Excellent experience, great guide!
We stayed in Kenya for 6 days, and it was an experience beyond our expectations(hotels could do better, but I had little expectations on the hotels, so it was all good)! Laxatrails was great - our van got switched to a nicer one because Peter and they worried that our first van would break down. Our guide, Peter, was super great! With his help, we saw all the animals we needed to see in the parks - just as example, on the last day there, we saw lions, 4 chetas, and 2 leopards ( the last 2 leopards were totally a surprise! Just because we wanted to see leopards, Peter took us leopard hunting for 2-3 hours, and in the end his patience pairs off!) our photographer, Wesley, was great too! He took really good care of us girls and made us feel more comfortable being around the streets. Anyway, it was an experience that we will not forget for a long time, and highly recommend Laxatrails, Peter and Wesley!

Laxatrails is a 100% safe, considerate and professional safari team!
Since me and my friends arrived in Nairobi where Laxatrails warmly and friendly welcomed us, our previous concerns about safari have gradually disappeared. Dennies briefly but specifically introduced our 6-day journey and we had a warm greeting from all team members. It made you feel safe as you clearly know there was a whole team to support your safari in Kenya.
And our two guides, Peter and Wisley are excellent! They are caring, considerate and humourous. Peter, our safari driver and main guide, always try his best to find the best angle or provide different angles for us to observe those gorgerous wildlifes so we can watch them safely and clearly. It is acknowledged that leopards are rarely spotted and we desperately want to see them,but Peter didn't let us down, he did everything he could to make it realize! He has efficient and reliable connections with other safari drivers to get updated info. Also, he is knowledgable about wildlifes, patiently introducing species, habitats, characteristics of different animals for us. Wisley, photographer, our other guide, actually is more like our bodyguard. He would make sure that none of us would get alone and dangerous so we literally feel secure during the whole trip and we could safely experience the local life. Both of them really did care about our physical health and emotion during the whole journey. Besides, they would always be there if we had requests or encountered any problems. For example, we want to try local papayas and they helped us find them in a local stall and bought them in a fair price.
The accomodation was good, beds were clean, the staff were kind. The only deficiency is that hot water and cold water is not stable in some of lodges. It is totally worth changing mini van to safari jeep, because of its larger space, you would feel very comfortable for a long drive.
Luckily, we successfully completed the Big Five challenge in our first safari and totally enjoyed the game drive with reliable Laxatrails. It is an absolutely unforgettable and precious experience in my whole life. Highly recommend!

Excellent trip - perfect guide
From being picked up in Nairobi our guide Ben provided us with a brilliant experience. He was knowledgeable of all the animals on the safari, he could answer our questions but was not intrusive. He was friendly and good company too. We saw all of the animals we hoped to see, the hotels were nice especially the first two and the travelling was as painless as possible. I would definitely recommend!

Hidden Gem in a Packed Market
We used Safari Bookings to search for our first Kenyan Safari since moving to East Africa. As you will have seen there are dozens of companies to choose from!
Laxa Trails didn't have the most reviews but the ones there were generally positive, so we took a chance. I have to say I'm so glad we did!
The guide Ben was amazing throughout, answering questions, stopping for toilet breaks, doing everything he could to find the best animals possible, but without the constant stream of information that you sometimes find with guides. For our group it was perfect!
Hotels really exceeded our expectations, with some really nice lodges beyond the mid-range I was expecting. They are long days when going on Safaris, so the comfortable return was welcome 😴😴
Top Tip: We saw in another review to ask to upgrade to the Pop Up Room 4x4, and you definitely should! The difference between the Land Cruiser and the minibus is second to none and space is amazing! For the small additional cost it's worth it 😁

Amazing Private Safari — We Saw It All!
We had an amazing 6-day private safari with LaxaTrails Safaris covering Amboseli, Lake Nakuru, and Maasai Mara. The entire trip was very well organized from start to finish.
Our guide David was exceptional — a great communicator, always punctual, and incredibly knowledgeable about wildlife. He knew exactly where to spot the animals and made sure we didn’t miss any of the Big Five! His passion and patience really made our experience unforgettable.
We did a private safari as a couple, and it was the perfect way to experience Kenya’s beauty at our own pace. There was a small inconvenience at the Nyati Safari Camp(may be coming from USA, we had a different expectation), but everything else went smoothly and exceeded our expectations.
Overall, we are very happy with the experience and would highly recommend Laza Trails to anyone planning a safari in Kenya. Truly a trip of a lifetime! 🦁🐘🦒
