Person centred, personalised service, excellent communication and knowledge of the sector.
I found Ntanda Ventures online and saw they had some really positive reviews, particularly regarding fast responses, tailored packages and excellent knowledge. Kerry was immediately really quick to respond to my email and was keen to find out, what things I wanted to do, what was important to me and what I wanted to achieve from my experience. From there, I was introduced to Nerine, who put together with Kerry a wonderful package which was in our budget and took note of all of our preferences. Communication throughout has been wonderful, including ensuring that our paperwork for travel to Botswana from Zambia with my granddaughter was all in place, and that we understood what was needed. We had simply the most amazing time, stayed in some beautiful places, fed elephants, saw a pride of lions, visited the Falls and so much more! For anyone, wondering about dates to visit, we did the rainy season and had an amazing time, and because it was quieter got some private experiences due to the fact less people were staying! I honestly can't say highly enough how good the service has been in terms of ensuring we did everything that we had highlighted we wanted to and in a budget friendly way. Thank you so much!

Magical Kenya with Imara
We had an amazing safari trip to Kenya from London and couldn’t be happier with Imara. Whenever I had questions, Lewis was always prompt, clear, and transparent in his responses, which gave us a lot of confidence while planning the trip. We were travelling with our 2.5-year-old, and he was very accommodating with our requests for a car seat and a baby cot, which made a huge difference.
From the moment we arrived in Kenya right through to the airport drop-off, everything ran smoothly and exactly as planned. The hotels were lovely, and the one in the Maasai Mara was especially memorable, we could actually see animals like zebras and deer right from the hotel!
Our safari guide, Patrik, truly made the experience even more special. He was extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful, and went out of his way to help us spot all the animals we hoped to see.
Overall, it was a fantastic, once-in-a-lifetime trip, and we’re so glad we chose this company. The only small area for improvement might be the food, which could have been a little better at times — but that’s subjective and didn’t take away from the overall experience at all.
Highly recommended!

Exceptional Safari Experience with Beyond The Plains
We had an incredible safari through Samburu, Ol Pejeta, Lake Nakuru, and Naivasha. One of the main reasons we chose Beyond The Plains was the very fast communication from Julius during the planning process.
Our guide Bonnie was fantastic. He was very patient and had a great eye for spotting animals. Thanks to his skills, we managed to see all of the Big 5 during our trip.
While the cost is a little higher than some other operators, you definitely get a more premium service in return. We highly recommend them for anyone looking for a high quality experience in Kenya.

Amazing!
We did the 2 day 1 night safari in Mikumi and it was amazing.
First of all the booking team is great and will make sure to have the best possible journey thank you Pilly!
They took care of us all the way from the beginning pick up from the hotel to the SGR train to Mikumi and same for the back journey.
As for our guide Saloniki he was amazing and gave us a very memorable experience with so much knowledge about the animals. We saw them all in the 2 days and I told Saloniki how much I love lions the most and he did his best to find them and ended up seeing many which I’m so grateful for! He always ensured we are happy! Thank you Saloniki ❤️ he also ensured we have the most time to game drive and was so punctual!
As for the camp we stayed at camp lilac, the tented room is amazing and has everything you need in it I wish we spent more nights ! The staff was very nice as well.
Everything about this trip was just perfect, you would be missing out on an amazing experience if you don’t book with them ! I will be booking with them again for sure and recommending them, thank so much for this wonderful experience !

Saved Our Honeymoon with an Unforgettable Masai Mara Safari
After our original safari was cancelled just two days before departure, we were left devastated and scrambling during our honeymoon. Kipruto Safaris stepped in at the very last minute and completely saved the safari portion of our trip.
From the outset, Winston’s organisation and communication were outstanding. He was calm, efficient, and reassuring at a very stressful time. Everything was arranged quickly and seamlessly, despite the short notice.
Our guide, Kisotu, was absolutely phenomenal. His knowledge, experience, and passion for wildlife made every game drive special. The Masai Mara was a true highlight of our honeymoon. We saw an incredible number of animals, often in fascinating and dramatic scenarios, and Kisotu always seemed to be in exactly the right place at the right time.
The service, reliability, and value for money exceeded all expectations, especially given the circumstances. We are so grateful to Kipruto Safaris for turning what could have been a disaster into an unforgettable experience. We would recommend them without hesitation.

Greatest Service
The entire tour has been wonderful. From a printed itinerary to personalized service to great venues. Last our personal guide, was prompt, courteous, and knowledgeable. Our Victoria Falls tour was top notch. Followed by a lovely lunch location on the river and an exciting dinner at Bomas. We enjoyed a safe enjoyable helicopter ride and an Elephant experience. Great tour! Five ⭐️ Stars!

Adventure of a lifetime
We booked a 4 day safari trip as part pf our honeymoon in África. As this was our first time doing a safari we didnt know what was coming but our expectations were high. Thanks to Joseph, our guide, the trip went beyond those expectations. Everything was perfect, starting from itinerary, the lodges we stayed, the Food, and of course the wildlife sightings. Its amazing to see animals in their natural environment with so healthy populations. Joseph, who also is a really good driver, made sure we get to see everything, including all Africa's big 5! He was always ready to help us in everything we needed. Definitely will recomend him and his tour operator to our friends

Great service when booking and excellent driver guide
Dominic was extremely responsive to all of my many (many!) questions . We booked quite late and he was very flexible. Our driver/guide Chris was very experienced and a very good driver and guide. We did a trip from Nairobi to Amboseli and Tsavo West. Despite lots of rain for the first 2 days Chris did his absolute utmost to make up for this. We saw very large amounts of game. I would happily book through Kenyan again
