Top notch tour company with excellent communication!
Seven of us booked a two week safari with Safari Line Defender Tours. We started in Arusha and ended in Nairobi, visiting all the significant parks in northern Tanzania and southern Kenya. Our accommodations included a variety of tented camps and hotels. For the entire trip we were provided with sturdy Land Rovers and several guide-drivers, all of whom knew the best locations in each park for locating wildlife. By radio and phone the guides stayed in constant contact with the other guides in the parks so they knew immediately where to take us to see the most exciting sightings. This usually involved the big cats but also included the mass migration of wildebeest and other great wildlife scenes. Over the course of the two weeks there were really too many highlights to mention.
We spent a full year getting this trip organized and throughout that time I was in frequent email/WhatsApp contact with Rose Muthoni, the company co-founder. Her communication was always fast (within hours or less) and helpful. All details were easily attended to. Aside from wildlife viewing, the food was good and abundant throughout.
One detail to pay attention to when booking is to make certain that the maximum number of passengers in the Land Rover is seven and not eight so that every person gets a window seat.
From start to finish this safari was smooth sailing! I highly recommend this company for quality and competency.

Dependable and reliable
Great value for the trip. My flight got delayed and rose send a driver to wait for me to catch the others. My baggage was delayed to the day after, rose helped me out and got it with everything in. The drivers helped me got the daily goods on the way.
I ordered a 7day trip with a jeep. The jeep experience was great, the drivers are pretty experienced. The food is local and the camp is cool, way better than I expected.

A breathtaking Kenya_Tanzania safari with safari line defender tours
My partner and I just returned from an extraordinary 13-day Kenya-Tanzania safari with Safariline Defender Tours, and it was an experience we'll never forget. As a couple seeking both adventure and relaxation, this trip exceeded all our expectations.
From the outset, Rose, our main point of contact, was instrumental in making this journey flawless. Her attention to detail, prompt communication, and deep knowledge of the region ensured that every aspect of our trip was perfectly planned and executed. Whether it was our specific requests or last-minute adjustments, Rose handled everything with grace and efficiency.
Our itinerary was nothing short of spectacular. We began our journey in the Masai Mara during the Great Migration, witnessing one of the most awe-inspiring natural events on the planet. From there, we ventured to the unique and rugged landscapes of Samburu, where we encountered wildlife that can’t be seen anywhere else. Amboseli was our next stop, where we were treated to breathtaking views of Mount Kilimanjaro and remarkable elephant sightings.
Crossing into Tanzania, we explored the endless plains of the Serengeti, where the wildlife encounters continued to amaze us. We also spent time at the stunning Ngorongoro Crater, a true wonder of the natural world. Each destination offered something unique, and the seamless transitions between them made the journey feel effortless.
The lodges and camps we stayed at were luxurious yet connected to nature, providing us with the perfect balance of comfort and adventure. The views were stunning, the service impeccable, and the entire experience was tailored to ensure we enjoyed both the thrill of the wild and the serenity of the landscapes.
For any couple looking to embark on a once-in-a-lifetime safari, I can't recommend Safariline Defender Tours enough. This Kenya-Tanzania adventure was everything we hoped for and more, thanks to Rose and Mwangi. We’ve returned home with memories that will last a lifetime.

A familly safari adventure made perfect by safariline defender tours
Our recent family safari with Safariline Defender Tours was nothing short of perfect. Traveling with my husband and our 4-year-old child, we were initially concerned about finding a safari that would be both exciting and comfortable for all of us. However, Safariline exceeded our expectations from the start.
Our trip included 2 days in the stunning Masai Mara and 3 days in the awe-inspiring Amboseli. The entire journey was seamless, thanks in large part to Rose, who was our main point of contact. Her impeccable Safari Company, prompt communication, and thoughtful planning were key to the success of our trip. She truly made sure every detail was covered, allowing us to relax and enjoy every moment.
The safari itself was incredible. Our guide was patient, knowledgeable, and fantastic with our child, making sure he was engaged and excited throughout the journey.
The accommodations were family-friendly, with beautiful views and excellent service. The staff at each lodge made us feel welcome, and the experience was both safe and adventurous. Seeing the Big Five up close, exploring the vast landscapes, and enjoying the rich culture were highlights we will never forget.
If you're looking for a family-friendly safari that combines adventure, comfort, and outstanding service, I highly recommend Safariline Defender Tours. Thanks to Rose and the incredible team, this was a journey our family will cherish forever.

