Great service
5/5

I recently undertook 3 trips in Kenya with Kiboko Kenya Safaris and was very impressed with their service. The pickup service was always on time. The staff very professional. Most impressive was Clare's "instant" response to your mails and wishes. I have been travelling around Kenya for years and have never encountered such a service before. Keep up the good work.

Best tour experience ever! You will be impressed!
5/5

We are a group of seven girls travelling to Kenya and Tanzania, and we had the best experience with Kiboko. The agency is very responsive and Claire gives us a lot of helpful tips before the trip. Our guide is Dexter and he is absolutely amazing. He speaks English really well and knows so much about local culture and animals. He brought us to see amazing animals and was always so fast in spotting the lions, leopards and any animal actions. He is very humorous and always made us laugh. We all felt so sad when we had to say goodbye and I would definitely come back to him for another Safari trip.

Kiboko and its tour guides are professional and thoughtful and responsible!
5/5

We love our trip with Kiboko and our tour guides. I did many online research and narrowed my selection to 7 travel agencies. After several rounds of email conversations, I chose Kiboko because 1) it offered me the best value in price (eg, the same hotel packages, their price is lower than other big-name agencies), 2) Clare is very patient to answer all of my questions and change the itinerary for several times based on our request. 3) Even though Kiboko is a small agency, which only has ~40 reviews online, all the reviews look good and positive. Based on those reasons, we signed our contract with Kiboko.

During the trip, we had Dexter in Kenya and Moses in Tanzania as our tour guides. Both of them worked as tour guides for 16-18 years and are very knowledgeable about those animals. They know where and when to find those animals. We saw lions hunting, elephants fighting, animal mating, baby feeding, and many other animal activities all you can imagine. At first, I was concerned if I really need 8 days safari since I saw all of those animals on Day 1. However, every day of our trip was different and exciting! The hotels are great in both environment and service. The food options (most of the meals are buffet) are much better than our expectations. The hotel staffs are also friendly and thoughtful. They helped us to celebrate our friend's birthday surprisedly. They tried their best to meet all of our requests, such as playing Disney Lion King as a movie night.

Thanks to Kiboko, Clare, Dexter, and Moses, for giving us the best safari experience! We highly recommend booking with them!

Knowledge, humorous, driven, professional, you can use all these words to describe Dexter as a guide
5/5

Clare as our tour coordinator has been very patient in answering all our questions. Dexter as our guide has been the reason to a successful, fun-filled safari. He always had his ears and eyes on the seeking of wildlife, very committed in providing the best experience to everyone onboard throughout the trip, a great photographer, and he’s always on top of the itinerary while accommodating for our needs. The tour itself was amazing. Together with the second half of the trip in Tanzania led by our other amazing guide Moses, the trip was filled with surprising moments such as seeing the lions mating, giraffes necking, and numerous hunting scenes. Also got to see black rhinos in the wild! While all of these highlights depend on your luck, a good guide would significantly increase your chance of spotting them.

The team at Kioboko Kenya are capable, attentive and fun - great people to spend time with who will
5/5

The safari went off without a hitch!
First the car was spacious, well appointed and nearly new - an HZJ79 Toyota Land Cruiser with a locally-made safari body!
Second, Dexter was our guide and driver and what he doesn't know about Kenyan parks, animals, birds, highways and byways is probably not worth knowing!
Dexter is a principal in Kiboko and he and his partner Claire had planned the whole trip to meet our specifications.
Third, we wanted to visit ou-of-the-way parks and lodges while searching out old family connections - schools, farms, etc.
We were so impressed with the Way Dexter and Clare managed our changing whims with grace, good humor and efficiency.
We were not disappointed with any of
the accommodation they recommended!
Dexter and Clare were reliable and great to deal with. We thoroughly recommended Kiboko for your next safari.

Efficient and high quality service for a great experience
5/5

The booking process went well with a detailed offer, a quick reaction on our questions and updates. Clare was very reactive and professional.
We have asked for a French speaking guide and we were not disappointed. Our guide was knowledgeable, attentive, punctual and very nice.
We had no bad surprise with the lodge booking. Service was excellent, places were amazing and our stay have been great. Our safari experience was top class. We enjoyed a lot.

Knows how to make 2 days seem like a week ~ in a good way!
5/5

Dexter was our guide for 2 days on the Maasi Mara, he knew better than us what we really needed for our two days and delivered. Very knowledgeable about the reserve, the animals, their names and the land. A good communicator who answered all of our questions, very friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend Dexter for you next safari guide!
