I Highly Recommend Maasai Mara Train Safari Company! They care about you and it shows!
From my very first contact with Wilson, I was impressed with how much he cared that my needs would be met on my safari to Kenya. Traveling Solo was not a problem. He arranged a day tour of Nairobi National Park and the Giraffe Centre where I joined 4 other people. Stephen was our driver and he sure knew how to find the rhinos at the park that day. Wilson also booked a 3-day private safari for me at Tsavo West with Stephen as my driver. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience with Stephen and everything he taught me. We even decided to change plans and spend a day at Tsavo East before returning to Nairobi. Share with Wilson what you desire in a safari and he will make your dreams come true at a reasonable price. Thank you Wilson and Stephen for making my safari dreams come true!!!!

An amazing experience like nothing else.
We chose Maasai Mara Train and Mr. Wilson because of the first impression he gave us. Very charming and nice to speak to him. So we booked our Safari to Maasai Mara two months before. All this time we have small chats with Mr. Wilson, he gave us tips for the Safari and also we did a video call with him.
The day before the safari he picked us up from the airport with his friend David and he helped us to find a SIM card for our phone. Then we went to the Giraffe center.
On the first day of the Safari we went downtown and met with our driver Steven. Steven was an AMAZING guy. A great driver, great animal spotter and storyteller. We had a joined Safari, so we had company some really cool guys from Nepal.
The Safari was an amazing and extraordinary experience. We saw a lot different animals and three from the big five thanks to our driver Steven. The infinite feeling of the savanna it's something that you can't forget.
On our full Safari day, we had a problem with the car, they took us on a luxury lodge inside the park to take a brake and after a couple of time, they brought us a Jeep and took us to the Mara River to see the migration. So they encountered the problem fast and find the best solution for us to continue our Safari. We found a spot to have picnic lunch near the Mara River with hippos in front of us, crocodiles and the migration on the move on the other side of the river. What more to ask for?
On the last day we asked for a small change, we wanted to go to lake Naivasha. Our driver Steve arranged things fast and in the morning we were in the lake with boats for Boat Safari. We saw hippos, giraffes and huge eagles near the lake shore.
Mr. Wilson and Maasai Mara Train helped us to have our first Safari encounter and it was amazing. Hope to do more in the future. Hope to see you again Mr. Wilson! :)

Great experience with Maasai Mara Train!
We were a group of 3 and had a great experience with the Maasai Mara Train staff. We were greeted by Mr. Wilson and our driver who accompanied us the entire trip. Our tour included the hike to Mount Kenya and a safari. The staff during the climb was extremely friendly and helpful and our incredible cook accommodated us with our diet. During the safari, we drove into the parks with our driver who took us to the best spots to see wildlife. All accommodations were standard level (of course, it depends on what level you choose) and were equipped with everything we needed. We definitely recommend Maasai Mara Train!

Absolutely incredible
We were a group of 4 doing a two weeks safari in Kenya visiting different national parks and with an extension to Uganda to see gorillas and chimpanzees. The trip was absolutely personalized for us, the price was unbeatable and the personnel (Mr. Wilson as well as the drivers Chance and Pieter) were very nice people always ready to make the trip amazing and easy for us.
I found several agencies offering safari trips but Mr. Wilson was the person who generated more confidence to me and he did not disappointed. After the first conversation with him, it was clear that he is an honest person, one of the most important things when you are scheduling this kind of trip. The whole trip was without extra costs and all the things scheduled were complied. Lodges and hotels where we stayed were amazing. All of them with probably the most comfortable beds where I have slept during a trip and with buffet style for eating. Vehicles used to do the safaris and to move from a park to another one were private so we could choose the rhythm (we could decide if we wanted to be more or less time watching something or if preferred to go to another location of the park). In addition, the guide’s skill to search animals and to place the car really close to the animals was unbelievable.
I recommend Maasai Mara Train without doubt. This was a dreamed trip with high expectations and it exceeded them. I only can thank to Mr Wilson to make it possible.

Wonderful Safari Experience
I am very grateful for such a great safari experience led by Wilson and Stevie in Maasai Mara. Because of my time constraints I had only 2 days available to see the animals and I am so happy for choosing Maasai Mara Train. They ensured that we get to see as many animals as possible, so we saw lions, elephants, a leopard, hyenas, giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, buffaloes, pumbas, different species of deers and birds and much more. The sunrise experience in Maasai Mara was also very special. The tour was well coordinated and the guides were very attentive to our desires and requests offering plenty of photo opportunities. The camp where we stayed at overnight and the food provided on the way were high quality. Wilson and Stevie went above and beyond to take good care of us even at the end of the tour ensuring that we have a good experience in Kenya afterwards. I really enjoyed this personal tour and I couldn't recommend them more.

They made booking a safari easy
Wilson did a great job of organising a safari for me. Great communication, so quick to respond. He picked me up from my hotel and took me to join my group safari. He also made sure I got safely to the airport after I got back. It was definitely an amazing time and well worth it.

Great tour for massaimara, he knows a lot about animal life
He gave us the best price we found, car was a 90s landcruiser, we stayed in a good tent camp for 3 days, we went to a game drive every day we saw nearly all animals in park, its a life time experience. Note the roads to massai mara from Nairobi are very very bumpy in the last 70 km so try not to put hard case bags on top of the car as they will get damaged.

Excellent Maasai Mara 3d/2n tour
Excellent communication and organization by Mr. Wilson. He picked us up and got us dropped us as our hotel. Ensured we were in the safari van, for a 3 day 2 night Maasai Mara tour, on time and communicated very effectively and promptly. The tour was great, our tour guide Jeff spotted just about everything and was full of information about the region and animals. I’d recommend reaching out to them for a your Safari.

Well organised and knowledgeable tour guides
Samual and his colleagues were excellent guides, cooks and porters. Everything went according to plan, from the pick up from Nairobi, to the treks, accommodation, and food. We were paced correctly so we did not overdo it - very important at high altitude - and the whole team was friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend!

A very enjoyable and worthwhile experience!
Wilson collected us from our Airbnb, on time (even a little early, which was perfect!) for our day in Nairobi National Park. He was really personable, friendly and knowledgable about the wildlife around us, and we got to see so much - from the lions, to the secretary bird, he pointed it all out to us, and he and the driver seemed to see things before we did. Our day was fitted in during a very short stay in Nairobi, and the communication and planning was so easy via WhatsApp. I can't recommend Wilson highly enough - and we look forward to using him on our next trip to Kenya, hopefully to go to the Mara. Thank you!
