Amazinggggg
Our safari was amazing! Thanks to our guide who was soooo kind and allowed us to live one of the most amazing experiences ever.
The accommodation was very good and meals very correct too,
Thank you so much we had an amazing trip.
Just perfect
Every element of this excursion was just right. I was worried about scheduling, being unfamiliar with Kenya. Our coordinator Esther answered each question kindly and promptly. We had a specific concern regarding gluten free food and she was able to get us clear information before we booked.
The actual excursion could not be better. Our driver Duncan was exactly on time, was polite and warm but not overly chatty. And he was an expert spotter on the game drives! We saw so so many animals, including cheetahs and an elusive leopard.
Our accommodations at Ashnil Mara were just lovely. Our room was well appointed and the staff was attentive and professional.
I fully recommend using Leisure Safari Escapes!
An exciting adventure, always with care
Me and my group of 7 friends had the trip of a lifetime (or two), all planned by Esther at Leisure Escapes Safaris! Leading up to the trip, we really appreciated how considerate Esther was to ensure we knew our options and answered each and everyone of our (many) questions. We did a 7 day safari to Amboseli, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, and Mara, staying at lodges in the parks at each step.
For most of our crew, this was their first Safari. Each and everyone was absolutely blown away with how up close they got with the animals. Each of the lodges we visited was unique and brought something special to our trip -- from the Elephant heard camped in the "backyard" of Ol Tukai Lodge to the stunning Mara views of the Mara Serena Safari Lodge.
We had an exciting end to the trip, with a high Mara river after a nights rain, because the river was not passable from our lodge, Esther expertly guided us through booking a last minute flight from the nearby airstrip. The entire group enjoyed this as a final adventure and were really impressed with how Esther was able to help us out at the last minute and arrange for an alternative way to get back and make our flight out of Nairobi.
Professional, responsive, and hugely helpful when support was needed
Leisure Escapes Safaris was wonderful! We spent 6 days on safari with them and everything went more smoothly than I could have expected. The guide was professional, knowledgeable, an excellent driver, and did a great job keeping us safe on some challenging roads. When we got stuck behind a flooded bridge on our last day, the company was quick to book us on a flight out of the park so that we could make our international flights from Nairobi that same day -- they were responsive and seamlessly found an affordable solution for us. Great value for money. Would happily recommend them and use them again if I return to Kenya!
Seamless safari experience with an exceptional guide
We had an incredible experience with Leisure Escapes Safari. From start to finish, Esther and her team were seamless in their coordination and communication, consistently responsive, organized, and accommodating to our group’s needs.
Our itinerary took us across four different parks and included stays at four lodges, all of which were expertly coordinated. Every detail was handled smoothly, allowing us to fully enjoy the experience without worrying about the planning.
A huge highlight of our trip was our guide, Charles, who truly made the experience unforgettable. He was incredibly knowledgeable during game drives and ensured that all travel between parks was comfortable and well-paced. We were also fortunate to see an amazing range of wildlife, including rarer sightings like cheetahs on the hunt and elusive rhinos.
One moment that really stood out was on our final day in Maasai Mara, when heavy rains flooded the exit roads. The Leisure Escapes team quickly sprang into action and helped coordinate alternative air travel so we could return to Nairobi in time for our flights home.
Overall, Leisure Escapes Safari delivered a smooth, memorable, and well-executed trip. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a thoughtfully organized safari with outstanding on-the-ground support.
