The Best!
If you are planning a safari in Kenya, we wholeheartedly recommend Moses and Promax Safaris! 🇰🇪
We contacted Moses about six months before our trip, almost immediately after buying our tickets to Kenya. We found him through recommendations from other travelers, and now, after completing our safari, we can confidently say that choosing him was absolutely the right decision.
Everything was discussed and arranged in advance: the itinerary, accommodation, program and total cost. Our route was: Masai Mara → Lake Nakuru → Lake Naivasha → Amboseli → train to Mombasa → transfer to Diani Beach.
We arrived in Nairobi late at night and stayed at the Ibis Hotel. The next morning Moses picked us up, and our Kenyan adventure began!
Our first destination was Masai Mara. From the very first full day, the safari was incredible. Moses knew where to look for the animals, and we saw everything we had hoped for. Another huge advantage for us was that Moses speaks Russian very well, so there was absolutely no language barrier. We talked and laughed throughout the long drives, asked him a million questions, and he always had something interesting to tell us. After just a few hours, it felt as if we had known each other for years.
Next was Lake Nakuru. We only had half a day for the safari there, but it was packed with amazing moments. Moses quickly found huge white rhinos, and later we saw a lioness with two cubs. The lake was full of pelicans, and thousands of pink flamingos created an incredible pink landscape across the water. We also visited the waterfall with lots of monkeys nearby. On our way back, a giraffe came incredibly close to us and stood there as if it had arrived specifically for a photo session! 😄 Before leaving the park, we saw another rhino with birds sitting on its back. What a day!
Lake Naivasha was a completely different safari experience. We took a boat trip, fed pelicans with fish and saw lots of hippos, eagles, otters and many different species of birds. By that point, zebras and wildebeest had become so common for us that we almost stopped mentioning them — they were simply everywhere! 😂
Then we headed to Amboseli. The drive from Naivasha took around 5.5 hours, but the time passed surprisingly quickly because we talked with Moses the whole way. He answered every question we had and told us so much about Kenya, its people, wildlife and everyday life.
The lodge Moses selected for us near Amboseli was fantastic, located right next to the park and surrounded by real African wilderness. At night, an elephant even came close to the lodge!
We had two safaris in Amboseli: an evening game drive on the day we arrived and a morning game drive the following day. Amboseli is absolutely beautiful. We saw huge numbers of elephants, including many tiny baby elephants, giraffes, zebras, flamingos and beautiful green oases surrounded by dry African landscapes.
One of the most unforgettable moments happened at sunset, when the clouds finally cleared and Mount Kilimanjaro appeared in front of us. Absolutely magical.
After our morning safari, we had some free time to relax and simply enjoy the beautiful surroundings. We enjoyed Amboseli 1000%! 🐘🏔️
What impressed us just as much as the safari itself was the organization of the entire trip.
At the end of our safari, Moses drove us to the railway station, arranged First Class train tickets for us and made sure we were safely on board. By that point, saying goodbye genuinely felt like saying goodbye to a good friend — we hugged and were honestly a little sad that our safari together was over.
And even then, Moses’ job wasn’t finished. He had already arranged our transfer from Mombasa railway station to our hotel, Ocean Village Club in Diani Beach. We were met on arrival and comfortably driven all the way to the hotel in an air-conditioned vehicle.
Moses, thank you so much for this incredible journey — for the perfect organization, your help, your knowledge, all the conversations and laughs, and most importantly, for giving us such unforgettable memories of Kenya.
We came to Kenya looking for a safari guide and left feeling that we had found a friend.
If you are looking for a reliable safari company in Kenya and a fantastic guide, we can recommend Moses and Promax Safaris without hesitation.
Asante sana, Moses! 🇰🇪❤️
