Great experience and excellent customer service
Kenya Walking Survivors Safaris organized a safari tour and a Kilimanjaro trek for us, inclusive of all the transfers between the 2 places We were really happy with the experience. The customer service was great! Mr. Otieno was very responsive at all times, night or day. The company is also very flexible and cares for the customers needs. The accommodation and food provided was up to our expectations too! I strongly recommend this tour operator!

very personal service
I arranged a tour to Lake Naivasha through Kenya Walking Survivor's Safaris. I was the only person on the tour this day and the company was very helpful in arranging it to suit my interests and needs. I highly recommend including the optional hippo boat trip on the lake. We saw dozens of hippos, as well as birds, zebras, and giraffes. Unfortunately, we weren't able to walk with the animals at the crater due to buffalo in the area, but the hike was still beautiful! Overall it was a great tour by a friendly and accommodating company!

Kenya with Kenya walking, great experience!
I visited Kenya in June first week with Kenya Walking and undoubtedly it was a great experience. Not only where are safaris amazing but the guides were extremely enthusiastic and helpful. I would also like to recommend Jacob who was our cook for the entire tour. I would go to the extent of saying that his food was far more delicious than our buffets in luxury hotels. Mr. Otieno was very helpful in suggesting us the best places to visit in our limited duration trip. Except a few organizational level issues(which i think is very common), there is nothing I can complain about. Overall it was an amazing experience! Cheers!
Fantastic and memorable.
We had a great time - with 25 of my fellow colleagues from Eagle media company. The trip to Amboseli National Park was a lifetime event. Thanks to the Kenya walk team for making the trip more than what anyone would have ever wished for. In future if we arrange for any other team building event kenya walk will surely be our choice.I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone planning a trip to Amboseli National Park.Thanks so much

Ngorongoro, Serengeti and Meru National Park
We had a very good time on safari with KenyaWalking. The safari was well organized and the guides Jeromiah and Clement made sure that we saw a lot of animals. The safari itself met our expectations to the highest. Timing for the driving can however be improved a bit :-).

Ugandan experience
I had another fantastic experience thanks to KWSS, this time with my husband on a five day tour of Queen Elizabeth National Park and Murchison Falls National Park. QENP was simply stunning, and we saw more hippos at a close range than we could count on the Kazinga Channel cruise, and Murchison Falls offered its own uniquely spectacular view - the hike to the top from cruise is a must for those who are physically able! Mr. OT catered to our ever-changing schedule at the last minute without a fuss, and our local guide was equally professional, and so knowledgeable about the animals, and birds in particular, that he practically made twitchers out of us! If you want a seamless and unique experience in East Africa, I can highly recommend Kenya Walking Survivors Safari.

perfect safari in beautiful kenya
At the beginning of the small rain season we had a excellent private safari. Thanks to Masha (our pleasent driver) and Jacob (the best cook in whole africa). The time in November guarantees a beautiful background, because the clouds give more quality to the picture. Also at the camp grounds there is no bussiness and you can enjoy the evenings alone and hear only the nature. We would do it again every time. Thank you Mr. Etiono for the perfect safari. Good bless you and your staff.

No worries. Great service and Safari trip!
My husband and I went on a 13 day safari with Kenya Walking Survivor’s and we were extremely happy with every aspect of the trip. As others have stated, I too was leery about wiring so much money to an unknown person in Kenya, but rest assured, Mr. Otieno is very ethical and will go to all lengths to make your trip spectacular. Our plane arrived and departed in the wee hours of the night and he provided transportation each time. We had such a great guide (Ochieng) who was focused on providing us with the best views and photos of all of the animals. Not only was he the first to spot the animals, we were finished viewing them before other vans came upon the same viewing spot. We were on our way to another spotting by the time the competitor’s guides came along. He was very knowledgeable too about all of the animals and the country of Kenya. Our accommodations were top of the line. I know with Kenya Walking, you can choose to tent it, but we chose the tented camps and lodges which were very luxurious. We literally had linen table clothes and a 5 course meal out in the middle of the Serengeti when we went to Tanzania. Mr. Otieno is very accessible too. When we were leaving, we accidentally left our cameral in the drop-off car. I had to call Mr. Otieno at 2:30 AM and he answered and called the driver to return to the airport with our camera. He couldn't be more attentive to his clients. The food at all of our lodges and tented camps included a wide variety of Western food and some African selections. It was delicious. They will provide all the bottled water for you on your safari. You only have to purchase alcoholic or soft drinks, if you choose those. He really listens to the clients’ feedback too because there was one hotel in Naivasha that we mentioned we didn’t like to our guide and before the end of our trip, the word got back to Mr. Otieno and he had already changed the Chester hotel to another tented camp for that location. I cannot stress enough how nice these tented campsites are. It was like we were the rich and famous on a safari. He said he negotiates rates, so he can get them much cheaper than if the customer books it directly. I was afraid since his rates were lower than the other companies that I would get sub-par safari, but that wasn't the case at all. Overall, I would rate our experience as 5+++! Since we had 13 days for our trip, the only thing I would do differently is I think I would choose to go see the gorillas. I heard from other people along the way that it was super cool to see them. We met the guide who specializes in those tours and his name is Martin. He was great too, although we only had him drive us back from the border to Nairobi. You can’t go wrong with this company.
