Best mix of safari and culture in Kenya.
5/5

We always wanted to go on a safari and after reading a lot on the internet we found Deep Forest Safaris and decided to give Samuel a call. Samuel did a great job in planning our safari in Kenya. Working under both time and budget constraints he still made it possible for us to go on a private safari and made sure all our expectations were met and beyond.

Arriving in Kenya we were welcomed by the Deep Forest Safaris team and our guide for the whole stay. From an instant we both felt welcome and comfortable. Sammy, who was our guide and driver throughout the whole stay in Kenya made sure everything was running smooth and gave us experiences of a lifetime. He was very knowledgeable and told us stories about both the culture and the animals we saw whilst on safari.

Samuel and Sammy took pride in making sure we got the best experience and in that they definitely succeeded. We wouldn't hesitate calling Samuel and Deep Forest Safaris again!

Fantastic 4-day safari
5/5

We were seven persons together on a specialized trip. We went to Lake Naivasha and stayed at Fisheaglegle inn, walked in Hell's gate, took a boat trip on the lake and came close to a a lot of exciting animals such as hippos. Then we went to Masai mara and stayed at the AA lodge. Both accomodations were very good. On the game drive we saw all the big animals and some of them came very close. Our driver and guide Sammy, was very good at spotting the enimlas and telling us abot th things we saw. Altogether - this was a fantastic safari!

The safari was very fantastic we visit Hell gates / Lake Nevasha but Masai Mara was the best.
5/5

The communication was very good, we stay always in contact with Samuel from Denmark. He organized also the pick up at the airport. The only problem was the tent in Masai Mara. We didn't understand that we are going to sleep in a tent (we never make it before). The guide Samy is a very good guy, he spend his time to search animals. It was the first safari and we were very very satisfy. Thx for the very good organization. (sorry for my English)

amazing tour
5/5

First of all i want to thank Mr Samuel for arranging a fantastic safari to kenya.. we stopp several times to see the beautiful views and animals. Our guide was very proffesional and easy to talk to. we didnt need to ask questions because the guide told ous about the animals every time we stopped. that was so nice because some times its hard to find a good guide and we felt we were very lucky... and we were so lucky to see all the big 5.

The hotels and camps were very good and so was the food.. I can recommend deepforestsafaries to anyone who wants to have a great safari experience

Fantastic!
5/5

We are very happy we chose Deep forest safari. Tourleader/director Samuel replied very fast on our questions before our trip and he made a personal schedule for us with the places we wanted to visit. We booked a 5 days and 4 nights package, including Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha, Hells gate and Nakuru national park. It was fantastic and during the safari everything was well organised. When we told him we would like to go on an early morning gamedrive, it was no problem. The accomodations and food were fine.

I think Deep forest safaris is great value for money and we definitely recomend Deep forest safaris!

Excellent and exciting experience
5/5

We have had a fantastic tour with Deep Forest Safaris.
Everything worked perfect, and all arrangement was met.
We had an excellent guide, and a fantastic enthusiastic and experienced driver.
We saw a lot of animals (i.e. The Big Five), and got a lot of information of the animals, environment, culture etc.
We also visited the "locals" and was given the experience, of some of the original culture and livings of the Kenyan people.
Accommodation and food during the tour was absolutely in line with what we could expect, and would even rate it to be higher than what we could expect.
Finally we also find it praiseworthy that Deep Forest Safaris is involved in developing people, culture and the society in general.
All in all we can only give our very best recommendation of Deep Forest Safaris.

Well organised and superb safari experience
5/5

We have booked a 5 nights - 6 days package with Deep Forest Safaris with 2 full days Masai Mara game drives, 1 day Lake Naivasha, 1 day Hells Gate and 1 day visit of local village near Mount Kenya.

Deep Forest Safaris is run by Samuel Charagu. Communication with him before the start of the safari was very good, always quick replies and he was very willing to think along with our travel wishes. During safari, he has carefully selected a local team of drivers, safari guides, and cooks. Samuel offers good service and flexibility to his customers. The tours can be tailor made. Where it is possible he will combine his customers into one group for a game drive, for example, but if the itineraries of his groups are different he will make sure you will get an own driver/ cook. He makes sure everything runs very smooth: guides and drivers are always on time, lunch and dinner are well prepared every day with fresh ingredients. Also, he has selected good accomodations. Overall, the trip was very well organised and offered absolute good value for money.

We can absolutely recommend Samuel and his local team.
