Real Africa Travel was professional and experienced delivering a memorable safari for our family.
Giraffes, zebras, lions, elephants, rhinos and more!... Our safari with Real Africa Travel was a memorable experience for our family of 5. Mike was a great guide and his experience was so helpful in leading us to see some fantastic views of the animals. We took home some amazing photos! Tim, our coordinator, was professional, helpful and responsive leading up to, during and after our trip.
Starting with one night at Lake Nakuru was an excellent suggestion to break up the 3 night safari. The views at Lake Nakuru Sopa Lodge were breathtaking and turned out to be a highlight of the trip. Two nights at Fig Tree Masai Mari...unfortunately the recent floods had destroyed the bridge that connects directly to the park so unpleasant driving was required to enter the property. The restoration efforts at the property were quite impressive, though the luxuriousness of the property and landscape shown in the photos had definitely been effected. The food and service at both lodges were great. The most challenging part of the trip was the rough and lengthy car rides in route between the airport, parks and lodges. If doing over, we would definitely consider flying between the parks or only staying at one location. However, we really enjoyed the advantage of both locations and the greater variety of sights and wildlife.
The overall experience seeing the animals was certainly rewarding. Mike made great efforts for us to capture great views of the wildlife. Thank you!

Knowledgeable, responsive, honest…all around amazing.
We spent a while trying to find a safari company we felt comfortable with. As soon as we began communicating with Tim, we knew we were in good hands. Tim was super responsive to our inquiries and has an intimate knowledge of the Maasai Mara. After all, he’s from the Mara! He listened to all of our criteria and was able to recommend the perfect safari camp and an amazing driver/guide (Mike). Having Tim as a contact person in the U.S. and Lillian as a contact person in Kenya meant that we always knew we had access to help and information before and during our trip. Our guide Mike was very experienced and had a deep knowledge of the park. On top of that he spoke numerous languages…French, English, Japanese, Swahili, Maasai, etc. Mike did a wonderful job finding game to observe. Lions, elephants, cheetahs (eating gazelles), buffalo, antelope, ostriches, crocodiles, giraffes , mongoose, warthogs, hyenas, hippos, you name it!!! We would recommend this company to all of our friends and family without hesitation. A+ service. We can’t wait to go back and do it again.

The real MVP!
Tim, Lilian and Mike are the real professional. They catered to our needs, respond very fast and gave us the best service. We truly appreciate all their help for us even arranging our proposal. Mike did not only drive us but became our tour guide and photographer too. I would recommend them to anyone going to Kenya

Great to deal with, facilitated excellent Amboseli experience.
I did the overnight Amboseli tour. Everything went smoothly - tour operator responded promptly to my request for a quote, and promptly responded to follow up queries. The guide was very knowledgeable and made a real effort to point out not only the obvious animals but also various birds ( of which there are heaps in Amboseli). It was a fantastic experience and I strongly recommend it. The only downside was that at the toilet stop at a community market (basically a place where they sell souvenirs) I felt the vendors were extremely pushy getting me to buy things. That’s not the operator’s fault but just something for people to be aware of.

Incredible service!
My husband and I recently did a 7 day safari holiday with Mykis Safaris and we had thee best time ever! We visited the famous Masai Mara, lake Nakuru and Naivasha and Amboselli. We were very impressed with the service we received. The private 4x4 was amazing- it has customized features like a plug point to charge your phone-which was very helpful for the full day game drives. The accommodation and food was amazing. We were mind blown by the actual safaris. Mykis safaris really helped us appreciate and capture the beauty that Kenya has to offer. We highly recommend them!

Competent and flexible
I booked a safari trip for my mother and sister with Real Africa Travel and it didn't disappoint. Both Tim who was my point of contact and Mike who was the driver on the trip, were very professional and accommodating towards their wants and needs.
Great service at a great price.
I'm headed to Nairobi my self this summer and I will definitely avail myself of Real Africa Travel's services.

I had a great experience with Real Africa Travel, my safari trips to Ambuseli and Hellsgate were well organized and met my expectations. In the future I will consider them and also recommend to whoever wants to experience a real Safari. Special thanks to Tim, Mike and Lilian.

Good experience
Good coordination and pre safari communication from Tim. Our guide Mike was warm and knowledgeable. We really enjoyed the accomodation option included, it was a luxury camp with great service and food. Safari was great, saw 3 out of the big 5 and cheetah which are rare in the mara. Overall good value for money. We did the overnight option and had 6 hours of game drive. If there's time and budget the 3 day option with all day game drive on day 2 would totally be worth it.

Brilliant and Excellent
An unforgettable 3-day safari from Nairobi to Masai Mara exceeded expectations! Huge thanks to @mykissafaris and @realafricatravel for flawless planning. Mike, our incredible guide, ensured we spotted the Big 5 and more – leopards, lions, zebras, elephants, antelopes, giraffes, rhino. Lucky, yes, but also Mike's talent! Accommodating and detailed, they flawlessly executed the plan. Shoutout to Tim for bridging Kenya and US expectations seamlessly. Highly recommend for an amazing trip!
