A nicely arranged trip where everything worked as expected.
I think it will be difficult to find an equally well-arranged safari for a lower price. For 300 USD (or 30.000 KSh, in our case), we got transport, accommodation, meals, and three days of guided safari (evening + full day + morning). The arrangements are not luxurious, but absolutely fine. Simple beds, Kenyan foods and bumpy roads are just perfect to me.
While some people in our group (who had booked through another company) were annoyed that their itinerary did not correspond with what they actually got, everything in ours was spot-on. They even managed to handle our weird food preferences with only a little confusion (vegan, gluten-free). Rose at the Safariline Defenders is very accommodating and helped answering all our questions before the trip.
When it comes to the safari, a lot depends on luck, but the guides communicate via radio and will make a good effort to show you what there is for the day. We saw lions, elephants, buffalos, hippos and giraffes up close, plus all the beautiful gazelles and other stuff. We were also lucky to have very nice company in our car!

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.

Great 7-day safari
I did a 7-day tour with Safari Line Defender covering Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, and Amboseli National Park. It was a fantastic and positive experience. Rose was quite helpful as soon as I booked, constantly keeping me informed and asking how she could help. She even got me a discounted hotel booking and arranged all the airport taxis. The safari itself was busy and well planned. We had a very good guide, Patrick "Papa". He was knowledgeable, warm and very patient. All the arrangements worked well. The main issues in my safari were the state of the roads leading to the Maasai Mara and the traffic jams to Amboseli (between Nairobi and Mombasa). These need to be factored into all plans, but they are Kenya Government issues rather than the fault of the safari company. The campsites (at Maasai Mara and Amboseli) and the hotels at Nakuru and Naivasha were as expected for a budget tour. This was my first time in Kenya and it is a beautiful country, blessed with great wildlife and natural resources. Thanks Rose and Patrick for a great experience and I would definitely recommend this company.

Excellent! Simply the best!
I just had to write this today, in this moment, while we are still having fun with safariline team. Today, 3rd Feb 2024, they brought us for a safari at Kitengela glass+leleshwa tour & it is the best experience I have had in a long time. I really love their service & the way they organized the entire trip, especially it being a group trip. I highly recommend them & see you next summer. Thank you Rose & your entire safariline team.

Excellent family-friendly safari with plenty of variety and all the Big 5 (and the ugly 5!) spotted!
Having done plenty of research, based on the reviews, variety offered and value, we chose Safari Line Defender for our family 7-day safari of Masai Mara, lake Nakuru, lake Naivasha and Amboseli.
Rose was outstanding in organising and communicating throughout. She adjusted our itinerary to suit our children (age 10 and 8) including family rooms throughout and 2 free upgrades to hotels with pools for them to enjoy. She arranged our transfers to and from the airport at an excellent price as well.
Clinton our Safari guide was friendly, organised, professional and a brilliant driver. We always felt safe, and he got us closer to the animals than any of the other tour cars!
We saw all the big 5 (including the rare leopard) and enjoyed a boat trip, a walking and cycling Safari as part of our tour for a pre-agreed extra cost. We were well-fed throughout, and made friends with the other tourists sharing the van on our tour.
The only down-side were a couple of long drives between national parks (so bring plenty of car activities if you have kids). Our kids were fine with this, and it was definitely worth it to see the best bits of Kenya.
We would highly recommend this safari to any other families!

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