Extraordinary experience, we loved it!!
Our 6-day safari was absolutely extraordinary! Each park we visited had its own unique qualities, which made the overall experience incredibly special.
We went in August and had the privilege of witnessing the Great Migration, with thousands of zebras and other animals on the move. It was truly spectacular! We also saw many other animals, often from incredibly close distances, which made the experience even more unforgettable.
We also had the best guide we could have asked for. She provided top-notch service throughout the entire safari and went above and beyond to make our trip exceptional. We honestly couldn’t have asked for anyone better!
I would give our overall experience a solid 10 out of 10. It was an unforgettable adventure, and I would definitely recommend it!

Kind and helpful
Daisy from Bonfire was extremely helpful! She was very available, especially when I was planning from a different timezone and responded to my questions. The organization for the safari was also great. I stayed at the Ol-Moron tented camp and the staff were lovely, the rooms were very clean and comfortable, and the safari drives were amazing. Highly recommend!

Excellent service from Kibe and our guide Caxton
We arranged a 3 day / 2 night trip after attending a conference in Nairobi. Kibe was extremely helpful with the planning and discussing options. Our guide, Caxton, was amazing! Excellent driver (road to Maasai Mara is not for the fainthearted) and made our game drive unforgettable! It was during migration season and I could not believe how many animals we saw! Zebras and wildebeest were everywhere. We saw lions, an elusive leopard in the tree with prey, a cheetah near our vehicle, hippos, elephant herds and many more! Sadly no rhinos. The land cruiser was comfortable and even fitted woth charging plugs. Our accommodation (Mara Chui Resort and Jambo Mara Lodge) were spectacular! I wish we had booked an extra night!
This was a memory that I will always treasure!

Professional & Passionate
We had an incredible safari with Bonfire Adventures and couldn’t be happier. From start to finish, they delivered exactly what they promised.
Special shoutout to Dennis, our driver/guide – he was absolutely amazing. Incredibly informative, patient, and knew the Maasai Mara like the back of his hand. He made every game drive exciting, spotted animals we would’ve missed, and shared so much about the wildlife and local culture. You could tell he genuinely loves what he does.
Thanks to Dennis and Bonfire’s planning, we met our #1 expectation: seeing the Big Five. Every moment felt well-organized and safe.
If you want a tour operator that’s professional, reliable, and passionate about giving you the real Kenya, choose Bonfire Adventures. Dennis alone makes the experience 10x better.
Highly recommend!
poor communication and unprofessional
Almost impossible to send funds to reserve from overseas. Wanted to charge more for the lodge reservation the next day. In experienced driver didn't know the importance of vehicle position for photos. Very frustrating and no possibility of phone conversations, only email . AVOID
Finally high pressure sales around your vehicle and Maasi village to purchase their overpriced trinkets AVOID

Masai Mara game drives..
We had an excellent trip with Bonfire Adventures 3 days/2 nights to Emayian Luxury Camp in Masai Mara..
What an experience 😁 Were handed over to a Masai group, welcoming us with song and in their traditional costume... Sleeping in a tent on poles (without aircondition/tv/refrigerator/telephone line) 😱🙈😉 but having our own Jazucci on the decking 😇 Luxery all the way through on camp aswell on our game drives with John. Who really knew everything about Masai Mara.. Never missed any of our question, took us out to see things we didn't know about.. No shortcuts just pouring his heart out with all his knowledge.. ❤️ Even Daisy asked: we were satisfied with what we got and what she also were told, when we met up in Nairobi after the safari trip.. Never a boring moment, althrough our remaining vacation in Diani Reef, Mombasa.. ✨️5 BIG STARS from Danes visiting Kenya for our first, but not the last trip with Bonfire Adventures
Patrick was very very good. Made us feel very much at home and taught us along about the wild and .
Tour excellent, the service excellent, value for money excellent.
The tour was very nice we wished we had an extra day.

Eunice Odhiambo was veeeeeeeeeery kind! and very professional!
Honest opinion.....I stayed at Taita Hills, the hotel is located at a very good place, great views and it's beautiful and relaxing, the hotel staff were also very kind and very friendly, especially at the pool, the dining area, the drivers and the chefs. However my biggest disappointment was they don't offer full day drives for the safaris. Only 2hrs in the evening and 2hrs in the morning. For me it was a huge disappointment since I'd been in Maasai mara where there's like 3/ 2 hrs the evening before and a full day drive the next day which was totally worth it. You get more time to explore and enjoy seeing the animals which was my main aim....while in Tsavo the whole experience was dawned down to just the hotel experience. Not really what I wanted. But for those that enjoy peace and quiet and plenty of rest , Tsavo is good for you.

Good
Service was a joke, I paid in June for me to be placed in different seats with my son and to also be next to the toilet. Aren’t those seats given to people who come last minute? The wine tour was just us sitting in an open place no tour was given at all which is unacceptable. Also we went to a different orchard than what was advertised. Next time do better.
