An amazing Couple Safari - thank you Ann, Wilfred and the whole Extra Miles Unique Adventures Team!!
When I first thought about taking my girlfriend to Kenya to experience an African Safari together, I didn’t know where to start. Fortunately, Google was there to help, so I found out about safaribookings.com where there host a huge number of companies offering Safari trips of a variety of itineraries, features, lengths and budget. To narrow down my search I used 3 main criteria: customer reviews, itinerary and cost. Based on these criteria, I shortlisted a handful of companies and then contacted 3 of them that seemed most appealing to me. Only one of them (Extra Miles Unique Adventures) offered a “Couple Safari” that I knew of, which intrigued me, but I wanted to remain unbiased. All three companies responded quite quickly with the information requested and price quotes. However, I was impressed by the professionalism, the attention to detail and the clarity and promptness of the communication from Extra Miles. So, I decided to settle down on them, and I am so glad that I did!
Ann, a Tour Consultant with Extra Miles, was my main point of contact. I cannot thank her enough for all the help she provided over a period of over 2.5 months! Ann was always very prompt, clear and courteous in her communications – whether via email or via WhatsApp (which is what we mostly used starting shortly before the tour and throughout the duration of the tour). She was very helpful in customizing the tour for us – from modifying the itinerary to adding lodging/hotel/airport transfer in Nairobi before and after the Safari, while being mindful of my budget and other considerations. Since the tour was advertised as a “Couple Safari”, I wanted to know what it actually meant. She told me that there was going to be some decoration/romantic arrangements in the lodge that we will stay at Maasai Mara at the beginning of the trip, and I was satisfied with that. However, to my surprise (and to my girlfriend’s surprise, of course), it was much more than that! We were very happy with all the fun and romantic ideas Ann and the team incorporated into our experience, which made our very first African Safari as pleasant and memorable as we could have ever imagined! I’m not going to get into the detail of the various things they arranged for us just to avoid spoiling the surprise of the future Safari participants

Unforgettable trip
My husband and I visited Kenya in February and had an excellent 7-day safari tour, during which we visited 3 nature reserves. The tour operator's team met us right at the airport.
We want to especially thank our guide Fred, who was a true professional. He took care of our comfort and well-being. His experience and knowledge of wildlife helped us to see all the animals from the African Big Five on the third day of the trip. Moreover, he gave relevant information and interesting facts about animals.
We traveled on a clean and comfortable bus. Where there were always cold drinks in hot weather.
The hotels were high class, clean and tidy. The food in the hotels was both European and national cuisine. We recommend checking with the agency the list of hotels in which you will be staying on the tour.
All in all, we got an unforgettable experience and are happy with the choice of the tour and agency. Once again I want to highlight the merit of our guide Fred.

Our tour operator was always ready to help, plan and communicate. They were dedicated.
We experienced Lakes, rivers, grasslands and every animal you always wanted to experience plus many that you didn’t expect to see. The camps were comfortable and safe and the food was Kenyan with splashes of international flavors. Our tour operators were always there. They were extremely reliable and provided outstanding value for the money and the experience. Friendly and personable we whole heartedly recommend them for a true Kenya experience.

Very professional service, nice
This is my second time to East Africa, the first time was 10 years ago. This time I felt very good. In my early communication, the company's employees gave me a very good experience. Throughout the entire trip, Our guide Simon was very professional and gave us the best service. Especially on the return trip, they experienced the traffic problems on the road and allowed us to reach the airport smoothly. When we first arrived and at the end, the staff picked us up from the airport and asked us how our experience was at any time and maintained communication. Very satisfied, I will come again next time and recommend to my friends.

Experience of a Lifetime!!
I had the most amazing experience with Extra Miles Unique Adventures! Their team is the epitome of professionalism and hospitality! It was truly the experience of a lifetime. And the Masaai Mara is one of the most incredible places on earth! The wildlife and nature are simply unparalleled and I couldn’t have picked a better team for the safari.
Edwin helped me customize an itinerary that was right for me and provided multiple options to choose from. His professionalism and attentiveness were a wonderful first impression. As I was departing for Nairobi, my flight had a delay. They were understanding and helped coordinate the new times. Edwin also met me at the airport and introduced me to Jimmy, my guide for the week. Jimmy took me to their headquarters on our way out of town. There, I met Melisa, their director, who checked in periodically to make sure I was having a wonderful trip.
Jimmy and I started the long drive to Masaai Mara. Jimmy was the most amazing guide! He raced through backroads to make sure we had a great spot to view the wildlife and waited patiently while I tried to get the perfect picture. Part of the experience was being with such an experiencced guide who was as excited to see the various wildlife as I was! Jimmy’s passionate for the Mara creates an incredible experience. He is very knowledgable as well and was happy to answer my many questions.
I also went on the horseback game-drive and had an exquisite brunch overlooking the Mara. There I met John, our guide for the horseback adventure. It was an easy ride even with no previous experience on a horse. Being on horseback was such a special opportunity. It felt like truly being part of the Mara. Sitting there overlooking the savannah while listening to Jimmy and John talk about the Mara and the various conservation efforts was such a memorable and peaceful experience.
On the last day, I chose to go to Hell Gate National Park. We took a bike ride throughout the park and saw even more wildlife up close. The guide there, I believe his name was Ben, was very knowledgeable as well. He taught me even more about the park and the Masaai people.
Upon returning to my hotel in Nairobi, Melisa visited to get my feedback on the trip. She was attentive and wanted to make sure I had a wonderful trip. I was staying in town a few days longer and they even checked in to see how the rest of my trip was going. As a solo female traveler, I really appreciated the extra special care to make sure I was safe, comfortable and enjoying myself! I will absolutely visit again and will reach out to Extra Miles Unique Adventures when I return!
Very good
Everthings ok. Very good tour Guide. I see many animals.

Best experience ever
We would like to thank all your team and especially our guide Azizi for the best safari ever. It was our first experience and was really great. We did see cheetahs, elephants, buffalos, gazelles and many others. Azizi was very attentive to us and he is a very careful driver as well. So, we will recommend your company to all our friends who is going to visit Kenya.
Zhanna & Irina
P.S. It would better if you choose for overnight safari: you will get evening and morning game pride as well
