Amazing vacation!!
Kenya walking survivors tour was above and beyond what my family expected. They quickly responded once I put an inquiry with safari bookings (which is a great search engine I must say). From their the owner OT, was on top of our email conversations and was able to make the upgrades we requested. He even took the time to call me several times to answer any questions . I felt confident that Mr. Ot was going to deliver what he promised. Once we landed he had one of his drivers Sami meet us at the airport. From their he took us to meet with OT, and he briefed us on what to expect. It was a pleasure to meet him. From their we were driven to our hotel that we booked the night before the safari started. He didn't have to include this and he did. We greatly appreciated this. The next morning , we met our driver who would be with us for the next 9 days, Sam. Words can't express how impressed we were with his knowledge, education and professionalism. We loved our driver!! Sam was super patient and caring. We were a party of 6 and my husband and I where with our 4 kids. Couldn't have done it without such a nice guy. All of our lodges were superb and the food at these lodges were great. All in all for a budget safari I felt like I was on a 7 star luxury safari. In fact all those fancy tour companies stayed at the same place. The key with KWAS is that their is no middle man. Super impressed I definetly recommend KWSS. Super professional and our expectations were by far exceeded. They were above and beyond. I promise to recommend this company to my friends and family. Hopefully, in a few years we can go back to Kenya and use KWSD.

The Great Migration
The trip was absolutely amazing! I loved every minute of it and was sad to leave. Your country is beautiful but even more beautiful are the people. Everyone was so incredible kind and accommodating!
John, our guide, was superb. He was so friendly, kind, helpful, and made us feel extremely safe.
The hot air balloon and the visit to the Masai tribe was our favorite memories.
I have already recommended your company to several friends. You are very good at communicating, your itinerary was excellent, and everything you state would happen was exactly as you planned. I have also mentioned to friends to request John as I think he was part of the reason we enjoyed the trip to much! Thank you again for everything.

Trip of a lifetime
It is difficult to describe how amazing the safari was with Kenya Walking! Each day was filled with safaris and sites to see. Every time I look though the pictures - all 4500 of them - I feel as though I am reliving the trip. The communications with the company were timely and clear. I couldn't ask for better drivers - Benson and Abassi. We were fortunate to meet Sammy as well and Jacob, our cook the first couple of nights. He cooked some of the best meals we had all week! The sleeping accommodations were good - the Sarengeti was my absolute favorite. Make sure to bring enough cash, as access to it can be difficult.

Wonderful Safari Experience
We went for a six day safari with Anthony and Sam and overall the experience has exceeded my expectations. Anthony is very experience and easygoing. He showed us lions and leopards for several times, all very closely. This is something I have never experience in my previous Safaris. Sam is a superb cook. He can cook an amazingly delicious meal using very simple ingredient. He would also wake up very early to prepare food for us. I would strongly recommend Kenya Walking Survivor to any people who is interested in having some unforgettable memory in Kenya.
Awsome experience!!!
I would like to thank Mr. Otieno and, of course, our driver Yaveth (I don´t know how to write it, sorry) for all the trip they organiced for us.It was such a great and amazing experience that we hope repeat soon!!!!!
The hotels, the safaris, the places we visited... everything was perfect!!
Thank you again.
Wish you the best

Great (second) safari trip with KWSS - highly recommended!
This was my second safari trip organized with KWSS Ltd. The trip was three days, two nights, and Mr. Otieno and his team managed to accommodate my schedule perfectly, and to customize the itinerary to visit two parks, Amboseli and Tsavo West. We were guided by Benson, who had great knowledge of the parks and animals, and we managed to see quite a lot of fauna. Finally, accommodation was great, in a lodge facing Mt. Kilimanjaro (in Amboseli) and a hotel structure in Tsavo that was straight into the park. I would definitely travel again with KWSS due to the much better price compared to the competition, and the high quality of service offered.

Excellent Experience, Best Guide in the World
My husband and I booked a Safari + extension to Zanzibar trip and everything went very well. We were received by Mr. Otieno in the very first day when everything about the program was explained.
The major plus goes to Samuel, our guide, that was excellent. He knew a lot about the wildlife and was very friendly and funny.
In Zanzibar everything smoothly as well.
Very good hotels apart from just one night, which was overcomed by the rest of the entire amazing experience.

Fantastic - couldn't fault a thing
Kenya is a beautiful country and it was made even more so by the expert knowledge and friendly disposition of our guide Anthony. With just a few days to spare following a business trip, we managed to squeeze in Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha and the Maasai Mara - and none of the parks disappointed. Our lodge and campsite were comfortable and well-appointed, and the food - cooked fresh by our cook Sam who came along with us - far surpassed expectations. Within just two days we had already seen the Big Five up close - including black and white rhinos - along with cheetahs, leopards, hippos, crocodiles... the list goes on! Our guide Anthony had the eyes of a hawk - navigating bumpy roads with great skill while still spotting lions hiding in long grass. It was a trip of a lifetime and I can't recommend Kenya Walking Survivors Safaris enough (and make sure to ask if Anthony and Sam are free!)
