Very professional! Immediate responses to any queries. Excellent tour guide and tour team
As soon as I contacted Grayton Tours they always kept me proactively informed about the procedures to be followed. The hike was a truly fantastic experience. Jimmy, the tour guide, is a highly experienced mountaineer. Full of knowledge about the national park and the Mount Kenya in particular. He really looked after me, making sure that I am safe. It's a challenging hike, undoubtedly. So, I appreciated the "pole pole" attitude of Jimmy and the other members of the team. They adapted to my pace, which helped me succeed. As I felt so safe with them I will definitely explore other hiking tours with them.

Very easy to communicate with.
Grayton was very accommodating to my requests. I had some troubles related to changing currency when I arrived in Kenya, but they were helpful in making sure it did not ruin my trip. My guide, Felix, was very helpful and friendly. I was on a private safari, so it was good to have someone very personable to ride with for 8 days. Most of the lodges were great to stay at.

Amboseli group tour not recommended
I booked a 3-day group joining tour to Amboseli in January 2023 with Grayton Expeditions and it was below expectations.
I was disappointed because :
1) although you pay for a 3 Days tour (340$) you end up with only 1 entrance to the Park (24h). The game drive for the last day ends at 8.45am as the 24h entrance expires;
2) Grayton Expeditions do not operate the tour themselves but subcontract to another company which leads to differences with the program you paid for. In my case, the tour ended up at 12:00 (not 15:00 as indicated in the program) and I was not dropped off to my hotel, but rather put in a Uber from the city center (not very safe).
I could share this feedback with Grayton which apologized for the inconvenience and was very reactive. However I cannot recommend this group tour to Amboseli with Grayton (better book a 2 days with another agency), but I think they are reliable if they operate the tour themselves as my communication was smooth with them.

Great experience!
I had an amazing time with Gibson on the Amboseli tour. He is very knowledgeable. I felt very safe and comfortable at all times. The camp we went to was beautiful. Communication with Sandra from the office was great. She always answered very quickly and everything went smoothly. I was also dropped at the border which I was very grateful for. Can highly recommend.

there were three days of safari in the program, we got one :(
Unfortunately, there is a lack of safari. Out of the promised three days - this was the program - we had one. The first day, instead of the morning, we left Nairobi in the afternoon and arrived at camp in the dark in the late evening, the group we were joined with was late. The second was a great safari in Amboseli Park, very fun. The third is a crazy rush to the Tanzanian border from 6⁰⁰ Am, with virtually no stops and a return to the capital, I felt treated like a shipment, We were arranging something else. I hope not all groups have this discomfort. Still, I recommend it. Patrick driver, a very nice guy.

Communicative and helpful throughout. I always felt in safe hands.
A wonderful trip of a lifetime. Would’ve given 5 stars but the late arrival into the park area on day 1 and early departure on day 3 makes me question if this should be called a 3 day safari, in truth it’s a one day safari. That said though, the experience was amazing, the camp was clean and welcoming and the process was smooth.

I wouldn’t hesitate to choose them again
The communication with them was very easy since the beginning: they answered all the questions I had at the time and they adapted the safari for what I was looking for. Our guide Aruni was amazing!!! He was very friendly and glad to explain us all the curiosisties we had about the animals, the park, the country, the culture… everything! Those days have been an incredible experience.
