Maxvel Safaris is Personal Professional and give you maximum value for your money
5/5

I went on a private trip with Charles he is a great guide. He has the knowledge, experience and is personal. Maxvel Safaris is a small operator but this is for me a positive point because you don't feel just an other tourist. Charles will maximize the time in the parks we went early and left at the last moment. He will do his best to let you see as much as possible! Even my trip was in the low season I did see the big and uggly 5.

Charles gave me an personal and nature experience I won't forget! I would recommend Maxvel Safaris to my friends and the next time I will come to Kenya we will meet again! Thank you Charles!

I did the 4 day safari, 2 days Masai Mara and 2 days Lake Nakuru but instead of the last day Nakuru Charles recommended to end in Naivasha to maximize my experience!

Charles provided an unforgettable safari experience marked by expert wildlife knowledge, flawless pl
5/5

Maxvel Safaris delivered the trip of a lifetime. From the moment we landed to our final goodbyes, every detail was handled with care, professionalism, and a deep passion for Kenya’s wildlife and culture.

Over two weeks, we explored Sweet Water, Samburu, Nairobi, Nakuru, Maasai Mara, and Amboseli. Each location offered something unique, and Charles made sure we experienced the best of every park. We were fortunate to see the Big 5, the Ugly 5, and the Special 5. While a few of the Small 5 eluded us, we were more than satisfied with the incredible sightings we had. Every day brought something new: elephants at sunrise, lions with cubs, and even a rhino up close.

The accommodations were fantastic. We stayed in a mix of lodges and tented camps, all thoughtfully selected and offering great comfort, food, and atmosphere.

Communication from Maxvel was clear and responsive from the beginning. They were quick to answer questions and made booking and preparation simple. The entire experience felt like tremendous value for money given the quality of guiding, accommodations, and the depth of experience offered. Charles and the Maxvel team made us feel like guests, not just tourists.

If you are looking for a reliable, well-organized, and unforgettable safari experience, Maxvel Safaris should be at the top of your list. We cannot recommend them highly enough.

The most accommodative tour operator ever met…!
5/5

Charlie was the main highlight of our trip. He was not the tour guide, he was more like one of our own and made everything possible to make our experience is covered with all the attractions to the fullest even some of them were not even planned at the tour setting up. However you must be very specific on your accommodation requirements at the masai park to him, so he will fix it accordingly as there are different level of accommodations/ hotels available. This is to avoid unwanted, loss of expectations at the location. You must remember that you are going to a remote place and some conveniences may have to be tolerated. Overall the tour was a lifetime memory and mostly thanks to Charlie’s unforgettable hosting.

Charles is a very professional, kind and service-oriented guide
5/5

This was my third time going on safari with Charles and it was as always absolutely amazing. Charles is a very professional, kind and caring guy. He knows everything about the parks and his love and passionate about the animals made every single safari with him very unique. I highly appreciate that he respects when an animal is stressed and needs a bit of space instead of continuing chasing it like many tour operators do. I will definitely go on another safari with him

Charles, our kid’s favourit operator
5/5

We had an amazing 3 days Safari in Amboseli with Charles. He has a big knowledge about all animals, always had an answer all the questions we asked. We were so close to babuns and elephants, it will be a memory for lifetime. He is very good especially with kids, I really recommend him if you travel with little ones. Thank you for everything Charles!

Remarkable Safari with John in Amboseli
5/5

Our safari in Amboseli National Reserve with John was incredible. His knowledge, warmth, and ability to spot wildlife like lions, leopards, elephants, and Cape buffalos made our trip unforgettable. John's adaptability to our interests added a personal touch, enriching our experience. Highly recommend John for a truly exceptional and tailored Kenyan safari adventure.
