Very knowledgeable and friendly
Denhum Holidays made my Maasai Mara tour one to remember forever!
First, the guide was very knowledgeable about the national park, the animals and the routes. He answered all the questions that we asked satisfactorily. Secondly, the value for money. The 3 days package was a bargain. The itinerary was well planned and executed. We managed to see all the animals we were hoping to see making it a wonderful safari for us.
The experience, care and professionalism of the guides and the company staff made us more than friends. Their services exceeded our expectations.
Thank you Denhum for making our safari tour a memorable one.
I recommend Denhum Holidays any time

Great option for Kenya Safari
From beginning to end, Dan at Denhum Holidays was a very integral part of the process in ensuring that my questions were answered. Having access to him via whatsapp was key. He gave assurances that everything would go accordingly, and even when it didn’t seem or feel like things would work out, they did. Dan understood that I was planning a surprise and did everything possible to help me execute.
Musa (our driver/guide) was spot on. Right from picking us up at the airport he was attentive and a wealth of knowledge throughout. He was engaging, but also recognized the times that we were tired and gave us time to rest. It seemed like he knew everyone wherever we went and was always able to point us in the right direction. He was truly a great resource to have on hand. One of my favourite interactions on our trip was when he called ahead to set up a traditional Kenyan meal that we ate together, sans cutlery in true Kenyan fashion. Musa was the man.
I had high expectations for planning a trip that was so far from home, and after considering other safari companies I’m ultimately very glad that I decided to go with Denhum. I would recommend that anyone interested in doing a safari to get in touch with this team and allow them to help you plan it all out. The value was unparalleled; I never once felt like we were getting a budget version of a safari. Thanks again to Dan/Musa and the rest of the Denhum team.

The Best
Communication with Felix at Denhum holidays was excellent and almost instantaneous. He managed to arrange a safari to fit our budget and it turned out to be even better than we expected. We were met at the airport by our driver/guide Joseph who went out of his way to make it a perfect trip. We saw all the big 5 and got up really close to lions, leopards and cheetahs and even visited a Massai village. If we ever get another chance to take a safari I wouldn't hesitate to use this company again.

Unbelievable Experience
We were SO thrilled with our entire experience with Denham Holidays and our 7 day safari in Kenya. We wanted to choose an eco-tourism friendly company and were happy with the communication from the beginning. We gave them an idea of what we wanted and they planned every detail. All transportation, accommodation, and meals were included. The lodges were fantastic and food was great. Honestly I can't think of a single bad thing to say. The price for what we got/did was perfect and I haven't stopped recommending a safari holiday with Denham to my friends and family (and strangers) since we returned. I must say that our guide Musa is what really made our experience special and unique. He is a seasoned guide who is passionate about safaris. We enjoyed getting to know him and felt lucky that everywhere we went, other guides knew and looked up to him.

Incredible experience
Genuinely satisfied with my safari experience with Denhum Holidays. Our guide, Musa, was the best addition to our trip. He helped us make incredible memories and he will forever be apart of our experience. I traveled with 2 other females, all in our 30’s. We enjoyed our days in the car with Musa, as well as all the Sopa lodges we stayed in. Thank you, Musa, for going above and beyond in every aspect. Your kindness, thoughtfulness and overall love for the animals and what you do will never be forgotten.
Prior to the trip the communication was great. We asked a lot of questions and they were each thoughtfully answered.

Absolutely amazing holiday with the best guide in Kenya! Couldn’t ask for more.
Communication prior was great. We had a severe food allergy in our group and at every lodge it was addressed appropriately and kindly. Our tour guide Musa was the absolute best. 16 years of experience and very clearly a well-known leader among the other guides. He struck the perfect balance between giving us the best possible experience and respecting the animals and the earth. The lodges were all incredible and were an unbelievable value. The food at each lodge was also amazing. Some of the beds weren’t great but that’s expected when traveling. We thought an 8 day safari might be a little too much but by the end we were very sad we couldn’t do more. Again, can’t say enough good things about Musa, I’m not sure I can ever do a safari without him! He is an absolute gem and gave us the most unforgettable experience.
Only recommendation for improvement is to not do the Maasai village tour. It was very uncomfortable and we felt preyed upon. We were separated and they basically demanded quite a bit of money. Would much rather support through responsible travel and buying things as we go.
Will absolutely use Denhum Holidays in the future and highly recommend to family and friends.

Great trip in a great country
Email communcations before the trip were vey good, the driver (Musa) was extremely kind and professional.
A pity that we couldn't stay at the expected hotel the day of our arrival (after a long trip) due to some reservations problems.
Flexibility of Denhum holidays was good as well.
Sopa hotels were a 10!

Fantastic
We had a wonderfull time as a familly during our 7 days safari in Kenya. Thank you to Maxwell our guide who was an expert at driving us through Masai Mara, Naivasha, Nakuru and Amboseli and spotting an extraordinary number of wild animals. An unforgetable experience!

Return by family to where they grew up and went to school-- Kenya and Tanzania
Denham Holidays was picked from about five other safari companies to supply a safari of remembrances for our family of 6 for TZ. and for 8 in Kenya. The initial inquiry was responded to in a 1 day time frame, which was miraculous, usually taking 4-10 days to do so. Everything we requested as far as the kind of lodging, places to go and the animals we saw would rate 5*. The Tanzania part of our trip, which was 6 days, was beyond excellent. The driver was very personal, interacting very good with the family, all of whom were fluent in Swahili. It was a fun and rewarding time of re-visiting places in Tanzania that we knew so well.
The Kenya part of the safari, which was 7 days, was very rewarding in terms of animals seen and lodging. Samburu, always our family favorite, lived up to, and actually exceeded our remembrances of past visits. This was given 4 stars because there was a problem with the vehicle, which was remedied after our 2 days in Amboseli, and miscommunications between the transport company and Denhum Holidays. These were corrected, and we arrived at Nairobi in plenty of time to depart at midnight for our return to the U.S.A. Would I recommend Denhum Holidays? I already have, and the family has contacted Ian Njoroge, and he has replied as they look forward to visiting the same 2 countries in the near future.

Five star experience
Our safari experience was exceptional right from the start. Our guide (James) was informative and helpful, and went out of his way to share his beautiful country with us. I would highly recommend Denhum Safari holidays.
