Incredible Tour - Peter is The Best!
Phenomenal experience chosing Kentau as our tour operator.
While booking Doninic was on top of everything for our 3 day trip to Tsavo & Amboseli making sure we got the best possible accommodations for our budget.
Our guide Peter was awesome, and all the wonderful conversations we had with him doing the journey was as much a part of our memories as the parks themselves.
In a short timeframe, we really got the whole experience seeing countless amounts of animals, including an unforgettable lion pride hunting a zebra pack.
The accommodations in Tsavo were our favorite from a 3.5 week journey throughout East Africa.
Cannot reccomend this operator enough!

Perfect safari experience!
We had such a lovely 4-day safari with Kentau Safaris. Everything was well planned and the communication with Dominic was easy and fast. He structured the tour very well and listened to our requests. Our guide, Moses, was warm, welcoming and kind - and he made us feel safe at all times. He knew a lot about the wildlife, nature and African culture, and we had so much fun with him. And to add, Moses was a very good driver (which we really appreciated, since the roads were in bad conditions sometimes).
We saw a lot of elephants, giraffes, zebras, buffalos, cheetahs, lions, wildebeest, antelopes, ostriches and warthogs. And definitely more animals that I forgot!
Thanks to Dominic, Moses and the Kentau team! We can definitely recommend booking with these guys - you won’t regret :-)

A wonderful, reliable, experience!
My review of the 3-day trip to Tsavo East and West couldn’t be more positive: Our guide, Cornelius, was gracious, knowledgeable, flexible… Wonderful in every sense. The car we used was modern, clean, spacious for me and my wife.
An the rides were something else. I didn’t expect Tsavo to be so beautiful and so full of life.
The lodges where we stayed, Ashnil Aruba lodge and Kilaguni Serena Safari Lodge, were very impressive, both next to a water hole. The two days we stayed there our rooms were next to the water, and we could see the animals, elephants zebras, Oryxes, etc., next to us.
The buffets had a big selection and good quality in their food.
I would end up saying that we would definitely contact your service again when we go back, which we hope will be very soon.

An amazing experience from start to finish
We were very pleased with the responsiveness and clear communication from Dominic. The quote provided was clear and accurately described the accommodations and safari activities/locations. The accommodation at Olkinyei Mara Tented Camp was our favorite. The hot meals and packed lunches were amazing and the tented rooms were clean and very comfortable. Our driver, Chris, was experienced and professional. He took great care of us and found many animals for us to observe. The highlight was a successful lion hunt which was incredible to witness. The itinerary and accommodations were exactly as described in the quote we received from Dominic. The experience was so fantastic that we are already planning our next safari. We will of course use Kentau again.

Incredible Safari experience in Masai Mara!
I went on a 5-day fly-in private safari in Masai Mara, Kenya with Kentau Safaris. I stayed at the beautiful luxury Serena lodge. Saw the Big 5 and more. They answered all my questions promptly, made planning easy, and were reasonably priced. I would highly recommend Kentau Safaris.

Richard was an excellent driver, knowledgeable guide, easy going demeanor and service oriented.
Kentau Safari staff was very responsive from booking to day of travel. Before arriving, Dominic provided recommendations, and we followed up regularly months before arriving. I did a 3 day safari, saw 3 out of 5 of the big 5 and had an experience of a lifetime. I think having a skilled, confident and knowledgeable guide is key to having a great experience, our driver Richard was the Man! Hats off to that guy. Next time I'll do a 4 day safari.

The best experiences ever!
One of the best experiences of my life, without a doubt! Mo was an amazing tour guide—he provided us with a truly unforgettable experience. We saw so many animals and captured incredible photos and videos. He was outstanding at his job. And we saw the Kilimanjarooo!!
Dominic also went above and beyond to help me with my eTA for Kenya when I was having issues, and he was always willing to assist. I had the most incredible time with them on this safari—highly recommended!

The communication was clear, and they were always ready to address any concerns. Kentau Safaris proved to be the perfect choice for anyone looking to tackle Mount Kenya, as their professionalism and attention to detail made the challenging hike much more manageable and enjoyable. Highly recommend for anyone seeking a trustworthy and well-organized experience!"
