A reliable and caring operator that handles every detail with thoughtfulness and expertise
We would like to express our sincere gratitude to our guide Felix and the entire team for their thoughtful arrangements. On the day of our departure, there happened to be a parade in the city. We were initially concerned about traffic and safety, but the team was even more considerate than we could have hoped for they arranged for us to set off early, successfully avoiding the congestion and potential risks. That really put our minds at ease.
Felix, our driver-guide, impressed us with his professionalism. He has an incredible eye for spotting wildlife and always managed to position the vehicle at the perfect angle, giving us the best views for photos. The itinerary was well-planned—plenty of activities to fully experience the safari, yet the pace was relaxed and never overwhelming. We enjoyed every moment without feeling rushed.
From the initial communication to the execution of the trip, the entire service was reliable and reassuring. It was truly a trip that exceeded our expectations and offered great value for money. We have already recommended your agency to our family and friends.
Many thanks again to Simon and Felix!

Safari of a Lifetime – Exceptional Service from Start to Finish
From the moment we booked our honeymoon safari with Extra Miles Unique Adventures, Simon was incredibly responsive, helpful, and reassuring. Everything was so well organised, from collecting us at our hotel to transferring us to our safari lodge and then back to Nairobi at the end of our trip.
The real highlight, though, was our driver and guide, Chris. He truly made this experience unforgettable. On our very first full day in the Masai Mara, we saw leopards, rhinos, lions, and cheetahs all before lunch! Every morning he greeted us with the biggest smile, and his knowledge of the wildlife and the Masai Mara was outstanding.
Chris also took the time to understand the kind of experience we wanted. He knew when we were happy to spend all day searching for wildlife and when we fancied a more relaxed afternoon, which made the trip feel really personal.
Extra Miles Unique Adventures took care of absolutely everything, allowing us to completely relax and enjoy our honeymoon. We couldn’t have asked for a better safari experience and can’t wait to tell all our friends and family about it. We would recommend them without hesitation!

Very serious and responsible
The person in charge, Donnah, was very attentive and responsible, constantly monitoring our itinerary and travel experience throughout the safari.
Our local guide, Francesé, is highly recommended. She has a great sense of boundaries and is very keen on finding animals. She waited for us for a long time at the Marseille market on the last day, which was very kind of her.
Overall, it was an unforgettable safari trip ❤️

Amazing experience!
Extra Miles Unique Adventures provided an incredible experience! From the very first pick-up, they welcomed us like family, making us feel so special. The itinerary was amazing, and they arranged beautiful places to stay with amazing food. In planning the trip, they were quick to respond, providing great information. This was one of the primary reasons we selected them. During the five days, the driver, Felix, was fantastic, providing knowledgeable insights from his twenty years of experience. We appreciated his safe driving and his recommendations. I highly recommend Extra Miles - giving them all the stars!!!
Perfect travel
Salesman Simon is reliable and arranges our whole trip thoughtfully. Guide Ximeng is shy at first but extremely hard‑working. He locates various wildlife accurately and picks the best viewing spots for us all the time.
We visited Samburu, Nakuru, Masai Mara, Naivasha and Amboseli during the safari. We shared nice conversations around a campfire at night. I sincerely recommend this travel team.

The animals are very wonderful. Unforgettable days
The experience was excellent. Our driver, Simon, was fantastic. He speaks excellent Chinese, is a very nice and interesting person, and although he's an introvert, he even gave us Kenyan names. He's very responsible.

A wonderful and romantic trip
I trusted Extra‑Miles long before my trip even started. I had really pleasant conversations with Simon, the sales representative. We worked out our travel plan carefully every single day. He replied to my messages promptly even when it was very late in Kenya. He is sincere and hard‑working. I’m extremely grateful for his recommendations of such wonderful hotels and itinerary.
On our departure day, our flight left early in the morning. Simon waited for us ahead of time, which warmed my heart. He helped us get local SIM‑cards. I gave them small gifts from China, putting me in a great mood right at the start of the journey.
Our official tour kicked off on June 10. Our guide Ximeng was shy at first yet highly dedicated. We drove a long way to Samburu. The wildlife there was absolutely breathtaking. Ximeng introduced every animal to us. We spotted reticulated giraffes, Grevy’s zebras and rare lions. We were lucky enough to see four out of the big five within the first two days.
I have to mention how attentive Simon is. Whenever he got news of lions or leopards, he drove there at full speed. He could predict where the animals were heading, so our vehicle always got the best viewing spot. He even checked guidebooks to identify animals for us.
After staying two nights at the lovely Simba Hotel, we headed to Nakuru. The stunning Sopa Hotel relaxed all of us, surrounded by picture‑perfect scenery.
Later we travelled to the Masai Mara, Ximeng’s hometown and the biggest surprise of this trip. Thanks to him, we saw nearly all the famous lion prides. He parked properly for our photos and moved on quickly to look for more wildlife. Everything went perfectly.
Our next stop was Lake Naivasha. Our local agent Simon arranged a free boat cruise for us. Guide Ximeng toured Crescent Island with us and took excellent photos. I took plenty of precious pictures with animals together with him.
The final destination was Amboseli. Right now I am lying at the gorgeous Praro Hotel, gazing at Mount Kilimanjaro while writing this review. Last night we chatted with Ximeng around a campfire. He gave each of us four Kenyan‑style names, which was hilarious. We formed a close bond from spending whole days in the car together.
I will whole‑heartedly recommend everyone from Extra‑Miles to my friends, and I will choose this agency again myself. Special thanks to salesperson Simon and guide Ximeng. Hope we meet again someday.

Exceeded Expectations
We had an amazing experience with Extra Miles Unique Adventures! Joseph was fantastic to work with – he took the time to customize our Safari itinerary exactly to our preferences and was always quick to respond to emails, making the whole planning process, smooth and stress-free.
Our driver, Felix, was equally outstanding. He was very safe and skilled driver, and his knowledge of the area is impressive – he always seems to know exactly where to go to spot wildlife, which made our safari unforgettable.
I would definitely book with them again on my next trip to Kenya. Highly recommend!
