Excellent Experience - Well-Thought Itinerary, Great Service/Coordination team
5/5

My first safari experience was a resounding success thanks to the Eta team and my wonderful game driver, Brian! When I began to explore safari options (looking for roughly a week long trip), I was impressed by Eta's itinerary and cost point. The itinerary was comprehensive, including fees for the game reserves, lodging, and all meals - there was very little as well as optional activities (which I highly recommend participating in!). From the get-go, Derrick, my main point of contact at Eta, was patient and thorough in answering my (many) questions. He went above and beyond throughout the remainder of the process, checking in with me throughout the safari to make sure I had a good experience.

The actual safari experience was lovely. We saw amazing wildlife and explored many different terrains within Kenya. I embarked on the 7-day itinerary which included visits to Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru, Hell's Gate, and Amboseli game parks. I wasn't sure what to expect from a safari, but a lot of time was spent in the car, sometimes spent off-roading or traversing bumpy roads - if you have back problems or other mobility constraints, come prepared! I also want to remind people that you are tracking wild animals. There is nothing your driver can do to control if the lions will be awake when you see them or if they'll even be visible in the first place; I only bring this up as there were several entitled people who would whine if the Cheetah we saw wouldn't magically wake up and smile for them - please don't be that person!

That aside, my driver Brian, did an excellent job at tracking down rare animals and making sure that we got up close and personal to the big five and more. Brian is also extremely funny, knowledgeable, and can answer almost any question you have along the way. We had a few technical issues (broken down car, flat tire in a game park) and Brian remained cool and collected until they were resolved. I was also impressed by the fact that we were able to find a replacement vehicle within an hour of our car breaking down, allowing us to proceed with our safari with little interruption.

I highly recommend participating in optional activities - the Masai Mara visit and Lake Naivasha boat ride were some of my favorite experiences of the safari! Overall, the overall costs of the safari are well worth the money. I personally upgraded to the "mid-range" accommodations, which actually ended up being some pretty nice hotels along the way. If you can afford it, I think the few hundred dollar upgrade in comparison to the budget option is worth the splurge.

Couple of other notes - there were a few minor issues throughout my safari, however, the Eta team responded to them quickly. I had a situation where one of the hotels I was staying got overbooked for one of the two nights I was supposed to stay there. While unideal to need to switch hotels, Eta was able to replace that with a comparable accommodation and everything worked out fine. Another piece I'll note is at times there seemed to be a disconnect between what was being communicated between the safari company and our driver (e.g. which passengers were staying at which lodgings, etc.) - this didn't impact the overall experience but sometimes lead to some confusion or additional communication needed between safari company and driver.

Everything said and done - Eta provided a fantastic safari experience and I could not recommend Brian more! I loved going on safari in Kenya and could not recommend this tour more!

Francis made the trip a once in a life time experience with his expert knowledge and skills.
5/5

Highly recommend the experience. If possible request Francis as your guide. He knew all the spots to see the animals from the best angles and worked hard to ensure an informed and positive experience. The communication and logistics were handled well and things went smoothly.

Amazing Kenya Safari
5/5

I would like to give my guide, Francis, the strongest recommendation. He is an exceptionally professional guide who can help you plan almost everything—from organizing your trip to finding animals and positioning you for the best possible viewing angles. During our days in the Masai Mara, he helped us spot over 50 different animal species, including the famous "Big Five." He is also incredibly patient, taking the time to explain the names, characteristics, and habits of each animal. He is truly a knowledgeable naturalist and an excellent teacher—patient, professional, and arguably the best guide you could find in Kenya.

Later, Eric, who guided us to Hell’s Gate National Park, was also a very enthusiastic guide. He was thoughtful and well-organized, helping us interact with the animals and sharing a wealth of knowledge about wildlife. Choosing him turned out to be an excellent decision.

Very kind people willing to accommodate your needs.
5/5

We had an amazing 10 day experience through the safari. We were a little intimidated by being in a new country but the responsiveness of the tour group really helped us adjust. You won’t know about some of the pickup/drop off times until day of but that is normal in the country.

Great service
5/5

Great communication, help and advisory. I liked travel with them.
