WONDERFUL KENYA
We would like to thank Esther and James for a wonderful time in Kenya. Esther’s organization of our private Kenyan tour was perfect. We just wished it could have been longer. Our accommodations, including Entim Mara in the Masai Mara National Park, and The Cliff in Lake Nakuru National Park were outstanding. Our visit to Ol Pejeta, and Sweetwaters completed our wonderful vacation. Overall, the accommodations were exceptional selections made by Esther. As for our private guide and driver, James who remained with us during the entire tour, he was knowledgeable, fun and always on time, even when we weren’t. If you had a “wish list” of animals that you wanted to see, James knew exactly where to go and if he didn’t know, he had an array of friends, guides, and contacts who he was constantly in communication with doing his best to find those animals. We saw many lions everyday, and managed to see the Big Five. Thank you James and Esther.

High End Luxury Tour / Professional superior services / Extensive Wildlife / Amazing Kenya
ESTLEON ADVENTURES (Esther) was 100% professional from day 1. This is our 25th Safari to Africa (many completed in Botswana / Namibia / South Africa / Zambia / Zimbabwe / Uganda etc) .... but this was our first safari in Kenya. For this reason, we did extensive research to locate a reputable Tour company.
Esther was very patient with us (me), as I had very specific requests and expectations for a high luxury high level customized private Safari. She happily accommodated us over several weeks, as we fine-tuned and customized our program 100% to our liking. She exceed all our expectations, and our trip went off without any issues.
We enjoyed Kenya, and all its beauties and of course its wildlife, so much so that we are now planning to return for much longer Kenyan Safari. It will be again fully planned to use Estleon Adventures as we were very happy with all aspects of this trip.
We were met by our Guide (James) at the airport (placket card with our name) as we exited the airport. He was with us from start to finish until he dropped us off at the end of the 5-day Tour. We stayed in three separate Camps in three sperate Kenyan parks. The first was Masai Mara NP. There we stayed two nights at Entim Mara. A stunning super luxury high end Glamping (Glamorous Camping) Camp. The wildlife in Masai Mara was plentiful, with the list being too log for all that we saw. The camp is extremely well isolated, so the animals comes literally up to your tents (including lions)!
The second park was Nakuru NP. There we stayed one night at The Cliff. It was as the fist camp, stunning super luxury high end Glamping Camp. This National park (NP) is centered around Lake Nakuru, so a nice variety of different game and bird life then Masai Mara had to offer.
The third park was Ol Pejeta conservancy. There we stayed at the Serena Sweetwaters Tented Camp. Serena is a commercial African Chain, but this property again was very high end. The conservancy offers a very nice large variety of wildlife, many types of animals we dd not see in either of the other two national Parks.
All in all, we were extremely pleased with our time in Kenya, clearly it was not long enough, but I can highly recommend the services of Estleon Adventures, as they saw to all our needs and assembled an incredible tour for our entire customized safari in Kenya.

Excellent trip, memories to last a lifetime
This safari has the best value! Great communication from Estleon, stunning and comfortable lodging, and a fantastic safari. Our guide, Kikitou, was warm, helpful, funny, and knowledgeable throughout the trip and really shaped it into a memorable experience. We saw more animals than we could have hoped for, and the pop-top car was a great way to feel close to nature, while still protected from some of the carnivores. The camp was very accomodating of our vegetarian diet restrictions for both the hot meals at the camp and the boxed lunches we had on the road. Thanks to this adventure, my partner and I were able to fall deeply in love with the Masai Mara and are already discussing going back! Thanks so much.

Unique experience, which exceeded our expectations!
We did the 4-Day Magnificent Lake Nakuru Masai Mara Luxury Safari.
Everything went perfectly, we were picked up by our driver Tom at the hotel and received an introduction to the upcoming days.
Tom was a very sympathetic type, where you immediately felt comfortable and safe.
The driving distances were long, but with the safari jeep 4x4 land cruiser it was still comfortable. This car was the right decision and we're glad we didn't take the cheaper van. He always made enough stops so that we could eat and drink and go to the toilet.
Thanks to Tom, that we saw many animals at game drive, because he was in constant contact with other drivers who were looking for animals. In addition, Tom knows almost everyone in Africa^^, what was the reason we saw many animals. Tom also knew a lot about the animals and the country and was therefore able to tell very interesting things. On the previous evening, he always reported on the course of the next day, so we always knew what was going on. We really appreciated, that Tom was a very experienced driver, who knew good places and went out of his way to show us as much as possible.
At the end of the safari, we were unloaded safely at the hotel with many unforgettable impressions.
The whole organization with the accommodations worked very well. The Cliff Nakuru was one of the nicest hotel we have ever been to. Also the Sarova Mara Game Camp was very nice.
With all the people we had contact with, they were always friendly and ready to help. The entire food was always good and it was always checked that we had enough water on the safari.
In summary, it was a unique experience, which exceeded our expectations.
Many thanks to Esther, who gave us a good feeling for the organization with constant email contact in advance and to the driver Tom, who did an extraordinary job.
We will never forget this trip! Thank you for everything.

Well organized and easy communication
Our Safari was amazing. An experience one should not miss out. Our driver was a very good guide who could tell us lots about animals and nature. Communication with Esther was easy going and very kind. She put us together an offer that would come up to our expectations. The accommodations were all very fine. And we had a really wonderful hearttouching time plus saw the big five.
We went to lake naivasha, lake Nakuru, Maasai Mara and Ole Pajeta. The Lodge in Sweetwater Seaview was really luxurious as for we had a tent with view to waterhole where all animals met. So in the morning at 5:30 we could see Sunrise and the wildlife from bed in our tent.

Estleon Adventures: the more professional and friendly team that you could ever ask for!
Esther is amazing she helped us in every step of the way even in things she didn't have too. From visas, to booking hotels when you arrive to Nairobi, to making sure that we had the best time of our lives ( she even baked me a cake and arranged for the masai tribe to dance for my birthday! Who does that???). The only sad part was that we didn't meet her personally. Our huge thanks to you Esther!
Tony was our driver, and once more couldn't have had a better one. He has hawk eyes and is able to find any animal you ask for, he tries his best to get you the best shots and he even helped us with the culture differences between theirs and our country. Don't have any problems in booking with them, they are amazing people you won't regret it! Thank you Tony and Esther!
