Superb
Songe is our tour guide for 7 days, he is friendly, helpful and fun, he also managed to show us the Big 5 animals which we wanted to see. He always try his best to show us the best angle of seeing the animals. We had a wonderful time in Kenya, and would definitely recommend Apodiformes Adventures to our friends in the future.

Silas and team were Professional, Efficient, Responsive, Friendly, Accommodating, and Reliable!
Silas and team were Professional, Efficient, Responsive, Friendly, Amazingly Accommodating, and Reliable. They facilitated our custom itinerary which included Nairobi, Samburu, Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara, Amboseli, Diani Beach, Tsavo West & Tsavo East. It was just the two of us, and the trip was for 19 days in total. As we are professional photographers, we had some very specific requirements, but we also wanted to have a great experience. Silas and his team did everything possible to deliver everything for us, with fantastic value for money. Any questions were answered extremely quickly. Any issues or confusion that arose, were handled immediately and smoothly. Dealing with Apodiformes was an absolute pleasure! It was an amazing experience. Our guides, Dickson & Isaiah were truly fantastic. They were both brilliant at their job, but they are also lovely people, who it was a pleasure to spend the time with. The atmosphere while out on the game drives was really good all of the time!
For Samburu, Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara & Amboseli, we had Dickson. Dickson is an amazing driver and guide, and he knows those parks VERY well! He managed to get us into fantastic positions based on what we were asking for to get the shots we had in our heads. He also had fantastic patience when it came to the times where we had to wait around for a scene to unfold, to mean we could get the best shots possible. We were first to multiple sightings, including, Cheetah, Lions, White & Black Rhino & Leopard, as they were sightings that Dickson himself made happen due to his knowledge of the parks. It's obvious that Dickson is VERY passionate about delivering sightings.
For Tsavo East & Tsavo West, our guide was Isaiah. The first thing that has to be said about Isaiah, is that NOTHING is too much trouble for him. He is so relaxed and patient, that we were very happy to just focus on what we needed to do to, and he helped us to find what we needed, and was very happy to get us into the positions we needed to be in. January is a quiet time of year for some of the famous animals in Tsavo, as vast numbers of them are gone to Tanzania, but we really wanted to focus on Tsavo's famous "red elephants". We also wanted to find and photograph some big tuskers, and with Isaiah's help & patience, we actually managed to find quite a few, including some extremely rare super tuskers - 2 that I could specifically identify, and a possible third.
One important thing that stood out about both guides was their respect for the animals. Under no circumstances did they allow themselves to end up in a position where we were causing stress or upset to any animal. We were all unanimously happy to leave any sighting where it looked like it was going to get crowded, as happens far too often in the Masai Mara. BRAVO to Dickson & Isaiah, and to Apodiformes Adventures! I highly recommend Apodiformes Adventures to everyone!

Attentive to detail, personalising our unforgettable safari
Every detail from pick up to drop off was managed so we could just sit back and enjoy our safari. Our driver, Songee, was extremely knowledgeable and was always keen to prioritise what we wanted to see on our safari drives. He knew when to wait and watch the animals and when we would be wasting our time, as the animals were hiding or would turn back from a migration crossing. He knew animal territories in the parks and where to go to see what, multiple times finding us animal experiences with just our keep and away from the carnage of 40 keeps trying to look at 1 sleeping lion. He advised us on our last safari drive to wait and watch a single sleeping lion, as all the other jeeps left, we waited and saw another 5 lions appear, hidden in the grass.
Highly recommend the operator and we had an unforgettable 5 nights away.

Amazing Safari with Apodiformes
We had a wonderful trip in Kenya with Apodiformes Adv. Our guide, Sebastian, is a great advisor to our trip. He is efficient driver, and is full of knowledge of the wild world. With a great vision, he helped us to catch three of the Big Five in our first day in Lake Nakuru. Sebastian deals with all kinds of problems on the road. Without him, our Safari would not be so smooth.

Fantastic Safari!
This was a bucket list once in a lifetime trip for us. We heard about Apodiformes Adventures from a friend who used them. They did not disappoint. Silas was our point of contact. He was johnny on the spot when we reached out via email. Every time, his response was almost immediate. He was amazingly easy to work with. Our rooms were exceptional. We felt like we were living in luxury for the week! Our driver for the safari was Kevin. We definitely got the best. I was impressed with the wealth of information he was able to present. When we saw various animals, about things we passed in travel from one park to another, and with all the questions we peppered him with, he knew his stuff. And personality, he is a smiler. Totally kind and charming. You could tell he knew other safari drivers and they liked him. I remember one time, many groups were searching for a leopard hiding in the bushes. Others left out of frustration in not finding him. Kevin was smart. He drove around the back side and we found the cat. Everyone else then followed our lead. Kevin thought through and didn't give up. I highly recommend Kevin and Apodiformes Adventures.

Songwe is an excellent guide who can show you the wildlife in an incredible way
We travelled through Kenya for 6 days. Songwe is an exceptionally capable guide, we found all of the big 5 species within 3 days! He was able to help us with all upcoming issues. The tour vehicle was very reliable, with cozy seats and great views through the roof.

Great safari! We saw all of the Big 5 and lots of other animals even very close by
We booked this incredible 6-day-Safari with Apodiformes Adventures and we couldn’t have been happier with our guide Songe. We went to the Amboseli National park, to Lake Nakuru and finally to Massi Mara. He made sure we saw all of the big five animals (lion, elephant, rhinoceros, buffalo and leopard) within only 3 days. He went above and beyond to assure that we could see as many lions as possible (41 lions in total!). Because we forgot our digital camera, we needed to get really close to the animals to take photos and Songe managed to get us as close as 2m to the animals and sometimes the big cats went by directly next to the car. Even when most guides didn’t drive up close to the big cats Songe talked to the rangers and got us directly in front of them. He listened to our requests about the animals we wanted to see, stopped at the right spots so we could take beautiful photos and even went off road to ensure we would get the perfect photos. He always was in contact to the other guides and assured us to be at the right spots at the right time to see the rare animals like leopards and rhinos. When there were many jeeps near one animals he made sure we could get to the front and as close to the animal as possible. Songe is a very friendly guide who told us a lot about the animals and the national parks. The jeep is sturdy and the seats are comfortable. Overall we are very glad he was our guide and can’t recommend him enough

Highly committed
We found Janet to be very helpful, she would always return our emails almost immediately! Not to say it was not without glitches, the initial lodgings we had agreed on could actually not be confirmed after we made the initial payment. But we did find an alternative good solution. Our guide was Kevin, he made all the effort to get to the right places at the right time. He was always ammenable to our requests.
We were very happy with all the accomodations and the parks, all met our expectations!
We visited 3 parks, Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Amboseli, it was quite a stretch to go from one to the other, but we found it well worth it, they are quite different and spectacular!
