Easy budget safari--saw everything in 5 days
5/5

Silas was very proactive in communicating to provide different safari options within budget to ensure we managed to get the best experience in our short time in Kenya. It was also a last minute trip for a conference in Nairobi and he managed to arrange a 5 day safari at very short notice.

Our safari was an amazing cost-effective solution--we did Maasai Mara, Lake Naivasha and Lake Nakuru and, across the three parks, were able to see all of the Big 5 (including a leopard cub) along with every other Kenyan animal you could hope for (cheetahs, zebras, wildebeest etc. etc.).

Our driver/guide Sammy was very pleasant and professional and went out of his way to accommodate the group and any requests.

Overall I would highly recommend Silas, Sammy and Apodiformes Adventures for your safari in Kenya.

A budget tour and you get what you pay for
3/5

Definitely a budget option, and you get what you pay for. Accomodations were a little run down, but functional. Food was good East African fare. I had two drivers/guides during my trip. The first was not very social and his van was very rickety. We almost broke down and got stuck multiple times. He got us to the animals, but also tried to talk us out of a morning game drive. The second driver was much more personable and I really enjoyed riding with him.

Overall, I would consider booking with them again, but will probably pay a little more and go for a smoother experience.

Absolute perfect
5/5

We booked our tour at Apodiformes Adventures and everything was running perfect from first second in Nairobi Airport and until we got safe back to the airport. Silas from the office recommend Sopa Lodge and it was a very nice place = value for money. The must important for a good safari is the tour guide / driver and we was together in 10 days with Jackton and you cannot get a better tour guide than him. We really like him and he was bring us around all over in the parks and gave us “the big 5” + a cheetah hunt just in front of the car. He really loves his job. All in all our tour was the best holiday we ever had. I can only recommend Apodiformes Adventures. Best regards Niels Andersen, Denmark

Wonderful safari holiday
5/5

The service Silas provides is second to none. Both he and our safari driver James took care of us with the highest professionalism and made our Nairobi city tour and safari (Masai Mara, lake Naivasha, lake Nakuru and Amboseli) a great experience we will never forget. Thanks a lot to both, we wish you all the best for the future and hope to use your services again soon.

Best safari and city tour
5/5

I would like to thank Silas and all at Apodiformes for making our Safari amazing. Silas was waiting at the airport for us when we arrived, took us to our hotel. Next day he took us to the giraffe and baby elephant sanctuary it was amazing, we got to feed the giraffes and touch the baby elephants. Silas then introduced us to James who was our driver/guide for our Safari. We visited Masi Mara, Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli. Silas also gave us the option to upgrade our accommodation which I’m happy we did, we got to sleep in a beautiful bed in a luxurious tent listening to the beautiful sounds of nature at Kibo Safari camp. Our driver James was very knowledgable about the animals we saw and amazing at spotting them. We spent our last night back in the hotel in Nairobi then Silas took us the airport the following day to catch our plane home.
We would like thank Silas very much for giving us an incredible holiday.

Prompt communication and committed to the itinerary
5/5

A well organised tour for my family of 3 right from receiving us from the airport and dropping us back to the airport. Our 3 nights/4 days safari was indeed an experience and our guide cum driver was very clinical and safe in his driving. His knowledge of the animals, it’s behaviour, the grasslands added up as also is knowledge of the country and its history and culture.

Trustworthy and dependable Tour Operator!
5/5

I used Safaribookings to start my search for a six-day Safari Tour in Kenya. Many of them responded in a timely manner, but Silas from Apodiformes Adventures stood out for his prompt replies and unbeatable price.

Silas was always ready to answer my questions. He kept everything up to his promises during our packaged tour. He was on time to pick me up on day one, and quite frankly, I didn't have a high expectation on punctuality in Africa, but Silas and our driver for the next few days surprised me in a good way.

Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Amboseli were amazing places to visit. I'm glad to be able to see these places with help from Silas at Apodiformes Adventures. I would highly recommend Silas and his company to anyone who's interested in coming to Kenya.
