It was awesome !
We booked a 2-day safari and thanks to our guide Steve who was a superb person, he took great care of us to ensure that our experience went as smoothly as possible. We were able to see all the animals in Amboseli with lots of interesting anecdotes! We were even allowed to try out Maasai medicines, as one of us was ill.
It was a dream come true, and we'll be leaving with lots of memories. We highly recommend it. Asante sana Steve!

We had an unforgettable safari experience in Kenya, visiting Amboseli, Tsavo East and Tsavo West.
Our driver, Cina, is truly the absolute number one! With his 21 years of experience, you can immediately see that he knows every single corner of these parks. He took us to incredible places and gave us the chance to see lions early in the morning – twice we were the very first car in the park to spot them, before anyone else arrived.
The lodges were very nice – not top luxury, but still comfortable and charming. The agency handled things fairly well overall, although we were asked to make part of the payment in cash: an initial deposit with bank transfer/credit card, and then quite a big amount we had to withdraw in cash for the balance. Apart from this, everything went smoothly.
This safari was a fantastic, once-in-a-lifetime experience, and I especially want to thank Cina, our driver – without him, it wouldn’t have been the same. Truly the best!

Amazing
An unforgettable experience, made truly special thanks to our guide, China. Initially a bit reserved, he turned out to be an outstanding guide with 21 years of experience and deep knowledge of the land.
The lodges we stayed at were overall nice, with the last one (Voi Safari Lodge) offering a breathtaking view that truly stood out.
The agency (with Antony as our main contact) was very helpful and responsive throughout the planning process.
However, there were a few aspects that could have been communicated more clearly in advance. The remaining balance had to be paid in cash upon arrival, but the evening before the safari started, we were asked to hand over the money to a collaborator who would come to our private hotel. We preferred to give it directly to the guide in person the next morning, as originally expected.
Also, paying in local currency instead of US dollars ended up costing us more, due to the higher exchange rate applied by the lodges (compared to the official rate found online). This is definitely something that should be mentioned in advance, especially for travelers coming from Europe, where US dollars are not commonly used and need to be ordered from a bank.
Overall, it was a truly emotional and well-organized trip — one we will remember forever.
China number one!

Incredibly organized and thoughtful
I had an absolutely amazing experience with this tour operator during my four day Masai Mara/Lake Nakuru safari. Since the moment I contacted Dextrip Safari for a quote, the tour operator agent (Antony) was very thorough and responsive with his timely response to all my inquiries, as well as being proactive with providing the pertinent details about the safari tour. Impressed with his professionalism as well
as with the incredible tour itinerary, naturally I booked this tour with the deposit. When the tour began, I was even more impressed with their staff, their wonderful tour guides, their flexibility and consideration with accommodating the needs of their guests, their equipment, their choice of a wide array of accommodations ranging from budget to mid luxury to luxury, their attention to details and their commitment to provide a memorable safari experience for all their guests. Overall, I commend this tour company for their excellence and speciality in delivering a memorable safari experience to me and my fellow tour guests.

Very accommodating and showed tremendous kindness and communication.
Despite booking last minute the accommodations were lovely (brochure - like) and I’ll never forget the experience. The company reps and guide were communicative, accommodating, and flexible when certain detours were needed like an ATM run or traffic. Overall, I always felt I was in good hands!

Great price & guide, but itinerary changes und poor jeep had were not good.
We booked this safari mainly because of the attractive price in the advertisement – and in that regard, it did deliver. Our tour guide, Dida, was excellent: knowledgeable, friendly, and very committed to giving us the best possible experience during the game drives. Thanks to him, we saw a wide variety of animals and learned a lot about the local wildlife and culture.
However, there were several issues that negatively impacted the overall experience. First, the itinerary changed multiple times – both before the trip and even during the safari. This made it hard to plan and created confusion and uncertainty. Additionally, the vehicle used was far from what we expected: the jeep was in questionable condition and definitely not a premium one, as advertised. It didn’t feel entirely safe or comfortable for long drives on rough terrain.
Another major disappointment was the accommodation. We were placed in a different lodge than the one originally included in the offer. The alternative was acceptable, but not that we had paid for.
Overall, while the price and the excellent guide made parts of the trip worthwhile, the logistical and quality issues need serious improvement. With better communication, transparency, and equipment, this could have been a great safari experience.
