    It's nearly 10 years since we've been, but we had a excellent safari with this company http://www.pollmans.com/ We booked through a UK based company, but Pollman's was the company that did the tour. While out there, we saw a lot of their vehicles sporting tour operator labels (Kuoni etc), which may give you some re-assurance.

    Your challenge is choosing your safari area - Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru or Amboseli. With only three days, I would be choosing Amboseli with its dramatic backdrop of Kilimanjaro

    I did look at their website but couldn't find any prices on them. Am I missing the glaringly obvious?

    Prices will vary depending on number of people in the tour, and which lodge you want to stay in (we had a private tour for 2 over 10 days). If you want to use a UK based agent, this is who we used http://www.africa-safari-direct.com/ but as mentioned this was nearly 10 years ago, so don't take this as a current recommendation of the agent.
