Incredible Animal Sightings
We had an incredible trip visiting Kenya and Tanzania across 10 days. We commenced in Nairobi, before heading to Nakuru, Masai Mara, Serengeti, Ngororoto Crater, Tarangire and then Amboseli. The accommodation at each place was fantastic and the tented camps especially were comfortable, beautifully located, and offering great hospitality throughout our stay. Our guides were phenomenal, extremely knowledgeable, and highly skilled at spotting wildlife. Thanks to their expertise, we enjoyed unbelievable animal sightings during most game drives. The Hot Air Balloon experience was the highlight of our trip. Thank you to Boost Safaris for ensuring we had an amazing time!

"A beautiful experience, we were extremely pleased. Everything was well-managed, from tailoring the safari organization to our needs to the experience itself. Our driver was a huge asset: very knowledgeable, competent, patient, and adept at finding all the animals, making our safari truly one of a kind."

A Memorable Safari with a Guide Who Truly Respects Wildlife
We had a truly special 7-day safari experience in Kenya with our guide, Sam. Boost Safari was amazing!
From the very beginning, Steve made us feel so welcome by giving us thoughtful gifts that I really needed for the trip: a safari hat and a beautiful Maasai blanket. Such a lovely and thoughtful gesture!
Both Steve and Sam were professional, kind, and genuinely caring. Although we experienced some vehicle problems during the trip, they responded quickly and did their best to resolve the issues. I really appreciated their positive attitude and commitment to making sure we had a great experience.
Sam is an excellent guide with extensive knowledge of wildlife. He knew how to help us spot so many different animals while also respecting their natural behaviour and giving them space. This was especially meaningful to me. A safari should not just be about spotting as many animals as possible, but also about appreciating nature and respecting wildlife without disturbing them unnecessarily. We should observe nature with kindness and curiosity, rather than behave like predators chasing their prey.
We spent 7 days and 6 nights in Kenya, staying at three tented camps, and all of them were comfortable. Our first three nights at Mtito Safari Camp in the Maasai Mara were particularly wonderful and made our experience even more memorable.
Thank you, Steve, Sam, and the whole Boost Safari team, for making this trip so special. I would happily recommend Boost Safari to anyone looking for a memorable safari experience in Kenya!
Excellent customer service
Booking with Boost Safaris was the best decision I made for my family. Our safari was well planned. The coordination between the customer service team to the guides is what I loved most as they were able understand our family's needs and that made everything run smoothly. We felt really safe during game drives. We are grateful for the team and we'll definitely refer you to our friends
A tour operator who would do anything and everything they can to improve your safari experience
This will probably be a long review, but I hope it provides the best possible insight into Boost Safaris as a tour operator and gives any potential future customer a genuine idea of what they can expect if they choose Steve and his team.
The Team & Their Responsiveness
The most impressive part of the Boost team is how responsive they were, both before and throughout our safari. If you have any issues, you have multiple contacts who are quick to assist and are always available via WhatsApp or email. To put this into perspective, I joked with Steve that he messages me back quicker than my own family!
Being responsive is one thing, but providing great service and genuinely good advice is another. The Boost team could not have been better in this regard. They will move mountains and do everything they can to make your safari experience the best it possibly can be.
On our fourth day, I had a lot of issues with my eye. I didn't want to cause any problems, so initially I didn't even mention it to the tour operator. However, our driver, David, who was exceptionally knowledgeable and extremely kind, noticed that I was struggling to look at the animals and asked how he could help.
David and Steve liaised together, with Steve finding a local hospital and organising an appointment with a doctor. This was all done with clear communication and guidance. Fortunately, the hospital was on the way to our next stop, so we lost very little time. David was incredibly helpful in getting us there and communicating with the local people and hospital staff.
I am so grateful for their assistance, but this is just one example of how responsive and knowledgeable the team are. It really demonstrated why having a team on the ground in Kenya who know the country is invaluable while on safari. You have experts available to assist within minutes, whenever you need them.
The Safari Experience
The safari itself was everything we wanted it to be and more. We went primarily to see the animals, which we did in abundance, but we ended up enjoying learning about the culture and experiencing the beautiful landscapes just as much.
I think any prospective safari-goer should be aware that there is an element of luck involved when it comes to seeing wildlife. That said, almost all the operators we saw worked incredibly hard to get close to the animals and create the best possible viewing and photography experiences. Our guides also provided fascinating insights into the animals and were able to answer almost every question we had.
We witnessed some truly wild and incredible scenes during our trip, and we have so many memories that we will hold onto for a lifetime.
The local people were also incredibly kind and friendly. Everyone seemed interested in learning about tourists and wanted to present their country in the best possible way. One of the sweetest parts of our trip was seeing children in rural villages running to the road to wave at our jeep as we passed. This happened regularly and was a lovely reminder of how warmly we were welcomed.
We genuinely felt welcomed into the country and could not speak highly enough of how we were treated throughout our safari.
Reliability
Finally, a note on reliability. I think all safari-goers should be prepared for the bumpy roads when travelling to the parks and within them. The vehicles are thrown around quite a bit, and you will see cars breaking down. Regardless of how much you pay for your safari, this is simply a risk that comes with the experience.
However, this is exactly why having a responsive and reliable tour operator is so important.
Although other guides and locals will often assist if a vehicle breaks down, the value of having Steve and his team became very clear to us. They have vehicles and guides on standby, and the team are so calm and organised that they can quickly arrange alternatives and ensure your safari continues with minimal disruption.
The Overall Experience
Our safari was invaluable. The lodges were exceptional, and I am genuinely amazed that the itinerary we chose was considered a mid-range safari. The accommodation was so spectacular that I cannot imagine how it could have been much better.
The lodges had clean amenities, large buffets with plenty of choice, incredible views of the parks, and excellent locations either within or close to the parks. This meant we could maximise our time enjoying the wildlife.
We witnessed some incredible live events, largely thanks to the guides' knowledge of the parks and expert driving. Beyond this, the Boost team made us feel like family through the way they treated us and their constant desire to improve our experience.
Talking with Steve genuinely felt like spending time with a friend I had known for years.
Final Comments
I would thoroughly recommend the Boost team to anyone considering a safari. What sets them apart for me is their genuine willingness to assist with anything and their clear care for their clients at all times.
They are true experts in their field, with excellent knowledge, communication, reliability, and — most importantly — a genuine desire to make your safari the best experience it can possibly be.
To Steve and the team: thank you so much. You were everything we needed you to be, and I am so glad we chose you as our tour operator.
