What Our Travelers Say

Real stories from fellow adventurers who've explored the wild with us

"

Such an amazing experience!! A colleague recommended Tilak to us to organise our very first safari trip in the heart of Africa, combining adventure with some relaxing family time. We had never used a travel agency to organise our holidays before, but we can honestly say that choosing Kannadiga was an absolutely fantastic decision! From the very beginning to the very end, everything was taken care of seamlessly. We didn't have to worry about a thing! Every moment was wonderful, everyone was always smiling, punctual and helpful, and the lodges they selected for us were simply incredible. And of course, Tilak and Barbara were absolutely amazing: always available, attentive and genuinely caring throughout our entire trip, making sure everything was perfect for us. A huge thank you to the whole team for making our first African safari such an unforgettable experience! We will wholeheartedly recommend this agency to any of our friends looking for an exceptional and unforgettable experience in Africa. Thank you so much, Kannadiga!

Outstanding 10-Day Kenya Safari with Travel Kannadiga Our 10-day safari through Ol Pejeta Conservancy, Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru, Amboseli National Park, and the Masai Mara with Travel Kannadiga was truly a trip of a lifetime. From the initial planning stages to the final day of the safari, everything was exceptionally well organized, allowing us to focus entirely on enjoying Kenya's incredible wildlife, landscapes, and hospitality. A special thanks goes to our guide, Erick Koech, who was simply outstanding. Erick's deep knowledge of wildlife, conservation, and birdlife elevated every game drive into both an adventure and a learning experience. With formal qualifications in conservation and bird studies, he provided fascinating insights into animal behavior, ecosystems, and the remarkable diversity of bird species we encountered throughout the journey. His passion, patience, and dedication were evident every day. He worked tirelessly to ensure we had the best possible wildlife sightings and photographic opportunities, often spotting animals long before anyone else could. Thanks to Erick's expertise and persistence, we were fortunate enough to see the Big Five: lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhinoceros. We also enjoyed incredible sightings of cheetahs, giraffes, zebras, hippos, hyenas, and an abundance of birdlife across the different parks and conservancies. Every game drive brought new surprises and unforgettable moments. The accommodations selected by Travel Kannadiga were excellent throughout the trip. Each lodge and camp was comfortable, welcoming, and perfectly located, providing a wonderful balance between adventure and relaxation. The quality of service, food, and overall hospitality exceeded our expectations at every stop. We would also like to recognize Tilak, the owner of Travel Kannadiga, whose passion for wildlife photography added another dimension to our safari experience. As an accomplished wildlife photographer, Tilak provided invaluable guidance before and during the trip. His recommendations regarding camera bodies, focal lengths, and lens choices helped me optimize the gear I traveled with, ensuring I had the right equipment without carrying unnecessary weight. His practical photography advice allowed me to capture some truly memorable images of wildlife and landscapes, and the quality of my photographs improved significantly because of his insights and experience. What sets Travel Kannadiga apart is their attention to detail, personalized service, and genuine passion for creating memorable wildlife experiences. The combination of expertly planned logistics, outstanding accommodations, exceptional guiding by Erick, and photography mentorship from Tilak made this safari far better than we could have imagined. I wholeheartedly recommend Travel Kannadiga to anyone considering a safari in Kenya. This was an unforgettable journey filled with extraordinary wildlife encounters, stunning photography opportunities, and lifelong memories. We returned home with amazing photographs, a deeper appreciation for conservation, and experiences that we will cherish forever. Most importantly, this safari was so well executed that I am already looking forward to planning additional wildlife adventures with Travel Kannadiga in the future. Based on this experience, I would not hesitate to travel with Tilak and his team again, and I am excited to explore more destinations with a company that clearly shares a deep passion for wildlife, conservation, and delivering exceptional travel experiences.

The whole trip - from pick up to drop back to airport - was so well arranged. The guide we had (Johnson) was very good and he ensured we had great sightings. We were enquired every day about the trip, the accommodation, the food...we were very well taken care of. I'd highly recommend Safari Kannadiga for your tour arrangements. Tilak is super knowledgeable and passionate and a pleasure to interact with.

