The best Safari tour organiser in Nairobi
5/5


I had a great experience with Masai Mara Safari arranged by Premier Safaris, Nairobi. Right from approaching their office, until the end of the trip every moment I felt comfortable, safe and they arranged the trip with the most economic prices possible with best facilities available. I really appreciate Premier Safaris to give me such a wonderful experience and I recommend them to my circle of people for every travel need in Kenya.
I specially thank Mr. Maurice who was my assigned tour executive ... Trinath

The best operator.
5/5

In the end of June, me and my my husband went on safari with Premier Safaris. It was a long wanted jurney.

The whole comunication with Cynthia and Mourice was so easy. They made all the organization and made sure that we will have the best experience. Both where so warmwhelming - always making sure that we are okay. We wanted to visit four parks for nine days and they managed to do it.

And now for the most amazing guide that eixsts in this world - Davido. I don't have words to say how thankful we are for him. He was always there for us and everything that we want. Davido gave us information not only for the parks, animals and nature, but also for Kenya - the people, production, history and all you can imagine. He taught us about every animal - from the big, to the small ones. Davido made sure that we will be on the first line of the event, every time. We saw cheetahs hunt - succesfull hunt, lions hunting, eating they pray. A LOT OF elephants(not only). In Amboseli he... Read more show us Kilimanjaro, and elephants crossing the road bellow the mountain. I don't know how this man managed to see animals so far from us. He made sure that we will see whatever there is to see. His driving skills are beyond amazing.
In Masai Mara, we went on a picnic, which was really exciting experience. One of my dreams - to wake up from a lion roar, do came true. Sleeping in a tented camp was also something unbelivable - we really were on a safari in the wild.

Let's not forget and Julius(sorry, if I misspronounse it). Last day was for city tour in Nairobi. He knows so much for this city, and not only. He show us the most important buildings in the centre. We visited Kenyatta International Convention Centre where we had 360 view of the city.
We also visited Giraffe Centre and Karen Blixen's Museum.

Asante, Premier Safaris. The whole team made us feel like home.
You are the best.

Once in a Lifetime Trip to Kenya
5/5

My husband and I went on an 11 day trip with Premier Safaris and had an incredible experience. Our tour guide was Cynthia and our driver was Timothy. Both ensured we had a once in a lifetime experience in Kenya!

When we arrived in Kenya, we had the sad realization that we left our camera battery at home. Cynthia immediately started searching diligently for a store with our battery in stock and a courier who could deliver it to a destination along our route. I was amazed at how fast we were able to get the battery, without which I wouldn't have been able to take incredible photos of all the wildlife.

From Ol Pejeta, to Lake Elementaita/Nakuru, Masai Mara, Lake Navaisha, and finally Diani Beach, Cynthia tailored our itinerary to ensure we saw all the most amazing sights that Kenya has to offer with beautiful accommodations and good food. Meanwhile our driver Timothy worked hard to ensure we saw the Big 5 (and then some!). The highlight was definitely a leopard that we spotted... Read more in Masai Mara, with her 2 cubs.

I absolutely recommend going on a trip with Premier Safaris. I especially recommend Cynthia and Timothy, who made our trip one we will never forget!

Incredible Kenya Safari Adventure - 5 stars!
5/5

Our safari in Kenya was a truly remarkable experience. We visited the stunning Masai Mara, serene Lake Naivasha, the impressive Ol Pejeta Conservancy, and the beautiful Diani Beach. Our safari driver was outstanding, working tirelessly to position us for up-close encounters with the iconic Big Five and countless other wildlife.

The standout of our trip was the exceptional service provided by our travel agent, Cynthia. She carefully curated an itinerary tailored to our interests and checked in frequently before and during the safari to ensure we had the best possible experience. Cynthia's personalized attention and commitment to exceeding our expectations made this an unforgettable journey.

I highly recommend this Kenya safari to anyone seeking an authentic, wildlife-filled adventure. The stunning landscapes, abundant animals, and first-class support from Cynthia combined to create a once-in-a-lifetime experience.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Personal attention to each client and detail!
5/5

A great team that dealt with every aspect of our request.
I take this opportunity to thank so much to Premier Safari for arranging us a wonderful Safari tour in Kenya in June 2024.
This tour in largely fulfilled our expectations.
We extend our special thanks to Maurice Abuli who arranged and tailormade the entire tour as per our timelines, budget and aspirations. He provided advise that really added to the experience. We also loved the welcome at the airstrip - he knows how to set the tone of a Safari. And … e never left us hungry :-)
We were really lucky to get Pako, our tour guide, who accompanied us in Samburu, Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha and Amboseli.
We were really lucky to see and capture “Big 5.
And the unique opportunity to observe from very close a lion pride with three cubs. It was the most exciting experience for us on this safari. Thank you, Pako.
We also visited Nairobi and Diani Beach.
I fly every one of the preserves except... Read more for Lake Naishawa, which just wasn't our place. But this is a subjective feeling.
In Nairobi we received the best personal care and service we have ever had from Maurice Abuli. Thank you, Maurice.

We did not anticipate the pleasant gifts they had for us!! We each got a Masai blankets, safari hats and my kids favorite the beautiful hot tea flasks!!! Our vehicles were stocked with healthy snacks and plenty of water as we headed to Amboseli!! Absolutely amazing reception!!

