An outstanding, fascinating and unforgettable experience with very good price and professional team
My family and I experienced an amazing trip as everything was perfect and more than expected, starting from the preparations as Mark replied promptly on all of our inquiries and helped us in planning the whole trip until we reached what we desired. All what have been promised was fulfilled from the airport pick up till the drop off and whatever we asked for was made sure to be done. The Safari itself was a marvelous one, we were on a private safari and we had the best guide out there, Wyckliffe is an experienced one and very knowledgable, we were with him for five amazing days, we went to Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli. He showed us more than we imagined, we saw all of the big five, wild beast migration, cheetahs, hyenas, giraffes, zebras, hippos, flamingos, baboons...., he knew where to go and how to approach wildlife. He also was gave us wonderful road trips with very nice sceneries and explained everything to us and answered all of our questions. We had the chance to explore the country not only the wildlife but also the people and the beauty of Kenya. He is also very friendly and joyful, got the feeling that he is a family member, we enjoyed every single moment we spent with him. This safari experience was an amazing one, we enjoyed our time from day one till we said goodbye as everyone we met was very welcoming and helpful.
Thank you so much Okoa safari for this incredible vacation that exceeded our expectations in everything (safari, accommodation, carnivore restaurant, communication, and everything else), and very special thanks to Wyckliffe and Mark for all your efforts to make us feel happy and satisfied.

Amazing Safari with Great service
A thank you note for Franck(Our Travel Organiser) for putting together such a wonderful trip. Okoa Africa tours provided us everything that was promised and more - in fact, I fell in love with this place and its gentle old world charm. The weather was spectacular, lovely accomodation and gracious people. Our time in Kenya will be forever etched in our memory and we will continue to (and have been) singing its praises since our return. Franck- Once again, thank you so much for such an amazing trip n a mind-blowing hospitality. Much appreciated

Excellent tour in the Masai Mara Reserve
We were very satisfied by Okoa Africa Tours. We went for a 3-day safari trip to the Masai Mara National Reserve in a small group of 6 people. Our guide, Gibson, was passionate about his job and really did his best to show us all animals the closest possible! We saw all savannah animals except for the rhino and really enjoyed our time in Kenya.

Okoa is reliable touroperator.
Second time safari to Masai Mara game reserve. Communication went smoothly. Me and my daughter did a joining safari. What I like about Okoa is that they are doing everything to comfort you. I chose for Okoa because for me it's important that what I paid for safari, goes directly into Kenian economy for a fair price.
Rates are lower then traveling with the bigger companies, but service is better. So I hope more people choose Okoa for an outstanding experience.

Amazing Safari Experience
My friend and I had a limited time in Nairobi but we were keen to do the Maasai Mara in 2 days. Our driver Geoffrey was absolutely amazing and we were very lucky to be able to see the big 5 in just two drives.
The Maasai Mara was absolutely beautiful, and I would recommend this group for organising it!

Phenomenal experience, magical times
From the moment we first accessed the SafariBookings website and asked for the quotation they promptly replied us with all the information we needed. Since we we're not coming from the airport (but by bus) they offered to pick us up at the station at no fee and dropped us at our hotel, only stopping at the office to hand the payment and check the arrangements for our safari on the next day. They were helpful and friendly at all times and were always communicating with us and informing the next steps.
On the day of the departure to the safari, they picked us up and explained how the logistics would be (given different groups were staying for different amount of days at the safari) and we were placed with two other ladies who would be doing the 3 days-2 nights package (we did the 2 days-1 night). Everything went smoothly on the ride there and the accommodation exceeded our expectations (even though they didn't have hot water in the showers) as well as the meals included (proper breakfasts, lunchs and dinners).
The safari experience was beyond incredible. Our tour guide, Joffrey, did an amazing job and we were so lucky we got to see the BIG 5 and many other animals (the quest to find the Black Rhino was so fun and we were able to spot a leopard which is quite difficult!)! He stayed in touch with other guides through a radio frequency and they would always inform where other animals were placed and you could see he genuinely wanted us to witness all of them (and we would get so so close to the animals!). On our way out e even caught a lioness eating what was left of a Zebra (a raw and wild moment).
We also booked the Giraffe Center and Elephant Orphanage once we were back in Nairobi and despite some difficulties we encountered (regarding time, jam and misscommunication) the experience with the giraffes was lovely (we ended up not going to the Elephants cause the feeding time is between 11-12pm and we missed it so we ended up going to a mall + local market).
You can definitely see they improved from previous feedbacks and reviews they received and the service was spot on. I highly recommend them!
Thank you so much Frank and Joffrey, you made our journey magical!

Great budget tour
I was looking for a 2 day budget safari over a weekend while on a work trip to Kenya and this gave me everything I wanted. Communications in advance were fine, and I was collected from my hotel as expected. Joined a small group, helpful guide/driver Simon and an excellent trip to Masiai Mara. We were lucky enough to see lions, elephants, hippos & a hyena as well as giraffes, zebras, antelope and more.
The only thing I'd say is that the actual tour wasn't run by Okoa because they put me with others to form a viable group size so we didn't actually stay at the camp I expected (stayed at Lenchada instead of Mitimingi) (which is why I've given it 4/5 rather than 5/5). But it was all fine for the price and exactly what I wanted!