Our Kenya safari with Safari Kannadiga was truly a wonderful and unforgettable experience! Everything was beautifully organised, from the travel arrangements and accommodation to the wildlife safaris. The properties were excellent, and the highlight of our trip was spotting incredible wildlife, including lions, lionesses, cubs, a leopard and many other fascinating animals in their natural habitat. A special word of appreciation for our guide, David, whose knowledge, dedication and remarkable ability to spot wildlife made every game drive exciting and memorable. I would also like to thank Barbara for regularly checking in with me throughout the trip and ensuring that everything was going smoothly. Her personal attention and care made us feel well looked after. My wife and I returned with beautiful memories that we will cherish for a lifetime. Thank you, Safari Kannadiga, for making our Kenyan adventure so special. Highly recommended to anyone dreaming of an amazing African Safari!

An unforgettable safari experience in the Masai Mara! Everything went smoothly and exactly as planned. The team was always available, attentive to every detail, and fully dedicated to making the programme a success. Their constant coordination via WhatsApp ensured we felt supported throughout the adventure. The safari was action-packed but wonderful, allowing us to explore the Masai Mara and appreciate its extraordinary wildlife and landscapes. Our guide, Joseph, was outstanding. His exceptional knowledge of the park and its wildlife took us to incredible locations and gave us wonderful opportunities to observe a wide variety of animals. His expertise made the experience truly memorable. A special thank you to Barbara, who stayed in touch with me throughout the trip, checking that everything was going well and showing genuine care for our experience, and Sammy our diver in Nairobi that explored the city with us. Thank you to the whole team for such a well-organised and unforgettable adventure!

It really was such an amazing experience! We saw so many animals in their land, which was a land untouched and of their own original habitat. I think one of the most exciting times was when a lion had killed a wildebeest (we did not actually see the kill, but came when the lioness and her family were eating the wildebeest). Behind the lioness, we saw some zebras moving to the right towards some other zebras and wildebeest. After this, these same zebras and wildebeest turned around and moved to the left walking behind the lioness, while at the same time we saw animals which were migrating (like zebras) follow and form a line behind the other zebras and wildebeest, banding together with the wildebeest family herd forming a line. The line of animals was so long. The animals all formed a line walking behind the lioness, around in a semi-circle and around where we were parked, and then curved until the front of the line was facing the lioness. We were all in awe as we watched this formation occur, wondering what was going on and wondering what was going to happen. The line of animals stood opposite the lioness and staring at her, approaching close to her….. indicating that they were all one and did not like her killing one of them. The lioness at first seemed very surprised. However, as the group of animals kept staring at her, she became first a little agitated, and then she started getting angry. She stood up and looked at them. The animals kept staring at her. When she started to walk forward a few steps, a couple of the wildebeest moved back. What was unbelievable was how the zebras kept their stance not moving. Only when the lioness took a few more steps forward did some of the zebras move back a few steps. This whole situation showed to us how all the animals talked together making a pact to stand against the lioness, supporting the wildebeest family. These were animals behaving just as we humans would behave to support our own family and friends. Truly an amazing experience!

Africa Trip 2026. From the time we landed at Jomo Kenyantta International Airport on the evening of August till we were dropped at Arusha airport in Tanzania in the afternoon of September, Safari Kannadiga team took care of us exceptionally well. Guides in Kenya and Tanzania were very experienced in driving, showing us animals that were hidden in bushes, explaining about the animals, names of the animals, etc. Food was excellent in all the places we visited. Tents were very comfortable surrounded by wild animals like Zebras, Wildebeests, Impalas, hippos, hyenas etc. Everybody goes to Maasai Mara during this season to watch the world famous wildebeest migration. We could not see it in Maasai Mara in spite of waiting for 6 hours. The wildebeest came so close to get into the Mara river, but retracted. We returned disappointed and proceeded to Tanzania. To our bewilderment the first thing we saw in Serengiti was the same Migration at the Mara river on the Tanzania side where there were millions of wildebeest crossing the Mara River and giving us an experience of a lifetime. Patience and Perseverance thus pay on an African Safari. There were regular follow up by Safari Kannadiga Management to ensure that we were comfortable and safe. We had a great time and a wonderful experience!! Thank you Safari Kannadiga for making it happen!!

I recently completed an unforgettable safari organized by Tilak, and the entire experience was executed with absolute professionalism. From initial coordination to field operations, everything ran seamlessly. A special commendation must go to our guide, Richard. Tilak was entirely right about him—Richard is one of the most dedicated, sincere, and hardworking guides in the field. His tracking expertise delivered extraordinary sightings, with rare encounters of both a leopard and a serval standing out as clear highlights. Even when unexpected rain altered conditions, Richard remained relentless in ensuring we had an enriching and memorable drive. I highly recommend booking through Tilak if you want flawless itinerary management and genuinely top-tier guiding.
