Excellent
Excellent value for money. We were able to see the Big 5, and a special mention to David, our driver, who went above and beyond to help us see all the animals.

Good Value except for the Guide and Vehicle
The tour was a good value for the price. The accommodations were good for the what was charged. I was able to see and do everything I wanted and I enjoyed myself. The only drawbacks were the tour guide who was distracted and on his phone a lot and the vehicle interior was poorly maintained with ripped seat covers, trash from prior tours and poorly functioning seats.

Very helpful and kind
We had an amazing experience in Kenya, thanks to our guide Kush. He was professional, knowledgeable, and always made sure we were comfortable and well taken care of. His deep understanding of wildlife and local culture made every moment unforgettable. Kush’s friendly personality and attention to detail truly enhanced our journey. We are very satisfied with this trip and grateful to have had him as our guide.

The best Guide 'KUSH'
If you're not afraid of getting tired, you can choose KUSH. We were already on our way back when he suddenly turned around and said someone had spotted a leopard! He could have just gone back because we couldn't understand what he was saying on the intercom, but we ended up seeing the Big Five leopards! I loved his dedication, responsibility, and care for us! Thank you!
FYI, Kush is single and looking for a wife ! 😉

A Very Mixed Experience.
During our 6 day safari, our guide, Stephen, alone, worked tirelessly, sometimes driving 7 hours in a day. His communication to the group could have been far better, clearer and louder, but he was friendly, very knowledgeable about the animals, tried hard and did his best to help us tick off the big five. We achieved this, but only managed to see Rhino at a distance, and did not see a leopard.
The Maasai clearly have a strangle-hold over all of these safaris that comes across as if it is a Mafia-type of situation. They control the gates to all the game reserves, it was their tourist camps we were taken to, and it was their shops with heavy-handed sales tactics and ridiculous prices that all the tourists were constantly taken to throughout the trip. The camps all serve the same boring tasteless food in bulk. Beef stew, chicken pieces, rice and mixed veg. This is what you will eat for every single meal, every day for 6 days. Left over chicken is packed up for bland tin-foil packed lunches.
Roads around the Maasai Mara are 100 times worse than you can imagine, even in a Toyota Land Cruiser Jeep. My spine was killing from being sledgehammered after these two days of the trip, and I had cuts and bruises on my shoulders from being bashed into the jeep walls. Nokuru and Amboselli roads were far better. Book a Jeep. Do not book one of these safaris in a van, you will massively regret it!!!
Manjaro tented camp was a dump. Staff were unwelcoming, bossy and miserable. Our tent and mosquito net did not close, even though they stated that if it was not closed, baboons could steal your belongings. The camp smelt of raw sewage, and the tent toilet did not work. They kindly provided me with a bucket to pour sink water into the loo as a substitute. The bedside lamp did not work and the only lightswitch with loose visible wiring was about 6 foot from the bed.
Be prepared for lots and lots of driving, ..........like whole days of driving, on sometimes pretty scary roads, and pray your driver has good judgement while overtaking at high speed on terrible roads.
At all three parks, some beautiful scenes of animals together were spoiled by overcrowding of vehicles. Usually a pride of lions or Cheetah will be surrounded by 20-30 vehicles. Loud, stupid Kenyan vehicle drivers shout to each other loudly in Swahili, and truckfulls of ignorant tourists talk loudly, even by animals very sensitive to sound. On several occasions, this clown-show led to the animals being scared off, and missing out chasing down a meal. On one occasion, there were so many trucks (about 50!!!), the wildabeest could not even get through to cross the river.
If you go to the Maasai village, be prepared to be surrounded and sold heavily to. Also, if a bracelet is worth 100-200KES, they will price it at 2500-3000KES, to start any negotiation. On our trip, they were so focused on selling to us, they did not even let us meet the chief, which was supposed to be a key part of the visit. Also be prepared to be stopped by the police with guns in Ambosselli, for a short river walk with a bribe. As Stephen did not properly explain or prepare us for this in advance, we panicked as we thought we were being robbed.
By the end of the trip, we had definitely had enough. The awful food and constantly being treated like a fool by the tireless heavy selling tactics of the Maasai had got a bit wearing. It was summed up by the Maasai children. You say 'Hi' to them, they hold their hand out for payment.
If it wasn't for the hard work of Stephen, this safari would only have been a 1 or 2 star experience.

warm and professional
A very good local tour operator. The tour guide John was very diligent in finding various animals. The car was equipped with a radio and he would step on the accelerator and rush to the scene as soon as he saw an animal. Highly recommended

Highly skilled driver, super knowledgable and a great company!
Caleb was the best driver we could have asked for the 7 days trip! He's always on time, highly skilled driver on both kenyan roads and on the national park gravel roads. He really knows where to find the right spots for animal watching and he can get to those spots really really fast. We've seen all the big five and some incredible sunsets too. He's shared a lot of knowledge about the animals as well as the local culture. He is very friendly and was always prompt when we had some questions. You could also tell everyone in the community knows him. Overall we were super happy with Caleb and would definitely recommend!! Also has some amazing dance moves and great taste in music :)