Everyone who helped us make plans was extremely kind and understanding to all our wishes
5/5

Everywhere we went the people were very hospitable and understanding and as we are Indians and wanted a little bit of our own comfort food all the hotels we went to catered to our requirements and executed it perfectly. Our safari drivers took us wherever we wanted and made sure we saw all the animals we wanted to. Overall I would definitely book premium safari’s because they satiate all your wants and needs.

Amazing and unforgettable 12-day private safari
5/5

When my husband and I began our search for a company to organize our dream safari in Kenya, we reached out to more than 20 companies on Safari Bookings with specific questions. We had a clear vision of what we wanted to experience and needed a reliable partner to make it happen.

Premier Safaris stood out immediately. They were the only company to provide precise and thoughtful answers to all our questions, rather than a clichéd template answer, which made us feel confident in choosing them. From the very beginning, communication was very smooth and efficient. Every request we had for the itinerary, schedule and accommodations was fulfilled. Unlike others, they didn't try to push additional activities or different accommodations on us, which we greatly appreciated.

We began our communication with Cynthia Ngeso, exchanged numerous emails, refining every detail of our 12-day private safari in Kenya. The responsiveness of Premier Safaris was exceptional, even on weekends and... Read more late into the night. We later learned that due to the nature of their work, there is a 24/7 on-call employee available for customers.

We had arranged to meet our guide and a company representative on the day of our arrival at 6:30 AM at our hotel. We finished our breakfast at 6:31 and they were already waiting for us in the lobby. This level of punctuality and professionalism continued throughout our entire trip. Our guide was never late; he was always at the designated place before us, waiting.

At our first meeting, we were surprised with a gift bag from Premier Safaris, containing Maasai blankets (shuka), safari hats and thermoses with the company’s logo for me and my husband. These thoughtful gifts added a personal touch and will be a beautiful memory of our Kenyan adventure.

Our guide David, whom everyone called Davido, was nothing short of amazing. He was polite, attentive and had a wonderful sense of humor - always smiling, making our journey enjoyable and fun. While traveling between the national parks, he shared information about the local culture and landscape. In the parks, his knowledge of the terrain, vegetation, animals and birds was impressive. He had an incredible ability to spot wildlife from afar and identify birds by their silhouette. His driving skills were superb, effortlessly navigating through river fords and muddy terrains, helping out stranded colleagues on several occasions.

Davido was extremely determined to show us all the animal species we hoped to see. And he succeeded! Thanks to his quick thinking, we witnessed the Big Five and had multiple close encounters with cheetahs. On our last day in Masai Mara, he went above and beyond, crossing back and forth a very steep and slippery rocky ford on the Talek river several times so we could finally see a leopard. The search for cheetah and leopard in Masai Mara was filled with adrenaline and made our stay truly memorable. Davido had an incredible skill for positioning us at the best spots possible, even when more than 30 jeeps had already gathered at the location, so that the action unfolded right in front of us and we could take beautiful pictures, unobstructed from the other bystanders, which is very valuable during a safari. His passion and expertise as a guide were unparalleled.

After our safari, we met with Cynthia at our hotel to share our feedback. She wanted to get feedback on how the safari went and our impressions of each accommodation we chose. Cynthia is cheerful and very pleasant. She was extremely friendly with us. At our first meeting and when we said goodbye, she hugged us and was sincere in her emotions..

They then took us to the company office in Nairobi's business center, near the Parliament. At the modern and inviting office we met several of the Premier Safaris team members, who were working late. We spent some time with the team, making sure to thank each and every one of them for the amazing job they had put into the organization of our memorable and flawless vacation. We then met with the company managers - the Executive Director Windress Apiyo and the Director Operations Charlton Andati, who welcomed us as dear friends and personally made sure that we were completely satisfied and all our expectations from this trip were met. When we decided to head back to the hotel, they tried to organize an Uber ride for us and when they couldn’t find an available driver, Mr Charlton Andati himself drove us back to our hotel in his personal car.

Davido, if you read this, we want to express our immense gratitude for everything you did for us during these 12 days. Your dedication to making sure we saw the big cats and your incredible guiding skills made our trip extraordinary.

To the entire Premier Safaris team, thank you for organizing our vacation flawlessly. There wasn't a single hitch during our 12-day stay, and that speaks volumes about your dedication and professionalism. We are demanding travelers and have high standards, our demands are not easy to meet but you exceeded our expectations in every way.

Special thanks to Cynthia for her patience, kindness, and professionalism from the very beginning. You were always there for us, ready to assist with anything we needed.

Without hesitation, we wholeheartedly recommend Premier Safaris to anyone looking to have an unforgettable experience in Kenya. We are thrilled we trusted them, and they surpassed our every expectation!

We were met as valued customers and parted as friends!

Asante sana and be safe! We will meet again!

It was customized accordingly to my family suitability and we had great time to see real Africa…From start to end they have arranged everything very minutely so we had entire trip without any hassle with my 2 year daughter and 11 year son…Most amazing was both camp site location and ambiance. All staffs were very supportive and they took special care for Indian food …Bush Dinner was show stopper with dinner under open sky …Our Safari guide come driver won hearts the way he showed real wildlife and true essence of African Safari ….Premier Safari staffs were always there for help weather its booking,visa or travel etc…I highly recommend to consider them for your amazing experience of Safari in Africa for family or friends … “If I have ever seen magic, it has been in Africa.”
