Maxwell is the best safari guide ever!
We had an amazing time on our safari! Joseph helped us with the booking and arrangement of everything, and he was very helpful every time we had any questions! Our safari guide was Maxwell, and he was amazing! He knew exactly where to be for the best views! Every place in Kenya that we visited was absolutely awesome! You can’t beat the price, either! So much cheaper than all of the other safari companies!

Great safari and very friendly staff
All in all, we had a great trip, here a few highlights:
Staff: All staff at Parrotsafaris was extremely friendly and helpful. I had doubts booking a safari online, but given I was not in Nairobi physically, I had no choice. However, the team made me very comfortable with the transaction, by showing me proof of legitimacy of the transaction in several ways, even up to the CEO giving me a call. Joseph also helped me a lot to accommodate my special requests (e.g. being picked up along the way), and gave me advice for how to travel to Narok.
Safari: Even though it was low season, we had a fantastic safari and Eric, our guide, helped us see a lot of animals, including three lionesses killing a buffalo, which was then stolen by a pack of hyenas, lots of elephants, wildbeest, zebras and giraffes, and even two cheetas.
Accommodation: Miti Mingi Eco camp was also great, it was a wonderful experience to fall asleep to the sounds of nature. The facilities were comfortable and clean, and the team went above and beyond to accommodate any special requests from our group, incl. veggie food, a guest fasting for ramadan and thus having breakfast at 4am, icecold beer, etc.

Really good choice for safari in Kenya
Parrot Safaris was a perfect choice. Since the first contact Joseph was attentive and kind, he answered my questions and helped us to choose the best package. Stano, our tour guide and driver is incredibly passionate about his job and he made sure they delivered everything was offered to us. The trip was memorable, a magnificent life time experience and we were happy we choose this company for that.

Great Experience. Joseph made sure everything is smooth for us
It was great experience. We went there with my family including my 2 year old daughter. Unforgettable. All arrangements from the beginning to end was super cool and hassle free. Joseph was really nice and organized everything and Gibson our driver was great and knowledgeable too. We will visit again.

Best 7 days safari tour
We made a 7 days Safari-tour in Kenya and Tanzania with the company Parrots Safari. We were 4 days in Kenya and 3 days in Tanzania.
Joseph (the guy from Parrots) helped us really lot since we were planing our trip. He was hugely kind and always available to answer all our questions.
He gave us the best tips and information. We built together a perfect program what suited us the best. Eerything was just perfect and the trip went smooth. We didn’t had to worry about anything since our journey actually started.
Also the accomodations were we spent the night were comfortable, clean and good!
We are really grateful and happy with Joseph and his company. We would really recommend this company for sure!
Jasper and Daniela.

