Professional
5/5

My trip to Kenya in September was nothing short of extraordinary, and a huge part of that was thanks to the incredible travel agency that organized everything seamlessly. From the moment I made my inquiry, their team was quick to respond and highly professional, ensuring every detail of the trip was perfectly tailored to my needs. The highlight was undoubtedly witnessing the Big Five, including the unforgettable moment of seeing a cheetah on the hunt. The guides were knowledgeable, friendly, and knew exactly where to be for the best wildlife viewing. The agency’s attention to detail and expertise made the experience smooth and stress-free. I couldn’t have asked for a better adventure, and I highly recommend them for anyone looking to explore Kenya’s natural beauty!

Great Safari trip in 7 days
5/5

We had a 7 days safari trip with this company.
We contact to the company fluently before our trip. The company representative Fridrick reply WhatsApp quickly.
And our guide Sebastian is a great safari guide. He can speak good English, so we can communicate clearly. And Seba have lots of knowledge about nature and wild animals. We not only see big five and other animals, but also know a lot of knowledge in our trip. Seba also has good drive skill, so he can found a good place for us to see the animals. For our requirements, we can directly told him. Seba discusses the feasibility of our requirements with us, and try to meet them. We recommend him to other travelers.

An excellent tour organiser and even more wonderful guide!
5/5

I just returned from a lovely trip to Kenya. We were there for 10 days out of which 4 were arranged with the help of Apodiformes Tours. Our journey included visiting Kenya's most stunning destination: the Masai Mara.

A big shout out to Fred as a tour operator. We had numerous concerns/ questions prior to the booking and he was patient yet prompt to clarify everything. Even after booking, he was personally there to pick us up and had arranged the travel and put us up a wonderful lodge in the park, called Sentrim Mara.

What made the whole experience even better was our guide and driver, Kim. Kim has an immaculate eye-sight and understanding of the reserve. He always ensured we had the best views of the animals while understanding their behaviour. He was always before time and excited to show us around the park. Thanks to him we were able to spot 4 out of the Big 5, namely Lions, Elephants, Buffaloes and Rhino. From driving along the Tanzania border to bushes of the savannah, we left no area uncovered.

The experience of being a spectator and watching all the lovely animals in their natural habitat was surreal. Would highly recommend doing it at least once and that too with Apodiformes Adventures (more specifically, with the fire combo of Fred and Kim).

Note that it might appear expensive but in our opinion was worth every penny.

Fantastic!!!
5/5

I strongly recommend Apodiformes Adventures and their outstanding agent, Syprose, to anyone planning a trip to Kenya. Syprose organized an unforgettable ten-day safari for my brother and me, covering the breathtaking Amboseli, Maasai Mara, Hell's Gate, Lake Naivasha, and Lake Nakuru National Parks.

What impressed us the most was Syprose's ability to craft a personalized itinerary on very short notice, accommodating our specific needs and adjusting it as our priorities shifted—all while maintaining a high level of professionalism, patience, and perseverance. Due to the short lead time, many camps were fully booked, but Syprose worked miracles, finding us upgraded accommodations at no additional cost. Her resourcefulness and dedication ensured that we were always comfortable and happy.

She also connected us with Justus Wildlife Safaris, our fantastic guide who made the ten-day safari one of the most thrilling and awe-inspiring adventures of our lives. Syprose stayed in constant contact with us and Justus, checking in daily to ensure we were safe, comfortable, and enjoying every moment. Even when we decided to make a spontaneous visit to the historic Karen Blixen Museum, Syprose and Justus seamlessly worked it into the itinerary without disrupting our overall schedule. Her flexibility and quick thinking were remarkable.

Syprose also made navigating the logistics a breeze, helping us with everything from visa applications to vaccination requirements, ensuring that our entire journey went smoothly from start to finish.

Thanks to Syprose and Apodiformes Adventures, we experienced the trip of a lifetime. Syprose's professionalism, deep knowledge, unwavering patience, and warm, friendly demeanor made working with her an absolute pleasure. If you're planning to explore Kenya, I highly recommend Apodiformes Adventures and the exceptional Syprose for an unforgettable, perfectly curated travel experience.

A reliable touroperator for a wunderfull safari
5/5

We did a 10 day safari/beach holiday with Apodiformes Adventures in August 2024. Communication has been almost perfect from the start of our plans. there was always a quick response to a question. Everything went as planned except for two pick-up times. In particular, the pick-up in Mombasa and Nairobi before and after the train journey was not well organised. Everything turned out fine after all. A taxi driver on site took us to our hotel. The safari itself was beautiful. Duncan, a very friendly driver, gave us a lot of information about Kenya and the animal life. The downside perhaps was the car, not a safari car as we know it, but a fairly old van with an opening roof. The safari itself was beautiful, we saw the big five within 2 days. Driving through Kenya is a story in itself. One hole in the road is deeper than the other. Some roads shouldn't actually be called roads, some roads were that bad. And often 50 km long!! Respect for Duncan for doing that for us every day. I wouldn't imitate him. Perhaps a real safari car would have been a bit more comfortable. All lodges were beautiful, food was well prepared. The Sopa lodge and the Kibo lodge really stood out. Was great there. The ending at the Leopard resort in Diana beach was also great. We had a large room with a beautiful sea view. In short, everything was well arranged by Silas. If I can give a point, it would be a nice 9.

Organised operator, unforgettable experience with an incredible guide!
5/5

We had the most wonderful time in Kenya on the trip of a life time!
We did a five night safari and visited Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha (walking safari) and Amboseli parks then headed the Diani Beach Resort for a week of relaxation!

Right from the beginning of the experience, Silas was prompt and informative when trying to book our trip. He made adjustments to our itinerary to suit our flights exactly and was able to answer any questions we had.

Our driver and guide Gibson was incredible and helped us see a whole range of incredible wildlife up close. He always checked in with what was best for us along the way and we just cannot believe how much we saw! A particular highlight was seeing the great migration of the wildebeests, elephants at Amboseli and RHINO in Lake Nakuru.

All accommodation (arranged by Apodiformes Adventures) were brilliant! Staff were always friendly and polite, and food was delicious!

We are so grateful for such an amazing experience in Kenya!

Thank you Silas & Gibson

Great 5 day safari experience from start to end with our guide Sebastian
5/5

e had the greatest safari experience during our 5-day safari in Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru with our guide, Sebastian. We got to see every animal we wanted to see. Sebastian was a great guide; he answered all of our questions with knowledge, stopped for all the animals we wanted to photograph, and waited patiently. Every day, we got to decide what we wanted to do and how long we wanted to be on a game drive. Sebastian gave recommendations, but we got to make the final decision on the timetable for each day. He was a very nice and professional guide, so if you book through Apodiformes, you should ask for Sebastian. :)

Also, communication with the office prior to the safari was very good, so thanks to Fredrick for that. Highly recommended service provider! :)

Trip Review: Incredible Kenya Adventure (August 3 - August 13)

I just returned from an unforgettable trip to Kenya, taking place from August 3 to August 13, and it was truly a dream come true! We traveled with Apodiformes Tours, and I cannot recommend them highly enough.
Our journey included visits to some of Kenya's most stunning destinations: the Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru, Amboseli National Park, and Tsavo National Park. Each location offered its own unique beauty and a plethora of wildlife.
Kicking off our adventure in the Masai Mara, we were treated to remarkable wildlife sightings, including the Great Migration. The thrill of watching wildebeest and zebras traversing the vast plains was something I will never forget. Our driver, Kim, expertly navigated the reserve, ensuring that we had the best views of animals, including lions, cheetahs, and elephants.
Next, we visited Lake Naivasha, where we went on a delightful boat ride. The serene waters were home to a variety of birds, including pelicans and herons, and we even spotted a few hippos lounging nearby. The scenery was stunning, with lush green surroundings and a sense of peace that invigorated us for the next leg of our journey.
Our trip continued to Lake Nakuru National Park. This park is famous for its vibrant flamingos and diverse wildlife. Kim guided us through the park, where we were able to see the stunning pink hues of the lake, as well as rhinos and a variety of other wildlife. The sight of a rhino was a personal highlight for me!
Amboseli was another highlight of our tour. With Mount Kilimanjaro in the background, the views were breathtaking. We were fortunate to see large herds of elephants up close, and again, Kim's deep knowledge of the area made our experience richer. He shared fascinating facts about the ecology of the park and the conservation efforts for its wildlife.
Lastly, we explored the magnificent Tsavo National Park. Its vast landscapes and vibrant ecosystems left us in awe. We spotted plenty of wildlife, including giraffes, zebras, and various antelope species. The sense of adventure was palpable, and we loved every moment of our time there.
Throughout our journey, Kim was an outstanding driver and guide. His expertise and passion for wildlife and culture enriched our experience immensely. Kim was friendly, accommodating, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure we had an incredible time.
The accommodations arranged by Apodiformes Tours were excellent, providing great comfort after our daily adventures. Each lodge and camp featured warm hospitality and delicious food, making our stay even more enjoyable.
Overall, my trip to Kenya from August 3 to August 13 with Apodiformes Tours was a remarkable adventure filled with stunning landscapes, incredible wildlife, and rich cultural experiences. I am grateful for the memories made and highly recommend this tour company and especially Kim as a guide to anyone looking to explore the beauty of Kenya!

A perfect combo between safari and dream sea
5/5

It was our first safari and that's why we were a little scared. Silas proved to be an excellent agent, he always answered all our doubts before and during the tour. all our requests were accepted, beautiful lodges and resorts. all good and scrupulous drivers, Gibson deserves a special mention. He drove perfectly during the safari and always took care of us that everything was fine in the lodge. Even with some waiting, airport transfers were very well organised.
we did the 2 day tour in the Masai Mara and 5 in Diani Beach And I would definitely recommend this agency!!!

Ps: very comfortable jeeps, and that's important when you spend 5 hours on dirt roads!!

we were traveling with Sebastian during the Safari who gave us magnificent experience, he's thoughtful and patient, put in all the affort he has to track all the beautiful animals, and tried his best to buy us as much time as he can daring the trip from lake nakuru to amboseli park so that we can have more time doing the game drive. Sebastian is definitely a responsible guide and a good friend.
