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

Value for money and reliable
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.

great touroperator with clear and honest advise
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.

Great experience of the Safari Best of Tsavo East & West
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.

Just perfect
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.

Reliable
We were in Kenya on March 2023, we were a group of 6 people with 1 jeep, driver name is Abdullah.
Our experience was good, we saw a lot of animals, except leopard, cheetah and rhino, but we saw lots of elephants, zebra, antelopes, and lions. Mybe my vote should have been excellent if we had seen all (naturally I perfectly know that it is only a matter of fortune, but the animlas you saw or didn't see influence your judgement ... believe me ...)
However, speaking of SERVICE: we stay 3 nights, one at VOY in Tsavo East, that was nice with a pool (for the animlas) just in front of the resort (that has also a pool for guest), one night at Sentrim Safari Lodge in Amboseli (this is a tended camp really very good) and 1 night at Ngulia Safari Lodge in Tsavo West, also in this case a pool (for the animlas) just behind of the resort (that has also a pool for guest) - we spent nice days, every locations have the swimming pool so you can relax between the morning and afternoon safaris. We had good lunch and dinner (and naturally breakfast) , maybe food speaking VOY was a little bit under the level of the others.
Reliability: very good, we have a problem with our car, so unfortunately we lost time but, thanks to our EXCELLENT Driver it was fixed promptly.
I repeat Abdullah was perfect ! The jeep that we have seemed brad new, so we were only unlucky.

Excellent service
I send a message to several operator, but Netherken was only one who really read and answer my question and gave personalized answer. It was easy choice for me. Our co-operation worked very well but unfortunately there was 2 quite big things what I'm not pleased.
1. I choose traveling to the Fig Tree camp by airplane. When I was returning back to Nairobi, plane didn't come at all and there was nobody on the airstrip who knows anything what to do. Mombasa air didn't inform us anyhow to the hotel or there was not anybody answering for us what we should do. Netherken's number didn't answer. I still don't know how, but we got 2 pilot's who bring we back to Nairobi just 1,5 hours late.
It's not so big thing, but somehow they should inform customers if there is technical problems and delays.
2. Don't by any extras beforehand!
I bought also Hot balloon safari many months before. It was mistake.
I get ill there (stomach ailment from the first lunch). Cause I couldn't leave bathroom at all, I couldn't go to the flight.
I was not happy when I heard that they will not return my money even they were selling those hot balloon flights there in Fig Tree Camp all the time for next morning every day. I mean, they didn't have to say anybody that all flights are sold out, and that way they didn't loose any new customer because of my illness. I feel it was not fair.
I didn't get it even from travel insurance cause I didn't understand that I should get doctor. Reception said that it's in Nairobi so I didn't think it's necessary after 1,5 days yet.
So don't buy any extras beforehand, you can get them later on the camp as well!
The Fifth Tree Camp is beautiful and very nice place and 1 game drive I had possible to join was amazing!
I can recommend that even my 2 deplorable experiences.
As well I can recommend Netherken as well. I'm sure they will develop communication between Mosambik air, The Fig Tree Camp and Netherken itself.
