Far exceeded expectations! Winnie was my contact person, and she was incredibly diligent and responsible. She would start replying to my messages as early as 6 a.m. local time every day. She answered every question I had—unlike some people who only respond to a few selectively when asked multiple questions, Winnie always gave very clear answers. When we made some adjustments during our trip, she actively helped us modify the plans and promptly checked in on how our travel experience was going.
Our guide and driver, Simon, is more introverted and doesn't talk much, but his service was exceptionally proactive and efficient. He showed us an incredible number of animals. On the second day alone, he took us to witness a lion hunting a buffalo from start to finish, and we were the only vehicle on-site to see the entire process. On the third day, as we waited to observe cheetahs hunting, Simon predicted where the cheetah would go and maneuvered our vehicle ahead of dozens of others to give us the best view. Simon taught himself Chinese and has pretty good pronunciation with accurate tones; he would tell us the Chinese names of the animals and even knew whether they were male or female. He also took us to buy Coke at a price half of what the hotel charged. Every time we loaded our luggage onto the vehicle, he would cover it with a cloth to protect it from dust. If the windows got dirty the day before, the vehicle would be spotless again when he picked us up the next morning. There were so many more such details. I believe Simon is an impeccable guide and driver—all of us thought he was absolutely fantastic with no faults whatsoever. Before leaving, I even gave Simon my copy of the East African Animal Guide.

bold and cautious
Our guide Simon was extremely conscientious and responsible. Throughout the entire trip, he was meticulous—the vehicle was filthy inside and out after the safari, yet we found it spotless the next morning. His driving skills were also excellent, so we never had any safety concerns. The most delightful surprise was Simon's ability to name animals in Chinese with remarkably accurate pronunciation—highly recommended for Chinese visitors. We witnessed lion and leopard hunting twice, thanks to Simon's driving skills and keen eyesight. I've already added Simon on WeChat and started recommending him to my friends. Thanks to Simon, our group of six enjoyed a truly fortunate and perfect safari experience!

Kenya: A Truly Unique Adventure in the Wild
Our journey with Extra Miles Unique Adventures was absolutely exceptional. The entire itinerary was thoughtfully designed and impeccably organized, making our trip seamless from start to finish. Special thanks to Winnie from Extra Miles for her prompt and helpful responses throughout the planning process—it made us feel well-supported even before we arrived.
Our driver, Simon, deserves the highest praise. Though quiet by nature, he was incredibly attentive, sharp-eyed, and deeply experienced. Thanks to his expertise, we managed to arrive just in time to witness several breathtaking moments, including lions and cheetahs on the hunt. His skill and intuition truly enriched our experience, allowing us to capture memories we’ll cherish forever. Especially, his Chinese is very good. He can tell us the Chinese names of the animals, which is very helpful to us.
Thank you, Extra Miles, and especially Simon, for a priceless and unforgettable adventure in Kenya.

Service & Reliability: Simon picked me up right on time in a clean, comfortable vehicle. He is not just a driver but a true professional who knows the area inside out. He shared fascinating stories and history that you won't find in any guidebook.

★★★★★ Exceptional Guide!
Simon made our Kenya trip truly unforgettable. His knowledge of the wildlife and local culture was outstanding, and his passion for conservation was inspiring. Very reliable, professional, and always went the extra mile to ensure we had the best experience. Highly recommend Simon as a guide！
Perfect
Great memory in Kenya, Simon is well guided and reliable driver, although he normally has few words and silent but he is in charge all the things and tried his best to find animals, we’re lucky to see hunting twice!

Friendly, Always approachable
The first contact of Extra Miles is friendly, always reacted on our message. We had a nice experience overall. The guide, Simon, adapted to our schedule to start a very early trip. He's a very nice guide, find the best route and identify various animals quick, and he drived excellent. We took a short route to the Amboseli park which was an exciting and interesting experience.
The only thing I would recommend, filling in the ticket booking form earlier. processing the whole procedure at the park gate is incredibly time consuming. I wish they could tell us earlier.
