Incredible
The service from the staff was excellent. We had a fantastic guide who did everything right. He was a great tracker and found so much amazing for us to experience. As soon as our vehicle started driving, we saw animals every day. One morning we watched a small group of elephants over breakfast, then got in our vehicle and got to see them up close and personal just a few minutes later. It will really be a memory for life! Highly recommend.

A Magical Place
The game drives at Samburu were spectacular. Two nights on safari and we couldn't have been more elated. Beautiful luxurious tents, amazing surroundings and hilarious vervet monkeys stealing sugar packs from the restaurant. Wonderful people of the Samburu tribe present with insights and stories. Huge herds of elephants, lion, even a leopard and a nights enjoying conversation and buffets and the fabulous atmosphere. Just perfect!

A Nice Stay
I had a chance to visit Amboseli and had the best experience. We stayed here 2 nights and can't say enough about how great our experience was. The food was excellent and had a good variety in all the meals. The staff was wonderful. Amboseli probably has more animals per square kilometer than any park in Kenya. I highly recommend!

Amazing Experience
Knowledgeable and professional staff. The game watches were amazing and we got a beautiful view of Mount Kilimanjaro. We had great pictures of the peak sticking out the top of the clouds. The drive between the parks was an excellent opportunity to see the Kenyan countryside. We saw animals of every sort. A once in a lifetime that we will remember forever.

Boundless Africa Journeys is THE tour operator to use!
I can't recommend Boundless Africa Journeys highly enough! Our experience in Kenya with them was amazing! From the very start of the trip to the end, we were taken care of and shown all the beauty of Kenya, its people and its animals. Our guide picked us up at the airport and was with us the entire time we were in Kenya. He was knowledgeable, a very good driver and open to what we wanted to see and do. We liked getting up crack of dawn for best game viewing and he always said "Yes"! Annette, who owns and operates Boundless Africa Journeys was a pleasure to deal with. She created the perfect itinerary for us and checked in frequently to ensure all was going well. I would book another safari with Boundless in a minute! We saw MORE animals on this trip than back in 1998 on another safari. We stayed in a mix of wonderful lodges and tent camps. All were wonderful - incredible views, food was fantastic and service was perfect. It was a big birthday for me and Annette arranged at EVERY camp for a birthday celebration. What a magical experience overall.

Entire experience was so fantastic
Safari was amazing, the food was superb, staff very friendly and polite. Our driver did everything in his power to make each drive each drive better than the one before. On our drive we saw so many animals, the entire experience was so fantastic that will hold a special place in my heart. Not a single game drive was boring. The camp itself was beautiful and super comfortable. I would highly recommend!

Excellent organization and customer care
I contacted Annette in early 2020 to organize my and my husband's honeymoon. Unfortunately the pandemic had to postpone the trip to 2022 but Annette has always been very present and professional and allowed us to make the trip as soon as the pandemic allowed. The trip was organized down to the last detail and the accommodations were all wonderful (including the food). Our guide (Zakia) was very helpful and kind.

Really nice safari experience!
Communication with Annette (the person of contact) was very easy and pleasant and she was always available to help with the planning and flexible to accommodate our requests. Charles was our driver and he was fantastic! He did everything possible to keep us always happy and he really makes the effort to provide the best service possible. Considering the hotels we stayed in and the way we were treated the price-quality ratio is really good and therefore I can only reccomend to book a safari with Boundless Africa.

Almost a Perfect Trip
I contacted Boundless Africa Journeys to set up a trip for three adult couples. We all communicated with Annette who was very prompt with replies and help. She handled all of our communications professionally. We were all quite hesitant to send deposits half way around the world, but everything worked out smoothly, as hoped. We did the 12-Day Kenya/Tanzania Safari, but we also wanted to add time in another park. The next day Annette sent us a new itinerary--all taken care of. She and our guide met us at the airport (they did a lot of waiting around for us) and shuttled us to our Nairobi hotel. We stayed an extra day in Nairobi to take advantage of Annette's free tour to see the baby elephants and feed the giraffes.
Our lodges, tents, food, and guides were terrific. As were our 4-wheel drive Land Rovers. We had our own vehicle and guide. We felt safe at all times while on safari. We also felt safe in the tents and followed the advise of the operators very closely! We loved the tents with the animals outside; quite luxurious. The lodging was so great and comfortable that on some days we asked our guides for shorter safaris so we could lounge about in the lodges. We saw a ton of animals every day and every day yielded something spectacular. The guides (Enoch and Lawrence) really went all out to show us the best of the parks we visited. They were very knowledgeable about the area and animals (and knew where to find them).
The border crossings were quite time consuming and the online visa applications were tedious and frustrating. A lot of time was spent waiting at park entrances, but as they say in Swahili (I think), "Pole, pole." Slowly, slowly.
This trip would have been absolutely excellent had Annette not forgotten to pay for two of the park entrance fees in Tanzania. We had to pay $1300 by credit card and it was a another time consuming process. We felt lucky to be able to enter the parks since it's standard to prepay. We also had to pay higher fees than Annette could have gotten by prepaying. Entrance to all the parks was part of our itinerary. So we expected Annette to reimburse us 100% of what we paid. AND SHE DID, but it took a month and a lot of anxiety on our part! It was an oversight on her part. It happens. It worked out just fine over all, and I would not hesitate to work with Annette and Boundless Africa Journeys for my next trip to Africa.
