Great safari with exceptional service!
I was put in touch with John through a friend to help coordinate a safari and he did not disappoint. He provided us with options that best suited our budget and the duration of our visit. He responded quickly to my inquiries and was also able to help me with any travel questions I had as this was my first visit to Kenya. The safari itself was amazing and they did a great job of trying to find all the animals we wanted to see! John and Corrina were extremely welcoming and took care of us the entire time - we thoroughly enjoyed spending the day with them! I would highly recommend using them for your safari adventure!

An amazing lifetime experience
We booked a 5 day Great Rift Valley Safari with Namayiana Safaris. We were not sure about what to expect since we were going to Kenya and Africa for the very first time. The booking itself was simple and Mpairo (John) kept checking with us and answered all our questions. We were picked up in Nairobi and our journey started from there. We were very pleased that Mpairo and Corrina were there with us in Maasai Mara. They are all on our game drives, sat down with us for lunch and dinner. Our accomodation Fisi camp had such nice hosts. They prepared a fantastic meal for new years eve. All in all, we have a very nice time.
The game drives themselves were at "out of the world" experience. Mpairo is just excellent at tracking animals. He is always the first one to spot them! Then the other cars arrive: D We managed to see the Big 5, in addition to lots of other animals and were very happy. We visited the nearby Maasai village and it was very nice.
After the Mara, we continued to Lake Naivasha and Nakuru where we had 2 more game drives. We had some small problems in Lake Nakuru, but Mpairo intervened and solved them in minutes. This is a lot.
We would definitely like to visit again and would recommend them to family and friends.

Amazing trip of a life time.
I have been planning a trip to Kenya for years, and John and Corrina did not disappoint. They treated us like kings and we never wanted for anything. We spent 11 days with them. Every detail was planned out perfectly. We saw countless animals and the big 5 twice before 11:00 am. We were fortunate enough to see a pride of lions kill a wildebeest. We were lucky enough to stay in the village with John and Corinna, and humbled by thier hospitality. We did a walking tour of crescent island and multiple game drives. This safari met my wildest dreams.

Unforgettable Experience
John is the best guide one could imagine. Our safari with him was an unforgettable experience! He knows every corner of the Masai Mara and always finds the best spot to watch animals. What is more, he is a very fun guy with a lovely personality! Our 2-day-Safari was simply amazing and I totally recommend it to anyone visiting Kenya!

The Greatest

It was our first safari.
Namayiana safari's company was one of the first companies we send request to. We got immediate response with all of the details and all answered questions. We choice them and as we learned it was THE BEST ONE.
Truly AMAZING company. We spend time with company owners CORRINA, John Mpairo and our driver/guide SOLOMON aka "animal whisperer"(just ask him for any animal and if you're lucky enough he'll find it in couple of minutes) they're were awesome , answered all our questions , gave us the best safari experience we could wish for. PURELY INCREDIBLE. We had a chance to meet Mpairo brother Moses aka "eagle's eyes " (he can spot animals from far away) who is very fun and has lots of intresting stories.
DEFINITELY WOULD RECOMMEND this company if you're looking for amazing, authentic experience and wishing to have an unforgettable safari and long lasting memories!
Once again we would like to thank Corrina, John and of course the best driver and guide Solomon, for taking care of us throughout our Safari , and giving us such an INCREDIBLE experience and more. We could not be more happier !
P.S we came back earlier than expected to Nairobi(no traffic), they even provided us with tickets to National Museum, just that we wouldn't need to wait in airport for our flight for extra hours.
Hope we will see you again !
Wish you best !

Very knowledgeable & flexible operator who wants to create genuine unique and authentic experience
Thanks for an amazing time! I can highly recommend asking Mpairo and Corinna for suggestions on, how to spend your next safari.
Being very authentic with local Maasai village trip, hiking in the local mountains and a personalised safari trip as you like it, we managed to even making changes on the way (so we could see the elephants and lions one more time

Exceeded expectations, amazing people and tour!
Yes, all the comments are true! But you have to be there with John and Corinna to really understand what this experience is all about! They are very happy, genuine and professional people who are focusing on some truly unique experiences. It is nothing like those mass tourism safaris, here you feel like spending time with friends, you feel welcome and comfortable all times. They went above and beyond to make my birthday the most memorable ever and I would like to send you one more thank you from both of us! Moreover, Fisi camp is great and a quality of safari is five stars !
If you have a chance, book a private safari or take a few friends with Namayiana and best experiences are guaranteed !
Hope to see you both soon!

Amazing experience.
We had an amazing experience, it really exceeded our expectations! We did the 4 day joining safari, but since Mpairo is such a nice guy and probably a most excellent guide, we wish we booked a private one. We stayed at Lenchada camp, a fine place with no unneeded luxury. Just good food, clean tents and most importantly: extremely friendly staff. In the evening we even spent time with the Masai guarding the camp around a bonfire. Mpairo made sure to come by every day to have dinner or breakfast with us and to check if everything was going fine. He really wants to give you the best experience and personally makes sure everything is perfectly arranged. We spent an entire day at his village and slept at his home. A very kind family and adorable children who show you their authentic way of living. There is no better way to get to know the Masai culture. You don’t feel as a tourist, but as a friend who’s just visiting them. Thank you Mpairo and Corinna for our amazing time and say hi to Jano and the rest of the children!
Jasper and Pauline
