If you want your Kenya safari to be a trip of a lifetime, use Wild Race, no need to look elsewhere
A 4-day 3 night luxury safari was arranged thru Wild Race Africa. Family of 4 (me, my sister, my wife, and my 20y old daughter). We stayed at the Sopa Lodge, the Keekerok, and the Sekenani camp. Sekenani is authentic my friends, so be warned - it is not for the faint of heart at night (lions roaring in distance, baboons fighting outside your lodge, etc BUT nevertheless we did not feel in danger at any moment). The MAIN thing I want to accentuate, however, is the customer service we received from Wild Race. Simon! Thank you SOO much for making this trip pleasurable for us. If you want your safari to truly be a trip of a lifetime, let Simon with Wild Race arrange it for you. Ask for George to be your safari guide (George!! Asante sana!!!).
This is the exact safari we took: 4-day 3 night Maasai Mara/Lake Nakuru Luxury Safari. We took the van with the pop up roof option. Safari was March 19 - March 22, 2023

Big adventure
It was really a very nice experience and a real evening adventure.
The organisation was problem-free and everything worked out well. Good value for money
The only thing we would have liked was for the guide to tell the other guests how to behave, for example not to call out to the animals or to try to lure them with a water bottle.

We have made a great trip through Kenia with Wild Race Africa. We saw so many highlights, it was amazing! We saw the great trek from the gnoes twice, we saw lions in love, cheetah's on the hunt, more than enough zebras and wildebeasts, the most beautiful birds, leopards eating a wildebeasts. And a lot more! Our guides Simon and Barack were great. They know almost everything from what we saw. They even know what the best time is to see the great trek, around 11 o'clock! The accommodations where very good in all the parks.The transport was also good. There was a good balance between price and quality. We are looking forward to come back to Kenia, a wonderful country.

Top safari experience
When we started the tour, we were picked up by a driver and brought to their office in Nairobi for the payment. The day before we noticed that our cards have a daily withdrawal limit, and Simon arranged that the driver brings us to an ATM first. That worked without problem and we managed to pick up the full amount in KES. When we arrived at the office, there seemed to be some miscommunication, since the office was closed, but the driver eventually reached Simon, we paid what was agreed beforehand, and were brought to the tour van.
We picked Wild Race Africa Safari Tours due to the overall very good reviews on Tripadvisor and Safaribookings and were not disappointed.
Simon was quick to reply, and arranging/negotiating the tour from home wasn't a problem.

Our driver John took us to Masai Mara (there were 3 other tourists in the car besides us), dropped us off at the lodge and then picked us up again in the evening for a game drive.
On the next day we would have had a full-day game drive, but that had to be canceled for us, since I got sick. We let Simon know via Whatsapp and agreed that we would stay one extra night in the lodge, and do the game drive with another group the next day. This extra night in the Mara Chui lodge + park fees cost $150 per person. The lodge staff was very helpful and friendly and even upgraded us to a better type of house for that extra night.
The next day we managed to do the game drive with another group in a Landcruiser. Even though the tire broke twice, we managed to see many animals over the whole day!
After that we went to Lake Nakuru (Lake Nakuru Lodge). The driver from the whole-day game drive ended up bringing us to somewhere halfway to Nairobi where we had lunch, after which another driver (Alex) picked us up. In that case we were essentially upgraded to a private tour, as there were no other passengers. Alex showed us the Lake Nakuru NP and explained us very much about the animals, and about life in Kenya in general. Alex was very attentive and made a real effort to find all the animals (rhinos, leopards, lions especially). That was all very interesting!
Alex drove us to the airport and helped us buy our flight onwards at the counter.
Overall, we can definitely recommend Wild Race as a tour operator.

Amazing experience
We had a really great time with our guide China, we saw the big five and so much animals, he always tried to do his best to teach us so many things. We booked our Safari at the last moment and the communication and service were fluid and we have really good accomodations for a good price.

An unforgettable trip with good company
Hello!
I share my personal experience:
Our program in September 2019 was designed for 6 nights and three national parks:
Samburu - 2 nights
Nakuru-1 night (2-3 is better); we liked it there the most. Non-terrestrial landscape. Inexpressible! And you can just relax there. View from the hotel to the rift valley. Rhinos are often found.
Masai Mara - 3 nights
I must say that we were satisfied.

African safari professionalism&friendly,exelen
My husband, daughter, son, mother, and dad decided that its time to be in Africa and settle to organize our safari trip with a local tour operator / Tour and travel agency and this is how we found Simon and Wild Race Africa Safari Tours and Travel.
The company is pretty median in size and the service provided was beyond our expectation. Prior to your travel, Simon is very helpful in understanding your needs and tailoring a holiday safari package that is within your budget accordingly. He is also super fast replying to your emails/ Skype / google messenger / Whatsapp. Let's be honest, it is OK to be skeptical in a place you have never been before but Simon and his team of professionals give you this trust from the first minute to the last. From the first driver who picks you up at the airport to the experienced safari guides during the safari his Excellency Mr. Obama.
We took 7 days Kenya Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli tour package and it just blow off our mind. The animal's view was superb, the lodges, the food and even the guide himself was a professor in his own way.
I would like to send my special thanks to our safari driver George in Masai Mara. He has a good command of English and has a solid understanding of wildlife both from a practical and scientific point of view.

Title: Excellent Extraordinary safari experiences of a lifetime.
We recently got back from a 3 weeks East African Safari adventure with the unrivaled African Specialist (Wild Race Africa Safaris company) and the experience was just but awesome with a touch of excellence.
We did get in touch with the Simon Milambo through a referral from my good friend who had traveled with Simon’s company and kudos to Simon, very flexible, extremely friendly, exceptionally knowledgeable and highly experienced. We visited Kenya Uganda and Tanzania and no enough words can describe the feeling… The whole trip was combined to an excellent standard with everything considered and professionally executed. The choice of safari lodges was excellent; very clean, good fresh delicious food, comfortable African style beddings at some point we felt the lodge were absolute luxurious with the best service from a team of great people. Simon and Wild race Africa did a great job incorporating everything we wanted, and everything went off without a hitch. Our guide Phanuel was the best of all the guides have ever used before in Africa, very knowledgeable and flexible, entertaining and fun to be with. I would have no hesitation in recommending Simon Milambo and his team to source and deliver a first class luxury safari - they clearly understand this sector to perfection; Quick in responses, flexible, provides effective detailed information and most importantly reliable. We did not only get a touch of excellence but also value for money. Thanks, Simon and I will definitely come back....
Fantastic
We had a 10 day safari across Tanzania and Kenya that was organised by WildRace - it was seamlessly organised and one of the best trips we've ever been on
We saw the big five within a day and learnt so much from the knowledgeable guides - as well as being able to relax in nice surroundings and accomodation
Would definitely recommend Wildrace to friends
