We visited Kenya in February. Our flights, accomodation, safari trip, safari driver - all services were exceptional and the highest quality. We enjoyed Sand River safari so much! Thank you for organizing this experience!

Exceptional Safari Experience
5/5

We had a wonderful experience. We booked with African Challenge Safari company, and owner Kennedy picked us up from the airport and took us to our hotel in Nairobi, Eka hotel; very nice hotel with wonderful breakfast. The next day, Kennedy and our driver/guide picked us up to start the trip. Daniel was with us throughout, and was exceptional; knowledgeable, friendly and great driver on the bumpy park trails. We saw tons of animals in Masai Mara, Lake Nukuru and Amboseli, and the hotels and food was excellent. Everything went smoothly, we thoroughly enjoyed our trip. I highly recommend African Safari Challenge and owner Kennedy, driver/guide Daniel.

An unforgettable safari in Mara at Serian camp with African Challenge safaris
5/5

We had a breathtaking safari experience. We were a group of 5 looking for a safari experience and from planning the safari Mr Kennedy was really helpful. He booked us in at the Serian camp where we were to stay for 3 nights. He took care of everything really well, we able to see the beautiful wildlife and to be honest we had a really good time. The staff at Serian camp were really hospitable. I would highly recommend African Challenge safaris and we'll definitely return for another experience. Thank you Mr Kennedy for your help.

A romantic getaway to Loisaba luxury camp
5/5

I was looking for a romantic getaway for my wife's birthday and I found a safari to Loisaba luxury camp in Laikipia from African Challenge Safaris. On the day of arrival Mr Ken surprised my wife with flowers and a bottle of wine, she was so delighted. The staff at Loisaba were so friendly and gave us great service. The food was really enjoyable. Our safari experience was just amazing thanks to Mr Ken. We will definitely come back

Thank you Mr Ken and everyone who made our romantic getaway a success

I had an amazing time, it's a day I'll always remember
5/5

It was my parent's anniversary and I was shopping for a gift for them. I came across African Challenge Safaris and I had a pleasure of meeting Mr. Kennedy. He tailor made an itinerary that really suited my parents and met their needs. Actually, this was their first time on Masai Mara and they really had an amazing time from their pickup point in Nairobi to Karen Blixen in Mara. Mr. Kennedy had arranged for a bottle of wine and some flowers for them which made their experience more romantic. Lest I forget, the treatment they got at Karen Blixen. The staff were so friendly and accommodative, the chef made the most amazing meals and baked for us a cake. Our experience was just amazing and I would recommend African Challenge Safaris to anyone planning for a safari or tour.

Thank you Kennedy, be blessed.

Amazing!
5/5

Those cottages are just amazing!! The the 3days we had felt like a just a day. The fact that there are several restaurants around makes the experience even exceptionally different. The staff were friendly and seem to have mastered well the history of place and it's environs. They just made us feel comfortable. The grounds are beautiful and well manicured adding some more ambience to the experience. Definitely a five star experience.

I had been thinking of the perfect gift to give to my mum on her 60th birthday did my window shopping and saw amazing reviews of African challenge safaris I wrote them an email and they came up with an excellent package for us.I was excited because my mum has never been to the Maasai Mara.On that day the driver picked us up at our house and we were at Karen blixen Maasai Mara at 10am on arrival we were welcomed very warmly by the staff it felt like home we checked in at 11:30 and we were given our itinerary what made this trip special is the fact that African Challenge Safaris organized a cake for my mum without our knowledge we were so surprised after having dinner the staff came singing while holding the cake best birthday ever my mom said from the staff at Karen blixen to our amazing driver and most of all Mr.Kennedy for giving us the best package and organizing the surprise cake as well.Thank you for making my mum feel special and loved, I would recommend them to anyone who wants an out of the world experience.

Well organised, professional and flexible, all in ensuring that the experience is worth desiringmore
5/5

The experience was just nothing but amazing!
We were well received and entertained with cultural songs, dances and games that have been preserved and passed down from one generation to another for centuries and then booked at Sarova Mara, The scenery was as wild ,warm and exciting, perhaps more than we'd expected . The staff were charming light hearted and easy to interact with, had this infectious positive energy that wherever you turned that made feel wanted, appreciated and home.

The food, oh Lord! Fresh & Sumptuous meals prepared with heavenly hearts. The alternative were broad to your liking with a mix of newer experiences. I loved the open-to-the-wild dinner concept, and all that positive energy from each guest radiated throughout the camp. It's was just relaxing and and rejuvenating.

The game drive know their craft, I loved the fact the our tour guide drive went like desperately wanted us to have to see everything. Their dedication and passion for the drives was so reassuring, and hilarious game narratives got us laugh to tears! They were just free spirited, perhaps naturally born that way.

The only downside on my end was that I had to wake up early to see the wild animals, just before sunset, especially after the night drinks,because that's when all the animals in the jungle have a family meeting. If it were within our control to schedule their meeting I would have slept more

Bespoke, tailored and fabulous !!!
4/5

I booked with Kennedy in 2018 with a view to visiting in 2020. Of course, covid hit and i was able to travel till June 2022.
I wanted a completely bespoke experience and was happy to pay a premium for this. As a single traveller i wanted to feel accompanied and safe.

Was it worth the wait ?????
Oh my life - YES !!!!

Kennedy planned my entire visit - suggesting venues, in line with my wish list, that maximised my game drive time whilst providing exceptional lodges for rest and relaxation.

My Guide, and now lifelong friend, Dan is the most beautiful soul. He looked after me like no other … like i was the only person on the planet that mattered. We talked constantly (i talk alot and had a million questions) about everything from kids to tax.
Dan ensured that i got the positions, when seeing the wildlife, and always shared facts about the animals - most of which i would never have known without him.
I was sad to leave Dan for my onward trip to Tanzania and the Zanzibar (not as good as Kenya for wildlife or guides).

Please book and ENJOY !!!!

Exceptional
5/5

For over a year I’ve been planning my trip to Kenya and Kennedy have worked with me tirelessly and effortlessly to ensure I had an amazing time. Kennedy was always there to answer any questions I need no matter what time of the day it was. He went above and beyond in ensuring I had all the proper details. Communication was by far the best I’ve ever experienced with any agency. Time management was even more impeccable. Kennedy and his team was always early not once have we had to wait for them. Professionalism was superb. One of my group member forgot something at the camp and Kennedy ensure it was retrieved and handed to us before we depart Kenya. That act of generosity spoke volume and for that I look forward in doing future tours with company. Our Driver John was an amazing tour guide he ensure we had the best experience on our game. He was extremely knowledgeable and fun. They made us felt not like a business transaction but most importantly A FAMILY.
