Professional, flexible, knowledgable, reliable, friendly, treats you like family rather than guest
You will probably find 100s of companies organizing safaris in Kenya, many on this platform. It can be very frustrating to organize yourself a trip that far away, in a country you know little about and for most, it is after all, a major investment, a once-in-a-lifetime trip. Where do you start from then? How do you choose among dozens of offers? You can buy a "ready package", like most companies on this platform offer but isn't it better to buy something that is more custom-made to your own needs and budget?
i would start definitely with somebody who will immediately and reliably answer your myriad questions! On Whatsup, day or night, early or late the answer will come! With somebody who will not sell you a "canned' vacation like most do but take time and effort to adapt it to your group, interests, time constraints, budget and needs! Somebody who will out-of-their heart consult you what is good, what is not worth it, what to see, where to go, not seeking to make money on you on "so-and-so" choices but give you the best Kenya experience you can have! Somebody who will help you meet your safari expectations, maybe greatly exceed them! Somebody who does it with passion, because they love their country and are proud of it and they want you to show you the best of it! Somebody who is a perfectionist and the minute you set foot in Nairobi they take you by the hand like a child, care about your safety and well-being along all of your trip and guide you through this wonderful country and its friendly residents!
Silas and his Team at APODIFORMES is that person you want to trust to organize your Kenya safari trip simply because he and the APODIFORMES TEAM have managed to nearly touch the Holy Grail of tourism: make you feel like a LOCAL, at home, make feel you like one of their own FAMILY!
Asante Silas and Isaiah and everybody else involved organizing for us for this truly phenomenal and memorable 12 day Kenyan safari and beach vacation in Diani, we promise to be back soon to visit more of Kenya, we return charmed by the beauties of the Kenyan landscapes, parks, wildlife, beaches, ocean, reefs but mostly, by the sincerity, politeness, smiles and goodwill of its wonderful people.
Hakuna Matata to all!

A wonderful life adventure
It was the first time for us traveling to Kenya or any other African countries. With 2 young kids 5 and 7 it could be a challenge but our tour leaders made it right for our comfort level. It was so fun and exciting yet not tiring.
Everything was great including our camps, accommodations, rides and etc.
If I need to mention anything that wasn't the best is the food options for kids which I had brought some from back home in case they didn't like the food there. But still mostly we find something that they wouldn't mind.
The highlight of our trip was our tour leader and driver, TOM. He is a sweet kind and patient human being and good with kids. He tried his best to make the trip and rides with the best level of comfort and joy.

Apodiformes exceeded the expectation
Silas is very accommodating and flexible. He made sure that we are well taken cared of during the full trip.
Isaiah, our private guide was also entertaining and very caring.
Well recommended for future trips to Kenya. They can customize the trip depending on your budget and preferences.

Marvelous
Our safari trip with Apodiformes was absolutely amazing. We spent 5 days visiting Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru, Hells gate.
Isiah, our driver, was excellent. His ability to spot and find animals was amazing. He was friendly and spoke English well so much fun while doing game drive laugher is overload.
Silas, at Apodiformes , was very professional, responsive and helpful. He answered many questions and customized our trip to meet our wishes.
At Masai Mara (3 days) we saw lions, cheetah and a leopard (along with the thousands of wildebeest, cape buffalo, gazelle, zebra, etc). Also, elephants, giraffe, hyena, jackal, ostrich, baboon and more.
We completed our trip at Nairobi we had dinner at carnivores tried crocodile meat, turkey, ox balls and many exotic food dawah must try This was amazing.
Isiah brought us back to our airbnb place and helped us get a Covid test for a flight back to the UAE.
We spent 2 days more in nairobi and arrange airport transfer with Isiah he made sure that we reached the airport safely we truly appreciate that see you again brother.
I highly recommend Apodiformes Adventures The price was reasonable. The accommodations and food were good and the trip went just as Silas described. We would definitely use them again if/when we return to Kenya.

Excellent and kind
They made sure we covered everything. The planning of the trips could use a small adjustment other than that they made sure we saw everything that needed to be seen. Our guide Nelson made the experience one of the best by helping us spot the difference between certain animals and making sure we remembered their names and making sure we were able to capture some of the best memorable photos.

