Beautiful, exciting, mike and his co worker were top notch! Unforgettable experience! A must do!!!
Okoa Africa tours had. Clear , professional communications from beginning to end. the staff was extremely professional from beginning to end. They delivered a top notch experience and catered to all our needs. Mike, our Guide, greeted us at the airport to ensure they explained pick up time time and and all details. On the day of pick up, Mike and his partner were punctual and extremely professional. We felt well taken care of. The ride from Kajiado to our Safari site was comfortable and once we arrived at the park, Mike and his partner made sure we had the best experience. They stopped as often and for as long as we needed to allow us to enjoy the beautiful animals and take pictures! They made sure we were as close as possible to the animals and pointed out the most impressive animals . We had the experience of a lifetime and zero complaints. I would recommend Okoa Africa tours to anyone considering a safari and when we return to Africa we will only do business with Okoa Africa rours! Extremely satisfied and impressed customer!!

good quality price
all very correct. Mika very helpful, he helped us with a lost suitcase.
Martin the driver the best we could have. Fast, efficient and polite
The worst is the hotel where they book us up the first day (Embassy) and some of the meals, but that no longer depends on them

Reactive and pro
The safari was amazing, our driver knew the reserve very well and we saw a lot of animals. He was very pro.
The accommodation was ok.
Legit tour! Affordable budget option
As a first timer, reading so many reviews and feedbacks from all agencies, this agency is really good and legit. Overall, i felt secured since then with Mika. He gives information a lot and answer promptly to my queries. I paid cash on their office at Nairobi.
Before the tour, he explained everything what shall we expect. And we feel happy about his service. Since day, the driver, Boniface, pick us up from our apartment and drop to his office. Then collecting all the passengers for the 1 van from different company. In the 1st 3 days, we were 8 but these 2 guys extended their Masai Mara for a day, so on the 4th day we are only 6 like the other van.
The food was ok, mostly was beef stew, lentil, egg(packed lunch), spinach, fried chx(packed lunc)h,etc. I had diarrhea and i dont know whats the reason. Just better bring ibuprofen with you. The food is bland and repeated for 7 days. Nothing much to be excited about it. Expect this food also in other budget tour even with other companies.
Always bring bug repellant with you even you stay in a hotel as there’s still mosquito.
Boniface is fine for me but other people with us cant understand him much when he was explaining and discussing about the animals and more.
Summary, the tour is worth the money you paid comparing to the other tours. It has cheaper price but you will get the same quality with other agencies.

Good communication, you Will get what you have booked for.
We appreciated the good communication. Immediate and clear response to all questions. Very helpful. Upon booking you Will receive a clear documentation file with details. So you Know what you can expect (what is in, what is out).
The travel agency collaborates with other small agencies, so in practice (for a budget safari), People of different agencies van be joined in one minivan. But in principle that should not be a problem as they all offer the same program... However, it may be the case that other travel agencies do not provide clear info on the details... And in case that these travellers are quite demanding, this may cause some problem. In that case, it is up to the driver to solve the problem...
Our driver/guide, Ken, did An excellent job trying to fullfill the demands of the persons from different agencies (which was not that easy...), But he managed!
We had a wonderful safari and we were Lucky to see the big five (quite some Lions!), the river crossing,.... The whole package! He did all the efforts to give us the best experience! Thank you Ken! Me and my family enjoyed it very much!
One last word on the program. We booked the 3-day safari, meaning one evening drive, one full day drive, morning drive before return to Nairobi.
Forget about the morning drive... Opt for the extended full day drive (6am-6pm), so you Will have more chance to get to the Mara river to see the crossing and all the other things. The morning drive is less of interest as you can not drive far into the park (that part you have been already, and the best you Will only see further away). The 3th day you can visit the Masai village instead. In principle you need to discuss/agree with your fellow travellers, And it costs extra... It is advisable to negotiate upfront.
In short: we recommend this Company, we recommend Our guide Ken!

Well organized
We did a 3-day-safari Masai Mara NP. Ken was an extremely good driver. He managed the roads very good.
We saw a lot of animals there like zebras, elephants, lions, cheetahs, hyenas, shakals,...
Mika gave us a nice service (pick up at hotel, organize taxi for driving home, money transfer). We felt comfortable with that. We stepped easily from one step to the other the whole trip. Meals were good.
We would have wished more explanations about what we saw in the park, some informations about the animals.
So, you have to ask if you want to know something :)

well managed
I (single traveler with request to join a group) booked 4 days, 3 nights, Masai Mara + Lake Nakuru safari with 4x4
Kakitu our driver and guide for Masai Mara was energetic with keen eye for locating animals
The stay was fine.
For Lake Nakuru due to non-availability of fellow travelers had to go with private Van (costed additional) but the arrangement and transfers were well managed.
Thank you Mika (tour manager) for arranging the entire tour.
