More Expensive for More Information but Not Neccessarily a Better Tour
I went on the 14 day Combined Kenya-Tanzania Safari. I chose Inspired Feet because of their positive reviews, excellent e-mail communication and detailed itinerary. Fiona was professional and answered all my questions. I had multiple guides but Francis and Godana in Kenya were the best and deserve a shout-out for their service.
I thought I would be with one group the whole time but I was not. This was disappointing to me as a solo traveller. Unless you are on a private tour, you will be on "joining safari" which means you share a car with multiple people from different tour companies. People may have different itineraries. I changed cars 3 times in Kenya and 2 times in Tanzania. It was nice to meet new people and have different drivers but it made it harder to form a bond with people. This was because I had a longer itinerary than most people (it was the extra day in Kenya compared to others that threw things off).
The value for money is OK. I met people who had the same itinerary as me but paid less. I thought I was getting value out of a more detailed itinerary book but honestly it was not worth it. When you get on the safari everyone is figuring things out as they go anyway. Go with the tour company with the best price that hits the destinations you want. The extra information about the destinations in the book and about the hotels was not worth paying what I estimate was 10-15% more than what others did (at least). I would recommend upgrading to the jeep for Kenya though - it is essential and I didn't see any vans in the parks.
Inspired Feet did not communicate with me after I paid the deposit. I was on my own for my visas and had to message them about scheduling the transport from the hotel to their office. Other tour operators did this for their clients so I would have liked more communication.
I was recommended the 14 day itinerary because it was "the most popular option". This was not my experience. During my trip, I did not meet anyone doing the same itinerary (with Inspired Feet or another company). Most people do Kenya OR Tanzania. I did 7 days in Kenya but most people I met were doing 5 days. In Tanzania, I did 6 days but most people do 4. If you want to go to Kenya and Tanzania and want to save money/time, do the 10 day itinerary - it skips Lake Naivasha, Lake Manyara and Tarangire Park, which aren't as popular or good of parks. I preferred Kenya over Tanzania so I would do 6 days in Kenya (having 2 full days in Masai Mara was worth it). The drive to the Serengeti in Tanzania included 4 hours of the worst roads I've ever seen. I thought the Masai Mara was much better for wildlife because it is more dense part. Only go to the Serengeti if it is a bucket list item. The Ngorongoro Crater was highly underwhelming - cool landscape but it really is just a hole in the ground with few animals. Despite this, I enjoyed having a longer trip because I did see new things everyday and could appreciate all the parks at a slower pace. The 4 day run doing Serengeti and Ngorongoro is absolutely brutal - I am glad I had 2 extra days to break it up.
Would I recommend Inspired Feet? Yes and No. Their service was quality, the tour was great and I had a good time. It was expensive for a budget safari and I don't think I should have been recommended the 14-day tour.

Posted on Oct 19, 2025Dear Samantha,
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your detailed experience. We truly value your feedback and are glad to hear that you enjoyed the overall safari and appreciated the service from our team, especially Francis and Godana.
We’re delighted that you found the safari memorable, enjoyed meeting new people, and noted the professionalism in our pre-tour communication. Your insights are invaluable to us.
Regarding the itinerary recommendation, we appreciate your perspective as a younger solo traveler. Our 14-day Kenya–Tanzania safari is typically preferred by elderly clients or wildlife enthusiasts couples who enjoy a slower-paced, immersive experience, and since age details aren’t always provided during booking, it can be difficult to tailor recommendations perfectly. We’ll certainly use this feedback to bridge that gap going forward — ensuring our suggestions align more closely with travelers’ age ranges, energy levels, and preferences.
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused by the vehicle and guide changes during your trip. We also offered this information prior to the safari on the briefing. Group-sharing safaris sometimes require coordinating travelers on varying itineraries, though we understand how this may have felt less personal as a solo guest. We also appreciate your thoughts regarding communication and itinerary clarity. We did send your receipt after the deposit payment, and for visa-related inquiries, we encourage guests to reach out directly — we pride ourselves on prompt replies via both email and WhatsApp.
In terms of cost, your package included a Jeep upgrade, which accounts for the difference compared to other travelers’ pricing. Moving forward, this upgrade will be automatically included in all 2026/2027 safari packages to enhance value and experience for our guests. A 14D itinerary has to include your accommodations, park entry fees for sleeping inside the park and meals day in & out. It’s a long trip. $2500 for the 14D budget trip was honestly a good deal considering it included the Jeep however we do respect your views.
Once again, we appreciate your honesty and are truly glad that despite the challenges, you had a memorable experience exploring Kenya and Tanzania. We’d be honored to host you again — perhaps on a shorter, more personalized private safari next time.
Kind regards,
Inspired Feet Safaris Ltd

