Great Experience with Parrot Safaris
We had a great experience with Parrot Safaris. We booked an 11 day tour of Kenya and Tanzania and saw all the big 5.
It was well organised and ran smoothly, and we were helped with border crossings and arranging covid tests.
Eric, our driver, was lovely - he was friendly and accommodating and nothing was too much trouble.
We were pleasantly surprised considering the cost compared to lots of other safaris, but would definitely recommend to others choosing a safari.

Perfect all-inclusive tour for travellers with a tight budget
I went on a 6-day tour to Maasai Mara, Amboseli, and Lake Nakuru, which is perfect for any solo traveller on a budget out there! I chose to book with Parrot Safaris because communications were incredibly swift from the get-go. After requesting a quote, I got all the tour details that I needed to make a decision within a few hours. Joseph's attention to his clients is prime. He is always available to answer any questions you may have and is always listening to the client's needs. Budget accommodation was especially good in Miti Mingi Eco Camp in Maasai Mara. I also stayed at Kimana Camp in Amboseli, but this place does need a little bit of TLC, to be honest, both in maintenance and food. If you're going to Amboseli, I'd request different lodging. The tour itself was really well planned, and our Safari guide and driver Clinton was absolutely superb. We saw all the Big Five on our first full day in Maasai Mara! If you're looking for a budget, solo-traveller-friendly, unforgettable tour, this is the one for you.

Amazing
We are a family of backpackers and used to travel with our 6 years old daughter.
First time we booked a trip like the safari from home!!!!
I ask many company a price for it, without answer…
Parrot answered the same day and since then (November), they took care of us. Reply to our specials needs, asked for news from our family each weeks… when we arrivée at Nairobi, they did everything to be helpful (transferts, book train ticket… ). A very big thanks to Parrot, made our first week management so easy. A special one to Joseph, our correspondant. We felt so VIP!
Let's talk about the safari…
What to say about ??? Fabulous, amazing… we saw the big 5! Took the picture of elephants in front of the Kilimanjaro, saw lions in Amboselli, very rare, lucky us… . Slept in good and confortable campsites, with good meals !
Dalton, guide and driver, teached us all he knows about wild life, changed some plans cause of daughter… to make it much easy for her. Thanks for the time you took, to let us know more about your beautiful and friendly country.
A to Z, we enjoyed the six days of the safari.
People have to know… begin your trip by one or two days of rest before start it. Even you just have to enjoy, it's quite tiring… .
We had a dream… Parrot made it become true… .

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.

We booked a package for a combined 11-day toir in Kenya and Tanzania from Parrot Safari. Our tour agent, Jose, was very responsive and available 24 - hour a day even duribg his days off. Everything was perfectly smooth and well-organized at any place we visited. Our guide and driver, Maxwell, catered about all of us for everything and sorted out timely any unpredictable issue on the way. We can recommend highly this tour operatir in Kenya.
