Awuor Escapades and Henry put in the maximum effort to ensure you have the best possible trip.
While browsing this website, I was quite unsure about booking with an agency that had only 5 reviews (as I am sure many of you are). Well, let me put your worries to rest and confirm that if you book with Awuor Escapades, you will have a good time.
I had a 7 day mid range Niarobi - Masai Mara - Nakuru - Naivasha - Hell's Gate - Amboseli trip where I travelled alone and joined a group of other people to save money. This review focuses on this particular experience.
From what I learnt during the trip is that these group tours involve a lot of planning and logistics as every person inside your Van can potentially have a different itinerary and managing these logistics is where the agency comes into play. I had 3 different groups over the course of my journey and Henry managed to coordinate all the switches without me having to worry whether my tour would be disrupted.
Initially, I have received 3 quotations from different tour operators but it was Henry's proactiveness and dedication that made me choose Awuor Escapades. He instantly messaged me on whatsapp and was ready to answer every question. Moreover, when some of my accommodations were overbooked, he was helpful with arranging upgrades to prevent the trip from being disrupted and I greatly enjoyed every single place that I stayed in. Additionally, when my hot air balloon ride was overbooked, Henry managed to secure a spot for me within a matter of hours as this was a highly important experience that I did not want to miss. Finally, when booking your Safari, you will have an option of a Land Cruiser or a Minibus. While the Land Cruiser is obviously good, I would like to mention that the minibus is not bad at all as it's completely 4 wheel equipped and results in less motion sickness because it drives slower and doesn't bounce as much as the Land Cruiser. Naturally, it also has a pop up roof and when you see the animals, nothing else in the world is going to matter.
Overall, I would like to say a big thank you to Awuor Escapades and Henry in particular. He has managed my trip through the ups and downs, and even when I was having certain problems, he tried his best to resolve them as soon as possible which showed his flexibility, problem solving skills and dedication to his clients.
P.S. If you have the option of choosing a driver, I would recommend a man named Stanley.

Professional tour agency
I have every positive thing to say about this tour agency. Sam tailor-made a tour in accordance with our request. Their price was relatively lower as compared to other companies yet their services were never compromised. Sam came to meet us at the airport where he briefed us about our safari and handed us over to George who was going to be our guide. George is a talented story teller and a keen driver. Since we took a private tour, he allowed us to decide when we wanted to go out for game drives. He was always ready to help whenever we didn't understand something or had challenges. My family is happy and we thank Awuor Escapades for making our dream safari come true. We recommend this company to anyone planning to visit Kenya.

RELIABLE AND AFFORDABLE TOUR OPERATOR
Awuor escapades delivered the promise they made to us. Our 7 day trip covering Masai mara, Amboseli, Lake Naivasha and Lake Nakuru was successful and we enjoyed every bit of it.
Henry planned everything and our guide, John delivered exactly what was planned. He was patient, a good listener and would consult us from time to time before making decisions. We saw all the Big 5 among other wild animals and birds. Our hotels were comfortable and foods were delicious, not to mention welcoming staff.
I highly recommend Awuor escapades!

Knowlegable,Very Professional,Time Keeper,Convinient & Very Affordable
We chose Awuor Escapades for safari, because they offered most suitable custom safari for me, my husband and our 4 year old son, moreover, their prices were 30% lower for the same itinerary compared to the other big tour operators.
We were really happy about our guide and driver John. We thought he was a newbie (looking very young ;) ), but we found out that he was an experienced guide working in the business for 7 years!
John is a really good driver (we felt very safe) and he is an adventure seeker, due to his effort and persistence, we managed to encounter a male lion in one meter distance protecting his resting lioness. What a memory!! And I am not talking about his effort during all the trip to meet all big 5!
He was also very patient with our toddler, who used to get bored during long trips.
Thanks for great experience!
Much recommended!