Complete tour with great guides
It was incredible! We went as a couple and did the 12-day Kenya-Tanzania tour. The tour was comprehensive and very intense, and very good value for money. Thanks to the Keyna guides, who were fantastic! Especially Bryan, who made sure we saw as much as possible, and Jeff, whose patience allowed us to witness long behavioral processes! Everyone we met was friendly and open to sharing!
The travel company was very accommodating, much appreciated!
I think the only downside is that for such a long tour, you'd have to add a full day of rest in the middle!

A Once-in-a-Lifetime Safari - Perfectly Organized by the Amazing Fiona Grace
Our experience with Inspired Feet Safaris was far beyond our expectations — it was warm, personal, and absolutely unforgettable.
From the very first message, Fiona Grace, the incredible young woman behind this "woman-owned company" concept (which I gladly support) - stood out with her honesty, care, and unmatched responsiveness. While other big-name safari operators took four to five hours to respond to my questions, Fiona always replied instantly, no matter the time of day. That level of personal commitment made me trust her immediately — even though I didn’t know her before — and it turned out to be one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.
Fiona is a person of true integrity and trustworthiness. Unlike many others, she provides a completely transparent cost breakdown from start to finish. She offers by far, best rates (which easily beat the concurrency on any day) - and carefully explains what every item covers — park fees, accommodation, the ART of your transportation (Jeep vs Van!), meals — with no hidden charges whatsoever. You always know exactly what you are paying for, and you genuinely get the best value for your money compared to larger companies.
What makes Fiona even more special is her honest communication about the local culture. She speaks openly and truthfully about the Maasai villages, ensuring you understand the customs and realities before visiting. She also shares countless useful tips for traveling safely and wisely in Kenya, something you don’t get from most other operators.
After our long journey to Kenya, Fiona personally took care of us like family. She arranged a private transfer to bring us safely in a Jeep all the way to Masai Mara, as we arrived half-dead to Nairobi. That thoughtful gesture truly saved our energy and made the start of our trip so enjoyable. Fiona even welcomed us into her home, cooked for us, and treated us with such kindness and warmth — it was the kind of hospitality that builds friendships for life.
Our safari route — Masai Mara → Lake Nakuru / Lake Naivasha → Amboseli — was simply perfect.
In Masai Mara, we saw 99% of the animals on our very first day and the rest on the second.
Our guides — George, Caius, and Jackson — were absolute professionals: exceptionally safe drivers, deeply knowledgeable, and masters at spotting wildlife even in the most hidden places. We always felt safe, cared for, and inspired by their passion.
Lake Nakuru was peaceful and pristine — a clean, calm place that feels like a dream. It’s the kind of town where you could easily imagine settling down one day, surrounded by beauty and serenity.
Finally, Amboseli captured my heart forever — the landscape, the elephants, and especially the warm and welcoming Amboseli Maasai people - quite different vibe than Maasai people from Massai Mara. Yes, there ARE differences.
To anyone considering a safari in Kenya, I wholeheartedly recommend Inspired Feet Safaris. If you want honesty, transparency, safety, and a truly personal connection, Fiona Grace is the person you can trust — 100%.
Thank you Fiona & Team, for creating an experience that was not just a safari, but a journey of friendship, discovery, and lifelong memories. I will forever be grateful.
