Excellent value for money!
Excellent !! A very friendly young man came to pick me up at 2 o'clock in the morning using a Bolt. Arriving in town, I board with 8 other people, including the driver-guide, in a long 9-seater Land Cruiser which takes us to the park. At the main entrance, there is no queue but I take advantage of the waiting time to rest and go to the toilet (around 1hr). Once in the park, the guide explained everything to us in good English. The vehicle is very suitable because it is all terrain, suitable for crossings and a jack-mounted roof allowing all rear passengers to stand up to have the best views from above. Many different species encountered (lions, rhinos, baboons, giraffes, bison, zebras, antelopes, etc.) thanks to the experience of the guide. Two stops during the visit allow you to go to the toilet and visit on foot. By adapting to the species encountered, the visit ultimately lasted 2 hours longer than planned. The organizers are keen to satisfy visitors.
If you visit the park on Saturday, I advice to also visit the Masai Market, which is the drop off zone at the end of the tour...

professionalism and kindness
It was great having Kennedy as a guide and a privilege as the company is very young. He is very knowledgeable. I was alone with him. I live in Kenya. Choosing the right guide in Masai Mara is very important as there are many fake guides who are just drivers who rely on the walkie talkie or other means of communication to find the big cats. Once you are there, there are very often too many cars and you do not feel the bush vibe. Quantity is often there at the expense of quality! I would rather see less animals with less cars.
I managed to see lions, cheetahs and one leopard in four game drives. We were twice among the very first cars to observe them. So, the quality was there.
If you want exclusiveness however, Kennedy will take you to the Mara Triangle which is a conservancy with a restriction on the number of cars. The quality of the sightings is unparalleled and within the Masai Mara game reserve. It is so beautiful and peaceful! We even managed to see black rhinos there! There were more elephants than in the Masai Mara game reserve.
We also saw one crossing but we did not stay long as I did not like the number of cars and Kennedy could not do anything against it! Still, it was very impressive!
I thoroughly recommend Kennedy as a guide and I wish you all the best for the company!
Olengugih safaris are the best!I will definitely stick with them for another safari!
Time is key!I was never disappointed by Olengugih!They were punctual, well organized and affordable!Cheerz!

Unforgettable and enjoyable experience.
I had a fantastic experience with Olengugih Safaris. The communication was excellent throughout the booking process, and their team was responsive to all my queries and requests. The service provided during the tour was top-notch, and the guides were knowledgeable and friendly.
In terms of value for money, I believe I got great value for the price paid. The reliability of the company was evident as they delivered everything as promised without any hiccups.
The tour itself was a memorable adventure. The itinerary was well-planned, and I got to see and experience incredible wildlife and landscapes. I highly recommend Olengugih Safaris to fellow travelers. They truly know how to make a safari an unforgettable and enjoyable experience.Also thanks to Patrick the driver! He was the Best !Thanks a lot Olengugih and the whole team Kevin ,Maureen and the rest I don’t remember all the names !

Amazing One-Day Tour from Nairobi City Center
Awesome tour. Hotel pick-up, vehicle, park entrance, game-drive and especially our guides: Everything perfect!! The nairobi nationalpark is really underestimated. Way more beautiful and divers than expected. But what made this Tour very special, was the dedication of our guides. We got the feeling, that nature, preserving the nature and showing it to other people is very important for them (and this is not only their business, like you are feeling with other tour-operators). Thank you very much.

Fun and accommodating!
We booked around 9PM for a safari the following morning after our original company changed the prices on us. We were picked up around 6:30AM the following morning for a half day safari. Our guides were knowledgeable not only about the animals, but also worked with other guides to know where to find the animals! After our safari we mentioned going to a market to shop, and since they didn’t have an afternoon tour booked, they took us themselves! A fun and memorable day all around!

Amazing safaris and mt kenya trek
What an experience... the service provided by Olengugih was outstanding!
Kelvin was really flexible, informative, helpful and extremely professional. He helped us a lot to tailor the activities to our needs and budget.
He even took me for free to the souvenir shop, no pressure to buy anything
Budget safari:
We did a 6-day safari in Masai Mara and Amboseli. The 4x4 van was good for safaris, even if not being a typical safari land cruiser.
Evans, our driver was great: informative, knowledgeable, friendly and always cared to make us feel good. The accommodations were budget but still good.
Mt Kenya trek:
Kelvin also organised my trek to Mt Kenya. The guide and porters were great. Food was amazing, every day something different at places where it's not easy to cook. Very professional also. Totally satisfied!
100% recommended.

Great experience!
I am happy I booked this activity with Olengugih Safaris as there were so many offers to choose from. We were picked up from the hotel in the morning with a proper safari jeep and it was a great experience. Kelvin and the team were great and made our trip amazing! Highly recommended!
