Flexible, communicative and reliable organisation and a good tour
4/5

It was pretty good in all ways.

But one member of our group needed to go to the airport after the tour and not mentioning an extra fee, did the driver expect one of another KSH 1000.- after delievering her there.
Honest as i am is this a general phenomena in Kenia, which i really recommend everybody there to change immediately. It makes people just feeling tricked. And tricked people will usually not come back again. In whatever kind of case.
I told it to the driver (who otherwise made a great job) and Mr. Wilson already. I hope they will change that in the future. Being even there that communicative as they have been in any other case.
Otherwise, great job!

Well back to my experience, the safari was good, the accommodation at Lenchada was okay and for my part was everything done as promised.
I can and really will recommend Masai Mara Train.

Honest, reliable, bent over backwards to show me the many animals in Kenya on a 24 day safari visit.
5/5

I spent 24 days with Wilson and eagle-eye expert driver Peter to see as much Kenyan wildlife as possible within my meager budget. They bent over backwards to give me awesome game drives thru many parks, even waiting/backing up for me to get the best photo.. or catch that roller bird in flight.

Great half-day safari
5/5

We booked a last minute half-day safari at Nairobi National Park and it all went smoothly. Saw lots of animals and it is a great option if you short on time!

They promise you the unforgettable memory.
5/5

It really became my unforgettable memory. There are two reasons I suggest you this tour operator.

1, Mr. Wilsons is the BEST man for you. His hospitality made us feel like at home.
My husband and I are travelers, we’d been traveling for over 6 months, and were carrying big luggage with us, so it was a big concern during the tour. It was the last minute booking, I was worried that too, Then Mr. Wilsons said “hakuna matata”. I was worried about those big luggage, then he said “hakuna matata”. And he was right. I didn’t have to be worried at all. He managed our tour, he picked us up at a hotel on time, he made all the space in the land cruiser for our luggage so we could carry our stuff all way along. Plus, when I wanted to ask something in advance, he replied so quick! Concerning the time difference, I believe it was in the middle of night in Kenya, but he replied instantly. Thank you so much. When we arrived at the meeting point, he guided us to a local supermarket to grab some snacks. I felt safe with him walking with us all the way. Without your service, I would have been so worried about everything especially it was my first time in Kenya.

2, Isaac the driver, he makes your dreams come true.
After leaving Nairobi, your fate is all in Mr. Isaac’s hand. He drives you to Masai Mara, and of course he’s the driver for all game drives. And he is really professional. I asked him animals I wanted to see, and he brought me there. He seemed like he knows every drivers there, and that’s good, because he talked with them by Talkie Walkie all the time, and they let him know when some rare animals appeared. During the tour, I was with 5 local people, and we were only foreigners. Every time he made sure if everyone understood by speaking English and Swahili both.

If we ever come back to Kenya for more tour, I would definitely choose you again!
So thank you for everything. The memories in Masai Mara are unforgettable.

Wonderful Safari Experience
5/5

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.

Very professional, reliable, and his attention to detail in planning our tour was invaluable.
5/5

I recently had the pleasure of going on a safari in Maasai Mara and it was an unforgettable experience. From start to finish, everything was perfect. Wilson was in contact with me within minutes of me requesting tour information. Every question I had Wilson would answer in detail within a few hours. We had an extra day in Nairobi and we wanted to go to the Giraffe Center and the Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage and Wilson said no problem I'll make it happen. Wilson was even early for hotel pickup and explained our whole itinerary while we drove to meet our driver Peter. Our tour guide Peter was knowledgeable, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure we had a great time. He knew exactly where to find the animals and shared fascinating facts about each one we saw. The accommodations were excellent, with comfortable beds and hot showers, and very friendly staff. It was the perfect balance of comfort and adventure. Overall, I cannot recommend this Maasai Mara Train enough. It was an unforgettable experience that exceeded all of my expectations. If you are looking for an adventure of a lifetime, look no further than Wilson and his company. I would definitely go on another safari with them in the future.

Amazing Time in the Masai Mara!
5/5

I loved everything from my experience in the Masai Mara booked with my friend Wilson Wamugunda! During my time there, I had the chance to have close shots of the Big Five (including two leopards!). The guide was very helpful and the accomodation was great. Thank you for everything.

Amazing climb on the roof of Africa
5/5

Together with my girlfriend I climbed the roof of Africa. We booked a 8 day climb on the Kilimanjaro with Wilson's organization starting from Nairobi. Unfortunately he could not join us on the trip. But he really took care about us and our trip. He organized everything from Nairobi and supplied us with the gear we didn't bring by ourselves the day before the start of the trip. The guide who joined us on the mountain was a friend of him and came to take us at Nairobi. Wilson brought us to the bus station at the beginning and came to pick us when we came back. The tour was well planned and the team very friendly, funny and qualified. The only thing that was not really okay was the transport from Arusha to the gate of the Mt. Kilimanjaro National Park and back. The car was too small and in a bad condition. Nevertheless we will definitely never forget this experience and can fully recommend a booking with Wilson's organization.
