magnificent safari
My husband and i really enjoyed travelling with Kiboko Kenya. Our 5 days safari was the best experience, Lake nakuru National Park, Maasai mara and Amboseli National park. Clare never got tired of our questions, she described everything in details as we required. Our expectations were really fulfilled. We would recommend Kiboko Kenya anytime.And we will definetly travel with our kids through them.

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

Great experience with Kiboko Kenya Safaris!
We had a great experience with Kiboko Kenya Safaris. Clare was extremely helpful and had excellent communication. We had a private guided tour for 2 persons in Kenya and Tanzania. In Kenya, we visited Lake Nakuru, Maasai Mara, and Lake Amboseli. Our guide, Lenny, was wonderful. He has a fantastic knowledge of the parks, and is extremely friendly. The Kenyan parks are outstanding. Our visit to Tanzania was good, but the parks we visited (Serengeti and Ngorongoro) definitely seemed to be more refined and catered to the more conservative tourists. But, that being said, they were still beautiful and we saw some amazing wildlife in each. Overall, we had a fantastic safari experience!

Very professional safari company with good ideas leading to a great experience.
We dealt with Clare from Kiboko who was helpful and professional from the start. We had to change lodges and timings a few times as Kenya Airways who were useless kept changing the flight times of our onward flights to Seychelles. Clare changed lodges and dealt with the safari link flights to and from Nairobi and between lodges. She responded promptly and recommended lodges that we really enjoyed. We will certainly use Kiboko again when we return to Kenya.

Amazing experience from start to finish!
We had a fantastic 5-day safari with Kiboko in Feb 19. Claire was always on hand to discuss the trip before we left and had organised everything whilst we were there perfectly! Lenny, our guide, was brilliant and so knowledgeable about the animals. We learnt so much and it was lovely to meet him and learn more about the Masai. It’s difficult to imagine how it could have been any better, the trip of a lifetime!!

The highest standard of commitment and professionalism paired with deep local knowledge and passion
I was incredibly impressed with the standard and attention to detail of the service we received from Clare in setting up the trip.
We were able to customise the trip completely and get door to door pick ups and drop offs that were many hours drive away.
Our guide Lenny was highly professional and knowledgeable, while also having a great sense of humour and being a pleasure to spend time with.
Lenny's passion for the wildlife and the areas we visited really brought the trip to life. The one time there was a slight accommodation issue (not due to Kiboko) he went well beyond the line of duty to get it sorted quickly.
Finally I thought the trip was excellent value, given we had a 4x4 for just the two of us and complete service throughout the 4.5 days.
Kiboko Kenya Safaris are a class act.

Well-organized tour with high level of professionalism at an economical cost
We planned our Kenya trip at the last minute to see the Migration. Most of the tour operators declined quoting no availability. The ones who shared availability quoted exorbitant rates. Kiboko was the only one that stood out on both accounts. They have availability & were one of the lowest quotes we had received. Communications with Clare (the Kiboko representative) were mostly on email.
We never had any problem getting out point across to her. She was kind enough to adjust the itinerary based on our request & also give us the hotels we asked for. Once we reached, we never had to worry about our transfers, pickups etc. The driver/ guide was always arranged for us. All the hotels were excellent. Every small detail had been taken care of, e.g., picnic meal on the full day safari.
Clare was also available on Whats App & call whenever we needed her. The level of professionalism of Kiboko was high. I can safely say it exceeded our expectations. The safaris were well conducted. Our safari driver/ guide, Alfred, understood what we wanted to see & ensured we did not miss out on anything. He was quite knowledgeable & imparted a lot of information about animals, birds & Kenya to us.
All our other drivers - Wilfred, Abdul & Charles - were nice & polite too. The only one negative of our trip was when we left Nairobi to get to Masai Mara. In a bid to overtake a lorry, we almost had a head on collision with an oncoming vehicle. We feel this could have been avoided by our driver if he was not trying to overtake hastily. Nonetheless, after this episode, he drove more carefully.

Extremely responsive management team and an outstanding driver.
We were very pleased with Kiboko Safaris from start to finish. Clare was extremely responsive throughout the planning process and worked hard to tailor the safari to our needs and desires. The driver she selected for us, Lenny, was amazing. Friendly, knowledgable and understanding of our desires from the trip, he did any excellent job teaching us and showing us around the country. We felt that their dedication to customer service was unmatched. Their company comes highly recommended by us for any family interested in taking a safari in Kenya.
