Very good 2 way contact before the safari and a well organised comprehensive tour of the Maasai Mara
From the moment I sent my request for information Doyen Safaris (Kennedy) was very quick to reply and was able to provide answers to all my questions. As this was my first visit to Kenya and my itinerary was not confirmed I requested several variations on my initial specification and Kennedy responded quickly and thoroughly to each request. As I was booking with less than 2 weeks before the safari the quick responses were just what I wanted. Some companies made their initial contact with me over 48 hours after my initial query which was not good enough to satisfy my demands.
The cost of the package was competitive and the itinerary was very clear. The international money transfer for the deposit went smoothly and the balance was paid in US $ on the day of departure.
Kennedy met us at the hotel on the morning of the Safari and introduced us to Richard who was to be our driver for the 3 days. We were soon onboard the transport bound for the Maasai Mara. The three days were filled with unforgettable experiences and Richard was a great driver and guide. He made sure that we witnessed as much of the sights and spectacles as possible. The accommodation and food at Miti Mingi camp was as advertised on their website. The picnic under a tree in the middle of the Mara was very enjoyable.
On our return to Nairobi we met Kennedy who was keen to know if the safari had been to our satisfaction and so that he could get feedback on our trip, there were a few very minor points which he said that he would address.
Overall a great experience and the many email conversations before arriving in Kenya supported by the attention to detail by Doyen Safaris made it an unforgettable experience. I have no hesitation in recommending their services.

Great experience!
We were 4 family friends who visited Kenya in March. We got in touch with Kennedy in February, much before our visit to Kenya. He was very responsive right from the get go and gave us a very good deal :) We visited Masai Mara, Nakuru and Naivasha for a 4 days and 3 nights safari package. At one point Kennedy was so nice to accommodate a boat ride. The driver who led us to the game drive, Joseph was very experienced. He knew the exact corners and places in Masai & Nakuru where we were fortunate to witness all the BIG 5 of Kenya! We got lucky :) I'd really recommend Kennedy for anyone who is willing to explore true wilderness of Kenya :)

Reliable, friendly and client-centered service
My family and I had a wonderful experiemce visiting the Masai Mara for 2 days tour, organized by Kennedy Sagwe of Doyen Safaris. Kennedy was very helpful right from the first start when I made an inquiry all the way from Solomon Islands. He kept advising both by email, phone calls and WhatsApp to ensure I received the required info on time to inform my decision. Kennedy organized comfortable accommodations and great meals as part of the package, and I must say my wife and kids had a great time.
I intend to visit Kenya again in Dec 2017 or Jan 2018, and I shall confidently rely on Kennedy's advice to plan the activities of this second trip with my family.
Kennedy was entirely trustworthy with money and we got exactly what we paid for. He was humble and respectful to us during our entire engagement with him.

Wonderful!
I feel like it was such a wonderful experience, at a very good price. It's tent camping, but I always felt safe and taken care of. They feed you all your meals, and water, and there is not an animal I can think of, that we didn't see on this Safari. Our guides did their very best to find every single animal possible for us to see. It truly was a wonderful experience!!! I am so glad I did it!!!

a lifetime experience!!
Mr Kennedy is the best travel agent to go to. He is available 24/7 and will attend to minute details to make safari experience unforgettable. We went in the peak season so we saw all the big five masai mara is famous for. We saw the world famous masai river crossing. All animals were in herds migrating. We saw a kill, cheetahs and lions eating game meat. It was epic. Our driver was fantastic. He would always reach the spot before anyone else. The stay at mara sopa lodge was serene and like dream. Perfect holiday with family.

Excellent guide and good price
Service and communication was really good. They were on time to pick up us from our hotel and after camp. Mr Kennedy was so sympatic and good planner. Our guide, Zak was professional, he knows Masai Mara very well and sees animals very well even they are too far away. He saw çita and many lions earlier than other group guides. We were so satisfied about Doyen safari service. We were there at End of May. Even it is beginning of season, we saw a lot of wildies. It was perfect experience.
