Fantastisk
5/5

After many years of wanting a safari trip to Africa with the desire to see e.g. the big five, flying in a balloon and a lot of other things, then we decided to finally strike.
There are really many safari tour providers to be found on the internet.
But we landed on Africa Travel Waves. And that was our luck.
A completely fantastic experience, which was made possible through our fantastic game driver Peter.
Initial contacts were made through the Nairobi office of Blaise Odhiambo. And if we were nervous about doing business and deals, they were really put to shame. All agreements were complied with at least 100%.
So finally use this safari operator if you want a personal and incredible safari where all agreements from end to end are respected to the letter.
And if you have the opportunity to have Peter as your guide, then a formidable experience awaits you, both on a professional level and on a personal level.

Best regards from Anni and Flemming from Denmark.

Seen the Big 5!
5/5

I enjoyed my Safari. This was my first time in Africa (Kenya) and it definitely won’t be my last. Derrick picked me up from hotel and made sure I got back in safely. Safety is definitely a priority for this company. My Safari driver was Albert. He was very patient with all of us. We all wanted to stop the car multiple times to take pictures. Try staying in the luxury camps or hotels! Trust me on this! I stayed in Jambo, my room was great. The food needed some work though. Everyone was super pleasant. We went on the Safari and actually seen all of the big 5! I felt so accomplished. We also watched two lions mate! It was amazing. Make sure you bring shillings to tip the drivers and locals. The van did need to be a bit cleaner. But, overall I enjoyed myself.

Amazing people, amazing service, an overall amazing experience.
5/5

Never a hiccup, since the day I contacted Waves Safari Derrick was there to answer all my questions and solve all my doubts.
Our 3 day Safari with Sammy went beyond expected! We had a lucky star guiding us through our experience and we got to see all big 5 and many of thems, having a one-on-one with 10 Lyons and a very close up with a white Rino. Hotel choose and pick was absolutely aligned with my needs and what I was actually quoting by myself , so like they read my mind.
I recommend eyes closed Waves Safari, and we are so thankful for all that they did for us.

Perfect ! I recommend
5/5

We took advantage of a long stopover of 18h in Kenya to organize a Safari Tour in Nairobi National Park. Derrick was always available and friendly either before our departure or on site. We were able to benefit from his advice to prepare our excursion as well as possible, being taken care of from the airport and to benefit from an à la carte program which turned out to be perfect: Nairobi National Park Safari, David Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage , Giraffe center, Carnivore Restaurant, and finally the superb cultural show Bomas of Kenya before being driven back to the airport. Everything was perfect !

Excellent Safari Experience
5/5

We had an excellent safari experience in MAsai Mara with Africa Travel Waves Safaris. It was very easy for me to plan my Kenyan Safari trip with Mrs. Edwina as she provide sufficient & clear information, prompt responses, flexibility & reasonable pricing. Even she helped me to buy train tickets from Mombasa to Nairobi as it's bit tough to buy train tickets online without a local's support as it accept payment only by MPESA.
Although we went on game drive Safari only for 2 days, she had arranged it very well & especially with safari guide Mr.John, we were able to see many animals within that short time as John knows every inch of Masai Mara park very well.
I can recommend Africa Travel Waves Safaris to anyone to have a trouble free tour.

Finally, a tour operator that truly cares!
5/5

I used Safari Bookings to find a tour operator who could arrange this 7 day trip for me. Derrick of Africa Travel Waves Safari immediately responded. He was very professional and timely in his replies. They created a 5 day safari package that included Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Navaisha. As I was a solo traveller, I joined other groups. I have to say that Africa Travel Waves chose an amazing group of people for me to join. The veichle was also a proper 4x4 Land Rover. It offered the highest levels of comfort and safety.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, which were beyond the control of Africa Travel Waves Safaris, my chosen hotel at Lake Nakuru has overbooked themselves and I was walked to another hotel without the knowledge of Africa Travel Waves. It was a less than pleasant experience at the Golden Palace Hotel, Lake Nakuru. Even if it was not their fault, Africa Travel Waves Safaris, took responsibility of improving my exprience in Kenya by providing a better accomodation by Navaisha. This showed me that they truly cared for my well being and wasnt just there to make a sale. I highly recommend them as a tour operator. I would put my full trust on them again.

To the amazing team of Africa Waves Safaris, thank you for making my experience an exceptional one! Thank you for giving me an opportunity to create fond memories of Kenya! You guys rock!

Amazing experience, our guide was lovely and Kenya is unreal.
5/5

The communications all throughout the process were excellent. Derrick was extremely helpful and pleasant through email and in person. Our guide Sammy was a very experienced driver and knowledgeable guide. He was on top of what was happening all throughout the parks through his van's radio, so he managed to get us close to animals that were normally quite difficult to catch. He said we were quite lucky but I know part of it was his proactive and alertness of his environment. While we were there it rained most of the time, but this was no obstacle for us to have a great time, as our guide knew how to safely and surely navigate the muddy roads. He was also very pleasant and interesting to talk to. The hotels they booked for us were enjoyable, especially Lion Hill Lodge in Lake Nakuru. Overall this was an amazing experience thanks to Travel Waves Safaris, 100% recommend!

A-MA-ZING experience!
5/5

Sammy is an amazing, friendly and experienced tourguide and a good driver as well. The company is very reliable: Accurate, fast communications and willing to adapt when necessary. I ended up being the only person in the car and they have not charged/asked me a penny extra than initially agreed.
The Masai Mara experience was better than expected. Sammy and I witnessed a large group of Wildebeest crossing the Mara River and we had the best view! In short: amazing! The camp was good as well.
Thank you so much for the highlight of my Kenya-trip Travel Waves!
