Phenomenal
This tour was incredible. I had been told by people who have been on safari that there is nothing like it, that it is life-changing. They were right. Witnessing the beauty and the raw power of nature is beyond compare.
Gofan Safaris provided this experience for us. Our tour guide/driver, Onesmus Mutunga is one of a kind. He was a wealth of information about every species and natural wonder. He patiently answered our questions, allowing us ample time to see everything, yet was still be mindful of the time to make sure we didn’t miss anything. It was easy to see that he loves what he does and enjoyed sharing everything he knew. He was also very careful—we always felt safe— and he saw to our every need while out on the reserve. The entire trip was comfortable and organized. The first day of safari we said hello to our guide. The day we left, we said good-bye to a friend. I highly recommend Gofan Safaris. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

Hogan on the Masai Mara
I’ve traveled to Kenya and the Masai Marabnine times and this may have been the best trip yet. Wild Kingdom moments every day! Gofan is the best and our driver Onesmus was awesome!

Amazing, very professional and patient team
The drivers are on time, professional,clean, engaging and knowledgeable.The office team very responsive.
Just what we wanted!
This safari was a very good value. We were able to book a second van on short notice because we were concerned about luggage fitting, and they were very accommodating. The most convenient part was that they took care of travel to the safari lodge and all the way back to the Nairobi airport.
We saw lots of animals and had a perfect amount of stops. Definitely a good budget safari!

Great experience with Gofan Safaris!
We had an amazing safari to the Nairobi National park then to Sheldrick Orphanage. Thanks, Shaddie for organizing the trip for us. The driver also came on time and was great as well. I would highly recommend Gofan Safaris.

The Best Safari Company in Africa!
Our Kenyan experience with GoFan Safaris was absolutely outstanding from start to finish—truly a five-star adventure. Every detail was handled seamlessly, making the entire trip feel effortless and stress-free.
This was our 5th trip to Africa an we have used GoFan on every single trip because they are that amazing!
The communication leading up to and throughout the safari was clear, prompt, and professional. Logistics were perfectly coordinated, so we never had to worry about a thing. Everything ran right on time, which made the experience even more enjoyable. (Especially as a photographer that likes to get out before sunrise)
A huge highlight was Francis, our driver, who was simply incredible. His ability to spot animals was unbelievable—we saw things we never would have noticed on our own. Beyond his sharp eye, he was also extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate, and funny, which added so much to the experience.
From start to finish, everything about this trip was smooth, exciting, and memorable. If you’re considering a safari, GoFan Safaris delivers an experience that is not only easy and well-organized, but truly exceptional. Highly recommended!

MOST RELIABLE DESTINATION AND TRANSPORT MANAGEMENT COMPANY IN EAST AFRICA
I booked my 5 days Tour to Nairobi with Gofan Safaris in Kenya. I had little knowledge about Nairobi City and places i preferred to visit but i trusted their expertise in arranging my desired tours and transport requests.
Shadrack and Maria were very responsive to my requests and advised me accordingly. They advised on the best timings to visit particular places.
I planned to Visit the Giraffe Center, do a Nairobi City Tour to the craft markets and also a safari to Nairobi National Park.
Maria was the main contact person for Gofan Safaris - Kenya and helped in having all these tours well-arranged beyond my expectations. She did an amazing job to ensure that all was well arranged for me especially vehicles to be used and accommodations. She booked my accommodation in Nairobi at West Lerruant Hotel in Nairobi West, which was budget friendly, clean and well-located. I highly recommend!
Vehicles that were used throughout my stay were well maintained and always so clean. The drivers were clean, so professional and observed traffic rules. Micheal picked me from the airport; was so good at taking the best pictures, Polycarp was the best at city tour; teaching me basic Kiswahili words to use around town (Jambo - "Hello", Asante - "Thank you"), Njoroge was a wildlife expert and was the best to go with for the National Park tour then Sylias was so patient with me while i maneuvered through airport check points and choas. You can request for one driver throughout your trip but i preferred the change.
Food is in plenty in Kenya and is so satisfying. Expect to eat a lot of white or red meat- if you are meat lover; Try Carnivore Restaurant for a fun meat-eating Experience; You will than me later. There are also a variety of vegetarian options. Vegetarians are also catered for in Nairobi city. Ugali and greens are a must try!
I highly recommend all travelers to trust Gofan Safaris & Travel Africa Limited for all your desired tours and transfers within East Africa. They have branches in Four East African Countries - Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda then Rwanda and organize transfers and safaris within all these 4 countries.
I will definitely contact them again!

Great drivers, the vehicles were near new and really well maintained.
I have been booking my group tours through Gofan for many years and will continue to do so.
