amazig day hike on mount longonot
My brother and I book our first tour to Masai Mara with Genesis of Adventure (I was in touch with Jonathan) and everything was well organised and we really liked our tour guide Eduard that we decided to book a day hike to Mount Longonot. Everything was organised as the fist time and Eric came to pick us up at the hotel at 7am. The drive from Nairobi to Mount Longonot was around 1 hour and 45 minutes. Once we arrived at the national park we paid our entrance fee and we were asked if we want to take a ranger with us because there are wild animals but we decided to hike alone. Mount Longonot is an inactive Vulcano and it is around 3 km from the park entrance up to the crater. Some parts a kinda steep but not too difficult. Once you reach the crater you can walk around the whole crater for 7 km. Our advice to walk on the crater is to take the hike clockwise, at least we found it easier and we found a lot of people struggling to hike up the steep way with the crushed rocks on it. We also advice to wear hiking shoes with a robust sole and to bring some healthy snacks and water to stay hydrated. The highest point of the Vulcan Crater is 2.780m and we took our break there. We just weren't lucky with the view because the peak of the mountain was in a cloud. Once we reached the point where we started our crater hike we found a lot of young people and kids and they had a school excursion, everybody was very friendly and so lovely that we decide to hike the way down with some school kids. The whole tour took us 5 hours but we really walked slowly and we stopped many times to enjoy the view and listening to the nature.
We can only recommend this hiking tour to everybody who love to hike and the nature. Thank you Genesis of Adventure to make our stay so great in Kenya

Our Genesis of Adventure Tour well organized, safe and fun.
From the time we arrived Jonathan made sure everything ran smoothly. We were in touch throughout the whole trip and he made sure he stuck to his word and provided everything that was promised. We went on a well organized tour. Our tour guide was funny and knowledgeable about the different areas and animals and did everything to make it enjoyable for us. I would definitely recommend Genesis.

Our tour guides were informative and friendly while insuring our safety.
Our group booked multiple tours with Genesis. Each tour guide we encountered was knowledge and personable. Bosco took us on safari to Maasai Mara. He made sure our experience was one to brag about! Thank you and God bless.

Nice safari experience
It takes about 8 hours to get to the Masai Mara. Our guide was very nice and made sure we would see as many animals as possible which we did.
We also got to picnic in the Mara which was a fantastic experience.
The tents were also fine and private, there was no mosquitoes inside, and there was hot water.
We also visited a Masai village: do not miss it, it is very eye opening and we learn a lot from them.
Good quality for money.
Thank you for this wonderful experience.

Another safe and fabulous adventure
This is the third time we have used Genesis of Adventure for our safari trip to Kenya. Throughout the planning stages, Jonathan is always incredibly helpful, organised and swift with communication. This time we visited the Masai Mara only and stayed at Zebra Plains Collection; a very comfortable and beautifully decorated camp at the edge of the Mara. At times we could see animals (giraffe, zebra, gazelles) in the distance from our breakfast table! The food was also delicious and accommodation better than we expected, with an ensuite and four poster bed! This was by no means camping; it was glamping! During our 3 night and 4 day visit, we were fortunate in seeing the big 5 and felt our driver went above and beyond to find us the best viewpoints for spotting the wildlife - we were spoilt! Our driver also frequently shared information with us during our journey to and from Nairobi airport and on our game drives in the Masai Mara about Kenya, the culture, the animals etc. Another fabulous adventure, we can't thank Genesis of Adventure enough - we will be back!

Jonathan was very nice and informative
Jonathan came to my hotel to hand me over the papers and bookings for all of my entire trip in Kenya! Every thing went smoothly and I barely had to reach out to him for anything. Drivers showed up on time - all bookings were done and went effortlessly.
BIG THANK YOU TO THE AGENCY for accommodating my last minute request to travel to Kenya and providing TOP CLASS service !

Amazing Maasai Mara safari with Genesis of Adventure
From the initial enquiry about a safari with Genesis of Adventure, all the way up until the end of the trip, Genesis were first class. The communication, detail of itinerary, and the support through the booking process was made simple and easy. We took our 2 young (11 and 6) children and all of us had the very best time. We were given options as to what our safari could and would look like. We could literally tailor it to suit our needs and requirements and Genesis made it happen. We were collected from our hotel in Nairobi and were greeted by a dedicated driver, Ken, and Jonathan who had been in communication with us during the booking process. Ken drove us for the rest of our trip and returned us 3 days later to Nairobi. He was knowledgeable, sociable, and was fluent in English. During the safari he taught us all so much of the wildlife and the area itself. He always knew the best places to go and the best times to see the animals. We saw leopards, lions and lion cubs, cheetahs, the lot. It was such an incredible experience. I can’t fault any part. Would definitely recommend Ken and Genesis of Adventure to anyone.

Fantastic, responsive and very adaptable!
We have a wonderful experience with Genesis. Jonathan was very responsive and made everything easy for us to plan. Value for money was great and we had the most amazing time. Once he handed us over to Joshua, our ranger, the same continued. Professional and helpful. We just loved it.
