For the third time we have had a beautiful 5 days safari with Anthony.
5/5

Anthony is passioned of the wildlife and can tell a lot about de wildparcs and the animals. He knows every road, and every place in the parcs, he does'nt need a map, it's all n his had. He orgenized a very good and variable program and we have had nice experiences in the parcs and in the lodges. His only main is to let you enjoy as much as is possible and he asked often what we wished. He is flexible in changing the program when that's needed or whisful.
He is a very good timemaneger, we never had to wait and we were always in time in the lodges. He never forget to ask if everything was allright in the lodge, about the food and the gamedrives.
We can recommendate him for a very good safari in Kenya.

Couldn't be easier
5/5

Our experience with Antonio Safaris was nothing short of excellent. We chose Antonio Safaris because of their superior quote, which was head and shoulders above the rest, the ease with which they accommodated our custom itinerary and their choices for lodging. The accommodations and food were great. Best of all, the game drives were exciting and highly successful. Our guide, Anthony, was professional and accommodating throughout. I heartily recommend Antonio Safaris for anyone looking to have the unique East African wildlife experience.

Excellent Safari
5/5

I dont have enough words to describe the experience I had with Antonio Safaris. We visited Lake Navaisha, Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara and Amboseli national park for a 6 day private safari.

Antonio, our guide, was simply amazing and provided us with a very memorable trip. He is very skilled at spotting all the animals, with over 13 years in the field. He is also very knowledgeable about the animals and gave us a proper overview of each mammal we saw and their key facts and characteristics.

His eyes are like binoculars - he can spot animals from very far away. We saw almost all of the Big Five and millions of zebra, elephants, cheetah and so many lions.

Antonio Safaris organized the whole trip for us from start to finish and was extremely flexible with last minute changes. If you go with him for your Safari, you won't regret it!

Amazing experience with Antonio
5/5

Hands down the best vacation ever! Our guide, Antonio, was the best guide ever and we had the most superb and excellent time with him on our safari.

During our 6 day private safari trip, we saw almost every animal imaginable - from a family of cheetahs, to multiple prides of lions, troops of 20+ baboons, millions of zebras, elephants and hundreds of wildebeest. This was all thanks to Antonio's great eye and skill at spotting animals that one would normally need a binocular just to see. Antonio was extremely knowledgeable about the wildlife and is like a walking encyclopedia - he had answers to all our questions and knew all the facts about each animal. He was also very skilled at understanding animal behavior, which contributed to a very high success rate when it came to viewing the Big Five. Our trip felt like we were in an episode of the National Geographic.

I let Antonio Safaris take the lead with planning the trip itinerary and it did not disappoint. The car that they provided was perfect - a specially outfitted jeep with retractable windows to keep the dust out, and a retractable roof to allow for 360 degree views of wildlife. Free water was provided throughout the trip and the jeep was cleaned nightly to keep it looking brand new for the next day.

Aside from the safari, Antonio and Naomi provided us with top notch service. In the lead up to the trip, Antonio Safaris planned an extensive itinerary for us and customized it to our liking. They provided great suggestions for hotels, and we were extremely pleased with the resorts that were selected. Many of them had watering holes or even zebras and hippos on the grounds, so it felt like we were on a safari 24/7. They even accommodated last minute changes due to an unexpected family emergency. Inquiries were responded to almost immediately, or under 30 minutes or less.

Overall, I would HIGHLY recommend Antonio Safaris. You will not regret it. I am already planning my next trip to Tanazania with this company.

Antonio Safaris is a very responsive and very catering safari operator!
5/5

Everything went smoothly and almost exactly as planned. Emails were responded to within 24 hours, if not immediately.
We had 3 different drivers/guides. First, Charles picked us up in Nairobi and drove us to The Carnivore, The Kenyan National Museum, and Safaricom for sim card purchase. This was a last minute addition to our 6-day flying safari package. Everything went smoothly (mostly) and we had a good day. The next morning, Charles picked us up to go to Wilson Airport to fly into Amboseli. I was a little surprised that Charles didn't know which airline we were taking, but luckily, I downloaded all the itinerary and resort/flight reservations and we spent a few minutes looking for the terminal.
The flight was smooth, and once we arrived in Amboseli, we went straight into a game drive with Mr. Enoch. The car was older, but clean. He pointed out most of the native birds and animals, showing us pictures in his wildlife book. He had a sixth sense with these animals. We learned a lot about spotting different creatures. On the other hand, OlTukai Lodge (pretty popular and 4+ rating on TripAdvisor) was disappointing. The rooms were decent, but the food was terrible. Not Antonio Safari's fault. I would recommend a different resort. Faith, our safari coordinator, was very helpful in making little tweaks here and there to suit our needs.
We flew to Masai Mara and we're greeted by Mr. Benson. The car was newer and also clean. There was a cooler with water bottles and wifi in the car. He is super friendly and also very knowledgeable about animals and the parks. We stayed 2 days in Masai Mara (Mara Serena) and 1 day in Nakuru (Sarova Lion Hill). Both were good resorts, but the weather wasn't cooperating with us. Benson did his best to wait out the rain and still look for the Great 5. We saw everything (incl. White and Black Rhinos), except Leopards. On our way back to Nairobi, he stopped by a mall for us to grab lunch.
Overall, very nice experience and highly recommend to everyone!

Incredible, caring and great value.
5/5

What an incredible experience myself and my partner had with Antonio Safaris

The booking process was simple and Naomi made sure we got the perfect trip organised just the way we wanted it.

Our tour guide for the Safari was Antonio and this man is a legend. So knowledgeable about the parks and animals and somehow ensured we had incredible views of all the animals.

Antonio is polite but so funny and definitely had our best interests at heart the entire trip.

I can't say enough good things about this experience and I want to say a huge thank you to Antonio Safaris for making it so memorable.

I would 100% recommend them to anyone.

Excellent service and well organised
5/5

We booked this trip for our honeymoon and have been blown away by the fantastic experience that Antonio Safaris have provided. The booking process was easy and communication with Naomi was always quick, polite and informative. She made sure all my questions were answered! The payment process was also easy.

At the start of our safari, Antonio was our driver and came on time for our pick up at the hotel. He was very friendly and quick to make us feel welcome. The vehicle is spacious and comfortable. During our time in each of the parks, Antonio always made sure we had the best view and was determined to make sure we saw everything we wanted. He was super knowledgeable about all the parks and the animals, he was very happy to answer any questions. He also has superhuman vision which was great as he could spot things we couldn't.

Overall, we had an excellent experience and exceeded our expectations, we could not recommend Antonio Safaris enough!!
