My first amazing african safari of my life
As Jacob and Wilson well know, a few weeks ago they were the first time I was in Africa.
As a biologist and photographer, when I travel to look for animals, I always try to lower expectations so as not to get frustrated, because I know how difficult it is to locate certain animals. And WildTouch Tours And Travels surprised me and a lot. Their knowledge of the territory, the fauna, the customs and traditions of every corner of this amazing country that is Kenya made it possible for us to see things that in normal season would take months.
Obviously, the effect of the pandemic and the consequent decline in tourism around the world must also have influenced, but thanks to these incredible guides, we have been able to witness animal behaviors that I personally would never have imagined seeing beyond documentaries.
I can only say, thank you very much for this adventure.

Unforgettable trip to Kenya
We returned a few days ago from an incredible 13 day trip through Kenya organized by Jacob and Wildtouch Tours. I have no words to describe all the feelings I have, but the first thing that comes to my mind is "thank you." Asante Sana Jacob and Wilson (our guide) for this magical and unforgettable experience. It has been very hard times due to the covid and border closures. Many moments that we thought we could not make this trip, many impediments, but finally we did it and the trip has been 10/10.
Once in Kenya, everything went smooth and easy thanks to Jacob's professional and friendly treatment and management. The whole tour was perfectly planned and we didn't miss a thing.
The choice of accommodations was perfect, adjusting to our budget but each and every one of them was incredible. And the food included during the tour was just perfect. We cannot ask for more.
Our guide Wilson went out of his way for us and found all the animals we asked for. We focus the safari on photography and Jacob and Wilson understood that from the first moment, leaving the camp always before sunrise and returning after sunset so that we had many hours of game drive and the best possible light for photography. It is a very tough schedule and we must thank them for all the effort they made for us.
The car, a van, is comfortable and spacious. It was in excellent condition and never caused any problems. In addition, Wilson always kept it clean and impeccable.
The route planning was unbeatable for 13 days. We started in Meru NP, then Samburu, Lake Nakuru and ended with 4 days in Maasai Mara. This way we enjoyed a very diverse fauna and many different landscapes. Thankfully we followed Jacob's recommendation to include Meru NP, a remote and wild park very different from the others, where we were completely alone in the middle of the wilderness!
And Maasai Mara, speechless. Wilson knows the Mara as if it were his home, all the roads and shortcuts and he finds lions without more cars around to sit alone with them, and spend the afternoon watching and photographing the cubs' games, avoiding the crowds of cars in other parts. No words to describe this.
In terms of planning, it was really all very easy. We started with WhatsApp messages with Jacob half a year before the trip and everything really flowed by itself. Jacob is a great professional, he doesn't take more than a minute to answer all my questions (and I must say that I had so many, all the time!). This was one of the first reasons that made me choose this company and not another, the fluency in communication at all times. I thank Jacob very much for this, since finally I must say that the choice was more than correct.
I must DEFINITELY recommend Wildtouch Tours and Travels to everyone who wants an unforgettable trip to East Africa. They are a serious, professional company that put the customer's interest first. And also, I must say that they are very friendly. Jacob is a wonderful person that I will never forget and that I hope to see again soon. I'm going to start thinking about a new trip with them for next year or the next. In fact, I can no longer imagine travelling to Kenya or Tanzania if it is not with them.
Thank you very much Jacob and Wilson for everything, I hope to see you again soon, and if you ever come to Barcelona, here you have a house and a friend!

The ARK Aberdares by Jacob Munene
Fantastic experience visiting the Ark for the first time. The booking was done to perfection with the hotel making adjustments for our slightly delayed arrival for lunch. Our booking contact Jacob Munene keep us updated throughout and was in constant communication with the hotel. His services were 1st class
We enjoyed the experience there seeing 2 of the big five plus getting the thrill of sleeping in a game reserve. I would highly recommend it for a couple vacation if you want time away from the hustles and bustles of the city

Incredibe Safari Tour - thank you Wildtouch and Jacob!
Where can I begin? The safari holiday I went on this year with my husband was fantastic. If you are looking for a professional, respectful, welcoming and friendly safari operator- you have found one! From the initial communication months prior to our trip to the very last day of our trip, Jacob was incredible in organising our trip and catering to our every need. His level of service and communication was so brilliant, which is no surprise as after meeting him it is so clear that he is a hardworking, professional and lovely man. I came across Wild Touch Tours online and after contacting dozens of companies, not only was their price reasonable, Jacob stood out from all the rest. We were able to connect over Whatsapp shortly and used this for months to plan our trip. Through my many of messages, questions and changes in itinerary he always stayed professional, helpful and polite. We were greeted by Jacob at the start of our safari trip and also met him for lunch on the last day. Throughout this he communicated with us and if there were any problems which weren't even his fault (weather or traffic) he tried to make amends and accommodate us.
The safari was truly spectacular and was catered to what we wanted to see and our budget. We went from Nairobi- Amboseli- Nakuru- Masai- Navaisha- Nairobi. Each place we stayed was fantastic and our driver also was great.
Jacob also took time out to remind and assist us with visas, things to do in Nairobi and general travel tips. He treated us like friends and I am so happy that we met him. Thank you Jacob and if you ever visit London please get in touch. We will hopefully go back to organise another trip with him.

An Unforgettable Trip- Amazing Experience with Wildtouch
We opted for an 8 days Wilderness Safari covering Amboseli, Lake Naivasha and Masai Mara.
We've had an amazing few days in Kenya starting with Amboseli, followed by Naivasha and finally wrapping up our adventure in the Masai Mara.
Everything was meticulously planned by Wildtouch and the entire trip proved to be an amazing experience.
Right from the time we stepped out of the airport and till we got in back to the airport after our holiday, Wildtouch ensured that we were well taken care of throughout the trip.
The safari tour has indeed been one of the most beautiful experiences we've ever had and we would like to Thank Mr. Jacob Munene from Wildtouch who ensured that everything went according to plan.
Wildtouch ensured that we had a premium experience and Jacob created a wonderful itinerary based on our requirements. Wildtouch has been very punctual, prompt in response, extremely professional and ensured that we were well taken care of at all times.
Our accommodation couldn't have been better. We were given the best resorts to stay with amazing service. We being vegetarians had enough and more options and loved the spread of the food in all the resorts that we stayed in. The staffs in the resorts were very kind and friendly, the setting was idyllic and the food was very tasty.
Both our guides (Moses and John) for the game drives were fantastic. They were great conversationalists, polite and very professional. They knew their way around and ensured that we had excellent game drives.
Jacob kept in touch with us throughout the trip always checking if were comfortable.
Our Kenya trip has been fabulous, unforgettable and filled with adventures.
My wife and I would like to thank Jacob for his professionalism, friendly attitude and creating a magical holiday for us.
We highly recommend and vouch for Wildtouch in creating an awesome experience. We will for certain be holidaying again with Jacob & Wildtouch in the future.
Thank you.
