Friendly and jovial who was really informative and guided the tour with outmost professionalism.
We had an excellent safari in Kenya courtesy of Safari Zest Tours. The trip initially was supposed to be 5 days but ended up extending with 3 days. We started by an early game drive in Nairobi National Park which was spectacular, the view of the city, spotting of rhinos, crocodiles and herds of buffalos. Then the visit to Ol Pejeta Conservancy in the Northern Kenya where we spotted all big five animals, chimpanzees, the remaining species of Rhinos and many more. Camping at Mt. Kenya was enjoyable although the weather around was cold and windy, it was fun having the night bonfire and stories from the locals. Kelvin who was in constant communication with us suggested if we could try the Kenyan beaches and since it was our first time in Africa, we decided to give it a trail and he customized for us an itinerary to the Kenyan coastal at an affordable price despite being an extension and short time confirmation. Everything worked out well and we enjoyed beyond expectations. With no doubt, we strongly recommend the company as they're real travel partners!!!

Book a tour with Safari Zest and you will not regret it! You will have an amazing experience!
I planned my holiday with Safari Zest Tours. I was accompanied by two friends who are wildlife and bird enthusiasts! We did a private jeep safari in Kenya. We started at Meru National Park where we observed the Big Five! It is also home to one of the largest populations of rhinos and Buffalos in Kenya. We saw hundreds of bird species including the critically endangered Hindes Babbler. It was an awesome experience. For a change of habitat and experience, we headed off to Kakamega Forest National Reserve in Western Kenya and we were able to spot over 100 unique species, including the critically endangered Hooded Vulture. We were also lucky to spot the venomous Gabon viper around the campsite! Petrifying and also exciting at the same time! After three days, we opted for a change of scenery and drove to Tanzania, stopping at the world's renowned extinct volcano in Ngorongoro. The views were amazing, and the hikes through the highlands were just spectacular. We interacted with the Maasai community that lives around the crater. Lots of wildlife viewing and scenic beauty were one of the highlights in Ngorongoro. We then flew back to JKIA after a long trip by Safari Zest Safaris. I highly recommend Safari Zest tours to anyone wishing to have a wonderful trip in any East African country.

Memorable safari.
The beautiful skyline was the peak of our safari as we landed in JKIA, Very welcoming tour guide who spotted me and my family from away and boarding the land cruiser 4*4 as we departed the airport off to the hotel, Check in was smooth and detailed, Next morning we entailed to the long awaited safari to Maasai mara and had an amazing stop over at viewpoint With spectacular views of Mount Longonot, very memorable souvenirs from the curio shop too. My wife and son were so amazed by the beautiful scenery in Maasai mara and thanks to our most hospitable tour guide who ensured we got to spot the big five and cracked jokes ,Ensured we enjoyed our safari to the latter. The Maasai culture and high jump was out of this world.
Memorable memories indeed by safari zest tours.Asante Sana

Memorable Kenyan safari with super Safari Guide and Excellent Safari company.
Me and my friends travel to many destinations across the World. Safari Zest Tours (Kenyan Based Tour operator) is one of the best, well-run company I've ever worked with. Kelvin, our trip organizer, was fantastic! He was super responsive, fast and answered dozens and dozens of questions for us. He priced many different options for us and gave us great recommendations. Everything he recommended like where to go and where to stay was accurate and worked out great. I had a couple of special requests which I couldn't imagine can be met considering they were last minute, all were delivered without any hiccup. Safari Zest Tours was very organized and provided everything we needed from the time we landed at the airport until our guide dropped us off at the airport at the end of our trip. Our guide, Nathaniel, was also fantastic! He worked tirelessly to make sure we saw the animals we have always wished to see. He was also very knowledgeable on animal habits and where and when to see them. We spent 7 days with Nathaniel on various game drives across Amboseli and the Masai Mara. He was very patient with us and made plans every night for the following day. He let us decide on the type of game drives we wanted to do and when to go. A good guide is a must for a successful Safari. I found Safari Zest Tours also to be extremely affordable compared to other options. I can't recommend this company enough. They gave us a Memorable experience. You're ultimately the best travel partners.

Kelvin is very informed, resourceful, a good listener and fun!
We did a 9- day safaris with Safari Zest Tours, visiting Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Amboseli, Tsavo West and Tsavo East National Parks.
We settled for Safari Zest after spending quite a bit of time researching online.
From the beginning, Kelvin responded to me quickly and was very helpful, tailoring the safari to suit our needs.
The safari itself went well, although it was probably a little bit long. We figured we were only going to do a safari in Kenya once in our life!
My favourite parks were definitely Amboseli and the two Tsavos. Masai Mara was most amazing, very green, wide variety of wildlife and clear views of the skies.
Despite having travelled high season, the accommodation facilities booked never disappointed at all.
My 3 friends and I found value for money on that Safari to Kenya.
It was a great experience for us and we are planning to go back soon!
Bravo! Bravo Team Safari Zest.
