An Awsome Safari Experience
4/5

Despite having minor hiccups on travel arrangements i.e. changing vehicles and guides/drivers quite often due to logistics and shared vehicles, all other itemised arrangements were delivered accordingly.

Benson is my point of contact and the person who made all my 7N/8D Kenya Safari Tour arrangements

Prior to making any bookings, ask as much questions as possible in particular any additional charges for changes or extras you have requested that differs from the itinerary etc. And if affordable, get upgrades from the tented camps that can be very basic from stay to food provided. Even with upgraded accomdations, that doesn't mean creepy crawlies or lizards are at bay, so be prepared.

My comment to the accommodation is please have City Max Hotel in Lake Nakuru changed to another option as the hotel is less than desired despite food was very nice with generous portions and its staff were every accommodating and pleasant.

After numerous of vehicles and guides / drivers changed, James Muteti, is my favourite as he is not only knowledgeable but also very patience and attentive. All gudes and drivers that I had encountered, had definitely went the extra miles to ensure that we see as many wildlife as possible.

Kindly also ensure you have all the guides' / drivers' contacts during your trip to enable any communications when needed. Also please bear in mind if you are not on a private tour, then you are sharing vehicle or transport with other fellow tourists. Therefore please be mindful and be punctual as when you are late, you will also delay others.

That's what happened to me on 2 days, on both occasions some other tourists decided to retimed their own breakfast holding back their pickups resulting in me waiting 40 minutes for mine!! And all these delays resulted in us cutting back on time allocated for other things in the day or guides / drivers driving at high speed or rerouting to catch up on the time in addition to arriving very late at another destination on travel days. So at times the delays are not fault of the guides / drivers but are other inconsiderate tourists.

Many thanks to Benson, and all the guides/ drivers on my this trip, David, Kennedy, James, Gabriel, Eric and Kim in keeping me safe and making my safari experience an awesome one.

Fabulous safari tour operator.
5/5

We booked from the UK & it was amazing. Thank you. We chose the parks & Benson created a package for us. The guides met us at Voi train station & we drove through Tsavo East, West & Amboseli up to Nairobi. Wow it was fabulous. Chet was uber experienced & spotted loads. First time safari for me & I loved it, highly recommend.

Competitive pricing, Sincere treatment, High-quality service
5/5

This safari offers excellent value for money. Compared to other safari tour companies, their prices are much more affordable. Additionally, the owner treats guests like family and is honest and trustworthy.

And very thank you to the staff at the company for their understanding and excellent service. Even though I missed the scheduled safari on the reserved date, they still allowed me to rebook the safari for the next day. According to the policy, the deposit was non-refundable if I failed to show up on the agreed date, but instead of keeping the deposit, they only asked me to pay the remaining amount. I truly appreciate the staff's kindness and flexibility. This safari company treats their guests like family, making it a choice I would highly recommend to my friends.

Nice joined safary in Amboseli
5/5

Very friendly and helpful staff, rather comfortable car for safary, good driver, who tried his best to show us as much animals as he could, even driving very fast, to catch the moment 😊
On of the managers meat me at hotel before safary started, took to the place where safary starts, helpted me to catch the night bus to another city after the end of the trip (Peter, thanks a lot for your kindness and care).
The food in the camp was okey, big tent with the sbower inside.
I can recommend this agency to have good emotions and nice memories of your safary in Kenya.

Value for money experience.
4/5

We had booked 7 days and 6 Night Masai Mara - Naivasha - Nakuru - Amboseli Safari. It was a standard package offered by Safari operators in Kenya in budget category. Communication with Benson was smooth, camps were basic and you get what you paid for. In our case, plan was changed a little bit, we were first taken to Naivasha and then to Masai Mara to suit economics of operator (since there were not enough people on first day for Masai Mara), this is something shouldn't have happened as we wanted to spend 31st evening watching sunset in lake Naivasha.

Camp/Stays Ratings:

Naivasha - 3/5 (Food was average for vegetarians)

Nakuru - 3.5/5 (Basic City Hotel with good food but no good wifi)

Masai Mara - 3.5/5 (Basic Facilities, good food)

Amboseli - 4/5 (Excellent and Spacious Camp).

We were 6 to 7 People in Mini Van ( Should have been strictly 6) and people would join and leave as per their itinerary. We were with guide Clinton and he did a good job.

I would recommend this agency, as our experience was good.

Safari in Maasai Mara
5/5

I leave for the Maasai Mara, with the Tall Masai Safari. I found it by internet. I have to say that the experience was great, and Joseph the driver, was superb. We could see all the Big 5, and so many other animals.
