A 7 on 5 star experience with Africa Barefoot Safaris
We travelled in late May for our very first trip to Africa and I am glad that we chose to partner with Africa Barefoot Safaris. Everything was seamless and so professionally handled right from the planning of the 7-day itinerary to the closure of the trip at Nairobi airport to board our flight back to India. Prajwal was extremely patient through the planning process and answered all my queries to help us choose the best parks and facilities within our budget. As soon as we got down at Nairobi airport, we were greeted by our guide for the entire trip Joseph. Joseph, not only enamoured us with his knowledge and expertise of Kenyan wildlife, he set a very high bar for the hospitality, warmth and customer focus of Kenyan and Masai people. We were really lucky to have him as our guide on our first trip to Kenya and he went out of his way to make sure we did not leave Kenya without spotting the Big 5 and engaging meaningfully with local tribes in Amboseli and Masai Mara. I wish the ABS team more success as they throw open the East African frontiers to more and more people across the world and wow them with their passion and professionalism. I am definitely coming back to them for my next sojourn to the African wilderness!

Well in tune with the ecosystem - seamless communication
Prajwal and team are very experienced and very communicative. This isn't some big mega corporation, they really care about your experience and want to hear the good, the bad, and any and all questions you may have.
We were lucky to spend our honeymoon in Kenya and Tanzania going through Masai Mara, Serengeti, Ngorongro, and Zanzibar.
The drivers were very knowledgable and knew how to get into the action.
The venues we stayed at were also well reviewed - Prajwal has stayed in many, if not all of them, so her recommendations and itinerary come from her experiences!
Overall - highly recommend and would take another trip through her in the future! Shoutout Wilson and Simpai as well!

ABS plans your experience, not just book a tour
It all went exactly as promised. The promise was that you will fall in love with Serengeti, with Tanzania, with Africa, with the people. The plan only escalated the experience from day 1 onwards and yet gave time to decompress at the end. Superbly and reasonably planned and executed by the team @Africa Barefoot Safaris, primarily Prajwal who ensures that your needs are incorporated in planning yet leaving space for her years of experience to shine through. Her guides, this time Wilson, are full of magic tricks. Literally like Santa, you place a request, and the gift is delivered. A bush meal with Girraffes, done, a pack of Cheetas hunting, done, a lioness and cubs less than 3 months, done, variety of birds, done, a large herd of Elephants, done, lions and leopard on tree, done. The lodges/camps were manned by locals who have so much love for you and it penetrates your heart right from the moment you reach. Superb hospitality, great safari experience, amazing planning, great prices.

Professional tour operator for specialised African safaris
Our trip was absolutely wonderful! Many thanks to Prajwal for arranging everything so efficiently. From the very first day I contacted her until the end of the journey, she handled every detail seamlessly and truly made what felt like an impossible trip possible for my family.
The lodges were fantastic, especially because of the incredible views they offered. Our tour guide, Patrick, made us feel completely at home. He was punctual, warm, and extremely hospitable. This vacation has been a once-in-a-lifetime experience for us, and Africa Barefoot Safaris made it truly unforgettable.
We will definitely be recommending them to our family and friends. All the very best to Prajwal and the entire team!

More Than a Safari-A Masterclass in the Serengeti!
If you are a true wildlifer, you know that dozens of species and hundreds of birds are only half the story. The other half is the soul of the people who take you there. My experience with ABS in the Serengeti was, quite simply, the "icing on the cake" of my traveling life.
The Guide (The Serengeti Whisperer):
Our guide, Wilson, is a legend in the making. He doesn't just drive; he possesses a "predatory" eye for detail, spotting things most would miss in their dreams. Even when faced with the personal crisis of having his valuables stolen, Wilson remained unshakable. His resilience was incredible—he recovered his belongings without ever letting the quality of our safari slip.
The ABS Standard:
Tactical Logistics: Every move was systematic and seamless.
The Gear: Our vehicle was a powerhouse, custom-built for the undulating and rugged Tanzanian terrain.
The Comfort: We stayed in excellent tents and ate five-star "yummy" meals that fueled our long days on the plains.
The X-Factor:
What truly sets ABS apart is the human connection. The love and genuine affection we received from the tent staff surpassed any wildlife tour we’ve ever taken. You don’t just feel like a guest; you feel like family.
If you are visiting Tanzania, do not settle for anything less than ABS. They don't just show you the forest; they help you feel its heartbeat. Highly recommended!

Unforgettable memories
A Journey Through the Wild
African safari was an unforgettable masterpiece of nature and adventure. From the golden savannas of the Serengeti to the lush waterways , every moment felt like a scene from a high-definition documentary.
The Big Five: Witnessing lions, leopards, elephants, buffalo, and rhinos in their natural habitat was profound.
Expert Guiding: The trackers' ability to read the bush transformed simple drives into deep educational experiences.Wilson thanks brother
Ending each day with a sundowner against a fiery horizon offered a rare, peaceful connection to the earth.
This trip wasn't just a vacation; it was a soul-stirring reminder of the world's raw beauty
My experience with African Barefoot Safari was breathtaking, especially witnessing a live cheetah hunt were unforgettable.
I want to extend a huge thanks to African Bear Food Safari for organizing such a raw and authentic wildlife encounter.
To the incredible teams at every camp: thank you. Your warmth, hard work, and deep connection to the land made this journey unforgettable. From the seamless hospitality to your expert knowledge, you truly are the heart of the safari experience.
