Amazing experience
5/5

We had Mahmud, to give us the best time. We saw a huge number of animals besides the big ones.. especially for me the eagles. Mahmud made the long treks so much fun and every day was great..! His knowledge and skill at spotting animals was amazing. Thank you.

Great trip! Good value, well organised & experienced guide!
5/5

Excellent communication from owner Ton right from the start. Ton took an interest in what I wanted and put together the perfect safari for me and my family. Guide Mahmoud was first class and very professional, organised and knowledgeable. Trip was good value and accomodation at Taiti hills, Severin and Sentrim was all great. Would highly recommend and good to support local family business rather than larger, corporate tour operator. We would look to book with them again without hesitation for our next safari!

5/5

Our Safari with Netherken was from A - Z an absolute satisfying and wonderful experience! Our tourguide Mahmoud was 100% reliable, very friedly and super skilled! We‘ve seen almost every animal that we hoped. The communication between the company and us worked without any problems. In comparison to other Safari companies, Netherken was by far the best and most valuable Choice!

Fantastic experience booking with Netherken Safaris.
5/5

From the outset, dealing with Ton at Netherken Safaris was a breeze. He responded quickly to all emails and was incredibly patient whilst we tried to work out an itinerary and accommodation. He constantly sent updated itineraries detailing everything until we were completely satisfied.

Our guide/driver for the 4 days was amazing. Driving in Kenya is not for the faint-hearted but we felt incredibly safe. He was very knowledgeable and would chat away, but he also knew when we just wanted to relax. He put in so much effort and driving to make sure we saw lots of animals on safari and we can't thank him enough for an amazing experience.

It can be daunting trying to choose a safari company as you are spending lots of money and want an unforgettable experience. I would definitely recommend Netherken Safaris - we have come home with the most wonderful memories and pictures.

Everything perfect!
5/5

The safari was perfectly organized. Ton, the owner of Netherken, has always responded very quickly.

We hit the jackpot with our driver Mahmud. His experience, his reliability, his driving skills and his knowledge impressed us. The safari was an unforgettable experience for the whole family.

Serena Lodge in Amboseli was amazing. Ngulia Lodge was very well located, the food was average. Voi lodge had a great view and the food was good.

We recommend to take the train from Nairobi to Emali if you start the safari in Amboseli and finish in Mombasa. The Higway is a nightmare.

6 out of 5 stars for Netherken!

wonderful experience.
5/5

Communication was easy and always on time, no issues there.
The value was fair/good regarding the service provided.
I got the one day tour to Tsavo East. They picked me up on my hotel in Diani Beach at the agreed time, they had water in the van, and we stopped in a place for a coffee (not included). The park is great, and the tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. We manage to see some animals and the scenery is beautiful.
Lunch was really good. And I was dropped back at the hotel at dinner time. I recommend using the service. But would recommend also to do at least two days instead of one.
