Reviews
I have been on safari in Kenya twice with this operator and it was a wounderful experience.
Deep Forest Safaris offers excellent customer services to they clients. I travelled to Kenya first in 2005 as volunteer, during my free time I booked a camping safari to Lake Nakuru park and Masai Mara. The information they gave us before the Safari departure in Nairobi was good and all what they promised was delivered to my satisfaction during our 4 Days safari. They have some of the best safari guides in Kenya, taking time for the tourists to take photos as they share they great safari experience you. Last year was the greatest moment in Kenya safari with my family joining me for the 12 days lodge Safari, We saw alot and shared that greatest safari holiday together and again our tour was organized by Deep Forest Safaris.

Very well planned and beautiful Safari
Me and my two sisters went with Sam from Deep Forest Safaris for a week to Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru in 2011. In Masai Mara we saw the Wildebeest Migration. It was a great trip, fairly priced, very safe and comfortable. We saw everything we expected plus more. (I also went on safari 2 times with Sam in 2006, when i was volenteering in Kenya - wonderful experiences!!)

When Kenya becomes real
I went to Kenya with Deep Forest Safaris for two reasons: First and foremost to attend my cousins wedding, which took place smack-dab in the Masai Mara - but also to experience this amazing country, its population and the fantastic wildlife.
Samuel Charagu and Deep Forest Safaris are determined to give their guest a unique experience - and as a guide Sam knows every nook and cranny of his country . which means that you as a tourist (or guest, as he prefers to call you) gets to see things that the 'usual tourist' does not always get the opportunity to experience.
The safaris were 'close-up' encounters - but definitely with respect for the animals. The 'long-hauls' - driving from place to place never were boring because the landscape is amazing - and the guides are well informed, so they keep you up-dated along the way.
Last - but not least: The people are friendly, accomodating, curious and hospitable - so: All in all: If you choose to go to Kenya - choose Deep Forest Safaris. You won't regret - and I will go again.
By the way: She said 'Yes' - and now bears the name of Mrs Charagu
Enjoy your Kenyan Vacation with Deep Forest Safaris

Well organised and superb safari experience
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.

Excellent primitive 5 days safari Kenya - 3 different parks
7 people (age 18 to 58) - 5 days
Masai Mara Game Reserve, Lake Nakuru National park and Amboseli National Park
Sammy - our safari guide and driver was excellent.
The tents and tentcamps were primitive, in the nature, but OK - nice staff.
Some of the beds in www.enchorowildlifecamp.com at Masai Mara Game Reserve was not comfortable.
Food prepared by "our " chef in the tentcamps could be better.
We can recommend Deep Forest Safaris :-)

Excellent and exciting experience
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.

Masai mara in a day
We had a nice tour, and on our way to Masai mara our guide stoped several places so we could look at souvenirs, that was really nice.
On our day in Masai mara, we saw a lot of animals and we felt really lucky. But we were a bit Disapointet about our guide, because we had to ask him to stop several places to take pictures, because he did not stop by himself, and we had expected to be told a lot more about Masai mara and the animales, but our guide did not tell us much without us asking him.
But nice camp and nice people
