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.

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

Safari, which exceeded our expectations
After a short research and comparison with several agencies, Bienvenido won us with flexible service and great price. We were group of friends and did 3 days safari in Amboseli and Tsavo East national parks with start Nairobi and end Diani beach area. The safari was fantastic, we saw lots of rare animals. The reserved loges were more than amazing. Our driver Mutemi was very knowledgeable, experienced and patient with us. We truly enjoyed our time with him, learning about parks and animals. Thank you for everything, the whole trip was very inspiring.

Best driver and best experience!
We loved the safari sooo much since everything worked out so easily! Not only the booking process was easy and the communication with Purity friendly but also the trip could be adapted flexibly as we wanted before!
Our driver Ged was really the BEST! He is the funniest, friendliest and most helpful driver we could have wished for! We had really so much fun with him - please give him a raise! :-)
Thank you Bienvenido!!

Beautiful experience in beautiful Kenya
I came across Bienvenido Tours via a safari comparison website. After a quite comprehensive research, I have decided to go for a 6 day safari covering Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Amboseli, Tsavo East with a drop off in Mombasa/Diani area to maximise on the sightseeing element. Right after meeting our guide Jedeliah at the airport, I knew we are going to enjoy our trip. He went above and beyond to make sure we had a good time and saw as many animals as possible. Jedeliah was very knowledgeable and had such a positive, upbeat energy! I truly enjoyed our time with him, learning about parks, animals, plants and everything in between. The trip itself was well planned in terms of accommodations and I can only sing praises about Purity and her attentiveness whilst being continuously bombarded with questions.
All in all, it was my first safari and I am happy I chose Bienvenido. This trip has definitely inspired me to learn more about beautiful Kenya - asante sana for this breathtaking experience!

Excellent value for money
If you are looking for at budget Safari, and don’t want to compromise the Safari-experience - Bienvendio is what you want.
We did the 6 day Masai Mara - Lake Nakuru - Amboseli tour, and had some awesome game-drives. All our needs were arranged for. The accomodation in Masai Mara and Amboseli was primitive, but good considering the budget. The hotel in Nakuru was nice.
The meals were good as well. Nothing fancy, mainly tourist-friendly lokal dishes.
Our driver Edward was very informative and made sure we saw a lot of animals (luck - which we had a lot of - is probably the main factor here though) and got really close to them.
The staff is really friendly and if you ask, they will help 100 %. An example: our Safari was taking place during UEFA’s Euro 2020, and our country was playing quaterfinals when we were in Amboseli (so no wifi, and we didn’t have lokal sim-cards). Our guide then arranged for the Camp to set up the lokal TV-Channel, so we could watch the game. This was very much appreciated!
Overall we had an awesome 6 days and would reccomend to anyone who doesn’t want to spend a fortune.
