The guide knew everything: routes, wildlife, and fun facts. It was a great experience!
Our trip through Kenya was truly unforgettable. From the very first contact, communication was clear and smooth, and everything was perfectly organized.
During the journey, we were impressed by the beautiful accommodations, great service, and incredible сафари experiences. Our guide Ian made it extra special with his knowledge, enthusiasm, and excellent driving skills, allowing us to see an amazing amount of wildlife.
Even when we got sick during the trip, the team responded quickly and took great care of us, which really showed their reliability and commitment.
The value for money is excellent, and the entire trip felt completely worry-free. We would highly recommend this experience to anyone wanting to discover Kenya in a unique and unforgettable way

Friendly, knowledgeable and caring.
We had a very nice experience traveling with Fika safaris. From the first moment we met (online) they were very friendly and quick in terms of response. All wishes we had were discussed and taking into account, while also considering our budget.
During the safari both me and my girlfriend got sick, both our tour guide and the organizers were very helpful and came up with tips and checked in regularly. They really cared about our wellbeing and stayed in touch continuously. The personal touch was great.

A perfect farewell
FIKA Safari skillfully helped us (Lisbeth & Flemming and son Martin & wife Ann) put together a perfect Farewell Safari to mark Lisbeth's 80th birthday and the 40++ years since we left Kenya.
With John Wachira Kariuki as a friendly and very competent driver & guide we visited Mt Kenya, The Ark at Nyeri, Sopa Resort at Lake Naivasha, Karen Blixen Cottages & Garden in Karen, Severin Camp in Tsavo and the gem Waterlovers Beach Resort on Diani Beach.
We also visited our former workplace (with MS/DVS in 1971/72) Limuru Boys Center, which now as a YMCA agricultural school skillfully continues founder Bob Mein's ideals of "Learn to Live"
It was great to see again a completely changed Nairobi and an ever-larger beautiful country, where the middle class has become very visible and with a population we didn't have to say many words in Swahili to before we could joke and laugh together.

Responsible Tour Operator
We had three days safari trip to Amboseli with Fika safaris. Although it was a short trip, we had a wonderful time with our guide David. David is very experienced and knowledgeable about wildlife, and we truly enjoyed the days we spent with him. He was also very considerate — because of the unrest in Tanzania and the changes to our plans, David helped me a lot with contacting people and obtaining information, which we appreciated very much. We also saw David cleaning our safari car’s windows every morning and carefully putting a blanket over our luggage, even when the car was still quite clean. That showed care and commitment, like he really wanted us to have the best experience possible in Kenya. Even on the last day, on our way to Nairobi airport, there was quite some traffic on the road and the way David handled that really amazed us. He proactively checked in with some of his colleagues to understand the situation, looked for alternative routes, and in the end took a shortcut that saved us a significant amount of time. We were very grateful for his effort there.
Also, special thanks to Robert for helping us arrange everything, and for being willing to offer support during the period when our flight situation was still uncertain.
For sure, we would like to be back to Kenya with Fika for a longer experience in the future.

Great first safari experience!
Our first safari experience was with Fika Safaris. Great organization that listens well to your wishes. We discussed our wishes in advance with a live meeting via Teams. Robert and Ester provide great personal guidance. We had a great experience, beautiful lodges, good food and saw a lot of wildlife. Our guide David is a great spotter, safe driver and has a great sense of humor. The car was well set up to get the most out of photography.
We will definitely go on safari with Fika Safaris again, it was amazing!

Highly Recommended!
From the moment I received the response from Robert regarding my questions of a family safari trip in Kenya, I knew Fika was a dependable agency. Robert was courteous and considerate, expressing his points of view and recommendations in neutrality. While the process from customizing the itinerary, specific accommodation, to final booking and payments was smooth, the real gem came in after arrival in Nairobi and the tour itself. Not only did Robert come and meet us for a briefing (despite all had already been clear on the itinerary sheet) on the first day, he also checked in via texting during the journey, making sure my family and I were happy, safe and sound. The lodges and tented camps we stayed at were above expectation: amenities, comfort, food and services were all commendable.
And our guide, John (W. Kariuki), was just fantastic. With many years of experience in guiding safaris (and hikes), he’s knowledgeable of the wild life and food chain dynamics, and laudably respectful of the nature. He’s reliable and thoughtful, making sure we were comfortable. For instance, I mentioned in passing that we loved any fruit in season (i.e. mangoes), which he took a mental note of and had in his plan (and did) to buy mangoes on the way! I was also impressed by his calm demeanor during “crisis”. We had a flat tire towards the end of a game drive; with no show of frustration (spare tires didn’t really fit!), he just got it sorted and done. Oat the end of the final game drive, he surprised us with drinks and finger food served at the Poacher’s Lookout, appreciating the plains west of the Amboseli ecosystem and Kilimanjero, with the music from Out of Africa.
Above all, what I truly appreciated was that there’s no “incidental” visit to tribes/villages (most of which were tourist traps, in my personal opinion) and, to fight deforestation, we were given by Fika 2 bags of Acacia seeds coated in charcoal dust to spread in the national parks!
Thank you, Fika, for such a memorable safari!

Perfect match. Perfect personal travel plan
We had a very good time in Kenia due to Fika Safaris. They take the time to know what you want and then make a travel plan. Very good experience. Also a very good and friendly tour guide David!

Their itinerary planning and service matched perfectly with our needs and expectations
We had a wonderful 10 days in Kenya thanks to Fika Safaries. Their service was completely personalized and and helped match our expectations with the experience. Ester and Robert made us feel welcome and were very responsive to any questions we had or changes we needed to make. They also put together a great trip for us at a very short notice where they took into account the level of comfort we needed as well getting to see the best of kenyan safaris. The transport and travelling were seamless, beautiful accomodations..and the safaris glorious.
