Memorable trip to Kenya with Apodiformes Adventures
This was our first trip to Kenya, and we were so fortunate to have found Apodiforms—such a professional tour operator. Before our departure, they responded promptly to all our inquiries and helped us confirm the hotels we needed. Upon arrival, we were even more amazed by the expertise of our guide. Not only did he navigate effortlessly through various national parks without any need for maps, but after I expressed my interest in birdwatching, he could identify every bird we spotted by their full names. Additionally, he possessed excellent off-road driving skills and assisted us with local communication issues. It was truly a memorable and unique journey.

Once in a lifetime experience, Apodiformes Adventures are masters of their craft!!
What else can we say about our Kenyan Safari trip other than, it was the best experience of our lives thanks to Apodiformes Adventures, Fredrick and William.
I began the search approx 6 months before our trip and it was quite overwhelming. There are thousands of operators with great reviews so my advice would be to get stuck in and start discussing your potential trip via whatsapp / email as early as possible. With this in mind, I cannot tell you how amazing Fredrick was from day one. As soon as I enquired he Whatsapped me straight away and we discussed how to create the best bespoke itinerary for our trip / dates / locations.
We received a couple of really well put together itineraries via email and once we'd decided, the process was super smooth and we knew we were in for an incredible 5 days.
On the lead up, Fredrick was super communicative, checking in on our flights, when we would land, if we needed anything along the way and this was such a lovely touch. Once we landed and had settled the remainder of the funds in person, and we were picked up by William from our hotel.
Words cannot describe how amazing William was as a guide. We were so elated when meeting him and him being Masai, it made our long drives even more interesting as we got a real insight into how the Masai live. He was so happy to discuss their music, traditions, dress etc and we got to know him so well.
The safari itself was everything we'd hoped for. We spent two days exploring Amboseli National Park, one day in Tsavo West and our final day in Taita Hills. What is so important is how well connected William was. He was constantly speaking with other guides in each park, getting updates as to where there had been sightings and taking us there with no hesitation.
We feel incredibly lucky to have seen well over 100 Elephants, Lions, Cheetah, Giraffe, Zebra, Wildebeest, Antelope, Gazelle, Hippo, Flamingo, Buffalo, Baboons, Civet Cat, Vervet Monkeys, Hyena, Jackal and dozens of species of bird, the list goes on and on.
William was the best guide we could have hoped for and was so lovely day to day. Making sure we were comfortable and kept great time whilst allowing flexibility if we needed it. The vehicle was so impressive and he was a master driver.
We can recommend Apodiformes Adventures and William enough. If you're after a life changing safari experience, look no further :)
We will be forever grateful to William and Fredrick. Thank you Apodiformes!!!

Amazing Safari Experience in Kenya with Apodiformes Adventures
Fredrick was our main contact when organizing our trip to Kenya. From the beginning, he was very clear with all the information and quick to respond — most of the time, we received replies the same day. He provided us with a detailed itinerary based on the destinations we wanted to visit, and his communication was always attentive and professional. Even during the trip, he checked in with us to make sure everything was going well, which we really appreciated. Fredrick offers excellent customer service — he’s honest, clear, and always ready to answer any questions. All hotel bookings and check-ins went smoothly, and he sent us confirmations ahead of time, which gave us peace of mind.
Sebastian was our driver during the safari. He was always punctual and followed the planned itinerary, but also showed great flexibility. As often happens on safari, plans may change depending on how tired you are or how long you want to observe animals. We talked with Sebastian about making small adjustments to the schedule, and he was always open and helpful in reorganizing things.
Sebastian wasn’t with us during the hot air balloon activity because the tour included transportation from our hotel early morning, but he had told us not to worry and that he would find us afterward. Sure enough, after we had finished our breakfast out on the savannah, there he was — right on time and exactly where we needed him. When Sebastian tells you not to worry and that he’ll find you, he really means it.
He also handled all meal and timing coordination with the hotels, and you could clearly see his experience in navigating the parks. He always knew the best spots and angles to give us front-row views of the animals and enough time to take photos and enjoy the moment.
This was my first safari, and thanks to Apodiformes, it was an amazing experience. My advice: tell them what kind of animals, parks, or experiences you’re looking for, and they’ll build the perfect plan for you.
Just keep in mind that safaris involve dusty and bumpy roads — it’s part of the adventure. But once you see the animals up close, it’s all absolutely worth it!

Apodiformes delivered an excellent tour experience to us.
We went to Kenya for the first time and had a wonderful Safari trip. Apodiformes provided everything we needed and the staff including Janet and Nickson are superb. They are very courteous and accommodating. The hotels they booked for us are very nice. Meals are delicious. We will definitely recommend Apodiformes.

Good with communication and managing needs.
The trip was well organised and we were looked after well. No issues with any financial transactions.
Hotels were clean and provided good buffet meals.
Our safari guide in Kenya,Jackson was very attentive and went out of his way to show us as much as possible. We had a good Toyota cruiser, 6 seater for 4 travellers
Issue we had were with vehicle breakdown on 2 of out 8 days safari. We lost 2 half days. However given the terrain it is no wonder vehicles breakdown. However I feel there could have been some small compensation given our loss of day and unlikely we will return to Kenya, Tanzania.
On the whole, I would recommend the agent.

Excellent
The staff who contacted me was serious and patient. The tour guide Gideon was very dedicated and would wait in advance. Sometimes, even if we were all tired and fell asleep, he would use a telescope to look for animals. And I will carefully explain animal knowledge and try to solve various problems encountered during travel. Rich experience has helped us see many wild animals, including lions, leopards, rhinos, etc. Although the road conditions are average, the driver's driving skills are very skilful and they are very comfortable along the way. The condition of the vehicle is also very good. The interior of the car is very clean, and even cleaning is carried out every day, which makes me very surprised.

Great Safari trip
We did a 10-day tour in Kenya. It was an amazing experience with an outstanding team of John, our tour guide and Sadrack, our driver. John has deep knowledge of wildlife that made every game driver thrilling.
I found Apodiformes Adventures from Safari Bookings website; Silas reached out promptly after I submitted my safari request and he always answered all my questions promptly. Initially, I had some reservations about the tour because it required a 40% deposit up front and the balance paid in cash on the first day. When John picked us up, his professionalism helped me to feel more at ease and began to trust the tour company.
In the midway of our trip, there were some miscommunications on our lunch and game drive, John and Silas stepped in and resolved the issue right away.
We were thrilled to spot all of the 'Big Five'—lion, elephant, buffalo, rhino, and leopard—as well as 'Ugly Five'—hyena, vulture, wildebeest, marabou stork, and warthog.
Witnessed the Great Migration is truly the pinnacle of a safari experience.
Great Safari for the whole family
We went on an 8 day safari with two young children in July and had a fantastic trip. Before the trip all communication was done with Fredrick who was extremely responsive, usually responding within a few minutes. We made several modifications to the suggested itinerary, and Fredrick accommodated the requests and gave us several options to choose from when we didn't have something specific in mind. On the safari we had Jackson as our guide and he was incredible, asking what we wanted to get out of the tour (i.e. what animals we wanted to see) and he delivered on all requests (other than an elusive leopard :)). Jackson was very knowledgeable about the animals and locations while being very friendly and flexible and managing to maneuver the jeep into great viewing positions. Overall a great experience and would definitely recommend Apodiformes.
