Excellent guides and drivers, knowledgeable and customer service oriented
The experience at Masai Mara park was amazing, notably thanks to the excellent service provided by the company and their guide/drivers Ben and Sayiale. They are very professional, knowledgeable, friendly and very well respected in their community. They knew the right spots to show us so we were able to take amazing pictures, while respecting the environment and the animals. I strongly recommend.
Professionalism and helpfulness, that’s Trav-Interactive!
We set off on our safari as a group of ten and spent five days and four nights exploring Tsavo West, Amboseli, Taita Hills, and Tsavo East.
The itinerary was organized by John before our departure. He listened to and accommodated all our requests, offering us not only the chance to go on numerous game drives (9 in five days), but also several extra experiences that made our trip truly unique. The nature walk in the savannah of Taita Hills, the panoramic viewpoint at Mudanda Rock, and the Lugard Falls in Tsavo East, as well as spotting hippos at Mzima Springs in Tsavo West, were all unforgettable experiences.
What truly made the difference in our safari, however, were the guides/drivers: Randu and Righan were the real added value. With their professionalism and experience, they led us to the most beautiful and hidden corners of the parks: herds of elephants just meters away, lionesses hunting warthogs and buffalo, hundreds of zebras and wildebeest, a cheetah hidden in the brush, hippos both in and out of the water. And then giraffes, buffalo, gazelles, antelopes, crocodiles, a lion atop a Lions Rock, countless bird species, and many other animals...
Our jeeps were comfortable, practical, and always clean despite the red Tsavo dust. Randu speaks excellent and fluent Italian.
At every accommodation—whether lodge or tented camp—we felt truly welcomed, and the hospitality of the Kenyan people will stay in our hearts. We especially recommend the Kilaguni Serena Safari Lodge in Tsavo West.
Trav-interactive gets full marks... we’ll be back for the Masai Mara!

Breathtaking
I hope people have the energy to read my review until the end! 😂
I highly recommend this travel agency for safaris in Kenya!
We were a group of 10 Italians (4 parents and 6 young adults). It was our first time in an African country — and therefore, our first safari.
While we had some amazing organizers within our group, John’s dedication and willingness to ensure we had an unforgettable experience made all the difference. He helped us personalise and plan everything perfectly: choosing the right national parks to visit — and in the best order (1. Tsavo West, 2. Amboseli, 3. Taita Hills, 4. Tsavo East) — based on our arrival in Mombasa. He selected the ideal hotels, must-do experiences, and activities for us.
And last but not least, he found us the best drivers: Randu and Righan. Both spoke excellent English (like John), and one of them even spoke fluent Italian — a big plus, since not everyone we met in Kenya spoke English clearly, which sometimes made communication tricky.
The drivers were joyful, professional, and fully committed to making our safari incredible. They went above and beyond to help us spot as many animals as possible — almost at any cost! 😂 We did 8 game drives of 2–3 hours each over 5 d. It was intense — we were ready by 6 am and out spotting animals until nearly 7 pm — long days!
Not once did we feel unsafe in their care. They were well-trained and respectful of safari rules and wildlife. We had the chance to see so many animals up close: elephants, zebras, giraffes, buffalos, various gazelles, lionesses (multiple times), young lions, hyenas, cheetah, many birds, warthogs, hippos, and crocodiles.
Honestly, there wasn’t a single moment I didn’t enjoy or feel truly happy.
I completely fell in love with Kenyan culture and its people. ❤️

Well organised and trustworthy
From the moment we arrived, this safari was nothing short of amazing. We were warmly welcomed by the staff, setting the tone for what turned out to be an unforgettable adventure.
Every detail was thoughtfully taken care of, and the team went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and cared for. The game drives were absolutely incredible — we saw so much wildlife and learned a lot along the way.
A huge thank you to our driver, who stayed with us throughout the entire trip. His knowledge, patience, and passion for the wildlife made each drive special. He knew exactly where to go and always made sure we had the best view possible.
This experience exceeded all expectations, and I can’t recommend it enough!
Trav Interactive made the whole experience stress-free by perfectly handling our flights and safari plans.

Attentive
I had an excellent experience working with Trav-Interactive. They promptly provided me a quote and followed up with airplane, lodging, and park permit reservations. They periodically checked in to make sure everything was operating smoothly. Overall it was a seamless experience.

Our tour operator was thorough, informative, and efficient
John was very good at communicating via email of any questions with regards to details with the safari.
He was also very helpful when our luggage was lost at airport to find a way to still do the safari and not miss out on anything and yet come back to the airport to get our luggage.
Our driver and tour guide Dan was efficient, informative, passionate about his job, went above and beyond to make sure we got to see as much of the animals as we possibly could.
He also made the safari itself smooth and relaxing. He bought complimentary water bottles for us and when we ran out of shillings, he helped pay for the tips until we got to an ATM to pay back. He was very kind and his English was overall easy to understand.
I would definitely recommend Dan as your tour guide and driver for there is nothing on this trip I feel like we missed out on because of his knowledge, efficiency, hospitality, and excellent communication.

Amazing safari with the best guide
We had an amazing 3-day Safari woththw best guide Juma. Juma was very kind and knew what animals we were most interested in so did his very best to find them and stop a little longer at the wildlife we loved most. We saw amazing animals from very close by! The lodges we slept in were also very nice and had a view on many elephants. The second nights we saw 2 elephants and an hyena from extremely close by while having dinner which was magical.
On the second day, the car unfortunately had some troubles which caused we would be unable to do our second gamedrive of the day, however Juma immediately ran to another guide and asked if we could join their gamedrive so we would've had the best experience while the mechanic took a look at and repaired the vehicle. We loved that extra effort from him! All in all, we had the best best best experience!

3 day safari Amboseli/Tsavo West
We had a wonderful safari with Trav Interactive. From the first contact we felt very comfortable. John was always proactive in getting back to us, asking what was going on and taking our wishes into account. We decided to stay at Amboseli Sopa Lodge with a view of Mount Kilimanjaro and the Saltlick lodge. Both accommodations were excellent. Juma, our driver/guide, was pleasantly unagitated but very nice and courteous and navigated us as a family wonderfully and safely.
Unfortunately, we were a little unlucky with the weather in Tsavo West, so we didn't really see many animals here. All in all, however, it was a great trip. We can recommend Trav Interactive with a clear conscience. Thank you John and thank you Juma for the great experience
