Very good price, organization and tour
It was an amazing and wonderful safari for me.
1. They picked me up free at the airport to the hotel (my own booking) one day before the tour, so you do not need to worry the transportation. And they even dropped you in the hotel on the last day of the trip, then they would like to take you to the airport the next day.
2. The budget price was maybe the lowest I can get among most travel agencies. But the quality was good as well! Some days lived in the camp site, and several days in the hotel (in both cases, breakfast, lunch and dinner included).
3. We saw many kinds of wild animals, the driver (James) will stop if we come across them. We had enough time to see and take photos.
4. The only thing need to improve is that it is too dusty there! If we could drive behind the frontier car further (not follow closely), we will sniff less dust and more healthy.
Anyway, I personally recommend African Scenery Holidays. Good price, staffs, and beautiful nature.

Unforgettable experience for budget travelers who come for the animals, not the accommodations!
Best aspects:
Guides work hard to ensure optimal viewing of animals including optional times of day and close encounters with all types of animals.
Each of four parks offers a unique and enjoyable experience.
Seven days was the perfect duration. My husband and I felt satisfied by what we had experienced.
We both agree that this was the best safari experience for us and we were very happy that we chose this company and didn’t waste money on a more expensive trip. Please read the draw backs below if you are deciding whether or not this budget trip is right for you, but keep in mind that we came for the animals, not the accommodation.
Draw backs to consider: Please note that all draw backs listed are to be expected at a lower price point. If the things I list are an issue, consider booking a luxury or semi luxury trip instead. If you like the budget, expect the following:
Long drives over bumpy roads. Drivers sometimes drive very fast. The only way to avoid this would be to fly.
Included meals are virtually the same every day. Some fellow travelers complained about the lack of variety. But, if you like to get a local experience, you can count on local food.
Some locations accommodate vegetarians surprisingly well. Vegans should make prior arrangements. I doubt that vegans could be accommodated based on my observation, but I did not ask ahead of time.
WiFi at budget hotels is not reliable. It is affordable to get cellular internet access in Nairobi before your safari if you wish, and for a good price. Just make sure the phone that you bring is unlocked!
Camping accommodations were nicer than expected at Maasai Mara, but worse than expected in Amboseli. Be prepared for dogs barking all night, disruptive other travelers, and bugs or even mice in your tent.

Good
Excellent communication specially by fredreena .she was there for us always and her choices for our accommodations were excellent
Except for planning of safari to Masai Mara —we had to go with some other driver and he of course gave more importance and privilege to his group

Amazing trip with a great company
I really had a nice time, the safari was amazing, we had the oportunity to see many different animals, our driver was really good, he was friendly, talkative, trying to explain everything we wanted to know, and doing his best to make it easier for us to see every animal.
Everybody from the company was really nice and very helpfull.I strongly recomend African Scenery Holidays to everyone.

Overall Great Experience
Communications were great all the way from booking until my pick-up for the airport. The price was very competitive and I thought that the experience for being a budget safari was in line with my expectations.
While I felt like the communication from our guide could have been improved, it in no way inhibited us from seeing all that you'd expect on a safari in Kenya.
Would definitely recommend.

Good company, reliable service
I took a 7 day safari and have a blast.... Overall experience was great, from the moment I contacted the company to quote to the end of the trip communication was fluent, amicable and professional.
Once on Nairobi Fredinah was most helpful and on the road both Ambrus and Bonifaz were excelent on shoing the beauties of the county... Although I could not see the migration (it was due one momth before) we saw the big 5 and a lot more...
I would reccommend the company to any one traveling to Nairobi and planning a Safari...
one of the best experiences in my life
Thanks African Scenery Holiday Staff !!!!
