Perfect safari with best rates
5/5

It was our first time visiting Africa and Kenya to be specific. We opted for Safari Update Travels because of the great reviews and experience in the tourism industry. We communicated via email with Silas who helped us come up with the perfect itinerary for our 5 day safari. I was very confident from our conversation that he'll deliver the perfect safari and it did not come as a surprise when he did. When we arrived at the airport Silas was on time and present to pick us up. We immediately embarked on our safari to the Mara. Upon arriving we were taken to Sopa Lodge where we would spend our night. George our guide was the best thing we could ask for. We went for the afternoon game drive where we spotted several animals including a pride of lions and zebras. We went back to our hotel to have dinner. The food there was amazing prepared by the best chefs. The staff at the hotel were also very warm and kind making sure we were having a good time. During the safari George explained everything to us in details and located the animals before anyone else, he is an expert in knowing where to look. He has been a guide for the past two decades and is well known around the park. The cruiser we used was perfect, very comfortable and spacious. The camp we stayed in was incredible. It is in a serene environment surrounded by plenty of nature. The beds are clean and comfortable, with utmost level of hygiene. In short, we had the best safari thanks to Safari Update Travels with the best rates. The very best in the game.

Beautiful 3 day Masai Mara experience
5/5

We had a really great experience in Masai Mara. We really enjoyed the game drives and Peter was an excellent driver and guide. Thanks to him, we got to see even a black rhino which are very rare to see. He was very friendly and he has a lot of knowledge so he was able to answer all the questions that we had. And regarding the accomodation, it was amazing. Very clean and the people there were really friendly and helpful. If I came back to Kenia (probably I will) I would like to repeat the Safari with Silas (and with the driver Peter if possible). Thanks a lot for such an enriching and wonderful experience!

100% Perfect!
5/5

From the start (first contact) until the last moment it was perfect. Silas did even more than expected. I’m a single traveler and have been on many safari’s in Kenya and this one was more than expected. I told him what i was looking for and he was great in thinking together with me to achieve all my goals. Peter(Sumare) the driver was the best driver and already knew what i was looking for and it was a adventure to go on safari with him. Great compliment to the whole team! So for next time I don’t have to look al over the internet again cause I’ll go straight to SafatiUpdateTravels !

Wonderful safari to Masai Mara!
5/5

This safari was one to remember. I made arrangements to visit Masai Mara during my vacation and Safari Update Travels made it possible. I arrived in the Mara in the afternoon hours and then set out straight for the afternoon drive. It was quite refreshing. The camp I stayed at was very accomodating and cosy, to top it up it had bonfires to keep us warm in the cold nights, great food and hot water. I also visited the local Masai village which was nearby so I was able to interact with many members of the community. The best part of the trip by far was our tour guide John. Besides being witty and having a deep sense of humour John is one of the kindest people I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. He went beyond his means to take care of us, and make our trip memorable. Will definitely be back for another tour with Safari Update Travels in the future.

The best of Amboseli!!
5/5

We booked our safari with Safari Update Travels and we had no regrets whatsoever because everything went according to our expectations. Our driver John did an excellent job guiding us through the whole safari. The entire safari was very tiresome but quite satisfying. John provided a lot of detailed information about the animals and was more than willing to answer our questions. Unfortunately, the days were cloudy so we were not able to see Mt. Kilimanjaro, but we were fortunate enough to see several animals, thanks to John. It was an excellent 3 days trip to Amboseli.

Every detail was clearly communicated, like the itinerary, all the activities planned for were carried out.
The important items needed for the trip were also communicated to us.
We received clarification on anything that was not clear.
The trip was amazing, from the company services to all the activities we engaged in.
Thank you for the experience Xavier, Safari Update Travels.

The best safari planner
5/5

We chose Safari Update Travels for a private luxury safari reason being we wanted to get the best, a friend who previously travelled with them also recommended the company which already had great reviews. The safari was perfectly curated thanks to Linsel who went out of his way to make sure we had the best experience 'the best safari planner'. Our guide's name was David, he really knows how to get the safari going because he made sure we had a great trip. We took the flight option and landed at the Masai Mara airstrip. We slept at the Sarova Mara and I can say the reception there is satisfying. They have the best meals prepared by professional chefs. The staff there always check up on you to ensure you are comfortable.
We had an awesome time during our game drives as well as at the camp. We saw most of the big 5 animals including a pride of lions, rhinoceros, buffalos, elephants, zebras and a lot of birds.. To top it up we had the opportunity to visit a Masai village where we got to learn about Masai culture.
I highly recommend booking with Safari Update Travels to get this wonderful experience.
