Amazing Safari experience
We were a group of 6 people and we went for the safari during the peak season in mid-July. Our tour guide was Simon Peter who made sure we had a fantastic experience during the game drives. We were able to catch all the big fives during our safari. All the accommodations were well arranged with good security and the food was really good.

Excellent service offer by Dominic and by David, our fantastic guide, good prices.
Dominic was very helpful and always avalaible. He helped us with our e-visa for example. We loved the service offered by David, our second guide. He was so kind, calm, good listener. He took great care of us. We saw and learned so much with him during the games drive.
Good price for all that we got.

comfortable and wonderful experience
Dominic's communication was smooth and helpful. He was always available online to answer our questions throughout the trip, and the price was much more affordable than other safaris. Furthermore, our safari guide, Jimmy, took great care of our family and meticulously helped us locate animals. I'm so grateful to Kentau Safaris for giving my family a wonderful Mara experience. We highly recommend Kentau, Dominic, and Jimmy to anyone looking to enjoy a safari!

Kentau could not have done better for our family trip!
We just got back from 2 weeks of traveling in Kenya as a family of 4 (kids age 10 and 13) organized and run by Kentau and had an absolutely amazing time. Dominic helped organizate the details and was tirelessly responsive and informative to my barrage of questions and iterations on our itinerary (I'm sure he thought they would never end!). Our driver/guide, and now friend, Fred was very experienced as well as focused on our trip, what would be best for our goals and to maximize our time in Kenya. He quickly worked through any unexacted bumps in the road that came up (because something will always come up!). Beyond expectations, Fred had unending patience for our girls (their ups and downs) and was genuinely engaged in their areas of interest like riding horses in the US and learning about softball. You could tell Fred was a life long learner himself and brings that love of information/exploration to his guiding. We could not have asked for a better trip and offer a BIG THANKS to the team that helped pull it off.

Incredible Tour - Peter is The Best!
Phenomenal experience chosing Kentau as our tour operator.
While booking Doninic was on top of everything for our 3 day trip to Tsavo & Amboseli making sure we got the best possible accommodations for our budget.
Our guide Peter was awesome, and all the wonderful conversations we had with him doing the journey was as much a part of our memories as the parks themselves.
In a short timeframe, we really got the whole experience seeing countless amounts of animals, including an unforgettable lion pride hunting a zebra pack.
The accommodations in Tsavo were our favorite from a 3.5 week journey throughout East Africa.
Cannot reccomend this operator enough!

Perfect safari experience!
We had such a lovely 4-day safari with Kentau Safaris. Everything was well planned and the communication with Dominic was easy and fast. He structured the tour very well and listened to our requests. Our guide, Moses, was warm, welcoming and kind - and he made us feel safe at all times. He knew a lot about the wildlife, nature and African culture, and we had so much fun with him. And to add, Moses was a very good driver (which we really appreciated, since the roads were in bad conditions sometimes).
We saw a lot of elephants, giraffes, zebras, buffalos, cheetahs, lions, wildebeest, antelopes, ostriches and warthogs. And definitely more animals that I forgot!
Thanks to Dominic, Moses and the Kentau team! We can definitely recommend booking with these guys - you won’t regret :-)

A wonderful, reliable, experience!
My review of the 3-day trip to Tsavo East and West couldn’t be more positive: Our guide, Cornelius, was gracious, knowledgeable, flexible… Wonderful in every sense. The car we used was modern, clean, spacious for me and my wife.
An the rides were something else. I didn’t expect Tsavo to be so beautiful and so full of life.
The lodges where we stayed, Ashnil Aruba lodge and Kilaguni Serena Safari Lodge, were very impressive, both next to a water hole. The two days we stayed there our rooms were next to the water, and we could see the animals, elephants zebras, Oryxes, etc., next to us.
The buffets had a big selection and good quality in their food.
I would end up saying that we would definitely contact your service again when we go back, which we hope will be very soon.

An amazing experience from start to finish
We were very pleased with the responsiveness and clear communication from Dominic. The quote provided was clear and accurately described the accommodations and safari activities/locations. The accommodation at Olkinyei Mara Tented Camp was our favorite. The hot meals and packed lunches were amazing and the tented rooms were clean and very comfortable. Our driver, Chris, was experienced and professional. He took great care of us and found many animals for us to observe. The highlight was a successful lion hunt which was incredible to witness. The itinerary and accommodations were exactly as described in the quote we received from Dominic. The experience was so fantastic that we are already planning our next safari. We will of course use Kentau again.

Incredible Safari experience in Masai Mara!
I went on a 5-day fly-in private safari in Masai Mara, Kenya with Kentau Safaris. I stayed at the beautiful luxury Serena lodge. Saw the Big 5 and more. They answered all my questions promptly, made planning easy, and were reasonably priced. I would highly recommend Kentau Safaris.
