Amazing trip to lake Nakuru and Masai Mara
5/5

A total of 4 days safary with CATS Africa Tours was way more then we expected it to be.
It was especially our driver Duncan who made it all to a lifetime experience.
He is a great driver in an area that was heavily effected by rain, he knows his way around the reserves, he has great knowledge about the animals, knows where to find them and how to approach them. He is a people person always ready to help others when they get in trouble and will make a detour to give his support (with our approval). Our 4x4 van with all the necessary equipment was of great help!

The accommodations were standard and fine for the trip that we made.

Amazing adventures with CATS Africa
5/5

This was an amazing adventure for us. We saw the Big Five and many other animals and places. We visited Amboseli, Lake Nakuru, and the Masai Mara. Our tour was organized professionally by the CATS Afrika. Everything went as planned. Big thanks for this to Joyce.
During our safari, our guide was Duncan, who is an experienced driver and he loves and knows the nature so much.
We highly recommend the CATS Afrika and Duncan, and we hope we will have a chance to come back sometime.

What we learned for the next time:
We selected the safari van for our tour, and it was the proper vehicle in Amboseli and in Lake Nakuru. In the Masai Mara the roads are extremely bumpy, so a Land Cruiser would be possibly better choice there.

Great experience, great support, great driver, great animals in Maasai Mara
5/5

Joyce from CATS Africe answered all our question promptly by e-mail before the booking. The payment by wire transfer to the CATS bank account was completed without problems in one day and Joyce confirmed immediately.
As agreed in the contract, Moses, our guide and driver for the next 3 days, picked us on time with a Landcruiser from Karen little paradise, were we've been pampered by a wonderfull staff for the last 3 days. Moses is a very experienced guide and driver, we never felt unsafe during the trip, neither on the 4.5 hrs way to Maasai Mara nor in the Natl Park itself. Moses answered all our questions very professionally and he found all the spots where we could see hyaenas, lions, cheetahs, hypos and even a leopard and of course elephants and so on. At the mara river we finally witnessed the migration of thousends of animals which was a very magnificient nand unique spectacle. All things considered, we really can recommend CATS Africa, everything was perfect, from the booking until the return to the hotel in Nairobi. Thanks again to Joyce and Moses, we always felt to be in good hands.

Excellent experience with CATS Africa
5/5

It was an wonderfull 3 days in Masai mara along with Jack. We have enjoyed the over all trip and many thanks to Jack for showing us the big five. He is a nice, friendly person and have good knowledge over the forest. Also I will mention about Sekanani Camp where we stayed. Camp area designed very well. Accomodation, service and foods are perfect beyond expectations. We finished our program taking dinner Nairobi's best restaurant Carnivore that experince was totaly perfect. Finally, I appreciate Mrs joyce who always supported us through timely communications and advices to make it a successful trip. I will recommend to go ahead with this team to get the smell of Africa.

Excellent service, with the best tour guide.. A safari that exceeded our expectations!
5/5

CATS Africa Tours, is an excellent option to make a safari to Kenya. They adjust the perfect trip to your needs.
We visited the main safari destinations like: Amboseli (amazing!!), Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara, where we were lucky enough to see the big 5 and twice!!
Each destination is meant to be different than the other one, where you can experience different things, meet new people and see different animals. In every place there was a new animal that we hadn't seen.
I truly recommend going to a Masai Village, because you get to know a different culture, their costumes and their lifestyle.

The hotels where great, very clean, nice, good food, close to the parks, and with excellent attention.
The communication with the agency was very good, they cleared all of our doubts and responded immediately.
About our tour guide...he was the best, he did everything in his power to make the most of our trip.

An Amazing Trip from the Best in Service and Guiding - CATS Africa Tours
5/5

Prior to booking our safari, I did a lot of research on Safari Bookings. I looked at various options. I looked at the reviews. And from there I submitted my requests for a quote. I wanted to see how quickly the company representatives responded, what information they shared with me and then how they responded to questions I had.

CATS Africa Tours answered all my needs and provided a package that my son and I were looking for. I was impressed from the first correspondence that Joyce, their Operations Manager, sent me. She was timely, personable and provided quality information. Her great customer service continued all the way through the process including a phone call greeting us upon our arrival and calling again as the safari was ending to make sure everything was as expected. And it was wonderful!!!

Contact with the company is very important, but your driver/guide is the critical part. And Duncan was absolutely superb!!! He was prompt, cleaned the van each night, and his knowledge of the parks and animals was great!! Not only was he full of information, but he did a great job in listening to the radio regarding where the “action” was taking place. It seems like everyone’s desire is to see “The Big Five”. We did that and more!!

It was a great trip with lots of pictures and memories. If I were to do this again, I would definitely go back to CATS Africa Tours. We were very satisfied!!

Amazing Tour & Amazing Company
5/5

Our trip to Maasai Mara exceeded our expectations. Throughout the booking process Ms. Joyce Njeri (Operations Manager) was extremely patient, informative & understanding. She answered all my questions patiently through emails (lots of emails). The communication was too good that Ms. Joyce replied to every email with details very promptly.

Our driver/ tour guide Ms. Joseph Mayungu was amazing. He knew the park very well, he knew all the animals, and he explained to us everything very well. We were not fortunate enough to spot the Big 5, but we have seen the Big 4 & several other animals & birds.

Matira Main camp was awesome. We are very much impressed with all of the lodging.

Joyce & Joseph, once again, Thanks for everything.
