Great! From start to finish!
5/5

I did the 7 day Kenya tour and must say that the experience was great! My tour agent Steve assisted me every step of the way from picking up at the airport to dropping me off. The safari guide Gibson was very knowledgeable and took extra time to show the animals around! Lodging and food was as expected. In conclusion, it was a great trip and well worth the price! I highly recommend you to ask for Steve if calling for Land Rail Safaris!

Thinking about a budget/camping Safari in Kenya - Go for Land Rail Safaris
5/5

Being a solo and budget traveller, I was planning for 3N/4D safari trip to Masai Mara,Lake Nakuru & Lake naivasha and was browsing through the Safaribookings.com for a best tour operator in Kenya for Camping Safaris and requested for quotes from 3 operators. Of the 3 quotes that i had received, quote from M/s LAND RAIL SAFARIS was in line with my budget with free Airport Pickup and Drop (which other operators were charging extra), daily Breakfast,Lunch and Dinner. Their payment terms too were flexible. Hence i decided to go with them for my Kenyan Safari adventure.

Though the other quotes, that i received from 2 other operators were lucrative, i decided to book with LAND RAIL SAFARIS because of Mr.STEVE, the gentleman who was coordinating with me about my queries.From the day 1 of sending my query until the end of my trip, Mr.Steve was in touch with me and he was very quick in responding to my emails and queries through whatsapp.

Upon arrival at the airport, i was picked by their driver and was taken to the hotel in Nairobi, where i was staying there for the rest of the night.

Next day morning,1st day of our tour, i was been picked up by their driver and was been taken to a place named NAROK, which is a meeting point/junction where the Safari vehicles exchange the passengers, who are coming back from safari and going for safari.At NAROK, we had our lunch and then we were transferred to a SAFARI vehicle, which was driven by a fantastic guide named Mr.STANLEY. He was an amazing guide with loads of experience in safari driving and vast knowledge on the animals and their behaviors. From Narok, we were taken to LAKE NAKURU and began our safari through the beautiful lake in the RIFT Valley region. Baboons, Zebras, Antelopes, Gazeles were abundant and we saw our first Big 5 there, the Buffaloes. They too were abundant and finally we saw the Southern White Rhinos (2nd Big 5). Our guide Mr.Stanley took us so close (at a safer distance) to these animals and he had a beautiful view of them.By sunset, we were taken back to a nearby town in NAKURU region and stayed there in CITYMAX hotel for the night.

On Day 2, we had our breakfast at the hotel and went to LAKE NAIVASHA , which is the only sweet water lake in the Rift valley region and had a fantastic Boat ride in the lake and had a chance to see a lot of Hippos (but they were inside the water as we went there by the noon) and saw lots of birds. Also we were been taken for a walking safari , where we were been guided through lots of Wildebeest,Zebras, Gazelles and Giraffes were roaming around freely, while we walk around the island. After this trip, we were taken directly to Masai Mara Camp (MITIMINGI ECO CAMP) and dropped our baggage in our shared room (2 beds) in the camp and went straight to MASAI VILLAGE and saw the lifestyle of the Masai people and returned back to our camp for dinner.

On Day 3, we visited the MASAI MARA NATIONAL RESERVE, which was located very near to our camp and upon entry we were spellbound by seeing thousands of Wildebeests, Zebras, Giraffes, Antelopes and Gazelles.We had a chance to see the balance of Big 5's (Lion, Elephant and Leopard) during the day of our Masai Mara trip. We even had a chance to see 2 Cheetahs with their kill (Wildebeest) and 3 male Lions with their kill (a Buffalo) and hundreds of Vultures feasting on a Wildebeest. After a full day safari we returned back to our camp by sunset.

On Day 4, we started early in the morning (before sunrise) and visited MASAI MARA NATIONAL RESERVE again and saw lots of birds and animals. After about 2 hours of early morning safari, we started from Masai Mara and reached back the Narok town for lunch. After lunch, we were been transferred to a van and taken to Nairobi Airport.

These 4days were really adventurous and exciting trip for me. I was missing trips to Mombasa and Amboseli, due to the limited time i had. Overall, my Kenyan Safari experience was excellent one and i strongly recommend the tour operator M/s LAND RAIL SAFARIS. Thanks to our coordinator Mr.Steve and guide Mr.Stanley.

Wonderful experience
5/5

As it was our first time on the African continent we wanted to start with well organised safari. Communication with Steve in advance was very fast and helpful. We did the 6d/5n including amboseli, nakuru, masai mara, naivasha and much more.
Accommodation and transport was like promised. You can choose the type of the accommodation. If you want to do luxury, standard or budget: there are different options.
Further they stay in touch with you if you need anything else while you're staying in Kenya like Taxi-Transfers, Hotels, traintickets or more.

Just go for it!

A memorable experience
5/5

We booked 4 day safari, Kenya Best Exclusive Lodge Safari with Land Rail Safaris. Explorer both Masai Mara National Reserve and Lake Nakuru. It’s really worth the money! We thoroughly enjoyed our trip. Nice experience to see all the animals and the nature very close. Patric and Eric, our driver made all of big five and lots of animal and they are very knowledgeable.
Also thank you to Hopeashley for quick response and the great arrangement.

Amazing (and affordable) safari !
5/5

We had a great week of safari organized by LandRail Safaris. And that for a very affordable price!
It all started when they picked us up from the airport (this is included in the price). We then went to their office in downtown Nairobi to make the payment. After that we went directly to the first national park (Masai Mara national park).
The driver and guide was really nice and very attentive to our requests. Moreover, he knew very well the tips and tricks in the national parks and also the wildlife.
The meals and accommodations were very good!
In short, we can only recommend this safari agency.
