Very good
We booked a 7 days safari with native Afrika voyages in the beginning of september. We chose a mid-range accommodation pack, and it was a private tour just for our group of 4 people.
It was a fantastic experience, i have no words. Our guide Cyrus was a man with knowledge about animals and different areas, and had great humor. He had an eye for hidden animals. Cyrus was as interested as us to find cool animals, such as different cat species. We were lucky and saw all the cat species several times!
We went to samburu national reservation, Oi pejeta Conservancy, Lake Naivasha and Masaai mara national reserve. Our favorite places was with out a doubt Samburu and Masaai mara. We would not use a day at Oi pejeta, its a closed in area with animals. Not like the reserves. Lake naivasha was OK, this is more a place for bird enthusiast. We would rather have one day extra in samburu and Masaai mara than Oi pejeta and lake naivasha.
Our accommodations were good in samburu, Oi pejeta and Masaai mara. But it was really bad in Lake Naivasha. The hotel was not mid range. It smelled like poo in some of the rooms. In the bathroom, the tiles were broken, the toilet was broken and it did not have a seat. The bathroom has rat poo several places. It was not mid range as we had payed for. I sent a complaint to David. We god a discount when visiting the Masaai people. The hotel name was fish eagle inn, i wouldnt recommend you to stay there if you pay for midrange.
The food was good, a variety of different cultural kitchens.
I would recommend native afrikan voyages, and i would travel with them again!
Again, thank you Cyrus for being an awesome guide!

Fantastic
My girlfriend and I only had the day during a layover, so got a private tour including nairobi national park safari drive, elephant orphanage and giraffe centre visits, which was perfect for the time we had. From the outset the communication was excellent during booking. Airport pick-up was smooth as you like. Anthony and Jackie were incredibly friendly and accommodating throughout. They managed to show us all the animals you’d expect from a safari and some we didn’t. They left just the right amount of time for us to observe each animal and went above and beyond to show us round the park. They shared knowledge on the animals and always communicated with us regarding whether we wanted to stop and observe something or continue on. It was just the most special time for us and we appreciated they understood and accommodated this. Would highly recommend Native Afrika Voyages.

We were mesmerized by the beautiful nature and wild animals in Lake Naivasha & Masai Mara with Chris
We were able to see lions, cheetahs, zebras, elephants, giraffes and so forth just for three days. Chris was our guide and he was such a kind and helpful person with a wide range of knowledge about animals. Communication with the company to discuss the plan was very smooth and quick. I highly recommend this company and Chris as your tour guide in particular!

Chris was fantastic! Very attentive to his job and great manners!
Our trip to Masai Mara would’ve not been the same without our amazing driver Chris!
We were there for 3 days and saw absolutely every safari animal multiple times! Chris was attentive, friendly and very knowledgeable.
Chris always pushed himself to find more and more animals. He was constantly looking out the window to find new animals to show us (Baring in mind he was the driver as well)! Whilst he drove he was looking outside and managed to even find animals as small as turtles and snakes in the water! we feel very lucky to have had Chris as our guide in Masai Mara and believe our experience would’ve not been the same without him. His main focus and priority was our experience. As well as being punctual he also would go over time on the game drives. We saw the big 5 and multiple other animals! As well as a Pride of lions and a lion feed! We were very fortunate to see the big 5 as we was only there 3 days but I 100% believe this was due to Chris being very focused on his job. He strived to give us the best experience.
I wish I had more money to tip him! He deserved $100+ as guides with experience like his charge more than this!
Wonderful experience and will definitely be recommending all my friends and family to Chris.
(We stayed in Serena hotel and was given Chris as our guide. I will add Chris mobile number for anyone wanting to book with him directly or speak to him, he will not disappoint!)

Fantastic Safari encounter
At first, we asked David for an estimate for his 7-day, 6-night Safri package. We developed a great vacation package that included the best camps in the Wild Reserve, fair pricing, and visits to Samburu, Ol Pejeta, Lake Naivasha, and Masai Mara. After picking us up from the airport, David explained our itinerary, the tipping practices in the area, and introduced us to Antony, our guide.In addition to his extensive knowledge, Antony was passionate about the area and its fauna. We saw a tower of giraffes, a lion pursuing a hyena, a leopard savouring its meal, and hippos thanks to his keen sense of vision.He made sure the trip was something to remember by taking extra care of us.
We are grateful to the Native Afrika Voyages staff for making our experience seamless and unforgettable.

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.

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.

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.
