Great experience
Overall rating
4/5

We did Lake Naivasha and Masaai Mara with Eliud in 4 days. Lake Naivasha was really nice with great accommodation at Sopa Lodge. The hippos came at night near our house, the food was great. The weather was ok.
In Mara the accommodation would be good as well (Sarova Mara Game Camp), but it was raining some of the time, interrupted one of the game drives and was cold in the tent. Mara is too crowded, even in the shoulder season, you feel like in a big zoo rather than in the wild. We have a comparison as we traveled alone after the organized safari to Tsavo, which is peaceful but has far less animals to spot.
Eliud was a great companion to talk to and spend time with, professional and helpful. Would recommend his service to anybody as well as Amazing Memories Safaris as the organizers.

4/5

The wildlife, weather, our guide Stanley from Venture Savannah were excellent. Most of Lodges we stay were great.
The biggest disappointment was to be caught on a FRAUD by the company “Kenya Walking Survivors Ltda”, I paid 50% 4 months in advance , had communication with Mr Otieno but 10 days before my trip all stopped. Ann at Ibis Nairobi help me to rebooked my Safari with Ms Pauline Mwarari from Venture, wonderful lady.
I’m a teacher from NY and love to travel.

Beautiful Kenya.....disgraceful Tukio!
Overall rating
4/5

We travelled to Kenya for a safari trip of a life time. We absolutely loved Kenya, it’s wildlife and it’s people.
Kenya is a fabulous country to visit for Safari and seeing the Big Five.
However, just be advised that it is expensive, for example we paid €60 fora bottle of wine in a restaurant and we got the feeling that it was not just the wilder beast that are easy prey but tourists are very much so too.
Our tour company Tukio were good at the planning stage but we were let down very badly by them regarding accommodation. We tried to book a five star lodge which was only available for one night though we wanted two nights, and we offered for the same price, a completely different far inferior lodge in which we felt unsafe and could not even eat the deplorable food which was presented to us. When we wanted to change lodge we got very poor service from Tukio, who did very little to help our situation. We would definitely advise not using this company.

Best destination for wildlife safari
Overall rating
4/5

It was my first ever safari trip and I must say it was definitely worth it. My husband and I, we both love wildlife and so we planned Kenya trip. Joseph, our tour agent from Mufasa tours is the most genuine tour agent that i have come across. Thanks to his communicative and helpful attitude, he devised the most feasible and best package in our budget.

We spent 7 days covering Masai Mara, Amboseli, Nakuru and Nairobi. At Amboseli the scenic beauty is at its best and Mara is magical. It was overall an exciting and refreshing trip.

Love it. Masai Mara is incredible.
Overall rating
4/5

Masai Mara is beautiful. I love that Kenya is taking steps to protect its wildlife by taking a hard stance against poaching, against hunting safari, against eating / selling game meat. The animals in Masai are beautiful and abundant, you can see that they are living a satisfied life.
I love it, and I want to be back again.

Our safari with African Paradise Safari was just great! Our guide was so professional and he knew exactly where to go at all times for us not to miss any of the big 5!

We loved our stay at Miti Mingi Eco Camp as well :) staff there was so kind and nice. Food was also good (buffet).

Amazing Masai Mara
Overall rating
4/5

Our Safari, organized by African Scenery Holidays, was great: we had a 4 days safari (Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru), but actually we had game drives 2half days and a full day.. it was enough as Masai Mara was full of animals! we saw many lions, cheetahs, leopards, hyenas, hippos, crocodiles, zebras, giraffes, elephants, wildebeest, ostriches, pumbas, timons .. and a white rhino in lake Nakuru. We also visited the Maasai village and it was very interesting.
our safari was a budget one but we saw as much animals as the luxurious safaris.
The tended camp we stayed in was basic, and the food monotonous, we had to change driver many times as the travellers in our van had different itinerarys (maybe longer or shorter safaris than our), but it was ok.
The communication with our tour coordinator Fredinah was excellent, both before and during and even after the safari. She was always on hand to answer questions and reachable anytime. After the safaris we moved to the coast and this part of trip was for self organized, but she was still available to help us when we needed. We felt we had a secure support and a person to trust in, and it was very reassuring. Thankyou Freedinah!
