Incredible safari with a superb company
5/5

I joined an eight-day safari with Apodiformes Adventures, with an additional two nights in Nairobi, one before and one after the safari, and I had an excellent experience from start to finish.

Silas, the owner of the company, was incredibly helpful and accommodating throughout the entire process. He answered all my questions promptly, no matter what time of the day it was. I also had the pleasure of meeting him in person, and he is a very charismatic, friendly, and welcoming person.

Kevin was our safari driver and guide for the entire eight days, and it was an absolute pleasure having him with us. He was polite, patient, extremely knowledgeable. And my God, he has incredible vision! I always said he has “Eagle Eyes” because he could spot animals from unbelievably far away. Even at a great distance, he could tell us what animal it was, whether it was male or female, what species it was, and so much more. His knowledge of the wildlife was truly extensive.

Most importantly, Kevin seemed to have an internal GPS in his head. He knew exactly how to navigate the parks and where to look for different animals. Thanks to him, we managed to see more than 30 lions in different groups and locations, dozens of hippos, one very rare leopard, a cheetah, and countless zebras, gazelles, giraffes, and many, many other animals.

The hotels and safari lodges selected for us were also excellent. The accommodation was very comfortable, the service was very good, and the food was delicious throughout the trip.

Overall, we had a fantastic safari experience, and I would recommend Apodiformes Adventures to anyone planning a safari in Kenya.

A luxury safari experience
5/5

I’d introduce them clearly the first time they’re mentioned — Stephen as your **booking/contact person** and Songe as your **driver-guide throughout the safari**.

We had the most amazing safari and honestly couldn’t recommend the experience enough. It really did feel like a once-in-a-lifetime trip and we loved every minute of it.

Stephen, who organised our trip and was our main contact during the booking process, was brilliant from the start — really responsive, answered all of our (many!) questions and was happy to adapt the itinerary for us. We really wanted to visit The Ark in Aberdare and he was able to work this into our trip. We’d compared the cost of the package with booking the hotels and everything ourselves and felt it was really good value too.

All of the hotels were absolutely stunning and really close to the parks, so it felt like we got to soak up every minute of being on safari. Sleeping in luxury safari tents with wildlife close by, eating dinner overlooking the bush and having a sundowner in the Maasai Mara were such special experiences and exactly what we’d hoped for from the trip.

We’re both vegan and had been slightly worried about food before we went, but we really didn’t need to be! We ate incredibly well throughout the whole safari and every hotel catered for us. Songe, our driver-guide for the safari, was also great at making sure our dietary requirements were communicated everywhere we stayed.

Songe was absolutely fantastic. We felt really safe with him, he knew so much about the parks and animals and was always really clear about what we were doing and the plans for each day. From the beginning he told us to just ask whenever we wanted to stop for a photo or had a question, and we never once felt rushed. He genuinely seemed to care about us having the best possible experience and went out of his way to make sure we got as much as possible from every game drive.

We had a brief issue with the car on one of the days, but it was dealt with so well that it barely affected us. Another driver from the company took us with their group so we didn’t miss out on any of the game drive, and Songe picked us back up an hour or two later once everything was sorted.

The whole trip was just incredible — the wildlife, the places we stayed, the food, the scenery and all the little experiences along the way. Having everything organised for us meant we could completely switch off and just enjoy being there. We came away feeling like we’d really made the most of every single day and had the safari experience we’d dreamed of. An unforgettable trip!

Special thanks to our amazing safari guide Dennis! He is kind and highly experienced,
5/5

Special thanks to our amazing safari guide Dennis! He is kind and highly experienced, and helped us see the Big Five. He shared lots of detailed knowledge about African wildlife. When one of our friends lost headphones at the hotel, Dennis went out of his way to retrieve them for us — we are so thankful.

Janet was equally great, very attentive to all our requests. We are totally satisfied with our trip and hope to meet you both again!

wonderful
5/5

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
2/5

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.

Dear 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.
