Graceport Ecotours Kenya was excellent and very helpful with booking our tour.
Our Driver Guide was Peter Anyona and he was very good. Peter was on time everyday and answered all our questions about the different animals. Although we did not get to see the migration river crossing Peter had us perfectly located had it occurred. I highly recommend Peter for your next safari.

A bit chaotic but realiable
We wanted a simple, budget safari, so we chose to visit the Masai Mara and Nakuru in a short time.
As we wanted to avoid overpaying, we didn't really care about where to stay. The tented camp in the Maasai village did not disappoint. Citymax - a run-down, simple hotel, adequate. It is better not to have high expectations for this hotel. But it does its job.
The food was filling and good.
The safari programme was well thought out: one evening game drive, a full day in the Masai Mara, then a swim in Lake Naivashu, which I consider a good introduction to Nakuru. Once you know about the small creatures, you can go deeper. We enjoyed it all very much, although it actually takes half the time just to go from park to park.
The driver, Richard, was a great companion, a very nice, responsible, fatherly person. He maintained privacy (he was not one for joking and fraternizing) and we apreciated that. Richard had his own style of driving, approaching the lions first and adding knowledge to the tour. Be curious, it pays off!
About the organisation: we were happy with the route, although the organisation was a bit chaotic. We were communicated quickly, but had to keep revising the details (the prices were different, please update!), and when we left, it turned out that the itinerary we had received was the opposite (not Nakuru-Masai Mara, but Masai Mara-Nakuru - which is better by the way). There was a bit of a lack of live contact when paying, so we were a bit hesitant about whether everything would be OK. However, everything is reliable: we got our invoice, we were picked up from the hotel on time, and the programme and the guide service really exceeded expectations. So overall I rate the safari as good.
If you are looking for a great safari experience without demanding too much from the conditions, this is for you!

Great tour to experience Kenyan wild life
Be prepared for some improvisation concerning logistics when joining a group tour but in the end, everything has been delivered and the program was respected. Communication was smooth as well. The safari itself was an excellent experience. Our driver was well experienced and patient, he provided the group with clear information. I loved the accommodation in a camp, it was simple but cozy. It allowed for bonding with other members of the groups so it's a great option of you're travelling alone. The tour offers good value for money and gives you a unique experience of the Kenyan wilderness.

Great safari
We’ve had such a great safari from 7 days. It was a budget safari but we saw just as much as with an expensive tour. The drivers make sure you see the most. Just make sure you keep all writings and agreements and you will have a wonderful trip!
