The BEST!
You know it's difficult to send money to a company half way across the world and hope you are picking the right one. Well, we were NOT disappointed. From our initial pick-up at the airport late Thursday night, to the full day of touring we spent the first day in Nairobi, on to the 6 day safari through Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli, we were blessed to have found Savannah Sound Safaris. Our guide Sammy was the BEST. He was a brilliant guide, who found us all of the Big Five the first day of our safari. He navigated the horrid roads brilliantly, taking care to make the ride as easy as he could. His knowledge of the animals, and life in Kenya was outstanding. When he was unable to stay with us our last 2 days in Nairobi we were provided with another driver Steve and he was also a wonderful person to have around (though we missed Sammy). Danson, the owner came to our hotel the first day we were there to meet with us and to make sure all our plans were set and to let us know he was there if we needed anything. I really don't think we could have asked for a better company. As a mother and daughter traveling alone we felt safe and protected the whole time we were there. WE LOVE SAMMY! We even begged Sammy to come to South Africa with us for the last leg of our journey.

Danson was calm, helpful, and informative on Kenya, from wild life to politics, & got us places!
Danson was very flexible to help us plan changes to our itinerary, very patient waiting for us for uncertain times, and getting us back after as quickly as possible. A welcome, very safe driver. Always happy to chat and share what he knoew -I'd definitely contact him again if ever returning to Kenya.

Helpful, trustworthy and reliable operator
My wife and I had a very good time in Kenya with Savannah Sound Safari and our guide, Julius. Julius was very experienced safari tour guide and always made us felt like we are in good hands. He was punctual, helpful and friendly for all matters. Even when we wanted to do an impromptu campfire and bbq at Lake Naivaisha for the fun of it, he helped us purchase firewood and some corn. When it came to safari game drives, he always tried his best to make sure we get to see the major attractions.
Danson (the lead guide of Savannah Sound Safari) was also very proactive in ensuring that we have a good time, always getting our feedback and checking out our accommodations beforehand. The only issue we had was with the email communication in the run-up to our trip during the peak season, as they get quite busy and sometimes were not able to reply emails promptly. This gave us some worries initially but there was no need to worry in the end.
All in all, my wife and I had an amazing time in Kenya, a beautiful country with wonderful people and breathtaking sights and animals. And it is largely down to the hospitality of Danson, Julius and their team at Savannah Sound Safaris.

Danson was really friendly, kind and helpful - nothing was too much trouble.
The safari was wonderful! We saw so many amazing animals due to the knowledge of our great driver. The vehicles were all comfortable and we had great vantage views due to the experience of Danson knowing exactly where to be.
I would recommend Savannah Sound Safaris to anyway visiting Kenya as I know they would be treated with care and receive excellent service and attention to detail.

Amazing service. Couldn't be better!
We were in Kenya for 10 days and Savannah sound safaris were responsible for our transport. The staff were amazing-especially Danson! They were punctual, friendly, knowledgeable and the safari at the end was brilliant- seeing everything we could wish for. Would definitely use them again and would recommend them to anyone.

Friendly and efficient - adaptable and helpful.
I recently led a group of teachers from the UK as they made visits to their link schools in the Embu region. I used SSS for booking accommodation in Nairobi, Embu and Nairobi again. They provided all the transport to the various schools and for the down time which included a safari in the Nairobi National Park, a trip to an elephant orphanage and to a giraffe centre as well as a bead factory. Danson was great with organising what was quite a complex programme. He was also one of our drivers along with Julius and Nicolas. All three looked after us really well. I highly recommend the company for its efficiency and helpfulness. I will definitely continue to use Savannah Sounds Safari.

Amazing Kenya with great guide!
It was really amazing trip!
Our guide, Danson, arranged a great trip for us. This trip has made me happy.
I become fond of Kenya.
Especially the experience of riding a balloon was so exciting for me. I could see very beautiful landscape from sky.
My husband promised me forever love on the balloon.
I will never forget that.
Danson is always very kind for us.
Since he speaks Japanese, I felt safety and enjoyed.
He made and presented us misanga, which is a lucky bracelet knitted by strings. I was very happy about his feelings.
He sometimes taught me Swahili. Thus, I get interested in Swahili.
I strongly recommend Savannah Sound Safaris, when you go Kenya. I want to go Kenya again.
Thank you for the great trip, Savannah Sound Safaris. Thank you for everything, Danson.

I had been surprised that Danson took me great spots where I can see cute lion babies, cool lions, beautiful cheetah, breathtaking landscape and so on.
I had never imagined that there is such a beautiful place in the world.
Danson arranged our trip to really wonderful.
He must be a master of animals of Kenya.
In addition, he kindly and politely guided us in Japanese.
So, there is nothing to worry about anything.
I would like to go Kenya again soon.
Thank you for everything, Danson and Savannah Sound Safaris.
