Friendly, patient and professional
It was a great trip and many thanks to Sandra and her team for the careful arrangement and warm reception.
I am a girl traveling around the world alone, and Africa is my last stop, so I chose the travel agency very carefully. I saw Sandra on the website and communicated with her through email. She answered all my questions very patiently and enthusiastically, so it only took 5 days from inquiry to payment. In addition, every day during the trip, she cared about my safety situation and the travel experience of the day on WhatsApp, and timely gave corresponding help to ensure that I was better taken care of. During this six-day trip, I visited the Masai Mara National Park, Nakuru Park, Amboseli National Park, saw lions, cheetahs, elephants, rhinos, flamingos, etc., and made many new friends, such as Sean from Canada, Gina from the UK, and especially my two driver friends, Albert and Zachary. I will not forget the time we spent together.
If I ever have the opportunity to visit Kenya, I would choose Sandra again and wish her and her team all the best in the future.

The best agency for a safari
From the very beginning until the very end it has been wonderful.
Sandra has been in touch with us all the time, informing and helping about everything before/during and after the safari.
We did 6 days and 5 nights: Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli. We loved it.
We want to thank our master Driver and guide Richard who looked after us too during the 6 days safari.
We highly recommend Dosasha and we would repeat without hesitation.
Thanks again Sandra

Responsive and kind
Sandra and her team were eager to please and very responsive to any concern I might have on my 7-day group joining budget safari.
While there we a few hiccups here and there, they were quickly resolved with swift communication by Sandra and even upgrades when necessary. I received a daily message on Whatsapp asking me how were things going and whether anything needed to be taken care of, which I really appreciated.
Of course one must understand the differences between budget, mid-range and luxury safaris and adjust their expectations accordingly, so if you are unsure feel free to ask Sandra to explain in more detail and offer options according to your needs, wants and resources.
Masai Mara and Amboseli are once in a lifetime experiences, and Lake Nakuru, Lake Navaisha and Hell's Gate are well worth a visit. 7 days is a little long to be travelling and going on game drives every day, so if I were to do it again I would probably break it up in a few shorter trips with some time to rest in the middle.
All that being said, I am pleased with the service I received from Dosasha travel and would recommend them.

Excellent, trustworthy and goes above and beyond to serve the client better
From day one, Sandra at Dosasha made the reservation process simple, suggesting various options at a range of prices. We wanted a private safari and to also extend our stay in the Maasai Mara by an extra day and this was all quickly and efficiently arranged. On arrival in Nairobi, one of our suitcases had been lost by the airline and again, although it was by no means their responsibility, Dosasha helped enormously in arranging to have the case picked up from a local airstrip in the middle of the Maasai Mara! And as for the safari itself, we cannot speak more highly of James, our driver who is one of the most conscientious and really genuine people I have ever had the pleasure to meet. We were not lucky with the weather but James sought out hard to find animals in some harsh conditions and was extremely patient while we took endless photographs! He made suggestions for a few very reasonably priced additional excursions which were a wonderful surprise and a complete delight to experience. Our family is a mix of Spanish and English people and James' English is perfect and has pretty good Spanish too! We hope to return again one day and will definitely use Dosasha Safaris again. Thanks to your whole team.

Out of our imagination
A safari in Kenya is very special, often once-in-a-lifetime experience, and we were lucky enough to trust Dosasha Tours to plan our trip! They made sure that our experience was smooth and comfortable from start to finish. They were responsive both before and during the trip. Best of all, they booked us the most incredible safari guide for the trip - Geoffrey.
Geoffrey was professional, reliable, and fun! He has 24 years of experience guiding safaris and you can really tell. He was extremely perceptive to our priorities. Knowing that we really enjoyed photography and videography, he was sure to not only spot animals but position us in the best possible photographic spot. He is very knowledgeable about the wildlife and was able to narrate the behavior of different species as the action unfolded in front of us. He seems to have a sixth sense about the animal’s patterns of movement. His passion for the wildlife and guiding just shown through the whole trip. He keeps books on wildlife to show clients the variations between different species. There was pretty much no question we asked that he didn’t know the answer to. He is well connected with all the other safari guides and we could tell that everyone respects him - he is the one other guides came to for advice.
In addition he was a great driver. Despite quite bumpy conditions, he made our ride as smooth as possible and we always felt safe.
Geoffrey made our trip so special and memorable. We were able to see all of the Big 5 up close and even a pride of lions hunting. Thank you so much Geoffrey and Dosasha for going above and beyond. These guys are absolutely the go to company for anyone looking to book a Kenyan safari!

