Memorable
5/5

My wife and I had an amazing 8 days of Trip in Kenya, with Monkey Adventures. We booked my safari, covering Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Lake Naivasha & Amboseli National parks.
Mr. Nyani, the consultant we dealt with during our planning stage was very helpful and had answers to every question and concern we had regarding our Africa trip. He also assisted with booking our accommodation in Nairobi and arranged for transfers between my Hotel and airport.

Mr. Letaloi, our guide, was a very experienced safari guide & driver, and drove around the parks very safely. His wealth of knowledge, and networking skills with rangers and other guides helped us identify specific locations in national parks where we could find the animals we were looking for. He is also a very charming personality and we became good friends during our trip.


Monkey Adventures made our trip memorable by selecting excellent places to stay. Basecamp in Masai Mara was lovely and Oltukai Lodge in Amboseli had amazing views.

We would genuinely recommend their safaris, and we think they provide a great service at really good prices.


Cheers!

Very good
5/5

We did an 18 days safari in Kenya & Tanzania in Oct/Nov 2018 through Mojhi that was organised by Monkey Adventures.

This was my 7th safari in East Africa and one of the longest.

Our tour planning consultants at Mojhi were patient with my questions and always responded within a day to accommodate my frequently changing plans that went on for over 8 months!
We covered Samburu, Nakuru, Masai Mara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire, Amboseli national parks.

The safari with Monkey adventures in both Kenya & Tanzania were super fun, thanks to our guides Dickson in Kenya and Cosmas in Tanzania! About Dickson, I think he has over 15 years experience of guiding safaris and it shows in this knowledge of the parks and wildlife. He is also a very good driver and was very patient and accommodating. At Samburu, we spent over 2 hours near a pride of 3 lions waiting for them to hunt Zebras and Dicksons patience, manoeuvrability were amazing as he was trying to get us to positions that give us good view of the action while not disturbing lions or their prey. He appears to know everyone at every accommodation from security guards to managers and he also knew many rangers! When we got a little delayed at Masai Mara gate, he spoke to rangers and then with park warden to get us through.
I challenged him to show us dung beetles as we have not seen it in our previous safaris and he did manage to show us a dung beetle in action, just on the boundary of Masai mara.
After he dropped us at Isabenia, we asked to have Dickson again as our guide for Amboseli which we was scheduled after 7 days and Monkey adventures readily agreed.

Our Tanzania guide Mr. Cosmas is a Masai that worked at a camp in Serengeti for few years and knew Serengeti like the back of his hand. His friendly apparently refer to him as lord of Serengeti! He answered almost all our questions ranging from geological history of Serengeti/Ngorongoro to local cultural practices. He was very passionate about wildlife and with his good sense of humour, it was fun to do safaris with him.

All the accommodations we stayed at in Kenya/Tanzania were top notch. We spent a lot of time reviewing and shortlisting accommodations before our trip and I think it was well worth the effort.
