Beyond Our Wildest Expectations!
We just returned from a two-week trip to Kenya and all we can say is that this was a truly amazing journey. On par with our 2019 trip to the Galapagos Islands and the Amazon Rain Forest. It was a private tour for my wife and myself. We started in Maasai Mara, moved onto Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru, Amboseli and Tsavo West before finishing up in Mombasa. The safaris were all excellent. We actually saw all of the "Big Five" within the first two days at Maasia Mara. That included a leopard sleeping in a tree with a zebra it had mostly devoured. Another highlight was seeing a group of five male cheetahs hunting together as a pack. We also saw many black and white rhinos at Lake Nakuru, hundreds of elephants, more than a dozen lions, and giraffes, cape buffalo and hippos too numerous to count. Not to mention monkeys, jackals, serval cats, bat-eared foxes, hyenas with puppies and more than 100 different species of birds.
John Peter, the owner, was very responsive and accommodating. Our driver and guide, Davido, was world-class. Truly. He could not have done a better job spotting game and drove us down the worst road in Kenya with amazing skill. Any request we had he did his best to fulfill.
Highly recommended!!!

Amazing Masai Mara
The full arrangement was top class. The pick up/drop off, drive to Masai Mara and Nukuru, lodges in these location were all excellent. The drivers/guides were very courteous and went out of their way to make our safari an amazing experience. Our tour agent Mr Peter came to our hotel just to welcome us on our arrival. My 2 year old got very attached to our guide and still remembers him. Excellent service!! Highly recommended

Exceeded expectations
Easy to work with, Joseph was a perfect guide for our group. Saw every animal, bird, flora and babies too! Accommodations and food comfortable and very tasty. Saw all of Kenya, long drives between resorts a bit bumpy and long but well worth it to see all we did. Highly recommend for the price point.

Mombasa holiday and mida creep tour
I contacted African Paradise safaris on behalf of other 20 group members.
John organized a 5 days tour in watamu at temple point beach resort. And we managed to do mida creek and dolphin tour.
Everything was well organized and fairly priced.

Great Safari. Excellent customer service from the beginning to the end of the trip.
We recently had our first Kenya adventure, which comprised of a five day safari and time in Elphant Orphan also Giraffe Orphan.We traveled with extended family and my 4 best friend. We were equally excited and apprehensive about our trip to Kenya, we had no experience of Kenya previously and weren’t sure what to expect.
African Paradise delivered an experience that far surpassed our expectations! John Peter attention to detail before we got there and during our stay meant we didn’t have to think about anything. he requested things for us that we hadn’t even thought we needed, he checked and double checked things were in place. The accommodation/transfers/safari intenery were all tailored made to meet our interests and wishes.
While on safari John and Jose were the most fantastic guides. They amazed us with there ability to spot things that seemed invisible to us. They picked up quickly what animals we loved and made sure to point them out. They also suggested a great variety of game drives which took us to a real selection of sights. We kind of followed their lead in terms of ideas of places to visit and I’m so glad we did.
The overriding thing that stuck us about both African Paradise and Kenya agenerall was how welcoming everyone was to us. He was like a superstar for the duration of the holiday, nothing was too much trouble and people were so welcoming and kind to him (and all of us). He, like us, had a holiday of a lifetime thanks to the efforts of African Paradise Safaris.

Best trip that was well planned and like a private tour!
This was a well organized and comprehensive tour that covered a range of national parks and reserves. It was always fun and informative with different and varied venues each day. John Peter was always attentive and answered every question almost immediately (and I had many questions) our guide/driver (John) became a friend and will miss him as he was awesome! This went beyond my expectations and I would recommend the tour and company highly to anyone. It was like being on a private tour with all the attention we received. Thank you for making it so special!

Excellent 9 Day Kenya Safari with Nkonge
We had a wonderful safari with African Paradise Safaris!
From the beginning, when we were still shopping around, John Peter was very responsive and helpful with getting our itinerary put together. I never had to wait long for answers to any questions that I had, and he was able to put together a great itinerary for us, at a very competitive price.
When we arrived in Nairobi, we were greeted by our guide, John (Nkonge). He was very friendly, and got us to our hotel safely, while explaining a little bit about Nairobi.
The next day we began our 9 day journey with John, and what a wonderful time it was! We went to Amboseli, Lake Naivasha, Masai Mara, and Lake Nakuru. The entire time, Nkonge did everything in his power to make sure we were comfortable and having a good time. He was never intrusive, making sure to give us space and privacy, yet whenever we needed him for something, he was always available, or just seemed to be there. The main focus of the trip, of course, was the game drives, and Nkonge was determined to make sure we saw a good amount of wildlife. We saw 4 of the big five (no leopards, but we did see cheetahs), and we were thrilled with every sighting.
The vehicle was comfortable and felt safe. There was always bottled water for us in the van. We felt very safe, and well cared for the entire time, and we really enjoyed our time with Nkonge.
I would definitely recommend African Paradise Safaris!
