Excellent tour that was very well organized with an expert guide. Definitely 10/10
Africa Starpal Safaris provided excellent service from the time I contacted Paul to the time we finished the 3 day safari to Tsavo National Park (East and West). We had Boniface as our guide and we saw hundreds of animals including 4 of the Big 5! Boniface was a wealth of knowledge and we learned a great deal about the wildlife we were observing. Accommodation within the Park was superb and made our downtime most enjoyable. I would highly recommend Africa Starpal for both their organizational ability, professionalism of Boniface and extremely good value for money.

Amazing, going beyond expectations
Beyond expectations. We went for a nine day safari with African Starpal Safaris and it was a great experience. We went to Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, Amboseli and Tsavo east and west.
When we first got in contact with them Paul the manager answered always very fast on my questions and that made me to book with African Starpal Safaris.
After booking we kept good contact till we arrived at the airport in Nairobi. Unfortunately one of my bags did not arrive, but Paul went beyond his efforts to look a few times at the airport if the bag might have arrived.
On the safari everything went well our guide Boniface showed us all the nice places in the parks and we saw loads of animals. Not once I had the feeling being unsafe in the minivan.
We booked a medium accommodation package and all the hotels were of surprising good quality.
Also the food in the restaurants was nice. A few it was a la carte dining, but mostly it was a buffet.
I can highly recommend African Starpal Safaris and the great guide Boniface to anyone who likes to come to Kenya. They gave me and my dad a holiday to remember for a long time
Kind regards,
Gerben and Gerhard Post, the Netherlands

Wonderful experience, 6 days custom Safari with Tom
We organized a 6 days custom safari with Africa Starpal Safaris via whatsapp. Paul was super helpful providing feedback, suggestions and helping us compare the various alternatives. When we arrived in Kenya everything worked out even better that we thought. Pickup at the agreed time and we leave for our trip. Our guide Tom was exceptional, he really made the difference. He is a very pleasant person and he did everything he could to make our trip something we would remember. It was a marvelous experience. Thanks Africa Stapal Safaris, thanks Paul but mainly thanks our wonderful guide Tom!

Great Lodges, Great Driver, Unique Experience
As we had a really great time on our 6-day private safari (amboseli, nakuru, masai mara) organized by african starpal safaris, I want to give some information about how we experienced the whole thing.
The communication with Paul was good throughout the booking-process. He answered all questions and responded quickly, wich was very helpful as at first we were quite unsure about booking our safari with a small local company based on a few online reviews. But everything went very smooth and we have nothing to complain about.
The Lodges we stayed at were great and we felt that we always got one of the best rooms.
In addition to that, I guess we had one of the best drivers/guides with Tom.
He took really good care of us the whole time, spotted animals from far away with his blank eye (we saw the big5 including 2 leopards which is really rare and a lion hunt + kill among a lot of other wildlife) and had a lot of knowledge about the animals.
The only thing that could have been better is the car. We opted for the (cheaper) 4x4 safari-van (instand of a Landcruiser) which in fact was a Toyota 2WD which was quite old and looked like it has taken a lot of beating over the past years. But then again, it was a really tough car and in combination with Tom's driving skills (which were simply amazing) we managed to cross offroad paths which I never thought were possible with this car. Tom sayed he makes it a 4WD and he kind of wasn't wrong about it. Still we got stuck once and also had to stop a few times because of minor technical issues but it actually wasn't a big thing for us as Tom was always able to fix it within minutes or knew how to "unstuck" the car. We felt safe and it kind of added some additional adventure to the whole safari-experience ;).
So if you are looking for a local safari-agency, give african-starpal a try and make sure you ask for Tom as your driver. If you don't want the additional adventure and you are going to masai mara consider to get a landcruiser or maybe try beforehand to insist on a 4x4 van.

They exceeded our expectation,Very relable company
Africa Starpal Safaris is incredible to work with Paul controlling the office arrangements. There is a quick response to your questions, communication is excellent and attention to detail is impressive. We had a wonderful time on our safari and all the experiences exceeded expectations on our 6 days Kenya safari. Thomas is easy to work with and the best wildlife spotter ever and very good at individualizing needs. We were booked into incredible lodges and the service was excellent very clean and had very friendly staff.We really enjoyed our safaris with then and we will always recommend them.

Professional and great communication
Our safari with Africa Starpal Safaris was amazing! Our interactions with Paul were professional and he was super helpful with any queries we had. We booked a 6 day safari which included Amboseli, Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara parks and we had Tom as our guide throughout. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to be our guide for this trip. Tom was knowledgable and friendly and really made sure our trip was everything we hoped it would be. His eyesight is superhuman and this ensured we were able to spot all of the big 5 and be able to get a close up view. Our accommodation throughout was great and exactly what we expected when we booked (we went mid-range and especially enjoyed Ziwa lodge in Lake Nakuru). We can’t recommend our experience enough, thank you so much Tom and Paul! We can’t wait to return one day!

Perfectly tailored Safari experience
Paul did a fabulous job in organising our 6 night safari trip through various national parks in Kenia. Our guide Joseph was fantastic, being the perfect companion for a few unforgettable days in Kenia.

Wonderfull, trustworthy and valuable experience
The whole experience was exceptional! Boni is the tour guider you want with you, he knows it all :) the effort he puts to show you all you want to see, he knows the right places to go, we learnt a lot about local people, places and animals, so many curiosities that he taught us. And always with a big smile. Arranging the safari tour was easy with Paul, he managed to get us what we wanted for this trip, the things we wanted to do with side trips and the hotels we wanted to stay in, and it went all very safe. The car was in good shape and comfortable for the trails that we went for. The price was really nice compared to other tour agencies, and it went all fantastic. For sure I will recomend Safari Starpal to everyone.

We had an amazing trip with Africa Starpal Team! Paul the tour consultant always helped us plan the perfect itinerary, so we were able to visit three parks in just 5 days(Amboseli,Tsavo East And Tsavo West. Our guide,went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience and saw a ton of wildlife. I would absolutely recommend booking with them if you are visiting kenya.
