Outstanding
5/5

From the very beginning, our experience with Ways of Africa exceeded every expectation. The evening before our safari, Paul – the owner – personally came to our hotel to brief us on the adventure ahead. His kindness, professionalism, and genuine warmth instantly put us at ease. He patiently answered all of our questions and even surprised us with thoughtful gift bags full of useful safari items (I won’t spoil the surprise, but it was such a lovely touch!).

We chose the Lake Nakuru (1 night) & Masai Mara (2 nights) package, Monday–Thursday, and from the moment we were picked up at 7:30 a.m., we knew we were in the very best hands. Paul, (a different Paul) who was our guide, impressed us right away with his deep knowledge, not just about wildlife and nature, but also about the history, culture, and landmarks along our route. His passion and storytelling made the journey itself feel like part of the adventure.

For anyone wondering, especially the ladies—rest stops along the way were frequent, safe, and clean, so the long drives were very comfortable.

Our first destination was Sarova Lion Hill Lodge, Lake Nakuru. On the way, we were lucky enough to spot several animal species, which only heightened our excitement for the afternoon game drive. The lodge itself was wonderful: beautiful views, a delicious buffet restaurant, and cozy rooms prepared with mosquito nets and even hot water bottles tucked into the bed at night—such a thoughtful detail!

That afternoon’s game drive set the tone for the days to come. In just a few hours we saw buffalo, baboons, colobus monkeys, giraffes, warthogs, pelicans, flamingos, vervet monkeys, impalas, zebras, lions, hyenas, rhinos, hippos, and countless stunning birds. It was absolutely magical.

The following morning, we set out for the Masai Mara and checked into our next camp, Amani Mara. Words hardly do it justice—the views were surreal. Imagine enjoying breakfast while watching hippos sunbathe, monkeys leap through trees, and giraffes wander across the horizon. The staff at Amani were exceptional: attentive, kind, and full of knowledge. On our final night, they treated us to a bush dinner under the stars—an unforgettable four-course feast prepared by a world-class chef. Every meal we had there was simply outstanding.

And then came the highlight of our trip: exploring the Masai Mara. In just 1.5 days, thanks to Paul’s incredible guiding, we witnessed a breathtaking array of wildlife: elephants, a leopard in broad daylight (a rare sight!), a cheetah hunting and feasting on its prey, giraffes, hippos, jackals, wildebeest, ostriches, vultures, lion cubs, and two enormous male lions so close we could almost touch them. Seeing all of this in such a short time felt like a dream—it’s not something you can ever guarantee, but traveling with an expert guide like Paul certainly gave us the best possible chance.

What made the experience even more special was how much we learned along the way. Paul’s knowledge of every animal, bird, and landscape seemed endless, and he was always eager to share insights and answer our many questions. His passion for what he does shines through, and it truly elevated the entire safari.

We came away from this trip feeling deeply grateful—not just for the incredible wildlife encounters, but for the care, thoughtfulness, and professionalism that Ways of Africa put into every detail. If you are considering a safari in Kenya or Tanzania, I can wholeheartedly say: look no further. With Paul and his team, you are not just booking a safari, you are embarking on an unforgettable journey crafted with heart and expertise.

Thank you again!

Loved Every Minute of Our Safari Adventure
5/5

We had an unforgettable safari experience! Communication with Paul was smooth from the start, with a great itinerary and quick answers to all our questions.

The accommodations were clean and close to the parks, and everything was well organized and great value for money. Paul was an amazing guide! knowledgeable, patient, and thanks to him we saw all of the Big Five, including a leopard!

We visited Amboseli, Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru, and the Masai Mara, each with its own unique charm.

We loved every minute of it and would absolutely love to do it again!

Once in a lifetime experience
5/5

We booked as a family visiting Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha and Amboseli over 6 days. Liaising with Paul to arrange booking was very straightforward and boy did he deliver. Right from start of the safari we knew it was going to be one to remember, as we were picked up from our airport hotel and instantly felt at home with our guide Paul. We feel like we saw everything we wanted to see and more, as Paul had a way of getting us to the best viewpoint at exactly the right time and was so knowledgeable about the wildlife and surroundings. We were amazingly close to wild animals but at no time felt at risk, having lionesses walk past our jeep and stop to look in was particularly memorable. The accomodation, booked on our behalf as part of the package, just got better and better as the safari went on. Thank you to everyone at Ways Of Africa who made this a once in a lifetime trip which delivered in every way 5*.

