From Mombasa to Masai Mara
We experienced one of the most organised trips to Kenya and it was all down to Johnathan and his wonderful team. We planned to visit from Mombasa all the way to Masai Mara which could have proven to quite a challenge but Johnathan planned it meticulously. The itinerary was bespoke and absolutely suited to what we had in mind and Johnathan consulted us several times along the way. He provided several options including budget accommodation as well as luxury with a range of accommodation. The drivers were well informed throughout the experience and prioritised our comfort throughout the whole trip. The meals allowed us to experience Kenyan culture and Johnathan even planned picnic lunches to make sure we got the most out of our safari. We feel incredibly lucky to have seen the big 5 as we know that not all get to do that! We could not have asked for a better trip and are desperate to be back soon so we can explore more of Kenya!

Incredible trip - lifelong memoriesWe were incredibly impressed with our recent safari in Kenya.
We were incredibly impressed with our recent safari in Kenya. As four females traveling together, we wanted to ensure we organised a safe and comfortable trip. After emailing a number of companies requesting information, we decided to use Genesis of Adventure because Jonathan was so helpful and prompt with responses to our queries. On arrival to Nairobi airport, Jonathan was there to greet us and we were able to hop straight in to our private jeep to begin our adventure.
The jeep was clean, spacious and in excellent condition. After introducing us to Noah, our guide and driver, Jonathon left us and we began our journey to Lake Nakuru. Noah was a brilliant driver and we felt very safe on board. He pointed out a lot of interesting things on our journey and was very polite, knowledgeable and engaging.
Our accommodation was basic - our request to keep overall costs down - but comfortable. We had proper beds, even in the tents, with mosquito nets so we were able to sleep well. We also had en suite western style flushing toilets and showers in our tents. The showers might have been basic inside the tents, but they were welcome after our long game drives. The food at the camps was delicious and there was plenty of it. Miti Mingi Eco Camp (Masai Mara) also had electricity and plug sockets inside the tents - perfect for the charging of cameras/phones.
The game drives were incredible. Noah managed to find the best spots to show us the animals. His ability to navigate round the National Parks was impressive. We saw all members of the Big 5, some more than once and in total 31 different species of animal. In one day inside the Masai Mara we saw: 7 cheetahs; 9 lions (male and female); a leopard; hippos, giraffes, buffalo and elephants galore...too many other animals to count! We saw thousands of wilderbeest due to the Great Migration from the Serengeti to Masai Mara, as well as zebra, impala, hyenas and warthogs. The memories of these animals and the stunning scenery will last a life-time. Again, Noah's knowledge about the animals was fantastic and he shared facts with us about them frequently.
We were pleased we added Lake Nakuru to the start of our trip. It was here we were treated to the rhinos. We saw 5 in total, both black and white, which was amazing!
This was an fabulous trip and we highly recommend it to others. Great value for money and great people at Genesis of Adventure. I would absolutely use this company again.
Great travel and great attentive service.
I used Genesis of Adventure's tour services when traveling to the remote northern part of Kenya. The company made all of the travel arrangements to visit the western side of Lake Turkana. There are very few tour companies that offer services to this area and I was glad to have found Genesis. Jane was very responsive and answered all of my many questions in great detail. When Jane was not available Jonathan himself stayed in contact with me. Everything was nicely organized from flights to Lodwar to private transport around Lake Turkana and accommodation as well as drive to Lokichogio (even more remote). Jonathan even made some last minute changes to my itinerary as to my request; I appreciated his great flexibility. He was in contact with me on a regular basis throughout the entire trip. I recommend Genesis of Adventure and hope to be back.

We had a great time! Everything worked perfectly
I truly enjoyed my trip to the Masai Mara, with the Mara Explorer Camp being a strong feature in that beautiful picture. The service provided, the people, the space, the tents, the tours, everything was exactly if not more than I expected! A camp build in nature, one with nature with the most sweet and welcoming people running it! I loved it to bits and I am definitely going to try and go back.

c Hello Genesis of Adventure, I hope you are well? Sorry for the delay in writing, it has been so
Hello Genesis of Adventure,
I hope you are well? Sorry for the delay in writing, it has been so busy
since we returned, but we wanted to write to say that we had an amazing
time on our Safari. We haven't stopped talking about it since we got home
and all our friends and families have been looking at the hundreds of
photos we took...!!!
We would like to say a big thank you to you and everyone at genesis of
adventure for arranging such a brilliant and comprehensive tour that suited
and exceeded all our expectations. I must also say that Hassan was a credit
to your organization. We cannot praise him enough. He was courteous, funny,
reliable and knowledgeable and had an insight into where we needed to be to
see every animal available, even leopards & cheetahs. Please pass on our
special thanks to him. He made a fantastic safari even better.
I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and we will definitely be in touch for
our next Safari.

You and your staff, especially Apala, our guide and driver made our trip the most amazing adventure we have ever been on.Thank you for an amazing safari!(masai mara,lake nakuru,naivasha and momnasa).My experience with your company was incredible because you took care of everything from start to finish. Kenya is an amazing place, but its even more wonderful when you are with a great team whose guides and drivers love what they do and an experienced staff that truly cares about your safari and pays attention to every detail.

Amazing
We had a fantastic experience using Genesis of Adventure. Jonathan was very helpful when it came to planning our trip, from being picked up at the hotel to being dropped of to the airport for the next part of the trip.
Our driver was very knowledgeable and we were lucky to see all of the big five.
I would highly recommend this company.

Excellent, friendly service, with a personal touch.
This trip was my second time with Genesis of Adventure in Kenya and I can really recommend them!
As with the first safari, when I went to Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara, this one, too, was a great experieince.
Jonathan suggested different options to me and I was able to pick the one which suited me most.
He organised everything from A to Z.
Safaris include pick up from the airport / hotel, all transportation, the games drives and full-board lodging.
This time I went to Tsavo West and Amboseli National Parks for altogether 4 days. Each day includes two game drives of about 2 hours each in the morning and evening.
The accomodations were lovely and could truly be called "5 Star".
During both safaris I had very knowledgeable, kind and engaged guides who communicated a lot of information and put in a great effort to track down the location of the animals.

Incredible return trip to Kenya
This was our second visit to Kenya using the brilliant Genesis of Adventure. We had a fantastic time from start to finish. Pre-trip planning and communication with Jonathan was excellent and our driver Noah was very knowledgeable, energetic and safe. It was great to have them match our budget to suitable accommodation and itinerary: Maasai Mara, Lake Navisha and Lake Nakuru.
We were thrilled to see so many animals on safari - including the big 5 - and also enjoyed our cultural activities, such as a visit to a Maasai village.
We appreciated our pre-flight PCR test being organised at Lake Nakuru so we were ready for our departure without losing time on our game drives whilst there.
Our budget accommodation was basic, but very comfortable (with beds and mosquito nets in tents) and the 4x4 jeep was spacious and again very comfortable.
We highly recommend this company and will be back!
