Mr Wilson knows lots about Lions
Thanks Mr Wilson for taking me on my first safari. He picked me up from Jomo Kenyatta airport in his Daewoo Lanos and took me for food in the Carnivore restaurant before dropping me to the hotel. On safari we saw all the animals. And we finished the day at the lapper. Thanks again. I'll be back soon.

Not just a safari. It was an experience.
Looking for a safari online was very overwhelming. There are many options that offer similar tour deals and packages. I spent some time reading at reviews. Mr. Wilson’s tour called my eye right when I kept seeing te ríes about his honesty and charm. I did contacted him. Got and replay a few hours after with a detail itinerary and the price in writing. I kept shopping around, but I got convinced with Mr. Wilson. I confirmed my safari date and time.
While I was planning my trip, I needed a train ticket from Nairobi to Mombasa. I learned that I required a local phone number or Mpesa system to pay for the ticket. I reached out to Mr. Wilson. He did not hesitate to help me out. I sent him my passport info and the itinerary for the train ticket I wanted. A few minutes after, I received a screenshot with my train ticket. Yes!, he paid that with his own money. I hadn’t even pay for the safari yet, it been in Kenya yet. His vote of confidence was extremely generous! When I met him in, I paid the safari and the train ticket (the original price). He didn’t even made a profit about it!
The safari in general was not just a trip. It was an experience. Jimmy (the driver) was patience, made sure we all felt good and gave us time to admire and take pictures. He was very knowledgeable about the animals. He gave us facts and made everybody in the group feel included. We were a total of 5. We were all solo travelers from different countries and languages. The culture mix in the van was amazing. There were Japanese, Danish, French, English, Swahili and Spanish native languages. Fascinating !
The lodge were we stayed was comfortable. We all had our own tent. To my surprise, each tent had its own bathroom with running water and hot shower.. yes! Hot shower !
The food was buffet style. It was tasty and had several options for vegetarians (like me). We (the group) agreed about the food being delicious and generous portions! We all took second rounds !
During the full day drive, I had the most memorable time during the safari. We had a picnic right under a tree looking at some elephants far away. This is the moment when this safari became into an experience. Jimmy had us lunch bags pre-made from the lodge. I also had to mention, there was plenty of drinking water at all the times.
I am very satisfied about the my experience. I feel it was worth every penny. I feel confident to recommend this to my family and friends.
Asante sana Rafiki!

Amazing climb on the roof of Africa
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.

Amazing Time in the Masai Mara!
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.

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

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 promise you the unforgettable memory.
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.

Great half-day safari
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!
