Friendly, kind, fun, and detail oriented in every way!
An amazing experience with incredible scenery and thoughtful details. We had the trip of a life time! I cannot recommend them highly enough!

You will not find a better tour company to work with!
What you cannot know from looking at safari websites is how big a tour company is, how many tours they are running concurrently, how experienced they are in the business, or how many staff they have. Had I known that Reteti was relatively small and new to the safari tour space, I might have passed them by assuming they wouldn't have the capacity to provide what we needed or the breadth and depth of experience to provide the best there was to offer. But that would have been a HUGE mistake. In fact, Reteti provided the best possible experience with the most attentive, personable, and accommodating staff imaginable!
We picked Reteti, not based on reviews, but because they offered a safari option that gave us a lot of variety in the short amount of time we had available to us. We went to Maasai Mara, Lake Naivasha, and Amboseli in 5 days.
We communicated by email and WhatsApp with only 2 different people, Kimani and Catherine. We learned later that Catherine and her husband own Reteti. I NEVER had to wait more than 24 hours for a response to every question I had (and I had a LOT). They were patient and kind and wanted to know and understand why we were coming and what our hopes were for our experience.
For example, this safari was a "bucket list" adventure in celebration of my 50th birthday. When Catherine learned that, she arranged for one of our hotels to do something special. When we got to our room, the first bed was decorated with fresh rose petals and leaves that spelled out "HBD".
The hotels we stayed at reflected the warm hospitality that Kenyans are famous for. Pride Inn Mara was our favorite. Every staff member made it their mission to make our stay easy and good. The Sopa lodge at Naivasha was equally accommodating, but much larger so naturally less personal. The Sopa lodge at Amboseli was a step down in accommodations (less anticipating of our needs, we had to ask for more, but they always responded), but no less friendly and certainly adequate.
The safari experience itself is very dependent on your driver/guide. And it was apparent from the beginning that we had one of the best. Charles knew his way around so well that we were often in the vehicle with the best views and access to the animals. He shared important information with us about politics of conservancy among different tribes and the Kenyan government, the geography and landscape, and of course the animals – all of which greatly enriched and expanded our experience.
We signed on for all the optional experiences and highly recommend others do the same, especially the hot air balloon ride which includes an amazing hot bush breakfast afterwards, complete with a custom order omelet station! It's worth getting up very early. It's worth the high price tag. Please know that the landing can be a bit rough, though, and I wouldn't recommend it for people with neck or back problems.
But overall, I can't say enough about how genuine and trustworthy they are. Catherine and her team graciously provided everything we needed and more. The entire experience, from first contact to booking to preparation to the trip itself and then lunch the last day, far exceeded our dreams and expectations. I am forever grateful.
Attention to detail. Looked at the needs of each and every member.
Kate - the lady who organised everything , did an excellent job in keeping us all informed. Prior to us landing in Kenya she told us what is required. Her service was beyond expectation.
Bernard - our driver to all the places we stayed and visited took extreme care. Very knowledgeable on what to expect. He could sense what to expect.
Value for money - Every stay , every trip and every long travel journey provided was great value for money.
Kate our organiser and Bernard - made sure that they were present as expected.
Politeness Kindness and knowledge was just great.
Being vegetarian they knew where we should go for a snack or lunch or dinner. It us right on our part to request them to organise everything.
When we return for the next trip, we know whom to contact and will rely on them for everything. Just fantastic.
A Quality Service
Reteti Adventure Dafari were very helpful and knowledgeable in helping us organise our Safari across 6 different Game Reserves, criss-crossing the country. We were met at the airport on arrival and departure. Kate was very helpful and no request was a problem.
Our Driver/guide, Bernard was excellent. Very observant, to pick animals in the tall grasses, a patient driver,very courteous and friendly.
6 of us thoroughly enjoyed the Safari.

Our driver cum guide was great. The trip was terrific and great value for money. I would recommend Reteti Adventures to anyone.
