Great Tour
5/5

Our 7 day safari took place in three parks: Samburu, Lake Nakuru and Maski Mara. The tour was well organized, comfortable accommodation, delicious food, and most importantly, our guide, Paul, was incredibly successful in finding all the animals. During these days we saw 9 cheetahs, 2 leopards, many lions, white rhinoceroses with a cub that was playing around a few meters from our car and many other animals. What we saw far exceeded our expectations. Our thanks go not only to Paul, who went out of his way to fulfill all our dreams, but also to Martin, who organized an amazing tour.

Fede Tours is a reliable provider of great adventures and amazing safari tours.
5/5

I went recently with a friend on a safari organised by Fede Tours & Logistics in Kenya (Samburu, Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara). I cannot speak highly enough of Fede Tours and its staff. The tour amply met our expectations. Hotels were carefully selected and ideally located, with comfortable rooms and excellent food. Paul, our driver was very good at spotting animals hiding in the wild. Thanks to him, we were lucky enough to spot two different leopards the same day, which is quite uncommon. We saw all the animals we were expecting to see (the Big Five + many others). On top of that, Paul was always available to share his knowledge of the Kenyan wildlife and, more broadly, of the region. I should also commend Martin, the linchpin of Fede Tours, without whom this delightful adventure wouldn't have been possible.

Excellent experience as a solo (young woman) traveler with FEDE tours
5/5

Review:
Since childhood, visiting Masai Mara had been a dream of mine. I had the opportunity to make that dream come true at the end of a work trip in June 2022. I was going to have to travel alone, as a young woman, which was somewhat worrying for me at the beginning.

I chose FEDE tours among the many other tour companies. Arrangements for the trip were made with the help of Martin, who was reassuring and answered all of my questions.

On the day when I was set to begin my safari, I was picked up by Ephantus. The moment he greeted me with a smile and a handshake I knew I was in good hands. I am happy to report that Ephantus is a great driver (by western standards), knows a lot about the nature and culture in Kenya, and is very accommodating (e.g. if you are a quite person like me, he won't force you into small talk, but will also happily engage in conversation if you are up for it). He was an excellent guide!

Given the short amount of time we had for the safari (2 nights in Masai Mara), we were able to see a lot of species, really all the ones I could have hoped to see and more. Masai Mara is stunning; although, I was surprised to see this many tourist vehicles congregating around interesting animals sightings. I was very sad to leave the park, but am truly grateful to have had this unforgettable experience.

The Mara Simba Lodge was also good, beautiful setting and the food was good. Given some of the more negative lodge reviews (of Mara Simba Lodge and other lodges often used by FEDE tours), while a minority, I am not sure what kind of level of luxury some people expect given the fairly wild setting, but they clearly aren't appreciating the natural beauty enough if they are focusing on such things.

On the last day, before my flight out of Kenya (at midnight), Martin took me out to Nairobi National Park, which isn't as beautiful or pristine as Masai Mara, but also offered very good sightings of animals, including rhinos, which you are not likely to see in the Mara. We also went to the Giraffe Center and took a short drive around downtown Nairobi (which was interesting, but may have been the least safe I felt on the trip).

Many thanks to the whole team (I also briefly met Frederick) for the high-quality tours they provide and positive attitude!!!

Punctual dependable tour striving to offer a memorable experience
5/5

I was on a work trip and got an opportunity to visit Masaimara and Lake Nakuru.

I was very clear on the lodges I wanted to stay and Martin was prompt to advise dates and ocnfirmed the reservation. Communication was very smooth.

Martin was always puctual, smiling and made me feel right at home. We stopped at the right times, balanced drive vs observation. Martin did his best to create a memorable expecirence for me.

I would recommend anyone visiting Kenya safari, choose Fede Traves with eyes closed.

More than excellent
5/5

A wonderful experience. Frederick is precise, reliable and perfectly organized our 5 day tour between the three parks we visited by letting us stay in beautiful lodges. Fred loves his land and animals very much and made us fall in love with these enchanting places. He speaks different languages very well Advantageous prices.

