An unforgettable safari – and memories we’ll treasure forever! 🐘🌍
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 – An experience that exceeded every expectation!
Where do we even begin? Our private safari with Loushir African Safari was, without exaggeration, one of the most incredible experiences we’ve ever had. And what made it so special wasn’t just the breathtaking wildlife or the beautiful landscapes of Kenya – it was the people who made it all happen.
From our very first contact, everything felt easy, personal, and genuinely thoughtful. We were able to customize our itinerary, switch hotels to better suit our preferences, and create a safari that was truly ours. Every request was handled with such kindness and flexibility that we felt completely taken care of before we’d even arrived.
And then there was Guts. ❤️
Our wonderful guide and driver, a local from Diani Beach, who honestly deserves a review of his own!
Guts was so much more than someone driving us through the national parks. He was incredibly knowledgeable, kind, respectful, patient, and genuinely passionate about the wildlife and his beautiful country. We learned so much from him, laughed a lot, and simply loved spending those days together.
He had an unbelievable eye for spotting animals, often noticing things we would never have seen ourselves. Thanks to his incredible instincts and lightning-fast reactions, we got to witness cheetahs in the wild, spot a leopard, and experience countless moments that still give us goosebumps when we think about them.
And then there was Mount Kilimanjaro – seeing it rise above the African landscape was one of those moments when you just stop talking and take it all in. Absolutely surreal.
What we appreciated most about Guts was that he never made us feel like we were simply following a standard safari itinerary. He genuinely wanted us to have the best experience possible. He went out of his way to create special moments, and you could tell that our happiness and the memories we were making truly mattered to him.
Since we booked a private safari for just the two of us, we had the freedom to enjoy everything at our own pace. It felt like our own little African adventure, rather than an organized tour.
Everything was perfectly arranged, from our initial pickup to being dropped off at our next hotel in Diani Beach. Not a single thing to worry about – just five unforgettable days of exploring, discovering, and falling a little bit more in love with Kenya.
We do want to mention one thing: before booking, we were slightly hesitant because we couldn’t find many independent reviews of the company. If you’re currently in that same position, let this be the review we wish we’d found back then. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
We’ve already recommended Loushir African Safari to our family and friends, and we would book with them again in a heartbeat.
To the entire team at Loushir African Safari: thank you for making our dream safari a reality. And to Guts: thank you for your kindness, your laughter, your incredible knowledge, and for showing us Kenya through your eyes. You made this adventure something we’ll never forget.
Some trips are wonderful while you’re there. Others stay with you long after you’ve returned home.
This was definitely one of those. ❤️🇰🇪

All was good
We were picked up in the airport and had all way through to Ol Tukai Lodge in Amboselli park.
Our guide Timoti was amazing, kind and he took care of us.
We stayed in Ol Tukai Lodge for 3 days and had total 6 games.
After Timoti drove us to Mombasa, some beach holiday.
Highly recommend company and Timoti.

excellent service, a professional team, and a very enjoyable safari experience
We had a very good experience with Loushir African Safaris. Everything was well organised, from the airport pick-up to the safari trips. Our driver was always punctual, professional, and supportive, making sure all our needs were accommodated.
The car was clean and comfortable, and the driving was safe and smooth. He was also a great guide, knew where to find the animals, and was particularly attentive to our children.
One moment that really stood out was when he turned back into the park at sunset, after our safari had officially finished, just to give us the chance to see a cheetah he had heard about over the radio.
Overall, excellent service, a professional team, and a very enjoyable safari experience!

Despite being a small and relatively new operator we were satisfied with their service.
We booked this trip for two ladies with their three kids. Obviously slightly hesitant due to very few reviews and a brand new SM presence we were relieved to see that Jack delivered on his promise. The vehicle provided was in good shape, and the guide he booked was excellent.
We can warmly recommend them to other tourists.

Amazing safari experience
We initially started researching the tour we wanted a few months before our scheduled trip in March. We had other commitments in Mombasa and were travelling with our children and parents so wanted to stay within Mombasa. We chose 5-Day Unique Luxurious Kenyan Coast Tour which featured Day 1 Tsavo East National Park- Day 2&3 at Amboseli National Park, Day 4 Tsavo West National Park and then returning to Mombasa airport on the 5th Day.
Jack from Loushir African Safaris was very communicative and also assisted in some modifications to the accommodation that I wanted. Jack was able to meet all my requests. The tour started off from our hotel and we met the staff from Loushir African Safaris which was appreciated. Our tour guide John was fantastic and part of the success of the tour was becuase of him. He was friendly and respectful and very knowledgeable about the safari and the animals. He was also a very skilled driver which is really needed in this part of the world!
We did encounter an issue with the tour hence the slighly less score. The original package put together by Loushir African Safaris listed the journey time between day 1 and day 2 and driving to Amboseli National Park as being three hours; however, it was actually an 8 hour drive, followed by an additional 6 hour drive back to Tsavo West National Park. This would have made it impossible to have the scheduled number of game drives. The children and my elderly parents were in no position to sit in an unconditioned car on the highway for 8 hours.
When our tour guide John informed of the timings we showed him what we had agreed to as part of the tour and we refused to go to Amboseli National Park. Rearranging the tour became a little stressful and somewhat ruined my experience. Initially Loushir African Safaris explained the constraints and financial pressure they were under to amend the tour and urged us to continue to Amboseli. However, in the end they did agree that it was an oversight on their part and did the honorable thing by amending the tour so we had two days at Tsavo East National Park and two days at Tsavo West National Park.
I hope that Loushir African Safaris learn from this experience and review the importance of diligently checking tour timings and reporting these factually to potential customers. It later transpired that the people organising the logistics of the tour had not consulted with the tour guides who would have spotted this error earlier on. This is not good planning and needs to be improved.
Despite the issue we had, I was very happy that we were able to resolve the situation and so Loushir African Safaris should be given credit for this. The tour was otherwise reasonably priced and was good value for money. I would happily recommend Loushir African Safaris to others and strongly urge anyone considering a tour to ask for John as a tour guide. He is an amazing person!
The safari itself was an amazing experience. We had realistic expectations, anticipating that some drives would be less eventful than others but overall, we were lucky to see a lot of wildlife. The landscape in East Tsavo area was mostly flat, arid landscape characterised by vast savannah plains, thorny bushland, and arid acacia scrub. The flat landscape was ideal for elephants giraffes. West Tsavo was similar but the landscape was a little more varied, featuring some mountainous terrain and with slightly more greenery
We stayed at a lodge - Ashnil Aruba Lodge in Tsavo East and then at Taita Hills Safari Resort & Spa in Tsavo West- both which I would recommend. There are other options for lodges in the area some are more basic but we did opt for slightly more comfortable accommodation.
A family safari is an amazing experience and I would love to do it again!

Fantastic communication, quality of vehicle and guide, plus great accommodation
I recently completed a 3 day safari tour with Loushir from Mombasa. Throughout the booking process, communication was excellent . I managed to secure the exact trip I was looking for for a great price. the accommodation and quality of food exceeded my expectations. I saw all the animals i was hoping to see and more, cheetahs, leopards, lions, zebras, elephants, giraffes - numerous birds, monkeys and antelopes etc . It was an amazing experience that I will never forget. The payment process was easy and secure. I took the 3 day tour to Tsavo East, staying at Ashnil Aruba Lodge and Salt Lick. The vehicle and driver were great - he spotted so many animals that I would have missed. I would highly recommend Loushir and this tour . I would not hesitate to book a trip with Loushir again

Fantastic experience with enthusiastic professionals.
My family had a fantastic experience with Loushir African Safaris, with Jack as our coordinator and Charles as our safari guide.
Prompt and clear communication, prices were reasonable and not a single hiccup or misunderstanding during our tour of the Masai mara.
Charles was a knowledgeable, patient, and flexible guide - we had a lot of fun! Each of our lodging options was fantastic and all were located in great spots.
We definitely recommend Loushir African Safaris for your safari.
Thank you!
