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.

Amazing
5/5

The organization was top from beginning to end! Pick up in Naivasha and bring back to Nairobi no problem. our driver was really great and made a real effort. We had one of those little busses where you can stand and look out of the open roof. Room and board were convenient ... you may not ask for too much for a price of $ 300 ... had to send $ 100 via PayPal and then pay the rest locally. Currency is not a problem. have seen everything except rhinos. We recommend.

A pleasant adventure in the wild with balloon flight
5/5

The communications, services were on the top. The safari tour was something unforgettable. Very many emotions and very nice experience.
The organizer Stephen of the tour is a very kindly person and very helpful. He also helped us to get the tickets for the train (not included in safari).
The drivers are professional, they know all about their job, the cars were always clean.

Reliable and Trustworthy
5/5

It was my first safari and I was looking forward to it. As I was travelling solo into foreign territory, Silas’s helpfulness and commitment to customer service helped me navigate the choices in customising an adventure I’ll never forget. I was expecting a guide but got a guardian brother in Michael, who had taken great care of me , attending to my needs and most importantly, managed to deliver the Big 5 sightings in my first safari. Truly remarkable and reliable. Thank you for the adventure of a lifetime. Couldn’t recommend highly enough.

Best Experience, Fantastic and Smooth Service, Amazing Tour Guide
5/5

I was travelling from India with my sister and we were concerned about our safety. They assured us that it is going to be very safe and very reliable. They gave us the best rates and also helped us customize our tour as per our requirements. The communication was crystal clear and Silas was patient as we were asking questions. The service was fantastic. Our tour guide was Sebastian and he took care of us very well. This gentleman made sure that we did everything on our itinerary and also made sure that we got enough time to relax. We got so much local information about the tribes, local customs and the birds/animals in the safari. He took care of our dietary restrictions and made sure that we are always happy. I also noticed other operators as I was there and I believe none of the others got the kind of service that we got. This was truly my best trip and I would totally encourage you to go with them.

Travelling to Africa made super easy. Absolutely loved my trip. Value for money, for sure!
5/5

Planning a trip to an African country was not easy for me as I had never been out of Asia. However, Apodiformes and Sebastian (+254 794 332694) made it so easy.

Following are some of the things that made this trip extremely safe and wonderful for me
1. Sebastian knows the local people and the national parks really well and that helped us to spot more wildlife. We spotted almost all animals and even spotted a few endangered bird species.
2. I'd never seen a rainbow before. So I was very excited to see three rainbows in a day. Sebastian is really empathetic and understood by excitement for it, and waited for as long as I wanted. He is very patient.
3. Very professionally and kind service. They provide the cheapest rate with great service. I don't think anything negative comes to mind when I think about the trip. When we ran out of KES, he paid for us, made sure we didn't feel a slight bit of inconvenience and later helped us to get our USD converted.

I'm super happy with Sebastian's and Apodiformes' service! Keep up the good work

Safari must do !
5/5

We had a great time on the safari organized by Apodiformes adventures. Silas created a customized plan for us, having the right mix between safari and relaxing time in Mombasa. Our tour guide, Sebastian, was amazing ! Not only did he drive us during the tour through sometimes barely there paths, he also ensured to get us to see all the animals from close by (sometimes, we were the only ones there, contributing even more to the magic of the Safari). Additionally, he would always have the answers to our multiple questions and if he did not know, he would do his research and come back to us later.
The lodges were really comfy, the food there, delicious and varied. All in all, what we received for our customized tour, is what we got !
Last but not least, we took the option to do a hot air balloon tour on our first day in Masai Mara - this is a must do in our opinion !

Amazing
5/5

As my first time in Africa, I was a little concerned about all the logistic that involves a safari trip. We decided to go with Apodiformes because we saw good reviews about them and we weren’t dissapointed at all. On the contrary, we were very pleased with all the service. They take care of all the details to make it easier for us, so the only thing we should be worry about is to enjoy the trip. It was an amazing experience, everything went perfect, specially with our guide John. He was always on time and making sure that we are having a good time. Thanks to him, we had the best experience ever. It was even better than we imagined.

We saw and enjoyed more than we could imagine beforehand
5/5

We (4 older Dutch people) searched the internet carefully for an organization that we could confidently estimate would make us a good offer for a 13-day safari in Kenya and Tanzania: (Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro crater, Lake Manyara, Tarangire, Amboseli and Tsavo West). We have had previous contact with three.
Silas from Apodiformes Adventures made us an attractive and relatively affordable offer. It could also be adjusted to our wishes. Communication via WhatsApp was extremely fast. Silas arranges and decides immediately. There was only some discussion about payment, but we also resolved that. We saw much more than we could have imagined beforehand. Many times the big 5 and beautiful other animals and birds in very different landscapes. The guides/drivers were very knowledgeable and correct. Nelson became our favorite, what a passion that man has. The spacious jeeps were good, a bit old in Tanzania, but good enough.
We thought the lodges we stayed in were fantastic.
In short, we enjoyed it immensely.

The tour arrangement is reasonable and definitely great. The consultant,Fredrick is very professional and and make a suitable tour itinerary for us. The communication was very effective. Even though we were taking the safari , Fredrick gave us calls everyday and asked our feedback. Also, the tour driver Tom is very experienced. The tour is beyond our expectations exactly.
