Amazing African adventure with Real African Safaris in Kenya
As a group of five travellers one of whom was born in Nairobi and returning after 40 odd years we designed our trip around where we wanted to go and what we wanted to see in Kenya.
We started in Nairobi and over 11 days we travelled to Amboseli, the Rift Valley, Nakuru and Masai Mara. Our guide Silas was extremely informative and had an amazing ability to ensure we got to see the big five and much, much more wildlife including a very rare sighting of a Serval Cat. He was very obliging if we wanted to change our itinerary slightly along the way with later starts or if we wanted to skip one or two safaris as four of us are getting elderly.
Every morning and afternoon safari was different and it was a real thrill anticipating what we were going to see next.
We always felt safe with Silas' driving whether it was through hectic traffic in built up areas or 4WD on safari.
Silas waited at the airport with us until we boarded the plane in Masai Mara.
It was an unforgettable experience.

Real Safari’s delivered a trip of a lifetime
Our Australian travel agent who specialises in travel to Africa recommended Real Africa for our safari’s.
Our experience with Real Africa and our tour guide Silas began with a fantastic day tour in Nairobi. Our group of 5 were picked up from Nairobi and spent 8 days travelling to Amboseli, Lake Naivasha and the Massai Mara.
Silas shared that he has been a guide for 27 years and his experience showed. Importantly we always felt safe with Silas at the wheel whether it be navigating the busy city streets, on the highways with so many trucks that required constant passing or on the tracks.
We saw the big 5 and so much more thanks to Silas and his knowledge, patience and connections with other guides.
He took genuine care of us and especially connected well with our daughter who was born with Down syndrome for which this holiday was her dream.
Thanks Silas and team Real Africa.

Absolutely fantastic!
We were lucky to have Silas as our tour guide, visiting 3 National Parks in our 2 week stay in Kenya. Silas knew his stuff and we were able to see the Big Five! I would highly recommend Real Africa Safaris.

Wonderful Experience with Real Africa Safaris
My friend and I had an absolutely wonderful time on Safari with Real Africa Safaris! Silas was a knowledgeable and friendly guide throughout our trip who went above and beyond to make our experience special.
We travelled to Samburu National Reserve and the Ol Pejeta Conservancy and saw some phenomenal wildlife both from a distance and up close (elephants, lions, giraffes, rhinoceroses, gazelles, zebras, and so much more). Silas was an excellent driver and guide and ensured we could see and photograph the animals clearly.
Arrangements for transit and lodgings were seamless, and the lodge at Samburu was especially nice with a private balcony from which we could see giraffes and elephants in the distance.
Communication before the trip was also excellent as we had all questions answered comprehensively and in a timely fashion.
Overall, we had a wonderful experience and I recommend it without hesitation to anyone!

Amazing family friendly experience in Maasai Mara with toddler.
We used Real Africa Safaris Kenya for my wife’s birthday to do a safari in the Maasai Mara for 3 nights/ 4 days.
The communication was very clear, efficient and comprehensive. We knew exactly what our itinerary was (with flexibility to change as desired).
They even provided a car seat for our 2y old which was very considerate and which he absolutely loved, as went on game drives.
Our driver (Silas) was very knowledgeable of the different animals, and was frequently communicating with other guides to ensure we got to spot all the animals we wanted to see.
It was definitely an amazing experience, great value for money (vs booking directly with hotel) and would definitely book with them again going forward.

Excellent organisation, knowledgeable and friendly guides and great attention to details!
We had a unforgettable and magical safari/beach holiday with Real Africa Safari's. Patrick, Silus, Francis and George accompanied us and made a wonderful team with knowledge, patience and friendliness all the way of our 9 day trip. They went out of their way to accommodate us and share their knowledge on wildlife and local practices. The tour was perfectly balanced and planned. We couldn't have asked for a more comprehensive, balanced and fun holiday. Thank you all very much!

Amazing adventure
First of all we want to thank our guides Francis Karika and Patrick. Traveling around Kenya for just over a week with Francis in the safari beast was like traveling with a friend who knew his job well.
He provided us with great insights into the Kenyan animals behaviour and we saw most of them close up, including some mating. We also watched lions etc eating their prey.
The whole tour was well organised and we would recommend it to anybody.
The accommodations were good as was the viewing from the 4WD.

Incredible service , Sam and Tony are the best!
My wife and I just returned home from a 2 week Safari and had an awesome time! Sam and Tony were our groups drivers and really added that personal touch along with their expert driving skills and unlimited knowledge and smiles! We really couldn’t ask for more. They kept their land cruisers clean and really made the animal sightings with their extensive knowledge! Simply the best!
Thank you to everyone at Real Africa !

Wasted to much time due to bad planning, had up to 10 hours driving between destinations.
Pick up was good, staff who we meet helpful and vechicals OK. This is were it stops! The office staff were not overall helpful when we tried to amend the end of our trip which although annoying was not the worst. The loss of enjoyable holiday time was the worst part.
Prior to arriving in Kenya we received our Itinary that listed leaving after breakfast and arrival for drives or dinner time. also the list of travel. What it did not mention was the hours of driving every day needed to travel between the different location listed on the Itinary.
every game drive we had exciting as they are were distant memories as we then had to spend 6-8 hours driving to the next location. Longest drive 10.5 hours which upon arrivals at destination were told we had 30 mins before a game drive, which we saddly cancelled due to been sore and tied.
Accomodation at the sopa lodge is average and no power or hot water during the day. The restaurants ok.
Summing up save your money go elseware. We used African Safari company in Zimbabwe and Botswana they were brilliant.
