Nice Safari Experience in Amboseli
From Nairobi, we spent three days at Amboseli Safari. The trip was beautiful. The guide took his time and showed patience everywhere. On the first day, I saw a lot of elephants, giraffes and zebras. When the sun rises in the morning, Kilimanjaro mountain can be seen, it looks very beautiful. The meals were tasty and the lodging was tidy and cozy. The entire trip was peaceful and well-organized.

second safari
I went on a safari with my wife and a friend. We loved the safari. We managed to see all of the Big Five and many other animals in a beautiful landscape. The hotels were great and comfortable. Our guide/driver was excellent, never stopping looking for animals and the best angles to admire them and take pictures. This was my second safari and I loved it both times.
I recommend the tour and the company.

Great company, too bad for our driver
$1700 per person, 6 days
We visited Masai Mara, Hell's Gate & Amboseli.
Cons:
- Scam(ish) behaviour
We were meant to pay $33 to visit Crescent Island and $30 to get there by boat. When we checked our gps, we found out that the boat hadn't taken us to the island, just 1km farther along the shore. We stayed there 10 mins then we were told to go back. I called our driver and told him we refused to pay 63 dollars per person for this, so he agreed to only make us pay for the boat ride. We had only agreed to the boat ride because he'd told me it was the only way to reach the island. We never got to visit the island because there was no more time left.
- Our driver was constantly on his phone.
Not only while driving, but even during safaris he wasn't really looking for animals cause he was staring at his phone. When we did find animals, we obviously tried to be quiet and listen to nature but he'd be watching videos on facebook or talking on the phone and ruin the moment (and the videos we took).
- He would tell us to wake up at 5.30am to leave very early, then show up 30mins late.
- He made a misogynistic comment at us about my friend being the one who should make decisions because I'm a woman, and shaming him for not doing so.
Pros:
- sufficiently trustworthy
- best price we found
- accomodation was GREAT. good food, very good rooms, it felt like we paid for the budget option but got the luxury one.
- we met another staff member, in charge of making us food one night, and he was very very kind and a great cook
- they reply to texts and emails very quickly
- they are readily available if you want to change the arranged schedule in any way.
- there really aren't any additional expenses whatsover except the optional ones that are specified within the program. food, water, car fuel and anything you can think of are included in the agreed price.
