Excellent Wildlife Safari Experience in Kenya
5/5

Excellent safari with Wild Race Africa Safaris. I got wild Race Africa Safaris online and when I went through what other travelers’ say, I was a bit skeptical, but again its better a company with at least 2 to 5% negative review, it only means the reviews are genuine and not doctored, so I gave them a try.
I got into contact with Simon via mail and he was quite swift in his responses. He reverted to us with a detailed itinerary, well planned and fully detailed with the lodges.
We discussed with my family, checked out the lodges and the rates, we then proceeded with trip confirmation to help ensure the lodges are booked and confirmed in good time.
True to his promise, we got the official company receipt after paying the 30% Advance payment and the lodges reservation reference numbers for our own peace of mind.
Upon landing in Nairobi, we were met at the airport, we cleared the balances and off the trip kicked to Amboseli National Park.
George Odingo was our guide for the 14 Days trip. He is the best guide we could ever ask for. Very detailed, friendly, and flexible. We spotted a lot of animals with much ease.
My daughter calls him a “walking Encyclopedia”, we later get to learn that he is an ethologists and naturalist at the same time with over 25 years experiencing guiding.

He was very kind and nice with us. He takes care of us in every moment, he was part of our family in Kenya where everybody is a sister and a brother from another Mather.
Many thanks to Wild Race Africa and the entire team for making our Kenya trip such an awesome safari experience.
I highly recommend this company to anyone who want to explore and discover Africa, up close and personal.
We will definitely come back soon. Asate sana

A mind-blowing all-around Safari experience
5/5

We had a mind-blowing all-round safari experience with Wild Race Africa Safaris. We got to know about Wild Race Africa through a friend who had travelled with them before. From the moment I placed our trip request with them, the service was beyond all expectations. Simon listened carefully to our trip request and specifications.
He perfectly arranged the perfect holiday tour that met all our interest. The proposed safari lodges were quality lodges located right inside the park that help ensure we maximise our time exploring the parks.
He was very much patient with my frequent, unending questions. As the company policy, we placed advance payment via Pesa-pal (Online payment). Simon Responded back with a receipt confirmation of payment and lodges booking reference numbers.
In Nairobi, we met Rachel and Phanuel who took us to the office where we met Simon and clear the Balance via car payment.
Our Guide Phanuel was excellent. From start of our 8 Days trip, he was incredibly knowledgeable about Animals, birds, and local people’s culture.
We had very easy time exploring the parks, he put his experience forward yet listened to our needs and been super flexible.
In summary, Wild Race Africa and the entire team created a fabulous holiday that ticked every box. A perfect service I'm recommending to all and will use again.
Thank you, Simon and the entire Team.

Excellent Kenya safari Experience
5/5

Words alone can not describe the incredible 6 days trip experience we had in Kenya with Wild Race Africa. We settle on the organization after reading their online reviews. We got in touch with them and they were very swift in their responses.
Simon explained everything in detail and answered to our numerous questions efficiently.
The choice f lodges were awesome and the prices were also very pocket friendly.
We made the commitment fee and cleared the balance on arrival by card and off we were to Masai Mara game reserve.
Our guide George was very knowledgeable and very accommodation.
My daughter was so demanding but George handled every demand so efficiently that we were both very much happy with his services.
The Mara Sekenani camp was superb just as simon had promised. The staffs are very friendly and quite professional.
Back in Nairobi, we had a surprise dinner and carnivore restaurant courtesy of simon and wild Race Africa
I highly recommend this organization for anyone looking for a fantastic Kenya Safari experience.

Superb Luxury Kenya Safari Experience With Wild Race Africa
5/5

Wild Race Africa and Rachel was very helpful in planning and organize our 7 Days Luxury Kenya Safari.
We got Wild Race Africa through referral from a friend who had travelled with them 2019. We got into contact with them via mail and soon got a response from Sylvester’s who was very helpful and quite swift in his responses, very detailed and tackle all our questions with a lot of confidence.

The choice of lodges were excellent. We did Amboseli Ol tukai lodge, lake Naivasha sopa, Lake nakuru Sarova lion hill and mara Sarova game lodge.

All all these lodges, the staffs were very much friendly and quite professional. We were treated like Royalty.

We took a Jeep safari and our guide Hudson was quite incredible, very knowledgeable and flexible.
I would highly recommend wild race Africa for anyone who want to experience the best of kenya wildlife.
Thanks Sylvester’s and your team, we will soon come again.

Great "6-day Amboseli/Nakuru/Masai Mara"-safari with Wild Race Africa and specially with Hudson
5/5

I sent an inquiry through the safaribookings.com-website to five different tour operators at Aug 2022 and after contacted with them, Wild Race Africa Tours seemed to be the right one for us.

We booked Safari for February 2023, paid a 30% reservation fee, received a receipt for the payment and agreed that I would pay the rest in cash on the spot. While waiting for the trip to start, I emailed Simon several times and asked for help with practical arrangements, such as applying for a visa, the necessary vaccinations, etc. He usually answered those questions quite quickly.

Finally, our flight landed in Nairobi and we were met at the airport as agreed and were transferred to the hotel with no extra charge. The next morning, after breakfast, we met Simon at the hotel and paid the remaining 70% in cash. Our guide/driver Hudson was also there so we packed our luggage into the LandCruiser and the journey began.

We spent the next 6 days on safari (2 nights in Amboseli, 1 night in Nakuru and 2 nights in Masai Mara) and it was a really great experience. Big thanks goes to our guide Hudson who was incredibly friendly and knew so much about animals and birds and those national parks. With his help we managed to spot the big 5.

Finally, a tip especially for families with children: Before arriving at the national park, you should buy some snacks from the grocery store, so that is available if someone gets hungry during the game drive.

If you want your Kenya safari to be a trip of a lifetime, use Wild Race, no need to look elsewhere
5/5

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
