Overall a Average Safari
Overall, the experience was average. There are some important points that need improvement.
Negative aspects:
The main issue was the scheduling and travel times. According to the itinerary, on the first day we were supposed to arrive at Masai Mara around lunchtime and have a game drive in the afternoon. However, we only arrived at 4 PM, and the park closed at 6:30 PM.
On the third day, we travelled from Masai Mara to Amboseli Park, and the journey took much longer than expected. The proposal mentioned we would arrive around lunchtime, but we only got there at 6 PM, with the park closing at 7 PM.
As a result, on those days we barely had any time for safari activities, even though we paid the park entrance fees. At one point, we were even advised to go straight to the accommodation instead of entering the park, but the entrance fee would not have been refunded.
This was quite disappointing for us, as we were expecting plenty of time for game drives, but ended up spending too much time on the road instead.
About the organization:
Peter, who handled all the arrangements, always replied quickly to our messages, which we appreciated. However, at the same time, it often felt like he wasn’t fully attentive or dedicated to our questions. During the trip, he was not flexible when we raised concerns about the limited time we had in the parks, which added to our frustration.
Positive aspects:
Our driver and guide, Songe, was good. He really tried his best to make up for the lost time and to follow the itinerary as planned. As he mentioned, the people who design the itineraries are in the office and don’t really understand the reality of travelling on the ground.
The accommodations were also very good and matched our expectations. And, of course, the safari itself - the game drives - were fantastic. Our driver worked very hard to show us all the animals, and that made the experience truly memorable.

Awesome local-run tour company with a knowledgeable team.
We had a great private tour for our safari. They coordinated our stay in Nairobi the first night, picked us up the next morning, and then drove us out to the Maasai Mara for the Wildlife Tour. Our driver, David, was an experienced driver with over 20 years as a tour driver. I highly suggest visiting Lake Nivasha for the “Walking Safari” as well. I would recommend you to be confirm your arrangements via email and you may have to reach out to your hotels directly for a peace of mind, but this company is legit and their pricing was fair. I would definitely book with them again.

The best in Kenya
Big Tom is our guide for the exciting 8 days journey. He is experienced and knowledgeable about the safaris. He keeps finding different species for us to see and promised us to see the Big 5, which we accomplished it in the 6th day.
Hotels, vehicles, everything is above standard. I would definitely suggest this tour to everyone.

2) Making sure we get to all big 5 and more
3) Our driver was Denis and he made our safaris and game drives memorable. Took us everywhere and made sure we are safe . Provided nice information while game drives about animal ,birds and vegetation

An unforgettable safari experience with Park season
We had an amazing safari experience in Kenya, organised by Peter’s Peak Season Africa Safaris. Right from the beginning, everything was handled so well. He even recommended a great hotel in Nairobi before our safari started, guided us through the visa process, and was always quick to respond to any questions. His attention to detail made the whole trip smooth and stress-free.
A special mention must go to our driver and guide, John (Wamaria). He is truly outstanding – immensely knowledgeable, caring, and an extraordinary spotter of wildlife. We learned so much about Kenya’s wildlife, culture, and history from him. He made sure we were well looked after throughout the safari, and his passion for his work really shone through.
Kenya itself is simply brilliant – breathtaking landscapes, abundant wildlife, and the warmest, most welcoming people. It is every wildlife lover’s paradise.
We cannot recommend Peter and Peak Season highly enough. If you’re considering a safari, this is the team you want to travel with!

Provided a great safari experience!
Our safari experience with Peak Seasons was great - beyond our expectations. It truly provided once-in-a-lifetime memories. In particular our driver Sebastian was fantastic at making sure we saw the animals we wanted to see. Every day the Land Rover showed up clean and ready for the day's drive. We saw an amazing variety of animals and their behaviors in the wild.
Sebastian was very skilled at finding animals, and positioning the vehicle so we could get good looks, or be in the right place so the animals would literally walk right past us (within feet of the vehicle). We didn't need expensive cameras or even binoculars to get close-up views and photos! Animals that were within 10 feet of the vehicle included gazelles, zebras, lions, elephants, giraffes, and cheetahs.
The complete tour included more than just the game drives, which were awesome, but also additional exceptional experiences. These included a balloon ride over the savanna of Maasai Mara, a walking Safari, a night-time game drive, and a visit to a Maasai village.
The lodges and camps we stayed at were all great. All food was included, the rooms were comfortable, and the grounds and environment and were exciting and memorable.
Considering what we paid, and the experiences we had, I consider this one of the best vacations my wife and I have taken. I would definitely book with them again, and plan to recommend them to any friends and family planning on doing an African safari.

Superb.. and awesome management
The hotel was good and truely an adventurous tour, no words for safari…. A dream come true. Never the this image of heaven in earth
Helpful, knowledgeable and fun !
I went for this tour August of this year, and had so much fun. Wasn’t expecting to be able to see so many animals so close to the car. Our tour guide would communicate to other cars that would pass by and exchange information about animal sightings and that made it so much easier for us to be able to see so many animals on our ride. Towards the end of the trip I’ve also dropped my earphones underneath of the seats unknowingly but the company managed to ship it from Kenya all the way to Kuala Lumpur in a couple of days. The service and hospitality we received on this trip was unmatched and I hope to be able to come again :)
Awesome and recommendable.
Safari was outstanding. Sebastian was our guide and driver and he made certain we saw many species—-most of which were close enough for great photos. We toured Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Ambosali, (with a night at Lake Navasha also.).
The tour was a great value and I highly recommend.
Ask for Sebastian. He made it happen. He was there at the right time, helpful, friendly, informative and not overly chatty. He has a good rapport with other guides as well which helped us in seeing more animals and with efficient use of time. He knew the parks: For example, on the second day in Maasai Mara, he knew when we were in the territory of one of the prides of lions, and searched for bushes with enough shade and found four younger males sleeping in the mid-day sun. After we took pictures, he radioed some of the other guides. Sebastian is the one you want.