The Ultimate Safari Experience: Comfort, Adventure, and Spectacular Service
I recently completed a 10-day Magical Kenya Safari with Safariline Defender Tours, and as someone who has been on more than five safaris, I can confidently say this was one of the most magical experiences I've had.
From the moment I inquired about the trip, the communication with Rose was seamless. She was incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, and ensured every detail was taken care of.
The itinerary was perfectly curated, taking me from the iconic Masai Mara to the stunning Lake Nakuru National Park, then to the unique landscapes of Samburu, the serene beauty of Lake Naivasha, and finally, the majestic Amboseli.
What truly set this safari apart was our guide Jeff. Friendly, professional, and deeply passionate about the wildlife and landscapes of Kenya, he made each day an adventure. His expertise and ability to spot wildlife, share interesting facts, and ensure we were always in the right place at the right time made the experience even more special.
The 4x4 Land Cruiser provided for the journey was incredibly comfortable, even during the long drives between parks. It was well-equipped with everything we needed for a smooth and enjoyable ride, ensuring that the sometimes challenging terrain was never an issue.Every lodge and camp we stayed at was top-notch, offering a great mix of comfort, incredible views, and excellent service.
The entire trip was well-organized, with smooth transitions between destinations, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the beauty of Kenya without any worries.If you're looking for a safari that combines excellent service, knowledgeable guides, a well-planned itinerary, and a comfortable, well-equipped vehicle, Safariline Defender Tours is an excellent choice. Whether it's your first safari or your tenth, they have a way of making it feel like the adventure of a lifetime.

Safari line defenders, especially our driver, Freddie gave us an incredible experience!
Safari line defender tours were amazing for us. My husband and I did a 3 day private safari at Amboseli. We asked if they could pick us up from Diani and then drop us off afterwards in Nairobi and they were happy to do so! They organized every part of the travel, got us a driver, booked us train tickets, and had our driver waiting for us when we arrived to drive us to Amboseli. Before the trip, they communicated with us well and clearly and responded very fast. Safaris are just expensive, but we felt like this one was a little more affordable while still providing everything we wanted! We were more than happy.
We had Freddie as our driver and he was incredible! He helped us find everything we wanted to see and did an amazing job getting us to the front of the group when there was a crowd looking at something. He was relaxed and not stressful and helped us feel right at home. He was what made our actual safari experience amazing.
We stayed at Nyati camp, and had a great experience there as well! They were flexible to give us meals when we needed them and packed us lunches on our full day safari.
At Amboseli, we had a great experience! We saw every type of animal you could see there. We saw Lions and Cheetahs (and 5 cubs!) multiple times. We saw such magnificent elephants and giraffes.

Well-organised small business who coordinated all our transport and accommodation in a hybrid tour
Rose made all the arrangements, ensuring we were taken care of from our arrival to our departure. We were collected at the airport, taken to the office to finalise payments, then driven to Nakuru via Lake Naivasha for the first two days as a private tour (just the two of us and our driver/guide, Joseph). After an overnight in Nakuru we drove to the Maasai Mara, joining up with several others on the way. We spent two nights at Miti Mingi camp and enjoyed game drives in the Mara before continuing on our itinerary. We travelled via Nairobi (on the day of protests - as seen on world news), with a change of vehicle and driver/guide (Moses) to Amboseli. We spent two nights at Nyati Safari Camp and had game drives in Amboseli. We were then driven to Namanga border crossing and assisted with exit from Kenya and entry to Tanzania before being driven to Arusha where we stayed at the Charity Hotel. Next morning we were collected by Amani and, together with a small group, drove to Ngorongoro and Serengeti. We had game drives in the Serengeti and in the Ngorongoro Crater, spending one night at Shuhudia Adventure Camp and the next at Rhino Lodge. Both were excellent. Finally we returned to Arusha and our last night at the Charity Hotel. Next morning we were collected and put on the shuttle back to Nairobi and our flight home. Despite a few small hiccups (such as the shuttle breaking down about half way back to Nairobi) and the disturbance caused by the protests against the proposed finance bill, we had a good safari and saw plenty of animals and birds. The guides were informative and helpful and the whole thing was well-organised by Rose in Nairobi.
