wonderful
The guide was great, and the grassland was vast. Our safari in Kenya was amazing! The guide was knowledgeable and friendly. We saw lots of wild animals. The vast grassland scenery was breathtaking. Highly recommend this wonderful trip.
Bait and Switch Company
My wife and I booked the 12-day East Africa Bush Expedition Kenya & Tanzania. We thought the marketed itinerary and hotel accommodations Apodiformes listed on Safari Bookings was what we're going to get. Well, that wasn't the case. Silas sent over a PDF of an itinerary saying, "As per your request, kindly see attached itinerary for your consideration". I assumed the itinerary Silas sent would be the same as listed on Safari Bookings. It was not. They changed accommodations that were not nearly as nice and much further away. Lesson learned!
Two of the three driver/guides were nothing more than a taxi driver. Silas even said to us upon departure he only has one driver/guide because if there's two, they end up talking to each other and not the customers. Well, while in the Mara for 2.5 days, our driver/guide had a trainee. The driver/guide talked to the trainee more than us.
Some of the game drives call for full-day drives but only lasted a half day.
The jeep had a mechanical issue that needed fixing. So, the morning we were to do a full-day game drive in Ngorongoro Crater our driver/guide sent a couple texts that were short and rude. At first, it was I'll be late, then it turned into a substitute coming to take us on the game drive. Long story short, after keeping us waiting in the lobby for hours, the substitute picked us up and we did a game drive for UNDER 2 hours!
The last accommodation was rated a 7.2 on Tripadvisor. The "new itinerary" had us here for 2 nights. It was so bad we considered ending the expedition early.
Silas contacted me months before the expedition requesting $3,000 that was not due until arrival. This was on top of the $3,784 deposit already paid. He said big company's purchase blocks of rooms at hotels and lodges and the $3,000 would ensure reservations. Most of the accommodations where we stayed had vacancies and the $3,784 would have easily paid all of the accommodations. So, in my opinion, this was Silas' way of squeezing a larger deposit out of us.
Overall, we would not recommend Apodiformes as a tour company. If you do use them, double check the "final" itinerary and make sure the quality of accommodations are to your satisfaction and not 2.5 hours away.

Posted on Sep 17, 2026Dear Tom,
Thanks for bringing to our attention some of the challenges you went through during this trip especially touching on the drivers. This is well noted and we shall act accordingly.
Allow me to help our clients understand something you might not have put clear about your package.
First of all you did not book or send us an enquiry through the Safaribookings platform (https://www.safaribookings.com/).
You saw our Tours on the Company website and contacted us. The tours we have uploaded on Safaribookings are not the same as the tours on our Company Website and they keep changing depending on our monthly internal market research.
There is also a big difference considering the advertisement costs on SafariBookings. It is therefore not practical for you to compare the tour you purchased through our Company website to the Tours we advertise on Safaribookings. Atleast you should have informed us that you wanted the exact tour advertised on Safaribookings instead of the one on our Company website.

incredible safari experience with Apodiformes Adventures and our guide Sebastian
We had the most incredible safari experience with Apodiformes Adventures! From the planning stage, Syprose in the office was so helpful and made sure everything was organized around our honeymoon. She really listened to what we wanted and helped create an experience that felt completely tailored to us.
Our guide Sebastian was fantastic. He was incredibly knowledgeable and had an amazing eye for spotting animals. He managed to find every animal we were hoping to see, and he took the time to give us detailed information about the wildlife and everything happening around us. We learned so much while having an amazing time.
The whole experience was beyond what we hoped for, and it made our honeymoon even more special. We would definitely recommend Apodiformes Adventures to anyone looking for an unforgettable safari!

