6 day/5 night Safari - 4 parks - with children
We had a great trip with KET, we covered a lot of group and did Samburu, Abedere, Lake Nakuru and the Masai Mara with three children aged 6, 8 and 10, they loved it. In an ideal world we would have taken more time as it was a lot of time in the car, but we didn't have more time and on balance we are pleased we saw so much with each park having such different landscapes and animals. Our Guide/driver was great, very knowledgeable and fun and patient with the children. All the places we stayed were lovely and generally exceeded our expectations. The only slight gripe with that the car, an old land cruiser, was pretty old and some more suspension was wished for at times, plus there weren't seat belts in the back for all of us so we weren't totally happy about that, but it didn't break down and the viewing hatch worked well, so it did the job. I was a bit uneasy as I only found these people on trip advisor and I transferred all the money out in advance, but they were great and it was nice to think that they are a Kenyan company and hopefully all our money is staying in Kenya and not going to some international operator.

Kenya Safari
Kenya Expresso Tours and Safaris made our trip to Kenya very memorable. We were able to experience three different areas of Kenya, which held different wildlife and a range of animals. Francis our tour guie was amazing. He made sure we were safe and having a good time. He was full of information during the tour and he made our safari really special. I would recommend Francis and Kenya Expresson Tours and Safaris to everyone!

Private tour - Nairobi to Mombasa
Booked a last minute tour for my husband and I with KET the week before Christmas 2012. Paul was brief but responsive through the booking and planning phase. Our guide Richard was fantastic. Very engaged, always smiling, and he tried very hard to find us big game. For the cost we paid, the accommodations and food were an amazing deal - much more luxurious than expected. We would book with them again in a heartbeat - and of course we would ask for Richard again!

Great 6-day safari from Mombasa to Kenya
We covered Tsavo E., Amboseli, Nakuru, and Masai Mara. Our driver was very knowledgeable and able to spot animals so we saw just about everything. The price was fair and they were responsive to our calls and emails.

Fantastic Safari
We had never used KET Safaris before but we need not have worried Paul was true to his word a real Gentleman we had the most wonderful Safari think this was the best we have had we travelled to Samburu Ashnil Mara, Aberdares The Ark,Lake Nakuru Lake Nakuru Lodge,Maasi Mara Ashnil Mara and what a fantastic time we saw loads of animals all the Big Five and to see them in their own habitat is mind blowing
The highlight of our Safari was the Migration saw the wilderbeest crossing the Mara river Kenya -Tanzania which was a WOW WOW WOW seen this many times on the television but to actually be there for real to see it is awesome we saw we estimate about 4000 cross all in 6 mins it was fantastic we are now going back in 20 months time to see them coming the other way Tanzania-Kenya
A big thank you to Paul of KET Safaris also to Francis our driver

Great safari, very knowledgeable guide/driver and the kids loved it
Organizing the trip was very easy and answers came back very quickly. A small hiccup was tented camp vs. lodge but in the end I could accept that. The driver/guide was more than excellent, safe driver and knew the answer to almost every question we threw at him, Stephen was just great.
We had 3 kids 18, 11 and 7 which limited the number of days we could thought we could spend so we decided for the 4 day safari which actually could have been 5 days with an extra day in Masai Mara.
I would for sure recommend KETS to any of my friends but make sure all lodging alternatives are clearly sorted out to avoid surprises.

3 Day Masai Mara Private Tour
We had an excellent time on our private tour of the Masai Mara with Ket Safaris. To start with, the communication before our arrival was incredibly thorough and timely so we felt we were going to be looked after even before our arrival in Kenya. From our pick-up on Day 1 to our drop-off on Day 3 everything went seamlessly. Couldn't have been happier with the experience and service provided.

wonderful experience!!!
The decision to rely on Kenya Expresso Tours And Safaris (Ket Safaris) was the best we could do!
We are lovers of nature and photography and by the time we were curious to see the great natural spectacle that is the wildebeest migration in the Masai Mara park (crossing the river of the same name).
After careful research on the internet about the program that we wanted to do, we sent multiple requests for quote .: Ket Safaris offering excellent lodges (all parks and stations: 2 nights Lake Nakuru Lodge, Sarova Mara Lodge 1 night, 3 nights Ashnil Mara Camp), Land Cruiser sunroof with private driver exclusively for us (we met vans packed with people!) and the best price (all inclusive).
Certified agency in Kenya, Paul (owner of the agency) and 'immediately proved to be very helpful and answered our questions (and doubts) within a few hours. Posted advance, we made the balance directly to our arrival at the airport where (arrived at 4 am!) We met Paul, and together, the one who will be our guardian angel: Francis, the best guide we could hope to meet.
Always friendly, smiling, in order, available in our every request and requirement, Francis has great experience, he knows every path of the parks and (importantly) the best stalking. Nicknamed by his colleagues "who found the animals" and in continuous contact with Mr Jackson and Pascal (also excellent guides Ket Safaris), with intuition and patience, we are back in ambush after everyone had left and we were able to assist in two stages, crossing the Mara is a huge herd of wildebeest .. in two phases because interrupted by the attack of a lioness in the first and not 'failed (the baby wildebeest and' saved by the intervention of the mother), while the second has attacked and killed a wildebeest adult. The scene is set and 'turning a few meters and I guarantee that, in such a context, the unfolding of Nature has not horrified ns. sensitivity ': kill to live and to continue the species (shortly after and' came another lioness that clearly showed signs of lactation). In addition to this we have seen a short distance herds of lions, buffaloes, zebras, gazelles of each species, hippos, crocodiles, elephants, rhinoceros, leopard (anche'esso hunting but failed), the cheetah with 4 wonderful puppies.
All this thanks, again, to stalking intelligent and patient during which the dear Francis never showed impatience or fatigue ... ..Anzi in the most 'heavy always has a ready smile, a good joke, a contagious laugh.
At the end of the journey Paul, the owner of the agency, greeted us wondering how it had come and offered us a wonderful dinner in a good restaurant in Mombasa!
Continue to describe what we saw would take too long but I hope I have conveyed a little of the enthusiasm with which we returned.
It 's not the first safari we do (always arranged by us, we visited South Africa, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Botswana ... .adesso and' added the Western Kenya Safaris and thanks to Ket., Paul, Francis and indirectly in Jackson, Pascal and 'was a unique experience that has allowed us to "unplug" from our wonderfully daily routine and come back with so many beautiful images in the heart and the mind.
