Wonderful 10 days in Kenya and Tanzania
Jane from Kenan Travel & Tours arranged such a wonderful 10-day vacation for my wife, myself and our friend Jill. The trip was perfect. We had amazing experience with the wild animals in Masai Mara and Serengeti. We saw about 40 lions including a few males lions and a lot of babies. We saw all the big five although it was in the low season of tourism in east Africa. Our guide and driver Naftali was super helpful in finding the best places to observe the animals. We had quite nice accommodation in Serena Safari Lodges. We had a special experience in Tortilis Camp in Serengeti. We spent 5 nights in Tanzania in the middle of the trip and went back to Kenya. I was a little concerned about the transition in the boarder before the trip. It turned out Jane had taken everything into consideration. Our drivers always met in the boarder area for handing over so that we did not need to worry about figuring out the way. We started to plan the vacation 3 months ago. Jane always replied tons of our emails very promptly. She was super patient to our questions and requests about the itinerary. One thing very worth mentioning was our friend Jill's luggage was lost by the airway company. Jane stayed in the Nairobi airport to communicate with the airway company. We were very worried about Jill. She could not enjoy the trip without all her clothes in the luggage. Jane went to the airport again in the early morning of the next day and got the luggage back. Jane sent us the luggage by a small aircraft from Nairobi to Masai Mara while we had already started the amazing safari.

Jane sent, in very short time, different options. She attended whatsapps, was kind and punctual.
The down payments was easy from Mexico and they sent me receipt. In Nairobi Jane was punctual and the guide was polite with us and took good care. The recomendation of Sopa Lodges was the best. Everyone was very kind to us. The lodge is great, clean and the food great.

One of the most amazing experiences of my life!
I cannot recommend this safari trip enough. It was a very last minute decision of mine to go, and I was a little apprehensive as it seemed so cheap, but it genuinely is just a great deal. Jane from Kenan Travels was so lovely and so helpful, and made me feel very secure. Our driver - Isaak - was also a dream, and hilarious! I met the most incredible people, ate wonderful food, and saw absoltely everything I wanted. Incredible expereince to do - I would say especially on the joining group as you meet so many people! Thanks Kenan Travel and Tours!

Excellent Experience beyond expectation!!!
Our Safari with Kenan Travel was absolutely perfect from the first contact through email until the last day on our way to the Airport that they had arrange a transfer for us even though our Safari ended and we stay many more days in Kenya. We Visited Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, Amboseli and a Maasai Village (experience not to be missed). I don't need to talk about the beauty of the landscapes. Our Drivers were very professional and especially Martin did everything to make sure we have the best time ! On our Safari we were always the first to go around the animals and very close to them. Jane made us feel like home and secure, she is a very sweet and caring person with a great sense of hospitality! After 6 days of an amazing experience even though we were tired, we said that we would do the same all over again! We Highly recommend Kenan Travel & Tours for a budget Safari that we chose it was way more luxurious than we expected ... Thank you Kenan Team for the unforgettable moments !!

Great experience
We booked a 5 day van&guide with Kenan Travel&Tours, and it was great experience, especially with Naph the driver and guide. We got picked up from the Nairobi airport and went straight to the area of Amboseli (near Mount Kili) and spent the next 4 days there. As we have our small toddler with us we wanted to have a more relaxing journey and Naph planned accordingly with us for the tour which was really wonderful. We basically went out everyday for half day safari (because of the kid) either in Amboseli National Park or in the conversation area of the camp where we stayed. We will never forget the amazing experience when Naph took us to the park very early in the morning and we were very lucky to see the elephant herds wondering so close to our car with Mount Kili in the background! So many wonderful photos we took that day. Naph has been doing this for over 20 years and he knows all the National Parks and when and where to spot the animals. Would definitely recommend to our friends who wish to go to Kenya for safari

