Perfect!
5/5

We were a family of five, the "small five," and were very excited by the "big five" and the many other animals that our excellent guide Ben showed us in the Masai Mara, Amboseli, and Nakuri National Parks, sometimes with adventurous jeep positions on earthen mounds, through small flooded areas... a superb driver and nature expert with a lot of experience - simply highly recommended.

Africa is a feeling - thanks to Gatelinks
5/5

Our seven-day safari with Gatelinks Safari was absolutely exceptional from start to finish. From the very first communication, the organization was flawless. the team was incredibly helpful, even assisting us with train ticket arrangements, which made our travel completely stress-free.
A very special mention goes to Ben, our driver and guide. Ben was outstanding — knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely passionate about what he does. He perfectly fit in with our family, making everyone feel comfortable and included. His wildlife knowledge, driving skills, and ability to adapt to our interests made the tour unforgettable.
Sharing laughs, stories, and even drinking a beer together with Ben showed how well he connected with us. He wasn’t just a guide; he felt like part of our group by the end of the trip.

Professional.
4/5

From the beginning to the end everything was perfect arranged. The transport vehicle was old so the seats were not up to date. Rose from the backoffice is very good, our driver/guide was a very safe driver. We can recommend Gatelinks to other travellers. Value for money is ok.

Very organised and professional company

5 days with Gatelinks Safaris, an unforgettable experience
5/5

For my first safari, I had a clear idea of the itinerary I wanted to follow, including must-see parks and activities like a balloon flight and a bike tour at Hell’s Gate.
After a long research, « safaribookings.com » popped up with a few companies and Gatelinks Safaris was the first one to respond to my quote request.
Rose answered me very quickly, just a few hours after my enquiry, with a detailed quote and a digital itinerary matching my personal choices.
After a few contacts with other companies, I decided to select Gatelinks for my project.

From the first conversation, Rose has shown her deep knowledge in safari experiences and we builded together the perfect project for a 5 days safari including Masai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha, Hell’s gate and the Girafe Center at Nairobi.
Every project is fully customizable and so every request will be analysed by Rose and included in the program depending on availability and feasibility.
For every question you have regarding your project, Rose will answer without delay, even during weekends or late evening.
We met at my hotel the first day, the whole itinerary was explained in details again and she handed me over to my driver, David.

David is, as Rose, a wonderful person.
He took care of me during those 5 days, checking everything for me (money withdrawal, change of planning due to weather,…) and making my safari unique and safe.
His drove me trough those beautiful parks with care and his knowledge about wildlife is wide and valuable.
David is such a good driver, his talent to spot animals is exceptional and this the result of years of experience.
The drives between the parks can be very long (5 hours sometimes) but with David, you just don’t realize it. We stopped a few times on the way for a coffee, had great discussions about the life in Kenya, he learned me some basic Swahili words,…
David is not just a driver, he made in every way my safari unforgettable.

From the first minute, Rose will take care of your program, making sure all your requests are fulfilled.
From the first kilometer, David will take care of you while discovering the beauties of Kenya.
Just choose Gatelinks Safaris, you won’t regret it.


As this was my first Safari, here are some tips.

Vehicle
Choose the Land Cruiser, it’s an extra budget but the car is much more confortable than the standard van.
Furthermore, the Land Cruiser can drive trough every kind of road or path, giving you the chance to explore many off-road areas.
It’s very well equipped : water, charging station for mobile phones, pop-up roof,…

Visa
Apply for the ETA at least one week in advance and print your ETA document in colours. The black and white picture is sometimes not clear enough which does not help when going through immigration.

Tipping
This is an important part of the total budget as it is a common practice in Kenya.
I personally used those numbers : 10usd /day/drive - 10usd/day/hotel
This can be adapted according to the level of performance delivered and personal feelings.

Suitcase
It is recommended to use a backpack or duffel bag as it fits better in the car trunk.
Especially if you travel in group or using national flights between the parks.
However, I have seen a wide majority of tourists traveling with hard cases on wheels.

Money
If you decide to withdraw money via an ATM, USD’s are hard to find as the majority of ATM’s offer KES only.
Money exchange at a “bureau de change” or bank is always possible.
Make sure you have a mix of both currencies even if paiements with credit cards are often accepted.
