The best tour operator to select for Kenya
It started with a WhatsApp ping to Christine who is so helpful and accomodating to the asks. After multiple conversations where she clarified all doubts, we did the bookings.
She helped tremendously to customise and change the tour according to our needs. It almost felt we had a friend in Kenya doing all the bookings and logistics for us.
When we arrived in Kenya, she along with the safari guide Eli came to receive us. That was definitely not expected and very kind of her.
The tour itself was awesome without a single glitch. All resorts were booked well in advance, all the rides and boating was booked perfectly. It was executed well.
The tour guide and driver Eli was superb! Not only did he drive us long distances without a problem, he also knew the safari routes extremely well. It was due to his tracking and driving that we saw numerous big cats. He was very accomodating to our needs, whether we wanted longer safaris or shorter ones, he managed all with a wide smile. Loved having him accompany us through the expanse of Kenya.
Overall I will 100% recommend Donwel Tours if you are in Kenya.

Perfect safari adventure
Donwel tours and travels made a perfect plan for our trip to Kenya. We were a little apprehensive at first when we heard that we might get some bad weather which could spoil our trip due to “wet season”, but glad we had connected with Christine who assured us that it would not. She ensured a smooth trip even though we had a toddler with us and a vegetarian, not even a hiccup. All accomodations chosen were comfortable and clean as well as safe and secure. Eli was our guide and we have a lot of gratitude towards him for showing us around through the parks tirelessly. His knowledge of the area and animals is outstanding. We all went back with smiling faces and happy memories.

Christi is so warm and such a helpful person. Eli was amazing. Both of the ensured a wonderfUl trip.
Let us talk about the experience itself first- BREATHTAKING. Like a fairy tail.
That entire herd of elephants that I saw brought tears of happiness. It was a perfect start, a perfect tone setting to what would be an adventure of a lifetime.
There is nothing but gratitude for Christi and Eli. Wow.
The tour was so well planned that 7 days felt like one. Every single day was another adventure to locate one from the big 5 or another never seen life. Was so in love with the country and the hospitality that we wanted to stay back. I know that We are gonna be back for sure and bring a lot of our friends with us.
Thank you team Donwell for making this an absolute delight.

10/10 Safari Experience
My husband and I chose a Safari for our honeymoon and are so happy we booked with Donwel Tours & Travel. We coordinated with Christine who was so kind and open to creating our perfect Safari tour. Lawrence was our tour guide for the 5 days and he was so knowledgeable about the animals and the land. We saw SO many animals - it was truly a once in a lifetime experience! Would highly recommend Donwel for any travel needs while in Kenya. They went above and beyond to make our honeymoon special. We miss Christine and Lawrence already!!

Exceptional
They say once you visit Africa, you are never the same — and that’s exactly what we experienced with Donwel. From the very beginning, everything was planned exceptionally well, and every query, no matter how small, was answered promptly and reassuringly.
Christine and Judith curated an outstanding East Africa itinerary where the safaris left us spellbound and the accommodations pampered us beyond expectations. Special attention was given to our vegetarian preferences, which made us feel truly cared for.
From the warm airport welcome to the very last day, the entire journey was filled with thoughtfulness and personal attention. Our guide Elijah ensured that every game drive was extraordinary — from breathtaking hunts and thrilling chases to serene birdwatching moments, we witnessed the raw royalty of African wildlife in its purest form.
We would wholeheartedly recommend Donwel Tours to anyone looking for an unforgettable safari experience. They not only earned our trust but exceeded it, and we are already looking forward to many more safaris with them!

Amazing !!
A Journey of a Lifetime – Thank You for the Unforgettable Experience!
From Madhubanti and family - Bangalore, India
We recently returned from a 10-day adventure in the magnificent Maasai Mara, and we are still basking in the memories of what can only be described as a perfect trip – all thanks to the outstanding team at Donwel Tours
From the moment we arrived, everything was impeccably arranged. Starting from the warm welcome at the airport , the logistics, accommodations, game drives, meals – every detail was handled with such professionalism and thoughtfulness that all we had to do was immerse ourselves in the magic of Africa. The seamless organization made the journey feel effortless and truly enjoyable.
What made this trip stand out was the human touch and personal care shown throughout by the owner of Donwel Tours, Christine. Her and her team's warmth was felt in every interaction.
She provided us with her very experienced guide, Elijah who has been in the business for more than 18 years.
Eli as we called him , was not only highly knowledgeable and experienced but also deeply passionate about wildlife and the local culture. He brought the Mara to life for us with his stories, insights, and uncanny ability to spot animals from miles away. More than just a guide, he became a friend and a part of our journey.
Christine was not only professional but her warmth and personal touch in meticulously handling every details of out trip made us feel so valued and cared for.
She treated us not just as clients but her extended family.
Her surprise parting gift at the end of the trip made us immensely emotional
We can wholeheartedly say that this trip exceeded every expectation. We’ve returned with full hearts, beautiful memories, and a strong desire to explore more of Africa – and without a doubt, it will be with Donwel again
Thank you for making our dream safari come true. Until next time – asante sana!

Excellent experience with Donwel Tours and Travels
We had an excellent experience with Donwel Tours and Travels, organized by owner Christine Mosetti. The planning and execution of our Kenya safari were flawless, covering both our stay at Sarova Mara and Saruni Mara camps.
Our guide Rony during our trip was knowledgeable and professional, helping us experience the incredible wildlife of the Maasai Mara. He took us on various types of safaris - each offering different kinds of flexibility and unique experiences.
We witnessed amazing sights including lions roaring during night safaris, a leopardess with her cub, a cheetah with her cub, large herds of wildebeest and zebra, and enjoyed special experiences like bush breakfast by the river with hippos in view, bush lunch under a tree next to a salt lick, and a magical fireside dinner.
Christine and her team at Donwel Tours demonstrated excellent organizational skills and attention to detail throughout our journey. We would highly recommend them to anyone planning a safari in Kenya.
