7 day safari in Kenya
We had a 7 day safari trip in Kenya with Okoa Africa. Our driver was always on the right place in the right time and we saw as much as animals as possible. The accomodation was very good - both camps, hotel and guest house. We were very satisfied with all the services during our trip.

Great experience
We booked a 6 days budget safari to Masai Mara, Nakuru and Amboseli for two. Great price, did all as promised. Food, water, accomodation were very good. The driver, Stanley, was very nice except for the first day in Masai Mara when he was late, half asleep, didn't talk much..but he made it up later in the tour. Mark organised our tickets to continue to Mombasa from Emali, and gave as a free ticket.
We also booked a two days to Hell's gate and mt. Longonot, it was very nice and more than I expected. Good trekking and cicling, a bit of exercise. Mt longonot is not that easy. We had a private driver, Peter, he was really nice.
I had an extra week on my own, so I decided to do a 5 days trekking to mt Kenya. I wanted a group but it ended up to be just me with the guide and cook. It was a great experience! I wasn't very prepared but everything went fine. This last tour wasn't as organised as I wanted. Poor communication between Mark and the guide. Not sure how many days it was going to take, if food was included, if I had a sleeping bag, guiere.. everything at last minute. But everything went smoothly in the end. Charly and Jhon were very nice, great food, great experience!
We also decided to go with them because it's a Kenyan company. Totally recommended !

Amazing 5-Day Budget Safari in Kenya
The company was very fast in responding to my emails. They were prompt in picking me up from the airport on the day of arrival and dropping me off at my accommodations for the night. The next morning, they were on time in picking me up for the start of my 5-Day Safari to Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Lake Naivasha/Hell's Gate Park.
The safari itself was the most incredible experience I have ever had. You really see the beauty of the country, its wildlife, and its people. It is a budget safari, so do not expect luxurious accommodations unless you're willing to pay extra for them. In Masai Mara, I stayed at an eco camp that had the basics, but at the lakes, we stayed in very nice hotels. I traveled solo and joined a group that consisted of 5 other people the whole time, with people rotating in and out depending on their own itineraries. My driver for 4 days, Patrick, was great. He was very helpful and knew everything about everything in our destinations and was very good at spotting animals that were hiding. We saw ALL of the big 5, including a rare sighting of a lioness in Lake Nakuru.
I would 100% recommend Okoa Africa Tours and would use them again myself for my next safari adventure in East Africa. Feel free to contact me for further details!

Wonderful experience
We had an amazing time on our 4-day 3-night camping safari to Lake Manyara, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro. Our guide, Steven, was excellent; he took the time to explain things to us, went out of his way to take requests, and ensured that we got to see the Big 5 and much more! The chef, Gadi, also threw together some delicious meals. Both guys really made the safari special.
There was however one hiccup on our trip - the banks were closed for a holiday, so Richard was unable to transfer our park fees for Ngorongoro when we arrived. Unfortunately, we each had to pay out of pocket to get into the park and campsite. However, Richard assured us we would be reimbursed in cash upon our return to Arusha, and he made good on his promise and gave us the money as soon as we got back. Although this was inconvenient, it didn't ruin our experience - this just to say that sometimes things can go wrong, but they will make up for it!
Overall we had an incredible experience, we would recommend Okoa!

Reliable and well organized safaritours by owner and staff, with passion for what they do!
The communication went easy. The questions I had were answered really soon.
The service during the safari was good. The experienced driver showed me the most beautyful places in Masai Mara. An unforgettable experience for a lifetime.

Attentive and efficient
Mika was very quick in responding to my enquiry to book and communication was easy. We had the most exceptional guide John who was full of knowledge about the reserve and took us to areas where we were alone at times to watch the animals. Saw everything except rhino. Lodge was spot on great experience well done Okoa team

Wellorganized, extremely helpful!
Excellent and easy contact with Mika. Great trip with Andrew, a full 4x4 jeep. I went on the 4 day tours, but think the 3 day one is enough (lake Nakura is ok, but a long extra drive.....). Got to see all big 5

Exceeded My Expectations!
The tour agent Mika was super helpful even prior to our trip. He was super accommodating and understood what we wanted out of the Safari package. We went on a 9 day safari in Kenya (3 days) and Tanzania (6 days).
The tour guide John who took us to Masai Mara was an absolute professional! We saw so many animals up close including 3 lionesses feeding on a warthog up close like 2 meters from the jeep. The accommodation was also excellent even for a budget Safari. The food was also good. Everything was super well organised and it was a trip of a lifetime for me and my two friends. Would definitely recommend OKOA to anyone wanting to have an amazing Safari experience!

Very professional and worthy !
We were two persons on a 6-day safari to Masai Mara, Lake Naiwasha, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli. We saw plenty of animals in all parks and had some extraordinary experiences with very close contact with both predators and prey. For the cost this is definitly the most worthy safari I have been to. I have been on safaris several times in Kenya, Tanzania, Botswana and Zambia, but this was the best experience. Mika at Okoa has been very helpful and the guide and driver Richard was excellent.
Accomodation and food was good and well working, but without unnessesary luxury.
