We had a wonderful time with Richard! He is such a great guy and made us feel safe the whole trip!
We was on a 9 day safari trip. Starting in Samburu where we really got to see all the mighty animals. Lions, elephants, giraffes etc. amazing area and very warm weather. Then heading to Nakuru for the rhinos, water buffalo's, pelicans, and flamingos and a lot other animals. Also amazing area with very beautiful nature! We then headed to Maasai Mara where we flew hot air balloon and got to watch the Savanah from above. Amazing! There we also saw lions eating a big water buffalo, crazy experience. After this we headed to Naivasha where we saw hippos and got to walk along the animals in the park. Stood right next to zebras and gnus, out of world experience also! At last we headed to Amboseli where we lived right next to Kilimanjaro, crazy waking up right next to one of the most majestic mountains of the world🙌 We had a wonderful experience traveling with Parrot Safaris and really enjoyed our driver, Richard. We had such a great time with him. And we very fun time! Got to taste African food which was a big hit for us, we really enjoyed it! Also the communication with the team was outstanding. Answering quickly and helping if we were in any doubt of anything. We had the travel of our lives! Would 10/10 recommend this for anyone wondering to go! So much value for money🙌❤️🇰🇪 definitely coming back to Kenya one day!🇰🇪

Excellent trip
The Parrot Safari itinerary was very hassle-free, with someone accompanying us throughout to resolve any issues. Aside from a minor hiccup during the transition between Kenya and Tanzania, everything else went smoothly.
I saw many animals, and the accommodation was quite clean. Safaris in Kenya and Tanzania are really different; Tanzania's is more wild, offering a different experience.
It is recommended to provide more detailed information in the itinerary description regarding potential adjustments to accommodation and exclusions of meals, so as to avoid any doubts or disputes between the parties.
Overall, I had a great time on the trip, and I would recommend it to my friends.

I had a lucky trip and see everything, total worth it! recommend everyone to come.
I sought to find a reliable safari operator, so I chatted with several online. Nicola from Parrot Safari provided the promptest response, competitive pricing, and thoughtful follow-up advice. Ultimately, I booked a six-day safari. It was a group tour, and I was fortunate to be paired with four friendly companions – our journey proved thoroughly enjoyable.
Patrick served as our guide. He was highly experienced, seemed to know everyone along the route, and knew precisely where to spot wildlife! Under Patrick's guidance, we spotted the Big Five and dozens of other wildlife species. He also showed genuine respect for the animals, which aligned perfectly with our own values. Each day brought fresh surprises. The meals provided were delicious, mostly featuring fresh local ingredients – we particularly enjoyed the lamb and chicken. I was thoroughly satisfied with this safari experience. For the price paid, it exceeded my expectations, so I'm awarding it five stars.

Superb service, superb journey
I experienced a three-day trip to the Masai Mara here and highly recommend it. The customer service attitude is extremely good. They usually reply immediately and help me solve any problems. There is also an airport pick-up and drop-off service, which is very considerate. Regarding the driver, he is a driver with over twenty years of experience. He helped us find many animals. The service is particularly excellent. In short, I highly recommend him

Parrot Safari was great, always available, and able to help with non-traditional safari needs.
Finally writing about our trip in July of 2021, near the end of COVID. Joseph in the office was always available through WhatsApp and hooked us up with a private driver for around the city after the safari much cheaper than we got quoted on our own.
We had an excellent time and really enjoyed getting to know our safari driver Max. He had a great eye for animals and wasn't afraid to step on the gas to get us into position for great viewing. We watched a cheetah disappear into the tall grass as Max drove us over to a heard of gazelles where we waited for the cheetah. Max was right! Cheetah kill 20 yards from our van.
We were on the budget safari, and it was expected. We saw other groups with better accommodations, food, vehicles, etc. but it didn't bother us. Food was a little repetative. Different safari budgets attract different kinds of people, and we quite enjoyed a younger group on a budget.
Last important thing to know, there are sometimes "transfers," meaning you join another group or others join you... or someone new drives you to the hotel, the border, etc. It takes a little trust, but there was always someone there to help us get where we needed to go.
Kenya, like many places, you will find plenty of people trying to make an extra buck off tourist who don't know what things should cost.

