Nice company!
Everything was excelent. We contract everything from Spain via mail with Faith, and it was very easy and clear.
During the hollydays we were travelling with our guide Thomas, he speaks Spanish very well, pick up us at the airport and he was very friendly with us.
We will recommed Natural World Kenya Safaris to everybody!
thanks Alvaro
Very responsive during booking and very professional during the safari.
Our 8 day safari with Abu was fantastic. We cannot rave enough about our guide, Abu, who was skilled and professional. The administrative team was clear and responsive.

Great safari experience with Reputable and Trusted company
I did the 2 day Tsavo East safari with a colleague. We were picked up near Watamu and started our safari with our driver and tour guide Abdul. Abdul was a great guide and driver! Absolutely recommend. Very friendly and knowledgeable about the park. He also arrived even earlier than the time expected and was extremely professional. The entire experience was great - from contacting the company to finishing our safari, and everything in between. Kennedy reached out with a detailed itinerary, was extremely responsive in communicating, and was very helpful and clear when giving all the information to us. Very easy process and no hiccups along the way. We stayed at the Voi Wildlife Lodge which was very nice and had a pool. The food there was also delicious. On the way back on Day 2 we stopped at a nice place for lunch where we had a full meal and the staff was wonderful. Every accommodation place we ate at our stayed was fantastic.
One of my favorite things about this tour is that all costs were included and there was no surprise extra fees. The one thing you did have to add (besides tipping your tour guide/driver) was drink fees at meals, which was trivial. This is also clearly stated in what is included/not included. If you want to buy souvenirs there is a good shop before entering at the Sala Gate that our driver took us to. The workers there are very nice and have a lot of good items; I only wish I had brought more cash. They do take card which is helpful - however if you would like to help out the locals they appreciate cash more than card.
We were lucky Abdul had a set of binoculars, these are definitely necessary. I also wish I had a big fancy camera to take some nice photos of the animals, so recommended. We went the first weekend of March and it was hot - we had to wear shorts and tanks. Even at night it was pretty hot; I packed a couple of layers expecting it to be colder at night. This was not needed. One light layer was fine for going to dinner at night and in the car for the morning safari. There was also not a lot of mosquitoes because of the wind which was very nice. This was a good time to go weather wise, but for safari views there was a lot of greenery - there was definitely animals that I'm sure we easily missed because they were blocked by the bush. Something to keep in mind if you have a flexible travel schedule.
Overall - fantastic and reputable company, easy to book and communicate with. If you are looking for a great 2-day safari in Tsavo East, look no further than here.

Natural World Kenya Safaris thanks you for giving us a chance to materialise your Nairobi City excursion to Giraffe Centre (home of endangered Rothschild’s Giraffes) & David Sheldrick elephant sanctuary (a place to delight in the most adorable creatures feeding from giant baby bottles). As well as your 7 days (6 nights) safari to Amboseli, Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru & Maasai Mara.
We appreciate both Henry & Clinton, your tour managers from our Nairobi Office, who did a great job in ensuring smooth communication during the planning process. We cannot forget your tour drivers Abubakar who guided you perfectly throughout your 7 days safari, and Bob who took you to experience your half day tour.
Asante Constanze & Christine from Singapore.

Tour of Masai Mara reserve exceeded our expectations.
Communications were good throughout. Transport arrived at our hotel as scheduled. We joined 2 others making a group of 4 which was perfect for our van leaving a little bit of rattle room - these vans are amazingly robust and can glide over most terrain. The guide, James, was very good throughout and all arrangements and timings worked out well. Our hotel at the Masai Mara (comfort level) was excellent. The safari was first class and exceeded our expectations. Our driver got us to the right place at the right time and nothing was too much trouble. We saw just about everything the Masai Mara has to offer - there seemed to be a special on fresh zebra and wildebeest because we saw numerous groups of cheetas and lions gorging themselves over the 2 days were were in the reserve. We also spotted a leopard sleeping in a tree! Overall an excellent tour and we have superb photographs to remind us of our safari

Wow, beyond my wildest expectations!
Attached this 2 day wildlife tour onto a work trip so my time was very limited and I admit my expectations were not the highest but my experience just blew me away! My guide Douglous was fantastic. We saw zebras, elephants, giraffes and wildebeests galore! Douglous even managed to get us to the river to see the wildebeest migration! In the short time I had in the Mara, Douglous, with his superb vision, was able to spot lions, cheetahs and a leopard up in a tree and to point them out so I could find them which was often difficult. Even with me looking through the binoculars I would never have found these amazing creatures for myself. We even had elephants with young calves cross right in front of our vehicle. One calf was so small Douglous estimated its age at under a month old. Sometimes I was so spellbound I forgot to take photos but I will have these incredible memories for the rest of my life.
I spent the night at Enkorok Mara Camp sleeping in a large tent the size of a cabin with 3 double beds, large shower and bathroom facilities and a large dining tent where everyone gathered for meals. Each tent was set a nice distance from the others offering privacy and a luxuriously "rustic" Africian ambiance to the experience. It was the perfect blend for a city dweller like myself who is not an much of an outdoors person.
A week after my return home I had occasion to speak with a gentlemen from Kenya. He asked politely about my visit to Kenya. I mentioned I had briefly visited the Massi Mara. This seemed to interest him so I pulled out my cell phone to show him some photos. He became more and more interested but almost fell off his chair when he saw how close the elephant calf got to our vehicle. He was shocked that the mother had not attacked us. That's when it really began to sink in, as excited as I was about my visit to the Mara, I experienced an even deeper appreciation for how very special my trip had indeed been thanks to Douglous and Nature World Kenya Safaris. Can't thank them enough for a wonderful experience.

Totally exceeded our expectations!!
Wow, what a safai in the Masai Mara. Ester was excellent in her communications and booking of the safari. Francis, our driver and guide, was amazing with his knowledge, places to go and see the wild animals. We managed to see the migratoin hapening, saw elephants, giraffes, lions (sleeping & resting), cheetahs eating a kill, hyena eating a kill and many more. Francis was very accomodating, knew the Masai like the back of his hand and extremely knowledgeable, so much so that other drivers in their cars were asking him for advice and where to go.
Highly recommended and will use Natural World Kenya Safaris again on my next visit.

Amazing
We booked a safari in another company and the guy just didn’t show up to pick us up for the safari.
So we had to find another safari in a hurry. We met Patricia at natural world office on a Saturday and she was amazing. She arranged a 2 night safari for us to start on Tuesday. She was so nice with us explaining everything and waiting us to decide. She got us a Jeep and a amazing camp at enkorok.
On Tuesday we met Mr. Francis, our guide. He was amazing taking us all around massai Mara and giving us a lot of explanations about the wildlife. He did his best so we could see all the animals. He took us to the river to try to see migration and to the Tanzania border. He was very patient to wait for us to take all the pictures we needed.
Natural world tours is an amazing company and we are very grateful for Patricia and Mr Francis that made our Safari happen in a wonderful way.
