Perfect group safari for first time travellers
5/5

We travelled as a group of 5 friends and went on a 3 day safari with Safari Update Travels to Amboseli. This trip was great. Everything was arranged to perfection. Our guide Steve was amazing. Steve was a great guide and helped us with loading our luggage and spotted us when we were low on cash. Everything including the food and lodging was excellent and reasonably priced. I was actually surprised with how well organized Safari Updates were. Always remember to carry enough cash so as to avoid any credit card fees. We ended paying up $30 extra to use credit card as I was not carrying enough cash. The entire safari was perfect!

Safari Updates is the best tour company
5/5

We contacted safari update via email to get a quote for three days to the Mara. We received a prompt response, Linsel really helped us with the planning. Victor was our guide and he did a great job. Everything was amazing. He knew all the spots to find the animals and made sure we had fun on the trip. Safari Updates are very organized. My family enjoyed the safari.

Great Service During My Safari in Kenya
5/5

Relying on the insightful reviews I found online, I made my safari reservation with Safari Update Travels. Sam was a fortunate tour guide for me. Sam did what many consider to be impossible—he helped us identify the majority of the Big 5, which was a huge achievement. At one point, as we were almost ready to leave the park, Sam turned around and started racing us to see the rhino in time. He informed us that seeing a rhino is not common, therefore he didn't want us to miss the opportunity. We were glad to spot the rhino thanks to Sam.
Our trip included teenagers, which is more significant. Sam was incredibly helpful, kind, and patient. My children would never have been able to get in and out of that safari truck. My kids are usually all over the place and it's hard to take charge of them. Sam handled them in the best way possible. This is crucial if you have children and require a guide with more patience, or if you have someone who needs extra help. I fully recommend Sam and Safari Update Travels to all my friends and family.

3 incredible days in Masai Mara
5/5

Steve from Safari Update Travels took us on three incredible days of safari in Masai Mara.
My sister and I were traveling to Kenya on safari, so naturally, we were seeking for a trustworthy guide. Steve, our driver and guide, was outstanding. He was kind, patiently answered all of our somewhat odd questions, and drove extremely carefully on Kenya's jam-packed roads. However, I would especially want to draw attention to the fact that he made an effort to locate the finest viewing spots for us during the safari, kept in contact with other drivers, and drove us there fast. After spending two days on the safari, we saw almost every species that could be encountered. Best regards to Safari Update Travels team and thanks again, Steve.

Outstanding value for money and an amazing holiday experience
5/5

We had a wonderful experience with Safari Update Travels right from the start of our email communication. Whenever we had an issue with the inquiry, the staff were very accommodating, answered all of our questions patiently and thoroughly. Peter, our tour guide, was a wealth of information and had extensive understanding of the animals. We stayed at Sarova Mara and the lodging was excellent. Everyone thinking about going on a safari in Kenya should definitely consider Safari Updates because they offered great value for the money.
