Amazing Family Safari Tour.
They communicated quickly. All was as agreed and MORE!. The lodges were excellent with good food at all meals. Everyone polite and helpful. Our guide Titus was a 5 Stars, so polite and helpful with our family. Our kids (teens) adored him, he found so many wildlife events for us to witness. We even saw a cheetah hunt live! Memories for life. No worries about booking with them.
I chose them based on Family reviews and they were absolutely spot on!!

Indulge into the nature with hospitality
Perhaps the best can be described as :-
1. Hospitality :- After just coming out of the Nairobi, the huge smile which welcomed us with Jumbo, will be always very close to my heart throughout my life.
2. Manage :- Everything was well planned we really hap an excellent time in the safari and our guide cum driver cum spotter.
3. Knowledge :- Fabulous and humongous knowledge about the wildlife and plants. Just amazing and enjoyed the time.

Fantastic Adventure
My wife and I did the 15 night/16 day Safari Tour in Kenya with Kenya Expresso Tours. It was an amazing trip for both of us. We loved it and hope to do the tour again. Our tour guide/driver, Cornelius, was excellent. He has the eyes of a hawk, able to see things that we would never have seen without him pointing things out to us. He is very knowledgeable and will accommodate your particular interests. He will go beyond the call of duty to show you his beloved country. The owner of the firm, Paul, answers all your questions quickly and does not mind you asking a lot of questions. We also pointed out that we would be arriving on our anniversary and he provided us with an anniversary cake.
The hotels we stayed at were generally excellent. We highly recommend this tour to others. Even if you want to do a shorter tour this is the company that you want to book with. There was one place we stayed where the animals can roam freely around the hotel. I got a great picture of a giraffe nursing a newborn.
For those of you that may consider the 16 day tour, we would perhaps suggest that you make a couple of changes to your itinerary. And the tour company will accommodate changes. We would suggest that you skip The Ark Lodge which occurs on day 7. The rooms are sparse. There are 3 viewing levels at the lodge where you can look out at the animals that show up. But if the fog rolls in you see few animals. Also, there is very limited walking that you can do there. I would suggest that you consider adding another day at Samburu.
The other change we would make is on day 11, skip the drive to see the flamingos and go directly to Sarova lion hill Lodge. We did see the flamingos and it was wonderful. But the drive to see them results in approximately an additional 5 hours of driving time. So the total drive time is even greater than the 5 hours on that day because of the time then needed to get to the next location.
Even if you do not make these changes, you will have a great adventure, a trip of a lifetime.

A fun safari in Kenya and Tanzania
We were a group of 16 and were provided three vehicles. The price was very reasonable. No surprises. We are glad we chose Kenya Expresso Tours and Safaris.

Excellent Safari Experience
I was referred to KET safaris based on recommendations posted inside of a travel group. I also contacted several tour companies (upwards of 20) based on Kenya's Tourism Board official list. After many emails and requests I finally decided to go with KET safaris. They offered a very competitive price for the type of accommodation (luxury) that I was requesting for my honeymoon. Paul the owner was very responsive and detailed in providing me with all information needed that made me feel like I was making the right choice. The wire deposit apparently is a standard safari practice and no issues occurred. Duncan was our tour guide for our 4 day/3 night trip to Lake Navaisha, Lake Nakuru and the Mara. Duncan was a pleasure to work with and very knowledgeable. I definitely would recommend KET safari to any of my family, friends, or associates. Great customer service!

Out of this world
Prompt helpful service. This was the best holiday we have ever had. We stayed at Ashnil Mara camp which in itself was truly amazing with fabulous staff especially Fred.
Our guide Cornelius was just beyond superb with eyes like an eagle and very knowledgeable in animal life and where to go to get the fantastic pics of the wildlife.
We really didn’t want it to end and saving now for our next safari. We did 4 days/3nights in Masai Mara. Next time we will do a longer safari. No day was the same, and even if we didn’t see an animal for twenty minutes or so, it was just so amazing and the peace was out of this world.
A truly amazing experience, thank you KET.

most beautiful two weeks safari in Kenya - just perfect
We can highly recommend KETSafaris - Paul Mwendwa. Everything went great, from the booking and preparation to the end of our trip. We have seen many beautiful places and animals of course - hiking in Mount Kenya NP, game drive in beautiful Samburu NP and Sweetwater's Wildlife Sanctuary, relaxation and recreation on Lake Nakuru and Lake Naivasha, and finally the magnificent Masai Mara. The accommodations were all very good and the food was excellent. A big thank you to our super driverguide Patrick, he has kept calm in all situations and always brought us safely to the destination. We will definitely come back as soon as possible, there are still many places to visit in Kenya after our second trip, but above all the warmth and kindness. Thanks again to Paul, Patrick and the whole team. Best regards from Switzerland - Zinedin, Esma and Jan

Excellent service all round!
My wife and I organised a 9 day safari through KET and I would definitely recommend using them! It is the second time that I have used them and again, they did not disappoint. Unlike almost all other operators that we contacted who tried to force us to go with their standard safari tours, KET actually listened and put together the exact itinerary that we wanted. They were also considerably cheaper than any of the other operators and in no way compromised on quality! When initially researching the trip, we emailed Paul many times with different itineraries and places to stay and each time he responded very promptly and professionally, always happy to help.
Our guide, Saba, was excellent and great fun to be around. He worked tirelessly in order to try and get us the best sightings and the result was that we saw much more than we could have ever dreamed of!
Also, extra credit must go to Paul and his team for all the hard work they did in order to get our luggage back to us after it had been lost on our flight into Kilimanjaro. They had to deal with the incompetence of Kenya Airways who had no idea where our bags were for a couple of days and once they had found them, refused to send them to where we were staying. It is only because of the hard work of the KET team that we got our bags back at all - for which we are very grateful!
For anyone looking to go to either Kenya or Tanzania for safari, look no further than KET!
