Very Special Vacation!
5/5

My wife and I arrived at the Nairobi airport at 4 am and there were meeted by three people from Unique Adventures. After a breakfast at the airport, we began our trip by going to Naivasha. Not knowing much about it, we were both amazed by the abundant wildlife. After a boat tour on the lake, inhabited by loads of hippopotami, we were led in a walking tour during which we could get very close to the impala, water buffalo, and giraffes. We went to our hotel in Naivasha and were not disappointed. The food especially was delicious. The next day, we travelled to Lake Nakuru, and again saw a lot of animals on our safaris. The hotel wasn't quite as nice as the one in Naivasha but the view was fantastic. Our main objective was to go to Masai Mara where we spent the next couple of nights. The hotel, although excellent, was on the far west side of the park. This meant that we had to drive three hours through the park to get to it. The next morning, we had to travel about two hours back before we saw many animals. However, once we began seeing animals, it was fantastic. We were not disappointed and saw everything we wanted.
After returning to Nairobi, Unique Adventures arranged for us to go to the Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage (always worth a visit) and the Nairobi National Park (with it surprising abundance of animal life). We were then dropped off at our hotel where we ended our trip.
Before closing, I must say that our guide, Charles, was exceptional. Very knowledgeable and always friendly. All in all, a great trip.

Excellently organised tour and very flexible
5/5

I did a tour to Tsavo East NP and Extra Miles were very flexible and able to find me a tour on the date I needed. I was on a tight schedule with time so this was very important to me.

My guide was Aziz and he was very knowledgable and friendly and went out of his way to find wildlife of which we saw a lot. It was an all round excellently organised tour.

Good value. Good experiences
5/5

Everything promised was delivered, exceeding my expectations. Only thing I would change is Ibis Styles hotel in Nairobi. Sopa Lodge at Lake is a delight, Sopa Lodge at game preserve a little less so but still very good. Excellent driver who went above and beyond for us. When you visit elephant orphanage, ask your driver for a drive through Nairobi National Park, which is even larger than Maasi Mara and your best chance to see Rhinos. Price to enter is already included in Elephant orphanage, so might as well take advantage. Overall, highly recommended.

The Extra Mile adventure safari was an informative and fantastic experience. The staff were supportive and enthusiastic about what they do. The safari was well worth the money and I would recommend this to anyone.

Very responsible and good operator who takes care a lot of their customers
5/5

All Safari was great from the beginning to the end. Extra Miles Unique Adventures is a safe and responsible operator. We have nothing bad to say. Our guide Fred came early morning on time to collect us and during 3 days took care about us. In the car there were a lot of water, that was good. The car was comfortable, we could open the roof to see all animals better. We saw lions, elephants , giraffes very very close! Hotel was amazing! I really advise to visit Ashnil camp. I still can’t understand how they organized so comfortable stay in the middle of savanna. Thanks to Fred, he showed us so many animals I have never seen in my life. Could notice that he is experienced driver and knows savanna very well. He knows a lot of information about animals, and answered all our questions. At the end he brought us to the airport what was also very comfortable. Thank you, guys for this amazing experience!

High service level
5/5

All the way from pick up at our place the communication was excellent. When we got a challenge with the vehicle the company quickly changed to another vehicle. The guide was quite experienced and service minded. We managed to see all the big five in hour three days travel from Nairobi to Masai Mara. Everything worked well though the hotel was not good at supporting one in the group requiring gluten free food. All in all we are very satisfied.

Easy, friendly and wonderful team
5/5

This safari was part of a larger trip which we organised ourselves so when it came to looking at a safari agent we spent time looking around. Once we were in contact with Extra Miles we knew they would have everything we need. The team were very responsive and they helped us with what we wanted to do around our trip. The price we paid was very good value for money. They were very welcoming, friendly and very reliable and met us before and after our flight to the Masai Mara. We had the best, most memorable time on our safari so thank you for organising!

An Adventure of a Lifetime
5/5

Nothing is perfect and I think we should go into every experience with an open mind. However, Timothy, Charles and the Extra Miles team go out of their way to make it as enjoyable as possible. If you want a personal and, more importantly personable experience Charles is the best guide in Kenya.

Wow ! Where should I start , the service , the communication the tour guide , the tour itself were all perfect!!! I was contacted by Timothy who was always attentive , answered my questions and gave me all the information needed in a short period of time and always cared to know how we were.And the team even surprised us when they all came to pick us up to the safari which made us feel very comfortable, safe and that we are In professional hands. We stayed in lake Nakuru sopa lodge and Masai Mara sopa lodge both were beautiful (Masai Mara rooms are pretty far from the lobby) we had 1 day in lake Nakuru and 2 in Masai Mara . Our amazing tour guide Fred a very knowledgeable man , informative knows the map of the safari like the back of his hand, very kind and made his best to make all our wishes come true. Every request we had he fulfilled. Also with Fred knowing the map very well we were able to finish seeing the big 5 very quickly. We thank extra miles unique adventure for an unforgettable safari experience.
P.s it was my birthday a few days after we finish the safari but they made sure I celebrated also with them and ordered a cake for me!