Very reliable and caring
We made several inquiries to different providers for our planned honeymoon trip to KE and TZ and the response from Parrot Safaris was the best of all from the beginning. Clearly and precisely answering all of our questions and providing all necessary and related information. Anything wasn't a problem and they also offered us a variable and additional services fitted for our needs. We decided to go budget private tour, since the price was still very acceptable in comparison to high competition on the market. All times and schedules were strictly abode and small changes to the plan were applied reasonably and/or only after our mutual agreement. First day in Nairobi, right after we arrived, we met our first private driver Mr. Jacob. Very nice young man. At the end of the day we decided to invite him for a dinner because of our satisfaction.
For Kenyan part of the safari (6 days), we got Mr. Gibson as our driver and a guide. At first, he had an impression of big and angry looking man, but quickly we figured that he is a gold. Kind, smart, informative and always eager to get us the best views and spots for the game drives. He is not only a great guide but also excellent driver. Off-roading was not a problem for him and and on-road he drives safely. Because of a lot of contacts among other guides he always knew, where is something interesting and how to get there as soon as possible. Safari vehicle had it's best behind and especially on less friendly (aka "free massage") roads we were surprised it didn't fall apart, however even with my 196 cm (6'4") everything worked well. I'm glad we decided to go for private though, as it wouldn't be very comfortable to squeeze there in group of 6. Accommodation was above our expectations and very sufficient for a budget option. Nicely placed and built camps with electricity, acceptable washrooms everywhere and showers with warm water at least. Only small complaint we could have had was the food. With enough water for each day it was OK, but rations was a bit simple and repetitive - vegetable sandwich and chicken with rice almost every day for every meal. But the biggest concern was the freshness, especially for the meat. Almost everyone we met had some digestion related issues of any degree. But since it was supposed to be an adventurous and authentic African experience, we didn't bother that much. We can recommend all places we visited in Kenya - Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli. Masai Mara was the best for spotting wild animals, boat ride at Nakuru was nice change of the routine and Amboseli was very nice with beautiful morning view to mount Kilimanjaro but a little sad at the same time, because of the drought and a lot of dead animals. If you want to visit any of the Masai villages, we encourage you to do so, just be prepared for the fact, that they all are great businessmen, so think and keep your reason when buying stuff from them, or they will cost you a fortune. :) Time had come to the point where we arrived at the border with TZ and with a heavy heart we had to say goodbye to Mr. Gibson. Parrot Safaris unfortunately doesn't hold a license to operate in TZ, so we had to be transferred under a different partner company 7 Wonders Safari. But first we had to be transferred to Arusha city somehow. After complicated, unnecessarily long and sometimes illogical border check, we was supposed to get on the bus to Arusha. Event though everything was managed well, the informativeness and general awareness was very vague at this point. We definitely recommend to buy a data-enabled sim card, since GSM signal is almost everywhere (yes even in camps and parks) and it helps you a lot to be able to communicate with your responsible company in case of feeling lost. After a few hours of small jitters we finally arrived to Arusha's hotel.
We were a bit worried about the change of a guide. Mainly because a lot of people were complaining about them in TZ. I don't know if it was due to private safari choice, or just out of pure luck, but again we got a great guide - Mr. Nestory. Maybe he was slightly less diligent than his predecessor, but he compensated it with his great eyesight and a very good sense for spotting even the smallest animals, which we were also aiming for. He had prepared a lot of interesting commentary of surroundings too. This time we were traveling with our private chef Isaac, which was nice, because if Tanzania topped Kenya in anything, it was food. He cooked for us every day local specialties and it was very good. This time accommodation was quite really in budget and adventurous style, since we slept in campsites with simple tents without any fence around. But it was even more interesting because of wild animals crawling next to us both at night and during the day. We were able to spot hyenas, zebras, giraffes, lions and even an elephant while standing in the open nature unguarded. A little scary but fun for the most time. Just remember to bring powerful flashlight. We strongly recommend to abide your guide, if he gives you an option to start game drive early in the morning. It is worth it as some animals are most active and even go hunting at sunrise. We were first car in Ngorongoro Creater and saw spectacular things while others were still sleeping. After another 3 days spent in TZ, we headed back to Nairobi for our flight home. Again everything was covered and smooth. But again, rather get a sim card, the communication is much better. Parrot Safaris even offered us to wait at their office before driving us to the airport, so we don´t have to sit doing nothing at the airport too early. Some people decided yet to go to the Zanzibar, but for us, we were pretty much exhausted and saturated, and were looking forward to be back home.
So "asante sana" Parrot Safaris for great honeymoon and experience in general, we would love to use your services again some day in the future.

Excellent safari days with Parrot Safari!!!
Our experience was amazing. We did a safari itinerary very complete to visit main national parks in Kenya (Masai, Mara, Amboseli, Lake Nakuru and Lake Naivasha) and in Tanzania (Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara).
During these 13 days we had very good safari drivers, accommodations and food.
We were able to spot the Big 5 and also many other animals many times. The drivers are very experts to spot wildlife and memorable natural scenes, so we could see cheetah and lions chasing preys, hippos fighting, leopards on the trees, thousands of wildebeests and zebras near River Mara and rare animals such as caracal.
I very recommend Parrot Safari and when I do a safari again, they will be my first option.
