Good trip
My Kenya safari with Bernard and your team was truly extraordinary – witnessing the Big Five in the wild felt like stepping into a documentary! Bernard’s expertise was phenomenal; his ability to track lions and explain their social dynamics left us in awe.
To share honest feedback: While the safari itself was perfection, our lodge’s "close-to-nature vibe" did come with some uninvited guests like insects and geckos galore. But we recognize this is simply part of the authentic savanna environment, not a reflection of your team’s efforts.

Great 4 Day Safari Tour With Estleon
I highly recommend Estleon for a safari tour in Kenya. I contacted Estleon for a quote on a safari package that interested me. Esther got back to me with a competitive offer in less than 24 hours. She was also very responsive for follow up questions and concerns. We did a 4 day private Sarova hotels luxury tour including Lake Nakura and Maasai Mara.
Robin was our guide and driver for the safari tour. He was always punctual. Robin drove safely for the entire tour. He kept us safe on the Kenyan roads which can definitely be a bit crazy at times. He was very knowledgeable about the wildlife in Kenya, and he was also knowledgeable about Kenya in general. Robin was also very skilled at positioning the vehicle for great pictures of wildlife.
We were able to see the Big 5 and many other animals in only a few days. I'd highly recommend the tour we chose. It's a good way to maximize your time if you only have a few days to dedicate to going on Safari in Kenya. We definitely made a good use of the time we had.
The Sarova hotel accommodations were nice. Good rooms, food, and service. There was decent wifi at the hotels as well, so don't let connectivity concerns prevent you from going on a Safari. The rooms were as presented in the tour quote PDF. The staff at the hotels were all professional and friendly.
If you're interested in getting good photos of the wildlife, I would also highly recommend that you bring a camera with at least a 300mm lens. You can get some decent shots with a cell phone when the animals are close to the car. But oftentimes the animals are far from the car and a good camera lens is really necessary.
Don't hesitate to book a safari with Estleon. It's a legitimate and licensed safari company with lots of positive reviews.

Bernard, was nothing short than amazing! He was knowledgeable, attentive and went above and beyond
Estleon Adventures, was the best choice we made for our honeymoon travel trip. We decided to go on a safari for our honeymoon but we did not know where to start. We were clueless but Estleon staff held our hand through the whole process and seemed happy to do so. No complains!
Esther, the owner was very friendly, communicative, attentive, and anything we needed, she was beyond helpful. She helped answer any questions we had throughout the whole process. She went above and beyond to help with our visa applications. Our honeymoon was very long so we decided we didn’t want to travel in car 6+ hours, she moved things around, found us some domestic flights, she even instructed our tour guide to get our luggage so we did not have to pay extra luggage fees. She took care of every single detail. She was detailed oriented and solution focused!! AMAZING!
Bernard, our tour guide, from the moment we met him, we were treated like family. He made sure we did not leave our game drive without seeing everything we wanted to see. He made sure we were taken care of in every single accommodation site, he was very knowledgeable and insightful. He answered every question we had about the culture, the parks, the animals and the country. He even stayed to chat with us for a while, we truly felt like royalty throughout the whole trip. He made sure we got to every single park safely, and made sure we stayed hydrated. We couldn’t ask for a better tour guide.
We will definitely do this again and 100% refer Estleon to our friends and family!

Great communication, professional and organized
Brilliant trip- I started researching in early December and knew we wanted to go to Samburu park. Tour Radar had three companies with the park as part of their itinerary. Esther at Estleon was the first to respond and put together a great proposal. After a few tweaks we were able to finalize a tour of four parks.Esther stayed in contact throughout the period before the start of the arrival.
Our trip in late January started with 2 nights in Sambura, then Aberdare(the Ark), Lake Nakuru and ending in Masai Mara. Bernard (Ben) our tour guide/Driver was amazing. Bernard absolutely made the trip seamless and knew every park and where to be to get the best photos. He was always patient and ready to answer our many questions. I cannot recommend him enough
Estleon are a smaller women only owned company. I read through all the reviews but was a little apprehensive before the trip that I had chosen wisely. After the trip I can assure anyone thinking of using Estleon that based on our experience you will be very happy with your choice
PROS
- Private Modern Four Runner SUVs with water coolers and free water
- Excellent communication at all hours with a smaller dedicated team
- Great advice on where best to stay in each park
- We received a free night before starting the tour at a hotel right by the airport (had a 1am arrival)
- Bernard who has 10 years experience leading tours of you can get him
The only change we would have made to our tour was to do 3 parks vs 4. The Ark we felt was not the right fit for us but if you want a rest after a long flight might be a great place to stay. Sambura, a much less traveled park, was our favorite. Within 5 mins of being on a safari drive you are already surrounded by animals and the smaller size of the park makes it very easy to see the full Big 5

Well organised to high standards
Everything was well organised and worked to perfection. Esther was very helpful and always there to provide assistance. The transfer to and from airport worked very well and flight to Mara was easy and on time. Ilkeliani camp was great. Luxury tents with loads of attention from staff. Food was simply delicious and the guides experienced. The location on the Talek river inside the reserve makes it very easy to reach places where plenty of animals could be spotted, including all big cats. Security, a very important aspect, was kept all of the time especially at night. I felt comfortable throughout the stay and enjoyed a great safari.
Difficult to see any negative aspect. Maybe more detailed upfront information on the reserve would have been nice.
