Beautiful coast
The cruise across Mombasa marine national park and reserve was therapeutic. With attractive palm coconut trees swaying along the white Sandy beach of the warm azure ocean . Bonfire nights at the Tsavo national park was a remarkable experience The kenamoti team was friendly, hospitable and knowledgeable of the sites. Thank you kenamoti for your hospitality and amazing experience.

The best experience ever
First of all kenamoti Tours is the best of the best. I loved their services. The money I used to be honest was worth the paying. There was nice accomodation. The food was sweet.
The driver who took us through our vaccation was the best ever.

Unprofessional tour operator
I would not recommend booking a safari through Kenamoti Tours.
We booked a 3-day Masai Mara safari through safaribooking.com (3-Day Masai Mara 4x4 Land Cruiser Safari). An important criterion for us was to have a real 4x4 safari vehicle (as opposed to minibuses). Therefore, we booked a safari that included the 4x4 vehicle.
Communication with the tour organization was mainly through a man named Amos. He was flexible with the tour dates, which was nice since our itinerary changed slightly.
However, when we got to his office to discuss final details and make payment, he wanted the money in cash, which we were not prepared for. During our trip we learned that it is common in Kenya to pay even larger amounts in cash. We were able to arrange with Amos to pay only a deposit in cash and pay the rest when we were picked up, which seemed more convenient.
On the day of the pickup, we were picked up around 9am by two people (the booked tour originally stated 7am) who drove us to the bus. It turned out that our safari vehicle was one of the minibuses and not the promised 4x4 vehicle. After some discussion with the staff, our only options were to cancel the tour (and probably not get our deposit back) or settle for what we got and pay the full amount. We decided to go ahead with the tour since we didn't have time to find another tour. When we arrived at the camp, it turned out to be a different camp than the tour description stated. Also, the tour description said that there was a maximum of 6 people per vehicle (we were 8), which was quite uncomfortable at times. According to the tour description, there was supposed to be another morning game drive on the third day. The driver informed us that the plans had been changed and instead of the game drive we would only have the option of visiting the Masai village (for $10). We were able to negotiate with the driver and he organized an alternative "plant medicine walk" with one of the Masai for free. In the end, it was a nice tour with good game drives, but the fact that we were tricked into a tour that was significantly cheaper than what we paid was very disappointing. Therefore, we give this tour provider a poor rating and would not recommend anyone to book with this provider. Amos is not able to properly plan the bookings he receives, which ends in chaos and disappointment.

Posted on Sep 27, 2022good morning traveler
this was a moment of miscommunication and understanding on the type of safari vehicle that was to be used during the entire safari
we explained the same to this group of travelers and they agreed to embark on the safari
As a matter of fact the travelers proceeded on with the safari only to be ambushed with this negative review
we appreciate your concerns and emotional feelings and wish to apologies for the inconvenienced caused as a result of the miscommunication

Beautiful Amboseli
groups of elephants zebras flamingoes , just amazing for visitng the amboseli national park. Viewing. Kiilimanjaro gives a perfect satisfactory feeling.
we were unable to access the water points ,still managed to see hippos from a distance. Very dusty place.

Magical kenya tour
Kenya was among my few choices i had while planning for destinations this year. My first time in africa with no idea where i would end up having one of the best experiences ever. some may call it luck but for me it was the whole coordination from kenamoti . my inquiry were responded fast. they gave me a one week tour starting from nairobi excursion the first day. then went to maasai mara on to amboseli and ended up in tsavo. enjoyed the beautiful whites sands of kenya in the south coast.
hope to get home soon and get some rest. travel;ling can be exhausting too.

Great adventure and good transport
Even though we were a big team of eight,Kenamoti got us a landcruiser bug enough for all of us without being separated.We had a great adventure through the vast scenaries of Maasai Mara and Amboseli at an affordable fee
