Amazing, local safari tour company with great service
We had an INCREDIBLE trip with Daniel Kisemei, our guide and driver. We took a six-day safari through Amboseli, Lake Nakuru, and Maasai Mara. In the short trip, we saw the Big Five, the Great Migration, and learned a lot about African culture from Daniel, who was born in the Maasai culture. He was extremely knowledgeable and could identify every animal/bird we saw on our trip. He is well educated on all aspects of Kenyan life, including politics, society, and more. I can't recommend him enough. He is a very sincere, genuine, and hardworking guide who will ensure your travel group has a great and safe experience.
Lencer, our travel coordinator, also did an excellent job. She was very responsive at all times. When a hotel had underdelivered on what was agreed up on, she quickly took action to advocate for us.
Awour Escapades is a great, small safari company. My friends and I would recommend them to any foreigners looking to travel to Kenya.

Attentive and responsive
My partner and I really enjoyed our 10 day trip in Kenya! This was our first safari, so we weren’t exactly sure what to expect. Lencer communicated with me off and on for weeks. She would answer my messages within minutes. I told her exactly what we wanted in our price range. Due to the last minute booking, we had to change several hotels. We were very happy with the hotel changes. She scheduled every little detail for us. The timing was great and we felt comfortable and not rushed. At the very last minute she set up a driver to take us to the Giraffe Center before our flight home.
Johnathon was our guide for the safari portion of the trip. He listened to what we were interested in and made sure to find the best locations. He was familiar with the animals and taught us about wildlife along the way. He was always on time and worked with our schedule. My partner and I love cats and Johnathon made it the main focus of our trip. We saw a pride of lions, a leopard eating a hyena and 3 separate cheetahs all in one day. We were lucky to see the big 5 and every single day we saw something very special.

Dreams came true with Awuor
I submitted several requests to different tour companies but picked Awuor based on the communications I initially had with Lencer.
She was quick to respond and always willing to guide and assist. She was also available to assist when we arrived and could not find the hotel transport. She relayed information to ensure we were taken care of. Thank you again!
Our Safari was guided by Jonathan. He was the best! His knowledge of the area, the people and of course the wildlife was above and beyond expectations. Each day we made a plan and he was able to adjust and accommodate any unexpected things that came up. He also taught us a little Swahili.
Jonathan was always anticipating the animals. He always seemed to have a sixth sense and knew where the animals would be. His sight was unbelievable. He could see things I couldn’t see with binoculars..ha! He heard elephants rumbling that I couldn’t hear and sure enough they were just around the corner!
This trip was a dream come true. We sat surrounded by a pride of lions, watched cheetahs from near and far, herds of elephants, encountered Hippos, Giraffes, Ostriches, Elands, Water Buffalo, and everything else imaginable. Jonathan knew every bird and their calls.
We also visited a Masai village where we were shown some of their traditional customs.
All in all the best trip ever! Everything was well coordinated and the Sopas and hotels were clean and comfortable. The people of Kenya were warm and friendly. I would recommend Awuor as a great tour company.