I have just returned from a safari with my friends. Fede is super organized, competent and really well experienced. Everything was perfect: travels, accomodation and parks. One of the best travels I have ever done.

Incredible experience, well worthy of a honeymoon!
5/5

We went on a 7 day safari with Frederick, organised by Martin - both are wonderful humans. Frederick spent 7 days with us and has such a passion for life that it's infectious. I don't think we stopped smiling all trip!

We started with 2 days in Amboseli, 1 in lake Naivasha, 2 in Masai Mara and then our final day / night was in Lake Nakuru.

It was honestly the most incredible experience - we saw more animals than we could have imagined, but what made it extra special was that Frederick always had the welfare of the animals in mind; he would avoid crowing in with other jeeps and often take alternate routes to ensure the experience felt more unique and was better for the wildlife.

100% would recommend to anyone who wanted to go on safari - not just "you should go on safari" or "this is a good itinerary", but "if you go on safari with Fede Tours with Frederick as your driver, your experience will be incredible".

Accomodation amazing in all 4 places, food was excellent with a lot of choice, and 7 days was exactly the right amount of time. Would recommend the jeep over the van as it gives you more mobility in the parks and a nicer ride - well worth it given the amount of time you spend in the vehicle. 10/10 would recommend.

Trip of a lifetime! Frederick was fantastic and we had the most amazing honeymoon
5/5

My husband and I booked Fede tours for our honeymoon. Martin was fantastic and very helpful and responsive when replying, we ended up extending one of the suggest itineraries to 7 days and booked fairly late. We chose 2 nights in Amboseli, 1 night in Naivasha, 2 nights in the Masai Mara and 1 night in Lake Nakuru.

Frederick picked us up in the jeep from our hotel and was full of energy and enthusiasm. He was our guide for the whole week, and made sure we were completely relaxed and looked after for the whole time.

Frederick was absolutely fantastic- he was incredibly knowledgeable about the animals and habitats (and my background is a degree in Biology). He was always checking in with us to see how long we wanted the game drive for and made sure we were always comfortable. We saw so many incredible animals - the big 5 and I now have life long memories of watching 2 male lions eating and drinking from the watering hole, watching a heard of elephants with the little babies playing, seeing a mother and baby rhino at sunrise, watching 2 cheetahs walk along side the jeep as well as seeing a beautiful leopard just lounging in a tree.

It was also really interesting to learn about the history and culture of Kenya from Frederick.

All of the accommodation was really clean, wonderful views and all had excellent food. We were very well looked after everywhere we went- lots of beautiful petals on the bed etc.

The highlight was a beautiful surprise breakfast sunrise picnic overlooking Lake Nakuru on the last day all arranged by Frederick.

I would highly recommend Fede tours to anyone considering a safari to Kenya - I would also personally recommend Frederick. He also leant us his DSLR camera (we just had phones) so we now have professional level photographs to remember our trip of a life time!

We spent a little bit of time comparing different Safari deals ahead of our trip, and Fede tours excelled on both being good value and having good reviews (definitely get a jeep, so much easier to get around quickly and a lot more comfortable especially if you are prone to travel sickness!) they exceeded all our expectations and I look forward to travelling with them again for our anniversary’s. Everything was included in the trip (water, food, even lunch at Carnivore on the last day).

Unforgettable experience!
5/5

My wife and I went a 6-day safari organized by FEDE TOUR for our honeymoon. Martin organized wonderful safari that was far beyond our expectations. He was always responsive and communication was very smooth. The itinerary was flexibly organized according to our requests. All of the accommodations were really clean with wonderful views and excellent food.

Sam, our driver and guide, was absolutely great. He gave us unforgettable memories as he promised. He was unbelievably knowledgeable about the animals and their habitats, and extremely good at spotting animals hiding in the wild. Thanks to him, we saw so many animals, a leopard eating a reedbuck on tree, mother and baby rhinos eating grass, a heard of Rothschild’s giraffes crossing the road, mother and baby cheetahs walk along with our car. The every moment is the best memory that we will never forget.

Fede makes your dreams come true. I really recommand !
THANK YOU AGAIN !
