't bother us but I can imagine it would be upsetting if you had booked the trip based on this information.

Trip of a Lifetime!!
I am a solo-traveller from US and i did a 10 day tour of Kenya and Tanzania with camping option.
First of all, working with Lizzy was a great experience. She answered all my questions patiently. She is very communicative, professional and takes pride in providing a good service to her clients. My airport pickup was smooth, i was landing late night in Nairobi and was worried about the logistics of the pickup but the team did a great job and i felt very try safe and comfortable. Lizzy personally picked me up from my hotel in Nairobi the day the safari started to help with luggage. On my last day in Nairobi after the safari too, she arranged an excursion for me on short notice and i really appreciate that. They are a small and growing company but with the quality of service they provide, i am sure they will grow tremendously.
The Safari itself was AMAZING. We saw the Big 5 within 2 days in Kenya. The travellers are matched with people who book the same itinerary even if they booked from different companies. My group and guide in Kenya Timothy were all good people and our guide went above and beyond to show us the beauty of the savannah. The accommodations were better than i expected, good food, charging ports and even Wi-Fi
available in camps.
This trip was very good value for money, don’t hesitate to book it, it will be a great experience !!

Experienced drivers for the best safari tour!
Started with Lizzy the staff who did the arrangement for me, she was so attentive & did well on her job.
Next is Kevin, the best driver anyone could ask for. He is so experienced, knew every corner in Masai Mara & Nakuru, not even his skills are exceptionally great, but his personality as a human is also the best. He tried his best when we were in rush on our way back & everyone were safely transported to our end destination in Nairobi. I will personally request Kevin as my driver for my next safari tour in Kenya =)

Amazing safari adventure with leobeast tours and safaris
I can honestly say we were extremely Happy with our choice by using leobeast tours and safaris for our 7 days masai mara Nakuru Naivasha Amboseli.
Dickson was very knowledgeable about the animal and the parks in general and were able to fulfill all our request. Flexible and he did everything he could to ensure a fantastic safari experience.
I can recommend this company and Dickson to everyone.
