3/5

We started our 6-day safari in Kenya with a great first impression. In Nairobi, the agency owner Morris introduced us to our guide Dennis, a trainee guide, and even gave us safari hats as a gift. Everything looked very promising at the beginning.

Unfortunately, the problems started soon after.

We entered Amboseli for our first evening game drive at around 4:30 PM, while the park closed at 6:00 PM. We weren’t too concerned because our itinerary clearly included a morning game drive the next day. To our surprise, Dennis told us he didn’t know about it and had already thrown away the park tickets, even though they were valid for 24 hours. He suggested skipping the morning drive and heading straight to the next destination because we were already short on time.

I insisted on having the morning game drive as planned and asked to leave at 6:00 AM to make the most of the limited time available. Dennis then claimed that the park gates only opened at 7:00 AM. After checking the information myself and speaking with the lodge owner, it became clear that this was not true. Dennis eventually admitted that he had lied because he did not want to wake up that early before a long day of driving.

As this was my first safari, I didn’t fully recognize this as a major red flag and eventually convinced him to leave at 6:00 AM.

I won’t describe every single day, but here are some of the issues we experienced:

• Amboseli – we only got half of the planned evening game drive, and the morning drive was shortened because Dennis spent around 30 minutes trying to recover the old tickets.

• Lake Naivasha – we arrived just before closing time, and during the Crescent Island excursion we had to rush through parts of the experience to avoid being locked out.

• Lake Nakuru – what was supposed to be both a morning and evening game drive turned into only a morning and partial daytime drive because we left the park and Dennis later claimed he didn’t know the ticket would not allow re-entry.

• Maasai Mara – before arriving, I explained the situation to Morris and asked him to speak with Dennis. Morris promised us a better experience. To be fair, Maasai Mara was excellent, and we had some unforgettable wildlife sightings. However, by that point we were constantly expecting another surprise or problem.

Overall, I cannot say this was a terrible safari. The wildlife was amazing, the landscapes were beautiful, and Morris genuinely tried to help whenever issues arose. The price we paid was also very competitive.

My main recommendation is simple: if you book with this company, try to avoid having Dennis as your guide.

Satisfactory but could be alot better
3/5

Driver was great, was knowledgeable. The drives themselves could be much better scheduled. Especially in times of inclement weather. The drives were too short and for such a big area, it takes time to explore. I'd rather do that than sit in a hotel.

Amazing organization for a 5 days safari trip to Kenya
5/5

I only had 6 days in Kenya and wanted to book a full tour for Massai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli parks. Due to the short time, I contacted many different operators and Raibon was the only one that was willing to adapt the tour to fit my agenda. The organization was impeccable. The tours happened on time and I got a daily assistance from the operator. Everything went exactly as expected and the experience will be forever in my mind. I will highly recommend the agency to my colleagues who are also planning to go to Kenya. Thank you very much for all the assistance. 10 out of 10.

Excellent Travel Experience with Johnbow Tours and Travel
5/5

We had an absolutely wonderful vacation to Mombasa, all thanks to Johnbow Tours and Travel! Despite the very short notice, their team organized everything seamlessly, exceeding our expectations in every way.

The trip was smooth from start to finish, with timely hotel transfers that made our journey stress-free. A major highlight was our stay at Sarova Whitesands—the hotel experience was truly exceptional, offering top-notch service, comfort, and beautiful views.

We’re incredibly grateful for the professionalism, efficiency, and hospitality shown by Johnbow Tours. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a reliable and customer-focused travel partner. We can’t wait to plan our next trip with them!

Very professional and caring

2-day private safari to Taita Hills

Big thanks to Johnbow Tours and Travel for an unforgettable safari experience. Special thanks to our tour consultant Morris Wambua and our driver Omar for arranging everything perfectly and their responsiveness to our special requests. The early morning game drive specially arranged for us will be a memory for life. We stayed at Taita Hills Resort and can really recommend the place due to its tranquility and service level.
