"Flawless Planning and the Ultimate Big 5 Experience with Estleon Adventures!"
5/5

An Unforgettable Kenyan Safari!!! Brilliant Planning & an Outstanding Guide!

We just returned from an incredible Kenya safari and the experience truly exceeded our expectations.

From the very beginning, our travel consultant Esther was fantastic**—kind, responsive, and incredibly patient as we asked plenty of questions and fine-**tuned the plan. She customized the itinerary exactly to our preferences, and everything felt smooth and well-organized throughout.

Our first night at The Cliff on Lake Nakuru was absolutely magical, honestly one of the biggest highlights of our private trip. The setting and atmosphere were unforgettable and set the tone for the rest of the journey.

The absolute standout, though, was our guide Geoffrey. His tracking skills and wildlife knowledge were exceptional. In a surprisingly short time, we saw all of the Big 5, and he also helped us spot a cheetah and several other rare animals we didn’t expect to see. He always seemed to be in the right place at the right time, and his explanations made every game drive more meaningful.

One more thing I really appreciated: on our final day, we had a 1:00 a.m. flight, and Esther arranged the hotel perfectly around that schedule, which made the departure stress-free and very comfortable.

If you’re planning a safari in Kenya, I highly recommend Estleon Adventures. A huge thank you to Esther and Geoffrey for giving us the trip of a lifetime!

Can't recommend more!!!
5/5

I would highly recommend Estleon and their team.

I first heard about Estleon from a friend who toured with them two years ago and spoke very highly of their services. Since this was my first trip to Kenya, I was still a bit nervous about the process—especially about paying a large deposit upfront. However, Esther was extremely patient and understanding throughout our communication, which gave me the confidence to move forward.

During the preparation phase, Esther was incredibly responsive and put together a thoughtful, well-structured itinerary for our group of seven.

Once we arrived in Kenya, everything exceeded expectations. We were amazed by the three beautiful, luxurious accommodations that Esther managed to secure for us during peak season: The Cliff, Entim Main Camp, and Elephant Gorge Camp. Each offered a unique experience: waking up to sunrise over the lake from our bed at The Cliff, listening to hippos from our rooms at Entim Main Camp, and enjoying breathtaking views of Mt. Kilimanjaro (along with a few giraffes!) from Elephant Gorge Camp.

Most importantly, our guide, Robin, made the trip truly unforgettable. He was incredibly responsible, attentive, and helpful throughout the safari. We were so impressed by his dedication that our entire group decided to tip him 50% more than the recommended amount as a token of our appreciation.

This safari was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and Esther and Robin played a huge role in making it so seamless and memorable. I would wholeheartedly recommend Estleon to anyone considering a safari in Kenya.

Good trip
5/5

My Kenya safari with Bernard and your team was truly extraordinary – witnessing the Big Five in the wild felt like stepping into a documentary! Bernard’s expertise was phenomenal; his ability to track lions and explain their social dynamics left us in awe.

To share honest feedback: While the safari itself was perfection, our lodge’s "close-to-nature vibe" did come with some uninvited guests like insects and geckos galore. But we recognize this is simply part of the authentic savanna environment, not a reflection of your team’s efforts.

Perfect itinerary to see everything
5/5

We initially chose ESTLEON Adventures because of the itinerary. It covered all the things we wanted to see. It was spot on. A perfect 7 days to see everything Kenya had to offer. Each park had a highlight.

Amboseli we saw so many elephants it was overwhelming, plus Baby elephants nursing. We saw Buffalos mating. Ostrich doing its mating dance, so many Zebras and elegant Giraffes.

Lake Naivasha and Nakuru we saw abundance of Giraffes play fighting, cheetahs, more Zebras and wilderbeasts. A highlight was cruising the lake and seeing the Hippos then walking amongst the Zebras, and Giraffes up close. Truly magical.

Masi Mari we saw Cheetahs hunt down an Impala. Unbelievable experience. The same day we saw a Lion eating a kill, then walk away only to watch a hyenas sneak in to eat the rest.

The accommodation was great. We liked that it was all inclusive buffet style. Always plenty of food. We paid for the upgrade to The Cliff. A real treat in the middle of our trip with the most spectacular sunrise over the lake.

Finally our Guide. 10 years experience and a diploma in Tourism. He was an absolute expect in the animals we saw. He also had good contacts with others in the parks and would find where the action was happening. 7 days is a long time to spend in a car with a stranger. But with Bernard it was easy conversation and really informative insights on the animals. We learnt so much.

The thing we learnt about a safari is “Mother nature decides when she wants to romance you” We were really lucky to see what we saw in 7 days.

Our world safari with Estleon
5/5

We are four seniors and had a three-day- trip with Estleon. We really enjoyed the Safari. Special thanks to Esther and Joseph’s professional and attentive service. They were so nice and accommodating all our requirements. We appreciate it very much. If we come back to see the Kilimanjaro mountains next time. We will definitely use Estleon again and again.

This was by far the best safari tour available in Kenya!
5/5

I can't say enough about Estleon Adventures. From the moment we requested a quote to the safari itself, everything was absolutely amazing. Our tour guide Bernard (Ben) exceeded every expectation we had. He was unbelievably knowledgeable about everything we asked and did everything he could to get us up close and personal with all the animals. We even witnessed a lion pride hunt and take down a zebra our first night there. We did an 8 day safari and wish we could have done more. We seen more animals and experienced more culture than we thought was possible. Esther was amazing with communicating and setting everything up for us. The accomodations were beyond what we could have imagined and made the entire trip stress free. Even though they call them camps, they are equivalent to some of the best resorts available. Esther had everything set up and we didn't have to worry about a single thing. If you are looking for an exceptional, locally owned company for your safari, Estleon Adventures is your best option out there. You will not be disappointed!

Estleon Adventures was a fantastic tour operator.
5/5

They were very prompt in all correspondence. The actual tour itself was organized wonderfully and the camps that were booked perfectly suited our family. Our guide was fantastic, and a pleasure to be around. It does seem the guides are individually contracted so this may be variance to consider. One thing to keep in mind is that there is a significant amount of travel in the safari Jeeps.
