Amazing, Patient, Accommodating, Fun, Knowledgeable.
Excellent service, fantastic driver, comfortable car, value for money.
Compared many companies before booking Afrimount.
After the Safari found them to be very reliable. Everything that we wanted was delivered including breakfast by the hippos, night Safari, sighting of many baby animals, watching the balloons rise in the Masai Mara, visiting the Tanzanian border mark, the Nairobi National Museum and the Karen Blixen House.
Would hired them again no doubt. We had a fantastic experience.

Amazing host. Flexible plans. Profesional and experienced. Perfect for our trip.
We had the most amazing magical Family Safari in Kenya.
Our host Afrimount Tours/Joseph Odera was a most kind and flexible, which made our trip a most memorable one.
We had constant communication vía whatsapp many months previous to the trip and were advise on several trip related matters like clothes, food, money etc... They presented all the options we though we wanted, including lake Victoria/Tanzania but finally decided to travel for 10 days visiting Masai Mara, Amboseli, Nakuro, Naivasha and Nairobi.
The hotels were well chosen for our needs as we requested pools for our 2 kids (one with special needs). We did some independent research contacting hotels and previous Afrimount clients and everyone came up with great reviews, so we decided to go with Afrimount since the quote we got was very competitive.
We had the time of our lives and hope to go back again soon. Would hire Afrimount again no doubt, Joseph Odera is part of our hearts now, this trip to the heart of Africa touched our family spirit.

Fantastic adventure with superb attention to client expectations and requirements.
The week we had in Kenya was absolutely enchanting. From the moment we stepped out of the plane Joseph and his team really made a big effort to make our trip an unforgettable adventure. We are a party of 4 (mom, dad, one kid 11 and one girl 10 with dissabilities) so the trip was planned to let us know the marvelous game drives in a clever way. We went to Amboseli Park, Nakuru, Naiwasha and Masai Mara in a 4x4 land cruiser that was really comfortable to carry us all (luggage included). Joseph had the wisdom to bring an intern student (Whitney) with us for most of the trip and she really helped to keep the pace and deal with kids on long drives. All parks are unmissable since everyone has specific conditions and particular species that can be seen. Do not expect to see the animals that you previously selected, you will see those and much more. (We only missed the leopard which is usually the one that is not easy to see since it vanishes into the forest). Joseph really knows the parks and will always try to find as much species as he can. Accommodation was fair for the type of hotels we selected (3 stars), but if you want to have a luxury experience you can ask for better options since there are multiple alternatives in every place. Another big positive thing is the positive attitude we've got not only from Joseph and Whitney but from all the people we encountered in hotels, parks, museums and villages. We were always welcomed with a happy smile. As a conclusion I definitely endorse Afrimount Tours and Travel for anyone looking for the best Kenya adventure.

Enthusiastic, great customer service, flexible, passionate about animals & community.
We experienced a 5 day tour of three parks. Prompt service, on-time, flexible, highly reliable and nothing is too much trouble. Excellent local knowledge of Kenya, the parks and where to find the animals. Good value for money and 'always ready' with a smile. We met four guides and all were highly professional. If had to go back to Kenya I would use Joseph and will recommend to friends and family.

The best
We booked our safari with Afrimount and the experience was simply exceptional. Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish. Our guide Joseph was professional and passionate, which made the wildlife viewing even more magical. The accommodations were comfortable and well selected, and the whole trip had a warm and friendly atmosphere. Thank you Joseph for these unforgettable memories – we highly recommend their services!

Would have benefitted from better planning and communication
I'll start off by saying the trip was a lot of fun and we had a great time! However, there were just too many issues along the way for me to give this better than a 3 star review. I had to do a lot of advocating for myself for us to get what we paid for on the itinerary.
1. Boat Ride -- Our itinerary had included a boat ride on the first day of the safari. When we met our guide, he had no idea about this. We then agreed to push this to the final day as there wasn't enough time on day 1.
2. Night Safari Payment -- On night 1, we had a night safari scheduled. Our driver kept asking us if we paid for it and we were confused. We said that we paid Joseph. This was fine, we went on the safari. I note it because it shows that Joseph didn't communicate well with our guide.
3. Wrong Game Drive Park -- Our Itinerary stated that we would do an afternoon game drive in Masai Mara National Reserve. When we got there, our driver told us we would be going to Nashulai Conservancy instead (WAY fewer animals). I got on the phone with the owner, Joseph, and after a bit of arguing, he agreed to let us go to the National Reserve, as our itinerary stated and as we had paid for. It worked out in the end, but not without a bit of trouble and time.
4. Masai Village Visit Fees -- Our itinerary stated all entrance fees were included on the tour. The Masai Village charged us $30 per person to enter. When I asked our driver, he said that Joseph didn't give him any money for this. We didn't bring any money ourselves because we didn't expect to pay for anything, we just had some small change for tips. We weren't able to visit the village and headed back to camp. When brought up to Joseph, he offered for us to go later, but at this point we were tired from the long day. He reduced the fees of our safari for this mistake.
5. Bush Breakfast -- We had paid for a Bush breakfast in our itinerary. I had to double check with the hotel and make sure Joseph was going to go through with this, as he had given us no indication that this was already planned. He said he remembered this, which I doubted given the previously mentioned issues, and that he would take care of it. Later that night, he suggested that instead of doing the bush breakfast at the hotel, we could go to another location and set up some breakfast, but we pushed back for a proper bush breakfast as had been described in our itinerary. We got the bush breakfast in the end, but not without lots of advocacy.
6. Early Morning departure -- Due to the boat ride not being planned well on day 1 and lack of planning for the bush breakfast, Joseph wanted to rush us out early and have us have breakfast at 6am so we could leave camp by 7, do a boat ride and get back to Nairobi by 12. We argued that the boat ride timing was not our doing, that it was poor planning on his part and that we shouldn't suffer that consequence. He agreed and allowed us to have breakfast at 8.
7. No Lunch on last day -- Our itinerary explicitly stated that lunch was included on the last day. On the drive home we stopped for lunch, the bill came and our guides told us Joseph had not included money to cover lunch. We ended up paying for us and our guides. Joseph later apologized and reduced our fee by the lunch price.
So, yea, everything worked out in the end and we really enjoyed our safari experience. However, it wasn't smooth. Joseph didn't communicate our itinerary to our guides or camp at all. He blamed the issues on software that messed up the itinerary, but we had chosen to work with him because of said itinerary. Joseph was accommodating to all of our issues, but there seemed to be an issue with just about every activity. Not the worst experience, but not the best.

An unforgettable safari with Joseph and his team: perfect organization, magnificent lodges ..
I had the chance to go on a safari with Joseph and his team in February 2025, and everything was perfect! The lodges were superb, our guide Dennis was excellent, and the accompaniment throughout the stay was great. Joseph and his team offer high quality services, and if I have to go back to Kenya, it will be with them. I highly recommend!
Knowledge, profession and very passionate about his job
I can say it was worth my money… the guide was patient since we were a large group .