Excellent experience
While booking our own safari we were frustrated by the lack of reviews on many operators so we wanted to share our experience with Kenan Tours. Overall we give 5 stars as the trip was excellent. The logistics were very well managed and our guide / driver worked extremely hard to make sure we were able to see all of the things we wanted. He literally went the extra mile to ensure we had a great holiday! His experience as a guide made a huge difference throughout the trip in terms of making sure we were in the right place at the right time on the game drives and teaching us about the culture. We also appreciated the flexibility as they were able to modify the plans depending on our timing and the weather (e.g., starting a bit earlier or later, working additional sight seeing into the schedule). Another thing we liked is that Kenan is a Kenyan owned and operated company so there are no middle men and they take great pride in their business. The main people at the company have many years of experience with tour operators and started their own company. They were frequently calling each other and checking in with us to be sure everything was satisfactory. We also noted they had other trips ongoing at the time and after we had left so they are clearly getting some word of mouth references.

amazing safari with experienced guide
we are a french/american couple in our late thirty. we have spent 6 days in kenya for our first safari. we are really happy with our experience with kenan travel & tours.
Everything was really well organised. they even have customised our trip to get the best from the weather (we went to masai mara first, and then lake nakuru and amboseli). our guide/driver was really good, with more than 22 years of experience. He knows all the right place to see the best animals and he is very well connected, which gives us some really good tips to go to the right place.
Lodges and food were excellent.
We are strongly recommended you to use this kenyan operator.

A pleasure with Kenan Travel and Tours
We contacted Kenan Travel and Tours approximately 9 months in advance of our travel dates and requested a quote for a van and driver service for 9 days whilst we travelled to several parks in Kenya.A price was accepted and we made all other arrangements, accomadation and flights, as we had previously travelled in Kenya and felt confident in this format.The Company offered assistance with any queries and at all times responded quickly and was informative in our planning.
We were met at our Hotel in Nairobi at the agreed time and met our representitive from Kenan and our driver for the trip.All arrangements were in order and we travelled to Meru National Park where we spent 3 nights,at Ikweta Camp which is highly recomended.Game drives in Meru were excellent with the Kenan driver beiing very knowlegable and really acting in a guide capacity as well.We also travelled to Lake Nakaru and then on to Masai Mara staying 4 nights at Keekorok Lodge which we would also recommend.Game drives over 3 days proved excellent as we had good sightings of all the big cats plus a number of animals we had not sighted on our previous trip.Again our drivers knowledge was invaluable.
We have found Kenan Travel and Tours to deliver on their agreeemnt and we would highly recommend anyone travelling to this part of Africa to contact them and consider using their services.

Joyful, Powerful and Life Enhancing
Whilst there were a few finance/admin hiccups which proved to be very upsetting and challenging, the safari itself was amazing! 8 different lodges in 16 days. From Nairobi, Loita Plains, Loita Hilla, Maasai Mara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Amboseli, Kilimanjaro, Tsavo West, Tsavo East, Mombasa, Back to Nairobi. Thousands of land miles were covered with complete awe and joy. Elephants, Lions, Wildebeest, Zebras, Buffalo, Rhino, Crocs, Girrafes, Leopards, Cheetahs, Gazelles and, and, and.... birds, the most amazing vegetation, landscape which went to infinity. All breathtaking. And the sky - wow! Day / Night - stars, moon, sunset, sunrise heart lifting.
The safari guides / drivers passionate and knowledgeable about their countries and their animals and land. Kirimi - safari guide/driver was so kind, thoughtful,caring and delighted in sharing his passion and knowledge. The safari lodges and hotels were extraordinary- with the exception of one - I would stay in all of them again. Maji Moto - the cultural eco camp has to be experienced.
When in Kenya and Tanzania - Kenan travel checked that I was okay and made sure that the safari was going well. I was collected on time from the airports and taken to all relevant glorious locations on time and stress free.
The whole experience has been life changing and life enhancing. An authentic adventure.
