a reliable and wildlife-savvy team in Kenya.
We just returned from a 7-day Kenyan safari organized by Extra Miles Safaris, and we are genuinely impressed. From our very first email, Joseph was quick to respond, patient with all our questions, and flexible in adjusting the itinerary to match our needs.
Our guide, Simon Mwangi, stood out for his excellent service and deep knowledge of wildlife. He could consistently spot a leopard hiding in tall grass, locate lions on the move, and knew every track the elephant herds use to reach their watering holes across the park.
Thanks to Joseph’s efficient planning and Simon’s expertise in the field, every game drive felt smooth and rewarding. We highly recommend Extra Miles Safaris to anyone looking for a reliable and wildlife-savvy team in Kenya.

Amazing 6 days in Maasai Mara, Amboseli and Nairobi
My son and I had an unforgettable journey through Kenya—an experience filled with moments and memories we will treasure for a lifetime. Our travel advisor, Wanja, played a pivotal role in making it all possible. She thoughtfully guided us through a range of options, helping us design an itinerary that perfectly matched our vision of a safari and cultural adventure. Her patience and flexibility in accommodating our changes, along with her detailed emails and calls, ensured that we were well prepared before setting out.
On our first morning in Nairobi, Wanja and her team personally met us at our hotel before driving us to Wilson Airport for our flight to the Karen Blixen Camp in the Maasai Mara. Our stay there was nothing short of magical. From the delicious breakfasts and dinners to the attentive service, every detail was carefully considered. The game drives—both morning and evening—were spectacular, giving us the chance to witness wildlife in its natural habitat. Our tent, perched on the banks of the Mara River, offered a unique soundtrack of rushing waters mingled with the grunts of hippos—an unexpectedly calming backdrop to our stay. A highlight was the balloon safari, which provided a breathtaking new perspective of the Maasai Mara that I would recommend to anyone.
From there, we traveled to Amboseli, where we stayed at the beautiful Tawi Lodge. Nestled amid a strikingly arid landscape, our hut was both rustic and luxurious, with views of Mount Kilimanjaro that felt almost surreal. The cuisine and service were world-class—on par with a Michelin-starred restaurant.
Our journey concluded back in Nairobi, where we visited Nairobi National Park and were fortunate enough to see rhinos up close. We also enjoyed a memorable meal at the famed Carnivore restaurant, a true culinary adventure, followed by a visit to the Nairobi National Museum. Learning about Kenya’s colonial past and its path to independence added a deeply enriching layer to our trip.
Looking back, every stop offered something special—whether awe, beauty, or insight—and together they created an extraordinary adventure we will always carry with us. We are deeply grateful to Wanja and her team at Extra Miles Unique Adventures for curating such a seamless, enriching, and joyful experience.

Very responsible and customer centric
Our interactions with Joseph was very pleasant and he guided us properly to understand the ground realities and helped plan accordingly.
Once we reached Nairobi, we were met by him at the airport and we met our driver cum guid Chris. Chris himself is passionate about wildlife and did everything to make sure we get to see the big five up close and plenty.
He was tireless for all the five whole days of game drive and we covered distance inside the jungle. Whenever he heard of spotting, he rushed to the place of action. The stays were comfortable and hotels were decent albeit expensive.
The only thing which could be avoided was the Masai village visit, which is purely a money making endeavour.
Overall, Extra Miles made sure we had one of our memorable holidays.

very nice :)
We had a wonderful safari in the Masai Mara – the organization, pre-trip communication, service, and reliability were excellent. The value for money and the overall experience were absolutely convincing.
One point that is especially important to us: we want to emphasize how crucial sustainability is for preserving this unique natural reserve. This also means avoiding off-road driving. We understand that it can be tempting to get closer to the animals, but this is exactly why all travelers should actively remind their guides to respect the rules. Only in this way can we ensure that both wildlife and landscape are protected in the long term, so that future generations can enjoy this beauty as well.
Overall, an unforgettable safari that we can highly recommend – with the heartfelt request to always keep the protection of the Masai Mara in mind.

Fascinating 4 days in Masai Mara, cannot expect more!
It's our first african trip and I did tons of research not to be scammed. Among over 50 travel agency I have contacted, extra miles became our final choice. Why ? first of course is their competitve quote. I picked all hotels in the trip so easily to compare the price between different vendors, extra miles is the only one who gave me detailed cost breakdown (accommodation / transportion / park fees) . But the real important thing which push me to make final decision is Joseph's professionalism and enthusiasmn in communication: He quickly responded all my questions with personalized, extensive suggestions. NOT a chatgpt answer I got from other agents. And he catered to all my requirepemnts like booking the flight directly and even help me to contact the hotels I booked myself. His prompt service didn't drop after we paid the deposit and everything went smoothly all the way to our arrival in Naroibi airport. YOU ARE THE BEST, JOSEPH!
Our driver Simon , performed another good job in Masa mara. He always actively searched for animals for us and patienly answered our questions. It was raining heavily late afternoon everyday during our stay and road was very muddy. Thanks for Simon' excellent driving skills, we didn't get any trouble and saw all the animals we expect to see , including a leopard climing down from the tree with a impala !
I would sincerely suggest everyone who read this review, send them a email to show your interest in east africa , and you definitely won't be disappointed !

