Wonderful Company
This company is marvellous. All my initial dealing were done through e-mail. The person I dealt with was Jane, she was very efficient and answered all my question thoroughly and quickly, nothing was too much trouble.
The safari we had was in August for 18 days to Kenya and was just for 2 of us. It was a marvellous experience, everything went smoothly without any hitches. The tour was great, made all the more special by out drive Jeff who was great fun to be with and easy to have a laugh with. Jeff was a excellent driver and made sure everything went smoothly.
The accommodation was of the highest quality, good rooms, excellent food and great views.
The Highlight of the Safari was seeing African Wild Dogs in Samburu National Reserve.
I would thoroughly recommend Kenan Travel and Tours for any future trip to Kenya.

Flexible, Budget Friendly, VIP Services, Great Accommodations and FUN
We went with group of 3 for 10 days, 9 nights for both Kenya and Tanzania with customized itinerary base on our interest with the good price.
Everyday is very enjoyable and excited even it is the same route. Driver/Guide have very good eye-sight and know wild animals behavior in each area and this led us to see variety of action and nice scene everyday. Not just only see wild animals but he also give us some information about character or species of animal.

Budget Friendly, Superior Service, Great Accommodations, Customized Itinerary
We recently went on a 6Day / 5Night safari with Kenan Travels and couldn't be more happier with the experience. From the time of planning to managing all the bookings, it was a seamless experience. Geophrey was very responsive and attentive to all our concerns, especially with the multiple changes and additions we requested to the itinerary. The whole experience was customized to our group which made it even better. In Masai Mara and Mara North conservancy we saw a lot of animals. Since it was mating season, we saw lions roaming in pairs, young cubs, cheetah, hippos in the Mara river, hyenas, wildebeest, zebra, giraffe, baboons and even warthogs. Our driver and guide, Anthony was very knowledgeable and we enjoyed all the game drives.
We did boat ride in Lake Naivasha and saw a lot of birds. In Lake Nakuru, we saw black rhinos, rare white rhinos, pink flamingos (although they were sparse). In Amboseli, we stayed in Kibo Safari camp, and this was our most favorite lodge/camp of the trip. Overlooking Mt. Kilimanjaro, it was a great spot to watch the sunset in the evenings. In Amboseli, we saw big herds of elephants, more lions (some hunting too!!). Amboseli is a bit dry compared to Masai Mara which was lush and green so plenty of game. The weather was wonderful and comfortable and cool in the mornings. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience thanks to Geophrey, Jane and Anthony.

High quality and supportive staff
Geophery worked with us to schedule and customize our safari to Amboseli and Tsavo West, customizing it to end at Mtito Andei train station so we could continue on to Mombasa at the conclusion of the tour. Julius, our driver, was sharp eyed and helpful. We had a little cabin in Amboseli and a nice room at Tuskers Lodge in Tsavo West. kenan Tours is about the best bang for the buck in Kenya...

A trip of a life time with Kenan Tours
I have been on over 10 safaris in many different countries in Africa, and our recent safari with Kenan Tours was by far the most magnificent one yet!! Jane is an outstanding communicator, and she was brilliant in helping us organize a trip that met the unique needs and interests of our big group of 10 family members. Jane was incredibly responsive and responsible and always a true joy to work with! And once we arrived in Kenya the real adventure began...our drivers and guides, Simon and Geoff, were wonderful, witty, and wise, and gave us an extraordinary game viewing experience! They were amazing with our children, always flexible and accommodating, and taught us so many fascinating facts about the animals. The lodges that we stayed in were gorgeous and such a good deal for the price. And the food and service we enjoyed through the trip were fantastic. Kenan Tours is an excellent company and they gave us the safari of a life time! Thank you Jane, Simone, and Geoff!!

An adventure we'd never forget!
Geophrey and Jeff organized a great trip for us. We went to Masai Mara for 3 days private safari and really enjoyed the time spent there.
Our driver (Jeff) was very experienced and knowing and gave us a lot of information about the animals. He was also very good at spotting them in the grass.
We even had our "celebrity moment" where we watched a male lion on the road together with the Nat Geo Wild team that were live-streaming.
Although 3 days safari-ing was not enough for us, we managed to see a lot of animals in their natural habitat. From the big 5, we managed to see everything but a Rino - they are indeed rare. We witnessed two hunts of two different leopards which were an amazing emotion.
We saw lions with their cubs and due to the fact that most of the animals are mating in January, we managed to see a lot of babies :) (giraffes, elephants, cubs... ).
Me and my girlfriend didn't want to leave!
If we go again to Kenya, we'd for sure contact Geophrey and Jeff to organize another safari for us.

Attention to every detail from pickup to drop off.
First time in Nairobi and Masai Mara for 3 day trip and turned out to be the best experience of lifetime. Geophrey from Kenan travels organized a great trip and was in constant communication with all updates. Picked an excellent safari camp in Mara eden safari camp and the best Masai guide anyone can wish for in Moses. Would definitely recommend Kenan to others for a true African experience and use them again in my future adventures. Thanks Geophrey.
superb service
We did a Rwanda and Uganda private safari. Jane was prompt in her responses and she gives an answer and explanation to whatever questions that we may have. Price is a lot cheaper than hat you would have from the big tour companies. Itinerary was customizable and flexible. Moses the driver/guide was knowledgeable and attentive to out needs. Would definitely recommend!

definitely exceeding my expectations,
I took Kenan travel because of their good rating 5/5 pretty much everywhere and I was not disappointed at all. Thank you to Jane who was kind and helpful with us with these many many communications prior to our African safari. Our 12 day tour went very well with our guides , Moses in Kenya and Joseph in Tanzania , None of our question were left unanswered . We saw everything , from Lion , Leopard , Rhino , Elephant , Buffalo , Wildebeest river crossing , Hot water bucket shower and all the funny stuff on Safari. Masai Mara & Serengeti are truly a paradise for wildlife . Everything was great , I would recomended Kenan Travel for a safari anytime , I already did to some of my friends planning a safari. Thanks again to Jane,Moses & Joseph .
