A wonderful experience
From the very first day I contacted Extra Miles, I truly felt at home. Joseph went above and beyond, taking care of every detail with such warmth and professionalism from start to finish. The lodge where we stayed in the Masai Mara was absolutely extraordinary, and every safari day was magical and unforgettable. Thank you for making this experience so special — it exceeded all our expectations

Heartwarming
Extra Miles Unique Adventures made our honeymoon amazing!
Extra Miles staffs welcomed us at our stayed hotel with beautiful bouquet, chocolates and message cards. They were at the hotel well ahead our meeting time.
We had three guides(Fred, Isaac, and Chris) during our 8 nights Kenya/Tanzania safari tours. Their driving skill was fantastic, and they know where we are, where to go, and how wildlife will move in the huge National parks. Thanks to them, we were able to spot big five also gnoos trying to coss a river.
Big concern happened during our tours when we tried to cross the Kenya-Tanzania border. We were worried and thought about discontinuity of our tour.
Nobody could control the situatuon (refer Election Tanzania 2025), however every staff in Extra Miles did their best to support us. They always stayed with us.
We felt so safe all the time.
We cannot describe how wonderful our honeymoon safari tours were. You need to experience it!
We really recommend the Extra Miles Unique Adventures for your lifetime experience Safari tour.
Lastly, we sincerely appreciate Joseph who took care of our honeymoon plan from scratch. He is the best coordinater ever!!

A Once-in-a-Lifetime Safari Experience in Kenya
Joseph was our business consultant before the tour officially started, and he was absolutely professional and responsive. He proactively adjusted our itinerary with great attention to detail, making sure every accommodation was well arranged. He also handled hotel invoices and airport pick-up preparations efficiently, which made us feel well cared for right from the very beginning.
Caxstone was our guide during the safari, and everything went smoothly and precisely according to our itinerary. He was reliable, detail-oriented, and remarkably observant — often anticipating our needs before we even voiced them. During the game drives, he always found the best spots for us to view the wildlife. Honestly, we weren’t obsessed with spotting the “Big Five,” but thanks to Caxstone, we completed it within the first two days!
Beyond his professionalism, he is also an honorable and kind man. When other vehicles were stuck or blocked on the road, he didn’t hesitate to lend a helping hand. He even shared food from his picnic box with local children near the park gates, quietly and selflessly — and we were truly moved by his generosity.
Melissa, who runs this certified company with her husband, personally came to pick us up at the airport and gave us a warm briefing before the journey began.
I chose to visit Kenya after reading a book last year that sparked my curiosity about this land. I had imagined this trip countless times before it happened — and it turned out to be even better than I could ever picture. Kenya is a place you must experience with your own eyes; no documentary or book can ever replace the feeling of being there.

a reliable and wildlife-savvy team in Kenya.
We just returned from a 7-day Kenyan safari organized by Extra Miles Safaris, and we are genuinely impressed. From our very first email, Joseph was quick to respond, patient with all our questions, and flexible in adjusting the itinerary to match our needs.
Our guide, Simon Mwangi, stood out for his excellent service and deep knowledge of wildlife. He could consistently spot a leopard hiding in tall grass, locate lions on the move, and knew every track the elephant herds use to reach their watering holes across the park.
Thanks to Joseph’s efficient planning and Simon’s expertise in the field, every game drive felt smooth and rewarding. We highly recommend Extra Miles Safaris to anyone looking for a reliable and wildlife-savvy team in Kenya.

Amazing 6 days in Maasai Mara, Amboseli and Nairobi
My son and I had an unforgettable journey through Kenya—an experience filled with moments and memories we will treasure for a lifetime. Our travel advisor, Wanja, played a pivotal role in making it all possible. She thoughtfully guided us through a range of options, helping us design an itinerary that perfectly matched our vision of a safari and cultural adventure. Her patience and flexibility in accommodating our changes, along with her detailed emails and calls, ensured that we were well prepared before setting out.
On our first morning in Nairobi, Wanja and her team personally met us at our hotel before driving us to Wilson Airport for our flight to the Karen Blixen Camp in the Maasai Mara. Our stay there was nothing short of magical. From the delicious breakfasts and dinners to the attentive service, every detail was carefully considered. The game drives—both morning and evening—were spectacular, giving us the chance to witness wildlife in its natural habitat. Our tent, perched on the banks of the Mara River, offered a unique soundtrack of rushing waters mingled with the grunts of hippos—an unexpectedly calming backdrop to our stay. A highlight was the balloon safari, which provided a breathtaking new perspective of the Maasai Mara that I would recommend to anyone.
From there, we traveled to Amboseli, where we stayed at the beautiful Tawi Lodge. Nestled amid a strikingly arid landscape, our hut was both rustic and luxurious, with views of Mount Kilimanjaro that felt almost surreal. The cuisine and service were world-class—on par with a Michelin-starred restaurant.
Our journey concluded back in Nairobi, where we visited Nairobi National Park and were fortunate enough to see rhinos up close. We also enjoyed a memorable meal at the famed Carnivore restaurant, a true culinary adventure, followed by a visit to the Nairobi National Museum. Learning about Kenya’s colonial past and its path to independence added a deeply enriching layer to our trip.
Looking back, every stop offered something special—whether awe, beauty, or insight—and together they created an extraordinary adventure we will always carry with us. We are deeply grateful to Wanja and her team at Extra Miles Unique Adventures for curating such a seamless, enriching, and joyful experience.

Very responsible and customer centric
Our interactions with Joseph was very pleasant and he guided us properly to understand the ground realities and helped plan accordingly.
Once we reached Nairobi, we were met by him at the airport and we met our driver cum guid Chris. Chris himself is passionate about wildlife and did everything to make sure we get to see the big five up close and plenty.
He was tireless for all the five whole days of game drive and we covered distance inside the jungle. Whenever he heard of spotting, he rushed to the place of action. The stays were comfortable and hotels were decent albeit expensive.
The only thing which could be avoided was the Masai village visit, which is purely a money making endeavour.
Overall, Extra Miles made sure we had one of our memorable holidays.

very nice :)
We had a wonderful safari in the Masai Mara – the organization, pre-trip communication, service, and reliability were excellent. The value for money and the overall experience were absolutely convincing.
One point that is especially important to us: we want to emphasize how crucial sustainability is for preserving this unique natural reserve. This also means avoiding off-road driving. We understand that it can be tempting to get closer to the animals, but this is exactly why all travelers should actively remind their guides to respect the rules. Only in this way can we ensure that both wildlife and landscape are protected in the long term, so that future generations can enjoy this beauty as well.
Overall, an unforgettable safari that we can highly recommend – with the heartfelt request to always keep the protection of the Masai Mara in mind.

Fascinating 4 days in Masai Mara, cannot expect more!
It's our first african trip and I did tons of research not to be scammed. Among over 50 travel agency I have contacted, extra miles became our final choice. Why ? first of course is their competitve quote. I picked all hotels in the trip so easily to compare the price between different vendors, extra miles is the only one who gave me detailed cost breakdown (accommodation / transportion / park fees) . But the real important thing which push me to make final decision is Joseph's professionalism and enthusiasmn in communication: He quickly responded all my questions with personalized, extensive suggestions. NOT a chatgpt answer I got from other agents. And he catered to all my requirepemnts like booking the flight directly and even help me to contact the hotels I booked myself. His prompt service didn't drop after we paid the deposit and everything went smoothly all the way to our arrival in Naroibi airport. YOU ARE THE BEST, JOSEPH!
Our driver Simon , performed another good job in Masa mara. He always actively searched for animals for us and patienly answered our questions. It was raining heavily late afternoon everyday during our stay and road was very muddy. Thanks for Simon' excellent driving skills, we didn't get any trouble and saw all the animals we expect to see , including a leopard climing down from the tree with a impala !
I would sincerely suggest everyone who read this review, send them a email to show your interest in east africa , and you definitely won't be disappointed !

Truly Went the Extra Mile!
We had an unforgettable African safari experience with Extra Miles in Nairobi! I went with a group of girlfriends, and the whole trip was planned beautifully from start to finish. They truly lived up to their name — going the extra mile to make sure everything ran smoothly.
Our local tour guide and driver were so knowledgeable, friendly, and flexible — they made our journey even more special. One of the highlights was the hot air balloon safari, which we decided to do at the very last minute. Extra Miles somehow made it happen with barely any notice. We were so impressed!
Highly recommend Extra Miles to anyone looking for a personalised, stress-free, and memorable safari in Africa. Absolutely worth it!
