Sam is a professional; on time, knowledgeable and friendly.
5/5

Kiboko Travels took us to the Masai Mara NP. Booking with Kiboko was easy and Sam communicated through WhatsApp effectively, with great rates you cannot find with massive tourist companies who advertise under chains.
As for our safari, Sam was on time, waiting outside for us as we were running late. We made it to the NP during rainy season so he got us to our hotel even when a road leading to the park was washed away. Getting into the NP and through e-citizen with Sam’s guidance was a breeze.
Once in, we started on our first safari of the 3 days we were with him. We saw a plethora of animals just on the first game drive and were up bright and early, out of the hotel at 6am for the early morning and early afternoon drive. Sam picked up our hotel lunch for us that morning so we spread it under an acacia tree and snacked in the open mara.
Sam was very knowledgeable about the wildlife and the birds. If he spots something, he will back up and explain what we’re seeing. He answers all questions and listens to your feedback.
Overall, this is a great value travel safari company who values their clients. We will travel with Kiboko again.

Best tour operator in Kenya!
5/5

Sam is INCREDIBLE!! I cannot recommend him highly enough!! Driving with Sam was an amazing value for money, and we will definitely book him again on our next trip to Kenya!

1) Professionalism: it’s obvious that Sam has years of driving experience. He expertly navigated through traffic and bumpy roads, and I felt so safe with his driving. His english is perfect, and he communicated very clearly about everything. He was reliable and was always on time or early!

2) Game drive: Sam knew where to find all of the animals, and he made sure to give me the best experience, waiting to watch the animals interact in their natural environment to get to know their nature and personalities.

3) Friendliness: Sam was super hospitable and made sure I was well taken care of. He shared information about Kenyan food and culture, and I can say he is a friend after getting to know him!

Great value for money. The experience surpassed all expectations. Sam, skillfully navigated the wild terrain. Most impressively, his ability to tell the way of life of the animals and insight added a layer of depth that made this safari truly unforgettable.

Friendly, knowledgeable, trustworthy service
5/5

We have had many very pleasant experiences with Samuel as our driver, most recently in Feb’24. His safari van is clean and comfortable, with a pop-up roof for game viewing and all-wheel drive for the tough spots. Each seat is a “captain’s chair” with a full row in the very back, seating 6 adult guests comfortably. Samuel is an excellent guide with many interesting tidbits of information to share, many obscure facts, often quite humourous. We have travelled a lot in Kenya and have found Samuel to be the best driver to Meru National Park, Nairobi National Park and the Maasai Mara. He is punctual and organized and the prices are very fair. Highly recommended

Samuel our driver and the tour operator were excellent ! Knowledge of the animals, parks and city made it a pleasure. Also and perhaps most important, a very safe and patient driver.

Lifetime journey with Kiboko
5/5

Amazing safaris with Kiboko. 7 days and night bringing to life, to nature, to jungle law. We experienced things that will never be forgotten. So many first times, everyone should try it before it is too late.

5/5

We organized a 4 day 3 night safari to Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru with Kiboko Tours and it was a fantastic experience. The communication with Gibson during the booking phase was excellent, he proposed different solutions very quickly and sent us several quotes to best meet our needs. Our guide during the Safari was Chris who made our experience unforgettable! Excellent value for money.
If we returned to Kenya we would definitely organize our Safari with Kiboko again. Thank you guys!! :)

Trip of a lifetime
5/5

Can't recommend Kibobo tours enough!

From even before the safari started, Gibson was super responsive and knowledgeable, guiding us through the itinerary and booking process with speed, expertise and patience.

This expertise continued into the safari itself. Gibson and Washida our amazing driver guide both accompanied us on our 9 day safari. They were punctual, knowledgeable and offered a perfect experience. The car was very comfortable and in great condition with drinking water provided all the time.

The safari lodges were expertly chosen, each offering something unique like sweeping views or breakfast with the resident hippos or a beautiful pool. Food at the lodges was plentiful and delicious and we couldn't stop eating! Gibson organized us a mid safari hike and a horseback ride amongst the wild animals to get out of the car for a day as well.

Most importantly, the safari was incredible itself. Washida with 22 years of driver guide experience asked us each morning what we wanted to see and would spot animals we would never have been able to see ourselves. Bathroom breaks were regular and a picnic lunch in the Maasai Mara was a highlight. Their knowledge of the animals was amazing and provided such an educational experience. I also noticed that they were almost the only company picking up trash we found left in the parks by other guests. If conservation of this area matters to you as much as it does to me then you know Kiboko cares too.

Our group felt like there was a surprise hidden around each corner, to beautiful lookout spots to maasai village visits and amazing hospitality.

We will miss our time and Kenya and won't hesitate to recommend Gibson, Washida and Kiboko tours! Have already recommended him to our friends. Thanks Kibobo for the trip of a lifetime!
