A pleasant adventure in the wild with balloon flight
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.

It was experience of life and unforgettable adventure i had in this tour
I was promised from apodiformes adventures that this will be my life time unforgettable adventure and experience of life and literally it was as they said. Everything was prepared well from transportations, camp, safari, food and balloon. Everything was professionally prepared and when they give me a time they are sharp with the timing and the driver was professional as well.
I had fun and enjoyed my trip and mr silas arranged for me literally everything from A to Z

Amazing
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.

Thrilling
They had a fantastic way of communicating. Silas assisted with confirming my booking when I had difficulty making payments. He was exceptional. Even when my flight delayed, he waited patiently.

Great price-value, nice and competent guide and all-in-all super experience!
the organization was good, picked up in a different town and our guide (Maxwell) really went above and beyond in order to make us have a great experience, lots of wildlife, amazing landscapes and happy to adjust to our wishes! Would definitely recommend, we found 1.5 days of safari sufficient and got to see everything we wanted. Given the price, expect budget accommodation etc., which was fine for us!

They are the one who you need. Communication, hospitality was excellent!!
We went to the 6 days Kenya group tour (Masai Mara, Nakuru and Amboseli).
Both the communication before the tour between SILAS and the safari experience led by our driver STANLEY was amazing.
If you are looking for a budget tour, they are the one who you should choose. Price is good, the safari experience is amazing and the staff are professional.
SILAS who seems to be the representative of the company responded our inquiries really quickly via WhatsApp. If you send him a message in a Nairobi working hours, you will most likely get a reply in a few minutes. His company is young, but he seems to have adequate experience in this industry. He picked up us at Nairobi Airport and sent us to our hotel on the first day. He sent us a driver the next morning, and the driver took us to a meeting point where we met our driver and our fellow travellers. SILAS was there too. We met him again on the last day of the visit when he took us to the airport.
STANLEY, who was our driver was a real professional. He woke up very early every day to inspect the safari environment, communicate with other guides and get information and to clean the van. It seemed that he was really wanting us to satisfy. He used radio as other guides and guides cooperate to find big animals, like lions and cheetas. We could see all of the BIG FIVES. We could also see two cheetahs eating an antelope which was really amazing. He was knowledgeable about the animals and explained to us how to distinguish them. He has good eyes and could find the animals from far where we could barely see even when we were told it was there.
Suggestion for the budget tour.
- Accommodations were okay. But don't expect a clean place like a hotel. It is a tent with a bed where you sleep and a hot shower is not that hot. Bugs may come in. It may black-out at midnight. I enjoyed it.
- On a budget tour, we will move by a van (e.g. Nissan URVAN). Sometimes more than 7 hours. Seats were okay but not comfortable like sedan cars. If you don't want to do this, you need to fly with a Cessna from Wilson Airport to the Park.
- Food was okay. But not what you expect in your country.
- Flying into the clean hotels/lodges near the Park may triple the price.
- You can't choose who you will be with on a group tour. We were really lucky to have great people with us. We talked over a beer every day after dinner.
- No place to wash your clothes. I washed my clothes on the first day but it didn't dry.
- I bought a Safaricom SIM card at the airport. We got an internet connection at the campsite with this SIM. No WiFi at the campsite.
- Don't forget to tip the driver.
Bring:
- Portable charger for the phone
- Fleece or a windbreaker. It is quite cold, especially in the rainy seasons.
- Flip flops. Something you can wear at the accommodations.
- If you want to take a close photo, lense no less than 200mm. Sometimes 300mm is not even enough.
- Shampoo and body shower. There is none in the accommodations.
- A compact hairdryer. It is quite cold in the evenings and you might want to dry your hair. You also might want to dry your shoes, especially in the rainy seasons.
- Tissues and wet wipes.
- Binoculars (at least 10*30)
- If you have enough space, I would bring an extra pair of shoes.
All in all, the safari experience provided by Apodiformes Adventure, SILAS and STANLEY was really amazing. I will recommend them to my friends.

We had fun! Great tour.
Kenya safari was at the top priority of my bucket lists. I went to Masai Mara, Nakuru and Amboseli with my husband. Mt. Kilimanjaro was beautiful.
I will recommend Silas and driver Stanley.

Amazing 3-day safari tour
The 3-day safari tour we did with Apodiformes was amazing !
Unforgettable experience, we had the chance to see a lot of animals and to visit a Masai Mara Village.
They picked us up at the airport and took care of everything until the end, the organisation was perfect.
Highly recommended !!

BEST experience!
We had the most incredible experience with Apodiformes Adventures! With a group of 5, it is hard to keep everyone happy, but Silas and Eric did! They accommodated us in every way and planned the perfect trip for all of us! The safari far exceeded my expectations. The driver(Eric) were so kind and knowledgable. The accommodations and food was good. They are also arranged a extra free boat tour in Lake Naivasha. Thanks.
