Mr David Mbuthia is an excellent tour guide who absolutely knows his business. Best guide I've ever
5/5

I have lived and worked in Kenya for a number of years and have experienced many conservancy style safari trips. I can say without hesitation the the package delivered by Mr David Mbuthia (Native Africa Trails) is the best of them all, we have never seen so many of the big 5 so often. His attention to detail, knowledge of the Mara sites, prices and attitude towards his clients is excellent. I unequivocally recommend the 4 day safari experience to anyone, you will love it

A very easy booking experience. The trip was expertly planned by Native Africa Trails with our bespoke needs taken into consideration. Incredibly enjoyable from start to finish. Safari vehicle very clean and well maintained. Hotel super. Maasai Mara beautiful. All in all one of the highlights of our time in Kenya.

5/5

We had a tailored package in the Mara which was exceptional. His knowledge and professionalism was first class. We saw everything and more that we wanted. He worked tirelessly to deliver for us all from start to finish. It’s every small detail that makes him a step above the others we have used. Highly recommended and would use him again.
His vehicle was spotless, fully fitted with a fridge, phone charging points and exceptionally comfortable.
The local knowledge of the Mara enabled us to see everything we wanted.

Great safari experience
5/5

David was recommended to us by Mara Serena hotel, in which we stayed with a friend while visiting Masai Mara. David picked us up from the airport upon arrival, drove us to Masai Mara and did game drives with us. It was super convenient as we did not have time to plan ahead of our trip. As we were super happy with David, we extended our booking by a few more days, and went with him to Lake Nakuru Park.

Overall, we had a great experience with David. He is very knowledgeable about all topics, be it safari animals or Kenya politics. We truly had super interesting conversations. On top of that, David went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience, and always proved flexible, timely, and helpful.

Would recommend Native Africa Trails and David to anyone, and would definitely use their help should I come back to Kenya. Thank you again !

My tour operator was reliable, trustworthy, and wouldn't hesitate to suggest him.
5/5

I used David from Native America Travels to drive me from the Serena Mara Lodge in the Mara Triangle to Nairobi during the Covid and found that he was very reliable and made this journey an easy and safe one. We had great conversations filling in the hours but also I was comfortable just watching the scenery and enjoying myself. He comes highly recommended.

5 unforgettable days in Maasai Mara with David
5/5

David really is the guy you need for your safari adventure in Kenya for sure. Originally he was suposed to be "just" our guide for the Maasai Mara safari but ended up being much more than that. He went above and beyond to make our whole visit to Kenya go smooth and without any hustle. The time we spent in Maasai Mara was simply magical. David made sure that we saw the whole big five as well as the big nine (including the famous Fast Five) and so much more. We spent 4 nights in Mara Serena which also added to the experience (beautiful place with super friendly staff and great view from every room). If you want to watch the most exciting animals from up close while listening to a fascinating commentary about how they live and much much more, ask for David. 6 stars out of 5. Thanks a lot pal! See you next time

Amazing Safari in Masai Mara with David
5/5

I spent 3 wonderful days with The guide David.
He came to pick me up at the airport and then we moved to Masai Mara (6 hours drive).
We stopped to have a typical lunch and the stay in Masai Mara was exceptional.
He is very flexible, He taught me a lot about the nature, the country, the culture.
I recommend you to him 200%.
The lodge was Fantastic (Serena).
We saw tons of animals, lions, leopard, giraffes, hippos, crocos.
We also saw lions hunting a gnou and killing him and the cab came to eat him. It was a fiction scene only seen in TV.

Thank you very much David, I will come back.