Custom Tailored Safari Trip
We are a family with an infant and we were hesitating to travel to Kenya for a Safari Trip, especially during the pandemic.
However, since the first contact with Silas he was very helpful and always adapted my requests and changed the trip accordingly. He was so patient with all our questions so we decided to book for the trip. Since we booked our flight from Emirates from Dubai to Nairobi, he picked us up from the airport and drove us to the Hotel in Nairobi. Since we had still a half day, he drove us after a short break to the Giraffe Center. Second day onwards we were picked up by our driver Jackton from our Hotel and drove to Masai Mara, wehre we spent our following 3 days and nights. Jackton is a great guide, driver and now he became a good friend of mine as well. Usually I do not like to write long reviews, however with Apodiformes Adventures we enjoyed our Kenya trip so much, that we want to come back asap. Great value for money and amazing people (Silas and Jackton). Especially for people with infant, they plan the trip according to your expectations. Also for people from Dubai I guess it is one of the best options for a Safari trip out there. Asante Apodiformes Adventures for a great memory!!

Best vacation ever
Great safari company, we had the best safari in kenya. They work with you to make sure that you have a perfect vacation for the best costs. They don't drive up the price for things that doesn't fit you. They look into your wishes and give a honest advice all costs included, no surprises at arrival. Always available on WhatsApp for questions,problems, advice, tips etc and with covid they give you the chance to change dates for free if you have to. After the down-payment and some date changes due to covid we we're finally able to go to Kenya for our 8 day masai Mara-lake nakuru & navaischa-amboseli adventure. We had the best trip ever, while this vacation is not easy to plan because I'm a wheelchair user. After a late flight we were picked up by Silas for the payment and to be brought to our hotel, next morning we met our guide isaiah after breakfast. The safari van is basically a large remodled van with a roof that is opened inside parks so you can stand up straight for great sightseeing without being unprotected to the sun and bush. Large comfy chairs on the side with lots of space, large windows that can be opened entirely and all very clean. The get in is lower than with jeeps(they also have) so my husband could help me transfer while the wheelchair got up the front seet so we had free sight. Finally on the way we drove through the awesome rift Valley with a nice stop at the lookout point and for lunch before the safari could finally begin. Isiah is not only a great guide, but also a very skilled driver. Roads that looked impossible for us where no problem for him and the van. Not only a real adventure but also the best opportunity to spot animals wich we did plenty. Unfortunately no crossing but the parks didn't disappoint us for a moment we even saw the cheetah brothers. Unlimited game drives, high efforts from your guide to find the animals and awesome memories are included in your price. All respecting nature!
The drives between parks is sometimes long but the surrounding is so beautiful that you won't mind, also they plan stops to break the road. Every stop had a wheelchair accessible toilet, a restaurant and good priced souvenir shop to do some shopping if you like. When we had a accessibility problem with one of the hotels Isaiah immediately helped and called other hotels late evening to make sure we could change first thing in the morning. A true worrie free vacation without extra unknown costs. This is a must do experience we can't wait to go back one day and highly recommend this company!
And for the disabled people who doubt because of their handicap don't. We had the best time they will help you, understand the issues and make sure you have a great time

PERFECT
I had the absolute pleasure of working with Silas to plan my Kenyan safari. I started planning my trip with Silas in May 2020 and after several delays due to COVID was finally able to make the trip in May/June 2021. Boy was it truly the trip of a lifetime! Initially Silas presented me with several trip options and then he helped tailor the trip to be exactly what my friend and I wanted to do. He asked a ton of questions and was very patient with all of the questions I had (I had A LOT of them). Because of the time difference I was sometimes sending Silas messages in the middle of the night and he was always prompt to respond. Planning a trip during COVID was tough, but Silas made it as easy as possible. Because of closures in Kenya, our hotels needed to be moved around a bit. Silas was very open and honest with us about this and gave us a few options that he knew would be reliable, calling around to make sure the hotels were comfortable that they would be able to host guests. Silas also kept me up to date with all of the goings on in Kenya- calming my nerves that the trip would need to be pushed out again (which thankfully it wasn't). If you are wanting to plan a trip to Africa, Silas is THE MAN! When we finally arrived in Kenya, Silas was there to pick us up from the Airport and bring us to our hotel even though our tour didn't start until the next day. Our 6 night/7 day tour was magical and perfect from start to finish. We did a private tour, which is a very flexible option. Accommodations and food were excellent and exactly what we expected. Our tour was a good mix of safaris and cultural experiences and we were able to take the most beautiful pictures! Our driver Maxwell was WONDERFUL. He had a great sense of humor, lots of knowledge, kept us safe, and was very flexible. He made sure we saw so many different animals at the parks, which made the trip very memorable! We spent a lot of time with Maxwell and he was so good to us! I recommend you ask for Maxwell if you're taking a trip with Apodiformes! I cannot emphasize enough how wonderful our trip to Kenya was. It was affordable, customized, and a truly beautiful experience. I highly recommend Apodiformes!