Truly Went the Extra Mile!
We had an unforgettable African safari experience with Extra Miles in Nairobi! I went with a group of girlfriends, and the whole trip was planned beautifully from start to finish. They truly lived up to their name — going the extra mile to make sure everything ran smoothly.
Our local tour guide and driver were so knowledgeable, friendly, and flexible — they made our journey even more special. One of the highlights was the hot air balloon safari, which we decided to do at the very last minute. Extra Miles somehow made it happen with barely any notice. We were so impressed!
Highly recommend Extra Miles to anyone looking for a personalised, stress-free, and memorable safari in Africa. Absolutely worth it!

A Perfect Safari Journey with Extra Miles Unique Adventures
Among the 30+ local tour operators I contacted, I chose Extra Miles because of Joseph’s professionalism, enthusiasm, and patience—and it proved to be the right decision. Joseph, Fred, Felix, and the entire Extra Miles team made this trip absolutely perfect.
We booked the itinerary a year in advance, and after paying the deposit, Joseph’s attentiveness never wavered. He promptly answered all our questions and resolved any issues, consistently confirming details with us before the trip. When he noticed our late-night flight arrival, he even went out of his way to pick us up from the airport at midnight and escort us to our hotel. Throughout the trip, he checked in daily to ensure we were enjoying ourselves, always prioritizing our experience.
Our first stop, Amboseli, was a perfect appetizer. The hotel choice, Eleai, offered the best view of Kilimanjaro. Our guide, Felix, was incredibly punctual with top-notch driving skills and led us to a stunning spot where elephants and the snow-capped mountain aligned perfectly.
The Masai Mara leg was even more spectacular. Calling Fred the best guide in Kenya is no exaggeration. Even during non-safari drives, he shared rich cultural insights, deepening our understanding of Kenya. The vehicle was top-tier, with large windows and a canopy ensuring every seat had a prime view. Knowing we were big cat enthusiasts, Fred took us to see three cheetahs and countless lions in a single day, including an adult male lion casually lounging beside our vehicle to cool off. For every animal we encountered, Fred provided detailed explanations of their behaviors and traits, patiently answering our questions without a hint of impatience. His deep knowledge allowed him to anticipate animal movements, positioning us for the best viewing and photography opportunities.
The final stop at Crescent Island was the perfect conclusion. Joseph thoughtfully included a lunch at Naivasha Sopa, where we experienced this unique hotel and spotted Rothchild’s giraffes. Remarkably, during our boat tour after the Crescent Island hike, we encountered rain in the dry season, making our journey even more unique.
In short, this was a flawless trip, and no words can fully express our gratitude. The next time we go on a safari, we will undoubtedly choose Extra Miles again!
在我沟通的30几家地接社中，最终选择extramiles的原因是Joseph的专业、热情和耐心，事实证明我的选择完全正确。Joseph，Fred，Felix以及extramiles所有的工作人员让我们本次旅程变得完美。
我们提前一年开始预定了这份行程，在支付定金后行程开始前的这段时间，Joseph对我们的态度没有丝毫的冷淡，依旧是有问必答，及时解决我们的任何问题，在行程开始前不断的和我们确认行程，甚至发现我们航班深夜到达，担心我们不方便打车，主动在凌晨到机场送我们到酒店。行程开始后也是每天询问我们的体验，非常重视我们的感受。
第一站安博塞利是完美的开胃菜，酒店的选择很成功，eleai拥有最好的乞力马扎罗视角，我们的第一个向导Fred非常守时，驾驶技术一流，带我们找到了大象和雪山同框的绝佳点位。
马赛马拉的行程则是更为惊艳，Fred说是肯尼亚最好的向导也不为过，哪怕没有Safari的赶路过程中，也给我们讲述了非常丰富的人文知识，让我们更了解肯尼亚这个国家。车的条件也是最顶级的，超大的窗户和顶棚，保证了车上每个位置都有绝佳的视角。在得知我们是大猫爱好者后，更是带我们一天之内看到了3只猎豹和数不清的狮子，其中一条成年雄狮甚至主动趴在我们车旁乘凉。遇到的每个动物，都会给我们详细的讲解他们的习性和特点，不厌其烦的回答我们的问题，没有丝毫不耐烦。可能就是因为对动物的了解，Fred总能通过预判动物的走位为我们找到最佳的观看和拍照点位。
最后的新月岛行程更是为我们的行程画上了一个圆满的记号，Joseph在安排行程时，细心的为我们增加了naivasha sopa午餐环节，让我们感受了这家特别的酒店，并在这里打卡了罗氏长颈鹿。值得一提的是我们在新月岛徒步结束后的游湖过程中，在旱季竟然还赶上了一场雨，更是让我们的行程变得更加unique。
总之，这是一次完美的行程，任何语言都不足以形容我们此时此刻的感动，下次再来safari我们还是会坚定的选择extramiles！
