Perfect!
Our experience with Netherken Safari was perfect!
They were flexible with the itinerary (we started in Mombasa and they dropped us at a train station so we could go to Nairobi at the end of the safari).
They were really good value for money, they found us good balance between quality and budget for accomodation and we were able with them to do the trip with a jeep rather than a minibus.
Our driver was perfect, very nice, qualified and attentive. Thank you to him!
We did another safari in Kenya, with another agency, so I can really recommend this one, it was perfect overall!

A very nice safari
We booked a 3 day safari to Maasai Mara. Ton was extremely responsive and helpful when planning and even changing dates and the amount of people along the way ( we exchanged over 50 emails which he answered all my questions everytime). Pick up and drop off were smooth and very punctual. The guide we got (George) was great and knew exactly where to go to see all the animals. He was a great driver and really knew his way around the park. He also knew a lot about the animals. The fig tree lodge was great and exceeded all expectations.
Worth noting that there was a slight change from the itinerary we got which was supposed to include a romantic lunch in the park but was only a lunchbox in the car along the way (but this could have been because we opted for a full day tour on day 2 instead of 2 separate runs). The other thing we were slightly surprised at was the game drive on the morning of the last day was only a drive back to the gate which they cannot have the roof open as the vehicle is considered in transit. These were minor things overall we had a great experience and would book with Ton again.

Professional
Hello,
There was a slight mix-up with the pick-up time and the Maasai village, but otherwise the service was excellent.

Professional and smooth
I went with 3 friends, we’re all from the UK 🇬🇧 and loved every moment of this excursion. It was well organised from start to finish. Our driver Maro was lovely and provided us with bottled water inside the vehicle 🚐 All the lodges we stayed at had pretty views ⛰️ and tasty food 🍽️ Hospitality and comfort of the room at the second accomodation was particularly impressive 🛌 We were in close contact with 4 of the big 5 animals but didn’t get to see a rhino, as they’re rare 🦏

An Unforgettable Family Safari Adventure in Kenya
This was our first time in Kenya, and overall it was a very positive experience for our family.
We truly appreciated the professionalism, reliability, and punctuality of Netherken Safaris & Tours. The organization was excellent from start to finish, and everything went smoothly according to plan. The places we visited were beautiful and gave us the opportunity to experience Kenya's incredible landscapes and wildlife.
A special mention goes to our guide during the game drives. He was always available, knowledgeable, friendly, and willing to answer our questions and accommodate our needs. His support contributed significantly to making our safari enjoyable and memorable.
Before the trip, I did not fully understand the differences between the various parks. If I had known more, I would probably have included the Maasai Mara in our itinerary. Nevertheless, we were very satisfied with the destinations we visited.
If I could suggest one area for improvement, some of the game drives felt a little rushed at times. In our opinion, it can sometimes be better to see fewer places or animals but spend more time observing and enjoying them.
The lodges selected for us were of a good standard, comfortable, and well located. My entire family had a great time and felt very well looked after throughout the trip.
Overall, this was an excellent first safari experience in Kenya, and it is definitely something we would like to repeat in the future.
