Professional service with friendly and knowledgeable trips
We did the private Range Rover tour and stayed at Serena Lodge Amboseli. First, David was very helpful and communicative when we reached out for options and pricing. Prices were fair, and having now completed our safari was a great value for the money!
David met up the day of our safari and explained what we'd be doing, local customs on tipping, and introduced us to our guide, Cyrus. We got on the road - it is a long drive from Nairobi (5 hours), but it was pleasant and we stopped a little over halfway there. Cyrus was an excellent guide! We saw everything we wanted to see and then some. The accommodations were nice and the food was good. Staying INSIDE the park was the way to do it!
I highly recommend this tour. It was a short amount of time, but we got a lot out of it. Amboseli is beautiful and the elephants are EVERYWHERE! We saw so much other wildlife too - lion, cheetah, giraffe, water buffalo, flamingos, gazelle, zebra, hyena, secretary bird, hippos, baboons, and more.
The only thing I would do differently is skip the Maasai Village. They asked us for $70 USD when we arrived and then were upselling the whole time. The chief asked for more money once we were in the village. Then they showed us some medicine and asked if we wanted some. Then took us to a "market" of hand made items - nothing has prices, they want you to pick stuff and then "negotiate price" later. And later they wanted us to pay ALOT of money for the things we picked and the medicine. We said we didn't want any of it and they kept insisting we negotiate a price with them. We were exhausted by that time and really just wanted to leave - didn't feel authentic; felt like tourist trap. The Maasai at the resort give you a better feel for the Maasai culture and are super friendly. Plus, they do the traditional Maasai dance each night. As for local made souvenirs, we were able to get great local souvenirs at Village Market in Nairobi on our last night before our flight home.

Most recommended guide in Kenya
We had such a great experience with Chris. He took care of us, driving from Nairobi to Amboseli and 3 days game drives in the park. He was very helpful and caring with my disabled brother during the whole trip. We saw a lot of animals and he was very committed to make us happy with our experience. He always find the good spots to observe animals we were asking for. Thank you so much for your kindness and your knowledge. We recommend Chris strongly.

Reliable, competitive and customer focussed
We chose Native Africa Voyages through safari bookings.com because they responded to our request quickly and had taken into account fully our specifications. We were very pleased we did choose them. We had an excellent 7 day/6 night tour visiting Ol Pejeta, Meru and Samburu, parks we had not been to before. Our driver/guide was excellent. Accommodations were good and we saw numerous animals, including at least a dozen rhinos, Grevys zebra, lion and 5 cheetahs. Native Africa checked on our progress throughout our safari and communication between them and us was excellent. Can thoroughly recommend.

Amazing safari with a great operator
I initially requested quote for another day-trip inside Nairobi from Native Afrika Voyages and in the end decided to do a 2-day Masai Mara tour with them. The booking operator was kind and always available for all our questions during and after the booking. We were picked up from our hotel on time. All the places to stop and stretch our legs were carefully selected on this long route from Nairobi. Our driver/safari guide Chris was absolutely amazing. He was very knowledgable and passionate about the area and the animals living in it. He made extra effort to make sure we get to see the “big five” on this short trip. He has a great eye to spot wild animals and thanks to him we could see a leopard eating her meal on a tree and a lion-hippo standoff among others. He also made sure we stay hydrated during the whole trip under the sun. This was our first safari and it was a great experience. Thank you to the whole team who made it as smooth as it can be. I would definitely recommend booking with them.
