The magical safari
In August 2023, my wife and I decided to go on safari to Kenya. When planning a trip, we contacted several companies and chose Bienvenido Kenya tours and safaris from all of them. When booking, the company manager always answered our questions in a timely and detailed manner. We chose a 6 day group safari to visit the Maasai Mara, Narusha and Ambosele. We needed to adjust the tour program and return not to Nairobi, but to the border with Tanzania. Company representatives agreed to this without any problems.
The safari was organized at a high level. Driver Paul deserves special thanks. Not only is he a good driver, but he is also an excellent guide. We traveled in a comfortable minibus with all-wheel drive and a pop-up roof. We had no problems passing obstacles in the parks, and on the route between the parks we moved very quickly and comfortably. We were able to see all the big five, getting up close to lions, giraffes and elephants. Paul always chose convenient stops for opportunities to photograph animals. And most importantly, everything was organized in a timely manner and without delays, which is not always the case in Africa.
Despite the fact that the tour was inexpensive, the company Bienvenido kenya tours and safaris booked accommodation for us in good camps and hotels. The food was organized perfectly. There was fresh and tasty food everywhere.
We definitely recommend Bienvenido kenya tours and safaris for safaris.

PERFECT SAFARI
Perfect safari experience. We visited a lot of place in 6 days. The distances in Kenya are very long and you will pass a lot of time for a tranfer by a car between the different park but to be the first time in Kenya was important to visit the highest numbuer of place possible. I also to say that durign our car tranfer we saw the real kenya and a lot of smal characteristic towns
Our guide Ged was very kind e professional

Life Time Trip To remember- 6 days to Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru & Amboseli
My wife and our 1 year old son booked 6 days Safari with Bienvenido Kenya Tours and Safaris to Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli. We had the best guide ever, Allen. He took us in our 6 day safari giving us a lot of background on his Maasai origins and the tribe. He was very patient with us and super friendly! We had the best time thanks to him, also we managed to see all the famous big 5 plus other animals, thanks to his knowledge and willingness to make us have a great experience! We also did the hot air balloon safari ride and it was amazing! It is totally worth the money and the early wake up! We have already recommended this 6 day safari to all our friends! We highly recommend the package to any other visitor. Thank you so much Bienvenido.

Unforgettable 8-day tour from Nairobi to Watamu with Daniel
We booked a 7 day private tour from Nairobi to Mombasa and added an extra day to visit Tsavo West en route, thus making it an 8 day tour of Masai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha, Amboseli, Tsavo West and Tsavo East. Purity was great in organizing everything from day 1. We opted for a 4x4 jeep and budget accommodation, which was more than adequate, especially tented camps in Masai Mara and Amboseli and the lodges in Tsavo West and Tsavo East which simply took our breath away.
Special thanks goes to our driver guide Daniel, who made our journey really unforgettable. Punctual from day one, his timing for departure and arrival times across different destinations was impeccable, he was fearless on the road and we were really impressed how he made sure our 4x4 was in good condition every day, by checking tire pressure and drivetrain after every park - making sure the vehicle was clean and in good condition throughout our cross-country trip. He is someone you can trust to keep you safe even when the aggressive elephants of Tsavo come too close, showing his qualities as an experienced guide. His knowledge of animal species and their behavioral patterns was really impressive and he really put in an effort to make sure we see the Big 5 and much much more. We would definitely do it again, next time maybe visiting less parks and staying longer in each. Until next time, Bienvenido and Daniel!

3 Day Safari to Amboseli National Park
Our experience was absolutely fantastic. I wasn't sure where to start searching for safari's and to be honest was a little weary of the vast number of companies and who might or might not be legit. Using SafariBooking was a great tool for us to find a tour that was perfect for our schedule. We had to be in Rwanda for business and decided to travel a few days earlier to get in a quick safari.
Right from the start, communication and responses were quick and provided all the information requested. I didn't find any official website so this is where the skepticism came into play, but the night before we received contact information for our driver and he was there to pick us up at our scheduled time. Due to the tour we booked and timing, we managed to have a tour bus just for the two of us (it was just my mother and I traveling).
Travel out to the park was an experience, not being used to how travellers drive on the road took a while to get use to. Travel out to the park took about 5 hours and we stopped just off the main road at this store/market type place that had souvenirs from the local villages. We arrived at the park on day 1 about noon so we were able to drop our bags off and head to the dining room for lunch. We decided to upgrade for the superior lodging (Serena Lodge) and it was a great experience. Rooms were nice and spacious, clean and we had netting round the beds. We didn't get a chance to lay by the pool. In the morning before heading out for the morning game drive we did have some animals just off the property near the back terrace.
Our schedule for the 3 days were as follows: Day 1 - 7am pick up, noon arrival at lodge, 6pm game drive, Day 2 - 6am - 8/9 game drive returning for breakfast then 6pm game drive. Day 3 - 6-8 game drive, 11 am departure for Nairobi Airport. We got 4 game drives and we felt this was enough for us given the short time we had. We saw all the animals we wanted to except the cheetah, we saw giraffes, elephants were lucky enough to get close to a lion and lioness.
Overall we had a great experience for what we paid and would highly recommend to anyone interested.

Clear communication and an exciting ride!
I needed some accommodation for the trip so I emailed them a few months before. They were flexible about my needs and the communication went really smooth and everything was clear. Planning went well. I was expecting the unexpected on the day of the trip, but our guide Jed was super knowledgeable about the experience so I felt taken care of. We had interesting conversations during the lunch stop as well! I hope Jed is doing well, and absolutely recommend this tour.

Sincere response
I took 4D3N Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru safari.
On the last day, they listened to my request to be in time for the flight leaving Kenya in the evening, so they actually arranged to arrive at the airport 4 hours before departure.
Also, even though 40 minutes passed on the first day of the safari, there was no pick-up, but when I made an inquiry, they responded sincerely and I was able to participate in the tour safely.

Very flexible, friendly, and well run operation.
We had a good experience with Bienvenido. Our driver Bosco was friendly and great at finding animals, constantly communicating with other drivers throughout the parks to find the best places to go. I also appreciated their flexibility in terms of pickup and drop off locations and times. Red Elephant Lodge in Tsavo is really great for the money as well.

Amazing lifetime experience in the savanna
Everything was very good prepared and organised for us. Kenyan style is “pole pole” however all with the trip was in a very good level - the best safari guide - Mutemi who has more than 16 years of experience in this and can show you everything you want and you have the lick to experience. We were so happy to be with him. The places for sleeping were very good, we were on time and we were pleased to have all this on this price and and we were absolutely happy with the service. I recommend the company and especially Mutemi
