Precise efficient flexible and very friendly
5/5

We contacted Edwin Safari through the web and from the beginning we were very satisfied about the service, the speed of communication and the agenda personalisation.

A special thanks to Peter the tour operator representative who organised our trip in the best way possible.

The trip went as programmed and we managed to do everything that we had decided in the best way.

Another special thanks to Timothy, our tour guide, who was very prepared in animal identification and ethology.
It was a wonderful surprise that we shared his passion for birdwatching so we had a great time identifying bird species. He was well equipped with guide books and ready to collect all the information in real time.

If we decide to came back to Kenya we would definitely contact Peter and Timothy again.

Unforgettable family-friendly Safari with Edwin Safari
5/5

Our 8-day safari with Edwin Safari was not just a trip. It was a once-in-a-lifetime family experience that we will cherish forever.

From the very beginning, Peter, who took care of our entire itinerary, was absolutely outstanding. Communication was excellent: always fast, clear, warm and incredibly accommodating. He was extremely helpful during the planning phase, patiently answering all our questions and tailoring the trip to fit our family’s needs. Planning a safari with two young children can feel overwhelming, but Peter made it fun and structured. Throughout the entire journey we felt cared for, safe, and in excellent hands. The level of service and reliability was exceptional and offered tremendous value for money.

Our itinerary was perfectly balanced and well thought out: Amboseli → Lake Naivasha → Masai Mara → Lake Nakuru → Ol Pejeta. Each destination brought something unique, and the pacing worked well, especially important when traveling with two boys aged 5 and 9.

We were incredibly lucky to have James as our guide. He was simply exceptional! His knowledge is astonishing; not only about animals, but about nature, culture, geography, and pretty much everything our curious kids (and us adults!) asked. He explained things in such an engaging and accessible way.
James was also extremely mindful of traveling with children; patient, kind, and always attentive to their needs. He went out of his way on multiple occasions to make sure we had the best possible wildlife sightings, adjusting plans when needed and making the experience exciting and comfortable for all of us. His professionalism, service mindset, and genuine passion for what he does made a huge difference in our overall experience.

This journey gave our family moments of awe, laughter, connection, and pure joy. Seeing our children experience Africa’s wildlife with such wonder, guided by people who truly care, was priceless. It made us so sad to end this safari..!

If you are looking for a safari company that delivers heart, excellence, reliability, and unforgettable experiences, Edwin Safari is truly exceptional. We couldn’t have asked for more. We would choose them again without hesitation.

Professional and welcoming tour operator!
5/5

Me and my group for friends from Norway were having a great time on this safari. Peter (the coordinator) replied thoroughly to everything we asked about, and customized the itinerary to our needs. Very professional and also with a sense of humor. Great value compared to other operators, and a much more personal feel. When we arrived we were greeted by Peter and Jack, our guide. Jack was amazing, took well care of us and was very calm, funny and easy going. He could talk to us about everything from animals, nature, history and Kenya culture. Saw lots of animals, loved the trip and would recommend!

An Unforgettable First Safari Experience with Edwin Safari
5/5

This was my first time joining a safari, and I’m very glad that I chose Edwin Safari. In just seven days, the trip left me with incredibly wonderful memories and experiences.

Our guide was Amos. He has many years of guiding experience and is truly an expert at spotting wildlife. He drives safely, has a sharp eye for finding animals, and always knows the right places to try our luck. Almost all of the animals we saw were found thanks to him. In addition, he has extensive knowledge of birds and wildlife and is always happy to share it with patience and enthusiasm. On some days, he had to drive for long hours, yet he consistently maintained great energy and ensured a very safe journey.

Our contact person, Peter, was also extremely enthusiastic and friendly. He always responded to our questions promptly and helped us plan the most suitable itinerary. Once the schedule was confirmed, he immediately sent us the hotel booking confirmation details.

Without a doubt, this was a very successful safari trip in Kenya. The wonderful experience made me love this country and the African savannah even more. I would love to come back again, and I will definitely continue to choose Edwin Safari and Amos as my companions.

Perfect!
5/5

Everything was perfect! The guides, Kevin and Tommy, were exceptional. Kevin spoke Spanish perfectly.
It was a beautiful trip—we were able to see all the animals! Honestly, it wasn’t very crowded at that time of year, which made it even better. If you can go with more people, the jeep is cheaper per person, and definitely choose the jeep because it’s much better than a van. It’s better to pay in cash whenever possible, as banks charge very high fees.
A unique experience!”

5/5

I book last minute for a holiday safari. He pulled together a nice package for us. Plus as residents of Kenya, he didn’t try to gouge us on pricing! He just made a long term client of us by offering great value and great packages. Happy to find out he does safaris in other countries too!

Unforgettable safari experience with smooth planning and the best safari guide!
5/5

We had an absolutely unforgettable 7-day safari experience with Edwin Safaris, and we cannot say enough good things about our incredible safari guide Jeffrey and the wonderful Peter who coordinated everything!
From the very beginning, Peter was exceptional. He worked with us to customize our itinerary to perfectly match our preferences, showing incredible patience and attentiveness throughout the entire planning process. Peter went above and beyond by even helping us secure train tickets to Mombasa for after our safari, which is something that requires a Kenyan SIM card and would have been impossible without his assistance. The payment process was seamless; I used Wise to wire the deposit and paid the remaining balance upon arrival without any issues.
The safari itself was nothing short of MAGICAL! Jeffrey is an extraordinary guide. He is deeply knowledgeable, genuinely kind, and so funny. His passion for nature and wildlife shines through in everything he does. What truly impressed us was his genuine respect for the animals’ wellbeing during our drives. He balanced giving us the most incredible safari experience while never disturbing or stressing the wildlife. This care and professionalism made the experience even more special.
Over 7 days, we visited 4 national parks and saw more wild animals than we could have ever dreamed of. Jeffrey was incredibly attentive, always making sure we had time to stop for photos, take breaks, or anything else we needed. The vehicle was spotless and comfortable, with cold bottled water always stocked in the fridge. As women traveling in a foreign country, we felt completely safe and cared for the entire time.
THANK YOU SO MUCH EDWIN SAFARIS - especially Jeffrey and Peter! You made this trip of a lifetime truly perfect. We absolutely hope to be back soon!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

The trip of a lifetime
5/5

Our 7 day safari to Amboseli, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, and the Massai Mara was the trip of a lifetime. After reviewing four options for safaris, we chose Edwin Safaris because of the range of locations included. Responses to our questions were quick, and Peter was most helpful with extras we requested. Our guide-driver was James, and he was wonderful, knowledgeable about the animals, birds, and geography, and he made every effort to help us to see a wide range of animals and birds, and so we were able to see the big five! Each of the locations we explored had a variety of animals, some found in each place, but also some special sets of animals to see and experiences to enjoy: elephants and flamingos in Amboseli, and the view of Mount Kilimanjaro and the vista from the Noomotio Observation point; the Rothchild Giraffes, monkeys, baboons, and Great White Pelicans around Lake Nakuru; the boat ride on Lake Naivasha to see hippos close by, and so many different birds, and to be able to walk around in an area with zebras, wildebeest, waterbuck, impala and others close by; and the Masai Mara had so many animals and birds, but it was especially exciting to see a leopard. I will be recommending Edwin Safaris to anyone who asks me about going on safari.

Peter and James made Kenya feel like home
5/5

We are a French couple… yes, probably a bit too demanding 😅, and we decided to go on a 7-day safari in Kenya, from Nairobi to Diani, between October 25 and November 2, 2025.

During our research, we spoke to at least ten different agencies (maybe more), trying to find the best value for money, but above all, people who are serious, trustworthy, and genuinely care about making your experience amazing.
We wanted standard accommodations (no camping), proper attention to our dietary needs, and a clear, well-structured itinerary.

Edwin Safari didn’t have many reviews back then, which made us cautious.
And yet… we started talking with Peter, and his professionalism stood out right away. Eventually, we understood that he had a strong background working with other agencies and that his name came up positively in many reviews.

He offered a great price, fully tailored the trip to what we wanted (Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Amboseli, Tsavo East), was always available, always listening, and always thinking ahead.
Honestly, everything seemed too perfect, to the point we didn’t believe it could be real.

But then… Peter connected us with past French clients, and they told us:
“Go with Peter, no hesitation.”

So, we booked with Edwin Safari.

And it turned out to be an absolute gem. Every single lodge exceeded our expectations. With the budget we had, other agencies offered us campsites, Peter gave us gorgeous hotels, with delicious food adapted to our diet.

All transfers were handled smoothly.
Drivers were always waiting for us with signs, vehicles were clean, always on time… we even got upgraded to first class on the train.
Everything was planned to the minute, and adjusted depending on weather and wildlife activity, so we were always in the right place at the right time.

And now… we have to talk about James. Without him, this safari would never have been the same.

He was our guide for all game drives, but more than that, he took care of us throughout the whole trip.

His passion for animals and nature is so real and contagious.
I came for the lions, but James made me fall in love with birds! He tracks animals from footprints, lends you his binoculars so you can catch a tiny movement in the distance… James helped us truly connect with the ecosystem, feel it, understand it, notice the tiny details.

A great safari isn’t about seeing the most animals. It’s about having a guide who opens your eyes to what really matters, and that’s exactly what James did for us.

Peter and James, thank you for allowing us to slow down. Keep your energy and your care.

This team is safe, respectful, budget-aware, and truly focused on giving you more than a trip : a memory for a lifetime. That’s Edwin Safari’s strength.

Please never change that.

Long live KUDUS! 🦌

Unforgettable 7-day safari across Kenya! Amazing wildlife, great guide Jack & perfect organization
5/5

An unforgettable experience of a lifetime!

We are a couple from the Czech Republic, and we spent seven incredible days on safari, traveling through Amboseli, Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru, and the Masai Mara — and we were lucky enough to see the Big Five! Every single day was filled with breathtaking views, amazing wildlife, and moments we’ll never forget.

A huge thank-you goes to our amazing guide Jack — he was incredibly kind, helpful, knowledgeable, and always patient with our endless questions. His stories were inspiring and gave us a deep insight into Kenyan life, wildlife, and culture. It truly felt like traveling with a friend who loves his country and what he does.

We also want to thank Peter for his excellent communication and organization — everything went smoothly from start to finish. The accommodations and food were great everywhere, and we felt safe and well taken care of throughout the entire trip.

This adventure gave us memories for a lifetime. Kenya, its nature, and its people have truly touched our hearts.
We’ll never forget this journey! ❤️
