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.

Superior Communication!
I first contacted Clare in April to help me plan a Kenyan safari. From the very beginning, she was extremely responsive, helpful and friendly. My partner had been extremely picky so Clare and I corresponded, I would say, almost 100 times via email to create the perfect itinerary. Throughout the whole process, Clare showed the utmost patience and was sincere in her desire to create the perfect trip for us. Unfortunately, we had to cancel last minute due to an unexpected personal matter and Clare continued to show compassion and understanding throughout the cancellation process. When we are ready to reschedule the trip, I will definitely be contacting Clare. She is a true pleasure to work with!

Kiboko has hired the best of the best to provide adventurists with bucket list experience!
We were fortunate to have Dexter as our private guide for the duration of our 7 day Kenyan safari. My husband and I were extremely impressed with how proficient and accommodating Dex was! In addition to locating the Big 5 (many times) and a variety of other majestic animals, he taught us so much about his beloved country, Kenya, and its people! We thoroughly enjoyed our experience and would request Dex 100 times over were we to go on another African Safari! If you decide to go on Safari with them, request Dex! You won’t be disappointed!
We arrived as tourists, and left as friends!

Great service
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!
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.

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