Great 10day Kenya Tanzania safari!
When we requested the safari, Joseph responded directly. Also the days before the safari and during the tour Jospeh was always available for questions.
When we arrived in Kenya, we were picked up at Nairobi airport directly, drove to the office and payed the rest of the price. After that we started our first part of the tour in Kenya with our awesome guide Maxwell. Everything was well organized, we saw a loooot of animals and were very satisfied. During the tour different people joint our car.
After 6 days safari in Kenya (Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Amboseli) Maxwell dropped us at the border to Tanzania. For this change of the guides the communication could have been better because we didn't really know what the plan was from now on. Also, we could not reach Joseph because we didn't have a SIM card. It turned out that we drove in a bus to our hotel in Arusha and that we from now on belonged to another safari operater named 7wonders.
The next day in Arusha we were picked up by our second driver Ennesto (also a great guide who told us a lot about the animals). In Tanzania we went to the serengeti park and the Ngorongoro Krater. Here we slept two nights in a tent which was a super exciting experience because during the night lions were outside of the tents making noises.
We can highly recommend parrot safaris as the value for the money is unbeatable. It was super nice to see different parts of both countries and different parcs. They are all so different that we cannot decide which one we liked most.

Amazing safari! Highly recommend Parrot Safaris!
I booked a group sharing budget tour as single person. 10 days combined Kenia & Tanzania containing Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Lake Naivasha, Amboseli and Ngorongoro crater & Serengeti. Hence I joined two different international groups, one for the Kenyan part and the other in Tanzania. Josef Muneeni from Parrot Safaris organized all perfectly well, I felt always in best hands. Special requests were also taken into account. He kept contact with me via WhatsApp all the time during the safari and checked whether everything is going well and I am feeling comfortable. Accommodation in Kenya was in comfortable tented camps with stationary tents (almost houses) or in middle range hotels.
For Kenia we had guide and driver Clinton, who was a great game spotter and explained all about the animals. He also organized our meals and schedules for best chances to see as much as possible. Despite of heavy rain on one day, he managed for us to go for the boat ride on Lake Naivasha on one of the next days. He was very well in contact with other safari cars in the parks by radio communication and so we did not miss any interesting scene. We were able to see the Big Five including rare black rhino and leopard and so many other interesting animals. He took always care about safety while driving. Even on crowded roads I felt save with Clinton because he did overtake carefully and kept space. Only complaint (as for most cars in Kenia), one should invest some money in seat belts. Most of the seats in the Kenyan minivan had no or not functional seat belts.
After amazing impressions in Kenia, me and another person of the first group were brought to the Tanzanian border. After crossing we were put in a bus to Arusha and brought to different very nice hotels. I very much enjoyed Charity Conference Hotel with a nice green garden and comfortable air-conditioned rooms. In the morning an individual taxi service took me to Lake Manyara, where I joined the other group (6 persons) for the Tanzanian part (Ngorongoro & Serengeti). In this part our group went with guides and drivers Prosper and Bato on an all-terrain vehicle. Prosper was a good driver and very good in spotting animals as well. He also knew a lot about the interesting birds and the small game. Bato cooked very delicious for our group and carefully obeyed the food restrictions of some group members. Accommodation in the parks in Tanzania were tents on simple campgrounds as expected. And as previously announced, one night I had to share a tent with another nice lady due to the lack of one tent (the car was really full). All other nights I had individual accommodation. After Ngorongoro & Serengeti adventure I was brought back to Arusha and next day to Nairobi (different drivers and bus service). All connections were very well organized and I arrived safely back in Nairobi as scheduled.
I really recommend this kind of tour especially for single travelers with narrow budget and not excessive demands on luxury. You meet interesting people from Kenia and Tanzania as well as from many different countries of the world. You get the chance to experience wonderful landscapes with amazing wildlife. It was the best travel decision, I was fully satisfied with Parrot Safari and I would always do it again.
