Estleon the honest company!
5/5

We a family of 3, had the best of our over sixty holidays ever!
We owe this to our tour guide Ben!
He is a very intelligent, knowledgable and experienced person more than 10 years experience!
He loves his work and everything he does he does it with a smile in his face and passion!
He picked us at Radisson Nairobi and we did a 7 day tour starting with Amboseli, Naivasha, Nakuru, passed through Mau beautiful Mountains and ended in Masai Mara.
We enjoyed the wildlife at the Mara, Lerai camping and going for safaris around park. We miss, the magical Kenya’s captivating scenic locations, which takes people’s breath away.
We owe our happiness to Ben! He is an asset for this company as he is a living Enciclopedia!
At the end we nearly cried when we departed!
Thank you Ben!

Very responsive planner and guide
5/5

We compared a few operators during the planning stage, Esther was the quickest in all her replies. We spent CNY in Kenya and she prepared a special bush dinner for us which was very memorable. Overall Esther has been extremely helpful and we are very satisfied with what she has planned for us and the price.

Issac, our guide, did a wonderful job too. He was amazing at spotting wild animals. We saw lions many many times, leopards, Cheetahs etc etc. He planned our days very well so that every single day felt different. He is very knowledgeable and explained a lot of fun facts about animals.

High quality customer service and high quality tour guide!
5/5

This was our second safari and we opted to go with a different company to get a better experience than last time. We are so happy we picked Estleon. Esther was always ready to answer our questions and help us come up with our perfect itinerary. The best part was our amazing tour guide!! We were lucky to get Ben. We think your tour guide will make all the difference in your experience. Ben was very kind, caring, patient and ALWAYS had a smile and always in a good mood even on long tiring days. He tried his best that we see the wildlife we really wanted to see so that made it very personal. We also appreciated that he was happy to take photos of us when we asked and he always went above and beyond for us. This was an amazing experience for my family and I. Go with Estleon you won’t regret it!!!

5/5

Every part of the experience was wonderful. From answering all my questions and concerns to payment and creating a superior dream vacation! The all inclusive price was incredibly fair. My trip was busy but I feel I got so much information and education as well. It was truly eye- opening and inspiring!!

Best of the Best
5/5

Where to start? An incredible honeymoon thanks to Esther and Isaack. We were so lucky to have chosen them for our safari.
Incredible service, amazing game rides, hotel choices, communication, etc. You name it, they crushed it. They even put on a special sundowner for our last night for our honeymoon. Taught me a lot about amazing customer service. Do yourself a favor and book your safari with Estleon. You won’t regret it- they are the Best of the Best.

Isaack- can’t wait to see you again my friend!

Very helpful & professional
5/5

I’m writing this review because, like yourself, I was wondering what company was best to book with; and I can guarantee it will be Estleon. Esther, our tour organiser, was responsive & professional. Esther was very easy to book with and was helpful when we wanted to customise our trip. The experience itself was just amazing; the accomodation at both Entrim (Masai Mara) and The Cliff was amazing. At Entim, we enjoyed Tuskers by the fire, overlooking the river of hippos, and trading our game drive stories with other travelers. You have a once in a lifetime experience as you could hear the hippos grunting, the lions growling, hyenas laughing, all outside your camp tent (don’t worry you are VERY safe with the Masaai protecting the camp all night). The Cliff accom also had this insane view of the lake & we got up early to watch the big, beautiful sunrise. The staff at both were super lovely and willing to do whatever to make your experience a great one. We also had the best & most knowledgeable guide named Isaac who knew exactly where to go & find the animals. Having a great guide really does make your trip & he was fantastic. The food is lovely as well, you had to roll us out of each place we ate & drank so much given it was inclusive. Highly recommend Estleon & we’ll be booking with them again when we return.

Trip of a Lifetime for a Lifetime Traveler
5/5

I cannot say enough about Esther, Isaack (our guide) and Estleon Adventures. Stop looking for the right Safari company, the search is over! If you enjoy the finer things in life or are interested in the most incredible accomodations, in the most incredible locations with the most incredible guide, booking this trip couldn't be easier.

Isaack (aka "Governor") was not only an incredible safari guide and driver, but a unique and genuine person that made this trip the best trip of my life. His skills and knowledge regarding the wildlife were unprecedented. We saw countless species (of course the big 5!) and he tailored the itinerary as we traveled from location to location, game drive to game drive. My wife and I also share his love of the birds and the variety of species he showed us and taught us was incredible! His sense of humor and outlook on life and Kenyan culture made every single day more memorable than the next. He also loved to surprise my wife and I multiple times over the trip and we were blown away! No spoilers though!

Typically I do not book inclusive resorts or set itineraries when I travel, as I like to set our own schedule but WOW, I would hand the reins over to Esther and Isaack over and over and over again. By the second day my wife and I had complete trust in Isaack and his expertise. We woke up every morning excited to see what the day would bring. I will remember every moment! Especially Maasai Mara! What an incredible place!

It was my first time in Africa. First time in Kenya. First time on Safari. I'm coming back. I'm booking through Estleon and requesting the Governor. I can't wait.

Highly Recommend Estleon for Private Safari
5/5

My wife and I had a wonderful 7 day private safari with Estleon Adventures. Our driver, Isaac, was knowledgeable, personable, patient and a wonderful driver (an essential on Kenyan roads). We saw lots of wildlife, beautiful areas of Kenya and had a great balloon ride. Accommodations and food were outstanding. Esther was great to work with and helpful when we needed to adjust our schedule. Highly recommend Estleon Adventures.

Incredible safari experience from beginning to end!
5/5

Choosing Estleon Adventures for our first safari was the best decision my husband and I could have made for ourselves. Not only was it way more affordable than other travel companies, but the professional was also unmatched. There are not enough words for us to describe the beauty of our trip and our appreciation for Esther and our guide, Ben, but I will do my best with this review.

I have dreamt of exploring Kenya for many years of my life and knew that this is where I would want my first safari experience to be. (It will definitely not be our last!) Kenya is beautiful on its own, but the attention to detail that Esther and her team demonstrated was beyond any experience we have ever had. We celebrated our one year wedding anniversary during the trip and did not really mention it to anyone, but they made sure to make us feel so special throughout the trip. Esther's connections with these luxury resorts made our stays some of the most lavish we have ever experienced.

Thank you, Esther, for making this trip so perfect for us from the first day to the last. You made sure the trip was perfect for us and were in constant communication with us from my interest email many months before our trip to throughout our trip, as well. We will recommend your company to everyone we know and we will definitely be back.

To our tour guide/driver, Ben -- we could not have had a more magical safari experience if it were not for you! Ben was kind, attentive, professional, and so very knowledgable. I've always loved learning about animals (and teaching my students about them) and Ben taught me more facts about these incredible creatures than anyone ever has. You can tell that he has such a passion for his career in tourism and such a respect for wild animals. He is an incredible photographer, as well! Because of Ben, we were able to witness the big five in the wild -- many times! If we wanted to just sit and stare at a group of cheetahs or admire the beauty of a leopard, he let us -- no questions asked. We even witnessed the largest tusked elephant in the world at Amboseli named Craig!

Words and photos will never do this trip justice, but it truly was a trip of a lifetime. This is the longest and most detailed review I have ever written, but that is because this company deserves it. Thank you again!!!