The Perfect Safari Experience – Outstanding Guide & Personal Service
What an amazing safari experience with Apodiformes Adventures! We booked our safari as part of our honeymoon, and the whole experience exceeded our expectations. A special thank you to Syprose from the office, who was fantastic throughout the planning process. She listened to what we were looking for and helped create a trip that felt completely tailored to us and our honeymoon.
Our guide Sebastian was the highlight of the safari. He was exceptional at finding wildlife and seemed to know exactly where to look — we were lucky enough to see all the animals we had hoped for and so much more. He was also extremely knowledgeable and detailed, taking the time to explain what we were seeing and answer all our questions. His passion and expertise really made the experience come alive.
From the organisation to the guiding, everything was handled wonderfully. Apodiformes Adventures gave us memories that we will cherish for a lifetime, and we would absolutely recommend them to anyone planning a safari. A perfect honeymoon adventure!
Personalized Safari and Travel Service with Great Customer Service
I had a great experience with Adipoformes from beginning to end. I received safari quotes from several different vendors, but Syprose was by far the most responsive and collaborative person I worked with. We wanted guidance, but we also wanted the flexibility to customize our itinerary, and Syprose did an excellent job of understanding what was important to us and tailoring our different stays accordingly.
Our itinerary included two days in Amboseli, two days in the Masai Mara, one day in Lake Nakuru, and one day in Naivasha. Adipoformes arranged everything from airport pickup when we landed in Nairobi to our final airport drop-off when we departed. After researching many different hotels and camps, we settled on some of the best places I have stayed in during all my years of traveling. Syprose provided a clear itinerary that included our daily activities, accommodations, pictures, and transportation details, which became the cornerstone of our safari. I also worked with Syprose to upgrade several of our accommodations, and that was one of the best decisions we made—the places we stayed exceeded our expectations.
When we arrived in Nairobi, we met with Silas to complete our payment. He was very flexible and came to our hotel to meet us. I was initially a little concerned about making the final payment in cash, so I opted to pay by credit card despite the 4.5% surcharge. In hindsight, I probably would have been more comfortable simply doing a wire transfer.
We first flew to Amboseli, where our safari driver and guide, Songes, picked us up. We spent the next seven days with him, and he eventually dropped us off at the airport for our flight home.
From the very beginning, Songes demonstrated his experience and knowledge of the parks. He knew Amboseli extremely well and was familiar with many of the other drivers and park rangers, which helped him quickly identify where animals were being sighted. Starting our trip in Amboseli was a great decision because we saw many of the common animals in abundance—zebras, elephants, giraffes, wildebeest, and more. That allowed us to focus more on the big cats—lions, cheetahs, and even a leopard—during the rest of our trip.
In Amboseli, Songes showed us a pride of lions with cubs on both days. One of the highlights of the entire trip was when he spotted a cheetah just before it began a hunt. He quickly alerted other drivers and the ranger, and within minutes there were approximately 50 vehicles gathered. We spent two to three hours following the cheetah and were fortunate enough to watch it successfully hunt and capture a gazelle. It was an incredible experience.
Songes was also very mild-mannered and easygoing, which made the entire trip relaxing. He never made us feel rushed or stressed. He customized our days around what we wanted to do—sometimes we were tired and simply wanted to relax—and he was always willing to stop whenever I wanted to take pictures. Having our own vehicle and guide meant that we didn't have to follow anyone else's schedule. We had the flexibility to spend more time when something interesting was happening, take breaks when we wanted, and even sleep in one morning.
Over the course of the trip, Songes helped us see all of the Big Five, as well as multiple prides and groups of lions across Amboseli, the Masai Mara, and Lake Nakuru. His experience and knowledge made a big difference in the quality of our safari.
Overall, this was a fantastic experience, and I would highly recommend Adipoformes to anyone planning a safari in Kenya.
There are a few things I would mention for both the company and future travelers. The vehicle we used was somewhat older than some of the other vehicles we saw during the trip. My recommendation to Adipoformes would be to consider upgrading the vehicles, as that would make an already great experience even better.
For travelers, I recommend bringing clean clothes for each day and taking advantage of laundry services whenever possible. The parks can be very dusty! I also wish I had brought a buff or similar covering for my mouth and nose.
We also did a hot-air balloon ride in the Masai Mara. While it was a nice experience, I found it somewhat underwhelming and, in hindsight, probably would have skipped it.
One of the best decisions we made was flying from Nairobi to Amboseli and then from Amboseli to the Masai Mara. It allowed us to spend our time enjoying the parks and accommodations rather than spending eight or nine hours driving between destinations. It added approximately $500 per person to the trip, but for us, it was absolutely worth the additional cost.
Overall, Adipoformes, Syprose, Silas, and especially Songes made this an unforgettable trip. I would happily recommend them to anyone looking for a personalized, flexible, and well-organized Kenyan safari.
