Wonderful Experience; Very Professional; Outstanding Company
We did a seven day / six night safari organized by Across the Wild. From the very first communication, Fina was wonderful to work with. She was attentive, responsive, and charming, working with us to customize our trip. As this was not our first safari, we made specific requests, each of which was addressed. Our guide, Steve, was superb! We were able to accomplish safari experiences that we had not previously had, primarily due the experience and patience of our guide. Everything during the safari was well-coordinated. We would work with Across the Wild again and will recommend them to others without any hesitation!

The BEST! Every moment exceeded expectations from planning to trip end
Across the Wild
I just had the most incredible safari and game viewing experience with Across the Wild Safaris. I booked my trip last minute and went with a local outfitter based in Nairobi based on positive reviews.There were 2 of us (both well traveled females)
and we were well taken of from the moment we arrived until our adventure ended.
We visited 3 parks in a week. We had a van (not land cruiser) and boy were we happy! We did ride in one land cruiser a few hours on the way to a balloon ride and we were so comfortable in the van.
Our professional tour guide, Joseph. We appreciated the little tips and advice he gave us throughout our stay about the country and wildlife. He made sure we understood what we were experiencing and does not break the rules. Across the Wild guides have walkie talkies so they can stay on top of the wildlife to help find the elusive leopard, pride of lions or cheetahs. We witnessed other outfitters harassing wildlife by driving off road or pulling directly up to animals while making noises. A good guide does not do this. They are patient and do their best to take you to the animal habitats. Nature truly is unpredictable. Our trip was amazing. We witnessed all of the BIG FIVE in one day in Maasai Mari. We were flexible with our trip but went by the advice of the guide.
Fina at Across the Wild made our trip! She was friendly and helpful. She knows her hotel product and set us up wonderfully to hotels that matched our needs. We did tour other hotels, and realize there is something for everyone.
One thing, be prepared for the long day rides to parks. Some of our days averaged 6 hours of driving, then you
Head out for a game ride.
We could not be happier with our experience with Fina and the Across the Wild crew. We look forward to booking again with them really soon!

Best safari experience with the experts!
Fina from Across the Wild was very responsive and willing to customize all the program to make us happy. We contacted 5-6 agencies and chose Across the Wild because they were the most responsive to all our inquiries and tried to contact us via emails, WhatsApp, and calls to ensure we satisfy with the program. After hundreds of correspondence, we were very happy with the 12-days Kenya & Tanzania + Zanzibar experience we had. All the accommodation were luxury type as agreed in the program. The food was exceptional. Our driver/guide in Kenya was Patrick and the one in Tanzania was Lawrence. Both were very knowledgeable and friendly. I would recommend both of them. The safari experience with them were unforgettable. They drove us to all Big Five and many others! and made sure we could get nice photo shots. We learnt a lot about the animal life, Masai culture, Kenya & Tanzania life. Highly recommend Across the Wild Tours to anyone who want to have an experience of a life time.

Great tour company to take care of your once-in-a-lifetime safari!
We booked a bespoke 5 day safari to the Masaai Mara with Across the Wild Tours. We had very specific ideas about where we wanted to stay, our game drives, even the vehicle. Fina at Across the Wild was fabulous. She checked it all out for us and, eventually, gave us exactly the package we wanted. She replied to emails, was always reachable on the phone, so everything was very transparent and reliable. I do not take such a great service for granted, especially if I order a costly bespoke holiday package from my desk at home.
On the day of our departure, Fina and Joseph, the driver/guide, picked us up at our hotel, perfectly on time. Joseph was fabulous, too. Over the next 4 days, he went the extra mile to show us all the animals we wanted to see, including a pride of lions hunting buffalo, a cheeta, a leopard with cubs etc etc. The Masaai Mara is such an incredibly rich place. Joseph is not just a very good driver but also an amazingly knowledgeable expert on flora & fauna. There was not he single animal or plant he did not know, he even impressed us with accounts of life inside a termite hill. Apart from all that, he is a great guy and fun to have around.
All in all, there was not a single thing we were not happy about. We are very grateful for the magnificent experience we had. Thank you so much guys. We will definitely book with Across the Wild again, to one of the many destinations you cover in the region.

Excellent service and strongly recommendable
We chose Fina because she is the most responsive agent and also provided the most reasonable quotation. After lots of changes from us and plenty of communications, we arrived in Kenya finally. Fina didn't disappoint us! The accommodation is wonderful, the gaming is amazing, and most importantly, the driver, Mr. Ederson is so experienced! Our trip will be much less interesting without Mr. Ederson, with his guide, we have seen so many unforgettable events. We will strongly recommend Across the Wild to our friends those are going to visit Kenya. At last, I only want to remind that please avoid booking AA Lodge in Maasai the next time, which is horribly managed, whose manager and staff kept lying and cheating.

Well organized and executed
Fina from Across the Wild was very friendly and responsive. She helped with our special requests and she had to quote multiple times based on the frequent changes we requested. Our Tour Guide Mr. Patrick was very knowledgeable about the wilderness and he took us to various nook and corners of Masai Mara so that we we witnessed some of the amazing wild events. It would not have been a fun trip without him. We visited Masai Mara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Amboseli. It was a life time experience to see all the wild animals in their natural habitat. Overall we were happy with the service provided by Across the Wild Tour operators. A truly memorable experience !!!

Choose Across the wild tours for your Kenya safari tour
From the beginning to the end, everything was perfect and well organized.
I compared more than 5 operators before I choose Across the wild tours for my 5 day safari tour.
Tina, in charge of customer handling, responded kindly to my request from the begging to the end. I customized my itinerary and she offered the best price among the 5+ operators. She gave me the prompt and kind feedback even though I changed my itinerary several times.
Steve, experienced guide, was fully knowledgeable about Masai mara area. He explained in details everytime we saw the animals. I will definitely recommend this operator to my friends.

I was really impressed by the whole experience . Everything is well organized. No frustrations.
This is no ordinary tour company. I had a truly wonderful experience. The communication skills are great. I was a happy tour goer since our meet up location had been communicated in advance and was on time.
The safari tour services are just the best. They meet all the customers needs with so much passion and professionalism.
Tour guide had good knowledge of the local with so much planned facts and statistics and also brought in own knowledge and personal experiences.
Across the wild tour and safaris is a company that I will definitely recommend to friends as they meet all their clients expectations.
Thanks for the wonderful experience!!!