Best guys to show you the essence of Kenya -
5/5

Hi Paul ( both - on field and off)
You have given us an experience that can be summed up in just one word – WOW!

The vehicle was always clean and in top condition, and each day started and ended on time with the flexibility we needed. Most importantly, you always got us to the right spot at the right time – allowing us to witness nature at its finest: two lion kills, a cheetah chase, a leopard carrying its prey up a tree, zebras crossing the river, and countless other magical moments. We never felt rushed – you gave us ample time at every sighting to take in the view and capture the best shots.

On the field, Paul is simply outstanding – an amazing guide with deep knowledge, sharp instincts, and a pleasant, no-nonsense personality. Both Pauls truly rock – legends of their territory!

Thank you also for the thoughtful gift – Asante sana!
We will always treasure this journey and will highly recommend Ways of Africa to all our friends planning their next adventure.

Paul if we come back ( hope so) we shall continue 5 structures of life & build on it further! Cheers mate !!

Dan was flexible, knowledgeable, personable (knew everyone in the space), and overall fantastic!
5/5

Would definitely recommend Ways of Africa to other travelers! We appreciated Janet meeting us at our hotel and our gift bags. They worked to change our itinerary on one day's notice and it ended up being a much better logistical set-up. We were able to customize excursions based on our preferences and have everything booked prior to arrival. Communication leading up the trip was OK (there was one hotel that was not responsive and delayed our final itinerary but mostly out of Ways of Africa's control), but the value is really when you arrive. Our guide Dan was excellent and one of the highlights of our trip. We saw lots of wildlife having a private jeep that was flexible to our schedules was greatly appreciated. You will not be disappointed when you arrive with Ways of Africa, truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience!

Best value for your money!
5/5

We had a wonderful Safari experience in Kenya - thanks to 'Ways of Africa'. Our tour covered Amboseli, Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara over 6 days. The arrangements made by Paul Sanare were impeccable and we had a very comfortable trip, despite the hectic schedule. We picked the mid-level tour package, but it felt like a luxury tour. Starting with the personal greeting by Paul and his wife Janet in Nairobi to the warm sendoff over dinner at the end of the trip, we couldn't have asked for more.

A special shout-out to our tour guide and driver, Paul Kimane. He was friendly, courteous and flexible to our schedule. His experience helped us enjoy the safari at each of the parks and we are elated for the full safari experience we had. Not only did we get to see all the wild life listed in brochures, we even got to see a lion hunt as well as a cheetah hunt in action! The wilderbeast migration and river crossing was another highlight.

We would highly recommend booking your tour with Ways of Africa - your perfect hosts in Kenya and Tanzania. I believe they are expanding to neighboring countries as well - watch out for them there as well.

Incredible experience, everything I'd hoped for.
5/5

I had an excellent time on my solo safari with Ways of Africa. Making the initial arrangements for the trip was very easy, and Paul was readily available to answer any questions I had and make changes to the planned itinerary as needed. Once I arrived in Kenya, they made sure I knew where to go, and communication was very clear at every point in the trip. The safari itself was fantastic; my guides Paul and Parsaloi were friendly, knowledgeable, and happy to answer any questions I had. During the game drives, they were constantly in touch with other drivers to know where the best animal sightings were, and as a result I got to see some truly incredible sights, including a lion kill, elephants crossing the road by our vehicle, and rhinos right outside the car window. They were also very responsive to my interests when I wanted to pause to look closer at a particular animal or take a photo. During the trip, I was further able to easily customize my itinerary, including adding on a balloon safari in Masai Mara and, upon arriving in Nairobi on the last day and still having hours before my flight, visiting the Giraffe Centre. Additionally, the lodgings were great with a lot of amenities, and the trip as a whole was a great value for the cost. Overall an A+ experience.
