Delightful
We thoroughly enjoyed our experience with the Mara Wanderlust, particularly Naomi, our tour guide, David our driver and Donna. Naomi was very personable and pleasant, gave us personal attention and made sure we had a good time. I recommend and rate them very highly. Book them for an unforgettable experience!!!

An Unforgettable First Trip to Kenya
I had an amazing experience with Mara Wanderlust, and I couldn’t have asked for a better team to organize my first trip to Kenya.
A special acknowledgement to Naomi, who was my main point of contact even before I arrived. From the planning stage, she was incredibly accommodating of all my requests while also sharing her own recommendations and inputs to help us put together the best possible itinerary. She was responsive, patient, and genuinely invested in making sure everything was well arranged. What impressed me even more was that her support didn’t end when the tour was over—she continued to check on us afterward and proactively asked for constructive feedback about our experience. That really showed how much she and the company care about their guests and about continuously improving what they offer.
And of course, a huge thank you to Michael, our guide, who was a major part of what made the trip so memorable. From the beginning, he was incredibly friendly and easy to get along with, and we quickly developed a great rapport. We aligned on our preferred timings, and he was consistently punctual and reliable throughout the trip.
Michael always made our safety and comfort a priority. He looked out for us at every stage and made sure we weren’t unnecessarily bothered or put in uncomfortable situations. Whenever something wasn’t right, he was also quick to speak up and raise concerns on our behalf, which made us feel very well taken care of.
His knowledge of Kenya, the safari, the wildlife and the places we visited was excellent. He constantly shared interesting information and fun facts about the animals, which made every game drive much more meaningful. He also understood how important the photos and videos were to us and went out of his way to help us get the best possible sightings, angles and memories. His own passion for photography and wildlife really matched our enthusiasm, which made the experience even more enjoyable.
Most importantly, Michael never made the trip feel like he was simply doing his job. His enthusiasm, friendliness and genuine passion came through every day, and by the end of the trip, it felt like we had travelled with a friend rather than just a guide.
From the planning with Naomi to experiencing Kenya with Michael, Mara Wanderlust delivered an incredibly personal, well-organized and memorable safari experience. For my first visit to Kenya, I genuinely could not have asked for a better introduction to the country.
Highly recommended, and I would absolutely choose Mara Wanderlust again for another Kenya adventure. 🇰🇪

Reliable and efficient tour partner ♥️
We had an absolutely wonderful experience with our tour operator in Kenya! From start to finish, everything was handled professionally, efficiently, and reliably. Our entire tour was perfect, fun, and safe, with no major hiccups along the way.
A special mention goes to Naomi, who was incredibly attentive and helpful throughout our trip. She made sure we were well taken care of and was always quick to respond to our questions and requests. Her excellent communication and genuine care gave us great peace of mind, especially while travelling.
Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Everything was well organized, we felt safe and looked after, and we were able to simply relax and enjoy the beauty and adventure of Kenya.
Highly recommended! We would definitely choose them again for a future trip to Kenya. 🇰🇪❤️

Very trustworthy
Value for money—check. Excellent communicator—check. From pre-planning to heading back home, Naomi from The Mara Wanderlust was always there for us. She made sure we were safe, having fun, and staying on schedule. She even let us adjust our itinerary mid-trip so we could maximize everything we saw. I highly recommend this agency to anyone looking to book a tour!

Wonderful arrangement
Had a really good experience with the arrangement for my Nairobi trip. Everything was smooth, well organised and completely hassle-free from start to finish.
Special thanks to Naomi for coordinating everything so well and for always being helpful and responsive throughout the trip. It really made the whole experience much easier and more enjoyable.
I genuinely appreciate the care and effort that went into the arrangements. I would happily recommend Naomi and the team to anyone planning a trip to Nairobi, and I would definitely use them again in the future.