A professional safari operator and extremely well planned trip
I have travelled around Kenya visiting 5 national parks in 10 days this month. While I was initially hoping to plan and execute all by myself, I found that I’m slipping beyond my budget. After almost a week’s search for a reliable Safari operator based in Kenya, I found Dosasha Tours and Safaris and their extremely professional team member Miss Sandra. So my interaction with Sandra to plan this trip commenced in October 2023 with multiple iterations to suit my liking and she was really patient to accommodate it all. She even advised me on how to make my 10 days vacation more comfortable with little tips and preparation. All that done and when I landed at Kenya (this being my first trip abroad with my family) I was really worried how things will go about in execution. To my luck and due to Dosasha tours expertise and experience in this profession, we had a wonderful and memorable trip. All my stays in 10 days were in the best hotels in the locality and national parks I visited. The vehicle that we had for all game drives were really comfortable and the drivers did a wonderful job in ensuring that we have close encounters with the big fives (and that’s what we came here for, right). Overall, me and my wife are carrying back a bag full of wonderful memories and great impressions of Kenya and Dosasha Tours. I have already shared my itinerary to three of my friends back in India along with Miss Sandra’s contact number. To conclude we did this trip in almost 2/3rd of our initially planned budget. Definitely I’m going to come back to Kenya again to visit national parks in future and once again it’s a deal with Dosasha. Once again, thank you Dosasha and Sandra. God bless you immensely.

Reliable!
We took the help of Dosasha tours and Safaris to help plan as well as execute our family trip. Right from the onset they were very proactive over email in the planning phase and provided multiple options (both from location as well as hotel perspective) to help customize our itinerary exactly how we wanted it. Once we landed in Nairobi, we were met at the arrivals by our guide Ogany who accompanied us throughout and helped us navigate through the itinerary with patience, knowledge and humour. We spotted the Big 5 multiple times across Masai Maara, Amboseli as well as a sea of Flamingos in Nakuru. Cherry on top was to witness sunrise on the Hot-air balloon ride which while being slightly pricey was worth every penny. The Camps/Lodges recommended for stay by Dosasha were very luxurious and well equipped to handle any request. From a food perspective there were multiple vegetarian options to choose from so Vegan/Vegetarian travellers need not worry at all. Overall a very satisfying vacation trip.

Authentic, Dedicated and professional tour operator. Understands all their clients' travel needs.
We'd highly recommend Dosasha Safaris for your safari to Kenya! Our tour guide and driver, Lorence, was dedicated to every detail of the experience for us. He ensured we had everything that we needed, communicated really well about the details of the day, changes in plans, what we were doing, where we were going, details as they emerged, plans for the next day, etc. During game drives, he was constantly monitoring the radio and making absolutely sure that we could see all the big 5 and other animals during our entire trip. He always positioned the vehicle in the best spots and made sure that we could get good angles for photos and viewing. Lorence was awesome and we'd highly recommend him for your safari. At the end of the trip, we stayed in Diani Beach at the Pinewood Resort and have to say that this was one of the best resort experiences we've had in our lives. It was half-board and had really well-made food, attentive staff, was clean, had animals on the property (monkeys, tortoises, weaver birds, crabs walking around, bush babies, etc.) it was such a beautiful end to the trip and we'll treasure all of our memories from this safari. Thank you Dosasha and team!
