Exceptional – Our experience with Bienvenido was truly exceptional, from the planning to the safari
From a Repeat Safari-Goer (But Never This Lucky Before)
I’ve been on safaris before, but never have I been this lucky until I traveled with Bienvenido Kenya Tours and Safaris.
Usually, spotting the Big 5 and witnessing the migration feels like a matter of chance. But with Mr. Joffrey as our guide, it felt like destiny. In just 1.5 days in Masai Mara, we checked off everything—the wildebeest migration, 20 lions, a leopard on a tree, elephants, rhino, hippos, zebras, buffalos, and antelopes galore. His sharp knowledge of the land gave us the experience most people wait years for.
Beyond Mara, Lake Nakuru and Naivasha stunned us with their birdlife, and Amboseli gave us the dream sight of elephants against Kilimanjaro and even six cheetahs together—something I had only read about until now.
Our stays were just as memorable—Miti Mingi Camp’s food, Buraha Zenoni’s warm hospitality, Leisure Apex’s comfort, and especially Niyati Camp in Amboseli, where I lay under the stars staring at the Milky Way with Kilimanjaro across my tent.
One of the highlights of our trip was definitely the food! Every place we stayed served such tasty meals, and the variety was impressive. The beef dishes stole the show — cooked in so many different styles, each one more delicious than the last. From barbecued flavors to rich stews, every bite felt like a treat.
Thanks to Mr. Kennedy for his flawless planning. This trip redefined what a safari means for me—it wasn’t luck, it was true expertise making the impossible happen.

Extremely reliable
My family of 5 had a fantastic experience with Bienvenido Kenya Tours and Safaris, all the way from booking the tour, being picked up from our hotel, enjoying an excellent 6 day Safari, and being dropped off at Nairobi Airport afterwards. Our tour guide, Jackson, was second to none. Extremely knowledgeable, explaining in great details about the animals we were seeing, and very kind and reassuring. He really made us feel relaxed, so that we could sit back and enjoy the experience. Thank you Jackson, thank you Kennedy (the organiser), and thank you Bienvenido, for a breathtaking and highly memorable experience.

Great Experience !
Our guide Michael was fantastic, he led us to discover the ins and outs of the national parks and told us so much about the animals while in the park and about Kenyan culture and history during our drives. He was very engaging, always on time and most importantly always with a smile.
Our three days were full of excitement, adventure and wonderful animals and views.
I absolutely recommend !

Once-in-a-lifetime experience: 5-day safari in Tsavo East+West plus Amboseli
We (2 persons) have started to plan our safari only a few weeks before departure and luckily detected safaribookings.com; received offers that matched the indicated fix dates and rough ideas.
All offers really sounded good and reasonable and we received them very quickly.
We went on with the offer by Bienvenido tours and did not regret. The communication went well, we were picked up on time, our tour guide Michael spared no effort to give us the best possible experience in terms of game sights.
A really nice trip!
If there is anything I would suggest to improve, it would be: enable a higher partial amount to be paid by credit card in advance (instead of cash).
Guide Michael is to be recommended!

Great tour operator
We had a great safari experience in Amboseli, Tsavo West and Tsavo East. We saw a lot of animals and stayed at really nice hotels. The guide was always perfectly on time and did a great job spotting all the animals. All of this for a competitive price.
The communication with the tour operator was very good, my emails were always immediately answered.
Would recommend!

Booking this safari was the fulfillment of a dream we both shared, a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Booking this safari was the fulfillment of a dream my fiancée and I always shared, and everything turned out absolutely perfect. From the clear and friendly communication, the excellent service, and the great value for money, to the reliability and the unforgettable tour itself — it was beyond our expectations.
A special mention to Thomas, our driver and guide, who was simply amazing, to Jeffry, who helped us so much and truly made the whole experience the best it could be, and to Kennedy, who guided us through the booking process and made sure our reservation and details were perfectly taken care of.
We couldn’t be more grateful for this once-in-a-lifetime journey.

Extremely enjoyable safari trip
My partner and I recently returned from a safari in Kenya and Tanzania, and we had an absolutely wonderful time! The trip exceeded our expectations and created memories we will cherish forever.
A huge part of this success was our guide and driver, Walter, who was truly exceptional. Walter went above and beyond to ensure we saw the animals in every part of the parks. His extensive knowledge of the wildlife and the terrain, combined with his dedication to giving us the best viewing opportunities, was simply outstanding. We felt incredibly comfortable and safe with him throughout the journey.
The entire trip was managed flawlessly. Everything was done in a professional and timely manner, which allowed us to relax and fully enjoy the experience without any worries.
Food & Accommodation:
The food throughout the safari was very good, often featuring a variety of delicious meals that were perfect after a long day of game drives. The accommodations were, for the most part, very nice and provided a comfortable place to rest. The only minor critique is that the accommodation in Arusha could have been a little better compared to the high standard set everywhere else.
Overall, this was an unforgettable safari adventure. We highly recommend this company and, especially, guide Walter for anyone considering a trip to Kenya and Tanzania!

Everything was amazing
Amazing Kenya Safari Adventure! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
My recent 7-day safari in Kenya was absolutely unforgettable! From the moment we left Nairobi to explore the Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, and Amboseli, every day was filled with incredible wildlife experiences and breathtaking landscapes.
Highlights of the trip included witnessing two lionesses skillfully hunting a young warthog, seeing a curious baby giraffe approach me just a few meters away, and spotting five cheetahs in Amboseli, which were even larger than the ones I had seen in Maasai Mara! The safari guides were knowledgeable and attentive, making sure we felt safe while getting the most out of each park.
Beyond the wildlife, I loved the serene landscapes, sunsets painting the savanna in pink and dark red hues, and the peaceful moments near the lakes. The combination of nature, adventure, and cultural encounters made this journey truly special.
I highly recommend this safari for anyone who wants to experience the raw beauty of Kenya, get close to wildlife, and create memories that will last a lifetime!

Masaai Mara is beautiful - book at least the 3 day tour
I booked the two day budget tour (starting and ending at Nairobi) and it was not enough time to experience Masaai Mara - highly recommend booking at least 3 days to get one full day safari in Masaai Mara. On the first day of the tour, we spent a long time waiting for the company to sort out the seating arrangements for everyone in each of the 4 x 4 land cruiser/van (there were three vehicles). We ended up in the van with a pop-up roof which was fine (but we were originally sitting in the 4 x 4). The ride to Masaai Mara was fine, we got there after a few hours and were able to have a fantastic evening safari (our driver was great!). Please note that we had a brief lunch stop (15 mins from memory) along the drive, it was not as per the itinerary where they said we'll have lunch at camp.
The next day, the morning safari ride was only 2 hours long because they said we have to be back at the main gate to switch to the van to go back to Nairobi. On the itinerary, it says drive back to camp for breakfast after the morning safari but we had to pack our bags in the van before the safari as we were not coming back to camp. After the safari, it took us at least 8 hrs to get back to Nairobi because we had to switch to 2 different vehicles (three all up), which was a giant time waster as we had to wait around (it took us 8 hrs from Masaai Mara to Nairobi).
We stayed at Miti Mingi Eco Camp, which was not great. The bathroom attached to the tent smelled and was not in the best condition. The roof of the bathroom was also not netted off so there were a lot of mosquitos in the bathroom waiting for us. The shower was also not great, the water was really hot so we could only shower with a trickle of water to avoid the scalding water. I'm glad we only booked for one night at that accommodation. I would suggest a mid range accommodation or the Jambo Mara lodge if possible. We have stayed at other permanent tented accommodations (e.g. near Kruger Park, Okavango Delta, etc) and the condition of Miti Mingi Eco Camp was the worst.

Profesional
Professional agency — we booked and paid the deposit. Two weeks before the trip, we had to cancel for health reasons. The agency (Kennedy) was understanding at all times and refunded our money. Truly professional — when we’re able to take the trip in the future, we’ll definitely go back to them. 100% recommended.
