Tour was 4 stars.
Our tour guide, Dickson got us up close to the animals every time. He was very knowledgeable about the area, history, culture and the animals. He was personable and always ready to answer your questions. Saw lots of animals and that was the goal.
Communication with the tour company could have been better.
Cost effective, Reliable, Good service
Our guide and driver Mr. Yassir had good knowledge. He was very cooperative, patient and friendly.

Organized a well planned, smooth trip
3 night trip including Masai Mara and Nakuru. Start and return point Nairobi.
Communication: quick responses by whatsup and email before safari. During the trip updates/reminders on travel itinerary could have been a bit more thorough.
Service: well planned breaks, devoted driver/guide on game drives - effort to spot several animal species, no issues with anything, social, friendly and easy-going guide happy to answer to any questions. Experience of the guide/driver was noticeable.
Value for money: hard to compare but having a feeling that expectations were met.
Relialibity: no delays or other issues, felt safe and taken care of. Traffic safety (on transits) might have had higher expectations - local traffic and roads, seat belt quality and phone calls during drive rose some concerns.
Tour itself : many animals (including big 5) spotted providing many memorable moments. Had time to observe animals from close, mostly with a feeling that their space was respected. In total, the tour, including game drive, accommodation, food and transit, worked out very well.
However, be prepared that quite some time is spent on transit from Nairobi to the destination (and back) and the roads are partially in poor condition.

Very well organized
We had a lovely guide/driver (Johny) since Nairobi, who safely and always on time drove us throughout our trip. Johnny is also a very polite, pleasant person, which an extended knowledge of the parks we visited and the animals we saw. He also has an accurate instinct and good vision to find the right animal at the right time. Overall was an amazing experience, but Johny made it even better.

Great value, responsive and overall well organised.
The tour vehicle is solid as our guide Evans, his calm & steady demeanor is very reassuring for a safari tour. We had a great experience at the various parks. Seen many animals close up. Evans was able to bring us to see many animals and beautiful viewpoints.
The stay here was very refreshing, clean rooms and helpful front desk personnel. Besides the Maasai Mara tourist camp's unreliable hot water, the rest of the lodgings were nice places with good food.

Easy uncomplicated communication, on time and professional.
We had an amazing time, saw all the big 5 and even more wildlife than we expected. Our personal favorite was the full day in Masai mara. If we could do it again we would skip Nakuru, i.e. do Masai mara and Amboseli. Nakuru Park was very beautiful but the drive was very long and we stayed in a hotel next to the city, not a camp. The accommodations had everything we needed and the food was good, the best one was at Amboseli at Manjaro tented camp, where we had giraffes, zebras and impalas just outside the camp. Albert, our guide and driver, was a bit shy at first but opened up during the trip, always on time and very professional.

Amazing
This was an unforgettable trip made special by our guide Charles who took great care of us. He was super professional, safe and was determined to get us to see the big 5- and we did. I wish the company had explained the need for a tourist ETA and other options for accommodations. You definitely need to ask lots of questions and they are very good about responding but perhaps things get lost in translation. Overall, an amazing experience!
