"A Dream Safari Experience in Kenya with Africa Barefoot Safaris"
This was my first time travelling to Kenya and this trip is nothing short of a dream come true. Day one, we got the chance to pet the cute little baby elephants at the David Sheldrick Elephant orphanage and feeding the towering giraffes at the giraffe center followed by the road trip to the Masai Mara along the picturesque Great Rift Valley.
We were greeted by a herd of 20+ giraffes right at the entrance of the reserve . That very evening we met the Sopa pride, a moment highlighted by the golden light of the sun. Each day in the Mara was full to the brim with joyous, unforgettable events with lions and leopards walking right past our vehicle . Our guide Brian was excellent , his knowledge about the flora and fauna was impeccable . Despite our short stay we still managed to sight 4 out of the big 5.
A heartfelt thanks to Prajwal and the entire Africa Barefoot Safaris team. Their warmth, careful planning, and dedication made this trip truly once in a lifetime. I can’t recommend them enough!

A Heartfelt Journey Through Masai Mara
I recently had the pleasure of going on a customized tour organized by Praj from Africa Barefoot Safaris, and it was nothing short of incredible! The entire trip was so well planned and thoughtfully arranged, leaving us with memories that will last a lifetime.
The guides were fantastic—friendly, passionate, and incredibly knowledgeable about the diverse wildlife in the Mara. Brien's insights really added depth to every game drive and made each sighting even more exciting.
A big thanks as well for making our stay so comfortable. The accommodations were lovely, and the food was delicious throughout the trip—definitely a big part of what made the whole experience feel so seamless and enjoyable.
If you’re looking for a stress-free, enriching travel experience in Africa, I highly recommend Africa Barefoot Safaris. I’ll absolutely be booking with them again in the future!

Incredible trip of a lifetime - Thankyou!
We met Praj in Kenya last year on safari and she she told us about her company Africa Barefoot Safaris. When we decided to head off to Botswana this year I knew we had to get in touch with her to help plan our holiday. Praj was excellent in her communication and arranging our trip to the Okavango Delta for us. She kept us informed every step of the way and checked in on us whilst we were in Botswana to make sure everything was going smoothly. As we were away celebrating birthdays and a wedding anniversary, she was very kind to ensure our camps arranged something special to celebrate these milestones. It can be very overwhelming with the amount of Safari companies to choose from however dealing with Praj took out a lot of the stress and anxiety around organising a trip of a lifetime. She is extremely knowledgeable and we highly recommend Africa Barefoot Safaris and will not hesitate to contact them next year for our next African adventure. Thank you so much for helping make this trip to Botswana so memorable for us.

Unforgettable Masai Mara Adventure: A Journey Through Stunning Wildlife
Embarking on an 8-day journey with Africa Barefoot Safari to Masai Mara was truly an experience of a lifetime. From start to finish, the trip was beautifully managed, ensuring every detail was taken care of seamlessly. Our guide, Patrick, was nothing short of amazing. His extensive knowledge of the wildlife and the Masai Mara ecosystem enriched our experience immensely. Thanks to Patrick, we had the incredible opportunity to witness some of nature's most majestic spectacles: observed multiple lion prides, including a thrilling moment of a lion eating its kill; giraffes against the horizon, a breathtaking sight that felt like a scene from a movie; leopards and cheetahs in their natural habitat; and close encounters with zebras and elephants. The accommodation was extremely comfortable, providing perfect immersion in nature. Each day was highly customizable, allowing us to tailor our activities to our interests and pace. Whether it was an early morning game drive or a relaxed afternoon by the camp, every moment was crafted to perfection. Africa Barefoot Safari delivered an unforgettable adventure that I would highly recommend to anyone seeking a unique and enriching wildlife experience. The combination of expert guidance, stunning wildlife sightings, and authentic accommodation made this trip truly exceptional.
Amazing trip
I recently had an incredible 3-night trip to the Masai Mara in Kenya, organized by Prajwal. The experience was truly unforgettable. We had wonderful sightings of a variety of animals, and our guide, Patrick, was good. He was not only knowledgeable about the wildlife but also patient, ensuring we had the best possible experience. The entire trip was well-organized and seamless. Highly recommend Prajwal for anyone planning a safari adventure!

Amazing operator, we definitely come back.
This is my first African trip. We came across Africa Barefoot Safaris on the website and talked with Prajwal. Prajwal, she is the best. She helped me plan my trip and adjust according to my request. She suggested the best camping for us, and it turned out fantastic. She knows our budget and keeps it in the budget.
After we decided to go with Africa Barefoot Safaris, Prajwal always keeps in contact to help us pack for the trip which is very important since this is our first safaris.
Once we stepped into the camp, it was indescribable. The view, the facility, the staff are all amazing. Especially the food, it was delicious (Even I am a picky eater.)
Moreover, we need to transport from one camp to another camp, Prajwal helps us provide the good transportation with best price. We met Patrick. Patrick is the guide of Africa Barefoot Safaris. He gives us the best knowledge and helps us to get the best picture we need along the ride.
Thank you to Africa Barefoot Safaris that made my first African trip memorable. We definitely come back.

A Kenyan Safari Beyond Expectations
Our Kenyan safari, meticulously planned by Africa Barefoot Safaris, surpassed all expectations. From the initial contact with Prajwal, she patiently crafted a customized itinerary to suit our preferences and budget; we knew we were in good hands.
Our guide, Patrick, was an invaluable asset. His profound knowledge of Kenya's wildlife, culture, and history was truly impressive. His passion for sharing his expertise was evident in every interaction, making our journey even more enriching. His dedication to guest satisfaction was unparalleled, ensuring we felt comfortable and cared for throughout our adventure.
The dedicated safari vehicle was perfect for our group, providing ample space and comfort while allowing for optimal wildlife viewing. The accommodations selected by Prajwal were exceptional, offering a blend of luxury and authentic experiences.
The wildlife encounters were nothing short of spectacular. The vast plains of Amboseli offered breathtaking encounters with majestic elephants, while the Masai Mara provided thrilling opportunities to witness the drama of the savanna unfold, including prides of lions, elusive leopards, and playful cheetahs. From witnessing majestic elephant herds in Amboseli to the thrill of spotting elusive leopards in the Masai Mara, every game drive was an adventure. We were fortunate to see a diverse array of animals, including lions, cheetahs, giraffes, buffaloes, zebras, wildebeest, and countless bird species. Patrick's skill in positioning the vehicle for photography resulted in breathtaking images.
Our experiences extended beyond wildlife viewing. In Nairobi, a visit to the elephant orphanage was heartwarming, and feeding giraffes was an unforgettable encounter. Taking the plane from Amboseli to Masai Mara offered a unique perspective of the vast savanna.
Naboisho Conservancy was a highlight. The night safari there was an exhilarating experience, allowing us to witness nocturnal creatures in their natural habitat. The clear night skies provided an exceptional opportunity for astrophotography. And the thrill of camping under the stars, surrounded by the sounds of the African bush while protected by Masai warriors, was an adventure of a lifetime.
We cannot thank Prajwal and Patrick at Africa Barefoot Safaris enough for curating such an extraordinary journey. It was an experience we will cherish forever.
We started our trip with Africa Barefoot Safaris and we finished it with two friends Patrick and Prajwal. THANK YOU!
