Ken was extremely attentive to our needs. Best driver and guide!
5/5

We booked 2 nights in Lake Naivasha and 3 nights in Masai Mara. Luxury version.
The tour was fully tailored as per our needs and expectations. Xavier prepared great plan for us with the greatest driver and guide we could imagine -Ken.
Ken was unbelievably attentive and as he was repeating from time to time : he was there for us to make us happy. In which he succeeded fully. We felt very well taken care of. We experienced great dose of gratefulness for the beauty of the planet.
Ken and Xavier -thank you for that!

Fantastic Safari!
5/5

The safari was one of a kind thanks to Safari Update Travels. I was skeptical at first when booking a safari because it was my first time but Linsel who assisted me plan the whole itinerary gave me the benefit of doubt. It was one of my best safaris. Our guide Simon was very professional and knowledgeable. We saw lots of animals - elephants, giraffes, antelopes, zebras, buffalos, pride of lions and cheetah. Simon gave us a lot of information about the wildlife and also answered all our questions. The lunch spot was a picnic with great views of the Mara, the menu had a variety of vegetarian options to choose from. We enjoyed the entire safari and would do it again any time! Thank you so much Safari Update Travels for this experience!

Nature at it's best in 3 days!
5/5

Our tour to Amboseli national park with Safari Update Travels was a real treat.
They took care of us from the moment we arrived to the airport in Nairobi till the moment we finished the tour. Silas was very instrumental in making our safari a success. The trip to Amboseli park took a lot of time because of heavy traffic but our tour guide was really good and we didn’t experience this as a problem.
We decided to stay in Ol-Tukai Lodge during our safari and that was a good choice because we were located in the middle of the national park. This allowed us to enjoy park wildlife every minute. We could observe a heard of elephant even during our lunch from the table.
Food in the lodge was unforgettable with so many choices and beautiful tastes which we enjoyed. Staff in the Lodge received us warmly and they took good care of us.
During the safari we were able to see a large number of different animals.
We will never forget this trip. Safari Update Travels are the best!

Enjoyable safari!
5/5

We did the 3 days and 2 nights luxury safari for our honeymoon courtesy of Safari Update Travels. We really enjoyed every bit of it. From where we were staying in Nairobi it took us approximately five hours to get to our safari destination. We stopped for a break after 2 hours at an art gallery.
Once we got to the Mara we were amazed with the animals we saw. Our tour guide was friendly and welcoming.
The hotel we stayed for the whole period was way beyond our expectations, the food was top notch not forgetting the entire staff who attended to us. Linsel who works with Safari Updates was kind enough to make a special arrangement for us the newly wedded couples which we honestly didn't expect as it was a surprise. This being our first ever safari we really enjoyed. Thank you Safari Update Travels for making our safari one of a kind.

Excellent service Quick response
5/5

Silas put together a wonderful 4 day 3 night luxury package at Sarova Mara camp in the Maasai Mara. It was the trip of a lifetime! Silas was very responsive via email and what’s app. His bid for our luxury air package was very competitive and was an excellent value. He met us at our lodgings and personally escorted us to the flight out of Wilson airport and he was there to pick us up on the return journey and drop us at our accommodations. I cannot say enough good things about his friendly and efficient service! He’s the best!

The best First Safari Experience
5/5

Safari Update Travels was an excellent choice, I communicate with Silas who answered all my questions and helped me to rebook after my bus got delay on the way to Nairobi to join my group.
He came over to look for me at the bus station and offered to join the next group the following day.

This was my first Safari and I was a bit worried about going by myself but the experience was amazing.
Our tour guide John was great! I think he is the best driver in the whole Masai Mara. He knew where the action was so we were able to see animals very close.
I booked the budget Safari and the service, the accommodation, the food, everything has great! However, I do wish I paid the extra bucks for the mid-Lux accommodation. It was totally worth it.

Safari Update Travels are the best!
We highly enjoyed our 3 days and 2 nights luxury Safari. We weren’t into camping so we went with the option to stay at Sarova Mara Game Camp. The tour was well organized and accommodation was top notch. Our safari was in a heavy duty Jeep-like vehicle with a pop up top. It was much better compared to other vehicles we saw in the park. It came with free WiFi and electrical outlets for charging, which was greatly appreciated. The evening safari drive was one of the best highlights of the trip. The sunset was one to remember. The team at Safari Update Travels Helped us with every special request and they delivered excellently exceeding our expectations. We will definitely plan to book our next tour with them.. It was very easy to communicate with them and they responded quickly to all my questions. Special thanks to Linsel for making the safari a success. Thank you Safari Update Travels!! You are the best!

Breath Taking Experience
5/5

The ideal trip to Kenya is to make this a part of your itinerary. The experience was one of the most amazing I've been on in a while. Thanks to Silas who responded swiftly to our emails and helped us make our booking. Simon our safari guide was helpful and very knowledgeable throughout the journey. He knew the exact spots where to get the animals, he was very resourceful and made the whole safari worth it. From the animals to the views especially of Mt. Kilimanjaro was breathtaking. I highly recommend travelers who need to get excellent safari experience to book with Safari Update Travels.

We went on a 3 day 2 night safari to Amboseli Park after booking with Safari Update Travels. It was a great experience. The staff were very friendly, the lodges were excellent and the safari was worth every penny. Thanks Safari updates.
