Well organized and professional
I booked 5 days with Kyooma Gorilla Safaris which included Mount Sabyinyo, one day Bwindi Gorilla tracking, batwa cultural, and Lake Butyunyi lake tour. The itinerary was what I inquired for and every trip flowed int the other with no issues. My guide Muttwezi Shever was instrumental in facilitating the activities, providing information as needed, and driving me everywhere. I always had water and snacks, and had the opportunity to taste obushera along the way. I recommend this business for Uganda hiking and gorilla tracking activities. Everything met expectations and there were no surprises (only pleasant ones).

More than a safari — a once-in-a-lifetime experience in the heart of the Masai Mara
An unforgettable experience in the Masai Mara!
The agency picked us up directly in Nairobi with a fantastic Land Cruiser Jeep, and after about 5 hours of driving we entered straight into the Masai Mara National Park, immediately starting our first game drive. The first impact was absolutely incredible — pure emotion from the very first moments, with breathtaking landscapes and wildlife.
The following day we had a full-day safari planned. We were supposed to leave at 5:30 a.m., but due to a small issue with a tire we were delayed a bit — things like this can happen and are part of the adventure.
What followed, however, was beyond words: amazement, excitement, and pure joy. We managed to see almost all of the Big Five, missing only the rhinoceros.
The guides are exceptional: they know exactly where to go and how to track the animals. You can clearly feel their experience and passion throughout the safari.
I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to fully experience the magic of a safari. It’s a memory we will carry with us forever.

Good Value for money
The agency was very reactive and they were able to satisfy our needs and request. A very good value for money deal. The local guide, Rhino, was well prepared and committed.

Very professional
We spent 4 nights in the Simon mountains and felt like we were in the hands of a professional company. The food was excellent, plentiful and varied. Our guide was passionate about the mountain and was even a great photographer so we have lots of family photos from the trip. He also had a kean eye for spotting wildlife. Nice extra touches like warm soapy water in the morning and after a day of hiking. Tents were good quality and for camping, the mattresses were comfortable. Highly recommend SimienEcoTours
The Best first safari experience in Kenya with Monkey Adventures
We loved our experience with Monkey Adventures from start to finish.
The communication with Fauziah was great - she came back so quickly and profesional to all our emails and various requests helping to create the best personalised trip for us.
Payment was nice and easy - we were a bit nervous about the bank transfer, but it was quick and easy transaction that reached Monkey Adventures in a few minutes.
The safari itself was just perfect. Our guide Dave was so knowledgeable (16 years of experience) and told us all about not only animals but also Massai culture, his own tribe’s traditions and where he grew up etc. His knowledge of the parks was second to none - in Masai Mara, whenever he heard a simple mention on the radio of a lion, cheetah or even leopard - he took us there right away! We were always there before the queues for cars arrived. He’s also just a genuinely lovely person and already miss his company! We’ve seen all the big 5 but also many animal babies!
The places we stayed in were great - we went for the budget option and were so surprised that all accommodations were much higher standard than we expected with our absolute favourite being the Basecamp Adventure in Masai Mara where we could watch hippos, crocodiles, monkeys, various birds and even hyenas and an elephant from our tent!
Food was great - very abundant in each of accommodations and plenty of water was provided during game drives.
Definitely recommend adding the bike tour of Hell’s Gate national park if you’re around Lake Nakuru and arriving to the park very early - we were first there and had all park to ourselves and our lovely guide. Seen giraffes, zebras, buffalo and many other animals from the bike! What an amazing experience! It’s a lovely downhill ride - approx 8km and you will walk around the stunning canyon at the end for another approx 45 min. You then get collected by your driver at the end so don’t need to cycle back 😅
If it’s your first safari, we’d definitely recommend bringing large brim hat and plenty of sun screen - although you’re in the car a lot, you get sooo much sunshine you can easily get sunburned 😅
Overall - we absolutely recommend Monkey Adventures for your safari!
Thank you sooooo much!
