My African Safari: A journey in Tanzania with African Celebrity Tours and and Travels
Watching Discovery Channel, National Geographic Channel, since childhood and dreaming about Serengeti. Have always wanted to visit this destination. Once we reached there, discovered a very clean country in Tanzania with great hospitality. It was a very short tour of just 6 days with 5 complete days of game viewing. Muli and Livin of African Celebrity Tours and Travels were our contacts in Tanzania. They ensured as guests we have a detailed plan and communication about the tour and our destinations. Livin further ensured that we were able to see all the wildlife crossing Serengeti. The stay and travel was very well arranged with proper timing and support. We saw the Big 5, Livin has great knowledge about wildlife and updated us about the various quirks and was patient with us as we were randomly stopping the car to take pictures. Was delighted to see the attitude of these wild animals, it just speaks of: " Do whatever you want, we don't give a damn... This is our home." They just went on about their lifestyle, without being perturbed by the existence of humans and cars around. Untamed Africa...we also saw a lion stealthily following a herd of Thomson Gazelles and a herd of zebras to make a kill. It was fantastic. Ngorongoro is the 8th wonder of the world since, over there about 100 species of wildlife co-habit with peace. It was fantastic to see the variety in one place. My favorite though is Serengeti with endless savanna grassland, golden grass stretching far and wide and all the wildlife scattered in it. I wished to visit a Masai Village, and even though it was not on our schedule Muli and Livin squeezed it in our tour to give us that experience. I also got a Swahili hairstyle done thanks to Livin who managed to take out time for the same in a salon and asked negotiated a fair price. They make customers happy and know how to delight them with their support and care and respects their wishes. Had some great experiences, shots and videos. If you truly love nature and wildlife this is heaven. Assante Muli and Livin! This is the best holiday I have had and I will come back for the African magic again to you guys.

Unforgettable !
Africa Celebrity Tours & Travels agency is simply the best.
Joseph (the tour guide) knows a lot, has eyes in the back of his head, so sees a lot during the game drives.
I will definitely choose you again because you give nothing but the best.
Many thanks again to Joseph, for making this safari an unforgettable one!

A dream came true!
Together with my 20 year old son, we visited Africa for the first time. We booked through the Dutch agency www.safariinafrica.nl and were welcomed by Muli and our driver Peter in our hotel in Nairobi. The first day we drove to Amboseli. Peter is an amazing guide, he knew exactly what the elephants planned to do when there were too many cars surrounding them, so we had an amazing view!
Unfortunately Peter got sick the next day and a replacement was arranged very professionally. Paul accompanied us the rest of the trip and did a wonderful job. He spotted a lot of animals and told us so many interesting stories. We went from Lake Navaisha to Lake Nakuru and last but not least Masai Mara. In 6 days we spotted the Big Five, a dream came true!
When we got back to Nairobi, Muli came to the hotel to ask us about our experiences. Very much appreciated!
Since we had not other Safari experiences we cannot compare, but for us it was all so well organised; the communication, the Safari itself, the people, the accomodations, the food: excellent service from the beginning to the end!

Organization at the highest level
We went on a safari together with my husband in March 2021. The organization of the tour is at a height, Muli answered very quickly to a million questions from our side, an individual approach to organizing the tour, all wishes are taken into account :) And in a few days as a bonus to the already agreed program Muli offered to replace accommodation in MM in a lodge of a higher category without any additional payments, and right on the eve of departure, they also offered to meet absolutely free of charge on the day of arrival in Nairobi, and this is provided that our Safari started only the next day;) on the way Muli's tour also fulfilled all our wishes, on the last day he took us to the mall and helped us choose tea / coffee for souvenirs, recommended hotels for the part of the trip not related to Safari, helped organize domestic flights in Kenya. He also kindly helped us after the safari with any questions :) On the safari itself - we saw all the five and all the cats, even the leopard on the last day solely thanks to Muli's skill, took crazy photos of elephants and giraffes at sunset, Muli constantly chose the best angles for us for photos. Highly recommend Africa Celebrity Tours, especially with Muli. Muli is very positive, fiery, knows a lot about birds and animals, loves his job very much and you can feel it in the quality of service :)

4 Days Safari Tour with Joseph
My bf and I went a 4 days safari tour with Joseph, highly recommend it! Joseph is very patient and kind and professional, he did best to find animals for us in Masai Mara, and told us full knowledge about animals. We spent 2 nights in Jambo Mara Lodge and 1 night in Fish Eagle Inn. Jambo Mara is beautiful, food is good and room is perfect. Recommend it! Fish Eagle Inn is ok, food is very good and environment is beautiful but it's strange that there were only me and my bf as guests in the whole hotel, if you dont mind this you can enjoy peaceful time there. Besides this everything is perfect, we had a very memorial time in Kenya!

Very accommodating and thoughtful in planning for the best client experience
Muli was referred to us by a family friend who previously booked their Africa trip through him. Muli helped coordinate our honeymoon that was split between hiking Kilimanjaro and visiting the Serengeti and Masai Mara. Although Muli was not with us on the trip itself, he made sure we were in the best hands during the whole trip.
What made the experience with Muli so memorable was that not only was he extremely communicative and willing to answer any question in a timely manner, but he was also extremely accommodating and solution oriented as he worked with us on multiple occasions to ensure the best possible experience. Depending on your needs or level of luxury, Muli will propose a range of options and work on accommodating for your travel needs.
Prior to our arrival, Muli outlined our itinerary in great detail that we reviewed and adjusted on several occasions. Upon our arrival, the entire process was extremely smooth as we were picked up at the airport, taken to our hotel, transferred to our team that would help us (successfully) summit Kilimanjaro and back - helping us gather last minute hiking needs - then transfer us to the team that would accommodate us on Tanzania portion of the safari and then later help us cross into Kenya.
All in all, our experience with Muli was phenomenal and would recommend him to anyone looking to plan a visit.

The most wonderful travel memory in my life
Before I went on a safari in Kenya, I never thought I would have such an unforgettable travel experience.
Before setting off, I had a long and thorough communication and preparation with muli. Make sure everything is arranged.
After arriving, during the following five days of the journey, our driver and guide Joseph brought us an unforgettable safari trip in kenya.
I have to say that Joseph is a driver with extremely superb driving skills. He drives for at least eight hours every day. He is really amazing. Without using google Maps, he can always find the nearest way at the fastest speed and get close to any animal from the closest distance and the most perfect perspective.
In Kenya, we saw elephants, giraffes, hyenas, cheetahs, leopards, lions, hippos, crocodiles, buffaloes, antelopes, baboons, hyenas, and countless other animals and scenes that can only be seen on the bbc. The only regret is that I didn't get to see the rhinoceros. However, there is no such thing as perfection in this world. Regret is the most perfect.
Joseph is also a professional guide. He even brought an animal encyclopedia on the bus. When we were not familiar with the habits of animals, he would open that book and answer our questions one by one.
He was even very considerate. When we were returning to the airport, he would ask us if we needed to buy some local specialties. So he specially drove for more than half an hour to take us to a local supermarket. We were able to buy very good local specialty goods at a very low price.
Finally, I really want to thank Joseph. He made our journey very relaxing, pleasant and unforgettable. If there is another chance, I will still choose celebrity and Joseph as our guides next time.

If you are considering booking with Africa Celebrity Tours, go for it with full confidence.
We had an absolutely wonderful 7-day safari trip in Kenya, and our tour guides Peter & Edward were truly the best. We also feel that our group of eight was the perfect team!
Peter is kind, responsible, and incredibly attentive. He explained everything along the way — not only the wildlife and national parks, but also the culture and religion of the villages we passed. He was extremely patient, and even more determined than we were to find the animals we hoped to see, using his incredibly sharp eyes. Most importantly, he has a fantastic sense of humor. After just seven days together, we already felt like friends — joking, talking about faith, work, and life. Saying goodbye was surprisingly emotional.
If you are considering booking with Africa Celebrity Tours, go for it with full confidence. They follow every detail of your itinerary, and also give valuable suggestions during planning.
We stayed at Sopa Lodges in Amboseli and Naivasha — both were excellent, especially Naivasha Sopa, which we highly recommend.
In Maasai Mara, we originally wanted to stay at Sopa as well but it was fully booked, so we chose the classic Muthu Keekorok Lodge. Because they were overbooked on the first night, we were upgraded to Sarova Mara Game Camp, which exceeded our expectations and we loved it.
In comparison, Muthu Keekorok became the weakest hotel of our trip. The environment is nice and the Hippo Bar is interesting (though the hippos smell!), but the food quality was the worst among all lodges, and the room facilities were quite old — especially the door lock. However, this has absolutely nothing to do with Africa Celebrity Tours, and I simply wouldn’t recommend this lodge to friends who haven’t visited Kenya yet.
Once again, thank you to Africa Celebrity Tours for this amazing experience. I will definitely recommend you to my friends.
Until we meet again!

Most amazing week in Kenya
Everything went perfectly smooth during our Safari trip. Our guide Peter is experienced and kind. He can remember all the roads in the national park and has never lost. The driving skills are also very good. I can feel that he takes good care of us and will not let the car be too upside down. If you have any questions or needs, you can communicate with him, and he will be enthusiastic to answer and arrange for us. In a week of getting along, we can feel his enthusiasm and professionalism, as well as the sincerity of Africa Celebrity. The communication with Carl before the trip was smooth, and the needs were met.
