Great safari in East and West Tsavo
The Safari was lovely. We were lucky enough to go with a very experienced freelance guide, Omi, he was fun and cool to be with, always chill. Really good. We had two exciting overnight stays, one in Salt Lick which was really nice where all the animals came at night and the rooms (the hotel is built on stilts) all had a nice view and a pleasant buffet.
We also had a wonderful stay at the very lovely Zivani tent camp, where we did a walking safari and a night game drive where we saw the hippos on land and a few lions. Apart from that we saw plenty of lions, buffalos, giraffes, elephants, antelopes, crocodiles, zebras and many other animals.
Overall a fantastic experience that I would recommend to anyone!

Well-organized safari with stunning wildlife and a fantastic guide.
We did the “3-Day Amboseli and Tsavo West from Nairobi to Diani” tour and had a wonderful experience overall. The itinerary is very well designed and offers a dense, well-structured program with many activities packed into a short time.
Amboseli was perfect for a classic photo safari, while Tsavo West felt more wild and untouched, with impressive landscapes, mountains, and a great variety of wildlife. The combination of these two parks made the tour especially diverse and memorable.
The hotels and lodges were very nice and offered good services. However, due to the tight schedule and full program, the lodges are mainly intended as places to rest and sleep rather than to spend a lot of leisure time. Since we were there primarily for the safari and wildlife experiences, this suited us perfectly.
The tour was very well organized. Our guide, Christopher, was extremely friendly and attentive to our wishes. He made sure we always felt comfortable, tried his best to show us as many animals as possible, and always gave us enough time to take photos or simply enjoy the scenery.
Communication with the tour operator, Dominic, was open, easy, and uncomplicated. He also helped us with the return journey from Diani to Nairobi, and we were able to conveniently arrange the train ticket booking through the tour operator, which was a big help.
Overall, the trip was fantastic. We truly enjoyed every moment and only regret not having booked a longer tour. We would definitely recommend this safari to anyone looking for a well-organized and rewarding wildlife experience in Kenya.

Perfect!
It's a really serious and professional tour operator. The guide can speak english very well and he was really good at explaining and going to hidden place where were all types of animals.

My Kenya Safari
I had a memorable Kenyan safari in September 2025. It was organized by Kentau Safaris. I started planning this safari in March 2026. I was dealing with Dominic, who was wonderful to work with. I had many questions, and he always responded to me in a timely manner.
I was assigned to Christopher who was a wonderful guide with about 20 years of experience. His professionalism made me feel comfortable during my 6 day safari. I was amazed by his knowledge of the safari animals. He was very informative when I had questions on the culture of Kenya. I had a memorable visit to a Masai village. We visited the Masai Mara National Reserve, Lake Nakuru National Park, and Amboseli National Park. My lodging (2 lodges/1 hotel) was agreeable and enjoyable. Overall, this was a once in a lifetime experience. If I had the choice, I would choose Kentau Safaris once again. A million Thanks to Dominic and Christopher.

Professional safari company who prioritises customer satisfaction.
From the offset Dominic was professional and responsive to enquiries. We did a two night, 3 day safari in Amboseli and Tsavo West. Modi our guide was an excellent driver and very personable. He managed to show us some incredible wildlife sightings and on some occasions we were the only vehicle present. The accommodations suggested by Dominic were excellent. We also appreciated that this company is owned and run by Kenyans. A fantastic experience.

Perfect communication
Communication before the trip was flawless, very quick responses and accommodating to our request.
Very good value for money, we had excellent resorts and a private land cruiser at a reasonable price.
Our guide Fred was also really knowledgeable and accommodating, he really made an effort to listen to our requests and help find our favorite animals. All in all, very chill guy to cruise around with for 5 days!
If I had to make one remark, it’s that we asked to swap the visit to the Masaai villages on the last morning with a walking safari, to which Dominic quickly replied that it had been arranged. On the day itself however, it turned out that it would just be a walk around the Masaai villages with two of the tribe members, and while it was definitely a wholesome and interesting morning, we had imagined a bit different, and would have been more than willing to pay the extra park fee for the extra morning.
All in all, beautiful trip, very well organised and value for money!

Friendly, experienced and knowledgeable
Dominic that manage Kentau was really great setting up a fantastic trip and also helped out during the trip when we needed to make an additional ad hoc train booking and payment.
This in combination with our great guide Fred that guided us to, within and back from Masai Mara was a magnificent experience.
Fred’s way of driving and respecting the wildlife was really great. That in combination with his knowledge about animals and fauna made this trip an amazing journey. Can strongly recommend Kentau :)
