Amazing service....
Everything was perfect. The communication, the service, the human touch. Moses was amazing and he went out of the way to make sure our stay was pleasant and we could enjoy our safari to the full extent.

Best choice for Kenya!
I contacted some companies for Safari in Kenya, in different parks, and this one seemed the most professional since day one. Their office works 24h, they always reply very quickly, so comunication could not be better.
Then the service was absolutely amazing! Our driver was trustable, nice, he had great knowlege about the animals. The lodge was amaazing! I'm sure I will contact Oakland anytime i'm back in Kenya, as they are like a friend that welcomes you in their own country!

THIS TOUR COMPANY GOES WELL ABOVE WHAT IS EXPECTED AND PAID FOR
I did a lot of research before booking this safari, finally I chose Oakland Tours and Safaris. I have no connection to this company whatsoever and have never dealt with them before.
From the first dealings with the office, I found "James" to be so very professional, I was very impressed and continued with the booking after noticing how he dealt with me. Very very straightforward and clear to understand their requirements. Straight to the point so there could be no misunderstanding on either side.
Paying for a full Safari before arriving in the country as is required is perhaps unusual for us in Europe, but the accommodation and National Park fees and all the other expenses have to be paid for in Kenya in order to ensure that your Safari accommodation is ready and all in order and guaranteed before your arrival.
Now, our tour guide Moses was absolutely exceptional.
What a kind, most professional, educated and generous spirit. I really don't know how lucky we were to be assigned Moses, from the very beginning of the tour we felt completely as if we were with a family member.................our experience with Moses was far beyond our expectations. We felt that we were with a man that was so confident, honest and fully in control of everything around him.
Never once did he try to manipulate us into a situation of buying curios, African artifacts or other such items that are sold in the rest stops and entrances to the National Parks.
It was most incredible, having travelled extensively globally, it is rare to see a tour guide that doesn't "guide" you into a shop where he is going to make a commission of some sort of object that one didn't need in the first place.
The dignity that Moses displayed in his personal integrity was amazing. He was so patient in showing us where the animals were and in going out of his way to find the animals. His knowledge of the animals and rare birds that we saw was incredible, obviously having learned all these facts and figures. We saw so many animals that I feel that I am seeing lions, zebras ,elephants, giraffes etc etc in my dreams. Far too many to mention here. Nothing was too much for Moses, I could notice that he wanted to make sure that we would go home having been on a real Safari, not just a quick drive around.
We went to Lake Naivasha National Park, Lake Nakuru National Park and Masai Mara National Park. It was the trip of a lifetime.
No doubt Moses is an enormous credit and value to Oakland Tours and Safaris. This kind of employee can't be found just anywhere and he is a real gem. I asked him if he is related to the owners of the company and he is not related to them.
We most highly recommend this company and if we are to go by the service that we got from Moses and James then I am 1000% sure you will never find anything better.
They have a Safari for all sorts of budgets, from 5 star downwards, so irrespective what what your budget is they will work with you to get you a good deal and will accommodate you.
I hope you have a great trip to Kenya and get home with memories that will be forever in your memory.

Very attentive to our needs and organized.
I was referred to Oakland Safaris via a friend and was not disappointed - from the start the team around Felista is really responsive and serious about their services. I asked for a personalized safari to Amboseli and Chyulu Hills NP and they tailored it quickly and asked for any preferences (hiking, game drive, camping, …).
Our guide, Moses, is a very very kind soul who has been working as a tour guide for a long time and you can really tell by the way he is organised and always ahead of time.
In our experience, he will make sure to explain the schedule ahead of time and he also leaves time for suggestions or extra desires. Also he is very punctual , which seems obvious for this job but isn’t always guaranteed unfortunately.
Of course the National Parks are very pretty and offer a variety of game to be spotted.
All in all, it was a very pleasing experience and the agency is very professional and personalized to your needs.
