Flexible, accomodating, personable, efficient, relational, professional unforgetable experience.
Communications included every last detail. No unpleasant surprises. I had used Great Horizon Trails previously and my wife and I had an excellent experience all the away around. This time there were four of us and again the service was top notch, accommodating to our schedule, personable, and again unforgettable. The accommodations were what was expected, the sites and animals beyond expectations, as was the food. Could not have asked for a better experience all the way around.

A fantastic way to visit a fantastic country.
This was my first visit to Kenya and a country on the continent of Africa. I did this as a mission trip and was accompanied by my husband and 5 others. It was only 17 days, not nearly long enough, but, even in that short time I felt I saw a good sample of the country. I felt cared for and welcomed. Having the same two drivers for who were genuinely friendly people added an immeasurable quality to the trip. I would recommend this company to anyone based on this experience.

A wonderful heartwarming experience that can not be put into words.
We had a wonderful time in Kenya and our drivers were with us the whole time. They took great care of us and we couldn't have done it without them!!! They did a great job getting us to places we never would have found. They were polite and kind and answered all of our questions. The safari itself was awesome! I would highly recommend this group to anyone traveling to Kenya.

Great experience in Kenya
Pre-trip planning and communications with Great Horizon Trails was fast, easy and clear. They were kind enough to offer us rates to accommodate our student budget. Had a knowledgeable driver and safe/comfortable vehicle. We went on two trips with them (hell's gate & nairobi national park) and had a great time!

Our last 3 trips with Great Horizon Trails were wonderful!
I have led groups on 2 week trips to Kenya, using Great Horizon Trails. Each one was wonderful, and beyond expectations. We saw an amazing number of animals on each safari. The preparation for the trips were assisted by the professional director and his staff, who were most helpful. The driver guides were knowledgeable and friendly. As our trips include mission work as well as safari, it was gratifying to have adaptability and flexibility built in to our schedule. Most of all, we felt safe and happy throughout, and there was always lots of laughter. We are looking forward to our trip to Kenya this summer, thanks to Great Horizon Trails!

Excellent organisation and value for money.
I have used Great Horizon Trails in both 2013 and 2014 to take groups to work with a school in Matayos, Western Kenya. I wanted a reliable organisation and Great Horizon were recommended to me by the Deputy at Imprezza Academy. On both occasions the Safari parts of the tours proved to be excellent in terms of finding game and interesting situations. We had visits to Hells Gate, Nakuru and in 2014 Masaii Mara. Clearly the latter was most impressive with the Gnu crossing the crocodile river, a lion pride hunting and excellent elephant encounters.
We were looking for excellent value for money and Great Horizon on both trips provided cooked meals at each of the safari locations. Breakfasts, lunches and evening meals were amazing when you considered the facilities available to the cook.
If you are looking for luxury then Great Horizon is probably not for you BUT if you want a well organised, trouble free and exciting holiday including safaris then Great Horizon would be hard to beat.

Fantastic trip to Masai Mara!!
We could not have wished for a better trip to the Masai Mara with Great Horizon Trails! From the moment we entered the park there was an abundance of wildlife and our expert driver and naturist was so knowledgeable and gave us a lot of interesting information. He had a very keen and eye and seemed to be able to see creatures from miles away. We saw all of the Big 5 and many other animals too. Our camp was great and the food was amazing. We certainly didn't go hungry! Overall an absolutely fantastic Safari trip creating some amazing memories. Thank You!
