Netherken is a very professional, trustworthy and well organized tour operator.
5/5

Our Safari with Netherken was from A - Z an absolute satisfying and wonderful experience! Our tourguide Mahmoud was 100% reliable, very friedly and super skilled! We‘ve seen almost every animal that we hoped. The communication between the company and us worked without any problems. In comparison to other Safari companies, Netherken was by far the best and most valuable Choice!

Fantastic experience booking with Netherken Safaris.
5/5

From the outset, dealing with Ton at Netherken Safaris was a breeze. He responded quickly to all emails and was incredibly patient whilst we tried to work out an itinerary and accommodation. He constantly sent updated itineraries detailing everything until we were completely satisfied.

Our guide/driver for the 4 days was amazing. Driving in Kenya is not for the faint-hearted but we felt incredibly safe. He was very knowledgeable and would chat away, but he also knew when we just wanted to relax. He put in so much effort and driving to make sure we saw lots of animals on safari and we can't thank him enough for an amazing experience.

It can be daunting trying to choose a safari company as you are spending lots of money and want an unforgettable experience. I would definitely recommend Netherken Safaris - we have come home with the most wonderful memories and pictures.

Everything perfect!
5/5

The safari was perfectly organized. Ton, the owner of Netherken, has always responded very quickly.

We hit the jackpot with our driver Mahmud. His experience, his reliability, his driving skills and his knowledge impressed us. The safari was an unforgettable experience for the whole family.

Serena Lodge in Amboseli was amazing. Ngulia Lodge was very well located, the food was average. Voi lodge had a great view and the food was good.

We recommend to take the train from Nairobi to Emali if you start the safari in Amboseli and finish in Mombasa. The Higway is a nightmare.

6 out of 5 stars for Netherken!

wonderful experience.
5/5

Communication was easy and always on time, no issues there.
The value was fair/good regarding the service provided.
I got the one day tour to Tsavo East. They picked me up on my hotel in Diani Beach at the agreed time, they had water in the van, and we stopped in a place for a coffee (not included). The park is great, and the tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. We manage to see some animals and the scenery is beautiful.
Lunch was really good. And I was dropped back at the hotel at dinner time. I recommend using the service. But would recommend also to do at least two days instead of one.

4/5

We were lucky to have Peter as guide, top driver that teach us a lot of things about animals, and also about Kenya and the tribes living there. We saw all animals we wanted.
Good price for the 4 days tour. Cannot put 5 stars because we got problems with van in 2 different days

5/5

First of all the tour operator is really responsive. Every question asked before booking the tour was answered within a couple hours. The safari in Tsavo East was an experience to never forget. Our guide picked us up on time and managed to drop us off as agreed upon. Kudos! Our guide was also extremely knowledgeable about all the animals in the park and able to answer our every question, while also always amazing us with information about the animals we had no idea of. We managed to see allot of animals, with the highlight being seeing a lioness drinking water from a water-source in which a hippo was swimming and elephants walked up to drinking water, all while baboons were shouting from a tree because of the presence of the lioness. All this right after we passed by another lioness that was lying under a tree eating a freshly caught antilope. We had a two day safari, staying at voi lodge where you could see the animals (elephants, baboons, some birds I dont know the name of) right outside the window. All in all
It was definitely worth the money and I’d recommend it to anyone.

5/5

Excellent from start to finish! Right from the start we had the feeling that we were in good hands and always received quick and competent feedback on all of our questions and concerns. Everything was well organized so that we knew exactly how the safari would proceed and the great accommodations in advance. Everything was also very well organized on site. My boyfriend and I went on a 4 day safari trip to tsavo east & west and amboseli national parks. Our driver Mahmoud was incredibly friendly, well connected and thanks to his many years of experience he was able to answer all of our questions and knew which places in the nature reserves had more to see. We are honestly grateful for this great experience.
