Fun safari and good service
The safari was more than expected, very exciting experience to see all the animals up close and the national parks are breath taking. KWSS service is good, the guides are friendly, knowledgeable and led us to very good viewing spots. KWSS is also very flexible, trying to adapt and do their best to change the program to meet our needs. Their guide /driver Martin was the best. The only negative, their cook and cuisine were below par.
We will recommend KWSS to our friends.
wonderful wildlife - quite an adventure
The safari experience was great - wonderful, incredible wildlife - 2 day Masai Mara trip (overnight camp) and half day in Nairobi National Park - saw everything we wanted to see. Peter, our driver, looked after us well and he was very skilled at both driving off road and in finding the wildlife. Minor quibble, but water and T shirt was not provided despite being specified - check with owner, Mr Otieno, very carefully what is included and not included in the price.

EVERYTHING WE ASKED FOR
We booked a 4 day safari and had an amazing time. Mohammed the driver and Jacob the cook were very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. The accommodations were comfortable and the sights were amazing. The roads were a bit bumpy at times, but we were out in the middle of no-where so ...
Anyway, if you want a good safari experience, I would recommend Kenya Walking Survivors.

Incredible experience at a great value
We had a great experience with Kenya Walking Survivors. We did the 7-Day Kenya Nairobi and Tanzania Serengeti National Park tour. First and foremost, the owner of the company, Otieno, is a true professional. He was always very responsive and called me personally when I first submitted a request for information. Additionally, when our flight was delayed by a day, I was easily able to reach Otieno and he was happy to accommodate us. He reorganized our itinerary so that we were still able to see everything that we had planned to see--just in one less day. Our guide, Mike, was also very personable as was the chef that traveled with us, David. Mike ensured that we got to see as many animals as possible and was understanding of my desire to take a TON of great pictures. He sat and waited patiently while I got the perfect shots. Finally, the amount we paid for the adventure we had was extremely reasonable, especially in comparison to other tour operators. I think Kenya Walking Survivors is able to charge such reasonable fees because the company is locally owned and operated. Also, it was easy to see that Otieno is very hardworking and does much of the work himself so he has very little overhead. There are just a few small reasons that I am giving four stars instead of five. Based on the itinerary, we thought a stop at Olduvai Gorge was included in our tour but it was not. Mike stopped for us anyway, we just had to pay an extra park entry fee. Also, our tent had a hole in it. This wasn't that big of a deal but I was somewhat concerned about mosquitoes getting in. Finally, there could have been a bit more variety in the food that was prepared for us. Don't get me wrong, the food was very good, it just seemed that the same sauce was served each night with a different starch and protein. Overall, as I titled this review, we had an incredible experience at a great value!

Great safari
We were 2 full days at masai mara which was AMAZING!
Great lodge, Great food. OT upgraded us for 1 more night at the lodge.
The next day we spent at lake Naivasha which was a failure.
We are sorry for not be more accurate when we booked the safari regarding the schedule of that day.
It was a boring day and a waste of time.
The price OT gave us was the most attractive offer after checking with many operators.
OT is the reason we will close our next safari with KWS..
He is very nice and kind man and he gives you the feeling you are in a good hands.

Good experience in Kenya.
Driver is very kind and experienced. Animal is too much and scene is very nice. Food is just ok and the accommodation is also expressed.

Super Safari with very nice staff
We had a very good time with KWSS !
Mr. Otieno is very professional and answered quickly to our emails and questions which is a very good quality when you are not used to book such holidays on internet !
There, the staff (Mike as guide, and John as cook) was very kind to us and very helpful ! Our guide was very patient, letting us taking picture for long time, teaching us many things about nature and local culture.
The staff is very punctual so you never wait ! (even at 6:00 am for sunrise !!)
One thing is that the program has been a little bit changed from the initial plan. However, we could adapt it during the trip !
We had an unforgettable time ! The country is wonderful and KWSS helped us to discover it in very good conditions ! do not hesitate ! :)
