Unforgettable 8 Day Kenya trip with lots of animals, amazing guide and reliable tour operator
We booked our 8-day Private Safari with Kiboko a few weeks ahead of our trip, and it went very smoothly. Gibson communicated excellently, and we made some changes to the tour, and he was incredibly accommodating and answered all our questions.
Our safari guide Chris was the best! He is not only an exceptional guide but also a great driver and conversationalist. He can read the room perfectly and knows when his guests want to chat and when they want to just rest. Chris was always on time and was flexible when we wanted to adjust the schedule slightly. We particularly appreciated Chris's extensive knowledge about animals and Kenyan culture, giving us more insights and understanding of how life is in Kenya. We saw lots of animals thanks to him and would highly recommend Chris as a guide in a heartbeat.
On our last day, we had some more time than expected due to a flight delay, and Chris made sure we could spend the extra hours in Nairobi. We were thrilled with the coffee farm tour, and he recommended a great restaurant for dinner before dropping us off at the airport.
Our favorite place was Samburu. It's a bit further off but worth the drive because of the scenery and tranquility during game drives! We even spotted rare twin baby elephants and saw a massive herd of elephants passing along the river from our hotel balcony (Samburu Simba Lodge, a special gem with the kindest staff). Next to Masai Mara, we would further recommend checking out Ol Pejeta Conservancy, especially to support their Rhino conservation efforts. And if you want to see elephants very, very close (and if you are lucky, experience the thrill of seeing hyenas hunting), then Aberdare - The Ark is the place to go.

Knowledgable and friendly guides make for a memorable safari.
Going on safari was a lifelong goal for me and my wife, and after disciplined saving throughout COVID we saved enough to spend 11 days on safari in Kenya. I requested quotes from several safari operators. Fortunately, my choice was easy -- Kiboko Tours and Travel offered the most exciting itinerary at the best price.
Leading up to the safari Gibson provided great communication, helping sort through my bank's concerns about transferring a large amount of money to Kenya to someone I didn't personally know. Upon arrival we stayed in a hotel in Nairobi for a day to recover from jet lag, then met Gibson and tour guide + driver Johnson, who picked us up at the exact time and location we'd arranged.
Our safari took us to six location: Samburu, Aberdare, Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha, and Amboseli. Each location offered its own charms and special moments. If I were planning the trip again, I may choose to skip Lake Naivasha, as it was the one location where we didn't see anything that was completely unique from other stops. Samburu, our first stop, was my favorite location and one of the less visited parks.
We saw all of the major animals (lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants, water buffalo, all three subspecies of giraffes, hippos, rhinos, flamingos, both species of zebras, oryx, gerenuk, wildebeest, and more). We also got lucky and saw several rare species: caracal, serval, bush babies, and genets. And, we were lucky enough to spot babies of many species, including two baby leopards playing with their mother, a fluffy baby giraffe, and a baby cheetah.
Throughout the tour Gibson clearly communicated each day's plan and Johnson drove skillfully and spotted many animals. My wife and I are avid birders and we were thrilled that Johnson was not only great at spotting well camouflaged species but knowledgeable about the many varieties of birds in Kenya, including some that are very hard to distinguish. For Johnson and Gibson have a passion for Kenya's wildlife that made our safari a wonderful experience.

Great Safari Experience!
We truly recommend Kiboko Tours for your Safari experience.
We went with my family of four on a safari in Kenya with Kiboko, for 8 days in August 2024. As a European it’s always exciting to book something in an unknown country. Kiboko really supported us in a great wat planning the journey. Already then they provided expertise, flexibility and gave trust in their organization and financial transactions. We had a warm welcome at the airport by Gibson (the owner) and our driver Samuël.
The safari was amazing. Samuël turned out to be very knowledgeable, great driver with an outstanding instinct on where to position the jeep so we could witness the wildlife in action from close range. Awesome. We will never forget this.
We went to several places like Amboseli, Lake Naivasha, cycling and beautiful gorge walk in Hell’ Gate, Nakuru National Park, Mali Saba Camp and finally Masai Mara National Reserve.
We saw the big 5 and have lots of stories to tell. Memoires were made. Thanks Kiboko for making this so enjoyable for us! If we go back we would certainly choose Kiboko again!

Great hospitality
We had a great tour with them and highly recommend you if you want to have a tour in safari. We wanted our travel to be flexible in order to adjust for weather conditions and our time schedule. They organize and adjust really well in advance to travel and during too.
Thank you very much!!!

It was organized and executed perfectly. Cheap and wonderful!
We booked with Kiboko tours and have zero regrets. We went to Masai Mara and Amboseli and had a perfect time. They took great care of us andmade sure we saw everything. They made sure we were in front of all the people so we could see everything. The best part about Kiboko is that they were really cheap in comparison to the rest of the safaritours. It is also a real Kenyan company what makes it even better! Shoutout to our wonderful driver Mike aswell who took great care of us.

Highly Recommend Kiboko Tours !
I have been on many safaris however this was my first solo which I did in order to maximize photo opportunities. Gibson was amazing and very communicative in helping to plan the trip, and guides Chris and Emmanuel were patient and resourceful in listening to my needs and finding animals.
