Very professional, knowledgable, reliable, friendly, and kind people. Wholeheartedly recommend.
Kiboko
Booking a safari can be overwhelming. I started by filtering for small licensed Kenyan owned companies, then compared itineraries, favoriting ones that had good looking lodges/camps and roughly fit our idea. Kiboko tours came up again and again. I wrote them first for a quote among many others, and everything from that moment on was handled very professionally.
Gibson and the organisation were fantastic. He answered questions, was quick and timely, very professional, and fun. I often had questions or comments on weekends and I had to tell him don't answer me now, he was that prompt and thorough.
We had Sam as our guide and he was just exceptional in every way. His driving was excellent: confident, patient, in control, experienced, skillful. He was friendly and personable, funny, answered questions patiently, yet also gave us space and privacy as a family to enjoy this experience.
Sam's guiding was excellent. He stopped and allowed plenty of time to enjoy and process the first sighting of animals that three days later we might drive by without a word. He was super knowledgeable about the animals and birds, but also the environment, landscape, trees and always introduced this information in a timely way to give context to each place we visited.
He was super helpful with us learning about cultures and people and navigating those things that came up. He gave space for us to experience things ourselves too. He took on caretaking and responsibility for us in many ways which I appreciated (at a remote restroom he had checked it out for me before I even got out of the jeep).
We went to Amboseli, Lake Naivasha/Hell's Gate, Lake Nakuru (WAY underrated, go there!), and Maasai Mara. We were in the Mara in high season for the Great Migration and it gets crowded, many vehicles crowding sightings and his driving was safe, ethical, and with the animals comfort in mind, things I respect greatly. Their selection of lodges and camps was fantastic, (only minor issues were at a camp I specifically requested and Kiboko stepped in to handle our feedback to them).
This was simply one of the most amazing experiences of our life and everything was handled impeccably. They are professional, trustworthy, reliable--and friendly and seemed to really enjoy our enjoyment. We can't wait to go back to Kenya with them again.

Honeymoon to never forget!!
We had an amazing experience with Kiboko, we went away for our honeymoon.
From the start, they were engaging and very helpful throughout the whole booking process, giving me constant updates about where we were staying, our whole safari travel experience as well as additional excursions that were available.
Upon arrival, we were greeted by our driver, Chris, who was such a wholesome and wonderful individual. He knew lots about the locations we visited, had plenty of information to share regarding the animals we were seeing, why they weee acting in specific ways, what their regular life was like as well and informative about the cities and towns we were driving through. If you do book with Kiboko, I’d highly recommend a tour with Chris!!
Thank you for making our honeymoon a time to remember for years to come! If we ever do another safari, we know who to book with!

A fantastic personal experience
What an amazing experience! We used Kiboko for a 3 night trip to the Masai Mara. The booking process with Jane was very smooth and she was always available to answer any questions that I had and the response times were very quick and everything was well communicated. Our tour guide Samuel was truly amazing, he was so friendly and so knowledgable about all of the animals as well as having a great eye to be able to spot so many, including a very sneaky leopard! Our accommodation at Sopa lodge was fantastic as well, all the rooms very clean with great food and lovely communal areas. Kiboko always had a great personal touch, leaving the Masai Mara we had seen 4 out of the big 5 (only the rhino missing) and our guide Samuel said that Nairobi national park was a good place to spot rhinos. We asked if he would be able to guide us round there and within a few days we had a second trip lined up with Kiboko. I can’t recommend Kiboko enough for a once in a lifetime safari experience like we had with them.

Great Experience
It is a great journey with Sam and Gibson. For the booking and inquiries, they are very responsive. After we secured the booking, they also feedback with hotel reservations very quickly. During the safari, we learned so much from our guide and he is so patient and knowledgeable. We 4 people spent really wonderful time with Sam. It is an amazing trip and Africa is magical. I definitely will recommend them and hope revisit next time with them.

Highly Recommend Kiboko Tours !
I have been on many safaris however this was my first solo which I did in order to maximize photo opportunities. Gibson was amazing and very communicative in helping to plan the trip, and guides Chris and Emmanuel were patient and resourceful in listening to my needs and finding animals.

Unforgettable 8 Day Kenya trip with lots of animals, amazing guide and reliable tour operator
We booked our 8-day Private Safari with Kiboko a few weeks ahead of our trip, and it went very smoothly. Gibson communicated excellently, and we made some changes to the tour, and he was incredibly accommodating and answered all our questions.
Our safari guide Chris was the best! He is not only an exceptional guide but also a great driver and conversationalist. He can read the room perfectly and knows when his guests want to chat and when they want to just rest. Chris was always on time and was flexible when we wanted to adjust the schedule slightly. We particularly appreciated Chris's extensive knowledge about animals and Kenyan culture, giving us more insights and understanding of how life is in Kenya. We saw lots of animals thanks to him and would highly recommend Chris as a guide in a heartbeat.
On our last day, we had some more time than expected due to a flight delay, and Chris made sure we could spend the extra hours in Nairobi. We were thrilled with the coffee farm tour, and he recommended a great restaurant for dinner before dropping us off at the airport.
Our favorite place was Samburu. It's a bit further off but worth the drive because of the scenery and tranquility during game drives! We even spotted rare twin baby elephants and saw a massive herd of elephants passing along the river from our hotel balcony (Samburu Simba Lodge, a special gem with the kindest staff). Next to Masai Mara, we would further recommend checking out Ol Pejeta Conservancy, especially to support their Rhino conservation efforts. And if you want to see elephants very, very close (and if you are lucky, experience the thrill of seeing hyenas hunting), then Aberdare - The Ark is the place to go.
