Outstanding customer service and professional and knowledgeable guides and drivers.
John who took care of our booking answered every possible question swiftly and accurately. He and his team delivered a well thought out bespoke itinerary nd handpicked our driver Kim who was phenomenal. Family holiday of a lifetime successfully delivered and we had a final day check in with owner Mr. Humphries made us feel that the whole service from beginning to end was professionally run with pride taken in all aspects. Brand new vehicle top spec when we compared to other 4wd we saw. Would not go with another company. Huge thanks to Kim for being top notch and delivered everything with genuine smile and care.

2019 Kenya and Tanzania safari a dream trip with NWKS, the best company and staff
I received a recommendation from a friend in Mexico who used this tour operator, which meant a lot for us, so we have the guarantee that it was going to be a trustable company and high-quality service. So, from the very beginning of our planning, all the communications were great, on time, very informative, accurate, prompt and kind. John was mi contact and I have only words to thank him for making of our safari an amazing experience for our family. He always was able and kind to answer all my doubts, made all changes I required in order to personalize our tour. We chose deluxe accommodations for Safari in Kenya and Tanzania; our selection was 8 days plus one day in Nairobi with a city tour.
We were received at the airport from the staff of NWKS with a warm welcome and were drove to our hotel in Nairobi to spent the night. Next day morning we went to Tanzania border to make change of vehicles and guides.
Thomas was so wonderful and it was an amazing coincidence that he attended my friend last year, so in some way we were connected.
It is important to mention that you have a different driver-guide and vehicle in Kenya and Tanzania, but the change is made in a smoothly, kind and quickly way. Thomas stayed with us until we finished the migration process and introduced us to Immanuel our driver-guide for Tanzania.
Tanzania was our first contact with African Safaris and definitely it was amazing. Immanuel our guide-driver was kind, helpful, with great knowledge of the parks, reserves and places. He always took well care of all our family. Every day he was on time, keep the truck clean, arranged the picnic meals and he assured that everything was ok during the check in and check out of each hotel.
During the game drives he was always very informative and always looking to find not only the big five, but many other amazing animals, with important information.
He became part of our crew during those days, always with a big smile.
We had amazing experiences, views, animal facts, land scapings and memories in Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro.
We had the opportunity to observe part of the beginning of the migration of wildebeests and zebras.
We would've skipped the visit to Lake Victoria and the fisher village, as well as the hotel stay, but it was part of the safari and we didn't have an idea how it was going to be.
Our favorite lodge in Tanzania was Lake Manyara Kilimamoja Lodge, it is an astonishing property, full of beautiful details in decoration and service, I have no words to describe our short but amazing stay.
Once the safari ended in Tanzania, we reached the border with Kenya, where we were received by Thomas our second guide-driver, but Immanuel stayed with us until we finished migration process and made the change of vehicle.
It was the moment of the goodbye for Immanuel, we felt little sad, as he had been part of pour family during those days. We always remember our talks, our laughs and the Swahili words we learned from him. Jambo, Asante Sana , Karibu, Hakuna Matata, Rafiki, Kwaheri, and some others will have a special meaning in our life.
Then we started our Safari in Kenya in Masai Mara. Thomas, as well as Immanuel was very kind, friendly, with a vast knowledge of animals, habits, etc. that he shared with us in every game drive.
He promised that we would see also the Big Five and many more and so we did.
Every day he puts his best efforts to find the animals and we had the opportunity to observe amazing spectacles of the nature.
As well as in Tanzania Thomas made sure that everything was ok during check in and check out process, handled the picnic meals, stayed on time with the clean truck nad had great energy during all game drives.
Masai Mara was also an amazing adventure, we enjoyed beautiful sunrises and sunsets and awesome views of wild animals.
Our stay in Melia Serengeti was a memorable one and we really enjoy our days over there.
Finally, Thomas took us back to Nairobi to rest and have our city tour next day.
I want to mention two important facts during our Safaris. In both Tanzania and Kenya, during our game drives we found a vehicle with tourists in problem, and both Immanuel and Thomas assisted them until the problem was resolved.
It proofs the quality of the guides, they not only take care of their own passengers, but of their colleagues in case of emergency. And both of them were able to fix the problem, not the other guides even when others stopped by.
Our last day in Nairobi we took the city tour visiting the Elephant Orphanage, the Giraffe Centre and the Karen Blixen Museum. We loved all activities and James was very helpful and kind also during all day.
They dropped us at the airport for our night flight.
Kenya and Tanzania were an important trip in our life, full of so many important and exciting memories that I cannot describe all of them. We had valued experiences not only regarding wild life, but gastronomic, lodging, culture, history and people in Kenya and Tanzania.
Our memorable moments: Lake Manyara since it was our first contact with wild animals, Ngorongoro crater, the Big Five, Leopard in a three, 5 cheetahs crossing the road in front of us, seeing part of the big migration, watching a couple of lionesses devouring a wildebeest and then the appearance of the lion, found among hundreds of zebras an albino zebra, lions resting in the rocks, watching male giraffes necking , oh, there are so many.
Other important facts that we observed during our safaris were that parks and reserves are clean, no residues in picnic areas nor roads, they respect the plastic ban.
We are truly thankful with NWKS for helping us to have a successful dream trip, they exceeded our expectations. I would not hesitate in recommend them.

perfect planning to enjoy Masai Mara efficiently in two days
Good service - they also gave us Masai blanket to prevent cold during safari tour
Skilled guide - He has good skill to find lots of animals. We could see most of Big5 except Rhino(rhino is hardly seen there) and cheeters hanting gazers. And also he has very good driving skills on dirt/rough roads.
Good selection of accomodation - they chose nice lodge which has very clean rooms and serves good foods.
Perfect time schedule - We immensely enjoyed safari tour and Masai village in 2 days and could get back to Nairobi before 17:00.

More personalized, more affordable than the big safari tour companies (Gamewatchers, Expert Africa)
Natural Tour Kenya Safaris provided me with an experience of a lifetime. For 9 days, I had a private guide/driver for 3 different reserves in Kenya. My guide was extremely knowledgeable, tracking wildlife and providing background information. Because I had a private driver, my schedule revolved around my availability, rather than the set times for day and afternoon game drives given by the camps. Also, I traveled solo to Kenya, so the private guide/driver provided me with an extra sense of security.
Because this was my second safari to Kenya, I knew the itinerary I wanted to have. I contacted 3 different safari companies, stating the camps/reserves I wanted to visit. The well-known safari companies, quoted me $6000 more than Natural World Kenya Safaris! Natural World is Kenyan owned, so they are able to keep costs down, cutting out the middle man of travel agents, but keeping the revenue local. My only disappointment with the agency was that I wanted a more detailed itinerary months in advance. However, with the last minute changes in flight times for airstrip transfers, I can understand why I received the itinerary a few days in advance of my arrival.
I highly recommend Natural World Kenya Safaris- you won't be disappointed.

Amazing tour with an amazing company!
Natural World Kenya Safaris did an excellent job of making arrangements for a friend and myself to go on a 3-day trip to Masai Mara. Communication with Pauline was detailed and prompt and she answered all of my questions. Our driver was right on time, giving us a call just before arriving. We had an amazing safari with a very professional and knowledgable driver. Our accomodation was the "economy" choice of the Enkorok campsite. Economy is not the word that I would use, but rather luxury tenting; it was fantastic. The tents were spacious, clean, and the food was excellent, especially the soups! Our driver was able to find an incredible number of animals and coordinated with other drivers to find the more rare ones like a leopard! I have been on safaris with other companies, but so far Natural World Kenya is the best one without a doubt.

Fantastic experience
We took this trip for my daughter's 21st, with three generations of the family. The whole trip was wonderful, right from the first experience of making the booking with Patricia. Fred, our driver, was brilliant, very friendly and knowledgeable, even arranging a surprise birthday cake, and helpful with our older family members who were slower. Accommodation was all arranged for us, staff were brilliant, particularly at the Osero lodge. I highly recommend this company.

Magical!!!
Sammy was our guide and he was amazing! Stayed at Ilekelani camp and it was like a hotel room. Food was excellent. Could not have been better. Perfect time of the year to go. 75f degrees and no mosquitos. The migration had started so the land was full of animals. Only stayed one night but saw almost everything more than once. You must go!!!!!!
