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.

Fast response, friendly staff, feel safe as a solo traveler
Rose and team were always helpful during my entire journey as a solo traveler - very quick response (not a single minute) and they always tried to provide a satisfactory solution when there was anything unclear… I learned that communication is the key when doing safari tour especially as you might be with people from
different tour providers in a vehicle, at first it was confusing but Defender team would guide you along the way very well!
Thanks for the amazing trip!

The Big and Ugly 5
We were incredibly lucky to see the big and ugly 5 during our trip to Kenya and the national parks. Caleb “KingFisher” our tour guide is an amazingly friendly and knowledgeable person. I don’t think it would have been possible for us to complete this wonder feat without him. Communication before and during the trip was smooth and reliable. At the end of every day we knew exactly what we had plan for the following day. I would recommend this trip to friends and family 10 out of 10! Thanks for a trip of a lifetime!!

Our tour operator went the extra mile and cared greatly about giving us the best experience possible
I would highly recommend Defenders Safari. Our guide Caleb was kind, informative, and genuinely passionate about providing the best experience for the people and animals. He was an excellent driver and very punctual. I felt that we got a great value for our money. I will definitely recommend this company and our guide to our friends and family. We plan on using this tour operator when we return to Africa. They were quick to communicate with us and easily made adjustments when needed. 10/10!

Freddie, the tour guide, demonstrated exceptional expertise and enthusiasm.
I had an incredible experience with Safari Line Defender during my 2-day, 1-night trip to the Masai Mara.
From the moment I booked, the communication and organization were impeccable.
The tour guide provided by Safari Line Defender, named Freddie, was outstanding. Freddie's extensive knowledge of the area, combined with his passion for wildlife, added a rich layer to the safari.
The accommodations were comfortable, and the itinerary was well-paced, allowing us to witness the beauty of the Masai Mara and its wildlife.
I highly recommend Safari Line Defender for their professionalism, expertise, and commitment to delivering an unforgettable safari experience.
