70th Birthday trip for the family
I asked Henry to design and deliver a trip for a family of 15 with an age range of 5 to 70 yrs. He did not disappoint! form the choice of camps to the national parks visited all fitted the requirements perfectly. the guides were very knowledgeable and stayed with you for the 8 days. From Nairobi to Amboseli via Lake Navasha to the Massi Mara were saw and experienced all that Kenya had to offer. Trip of a lifetime for my whole family. Well done Salina Wild Adventures particularly Henry and our lead guide Simon.

Amazing experience with knowledgeable and experienced guides
The three drivers for our group of 15 were excellent, Simon, Konana and Sam. They were very experienced and chatty. They taylored their knowledge to the different members of our group. The tour went well over the 8 days and the drivers were good at letting us know what to expect at each stage. We felt safe and cared for at all times. One hotel was disappointing (Sarova Lion Hill) as it was a building site and some in the group had small rooms and the walk from reception to the accomodation and to the restaurant was steep and uneven under foot. The vehicles were a little tired, one broke down on the first day but was quickly repaired and back for the second day. It appeared that some other tour companies had more modern vehicles with less worn and dated seats. We spent a lot of time sat travelling between the national parks so a little better comfort would have been appreciated (I understand the vehicles are what they are but the seat cushions were flattened and material torn).

Salinas really looked after us - through all the arrangements things went smoothly
The company started by providing a detailed itinerary with plenty of pictures which we followed throughout the trip without any snags. The kind of accommodation provided varied a little between destinations but was just as described. At each stop we were made to feel very welcome. The food was generally excellent and the staff could not have been friendlier.
The highlight was probably the time we spent at the Masai Mara national park- the thrill of seeing so many amazing animals in that setting exceeded expectations. We need to give a special mention to John, our driver and companion for 5 days - he took exceptional care of us and helped make it such a wonderful experience, always making sure he did his best to find the animals we hoped to see.
Our trip was described as mid range but we felt the standard of accommodation was generally excellent. I am sure you could pay more and get more but we felt this was a fantastic all round package.
Thank you John and Salinas.

Fantastic experience
Had a fantastic experience, four nights in the Masai Mara. John our guide was extremely personable, informative, and an absolute master at finding game. His knowledge of the park was first rate.
Salina was extremely accommodating, and managed to make requested amendments as we went.
Highly recommended.

Provide a well organised programme and a great trip but clearly some background politics involved
We had a really great trip with Salina Adventures, saw a lot more wildlife than we were expecting and were for the most part impressed by the organisation. Henry was very good at communicating the latest updates to bookings etc. in the build up and gave us a lot of confidence in the quality of the trip before we arrived in Kenya. The hotels we stayed at were incredible and really made the trip feel like a luxury safari, so full credit to Henry for arranging those. Both of the guides we had (Peter and Simon) were good at finding the animals and were keen to take on board and adapt to our interests and what we were most keen to see and experience. Whilst there were some minor negatives to our experience (see below) the vast majority of the trip was well run and enjoyable and we would definitely recommend Salina to others, again bearing in mind the downsides below.
The only downsides were that almost none of the on-route game drives that were advertised actually happened, so worth just taking the programme Salina provides with a pinch of salt. Also, our guide was changed from Peter to Simon half way through the trip which was not communicated to us by Salina and there was clearly some politics going on it the background because both guides were then trying to take us and it was quite an unpleasant experience to be caught in the middle.

My guide Joseph deserves all the credit!
I booked a six-day safari tour in Kenya at the last minute after I unexpectedly found myself there and decided I couldn’t miss the chance to see the Great Migration in the Maasai Mara. I hadn’t planned the tour in advance, and it ended up being a private safari with just me as the sole passenger.
The experience exceeded all expectations, all because of Joseph. Safety was my top priority, and clearly is Joseph’s throughout the entire trip. I don’t take this lightly—every day, Joseph made professional, sound judgments and thoughtful decisions to ensure that the journey was completed safely. I am fully aware that the reason I was able to complete this trip smoothly and safely was due to his constant vigilance and experience.
Beyond safety, Joseph went out of his way to create an exceptional fun experience. He was deeply committed to making sure I had the best possible wildlife sightings, took the time to explore local culture, and made every day engaging and meaningful. Our countless interesting conversations added a personal and memorable dimension to the journey.
Traveling alone on a private safari could have felt isolating, but instead it felt enriching, well-guided, and completely secure. I am truly grateful for the experience and would highly recommend Joseph to anyone considering a safari in Kenya—especially solo travelers who value safety, professionalism, and an authentic, unforgettable experience.

An exceptional guide, combining local Maasai knowledge with great passion for animals
We had an incredible safari with Salina Wild Adventures. Simon was our guide and he couldn’t have been better. He was friendly, a local Maasai, and very knowledgeable about the animals and the park. He knew the Masai Mara like the back of his hand and had friends among other guides who helped us spot four of the Big Five.
The trip itself was seamless. We were picked up at our hotel in Nairobi, drove out to the park, and then flew back at the end which I would recommend. Driving was safe and well handled.
We stayed at Neptune Safari Lodge and it was a perfect spot after long days in the park. The staff there were absolutely incredible and made the stay even more special, a highlight was the Hippos living in the river right in front of the lodge.
Overall, this was a once in a lifetime experience and I highly recommend Salina Wild Adventures and Simon to anyone looking to do a safari.
Excellent tour for safari
John, our safari guide was truly outstanding — professional, highly knowledgeable, and very experienced. He consistently positioned us in the best spots for photography, ensuring we captured unforgettable moments. Thanks to his expertise and sharp eyes, we were able to see the Big Five as well as the breathtaking migration. He clearly understands animal behavior and the landscape, which made our safari both rewarding and efficient. I would strongly recommend him to anyone seeking an exceptional safari experience.
Henry helped us to book the safari trip. I really appreciate Henry and John’s support.

A great trip, good communications, good driver guide. e
The communications between Henry and my group are efficient. We got prompt responses and met our points. John is an experienced driver guide. During the Safari game drives, we saw the Big Five and many other wild animals and birds. We also saw the wildebeests with zebras migration three times. The trip is really great and fantastic. It's worth money.
Thanks Henry and John.
