Great !
A couple of hours after I sent my last review the company got in touch with us and apologized for the slow response. I would like to change my review to this “We had an amazing experience traveling with this company to Amboseli and Tsavo East National Parks. Overall we really recommend this experience, our driver Joseph was particularly amazing."

Would have love to give 5 stars …
There was a confusion about the pick up time but we made everything to be ready at the given time even if it wasn’t what was requested , but we ended waiting a little bit more than an hour to be picked up
From there everything was very nice , the safari was amazing , we’ve been lucky enough to see many animals and magical scenery on the first and second day !
The camp was okay , and was exactly as described . The food was nice also !
The masaai made a fire camp for us during the last night , we stayed around and enjoyed this time !
But the third day was a bit deceiving , we were brought to the masaai village at an extra cost , and to be honest it looked staged , and everything was made to make us give more and more money ! And the prices were excessfull !! People over there were kind of putting pressure on us to make us buy something or give money .
It’s a bit sad cause it was nice to discover the traditions at the beginning .
The we were brought to the community school and were again ask for “donations”.
After all that we were all a bit disturbed about this experience , and it was time to hit the road back to Nairobi .
On the road we asked our driver if it was possible to be dropped at Nairobi Terminus to catch our train , he told us that it was okay for him but he ended up dropping us in central Nairobi , with some guys who offered us to keep our luggage during the afternoon for free and then drop us at the train station for free in the evening ! But after, when we got in the office to leave our stuff , they started telling us that the ride to the train station will be at an extra cost !!! So I refused !! It wasn’t supposed to be like that !
All the other person in the group were dropped off were they asked !!
So we left and ended up paying a Bolt to get to the train station , which I find non professional at all since the tour guide was supposed to drop us there !!

Joe our driver was absolutely amazing.
We were picked at our abode at around 10am and left for Nairobi National Park. Joe was so accomodating, he even let us borrow his binoculars at some point. He was quite educating and taught us a lot about wildlife. He was also experienced as he knew strategic locations and how to locate the lions and rhinos using the radio walkie talkie. It was much fun!

Great, informative und exciting adventure!
The safari with Explorers Wild Adventures and our guide Jeff was great - we have seen all big five animals and many more. Jeff was the perfect guide with so much knowledge about the nature, the wildlife and the culture in Kenya. I would definitely recommend to do this!

uncomplicated and individual
The organisation of the tour was very easy und uncomplicated, communication through Whatsapp, pick-up at our address in Nairobi. Our tour guide was caring a lot about us and our individual needs, big know-how about the flora and fauna in the parc. We have really enjoyed the tour and reccomend it especially for families.

An unforgettable Safari with Explorers Wild Adventures - 10/10!
Our 6-day safari to Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli with Explorers Wild Adventures was everything we hoped for and so much more.
My boyfriend and I planned the safari from Germany and while this can be a quite difficult process, Johann Mwale from Explorers Wild Adventures helped us during every step of the way. He recommended different safari options to us: budget, mid-range and luxury. We decided for the mid-range option as it was offering beautiful lodges and a PRIVATE safari for an excellent price. Communication with Johann was always quick and excellent. On our side, we also had some trouble with the bank transfer. However, Johann was very kind and helpful in this situation.
On the day our safari started, we were picked up by Johar (John) who is the best driver and guide we could wish for. If possible, we highly recommend to do your own tour with him. He is very knowledgeable, patient, kind and always goes the extra mile to give his clients the best experience. Thanks to him we saw all of the Big 5 and many more animals on our tour. We are very grateful to the Explorer Wild Adventures-Team and will definitely choose them for our next safari in Kenya again without hesitation. Thank you for an unforgettable vacation!

Amazing experience
The booking process was very straightforward and the communication with the office nice and easy. They were able to arrange a slightly different itinerary for us than we had seen online which was great!
We were collected promptly from the airport as planned and met Joseph our guide. Joseph was very friendly and made us feel welcome straight away.
The safari experiences were incredible. Joseph was an excellent driver who ensure we saw everything! He communicated with other drivers to help track animals and took us all over each of the parks. He was very knowledgeable about the animals, providing us with facts and answering our questions.
The accommodation (mid-range lodge) was a little mixed, some of the lodges could be improved. As a vegetarian, the food was quite repetitive however mostly tasted good! One of the vegetarian packed lunch however was not good at all - I’d advise to take snacks!
I would absolutely recommend this company to anybody looking to do a safari. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!

basically they are liars
They put 8 of us in a van when the budget clearly said 7 maximum (and 7 is already uncomfortable). Also, far from apologizing, they told us that we had been lucky, that we could have been up to 9 (and they don't care what was in the contract). They also try to force you to go to the Masai village instead of going on an early safari, because for them it is much cheaper, it cost us some very serious discussions to be able to go on safari on the last day (although it also says so in the contract). Do not let an unforgettable experience be spoiled by going with these people, there are many companies that do what they say.

Posted on Jun 19, 2023Dear Jorge,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about our safari experience. We appreciate all forms of feedback, whether positive or negative, as it helps us improve our services and provide the best possible experience for our guests.
We apologize if your recent safari had 8 occupants and did not meet your expectations however this was only for the 2 days while you were in the Masai Mara since your safari was based on a 6 day group joining tour, the number of occupants was minimum for the other days. Our aim is to ensure that every guest enjoys a comfortable and enjoyable experience, and we regret if this was not the case during your visit.
To address your concerns, we regularly monitor and manage the number of occupants in our safari vehicles to maintain a balance between the number of guests and the available space. However, it is possible that there were certain circumstances or factors that led to a higher occupancy during your visit. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you.
We also feel that a private safari option would have suited you the most rather than a group joining safari which we also offer, one of the most remarkable aspects of a private safari is the ability to craft a personalized itinerary. Unlike group safaris, where the schedule is predetermined, a private safari allows you to design a journey that aligns perfectly with your preferences. Private safaris provide an unmatched level of personalized attention and service where you have a dedicated guide and often a private vehicle, which means your experience is tailored to your interests.
We take your feedback seriously, and we will review our procedures and make the necessary adjustments to prevent similar issues in the future. It is important for us to strike a balance between accommodating all guests who wish to experience the safari while ensuring everyone's comfort and enjoyment.
We would like to extend an invitation to you for another safari experience with us, where we can ensure a more satisfactory visit. Please feel free to contact our customer service department, and we will be more than happy to assist you in arranging a future visit that meets your expectations.
Once again, we appreciate your feedback and thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. We value your patronage and hope to have the opportunity to restore your faith in our safari service.
Best regards,
Guest Relations Team.
