Great on ground support from Apodiformes - we had a wonderful experience
The tour was well curated & Fredrick our operator, made sure it was customized to accomodate our requirements. Our guides were well trained & went the ecxtra mile to ensure we had great sightings. Accomodation & meals were comfortable & we enjoyed a special sundowner in the bush. The travel to Mombasa required travel at odd hours & was quite a long train journey, but we signed up for it for the beautiful beach views! Overall I'd highly recommed this operator as they are always available to support & deliver as per plan.

super helpful consultant Stephen and experienced guide Peter
We contact with Stephen and he always responds us promptly, even in the very early morning. He provides us with many useful information and be good with offering different options, which we value much. Guide Peter is Masai which makes him allowed to drive off the main way in Masai Mara national reserve, which is super super important to get close to the wild cats. He is knowledgeable with animals and masai culture. Really appreciate their supportive and warm guide for the whole trip!

Syprose was amazing—always quick to respond to emails and made everything smooth and stress-free!
We had the pleasure of going on a safari with Dickson as our guide, and it was truly a memorable experience. Dickson is not only passionate about his work but also incredibly kind and attentive. He made every effort to show us as many animals as possible — even going so far as to reverse the vehicle carefully just so we wouldn’t miss a great sighting. His driving was always safe and smooth, and he made us feel comfortable throughout the journey.
There was a brief moment during the tour when another guide, Michael, stepped in due to a small hiccup. Although he was professional, he ignored our request to make sure lunch was arranged, which made the experience feel a bit cold and impersonal. This contrast really highlighted how warm-hearted and thoughtful Dickson is. He genuinely cared about both our comfort and our experience.
Dickson is a guide who goes above and beyond. If you’re lucky enough to have him on your safari, you’re in excellent hands.

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.

Memorable Safari Adventure, but With Room for Improvement
We booked our safari easily, with quick responses via WhatsApp and smooth payment through Wise. The overall trip was memorable, but there are areas that could be improved.
The tour operator could have provided more details beforehand, such as weather and distances between parks. The jeep had no air-conditioning, so windows stayed open — which meant lots of dust and fumes. The rides were understandably bumpy (“African massage”), but our driver Tom spent more time on the phone than sharing insights about wildlife. Most animals were spotted by following other jeeps, and we often relied on ChatGPT for information instead of the guide.
Accommodation varied:
Amboseli (Sentrim Lodge): Rooms okay, food good, but water issues (no hot water/low pressure).
Lake Naivasha (Sawela Lodge): Excellent stay with spacious rooms and great food.
Lake Nakuru (Ziwa Bush Lodge): Comfortable enough, though water problems again and rain made access tricky.
Masai Mara (Zebra Plains Camp): Scenic, but one room had no hot water for two nights despite repair attempts.
Highlights included the Hell’s Gate bike ride with a fantastic guide and the hot air balloon ride with champagne bush breakfast — although the balloon safari didn’t offer many animal sightings. Unfortunately, the itinerary shifted and we missed one promised game drive in Masai Mara without explanation. We also had to ask about the migration, which was disappointing as the driver gave very little information.
Overall, the safari gave us beautiful memories, but better guiding, clearer communication, and more consistent lodge facilities would have made the experience much stronger.
