Knowledgeable, easygoing and genuinely committed to making your trip unforgettable.
It’s hard to put into words how amazing our trip to Kenya with Cinco Safaris was.
From the beginning, Eric understood what this trip meant to us and what we were looking for. He knows Kenya and its wildlife inside out, answered our endless questions and never rushed us, even when we wanted to watch the same animal forever. We saw the Big Five, and he didn’t give up until we finally found the leopard, the only one we were missing.
The itinerary worked perfectly for us. The hotels were exactly right for our budget, in great locations, and each one brought something different to the trip. Everything felt very well organized, but we still had the freedom to enjoy things at our own pace.
I also loved that it went beyond the safari. Spending time with the Maasai was unforgettable, and Eric took the time to show us Nairobi and a bit of everyday life there. He also got us tickets to the elephant orphanage, which was really important to me and not easy to get.
We felt safe and completely relaxed from day one. His perfect Spanish was a huge plus, we laughed a lot, and after ten days together we genuinely didn’t want the trip to end.
Kenya completely blew us away. The amount of wildlife is insane, the landscapes, the people, how different every place felt… A truly breathtaking destination in every way.
My only complaint is that it went by way too fast. I would do it all over again right now.
We’re so grateful to Cinco Safaris for being such a big part of this experience. We couldn’t have chosen better. Thank you for everything.

An Unforgettable, Purely Magical Safari Experience with Cinco Safaris!!
Booking our safari with Cinco Safaris was hands down one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. From start to finish, the entire trip felt like a dream—an absolute, unmissable journey that exceeded every single expectation we had. The landscapes, the wildlife, and the overall organization were top-tier, creating a seamless and deeply magical adventure.
What truly elevated this trip from great to extraordinary, however, was our guide, Eric. Words can hardly do justice to how incredible he is. From day one, Eric brought an extraordinary level of expertise, deep knowledge of the wilderness, and an uncanny ability to spot wildlife in the most incredible moments.
Beyond his impressive professional skills, it was Eric’s genuine warmth, kindness, and infectious positive energy that made our safari unforgettable. He was always attentive, endlessly patient, and constantly going above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable, having fun, and getting the absolute most out of every single day. His radiant passion for his work and his true human warmth made us feel so welcomed and cared for throughout the entire journey.
If you are planning a safari, do not hesitate for a second to book with Cinco Safaris—and if you can, request Eric! He turned a bucket-list trip into an experience we will cherish for the rest of our lives. 10/10, unmissable! Thanks!!

Best Masaai Mara Safari with Eric
Eric was an absolute star of a guide during our Masaai Mara safari. We were 3 girls travelling to Kenya for the first time and he made us feel extremely well taken care of and safe. He was great at communication, told us so many interesting facts about the animals, and was extremely patient with us when we were taking our million photographs lol. My fav part was that he was respectful of the animals instead of taking our jeep right in front of the animals faces - he gave the animals space and allowed us to admire them from afar peacefully and respectfully.

An Unforgettable Family Safari in Kenya – May 2026
We had an absolutely incredible safari experience with Eric and his team in Kenya in May 2026. Together with my family, we visited five different national parks, and every single day exceeded our expectations.
Eric speaks perfect Spanish, which made communication effortless, and throughout the entire trip he was exceptionally kind, professional, reliable, and attentive to every detail. His knowledge of the parks, wildlife, and local culture greatly enriched our experience.
The organization was flawless, the accommodations were excellent, and we always felt safe and well taken care of. Seeing so many amazing animals in their natural habitat was truly unforgettable.
These were some of the most memorable days of our lives, and my family will never forget this adventure. We are deeply grateful to Eric for making our dream safari a reality.
If you are planning a safari in Kenya, I cannot recommend Eric highly enough. He is passionate about what he does and goes above and beyond to ensure an exceptional experience. Five stars without hesitation!

Passionate about what he does
“Our safari in Kenya was absolutely unforgettable, and a huge part of that experience was thanks to our guide, Eric. We were on our honeymoon, and he truly made the whole trip feel extra special. He was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and always made us feel safe and comfortable. He knew exactly where to find the animals and taught us so much about wildlife, local culture, and the fascinating Maasai people culture as well. Learning about their traditions and way of life was one of the highlights of our trip.
All the hotels were excellent, with great quality service, beautiful accommodations, and delicious food. Every place made us feel welcomed and cared for. Thanks to Eric and the entire experience, we saw amazing animals up close and created memories we will never forget. Highly recommended!”

An outstanding safari operator with an honest, knowledgeable, and truly caring guide.
Our first safari experience in Kenya was excellent thanks to Cinco Safaris and our guide. He was honest, professional, and always willing to answer all our questions with patience and sincerity. He explained everything about the animals, culture, and parks in a very clear way. He also speaks the local language, English, and basic Spanish, which made communication much easier and more enjoyable for us. We always felt safe, well informed, and well taken care of during the entire tour. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Kenya for the first time.
