Unforgettable experience seeing the wonders of Kenya
My dad and I booked Antonio Safaris for a two day/one night tour of Amboseli, including transportation to/from Nairobi. The experience was everything we had hoped for and then some.
Evans was an amazing guide — very considerate and easy to talk to and incredibly knowledgeable about all the wildlife we saw. We went on two game drives through Amboseli and saw elephants, zebras, wildebeest, buffalo, lions, and many other creatures.
We stayed at Ol Tukai in Amboseli as part of our booking, which we’d also recommend. A beautiful lodge, and not every day that you walk outside to zebras and elephants in your backyard.
Thanks again Evans for an amazing two days and for showing us the beauty of Kenya.

Incredible first safari experience
We had an amazing time with Antonio Safaris. Our guide, Evans, was super knowledgeable and very accommodating to our needs. The itinerary was varied and allowed us to see all different types of terrains and more importantly, the big 5! I would highly recommend this tour to other people and special shout out to Evans who made our tour all the more special!

Extremely Qualified, Personable, and Professional Team
Although my wife and I are relatively experienced travelers, this was our first experience on safari, so in choosing our operator we were both systematic and meticulous in preparing our shortlist and, ultimately, selecting Antonio’s as our operator. In the final analysis, in their capacity they excelled.
Ours was a 9-month planning process, ultimately resulting in a shortlist of 5 operators between which we’d selected their respective standard packages of 8 days in Amboseli and Maasai Mara. During our process to choose amongst these 5 finalists, Naomi of Antonio’s front office proved to be both attentive and patient in answering our various queries as they emerged. In ultimately deciding between those on our shortlist, Naomi won out by working patiently with us to customize our itinerary, tailoring the number of days at each location to suit our personal preferences, and her patience in working with us and her patient attentiveness were amongst the biggest deciding factors in our going with Antonio’s.
Arriving in Nairobi, our luggage did not arrive with us, and the airline informed us they wouldn’t arrive until the following morning, coinciding with the first day of our tour. In working through the problem, Naomi coordinated the timing of our bag’s arrival with our itinerary and our driver Francis to come up with a plan plus a contingency plan to avert what might otherwise have been a disaster. In the end, we met Francis at our hotel, picked up our bags at the airport enroute, and were smoothly on our way for day one of our safari adventure, proving that our trust in Antonio’s was well placed.
We spent the next 8 days with our guide Francis, who is as warm, attentive, and personable fellow as one may hope to happen upon, especially in a strange and foreign land, and he became our eyes and our teacher and we made our way upon our Great Adventure. Amboseli and Maasai Mara are some distance apart, requiring the crossing of vast tracts of countryside on under often trying driving conditions. He proved very skillful at negotiating highway conditions at the optimal balance between speed and safety, and we always felt safe in our Land Rover bubble. Kenyan roads are pockmarked with potholes, and he always did his level best in steering to avoid the worst of them. Moreover, in navigating the routing he reached out to other guides to determine that which could avoid the 18-wheeler snarls that plague some portions of that country’s highways.
Along the way he was attentive to our needs, constantly checking if we wanted another bottle of water or needed a roadside rest. Whenever asked, whether it was Mt. Longenot, the Devil’s Gate, or the Loita Plains he always seemed know both the local landmark and something of it’s history. His knowledge of the animals and their habits proved to be exceptional, and whenever we encountered a new species we’d not yet seen he would come to a gradual stop, point the animal out, and describe something of its characteristics for us. In this way we rounded out our understanding as elephants, zebras, Grant’s and Thompson’s gazelles, wildebeest, giraffes, hartebeest, topi, impala, buffalo, hippos, elephants, ostrich, jackals, cheetahs, lions, and many, many others were gradually added to our visual repertoire.
In addition to his personal skills, Francis proved to be an avid and accomplished professional guide. His extreme patience in awaiting the animal’s next move, combined with his uncanny ability to anticipate its movements, paid dividends. This culminated on our last day when we were rewarded with his situating us in the unexcelled vantage point to observe a cheetah’s hunt of a gazelle, beginning with the cat’s quiet observation of its prey, the launching of her chase, the gazelle’s dodging escape, and the cheetah’s finally settling in to await its next hunt.
Altogether, one could not hope for a more professional, qualified, experienced, and personable safari crew than that of Antonio’s and we wholeheartedly and without reservation recommend them to anyone planning their perfect safari dream adventure.

Best Masai Mara Tour
We spent three days travelling with Anthony. Two of those days were in the Masai Mara, and we were very impressed! He told us so much about the animals and the national park in general. Anthony was incredibly patient, and even after what felt like the hundredth photo of the sunset, he stopped again for us. We can recommend him 100% and would book him again for our next trip!

Majestic Moments, Expertly Delivered
After a long search through many safari tours, we decided to go with Antoniosafaris,and from that moment on, luck was on our side throughout the entire trip.
From planning our route and accommodations with Naomi, who was incredibly responsive and gave us great advice via email and WhatsApp, to riding through the safari with Antonio himself, everything felt seamless. Antonio was informative, helpful, patient, and clearly passionate about his work. His hospitality made us feel comfortable and safe every step of the way.
This was our family’s first safari experience, traveling with our two daughters, and Antoniosafaris made it truly unforgettable. We have zero regrets about booking with them, it was one of the best decisions we made for this trip.

Very well organized
We did a 4 days safari between Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha and Amboseli parks. Since the planning phase, Naomi was very effective. All the tour was well organized and we had no issues at all. Our guide Enock was amazing and allowed us to see a lot of animals in a very short period. We definetly recommend this tour operator.

Once in a lifetime, unforgettable experience
We had a great experience with Antonio Safaris. Great communication, great custom itinerary, and amazing guides.
Anthony was our tour guide for Masai Mara and Lake Naivasha & "Rhino" was our guide for Ol Pejeta. They are both knowledgeable, friendly, and enthusiastic about sharing their passion for their country and the beautiful animals and people that live in it. The company was very responsive with us and recommended great locations within budget. Transparency and honesty is something else we appreciated from this company. We recommend them to any viewers and family and friends as well! ASANTE SANA!

A smooth and amazing experience
This was definitely an unforgettable experience. Naomi was our contact person. She is very friendly and responds very quickly. We asked for a 6-day safari quote. She is very considerate and has provided different versions of the quote so we can compare and decide. And a huge thank you to Evans, our tour guide. He is friendly, professional, knowledgeable and has great driving skills. This was our first time to Kenya and first safari trip. He had shown us so many different birds and we even got a photo of an owl with pink eyelid. I still don’t know how he found it. The owl was sleeping and looked like a tree branch from distance. We also saw hyenas, lions, leopards, cheetah and of course so many zebra, topi, gazelle, wildebeests, elephants, giraffes, gerenuk, jackals and more! It was a safe, fun and happy experience and we highly recommend Antonio Safari.

Experienced and responsible
I booked my Amboseli and Masai Mara safaris with Antonio Safaris. Antonio is not only the owner of the company but also a highly experienced guide with over 10 years in the field. Traveling with him was truly enjoyable, and I had an amazing safari experience.
Although we didn’t manage to spot leopards or rhinos—since it’s peak season and you usually have to start very very early to have a slight chance—it actually gave us a reason to look forward to our next trip back Kenya. We did, however, witness incredible moments like a cheetah hunting and feeding, a majestic lion, and entire prides of lions, along with so many other unforgettable scenes of wildlife on the savannah.
A safari in Kenya is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and I wholeheartedly recommend Antonio Safari. They are professional, reliable, and made the journey unforgettable!
