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.

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

Great!
I have never been a proponent of the whole ‘trip of a lifetime’ saying. I have always thought that every trip is amazing and there is more to come that could be better. Well, I think I am wrong after today. It was the most incredible experience I have ever had. Seeing these amazing animals in the wild is beyond anything I could have imagined. I saw 3 out of the Big Five! I am tired, sweaty, dirty and covered in red dust but it was so worth every second and every dollar!!!!
Aziz was so professional and knowledgeable it was a pleasure to spend this adventure with him. I didn’t want the day to end!

Very Special Vacation!
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.
