Outstanding!! Out of this world!
We had visited South Africa a few years back and while it was nice, nothing can compare with this trip. Our tour guide, Saruni, was awesome. He knew where to look, the names of the animals, the sounds that they make. He was extremely professional, funny and we had a great time together. Accommodations were very good. Everyone was pleasant, He made the trip a perfect one. accommodating and extremely nice. We will go back. I give Gamewatchers a 10. We particularly love Porini Rhino Camp with David being a tremendous host. The food was a surprise and it was delicious. The Trive Hotel and the ark were superb. Actually we loved every resort where we stayed. Booking and planning this trip was made easy with the help of both Wayne and Brad. We visited a tribe and that was an amazing experience too

Perfect safari
We went on a Gamewatchers Safari to the OI Kinyei Conservancy, Mara in September. It was our first safari and first visit to Kenya. I cannot say enough good things about our experience with Gamewatchers (Porini Camps). Everything was ABSOLUTELY PERFECT! There was not one detail of our stay that Gamewatchers had not thought through, making it such a wonderful experience. Here I will just point out a couple of things that made the stay so perfect. Our Maasai guides, Jackson and Joshua, went out of their way to show us wildlife on each of our safaris, ensure we were comfortable, well taken care of and prepared for our safaris each day. Even on our last morning, unplanned, they rushed to our tent and urged us to move quickly to come and see something really special. We ran to the jeep, jumped in and they drove us to see a pride of lions eating a newly killed wildebeest. It was incredible to be just a few metres away from lions growling and devouring their kill. Also, I cannot state this strongly enough, Jackson and Joshua were wonderful engaging with our 16 year old son. They included him in our conversations, talked with him, and got him interested in everything we were experiencing. We stayed in a tent at the Ol Kinyei Conservancy and everything was beautiful. The staff think of every little detail to make your stay perfect, from the glass bottled water in the bathrooms, to hot water bottles under your bed covers at night, to the gorgeous decor and design within the tent, etc. The food was perfect and we loved sitting outside having our afternoon lunch watching gazelles and other animals grazing right near to us. After this safari, we did a budget safari with another company. The experiences between the two companies were like night and day. If you can afford it, do go with Gamewatchers, knowing that the money you pay will provide you with an unforgettably wonderful experience, but also support conservation efforts in Kenya, as well as support local Maasai communities.

Superb customer service, reliable, and knowledgable.
Game Watchers was our in-country travel coordinator and our entire trip went flawlessly! From pick up to the airport, to recommendations on where to shop, to getting us to our in-country flights on time and much more. Anything we could have needed in-country they were there for. And everyone we needed to contact was on whatsapp and responded to questions quickly. Our Nairobi driver, Paul, was so kind and knowledgable. Was able to get us to the elephant orphanage and giraffe sanctuary at a time were crowds were minimal. Took us to multiple shopping centers that were all unique and different and most importantly--got us everywhere we needed to be safely. All of our guides on Safari were coordinated by GameWatchers and they were so knowledgable! We had the best African Safari experience in Kenya and would recommend GameWatchers to anyone who wants a hassle free vacation of a lifetime.
