Perfect
What a crazy experience we’ve had. Everything was perfect (from the information provided beforehand by Dominic, to the safari with Modi). I highly recommend Kentau Safaris !!

Nature is unpredictable and always changing. Just keep an open mind and enjoy your amazing trip!!
We had an absolutely amazing safari journey with our wonderful, professional tour guides, Fred and Chris! They were both friendly and humorous, incredibly professional at spotting animals, and shared insightful ecological stories about them.
We were very lucky to see not only the “Big Five” but also the “Ugly Five” in Africa along with many other animals we usually only see in the movie The Lion King! Seeing wildlife living freely in their natural habitat was truly touching and made us all feel so relaxed.
I highly recommend connecting with the travel agency manager, Dominic, is extremely efficient and helpful. Throughout nearly a year of planning and communication, he has been a tremendous help to me. He is my best friend in Africa.

Really good safari experience with a great guide!
We had a wonderful safari experience! Our guide Modi was extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and shared lots of interesting information with us. Even though we only stayed for one night, we were able to see all the animals we hoped for. Modi always knew where to look and was very attentive to our wishes.
The lodge was simple but clean and had everything we needed. It is not a luxury lodge and there is no air conditioning, so it can get a little warm in the evening, but overall it was absolutely fine.
We would definitely recommend this tour operator – the experience was very well organized and definitely worth it!
Good and Not Good
THE GOOD: The trip was well organized, booking was smooth, and communication with the salesperson was excellent. The vehicle was in good condition, and the hotel/camp was comfortable. Overall, it felt like good value for the money.
NOT SO GOOD: Unfortunately, our guide fell short. While he met the bare minimum requirements, he was completely unengaging and unfriendly. This was not our first safari, so we weren't expecting a National Geographic-level expert, but he offered no proactive information or context, giving only brief, one-sentence answers. Even trying to figure out where we were driving next felt like a struggle. Language was not an issue, as his English was fine.
OVERALL: Because a guide makes or breaks a safari experience, I cannot recommend Kentau Safari based on this trip.

Responsiveness and professional
Our experience (a family of four) was truly extraordinary. From the planning, which took place months before departure, during which we explored various options and, thanks to Dominic's excellent advice, we were able to plan a tailor-made tour (Masai Mara, Nakuru Lake, Amboseli, Tsavo, departing from Nairobi and ending in Diani Beach).
The accommodations were excellent (perhaps I would prefer a lodge at the Masai Mara rather than the good tented camp, even if it meant spending a little more). I also found the total cost and overall quality of the services to be very good.
Besides, a special mention goes to our driver. James is so much more than just a driver. While always attentive and cautious, he expresses a natural hunting instinct in the savannah. He is determined and tenacious in his pursuit of animals, and was able to show us all of them on multiple occasions.
Opting for a private tour also allowed us to manage the timing and game drives as we pleased.
When Africa will call me again I will return with Kentau Safaris.
