Professional and very kind to support our travel
5/5

We travel one big family from Bulgaria 8 adults and 4 kids ( 6,7,9,10 years) and I was lucky to get in contact with Silas from Safari Updates Travel.
Silas offered us a great package to enjoy Maasai Mara ( travelling by local flights with 748), staying at Mara Serena lodge and then return flight to Malindi beaches.
Everything was perfect for us. All the transfers on time, upon arrival there were a contract local person welcoming us.
Once I met Silas at the beginning, all my worries gone. Nice and charming man, ready to support us at every step during our two weeks experience in Kenya

Incredible Experience!
5/5

I booked my safari with Safari Update Travels because of their authenticity. Linsel was very prompt in his communication and helped us plan the entire safari. I had an amazing experience with my family exploring the Mara where we were fortunate enough to see hundreds of wildebeests migrating across the Mara River which was the highlight of the safari. We also saw most of the big five animals which included lions, buffaloes, herd of elephants and a leopard. We stayed at Ashnil Camp, the staff there were very kind and caring. They always made sure we were comfortable. They also had amazing meals and the camps were very clean. Our guide Simon was very professional and knowledgeable, he made sure we spotted most of the animals. Unfortunately we did not see the rhinoceros even after our guide drove for several hours to most of the places where this rare animal is found. We visited a Masai village towards the end of our safari, the experience was amazing. I would recommend beginning the tour in the early morning to enjoy the game drive and see most of the animals. Thank you Safari Update Travels for the incredible experience.

Silas was very prompt in his communication throughout the booking and also during the trip itself.
5/5

Silas was very prompt in his communication during booking and throughout the trip itself. We were picked up and dropped off to the hotel after the trip with no issues whatsoever. Our tour guide was Mr James and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide. We got to see all the Big Five except the Rhino in ONE DAY. I would recommend this to anyone at least once in their lifetime.

Perfect safari with best rates
5/5

It was our first time visiting Africa and Kenya to be specific. We opted for Safari Update Travels because of the great reviews and experience in the tourism industry. We communicated via email with Silas who helped us come up with the perfect itinerary for our 5 day safari. I was very confident from our conversation that he'll deliver the perfect safari and it did not come as a surprise when he did. When we arrived at the airport Silas was on time and present to pick us up. We immediately embarked on our safari to the Mara. Upon arriving we were taken to Sopa Lodge where we would spend our night. George our guide was the best thing we could ask for. We went for the afternoon game drive where we spotted several animals including a pride of lions and zebras. We went back to our hotel to have dinner. The food there was amazing prepared by the best chefs. The staff at the hotel were also very warm and kind making sure we were having a good time. During the safari George explained everything to us in details and located the animals before anyone else, he is an expert in knowing where to look. He has been a guide for the past two decades and is well known around the park. The cruiser we used was perfect, very comfortable and spacious. The camp we stayed in was incredible. It is in a serene environment surrounded by plenty of nature. The beds are clean and comfortable, with utmost level of hygiene. In short, we had the best safari thanks to Safari Update Travels with the best rates. The very best in the game.

Beautiful 3 day Masai Mara experience
5/5

We had a really great experience in Masai Mara. We really enjoyed the game drives and Peter was an excellent driver and guide. Thanks to him, we got to see even a black rhino which are very rare to see. He was very friendly and he has a lot of knowledge so he was able to answer all the questions that we had. And regarding the accomodation, it was amazing. Very clean and the people there were really friendly and helpful. If I came back to Kenia (probably I will) I would like to repeat the Safari with Silas (and with the driver Peter if possible). Thanks a lot for such an enriching and wonderful experience!

100% Perfect!
5/5

From the start (first contact) until the last moment it was perfect. Silas did even more than expected. I’m a single traveler and have been on many safari’s in Kenya and this one was more than expected. I told him what i was looking for and he was great in thinking together with me to achieve all my goals. Peter(Sumare) the driver was the best driver and already knew what i was looking for and it was a adventure to go on safari with him. Great compliment to the whole team! So for next time I don’t have to look al over the internet again cause I’ll go straight to SafatiUpdateTravels !

Wonderful safari to Masai Mara!
5/5

This safari was one to remember. I made arrangements to visit Masai Mara during my vacation and Safari Update Travels made it possible. I arrived in the Mara in the afternoon hours and then set out straight for the afternoon drive. It was quite refreshing. The camp I stayed at was very accomodating and cosy, to top it up it had bonfires to keep us warm in the cold nights, great food and hot water. I also visited the local Masai village which was nearby so I was able to interact with many members of the community. The best part of the trip by far was our tour guide John. Besides being witty and having a deep sense of humour John is one of the kindest people I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. He went beyond his means to take care of us, and make our trip memorable. Will definitely be back for another tour with Safari Update Travels in the future.
