Great memories!
Thank you very much for an amazing adventure we got this year. These guys are really professionals. Tom Ocharo, thank you for an excursion while we were waiting for safary start. Ask for an "Animal". He is very good driver and also guide and companion. During the first two days we found whole big five and a lot of other animals. I know that it depends on lucky, but all our team noticed that we got as much as possible. Also there were no hidden charges, no additional fees. Everything was clear.

Thanks for the excellent safari
We had safari with "Wild Safaris and travel" in at least 3 national parks - Maasai Mara, Nakuru and Naivasha and everywhere we had a wonderful time. We want to thank our drivers, who are big professionals. In all national parks we saw as much animals as possible, a lot of interesting animals behavior and even very rare animals for example leopard.
So, we really recommend this company if you are planning to go to Kenya

A great experience
I had a wonderful experience at Kenya Safari. The staff was nice and friendly. Tom greeted me at the airport and he is a fine man. Kind, easy going. The safari experience itself was very memorable. I still treasure the other guests I met on the way and the different ideas exchange. The trip was well organized. And everything turned out to be very pleasant. I would recommend Wild Safaris and Travel to anyone who wanted to have a great trip in Kenya. They rock!

Excellent service, amazing experience
This was my second tour with this group. This was an amazing experience. The tour guide was exceptional, was very social, he was very well informed about the area visited and also well informed on the various species of animals that we saw. All the geographical characteristics and habitats of animals were well articulated to us in a ver educative way, including the historical and cultural background of the amazing kenyantribes whuch co- exist with the diverse wildlife.
This was an amazing and awesome experience worth doing again and again. Thanks to the whole team.

A trip to recall
We did the trip to Maasai Mara and Nakuru back in 2013 and I still remember it like it was yesterday. The Company was very dependable and took care of us with professional character. We had the privilage to get to know the real Kenyan way of living with low budget and safe setting.
If you are looking for the real deal without any hasle, choose them!

Outstanding Value, Amazing Trip
Working in the industry I took quite a bit of time researching and selecting my tour company for my honeymoon. I managed to gain quite a bit of insider information about Wild Safari & Travel from contacts in the UK and Africa and heard nothing but positive reviews. Tom met my wife and I at the airport (something I had asked for and already had priced into our bespoke itinerary so we knew all the costs before departure) when we first arrived into Nairobi and the fantastic service continued from there. I would have absolutely no problem recommending Tom and his company and I would be happy to give a verbal or written reference or speak about our trip to anyone considering using the company. An absolute joy from start to finish.

4-Day-Safari-Eco-Camp (Group joining budget safari)
It was a great and very affordable safari trip. Big 5s are there!! And much much more
Individual ratings and why:
Safari transportation staff: 5 stars. Why? Our driver was extremely friendly, funny, spoke very well English and it was a pleasure riding in his van. (Name: Sammy)
Onsite-payment: 2 stars. Why? Besides the upfront payment online, the rest was enquired in cash; I thought it can be done via credit card. There was no information on cash payment (at least I don’t remember seeing this). This crashed our liquid money and we couldn’t by many presents after all.
Transportation: 4 stars. Why? There was some vehicle switching in the beginning and our luggage was in a different van, no big deal- but it’s always better to have your own luggage in the trunk behind you. It was guaranteed that the other vans will reach the same destination, but Africa is Africa.
Cars/Vans: 5 stars. Why? The van was always cleaned overnight (by our driver) and there was not one spot of dirt the next days. All trash items which were left behind during the day have been removed by the driver.
Eco-Camp: 3.5 stars. Why? The eco camp was fine, remember you stay in tents. The camp was very clean and the staff friendly. The only conflict was that there is only power (to charge electronic) for two hours in the morning and two hours in the evening. This not just only affected charging cameras or phones, it also affected the lights in the tents. Please bring flashlights and hang up in the tent, otherwise you run in the dark. Power in the morning was difficult (5-7am), you only get technically one hour of charging in, because the tours start at 6am. (We had a solar flashlight with USB connector; that means you can use the flashlight for light and the self-charging solar panel, you can re-charge your phone on the go).
Food: 5 stars. Why? The food provided in the camp was plenty and nothing exotic or odd. There are several choices to take from the buffet. Traveling with children, there was plenty they liked. The food on the road for an all day trip was packed and prepared with love. Nice things and plenty.
Water supply: 4 stars. Why? Since this is an all-meals-included safari, water goes with it. I believe it was 1 liter per person per day, which is pretty good and plenty. But, depending on from which operator you are booking from, the water might be at the camp or in one of the vans. Our water was not at the camp and in one of the vans, which had left the camp after we were dropped off. We made friends and borrowed a liter bottle from others to drink and to use for brushing teeth. That was not great organized, but manageable – since we were all one big family.
Again, I can only recommend this safari- it’s fun and a nice getaway; and we will do it again.
I went with my two children (13+14) –kids friendly (…. I must say that my two daughters are very well behaved, and know the rules)
One last note: We went in February- bring warm clothing. It gets real cold at night in the tent and game drives start at 6am; chill temps.
Don’t forget the pack some sun screen lotion, the sun gets strong during the day.

Very responsive agency that proposes tailor made services
The safari tour was above expectations. The services provided by the agency are tailor-made, and the whole staff is caring.
A wide variety of hotels and lodges were proposed, the van driver amiable and helpful
I definitely recommend Wild Safaris!

Good value for money - great experience
We (family of 5) did a seven-day tented safari tour with Wild Safaris & Travel in an open-roof 9 seater bus that we shared with another couple. The bus was rather old but convenient, we could see the wildlife very well. The driver/guide was friendly and knowledgeable. He did not speak a lot spontaneously, but he was always willing to answer questions and was open for suggestions. We must note that on one day, we did not feel safe in the bus (irresponsible overtaking on the road from Nairobi to Mombasa). After we asked to slow down, it did not happen that explicitely anymore.
All parks were amazing - packed with wildlife, we saw the big five and many more. The food was OK but a bit monotonuous, the camps were basic, but friendly. I can definitely reccommend this tour.
