Professional! Friendly! Knowledgeable!
My wife and I booked this trip 2 weeks before our departure. We visited Kenya and did a safari trip with Kenya safaris holiday (current name is - journeysbeyondafrica)
Simon is the tour operator and I’ve been talking to him daily for 2 weeks. He is extremely accommodating and would do all the research that we want and get back to me. He is very professional and extremely helpful. After booking everything we changed our hotels/itinerary etc but he never said no to anything and accommodated all our requests
Lastly, our guide Peter was amazing. He was with us for all 7 days and he is just amazing. He is patient, polite, friendly and knowledgeable. We spotted everything and Peter played a huge part in it. Peter has been doing this for over 10 years and he is very experienced with everything. He even knows the hotel staff and their drivers which makes it easy to communicate when you are on a game drive if they spot something else. We throughly enjoyed with Peter. We got more than our expectations from him and Simon.
If you are doing a long driving safari and jumping place to place within Kenya then look no further and book with Simon and ask for PETER!!
This was an awesome experience. Hope this review helps whoever is reading this and planning a Kenya vacation.

Excellent organization! Ponctual and friendly stuff.
Following the good suggestions of the safari planner we have combined the 3 day Masai Mara safari with the Hell’s gate biking safari.
Well organized, we didn’t loose any time waiting at the park entrance or at the bike rental shop.
Along the road Simon gave us some explanations about the place and animals we have seen. The presence of the jeep driving behind us gave me a feeling of security especially when the bunch of wild buffaloes decided to cross our way.
It’s about 7 km bike ride but if you don’t feel like riding the bike back, you can still hop on the jeep and go back by car.
Although I recommend to bike both ways, you will get to see many wild animals in the open space.

Hells Gate National Park
I was absolutely satisfied with this tour. Simon was an excellent and responsive communicator in preparation of the tour. He kindly waited for me as I made it past customs and was ready to meet me outside the airport to begin my adventure. Simon was very professional and knowledgeable but also very friendly. I was on a solo tour but the whole time I felt like I was hanging out with a friend. I did the biking portion through Hells Gate national park and I highly recommend it. Further, Hells Gate itself is gorgeous and a must see during a trip to Nairobi. I enjoyed this experience very much and when I return to Nairobi I will make sure to book my next adventure with Simon and Kenya Safaris Holiday

Solo Safari at Nairobi National Park
Even before I had decided to book this trip, I had been chatting with Simon the owner of the business over WhatsApp, He was very helpful and very quick at responding. I was worried at first about it being a solo booking and a female that it might be a mistake. But I am so glad I booked it, it was worth the extra cost. I had the whole van to myself and I could move around freely in the vehicle. I was met by Sammy at my hotel very promptly and we were at the park and in by 7am. Within five minutes of being in the park we were watching a pack of lion hunting buffalo. It was incredible. Then we drove around and I got to see the landscape away from the rest of the crowds! I was worried that it would be very much like follow the leader and to see who could get the closest the the animals. But not at all we were by ourselves for the most of the time. We saw so many different types of animal and even got to see a rare black rhino! Sammy was very informative about the animals. After about 5 hours in the pack we made our way back to my hotel. I would recommend this company again for sure and perhaps if I am ever back in Kenya again I would try out some of the other locations.

Simon is the epitome on professionalism
The experience was wonderful. We learnt a lot about the gorges at Hell's gate through Simon. Everything the tour promised was delivered above and beyond. The tour, the food, the information, the resources were all top notch. Keep up the good job Simon. Very understanding and cool person.

Excellent
Our safari was well organized, we had communication on the itinerary and advise on what to wear and bring well in advanced. The Company was able to manage our group and was happy to tailor our trip to our needs. Overall the service from the company and our guide, Simon, was exceptional.
