Such a great person
5/5

I booked with them just by sending 200$ first, and they came to pick us up in Giraffe Manor. From there, I have to say, that was one of the best experiences in my life. I will come back there, hopefully next year, with a group of people which I already have made plans ahhaaahha. I am very happy with their services, and very happy to meet great african people. .

Professional, quick to respond, listen to customer need
5/5

Kennedy was amazing!
He was responsive, quick to reply to email/whatsapp, and listening to us. We changed our program multiple times and he was always willing to adjust, recommend. He was flexible with cancellation/payment terms which was a great plus in COVID time. Such a stressfree booking experience.

He personally welcomed us at the airport before leaving us with our driver John who stayed with us for the rest of the trip. John was a smooth and flexible driver, very knowledgable about the park and its animals. He always had an annecdot or a joke to tell us. Worth mentioning that we had a private 4x4 car and had no problems on the road, not like other agency that offer minibus options and get stuck in the mud (we saw plenty)

I would highly recommend Kennedy if you want a professional, smooth, out of this world experience

Simply amazing!
5/5

We had the most amazing family trip to Kenya! From start to finish Kennedy made sure all details were taken care of for us. His choices in the Masai Mara and Diani Beach exceeded our expectations. The tents, food, staff, and beach house were more then we could have asked for. John was an excellent tour guide and made sure we saw as many animals as possible. We highly recommend the services of African Challenge Safaris.

Long drives but the views, the animals, the food and the care provided for you is 10/10
5/5

We had the best experience ever! Kennedy was a great host, he helped us all the way starting with visa application and finishing with booking us covid tests before departure.
The journey was very comfortable with our huge land cruiser and amazing driver Johnson. Johnson was very knowledgeable, accommodating and helpful all the way insuring we've got the best possible experience!
The hotels we stayed at in Masai Mara and Amboseli were also fantastic. Great rooms, amazing views, delicious food, helpful staff and friendly people everywhere!
In addition this was a custom tour we wanted and Kennedy arranged it to our wishes, definitely recommending anyone who wants a great, custom experience.
We'll definitely book again, 11/10 !

Professional, reliable, dedicated felt like family
5/5

This was by far one of the best safaris I have undertaken with my family (wife, kids 8 and 10 along with my father in law). Kennedy was professional and handled every minute detail like a through professional, we were treated to the best Kenyan hospitality. Places recommended and booked by Kennedy perfectly fitted our expectations and budget the itinerary was perfect and well layed out. The kids, wife and grandpa loved the trip and the details of the planning.
Look forward to planning another safari with other family members soon with Kennedy and his gold class team.

The silver lining in the Covid cloud for 2020 for me and my family was this beautiful trip planned by Kennedy.

Tano Bora
5/5

I give African Challenge Safaris a highest recommendation for many reasons. Firstly, communication from the start was excellent. Kennedy promptly answered all of my questions, no matter how trivial they seemed. He arranged all accommodation that wasn't directly to do with the safari as well as the wonderful camp that I stayed in during the safari, the Mara Leisure Camp. He also arranged for Covid testing and took me to Nairobi Hospital to have it done.
The safari itself was amazing! I have never been to Kenya or the Maasai Mara. My goal for this trip was to see Tano Bora and only Tano Bora! Other animals were a bonus but Tano Bora was the focus. Johnstone, my guide, was wonderful, very knowledgeable, extremely good at finding the cats, and very patient with this cheetah-obsessed client! We also saw other beautiful animals and birds, including my favourite Secretary Bird, and only missed Tano Bora on one day of the 5 actual safari days when the cheetahs retreated into a restricted area.
The Mara Leisure Camp was wonderful! The staff members were very friendly and helpful, and went out of their way to make me feel welcome and comfortable. The food was amazing and the sleeping tents very comfortable and quiet. I enjoyed the Camp very much and can't wait to return!
My trip was fantastic; it was everything and more that I had hoped for! I give African Challenge Safaris a 5-star rating and hope to see everyone again when I return to the Mara next year!!

Professional, Knowledgeable about the animals, birds, trees, and Kenyan culture. We learned so much. He is also alot of fun to be with. My husband and I had a spectacular time. Thank you Kennedy and Anderson. Next time - we bring the kids.
