They chose the best places to stay out. Helped us maneuver the country and recommended safari locations that guaranteed value for money. Very polite staff and high class experience.

several setbacks that have occurred during the Safari.
On Monday the 13th, ten minutes after departing in the van from Nairobi, Catherine, an employee and intermediary of African Breeze Safari, informed us that we were beginning the safari in a different order without prior consultation with us. Furthermore, she mentioned that there was no availability at the hotel we had booked (AA Lodge Masai Mara) as she had not made the reservations yet. The contract explicitly states that we were required to pay 25% in advance to reserve the hotels (Payment made on June 2, 2023). Despite this, we were accommodated in Masai Mara Camp, which was significantly different from where we had paid to stay. We didn't have water for personal hygiene and had to purchase bottled water with our own money for brushing our teeth and even showering.
Additionally, we didn't have breakfast on the two days we stayed because the camp didn't have enough food for all the people accommodated. Two of our companions even had to share a room despite having paid for individual rooms due to lack of available space.
Due to the aforementioned issues, from the first night, we contacted Catherine in an attempt to find solutions and prevent the situation from worsening. However, instead of helping, she sent a message saying, and I quote, "please focus on positivity so you can enjoy your Safari."
As I mentioned earlier, we booked this safari 3-4 months in advance, paying 25% upfront to reserve the hotels. Therefore, this should have been arranged and resolved well in advance.
I would also like to note that none of the guides had our itinerary. On August 15th, we were supposed to have lunch at Nakuru Sopa Lodge, a hotel we had already paid for, but instead, we had lunch on the way at a self-service restaurant that was nothing like where we were supposed to eat. We arrived at the hotel at 8:00 PM, leaving us only time to have dinner and sleep before leaving the next day, not being able to make the most of its facilities (which is the reason we paid for good hotels, to enjoy the safari and also relaxation).
We informed our guide (Sam) about this incident, and he mentioned that he was unaware since he didn't even have the itinerary.
The following day, the Lake Nakuru safari was rushed and completed within an hour. We didn't have time to enjoy the morning and couldn't even open the roof of the car to better appreciate the views, as it was broken. Not to mention the multiple breakdowns of the car, which required several stops to fix.
On the same day, we stopped at a shopping center to eat, paying for everything ourselves, as the picnic mentioned in the guide was once again not available.

Certainly recommend this tours
Cate is a reliable and trustworthy African safari tour agent. I booked my safari with her online through Safari Booking from California, USA. It was my first time in Kenya and I wanted to make sure I was dealing with a reputable agent. Cate managed my trip professionally, and I had a wonderful experience. The budget I provided was worth it, and I would highly recommend Cate to anyone planning an African safari.

Great Service! Best operator
We had very nice time! Joseph picked us at the airport as expected & dropped us at our city hotel! Move n pick. Its a hotel in a nice location if you will be travelling for safari. we were so excited and couldn't wait to set off for our safari , eventually we did and Sammy was a great guide and a careful driver.
Our 7 days safari was the best experience ever, we saw the big five & we witnessed the lions hunting ! Everything went as planned, we were dropped off at a train station in Emali to transfer us to Mombasa! We will surely use the company again !
