Wonderful experience with Gordon, who treated us like family and gave his all
We are more than happy with the tour, especially with Gordon as our guide. It felt like we were traveling with an uncle who truly put all his effort into giving us the best possible experience. We also loved the accommodations and the food, and the overall planning was excellent. We had several amazing game drives, and really enjoyed the combination of Tsavo and Amboseli, which offered a great variety of landscapes and wildlife. We tried to think of possible improvements, but honestly couldn’t come up with any. We would definitely recommend this tour to friends.

Extraordinary experience - nothing to complain about!
We (a young couple in the late 20s from Germany) contacted the agency via SafariBookings. Patrick (the manager) answered very quick and sent several personalised offers with options regarding e.g. low budget/medium/luxury. Thus we were a bit sceptical, because everything was really fast and comparably affordable. We requested some adjustments for the planned tour which got included immediately. Then we checked the listing of the company in the TRA as we had read about some scams. After, we agreed on the trip and paid 30% in advance. The rest was paid only 1 day before the safari started.
We got picked up from our hotel in Nairobi by Patrick and our guide Gordon. Patrick had to go see some others guests and we headed off to Masai Mara.
Our route was Masai Mara - Amboseli - Taita Hills - Tsavo East by van (7 days). First, we did not have Masai Mara included, but we were so so happy we changed that!
We really enjoyed our time in the National Parks, it was stunning. Also, we felt very lucky to be with Gordon. He is funny, talkative, caring and very customer oriented. His goal is for you to have a great experience! Knowing all the national parks by heart and using the radio for communication was key to have those once-in-a-lifetime-moments there. Although the roads were not the best sometimes, we always felt safe with Gordon driving. Fun fact: He knows Spanish (which we switched to sometimes) and even Japanese!
Concluding, we are convinced that we got a great value for our money. It was a good choice to book with smartlickers. Enjoy your safari!

Professional services at highest level
1. Excellent communication with Patrick, owner of the Smartlickers Tours.
2. Eric, our guide and driver, is great. His English is excellent, always on time, gave us all information needed and more, flexible to our wishes. Eric made our safari tour unforgettable.
3. We highly recommend the 7 day safari with Masai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha and Amboseli. They are completely different experiences, all of them are worth it.

Perfection at a great price
From the first moment I contacted Patrick I felt confident and certain that the experience would be fantastic. The price they offer is super competitive and the organisation was impeccable from the first to the last day (despite due to flight cancellation we had to move the tour by one day). Our guide Gordonne was an integral part of our trip and thanks to his professionalism he allowed us to fully experience the Safari.
Thank you for this wonderful trip ❤️
