Incredible holiday that delivered all we hoped
5/5

We spent a week by the sea at Mombassa, then KET collected us and delivered a superb 7 day adventure that the three of us will always remember. Nicky our driver was brilliant, helpful, always flexible and a great spotter too. We saw everything we wanted (from leopard by the van, to stamping secretary birds and mating lions!). He handled tricky situations with ease - when we were charged by a rhino, for example! Brilliant stuff. Highly recommended. And if we do it again, we'll go with KET.

thank you for all Paul
5/5

Hi,

We finished 2 safari with KET in January and August 2013 for 1 week for each. Paul and his staff perfect, kind, clever. Also lodges of KET in Masaii Mara, Amboseli, Naivasha and Nakuru are wonderful.
We saw big 5 in each Safari because of effort of his staff. You can trust Paul always.
Safari is easy with KET; trust me.... :)

My total experiece with KET beginning in November, 2012 and ending in Sept., 2013 was exceptional.
5/5

Our safari planning with KET began on November 12, 2012 and this was for a September 2013 trip. Dealing with Paul Mwendwa for nearly a year of pre safari planning was very enjoyable and also very easy. Paul was always quick to respond to all my endless questions, offering alternatives in dates, safari camps, etc. At the end of our safari, Paul was kind enough to meet us at his office as our driver/guide, George was taking us to the airport in Nairobi. All the planning paid dividends as the entire trip went seamlessly with no problems. My wife and I had a safari van to ourselves which made photographing the animals extremely easy and rewarding. I can't say enough about George who went out of his way to make sure we saw every possible animal. We stayed three nights at the Mara Sarova Tented Camp in the Maasai Mara, One night at the Sarova Lion Hill Lodge in Lake Nakuru and two nights at the Ol Tukai Lodge in Amboseli. All accommodations and meals were excellent. Back to George.............our adventure started right away as George picked us up at the airport in Nairobi without a hitch. George then proceeded to get stopped by a lady police officer for God knows what reason. As George continued to rant that Lady cops are the worst and just terrrrrible as my wife and I continued to laugh and laugh. George was also kind enough to make a stop in a little town for me, search for a market so I could buy some beans to fill my camera support to rest my lens on and keep the camera steady. I simply cannot say enough about Paul and George. They made our once in a lifetime experience a true joy. George and Paul were reflective of all the Kenyan people we came in contact with - kind, considerate and full of joy.

wonderful experience!!!
5/5

The decision to rely on Kenya Expresso Tours And Safaris (Ket Safaris) was the best we could do!
We are lovers of nature and photography and by the time we were curious to see the great natural spectacle that is the wildebeest migration in the Masai Mara park (crossing the river of the same name).
 
After careful research on the internet about the program that we wanted to do, we sent multiple requests for quote .: Ket Safaris offering excellent lodges (all parks and stations: 2 nights Lake Nakuru Lodge, Sarova Mara Lodge 1 night, 3 nights Ashnil Mara Camp), Land Cruiser sunroof with private driver exclusively for us (we met vans packed with people!) and the best price (all inclusive).
Certified agency in Kenya, Paul (owner of the agency) and 'immediately proved to be very helpful and answered our questions (and doubts) within a few hours. Posted advance, we made the balance directly to our arrival at the airport where (arrived at 4 am!) We met Paul, and together, the one who will be our guardian angel: Francis, the best guide we could hope to meet.
Always friendly, smiling, in order, available in our every request and requirement, Francis has great experience, he knows every path of the parks and (importantly) the best stalking. Nicknamed by his colleagues "who found the animals" and in continuous contact with Mr Jackson and Pascal (also excellent guides Ket Safaris), with intuition and patience, we are back in ambush after everyone had left and we were able to assist in two stages, crossing the Mara is a huge herd of wildebeest .. in two phases because interrupted by the attack of a lioness in the first and not 'failed (the baby wildebeest and' saved by the intervention of the mother), while the second has attacked and killed a wildebeest adult. The scene is set and 'turning a few meters and I guarantee that, in such a context, the unfolding of Nature has not horrified ns. sensitivity ': kill to live and to continue the species (shortly after and' came another lioness that clearly showed signs of lactation). In addition to this we have seen a short distance herds of lions, buffaloes, zebras, gazelles of each species, hippos, crocodiles, elephants, rhinoceros, leopard (anche'esso hunting but failed), the cheetah with 4 wonderful puppies.
All this thanks, again, to stalking intelligent and patient during which the dear Francis never showed impatience or fatigue ... ..Anzi in the most 'heavy always has a ready smile, a good joke, a contagious laugh.
At the end of the journey Paul, the owner of the agency, greeted us wondering how it had come and offered us a wonderful dinner in a good restaurant in Mombasa!
 
Continue to describe what we saw would take too long but I hope I have conveyed a little of the enthusiasm with which we returned.
 
It 's not the first safari we do (always arranged by us, we visited South Africa, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Botswana ... .adesso and' added the Western Kenya Safaris and thanks to Ket., Paul, Francis and indirectly in Jackson, Pascal and 'was a unique experience that has allowed us to "unplug" from our wonderfully daily routine and come back with so many beautiful images in the heart and the mind.

3 Day Masai Mara Private Tour
5/5

We had an excellent time on our private tour of the Masai Mara with Ket Safaris. To start with, the communication before our arrival was incredibly thorough and timely so we felt we were going to be looked after even before our arrival in Kenya. From our pick-up on Day 1 to our drop-off on Day 3 everything went seamlessly. Couldn't have been happier with the experience and service provided.

Great safari, very knowledgeable guide/driver and the kids loved it
5/5

Organizing the trip was very easy and answers came back very quickly. A small hiccup was tented camp vs. lodge but in the end I could accept that. The driver/guide was more than excellent, safe driver and knew the answer to almost every question we threw at him, Stephen was just great.

We had 3 kids 18, 11 and 7 which limited the number of days we could thought we could spend so we decided for the 4 day safari which actually could have been 5 days with an extra day in Masai Mara.

I would for sure recommend KETS to any of my friends but make sure all lodging alternatives are clearly sorted out to avoid surprises.

Fantastic Safari
5/5

We had never used KET Safaris before but we need not have worried Paul was true to his word a real Gentleman we had the most wonderful Safari think this was the best we have had we travelled to Samburu Ashnil Mara, Aberdares The Ark,Lake Nakuru Lake Nakuru Lodge,Maasi Mara Ashnil Mara and what a fantastic time we saw loads of animals all the Big Five and to see them in their own habitat is mind blowing
The highlight of our Safari was the Migration saw the wilderbeest crossing the Mara river Kenya -Tanzania which was a WOW WOW WOW seen this many times on the television but to actually be there for real to see it is awesome we saw we estimate about 4000 cross all in 6 mins it was fantastic we are now going back in 20 months time to see them coming the other way Tanzania-Kenya
A big thank you to Paul of KET Safaris also to Francis our driver
