Safariline fully delivered on an the expectations I had and more - great value for money
5/5

Best Safari I've been on.
Safariline Defender Tours Provided a Thrilling Opportunity to Explore the Maasai Mara. Our guide did an amazing job, both getting to the park and driving through the park. He was able to find all Big 5 as well as a cheetah hunting a wildebeest (Whoa! What an alluring experience, Looked like in the "The land of Big Cats - Disney"), hundreds of giraffes, zebras, hippos and all kinds of antelopes, all in the same day! The accommodations exceeded our expectations with a good hot water shower.. Rose and her group have my deepest gratitude.

flawless
5/5

The safari tour is not cheap, so I applied after much consideration. I contacted more than 20 companies, and excluded tour companies that reply slowly or have poor safari plans. Then there were about three tour companies left, and finally I chose Safari line defender. There were three reasons to choose. 1. It's cost-effective. 2. The connection with Rose is good. 3. Overall, the reviews are good. In fact, I was worried because the location was not properly registered on Google Maps, and Rose felt rather little bit blunt than friendly. As a result, it was the right choice. There was nothing lacking in the tour, but I could enjoy safari more than I expected. I recommend this tour company. I would also like to thank Rose for her meticulous work.

Excellent service; complete value for the price charged
5/5

Rose and David were exceptionally good ; we have no complaints. The tour is excellent for budget travelers; hotels are good for the price offered. David is excellent at spotting animals and tells a lot of details about each of them. Recommend them for everyone who wishes to explore masai mara without a huge dent in their wallets.

2 days Masai Mara - road trip & safari experience
4/5

Initially while booking this trip i had requested for some changes in the itinerary as some of our friends were flying back early & it was planned accordingly with a reasonable price USD 200 per person (group of 5). Rose came to pick us up at the airport shows her dedication towards clients. Next day early morning we were off to Masai Mara in a VAN which was a bit old & you can hear the loud sound of shaky windows specially when the journey reaches the bumpy part, however it wasn't too bad if your not traveling with kids because you get to see nice views and animals even before reaching national reserve (6 hours journey). By mid day afternoon we reached our camp miti mingi eco camp, we were warmly welcomed by camp staff & get to choose the tents as we wanted. Lunch at the camp was a bit disappointing, no choices specially for those that doesn't eat red meat although the chef PAPA made it up for Dinner & next day breakfast. Its advisable to request the food preferences in advance. The best & most amazing part was the national reserve game drive, our driver James was the best loads of experience & all the requests were fulfilled as we saw almost everything with close encounters. We were very lucky that day :)

Overall good experience, dedication to improve the experience. It can be better the with few fixes.
I will definitely refer safari line defender to my friends.

Friendly staff, professional service
5/5

They offered the cheapest price for Safari and the price was worth the experience. The communication was really good with the staff and they were really friendly. We just regretted that we only had 1 night 2 days safari because we realized that safari without a whole day game drive doesn't make much sense. We could only see 2 of the big five because we only had afternoon and a morning game drive. Anyway, it's another reason to come back.

The review below is the personal opinion of Jason and not that of SafariBookings.
bumpy road
3/5

On the whole, this was a decent experience.
We weren't aware the road into Masai Mara was so incredibly bumpy, and with two small children and a pensioner on board, this was information that should have been passed on to us from the start as a matter of courtesy. The car itself was very loud and the windows were quite shaky, which of course was magnified during the bumpier parts of the journey.
There was a question about money and residency status that was problematic, but eventually resolved after a few talks on the phone.
Our stay at the eco-center was pleasant, the people were friendly, and the food was lovely.
Our driver was kind and knowledgable.
Because we had two young children with us, the morning outing on the 3rd day was scrapped.
Unless a different van was available, I don't think we would ride with Safariline again.

The customer care is really accomodative, they seem to know the environment they are working in,nice
4/5

Me and family were satisfied. The four wheel van was just superb, it made us feel insurmountable-- something about the tour guide.. I think he does not just simply want to be a guide - he possesses what the company is up to, just careful.
We had a really nice experience and my wife is already ambitious to be back soon. Something I have to mention as well is that we were adequately advised before leaving the city for our safari.
Thank you guys.

Massi Mara to Nakuru to Amboseli
4/5

The tour was well organised with the transport vehicle and drivers being excellent. We did the ballon ride in Ambesolie which is a must. Champagne breakfast to go with it in the bush was a real treat.
Remember if you are travelling around, these distances can result in long hours being spent in the land cruiser.
If you can afford an upgrade in accommodation go for it, as the food in the budget camps can be disappointing. Otherwise this is great value for money.
