This tour company is professional, responding fast to enquiry, friendly and patient.
I travelled from Singapore to Kenya with my family of five. To be honest, the trip exceeded all my expectations.
The tour operator William was very friendly and patient with me. Even though I asked so many questions before the trip, he answered it all within 24 hours. Upon my request, he was so kind to arrange with the lodge for a birthday celebration for my son and on the actual day itself, he even called the driver and sent a message to me to check if everything was ok. I really appreciated the thoughtfulness.
The driver/guide Mr. James Kuria was very professional and friendly as well. He was so experienced in Safari Tour that he knew where to take us to see the exotic animals, e.g. the big five, hyaena, crocodile, etc. and he knew how to position the vehicle at the right angle so that we could have a better view. He knew all the animals so well that he could name almost all of them. He was so skillful that he overcame some of the most challenging terrains with the 4x4 Land Cruiser. I was very grateful that he took every precaution to drive us home safely.
All the accommodation was value for money and beyond our expectation. The lodge/camp was clean, food was good and coffee was fantastic.
All in all, we enjoyed the trip very much. Many thanks to Madukha.
I would recommend Madukha to anyone who are interested to book Safari Tour in Africa.

Accommodating and flexible to the parties concerns and needs.
I arranged a safari for a group initially of 5 friends and relatives that grew to 12. I started with a package safari off the website and tweaked it to the groups wants. Quick response time from Madukha. We added extra day in Nairobi for recovery - it's a long flight from NYC. We added another day for the giraffe center and the elephant orphanage before starting our safari. I contacted 3 companies on Safaribookings and only Madukha agreed to the tweaks. We checked the reviews of the tented camps and lodges on tripadvisor . One did not meet our standards and Madukha offered an option to change it for an upgrade. All the other accommodations were awesome. The accommodations were the same as the more expensive safari companies used. We had two vans and each night I would discuss with a driver/ tour guide the next day's schedule. The driver/tour guide accommodated special requests ie stopping at a pharmacy, lunch on the last day before the airport. I have been on other safaris and saw many different animals thanks to driver Paul's knowledge. The company made three different airport picks and two airport dropoffs on schedule. I have recommended Madukha to a neighbor that I only discovered over the weekend is booking a safari in 2024.

We had one of the best guides, Hassan
The planning of our 12 days 11 nights to Tanzania was not as smooth as silk. However, William the tour operator was very patient and kind throughout the whole process.
The 8 days of game were excellent and all credits to our guide, Hassan. He is knowledgeable, patient, funny and most important kind. My son lost one of his earpieces in the jeep and cannot be located. Two days later, Hassan surprised us by giving it to him during dinner. We were grateful and also impressed by his determination to give us a "perfect holiday".
We managed to sight all the big five and many interesting and surreal sights because of his professionalism.
We recommend for all to visit Tarangire NP, Serengeti NP, Ngorongoro Crater as they are so fascinating. However, we would not recommend Lake Manyara as it houses few animals and the game was uninteresting.
Accommodations arranged for this trip were generally good. We have a few hits and misses but honestly the misses were just little off with no major issues. ( likely is because we are too pampered back home, lol)
Taking the flight home from JRO airport was a nightmare, many checks involving removing of shoes and watch. The airport is so small that it could not house the number of travelers. We queued for most 50 mins from the car park before entering the airport. The situation was chaotic, rowdy and unpleasant. Coming from Singapore, an island that is highly orderly, the experience is highly unfavorable and unthinkable. We highly recommend for you to make it to the airport 3 hours before flight time to avoid missing the flight.
Last but not least, I will definitely travel with Madukha tour for my next Africa adventure!
Asante Sana William and Hassan!!!

We had a great experience with Madukha Tours. Highly recommend it to others.
We had a great experience with Madukha Tours. Williams helped us plan our itinerary very well. He answered all our questions and would respond promptly on whatsapp. Our tour guide Paul was very good as well. He went above and beyond to make sure we saw as many animals as possible. We booked this from US but it was a very smooth experience. Our lodges that William had booked were very clean and offered great service. Food was great. Only thing our vehicle land cruiser made a beep noise if exceeded speed limit. It needs to be fixed as it was constantly making noise during our trip. Other than that it was a great experience and we will highly recommend them.

Great service and fantastic communication from Madukha.
Our Safari holiday was an absolutely amazing experience. We saw the big 5 and so much more.
Our guide Bill was incredible, so accommodating and flexible.
The whole booking process was seamless, great communication via email from the outset.
The accommodation at all parks was very comfortable with good food.
Overall, we made memories that will last a lifetime, seeing these majestic animals in their own environment. Highly recommend.

Prompt response with nice itinerary
This company is very good with prompt response to my enquiry. They also help customised my itinerary so I can stay more time at the Masai Mara. Besides, the tour guide is very nice. He is also very experienced that can tell us different kinds of animals and how to differentiate them. The whole experience is good!

Extremely responsive and pulling every strings to create a dream safari experience
The experience started with the communication - William responded instantly even when we wrote in odd hours and made sure all our requests to customize the itinerary were taken care of. We opted for the land cruiser upgrade and it was well worth it.
When we arrived, we were picked up by our amazing driver and tour guide - vast experience and really knows how to create a good safari experience. He knew the parks inside out, knowing which areas to go to at what time to guarantee the best sightings. When he saw that we came with photo equipment he also made sure to position us in a way that grants the best photo opportunities. He also made sure to help us decide how to adjust the itinerary to get the best experience and best value for money.
Would highly recommend Madukha tours as this was not only the best value for money tour operator, but I am sure the experience was well above of what other, more expensive operators could have provided.

Very flexible and well organized. It made our trip very easy and enjoyable.
In July, I was accompanied by the Royal Family of Jaipur on a trip organised by Madukha Tours. Their professionalism provided us with the best experience, from the hotel to the game drives, the flights and everything in between. They made our time at the Mara very easy and effortless and we certainly got value for money. Moving forward, I’ll continue to use Madukha tours and for anyone reading this, I’d recommend them too because they are reliable in providing the best experience for you.
