5/5

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.

The first impression was the consultant was so passionate that he replied to my emails very quick even on weekends.Also,Fredrick took every single requirement I told him when making the tailor-made itinerary.That was why I chose this company among all other agencies.During the safari,our guide Tom also did a wonderful job,giving us surprises consistently.I will no doubt refer them to my friends who'd like to travel here.

Apodiformes ahead of others
5/5

Great safari experience ever!!!
We booked an eight day Safari tour by Apodiformes. We were so lucky to have Sebastian as our guide during the whole trip I would definitely recommend and choose Sebastian again and recommend him to everyone who would come! It’s our biggest luck to have him by our side. We were amazed by his patience and superb driving skills. Thanks to his excellent performance and experience we collected the big 5 so quickly. He can drive the van with greatest skill that no one else can compare. You would not regret choosing him and we were happy and feel safe because he is trustworthy and we can rely on everyday. He had become our friend and we will miss him from now on. Apodiformes is the best

Silas arranged our safari over five national parks in Kenya to match our requirements and route.
5/5

This was a private safari, just my wife and I, taking in Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, Amboseli and Tsavo West over 12 days. All parks had different terrain/landscape and we saw the big five plus so much more! Comparing with safari in Kruger RSA we saw more different animals and in greater numbers in Kenya. Our driver / ranger (Nelson) was very knowledgeable and helpful but not intrusive and this made for an excellent safari overall. Camp accommodation, food and service were excellent, all staff were friendly and helpful.

Excellent Safari Operator
5/5

Best Safari experience ever!!
We booked a 5-day, 4 nights (2 nights in Masai Mara & 2 nights in Amboselly) Safari tour for through Apodiformes Adventure and had the best safari experience ever. Special thanks to Mr. Silas for making our arrangement in well advance and our tour guide/driver Mr. Micheal. We couldn’t have had a better guide than Micheal. He was very polite, patient and very knowledgeable about wildlife and the Kenyan/Masai culture. Thanks to his expertise we saw the big 5 within the first 4 days, plus two cheetahs and baby lions and baby elephants. All of them were very close as he knows how to drive the land cruiser in best way. We felt really safe and trusted. We will recommend Apodiformes Adventures 100% for all my friends in coming days. Thank you Mr. Silas.

11 Day Magical Kenya
5/5

We spent 11 days traveling to Kenya’s national parks. While planning our trip, Silas was great at communication. He responded to WhatsApp messages within a few minutes. Our driver and guide was Dickson. First day was in Samburu national park at the wonderful Samburu Sopa lodge. The place was beautiful. We saw a lioness stalking giraffes and a mama cheetah with 4 babies. Dickson was a great driver and had lots of patience. He was good at spotting animals even at a distance. We went to Lake Naivasha and Hells Gate. We went on a beautiful hike in Hells Gate and learned a lot about Masai culture from the local guide. Then on to Masai Mara. Masai Mara was unforgettable - saw so many animals. Saw one female leopard up close and then one male leopard stalking and hunting a topi. Dickson drove slowly and carefully and we were able to spot many animals. He also got tips from other drivers where the animals were. We also saw a male and female lion on honeymoon and mating. The vast expanse of plains was mind blowing. Next place was Lake Nakuru - many white rhinos and flamingos. Then Amboseli - saw families of elephants feeding and bathing. Next was Tsavo - maneaters lodge next to the river was amazing. There was an elephant walking through the lodge grounds and we heard him eating near our tent in the night. In Tsavo we watched families of elephants feeding and drinking water. Everything ran smoothly. The hotels and lodges were comfortable with delicious food, especially the Sopa lodges and Lake Nakuru Lodge. All was well organized. It was an amazing and unforgettable trip. Felt truly like we had come back home - there is an indescribable energy in the air. Kenya is working hard to preserve these wild places and really appreciate the people for taking care of the places. We are already planning to come back to Kenya with our two kids. Thank you for a wonderful experience!!

Greatest wildlife experience
5/5

Tks Silas
We had the greatest wildlife experience for our trip here in Kenya at the safaris. We were so thrilled to see the animals in its natural habitat. We’re lucky to witness the leopard and it’s kill up on the tree. We also saw the zebras leading a long trail of wildebeest for its migration. Just that we didn’t witness the crossing of the river but that didn’t spoil our excitement. Tks for arranging such an amazing holiday for us and the resorts we stayed at the safaris were great too.

Silas was always very quick to respond and helped customize our trip to get all we wanted!
5/5

Overall we certainly enjoyed our trip throughout Kenya and Tanzania with Apodiformes Adventures. Silas was always very responsive to our questions while leading up to the trip, and helped us customize the tour so that we were able to get the itinerary we were hoping for. We did an 11 day Safari starting in Nairobi, heading to Lake Nakuru and then down to Masai Mara. We then crossed the border over into Serengeti National Park, and to Ngorongoro Crater after that. From there we visited Tarangerie NP and finished back in Kenya at Amboseli NP before flying back out of Nairobi. We felt like this was a good way of seeing as much as possible within 11 days, but probably underestimated just how much driving on dirt roads would be involved. Be prepared for some long drives if you are trying to fit in the Kenya and Tanzania parks, the drives from Masai to Serengeti and Serengeti to Ngorongoro were the toughest due to poor road conditions. Still worth it overall though! Kevin was our guide while in Kenya, and he did a great job. His motto was “If you’re happy, I’m happy,” and he definitely strived to make sure we saw all the animals we wanted to. Benjamin was our guide in Tanzania, and he was an excellent guide as well. We appreciated how he always answered our questions with additional info and it was clear he was passionate about showing us a good time while on Safari with him. Apodiformes is not as big of company as others in Kenya/Tanzania and it maybe felt like the van and 4x4 we drove in were not as new/nice as others we saw, but we were able to see more while staying within our price range by booking with them, and overall would recommend them if you’re looking for a tour company for your trip!

A Wonderful Tour Experience in Kenya
5/5

Overall it was a very pleasant trip with Apodiformes Adventures in Kenya. They provided a professional service to me and the tour guide Leroy and Edward were experienced and super funny, I enjoyed and joked with them all day on my travels. They also consider me one of the most interesting Chinese tourists they have ever met.

East Africa is a magical place, I would definitely miss the people and scenery that happened here every minute.

Best trip of our lives
5/5

Best experience ever!!
We booked a 6-day Safari tour through Apodiformes Adventure and had the best experience thanks to our guide/driver Sebastian. We couldn’t have had a better guide: he was kind, patient and very knowledgeable about wildlife and the Kenyan/Masai culture. Thanks to his expertise we saw the big 5 within the first 3 days, plus two cheetahs and baby lions and baby elephants. All of them were very close as he knows how to drive his van the best. We felt really safe with him and trusted him immediately. We already miss Sebastian and were very sad to end this magnificent trip.
