Yellow Zebra Safaris

"We just came back from a nine day Safari to Kenya and I cannot say enough how impressed I was with the advice we received from Yellow Zebra as well as with the superb organization from this trip. This was my husband’s first trip to Kenya and my first after 30 years. From the pickup at our hotel in Nairobi until our return to Nairobi everything went smoothly and we did not have to worry about anything. We stayed in two very different places. First, at Lewa Wilderness in the Lewa North Conservancy, where we got to see a lot of rhinos. Lewa Wilderness is a family owned camp. We stayed in a spacious but cozy cottage with view over the river - fabulous. The Lewa team was welcoming and extremely professional. We had our own guide who did an exceptional job explaining all the wildlife in Lewa. This is a little bigger camp with lots of activities. I think it is the perfect stop to start a safari for families and those who need to be eased into the safari experience. Kudos to Matt, our agent at Yellow Zebra Safaris, who had advised us to start here. Our next stop was Ngare Serenai in the Mara North Conservancy. A small camp with only four luxury tents across the Mara River. To get to it, one has to cross a narrow hanging bridge. The camp staff made us feel like we are being part of the family, especially Fatima, our host. There were only a few guests and we were the only ones our last two days. Our guide and driver James had a breath of knowledge to share not only about the wildlife but also about the Masai and the Conservancy. One day we did a bush walk in the morning where we hiked up to the rim to get a fabulous view over the plains. The wildlife is very different from Lewa. We saw lions, leopards and cheetahs and lots of game. It also had started to rain in the Mara, so everything was very green. Thanks again to Yellow Zebra Safaris for organizing this outstanding trip that exceeded our expectations."

"We have just returned from an amazing 2 week safari in Tanzania and beach break in Zanzibar. It was our first safari and I'm so pleased that, after much research, I opted to book with Yellow Zebra. The service we received from our agent, Lauren Van de Meer, was second to none. From the start to the end of our holiday, every moment was magical! We were delighted with the standard of accommodation and the exceptional service we had from all staff, whether it be from our driver/guide or any of the staff in the camps. During my stay, I was ill ( probably from the Malaria tablets) and I just want to express my gratitude to Laura for organising medication which was flown out to the Serengeti in just over 12 hours from the moment I contacted her! Thank you so much! We had a holiday of a lifetime and would not hesitate to recommend Yellow Zebra to anyone."

"My husband and I just got back from the most amazing honeymoon trip in Tanzania booked with Yellow Zebra! We really had no idea what we were doing planning this trip and Olivia made it all so easy. We knew we wanted the trip to be part safari part beach. Olivia asked us about our interests and designed us the perfect itinerary to fit exactly what we hoped to experience on the trip. She was very responsive and helped us every step of the way, giving us advice on where to stay and when to go so that we were present for the height of the wildebeest migration and could see the most animals. We were nervous about travelling with all that could go wrong due to covid testing, delays, etc but Olivia kept us updated on any kind of requirements and the whole trip was genuinely seamless. Everything including domestic flights, transfer drives, all our meals, hotel stays everything was included so we really didn’t have to worry about a single thing on this trip. We stayed at all Lemala camps and lodges while on safari (Ngorongoro, Ndutu and Nanyukie) and all of our guides were very informative and helpful and really seemed to want us to experience as much as we could. Our beach resort, Kilindi, Olivia personally recommended and my husband and I have never been so pampered in our lives it is truly paradise. Everywhere we stayed they decorated our bed and gave us free champagne since it was our honeymoon. My husband and I also both had our birthdays during the trip and the hotels were informed so that we each got a celebratory cake on our birthday! This was an incredible once in a lifetime trip for us, but if we are able to go back we are absolutely booking with Yellow Zebra again!"

"Thank you Yellow Zebra Safaris, especially Lauren. We had a wonderful honeymoon! Lauren was extremely helpful throughout the entire booking process. She even reached out throughout the trip and afterward to make sure there were no issues. After our 3 week stay in Kenya, it was hard to leave. All the internal flights and accommodations were easy flowing with no issues. We loved all the camps and lodges we stayed at. At each location, we had our own guide, who was informative about all the animals went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed each day. We will use Yellow Zebra Safaris in the future!"
