Everything we expected and more!
Robert and Joseph took really great care of us. Robert was easy to communicate and answered all of our many questions directly and clearly before we booked the trip. Both Robert and Joseph picked us up in an amazing new safari truck before Robert left us in Joseph's capable hands for the rest of the 4 day tour.
Joseph is an easy guy to spend hours in a truck with. he is very knowledgeable about the ecology of the Mara, knows how to find the animals, and how to give them the space they need. He is also a great driver and managed to navigate very swampy areas bravely while at the same time not taking unnecessary risks.
The accommodation at Zebra plains was also great. The staff were very friendly, the ambience great and the food and drink were straightforward but excellent. I even managed to complete a conference call with work over WIFI while there, although I think I got lucky as it the connection did seem to be a little up and down during our stay.
We'd recommend booking a trip with Africa Marvel Tours to anyone.

Perfect Trip
Everything was perfect. All questions were answered quickly and clearly. The whole trip was attentive to us. If you go on a safari, then do it only with them. We felt very good and safe. Driver Charles is the best of the best. Knows everything about animals. Very caring and kind.

Nothing could improve this experience. Once in a lifetime trip, with a one in a lifetime company.
I cannot say enough good things about this company. From the start of the interactions with Perminus during the planning all the way through drop off at the airport, it was an amazing experience. There are so many unknowns for something like this. Even with copious amounts of planning, things come up and we were in the best of hands. Medi in Tanzania is an amazing guide. He is knowledgeable, has a deep love of the animals and environment, and we truly feel his is a friend to the family after our time with him. David in Kenya is a professional class act that always strove to make sure all of our memories were top notch. I wouldn't hesitate sending my friends of family members on safari with this company.

Well arranged and wonderful
The trip we took from Malindi to East and West Tsavo, then Amboseli was great, wonderful landscapes, ever changing, beautiful skies and we saw so many animals. We hired a van and Charles was our driver, he had great expertise and was a really friendly and warm tour gide. For five days we were in another world! The price and quality of the trip was good value for money. The lodges were a bit simple, especially the rooms, but the views spectacular and the food really good. Perminus arranged the trip, he was adequate and responded very quick to our emails and some changes we made. The van was clean and perfect; enough space for the four of us. We would recommend Afica Marvel Tours to our friends and family! Thank you so much!

Awesome 11 day safari!
The guide company that you select for an African safari will most likely determine your overall experience. They can’t guarantee what animals you will see or what the weather will be like, but they make all of the arrangements for the places where you stay, ensure safe travel between the various parks and reserves, as well as take you on game drives and provide expert information on the animals that you see.
We ended up choosing Africa Marvel Tours for our safari and we couldn’t have been happier with our decision. Before our trip even started, we chatted via WhatsApp as well as email and added a couple of nights to the original package, a decision that would provide us the opportunity to get close to white and black rhinos at Lake Nakuru as well as a tour of Nairobi. They also provided guidance on getting the COVID tests that we would need and checked with the different places that we would stay as to specific amenities that they offered. Then, when our flights got delayed, they made arrangements to pick us up at the airport instead of the hotel as originally planned. From the moment they met us at the airport and gave us Maasai blankets as a gift to our arrival back in the United States they stayed in touch with us to ensure that we had a safe trip home, everyone at Africa Marvel Tours were amazing.

Helpful and reliable service
We are a mother-daughter duo from Turkey, and our three-days experience with Africa Marvel Tours was flawless from beginning to end. Our most urgent concern was safety and we felt very safe and comfortable throughout the journey. Communication with Perminus was smooth from the beginning; he responses quickly, he revised the program multiple times to meet our needs and wishes. He was punctual and attentive. Our driver Daniel, on the other hand, has been very helpful throughout the tour. He was polite, decent and respectful; he was not much chatty which was to our advantage while observing the surroundings in silent and peace. However he always stopped for various animals to show us, also stopped and waited when we wanted to shoot photos every time. He was very helpful with everything. For the tour, he sticked to the program we received, there was no missing routes or unaware changes in the plan. The Ngulia Lodge was clean and the food was good enough, they also had a leopard show. The tented camp Zebra Plains Amboseli was excellent, especially with the view and the food&service. Only down point of our experience was that the car was a bit old, though I doubt that the bumpy roads would be easier on the body with a newer car. Our whole experience was excellent value for the money we payed. -Totally would recommend to friends and family.

FANTASTIC
Honestly one of the coolest things I've ever done. From the start, Perminus made the organizing and payment easy and simple. He was able to accommodate custom requests and some last minute changes. The tour is GREAT VALUE for your money- you stay in the same places as all the other tours but at a reasonable price. And then the tour iteself was AMAZING. Melvin, our guide, was absolutely fantastic. He was very knowledgeable about the animals, and Kenya. We saw animals with him that the other tours missed- including ALL of the Big 5.

Very organized, professional and accommodating
The highlight was seeing a mother elephant and the community trying to protect the young as we watched from the 4X4. I really appreciate Perminus and team for organising our pickup at Mombasa to Diani beach.

Efficient and very thoughtful
Reliable and we got value for money too. They were prompt in responding to our enquiry. Thank you. God willing, I would go on a safari with them again and again in future.

Great operator
Had a great safari with my partner on a 3 days 2 night safari to Tsavo East and Amboseli starting and finishing from Mombasa, we saw much wildlife including elephants, lions, giraffes, buffaloes and so so much more :)
