Very responsive and makes it happen per your requirements, budget, schedule and locations.
5/5

With so many options, ETA was always quick to communicate and ask about what we wanted to do and built a trip around that. WE hiked Mt Kenya, then did a safari and then went to Watamu for some beach time. They made it all happen. All of their guides and drivers were super nice, very knowledgeable and assured that we had the best time. Derek at ETA answered all my many questions, and made for a very pleasant experience. Strong recommendation for ETA Safaris.

Perfect safari tour!
5/5

We booked an 8-day safari and Mombasa tour, and it was an unforgettable experience. We were lucky to have an excellent guide, Denis, and an amazing group of people who bonded really well throughout the trip. Denis was calm, organised, and kept us on schedule while still being flexible when minor changes came up—always keeping us informed. His deep knowledge of wildlife and his keen understanding of animal movements made the safari drives incredibly rewarding. We were thrilled to see the Big Five up close! His African style driving ensured every day was an adventure.

Maasai Mara – The camp accommodation was fantastic: clean, welcoming, and very comfortable. The food was absolutely top-notch. The safari drives were long, but the experience was well worth it. The wildebeest river crossing, though a bit chaotic due to large crowds (not the tour operator’s fault), was still an incredible moment to witness.

Lake Naivasha – The boat ride was $20, with an optional guided walking safari for an additional $20. Our boat guide was a young man full of knowledge and humour, which made the experience even more enjoyable.

Lake Nakuru – This was a beautiful and refreshing part of the journey. The landscape was noticeably different from the other parks, offering a unique contrast and stunning scenery. It was a peaceful experience, and we enjoyed spotting a variety of wildlife in this more serene setting.

Amboseli – While the drive to the campsite was long, dusty, and bumpy, it was absolutely worth it. Nayati Camp was a fantastic place to stay—comfortable, welcoming, and well-situated. Exploring Amboseli National Park felt like stepping into The Lion King, with its breathtaking landscapes, large herds of elephants, and an abundance of birds and wildlife. The views of Mount Kilimanjaro in the background made it all the more magical. Truly unforgettable!

Mombasa – The white sand beaches were absolutely stunning and the perfect way to unwind after our safari adventure. We stayed at The Reef Hotel, which offered a very comfortable and relaxing stay.

A special thanks to Derrick, who was outstanding in organising and accommodating our travel needs. He was incredibly flexible, making necessary adjustments to the itinerary when one of our group members unfortunately experienced severe food poisoning. Despite the change in plans, everything was handled smoothly and with care. Our guides in Mombasa were friendly, and Derrick ensured we had reliable pick-up and drop-off at every stage—completely removing any logistical stress from our trip.

We were truly impressed by ETA Adventures. Their budget package was priced significantly lower than many competitors, yet the experience we received was nothing short of 5-star. Highly recommended!

Safari Dreams: Chasing Wildlife and Sunsets
5/5

This was my first time visiting Kenya. We did an 8-day safari to Masai Mara, Nakuru, Amboseli, and Mombasa—it was intense but so exciting! I was really tired, but also super happy to experience something so different. Before coming, I knew nothing about Africa and was honestly a bit scared. There were some unexpected moments, but the travel agency staff were amazing. Big thanks to the airport driver and especially our guide John—he was funny, patient, and always tried his best to find animals for us. We even shared snacks together. It was a really great trip!

cost-effective
5/5

Advantages: The staff have a great attitude, the prices are reasonable, the itinerary is quite rich, and the drivers are quite capable of spotting animals.
Disadvantages: Since it's a group tour, there are always 5 - 7 tourists on the bus, and they have different accommodation arrangements. The travel agency is the same as Super Eagle, but using different company names during hotel check - in can sometimes be confusing.
Overall, it's a really good trip. However, as the time goes by, I felt a bit tired in the later days, and I'm not quite used to the food in the hotel. The lions in Maasai Mara, the elephant herds at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro, and the brilliant starry sky are all amazing. It's a pity that I didn't get a clear view of the leopard hiding in the bushes. I was a bit disappointed that there aren't many other special animals in Amboseli except the elephant herds.

Big focus on our happiness
5/5

Overall

Our safari was an incredible experience overall. We were lucky enough to see nearly all of the animals we had hoped for—missing only the elusive leopard, which is understandably harder to spot as they’re nocturnal. The value for money was insane - it was great and so much cheaper than the other alternatives for the same thing.

Our group dynamic was really positive; everyone got along well, though the group changed fairly often, which keeps things interesting.

The packed lunches were consistently good—filling and convenient for long days out in the parks.

It’s definitely an exhausting trip, with lots of early mornings, but it was all worth it for the wildlife and scenery. The food was always hearty and generous—sometimes a bit too much given how little physical activity we were doing, but it was always tasty and appreciated.

One of the best aspects was how well-placed all of our accommodations were—right near the national parks, which made our days much more efficient and enjoyable.

Derrick

We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Derrick who helped organise the trip. He is incredibly kind, extremely reliable, and always willing to help—no matter the time. He even answered our calls at night without hesitation, helped us move our safari seamlessly, offered valuable advice on visas, and went the extra mile to book our train tickets.

What stood out most was how well-organised he is. Derrick managed to plan a unique, personalised trip for us, making everything feel effortless and smooth. We couldn’t recommend him more highly!

Anthony

Anthony was an absolutely brilliant driver for the Masai Mara. His attitude truly reflected the mindset: “I want to make you happy”—which should honestly be the motto of the whole company.

He’s an exceptional driver, getting us impressively close to the wildlife while always ensuring we felt safe and informed. Though quiet, Anthony shared just the right amount of information—he clearly knew the animals and the land inside out. We never missed a moment—from a hunting cheetah to lions feeding—and Anthony often got us to the scene early.

Leroy

Leroy was an outstanding guide from start to finish. His knowledge of the animals was truly impressive, and he communicated everything so clearly—his English is excellent, which made everything smooth and easy to follow.

He’s a skilled and reliable driver, and we always felt in safe hands. Beyond that, Leroy was incredibly approachable—easy to talk to and always happy to answer our questions. He shared stories about his life and gave us so much insight into Kenya, which added real depth to our experience.

One moment that really stood out was how hard he worked to make sure we caught our train at the end of the trip. He completely understood our needs and worked with us every step of the way to make it happen.

Masai Mara

We had a lovely stay at Flair Camp Experiences. The staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and genuinely keen to help. They always made sure we felt safe and looked after—escorting us to our tent each evening with a torch.

The food was a real highlight—absolutely delicious. The chef was fantastic, consistently serving up impressive four-course meals.

There were, however, a few practical issues during our stay. Electricity was a bit temperamental, especially when it rained, and in our tent, the plug sockets and hot water didn’t work, which was a little frustrating.

That said, the overall experience was warm, welcoming, and memorable—and with just a few improvements, it could be truly exceptional.

Nakuru

Buraha Zenoni Hotel & Resort was a comfortable and pleasant place to stay. The rooms were very clean and nicely maintained, and the overall atmosphere of the hotel had a relaxing, resort-like feel.

We were only there for one night so, unfortunately, we didn’t have time to take advantage of the facilities, but everything looked well-kept and inviting. One small downside was that our toilet didn’t flush overnight and we weren’t forewarned—something that could definitely be improved.

The buffet was a real highlight, offering a wide variety of tasty options, and the view from the restaurant was absolutely beautiful.

Amboseli

Nyali Safari Camp was a real highlight of our trip. The views of Mount Kilimanjaro were absolutely stunning—waking up to that backdrop was unforgettable. The tents were incredibly spacious; ours had five four-poster double beds, all with mosquito nets, which made it feel both luxurious and practical.

The staff were quick and efficient—when a lightbulb wasn’t working, it was fixed within 10 minutes. The buffet had plenty of good options, and the overall facilities were excellent, offering both comfort and convenience.
