My Memorable Adventure by Africa Marvel Tours
I needed a random plan to unwind, get away, do something fun. After along search on the internet, I landed on a couple of recommendations and decided to try Africa Marvel to book a 2 days safari to Lake Nakuru. Wow! The travel agent by the name Perminus took up the task (such a humble personality by the way) and was very fast to respond to my mails with detailed clarity. I was very impressed at the reception already and was excited to get on with the booking. My stay at Lake Nakuru Sopa was perfect and the driver guide - Ken was so informative, needless to say, his eyes are a binoculars during game drives. It was my first game drive ever and looking forward to my next one. Not knowing much about animals, I got a lot to learn especially about their habitual trends in the jungle. I would definately recommend and awaiting my soon to travel booking with Africa Marvel Tours for my next safari.

Professional and cost-effective.
The 5-day safari was an unforgettable experience of my life, and I highly recommend the company "Africa Marvel".
1. I strongly recommend my guide, Sam. Throughout the journey, he provided a very safe environment, which I greatly needed and am very thankful for. His driving skills were excellent, and he had a very accurate grasp of the road conditions. He was very professional about safaris, helping me spot many wild animals and explaining their behaviors to me. I saw herds of elephants at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro and adorable lion cubs nursing and playing. I am very grateful for Sam's guidance. During the picnic lunch on the second day of the Maasai Mara safari, he chose a great spot under the shade of a tree, allowing me to enjoy my lunch accompanied by my favorite giraffes.
2. I was very satisfied with the accommodations during the trip. Every day I woke up to the sound of birds. Each lodging had a well-maintained sanitation system, with hot showers available and mosquito nets over the beds to keep the mosquitoes away. My favorite was the "Oilepo Amboseli Safari Lodge", where I could see baboons and elephants coming to drink at the waterhole while dining. I could also lie in bed and see Mount Kilimanjaro (of course, this depends on good weather conditions). The yard had beautiful dead trees that were perfect for photography.
3. Although January and February are not the peak times for wildlife migration, there are more opportunities to see young animals, more availability in accommodations, and more reasonable prices.
In conclusion, I sincerely recommend "Africa Marvel" and strongly recommend Sam as a guide.

Amazing
Trip of a lifetime. I can not fault Africa Marvel Tours. From day one we were in contact with Perminus who made the booking extremely easy and was able to answer all our questions and even change the itinerary to suit our preferences. The safari itself was truely incredible, Jo our Kenyan safari guide went above and beyond for us, we can not thank him enough, same goes for Medy our Tanzanian safari guide, he even organised a surprise celebration for one of our birthdays. Both Jo and Medy were extremely experienced game drivers, and extremely dedicated in ensuring we had the best views and opportunities to see the animals.
All of the accomodation booked for the safari was above all our expectations. An absolutely amazing trip. Thank you to all involved

The trip of our lifetime!
Myself and my husband had the time of our lives on this trip.
The Safari/Lake Nakuru exceeded our expectations and that was thanks to JOHN who made it happen:)
He has a wealth of knowledge which he shared with us and never missed an animal to see - we saw thw Big 5(the ugly 5 :-D) and everything in between.
His positive and caring attitude towards not only us but mainly for the animals was truly evident throughout the time we spent with him. We love his respect (unlike many other guides) for the animals crossing giving them time and way/switching the engine off and taking the time to observe the nature around us.
Both Tent accomondation in Masai Mara & Lake Nakuru Lodge @ Lake Nakuru were excellent with great selection of food bot different yet enjoyable in their own right.
We were already discussing with John that one day we would love to do it again with the kids when they are bigger and would ask for John.
Thanks again and good luck with the business.

Africa Marvel provided a worry-free safari experience that was beyond our expectations!
Africa Marvel Tours was a pleasure to work with. Communication was always good. Any request for information was quickly answered by Perminus and Zunira. The website provides a lot of information, as well: suggested packing lists, FAQs, etc. We did have to ask for information, at times, pre-trip, but it was always provided promptly. During the course of our trip, Perminus met us in Nairobi to give us a preview. I had ongoing communication with Zunira before the trip by email, and during the trip, she checked in regularly by email and What's App.
The 12-day safari of Kenya and Tanzania was spectacular. Our guides were experienced and knew where to look so that we could see the best of what each park had to offer. Many other people complained of not seeing animals, or not up close. We saw up close elephants, giraffes, antelope, 1000s of wildebeest, monkeys, lion hunts, leopard kills, cheetahs, hippos, etc. Everyday was something new!
Our accommodations were varied and always comfortable. Food was always good, and the settings were varied from luxury resort settings to tented unfenced safari camp in the Serengeti. The staff were always polite and accommodating, "Hakuna Matata!" Our trip was moderately priced, as compared with other trips, but the level of service that we got from Africa Marvel and the staff at the accommodations was deluxe. It is a little scary to send money overseas to a company that you do not know, but Zunira made it so much easier to trust the experience. Once we arrived at the airport, everything worked like clockwork! Highly recommend!

Africa Marvel Tours, and Joe our guide, were everything we expected and hoped for.
We found Africa Marvel Tours easy to deal with right from the planning stage. They provided someone to help us sort out logistics for the few days before the Safari started (we had decided to arrive in Nairobi early, to acclimatize and be sure to not be delayed by potential flight delays.) Our guide, Joe, picked us up at the hotel on the first day of the Safari - everything went smoothly as planned. The accommodations at Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Amboseli were all wonderful choices - lovely accommodations and great food. (We loved the "tents".) Joe was attentive "just enough" and not overly, but always happy to discuss options and plans for the following day. He was a great driver and guide, treated the animals with respect, and was very pleasant to be with for the week. I would definitely ask for Joe as our guide were I to do this adventure again. He was knowledgable and paid attention to what the other drivers were reporting so we could take in as many sightings as possible. It was an epic experience! I highly recommend Africa Marvel Tours, and Joe specifically as a driver/guide.

Amazing safaris which exceeded our expectations!
We had an amazing time seeing so many of God’s uniquely created animals! Joe, our driver, was so informative and really made an effort to tailor our Safari experience. Joe always tried to position our 4x4 vehicle to get fantastic photos! We were blessed to see the Big 5, over a dozen lions, a clan of 14 hyenas and a troop of baboons with babies up close. I highly recommend upgrading to a 4x4 rather than a van especially in the Masai Mara. Perminus was very professional and timely in his responses when booking and planning the details of our trip. He and Joe even coordinated a last minute change to our itinerary which we thoroughly enjoyed.

A real african lifetime experience
At first it was a bit tricky for us booking with an overseas company (especially for my mom), but after some research we were sure this was the company. A perfect family safari and beach journey! Everything was perfectly organized, we had a really good contact with Premius! If we wanted to add something it was always possible and then made a good tour based on our desires! Would definitely recommend Africa Marvel Tours! When returning for the Masai Mara we would for sure book again with this company! Thankyou Fred for guiding us past two weeks! Family Cluytens
Top notch safari tour service
We had a great experience with Africa Marvel Tours. Our guide was knowledgeable, our accommodation (Kibo Safari Camp) was so warm and lovely, and everything was seamless. We felt in charge of our schedule and very safe throughout the period of our visit. Would highly recommend.

A good travel experience
From the pick-up at an individual address, to the travel guide and guide, to the accommodation and meals, everything worked out as desired.
We felt very well looked after by our driver, guide and tour guide. He seemed to be very experienced and had good contacts everywhere.
The vehicle was in good condition, so we could enjoy the 3 days without any problems.
The overnight stays were in good lodges according to the offer.
We were really satisfied and happy with this safari.
