Great and well-organised safari experience
We did the 7d6n tour package with Alligator Adventures from January 1 to 7 2024, visiting Amboseli NP, Lake Navaisha/Hell’s gate, Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru.
From the outset, Alligator Adventures stood out among the different operators with a professional proposal tailored to our specific needs and preferences. Meshack was easy to communicate with and swiftly answered any questions that we had before the trip.
The safari itself went smoothly. Joseph was a great and punctual driver and knowledgable guide, easily identifying the many different animals and birds that we encountered along the way.
As expected, the accommodations (lodges) during the safari were mostly basic, although the last lodge at lake Nakuru stood out in terms of overall quality (beware of trespassing baboons, however).
Overall, the safari was a wonderful experience that we enjoyed greatly. We would highly recommend a Alligator Adventures safari with Joseph to anybody in search of a well-organised and fun safari in Kenya.

Professional
I suggest alligator safari 100%. They are very good at their job . We weren't lucky enough tou see all the big 5 , but that wasn't a problem at all cause our guide Dennis was very good , providing us a safari full of adrenalin ,as we wanted it to be , and 4 days that will be unforgettable .Fisherman camp and AA lodge mara were the best stays , better than we could imagine . They are professional. Just make the click and do a safari with them .

Excellent safari professional for your adventure!
We booked a 6D5N tour including Amboseli, Lake Nakuru, Maasai Mara in December 2023.
The best season to visit the safari is July to September.
Even though we visited in a raining season, we still got a lot to see.
We saw all big fives except leopard. Leopards hate rains.
But we saw cheetah in Amboseli which was a big surprise! We heard that cheetah in Amboseli is very rare.
In the safari game drives, you need a great driver with skills and knowledge. Dennis is the one!
He’s with us during the whole game drives and showed us a lot. And he never stuck in the muddy roads in safari which happened to other drivers a lot(we went to help others when they’re stuck).
Everything is great during our trip!
However there are still some cons to share:
1. Never compromise the accommodations. We stayed in a cheap Chinese own hotel in Maasai Mara which had sh*tty hardware that makes us want to leave the hotel to safari. Make sure you do research before confirming the hotels with the agency.
2. Souvenir shops during the Highway are mostly scammers. Nothing has a price in the shop and they only negotiate in the end if you decide to buy it. The market in Nairobi has similar stuff wish a better price.
3. Maasai Mara village visit isn’t that worth it. It’s more like buying things in the village instead of seeing more culture. Do not recommend at all.
Big thanks to Meshack, who’s communicating with us for the trip and responsible for all stuff. He replied messages quickly and tried to satisfy our needs. He also helped us to find the market in Nairobi to do shopping. Without his great attitude and helps, I probably wouldn’t book the tour.
Highly recommend Alligator to anyone who wants to visit safari especially in kenya. They also offer trips to Tanzania and other African countries. They have professional people that can make your trip worth it.
Thank you Dennis and Meshack for making our trip amazing!

Amazing!
Going to keep this short and sweet: it was one of the best weeks i've ever had. Weather was perfect, saw The Big & Ugly 5, blasted Limp Bizkit over the country side and listen the stories about Kenya's history and of course, the animals from our wise and kind tour guide "ManuWolf". Rest of the time chilling at the pools and over eating at the buffets. Thanks guys for everything!

Smoothly executed first time safari
Looking back at the 7 day tour,
- we got the opportunity to see the expected wildlife at all parks luckily with good weather.
- we are very satisfied with the quality, servi es, food, entertainment at all the accommodation options we got to experience.
- among the optional additional experiences we chose: 1. Bomas of Kenya was very good, the cultural show was extremely energetic & impressive talent! 2. Visit to Maasai village was an 'unique' experience, but sad about the still existing 'chosen' quality of life there.
- overall, we are very glad that everything worked out smoothly from pick up to drop off.

Amazing safari trip! One of the best travel experience we had so far!
Our safari tour with alligator was one of the best experiences we have made. We have been picked up at the hotel in Nairobi and welcomed with a safari hat before leaving for our first destination at Amboseli-Nationalpark. We (me and my husband) booked a seven-days private tour and were not sure whether this would have been too much. But we have been astonished by the beauty of the landscape and animal sightings in Kenya that we could have continued even after 7 days. One crucial factor for success of our tour was definitely our guide Manu. His super friendly character and easy going personality combined with his 13 years of safari-experiences made this trip unforgettable. We have been provided with mineral water frequently and he always interacted with us to make sure that we are alright. In the national parks he provided us with lots of informations about the animals and answered all our questions that we had. He has the great ability to spot animals and especially to find the best place for the Jeep to stop and watch them. Although we are fully aware that animal sightings also depend on luck, Manu did a fantastic job when a great opportunity for animals sightings was approaching. We were able to watch all Big-Five (even close-ups!) as well as hippos, zebras, giraffes, antilopes, cheetahs, crocodiles etc. We highly recommend Alligator Adventures and Manu for the safari experience in Kenya!

Very accommodating, hygienic, comfortable, attention to detail
When you go to a country for the first time, you are little skeptical about the place and people but Alligator safaris made everything smooth and comfortable from Day1.
You will get to see all the wildlife with other operators as well but when someone gives you that wram experience, it feels good throughout your trip.
Thanks to Meshak who listened to our requirements and modified the itinerary couple of times. They know what they are into, trust their suggested places of stays.. they were comfortable hygienic.
Cherry on the cake was our guide/driver/ and later co-traveler Joseph, who always stopped at less crowded spots, clean washrooms, made sure of our comfort. Even with vehicle breakdown, he made sure we reach timely and safely to our destinations. There are people who go extra mile to meet the needs and make everything fun, Joseph is one of them.
Asante to the team!!

Well planned trip but choice of accomodation was poor
It was a memorable week in Kenya considering a first time experience with African Safari. However, things didnt turn out the way it was expected. Firstly poor accomodation choices haunted the stay with no power in accomodations at Amboseli and Masai Mara where we sometimes woke up in pitch dark rooms in the middle of the night and couldnt charge our camera and mobile devices. On top that we had zero to poor sightings of the main 4 (Lion, Leopard, Cheetah and Rhino) which may be our bad luck or poor guide routes not sure. Also extreme long road trips every day were very tiring. I would suggest spend a couple of days or more at each location to get proper sightings as well as better rest between game drives.

Immaculate itinerary and fully trustworthy
I found this company through the Safari bookings website.. it was 1 of 3 quotes I received. By the way the company communicated and offered a professional itinerary which was spot on to my request, I knew this was the best choice.
The itinerary was super professionally presented and at a very fair price.. in the end everything that was said and promised was delivered perfectly.
I felt comfortable through out the experience with everyone involved.
We combined Mt.Kenya, Naivasha, Nakuru and massai mara, the logistics were worked out so very well.
Highly recommended trusted experienced company with great friendly professional guides.
Thank you for making my dream a reality!

The best safari experience
We were given a 6 day/5 night tour.
The destinations were Amboseli, Nakuru, and Masai Mara.
I was relieved that the pick up was on time.
We traveled with two small children and they were very flexible to accommodate our children's situation.
We had a car breakdown problem on the way, but backup arrived immediately and there were no delays in our itinerary.
The agent and driver were friendly and wonderfully responsive to our needs.
The vehicle was cleaned each day and was very comfortable.
We were able to see all the Big Five.
We would use them again if we go on another safari tour.
