Very exotic safari with a incredible guide
If you want to learn anything about Kenya wildlife you just have to get Karanja and his green car. Its the best way! Amazing journey that started in Nairobi, then to Lake Nakuru where we have seen a real chase. Karanja (safari guide) is always looking for this moments and the peacefull ones.
Masai Mara was the REAL safari, and doing our first safari of life here with Karanja was really amazing and believe me, National Geographic is wonderfull but this is awsome.
First you decide what you want to see and for how long and Karanja look for it. We have seen cheetah, leopard, elephants, buffalos, lion, lioness, giraffes, zebras, rhinos, crocodiles, bushbuck, gazelles...
Karanja took us to a places where nobodys was and we've seen dozens of elephants, lionesses, and beautifuls and rares antelops in a absolute silence. And that part was perfect to us because so much people and so much cars around you is a litle bit annoying (second week of July is very crowdy because of the wildbeests imigration, but - for us - is the best time to do safaris: all the animals are starving and ready to kill to eat).
Karanja is a very good professional safari guide because he respect all the nature and the animals around you. You feel that you are in a sanctuary very well protected and you feel that all animals matters, not only the big 5.
It was a dream and a privilege to be in Kenya with Features Africa Journeys and we certainly come back soon to see others nationals parks with this amazing tour operator.

An incredible experience!
It was a very good time in the trips we did with Features Africa, they are very professional, pleasant, respectful, and very concerned about people. They also speak Spanish, which for us was very helpful, since communication made it easier for us. When we visited the Amboseli National Park they told us about the animals we could find, they played music in the background and that makes your visit to the park more exciting. We saw a lot of animals, I never imagine seeing so many, they know the place very well and they know exactly where each of the animals are.
The van is super comfortable, wide, the roof rises and that makes you can stand looking at the animals and take very good pictures.
I thank Features Africa, for making me live an unforgettable experience, for making the dream of seeing all those animals a reality, and being able to know beautiful places in Kenya, all this makes me want to return to that place and live new experiences !
Asante sana :)

Well organised, great customer service, fab wildlife, an excellent humourous and knowledgeable guide
We had a great time on our game drive round Nairobi National Park. Features Africa gave great customer service during the booking process and always replied to my queries quickly and professionally. They allowed us to tailor our day to visit the places we wanted.
The safari tour itself was excellent. Our guide (I think his name was Francis) clearly new the park very well and also communicated with other guides which meant that we saw a buffalo being (briefly) attacked by lions. He was also very knowledgeable about all the animals we saw and was able to answer my barrage of questions. We were given lots of information about the social structures and family groups of the different species we saw which I was particularly interested in.
We saw a huge number and variety of animals on our game drive (including lions, giraffes, rhinos, buffalos, hippos, zebras, impalas and many many more) which I still can't believe all live so closely to Nairobi.
Even the journey back through Nairobi after the tour was interesting and entertaining with Francis giving us lots of information about life in Kenya.

Not 1st time in Kenya.The tour guide, his equipment, and knowledge provided exhilarating travel.mdd
This was not the first time I went on safari in Kenya, but it was my first time with this company. They are fabulous. You will never forget your trip. I was glad to have a tour guide who loves what he does, the actual owner of his business. He knew where to find different animals in the park, and had an impressive advanced knowledge of the ins and outs of the park. In Nairobi National park, we found a black rhino whose picture I really wanted to take, but I had not mastered my new cannon 70D. No problem. Mr. Karanja s a fabulous photographer. He set the camera, and I came away with wonderful shots. So there was that extra advantage of having tech support when I needed it. You need a guide who stops when you want to stop, and Mr. KAranja was always willing to stop when, if, and as long as we wanted. I had not booked him for my trip to Nakuru national Park, but he gave us invaluable advice about it. He was very friendly and his van was super comfortable, and I definitely loved the way he got along with my teenage daughter who was traveling with me. I will travel to Kenya in the next two years, and I will not spend a moment looking for anyone else. I have used other companies before, but not any more. If you are planning to visit Kenya, look no further. If you are in a group or a family, you will be in good hands.

A Memorable Safari
We organised our holidays in December with Features Africa Journeys.
Karanja responded to our request on time with various options and we finally settled for a 06 day tour.
The safari was incredible. The guide was exceptional in finding us the animals!
Kenya is a good choice for a first-time African safari or for all time favorite travellers like us, who call it our second home.
From the Aberdare Ranges and the majestic Mount Kenya, to beautiful and scenic Rift Valley lakes where flocks of flamingos in Lake Baringo, to the Masai Mara Reserve, a personal favorite which offers some of the best all year game viewing in a big eco system.
Our safari ended with some zen moments on Diani beach, which was recently voted one of the finest beaches of the world is also another favorite!
The overall experience, professionalism and service was excellent and exceeded our expectations.
We would not hesitate to recommend Features Africa to anyone looking to travel to Kenya.
We returned home to the Netherlands feeling happy and fullfilled!
Asante sana Features Africa Journeys, we will definitely be back!!!
