An amazing safari!
We had a very good week on the safari.
We contacted Kenya walking Sunday and Thursday morning we started the safari
Mr.Otieno was very quick to answer the emails even on Sunday's. We also changed the trip a bit so it fit to what we wanted to see. Even in the middle off the trip we wanted to go to a different place, we just call mr Otieno and changed it. It was so flexible, we have never experienced that before.
The cook made nice food and the driver did everything he could so we could have the best experience with the animals. The only thing was that we had to ask him about the animals, he didn't just tell about them himself.

It was a very good experience, I very much enjoyed the services provided.
Communication and services were very good. Timely pick-ups, drivers really consider the needs of the tourists along the way, the place we stayed at was clean and the food was good. The safari trips were very enjoyable.

Excellent experience!
I honestly cannot say enough good things about KWSS. The organisation of my safairi's was exceptional, communication was always timely and appropriate and nothing was too much trouble for OT to sort out very quickly and professionally - including last minute changes to the itinerary (cause by me!).
KWSS played a large part in making my trip to east Africa the trip of a lifetime. Don't hesitate to use them if your planning a trip.

great experience with a great and knowledgeable guide as well as a superb cook
The service was great. Both the cook and the guide were extremely helpful and eager to show us more of their country. It was a great experience that exceeded my expectations.

Good Value, Amazing Sights, Great Experience
It was easy to set up a tour via email, and we were able to pay on arrival, which was also convenient. My friend and I booked a group package but essentially had a private tour. There were several other companies on the same route, and I was pleased that we chose a more affordable company, as we received essentially the same services at a lower cost.
We were a little frustrated about having to pay extra for the giraffe center (we paid almost $100 each for admission, lunch, and a driver), but the experience was incredible, despite us being substantially over-charged.
The guides were friendly and knowledgeable, and if you have the opportunity to ask for John for the walking-tour, I'd highly recommend it.
All in all, it was a wonderful experience that I would repeat in a heartbeat.
wonderful wildlife - quite an adventure
The safari experience was great - wonderful, incredible wildlife - 2 day Masai Mara trip (overnight camp) and half day in Nairobi National Park - saw everything we wanted to see. Peter, our driver, looked after us well and he was very skilled at both driving off road and in finding the wildlife. Minor quibble, but water and T shirt was not provided despite being specified - check with owner, Mr Otieno, very carefully what is included and not included in the price.

Great Guides, well organized and fun!
For a low budget safari, it was great! The cook and the guides that we had a great attitude and were very knowledgeable. Even without all of the extras (balloon, boat ride), it was well worth it. Food was excellent and the accommodation wasn't bad at all. I would totally come back and go on safari again with these guys!

EVERYTHING WE ASKED FOR
We booked a 4 day safari and had an amazing time. Mohammed the driver and Jacob the cook were very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. The accommodations were comfortable and the sights were amazing. The roads were a bit bumpy at times, but we were out in the middle of no-where so ...
Anyway, if you want a good safari experience, I would recommend Kenya Walking Survivors.

Great experience and excellent customer service
Kenya Walking Survivors Safaris organized a safari tour and a Kilimanjaro trek for us, inclusive of all the transfers between the 2 places We were really happy with the experience. The customer service was great! Mr. Otieno was very responsive at all times, night or day. The company is also very flexible and cares for the customers needs. The accommodation and food provided was up to our expectations too! I strongly recommend this tour operator!
