My grandsons first holiday in Kenya.
What can I say. Absolutely fabulous. From the very first communication with Annette, to being dropped off at the airport by Enoch. This company is superb. The reason for the trip to educate my two grandsons, age 9/11. Far better than sitting in a classroom. Annette kept us inform at every stage of the booking process. Recommended the best hotels, for our needs.. I must say that the hotels were in the superior bracket, and wonderful. The food and staff where second to none. Nothing was too much trouble. Our boys were well looked after. The hotels Mara Game Lodge and Lion Lodge. Our driver Enoch was a delightful man, very caring. A very safe driver and amazing guide. The amount of wildlife we encounter was truly overwhelming. Lastly please may I thank you both for being such lovely people, and wish the company all the luck in the world, for your continuing success.

Fantastic trip!
After researching many tour operators we choose Boundless Africa. Annette was awesome in helping us get set up and arranging our travel. Johnson was our driver/guide, and we could not have asked for anyone better. We saw everything, he made did a great job finding the animals and getting us in the right position. The itinerary was perfect and we had a nice variety of parks. The trip could not have gone better!

Masai Mara, Amboseli and Naivasha
It is am excellent experience with the Boundless Africa trip. The trip was comfortably place with excellent hotel arrangements. The logistics were very good. We were given advance tips about weather and local things needed. Our experience of spending an afternoon in the Sunset point at Amboseli was very special. We definitely recommend it.

Services delivered as promied
Food, lodging, guide, adventure all were excellent. They answered all our questions and suggested a program that suited our wishes very well. They were very flexible in adjusting the program when asked for that. We wore a mask in all public areas, sanitized and maintained social distance. I would highly recommend.

From start to finish, Boundless was dedicated to ensuring we had an amazing safari experience.
My partner and I went on a 6 day safari in the Masai Mara with Boundless Africa and we couldn't be more happy with how it turned out. From the planning stages, Annette was super helpful in ensuring the safari was what we were looking for and within our budget. Communication with her was easy and we did not have to wait long for her replies.
When we arrived, we were met by our driver and tour guide Shadrack. He really went above and beyond during the entire trip and was super knowledgeable about the area and the animals. He was very professional and personable and answered any questions we had. Although we knew it couldn't be guaranteed, we were able to see all of the animals we were hoping (including the big 5), and we owe this to Shadrack's knowledge and dedication to his job. He was respectful to the animals and didn't try to get into their personal space, which allowed us to see them in their most natural way.
We are very happy with our time with Shadrack and our experience with Boundless we would definitely use them again!

Amazing Kenyan safari that is worth every penny!
Boundless Africa offers an excellent 4-day safari to Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara National Park. This safari is worth every penny and is an incredible bargain! The communication was seamless. Annette, who handled all communications and payments, provided me with a detailed quote/invoice and answered all my questions clearly and in a timely manner. She made sure that we were all set up before our tour began, meeting us at our hotel and giving us a quick debrief, an itinerary for our journey, and introducing us to our driver. Annette and our driver, Peter, were very friendly, flexible, and accommodating to all our requests and questions! Peter was so knowledgeable and fielded our questions about the people, the culture, and the animals like a champ! Since we did a private tour (only my friend and I), we had a spacious 4x4 popup minivan all to ourselves, so that made the long drives from Nairobi to Masai Mara quite comfortable despite the dusty, bumpy road conditions. My only complaint is that one of the doors of the van was finicky and had to be finessed by Peter each time to open and close.
We saw tons of animals (including all of the Big 5), including TWO leopards (having a "wedding"), five white rhinos, two lions (a male and female) with fresh kills, and tons of elephants, giraffes (Masai and Rothschild), hippos, cape buffalo, and etc. The accommodations were all as described, clean and very comfortable. Food was also very delicious and had plenty of options for all palates! Flamingo Hill was especially luxurious and the service at Azure Masai Haven was top notch! But be aware, there is no WiFi in the rooms, only the common areas, and service/speed is spotty.
One suggestion I have is to include the credit card transaction fee (3%) to the fare listed, as this added additional cost to our safari that we were not expecting. You must add the fee into the final payment amount on the website, as the website doesn't automatically add the service fee to the final payment amount. We messed this up and ended up just paying the difference in person, so it was fine in the end!

A very professional and helpful experience.
This was the first time we have booked a tour like this and we found the communications very helpful. Each time we had a question, it was addressed quickly. The only complaint that we have is in regards to the Visas for entering Kenya and Tanzania. We were not aware of the cost or that there was the ability to apply for an "E Visa" for Kenya prior to arriving. It was very stressful and confusing, especially at the Tanzania boarder. Also, the need for US dollars was a surprise to us and credit card use is limited. We expected that we would use more local currency.
The tour itself was wonderful and we enjoyed our guides very much. The parks we visited were amazing and the accommodations were very nice. The food exceeded our expectations. Shopping at the markets was not something we enjoyed, but the game drives never failed to impress. Our Kenyan guide was especially knowledgable and we enjoyed looking for birds with him.
The overall experience was fantastic. We would recommend Boundless Africa Journeys to friends and appreciate all they did to make our anniversary trip so special.

Three-Day Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara Safari
We had an absolutely wonderful time on our safari!
Annette was very helpful from beginning to end, and was always very quick with her responses. She even came to meet us the first day, which was so thoughtful!
We did the three-day safari to Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara, with Antony as our guide. Antony was so informative! We loved hearing about Kenyan and Masai culture, and about all the animals we saw on our safari! Antony worked very hard for us to see The Big Five, which isn't always easy because of the elusive leopard! We got to see The Big Five in one day in the Masai Mara!
The Sarova lodges we stayed at were so incredible. Beautiful rooms and very kind staff. The buffets were so incredible! We ate very well the entire time!
I would highly recommend Boundless Africa Journeys, and would absolutely use them again on a return trip to beautiful Kenya!
