The wildlife was plentiful and stunning, so much local knowledge in this small company.
5/5

We have used this company many times, each time the 'personal' service was fantastic. We had game drives and added experiences by visiting local community projects that gave us fabulous insights into how people live. We are so pleased we found Cherokee Tours and we highly recommend them.

An Exciting Adventure in the African Bush
5/5

Having travelled with Peter, my guide, on many occasions, I knew I was in for a fabulous safari and this adventure lived up to all expectations. I left London on a dreary, February day and was met bright and early at the airport in Nairobi by my smiling host, ready to guide me on a tailor-made itinerary to some of the most quintessential National Parks and game reserves in Kenya. The first week went ahead as planned, staying in much-loved camps and lodges in the Tsavos and Amboseli where we were treated royally with traditional warmth and Kenyan hospitality. We saw lions feasting on their kill, large numbers of elephants coloured red with the Tsavo dust or black from the swamp at Amboseli, leopards patrolling their territories, a sea of pink flamingos under the shadow of Mount Kilimanjaro, visited the elephant I sponsor at the SWT reintegration unit and watched elephants and a leopard at a floodlit waterhole overlooked from the dining area as we enjoyed a delicious dinner in the luxury of our beautiful lodge. Although we had originally planned to visit the Maasai Mara, the day I flew to Kenya many parts of the Mara suffered severe flooding and due to his wide experience as a guide and his consideration for my safety, Peter was able to rearrange our safari at very short notice and we enjoyed the nature and scenery at Samburu, Sweetwaters and Naivasha instead. The amazing wildlife sightings continued with many highlights including following a pride of lions along a track where we were the only vehicle observing this majestic family, a close encounter with the last two remaining Northern White Rhinos and hippos and an abundance of waterbirds seen whilst on a relaxing boat ride. Our final, stunning sunset was spent with a pride of eleven lions as they climbed trees and made their way along the dam and through the golden grass. Peter's expertise, enthusiasm and ability to always find the prime position at each sighting, combined with his understanding and prediction of animal behaviour, enabled us to make the most of every precious moment of a wonderful safari. Asante sana Peter.

Professional bespoke service
5/5

I have travelled with Peter’s company three times. Each time has been So memorable.
His planning and communication is superb. The safaris have been amazing with knowledgable guides, visiting great places, saw the big 5 on each occasion (as well as loads of other animals) and the accommodation has always been clean and comfortable.
Can’t wait until the next time.

Exciting adventure
5/5

We were lucky enough to visit Kenya on a safari tour in 2011. Our visit comprised Ambosili, Lake Nakuru and Masai mara. At arrival we were picked up by Peter Mutsiya from the airport.

The trip was fabulaous and the accomadations arranged by Peter was excellent. His knowledge on wild life is second to none and we learned so much new information. The schedule was flexible and Peter was always happy to accommodate our requests.

I would definitely recommend a trip to Kenya and with Peter for any one who appreciate visiting game parks and to have a good understanding on wild life. Thanks Peter and hopefully we will be able to see you again soon.

Simply...the best!
5/5

I have travelled with Cherokee Tours on several occasions and would never go to Kenya with anyone else. Peter Mutisya is the perfect host and guide for whom nothing is too much trouble. Everything about the tours is perfect, from the transport and accommodation to the sightings which exceed expectations every time. We were lucky enough to see wild dogs (I prefer to call them by their other name, painted dogs) on our last trip - a rare, completely unexpected and memorable experience. Peter knows the territories so well and wherever we go, Amboseli (a particular favourite of mine) Samburu, the Mara or anywhere else, he always takes us to where we are most likely to have superb sightings of both mammals and birds. The accommodation Peter arranges is excellent, always with extensive grounds and usually with water-holes, both offering additional opportunities for even more photography! I was unable to visit this year but am hoping so much that I can return in 2021.
