Just perfect
5/5

We booked the 4-day safari. Our safari went through Tsavo West, Tsavo East and Amboseli National Park. My wife, our 11 year old son and I were all very, very satisfied.
Machut was our guide and driver. We benefited from his many years of experience right from the start. Already at the first stop he spotted a crocodile and a hippo with his trained eye. And the following days were just as exciting. We saw and admired all the big fives at the end of our safari. The lodges were also really great and exceeded our expectations. The locations of the lodges were all unique and the special thing was the watering holes for the animals. So we sat at dinner and we could watch elephants, zebras, buffalos and many other animals from a safe distance. A better entertainment is not possible on a safari.
But also the catering, the cleanliness and the service were completely to our satisfaction. Despite the long distances on partly improvised roads, Machut always drove us safely from A to B. We had unforgettable safari experiences. With this safari we had unforgettable days in Kenya.

Great experience of the Safari Best of Tsavo East & West
5/5

The safari was well planned, with a very nice driver. The big plus was we had a private tour, so we could go and stop as we pleased. We saw the big 5 in 2 days! The 2 lodges we stayed in were perfect and added a lot to the tour. I highly recommend this safari, it’s real value for tour money.

great touroperator with clear and honest advise
5/5

Clear communication and information about the safari before booking. We had a skilled driver with a lot of experience in spotting animals. he was always punctual and good natured. we did the tsavo east/west taita hills 4 days, all the lodges were situated on a magnificent location, although most were simple accomodations this did not bother us because everything was clean and the food (especially Salt lick) was good.
The price was good for what was offered and i would recommend Neherken to everyone.

Value for money and reliable
5/5

The Safari with Netherken Safaris & Tours was Value for money and it's a reliable company.
We where with 8 people in 2 private safari vans for a 1 day Tsavo East safari.
1 day safari is a very hectic day and with more time available it's better to do a 2 or 3 day safari in Tsavo East and West.

From arrival to delivery at the hotel; everything was just perfect!
5/5

Jambo rafiki!
Our first safari was a wonderful and unique experience thanks to the tour operator and especially the guide (Greetings to Abdalla).
The 3 day tour to Tsao Est and Amboseli with 2 nights accommodation exceeded all our expectations.
Our guide was very well organized and always ready to help with our concerns. Thanks to him we also saw animals that we would not have seen otherwise (Leopard). We enjoyed flora and fauna. In this sense

Asante sana, na kukuona hivi karibuni!

Professional safari tour operator from start to finish.
5/5

Very satisfied with the whole tour. Driver and guide (Mahmud Ali Khamis) was a true professional that loves his job. The process of reservation and payment with Ton Verheijke was very smooth. Highly recommended for an unforgettable safari in Kenya.

The most magical holiday ever
5/5

Netherken arranged and delivered the most wonderful short safari for my 12 year old daughter and I. Everything was seamlessly organised using multiple providers, from the driver collecting us in Nairobi to go to Wilson Airport, the flight to the Masai Mara, the driver - who turned out also to be a ranger - who brought us to the Fig Tree Camp who gave us a short dive to see amazing wildlife before we'd even checked in. Fig Tree camp was managed perfectly and all staff were friendly, helpful and genuinely interested in the quality of holiday we experienced. We timed our visit to perfection and saw more than we could reasonably expect - four of the big five in abundance (sadly the Black Rhino is very endangered and quite unsociable, especially when their home is over run with millions of Wlildebeest, notwithstanding nosey humans). We missed the mass migration by 2 hours as we had to return to Nairobi. Netherken cannot be praised highly enough in putting together a good value, high quality service, a perfect safari vacation and a host of memories to last a lifetime. Thank you all at Netherken, you should be proud.

Amazing Safari experience
5/5

We, 2 adults (49y and 43y) and 2 children (12y and 9y) had a great time during the 4 days Safari: Tsavo West, Mzima Springs, Amboseli and Tsavo East.

Mahmud is an excellent and prudent driver, he really drives carefully in the highway and also during the safari. He is always looking for the best places to see the animals, where to park with the van for you to take the best photos. He is always exchanging information with the other drivers, so he gets to know where to find the animals. With his help we were able to see all the big 5 and many other animals.

High point was to see the lions in Tsavo East and Amboseli, the cheetah in Tsavo East, the rhino and leopard in Tsavo West as well the hippos in Mzima springs. Elephants, Zebras, Buffalos, Wild beasts, Giraffes, Warthogs, and many others.

All the lodges were good. Accommodation and food was great. Even when arriving a bit late there was always food available for us. You really get value for the money paid.

Amaizing Experience with Badru!
5/5

Very fun and Nice safari! We got the best reception from Badru and had a friendly tone during the entire trip! He made sure that we got to see the animals upclose and knew exactly where the animals would be! He was very tolerant with us and made sure that we had absorbed every animal experience before moving ahead! Great value for money(the safari lodges were wonderful)! I 100% reccomend! We loved every part of the Trip!! Thank you so much!❤️
