Exceptional visit to Nairobi Natl Park and Karen Blitzen Museum
Our guide, Lawrence, went over and beyond to make certain we saw and experienced the things that were most important to us. He delivered! He is very knowledgeable, answered all our questions(animals, culture, family, etc), and even extended our tour so we didn’t miss anything. Five+ stars for Lawerence!

Posted on Sep 29, 2025Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We’re thrilled to hear that Lawrence made your safari unforgettable by going above and beyond. He truly loves what he does, and it shows! We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to him. Your 5+ star review means a lot, and we can’t wait to welcome you back for even more adventures!
It was so easy to communicate and plan our safari exactly how we wanted.
There was nothing we could fault from start to finish. The communication throughout the booking process was very easy with quick responses. We were going back and forth quite a bit to ensure the package worked for us but at no point did anyone make us feel like we were too much hard work. Everyone involved was great from transfer drivers to our safari guide. Definitely worth paying the price for as it definitely was to a high standard. The tour itself was beyond brilliant. Our tour guide Sammie was such a pleasure to be around. He had so much knowledge about everything and found so many animals for us to see. He was always on time and ready to start the day and gave us the best time we could have asked for. He knew his way around the park and always made us feel comfortable. Would definitely 100% recommend and would use ourselves if we planned this trip again!

Timely and Value for money
My safari with Gemfinders Safaris to Samburu and Meru National Parks was an unforgettable adventure. Samburu impressed me with its stunning dry landscapes and rare wildlife like the reticulated giraffe and Grevy’s zebra, while Meru offered a peaceful, green escape full of animals and history. The contrast between the two parks made the journey diverse and exciting.
Gemfinders Safaris made everything seamless — from well-planned itineraries to knowledgeable guides who knew where to find the best sightings. Their attention to detail and personalized service truly elevated the whole experience. I highly recommend exploring both parks with Gemfinders for an authentic and memorable Kenyan safari.

I recommend
I traveled to Masai Mara with Gemfinders Safaris, and they were incredible, delivering everything as promised. Our guide, Kim, was outstanding. While we didn't spot all of the Big Five, that's completely understandable. I highly recommend Gemfinders Safaris.

Over and above
Our guide Habil was amazing! He went over and above to make this the most epic 3 day tour of Tsavo East/West National park. His patience, kindness and willingness to go the extra mile for 3 very excited travelers was incredible. We saw and did so much in the 3 days and were happily exhausted at the end of each day. If you want to see a phenomenal amount of animals with very full days, Habil and Gemfinders is the way to go.
Habil was the most incredible, well informed guide!
We had the best day with Habil anf our Safari for exceeded our dream. My colleague and I were in Nairobi on business and we had one day to experience Kenya
Habil did not disappoint. He gave us so much history and information about the animals. My travel partner really wanted to see lions. it was her dream. we knew this was a very remote possibility and it is.
Habil had a friend who was a ranger and took us to five sleeping lions. I will never forget that sight.
Of course, everything gemstone does is to protect and preserve the animals whichid why I chose them over everyone else.
I cannot give enough praise for gemstone. I have told all my colleagues and highly recommend!

Amazing people that gave us such an incredible experience and itinerary
I would just like to say a big thank you to Brian and his team and Gemfrinders for giving us an incredible experience on our safari in Kenya it really exceeds expectations.
Also a very big thank you to our safari leader Samson who made the whole journey so spectacular! We enjoyed his company and his professionalism which allowed us to explore and get such an amazing experience with perfect photos of wildlife in Kenya!
We started off at Samburu with such an amazing landscape and watched the elephants go about their day by our lodge as well as the perfectly organised game drives. Gemfinders also booked us in with a lake safar experience at Lake Nakuru and Lake Naivasha where we got to see the hippos and travel to crescent island to walk with the animals.
We were also taken to Masai Mara with a hot air balloon experience overseeing wildlife early in the morning and then a beautiful breakfast in the savannah as the animals walked around. We then finished off with another excellent game drive in amboseli to finish our trip.
We had an amazing journey on the way and met beautiful people in the village and those that were part of the community. Brian and Samson made this a trip to remember for the rest of our lives and we have made friends along the way.
We will definitely be booking with Gemfinders for our next safari to Tanzania, Serengeti and with many more to come with our good friends!
Thank you all once again!
