Brilliant
It was our first safari so we didn't know what to expect or what we needed for the trip but Boniface was truly helpful. He gave us all the information we needed (what to pack, safest areas to stay etc.) whilst helping us to plan out the trip, not only to the national parks (Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Amboseli, Nairobi) but also to the other animal related activities like the giraffe sanctuary in Nairobi.
One thing we loved was how the days were planned out. We got the most out of the trip while still being able to get adequate rest, which can be such a challenge on adventure holidays. We didn't have to worry once about getting from one place to another; the team were punctual, reliable and attentive.
Another thing that we loved was how affordable it was. We were offered a competitive price and were able to enjoy all of the things that people go on safari/ travel to this lovely country for on a budget.
We simply told him what our requirements were and he gave us a wonderful trip. His team are also very knowledgable and this meant that we saw a lot of animals on the trip and had all of our questions answered. Boniface had great recommendations for accommodation, places to eat and activities to do around Kenya. We couldn't have planned a better itinerary without him. We will definitely be coming to Kenya again for another safari and we will always stick with Boniface.

Extraordinary!
First time ever going on a safari and had the most wonderful experience. Boniface and his team are super attentive and really focus on the details that make it enjoyable. They are particularly knowledgeable about where to find the animals and very good at answering questions.
Boniface went above and beyond to make sure that our whole trip was special. We were never stressed about transport or amenities as he has a great network of contacts that offer quality services and great suggestions for things to do and places to eat.
From timings and accommodations to seeing the animals, we had a fantastic time and will definitely be booking with Boniface again.

Fantastic
I did this tour in the summer of 2023 in Kenya. My tour guide was Bonnie and he was amazing! Super welcoming and friendly from the minute he picked me and my family up at the airport. He was very knowledgeable about all the places he showed us and the animals we saw. We were able to see all of the big 5 (except the leopards) but it’s okay because we got lucky enough to see cheetahs, lion cubs and hyenas instead. Bonnie did amazing teaching us about the different types of animals and distinguishing between the Masai giraffes and regular African giraffes. He was always very respectful of the animals space and not getting too close to disturb them or chase them away since a lot of tourists will encourage their guides to chase after animals for photos (please don’t be that person). Seeing animals in their natural habitat roaming free will always be better than seeing them at a zoo, and also a reminder that we share this planet with them and must look out for them. When I go back I will be requesting Bonnie again. Overall this was an amazing once in a lifetime trip and if you have the opportunity please go. You’ll leave with a different appreciation for the world.

An exceptional adventure – everything I dreamed of safari be
Based on my families’s experience, I unreservedly recommend Fancina Africa Tours.
From A-to-Z, Fancina Africa Tours had us covered, including:
- airport pick up and drop off
- local Nairobi touring, including the giraffe center, and the Masai market
- 6 day Safari, which covered national parks at Lake Nakuru, Hell’s Gate the Masai Mara, and Amboselli.
Our guide Boniface ensured that we experienced a trip of a lifetime. Whether on game drives, bicycling through Hell’s Gate alongside the animals, or a sunrise ballooning experience where we had the opportunity to see Mount Kilimanjaro, Boniface covered all our objectives for the Safari were met. He clearly takes pride in what he does.
Thank you Fancina Tours for making this an unforgettable experience for my family!

Boniface was an exceptional guide who consistently went above and beyond!
I have just completed my second safari with Boniface, who is an exceptional guide, and I can confidently say that he will go above and beyond to host a superb safari.
As a North American traveller to Kenya, my three priorities when planning our trip was to (1) see the best parks and animals, (2) find a guide that I can trust, and (3) ensure our safety on the trip.
Boniface not only worked with me to plan the best safari and visit the parks with the animals that I wanted to see (Maasai Mara, Amboseli, Nakuru), he also brings a wealth of knowledge about the animals and is a master at navigating the parks, spotting animals, and supporting the “extra experiences” outside of game drives including a visit to the Maasai village, a balloon ride, biking at Hell’s Gate, visiting the Giraffe Centre, Maasai Market, and City Park in Nairobi to see the playful monkeys.
In terms of trust and safety, I can wholeheartedly say that I feel super safe with Boniface. He did an excellent job to ensure our safety at all locations, including ensuring our belongings were safe in his vehicle. Boniface was receptive to our additional requests, many questions, and provided guidance to assist with currency conversion, “do’s and don’ts” while in specific areas, etc.
I first travelled to Kenya in 2023 and booked with Boniface for the reason that he was able to provide a custom itinerary for my group at a reasonable price. I travelled with Boniface again in 2026, bringing a new group to Kenya, where I purposefully chose to travel with Boniface for the high-end value he brings. I can confidently say that every trip with Boniface is well worth the cost and a once-in-a-lifetime experience. When deciding to return to Kenya in 2026, there was no question to book with Boniface - I knew this was the right decision.
Working with Boniface to plan our 6-day safari (+2 additional days around Nairobi) was super easy and pleasant. As a frequent traveller, I had high expectations and many asks for Boniface. He took care of all bookings and made the process seamless. After a family emergency, I needed to reschedule our trip - Boniface was very understanding, accommodating, and worked tirelessly to rebook for us. His patience and calm nature make him the ideal planner and guide. He ensures that you are enjoying your vacation, and that you are relaxed for your safari.
Within the parks, we saw Lions, Giraffes, Hippos, Impala, Cheetahs, Wildebeests, Ostrich’s, Camels, Flamingos, Baboons, Zebra, warthogs, etc. Boniface ensured that we saw each animal as close as possible and had every photo opportunity that we wanted.
Overall, this was a successful second trip with Boniface, and I look forward to returning to travel with Boniface again. He is a genuinely great guy and will make your trip to Kenya unforgettable. I cannot recommend Boniface enough!

Boniface was the most patient, knowledgeable and friendly tour guide you could ever ask for.
I can’t say enough good words about Boniface! I was nervous going into this trip but I can now say with 100% confidence that this trip would not have been as smooth, stress-free, safe and entertaining without Boniface leading our trip to Kenya.
Boniface is very well connected to many of the hotels, local companies for activities, has a great understanding of an ideal timeline of events and he is very flexible in his timing to fit your needs. We were extremely impressed with Boniface’s ability to navigate the chaotic Kenya traffic, as well as always driving with extra care on the unpaved roads in the Kenyan game parks.
It’s also important to note that while he was very flexible with the schedule if need be, Boniface was never late, in fact he was always ready early. That combined with his knowledge, his genuine care for your experience and his ability to keep you safe, made this tour immensely great value for our money.
We will never forget this once in a lifetime trip. Asante sana, Boniface!

Professional and trustworthy
We are a group of 18 from Malaysia, Singapore and Australia. Decided to try Fancina Africa Tours and Safari (FATS) on recommendation of a friend
We chose the budget safari tour.
6 of us flew in early and stayed in Acacia Tree Lodge, which gave us a wonderful 1st impression of Kenya’s hospitality. Love the place ( see my review of the place)
Our 1st safari with FATS was to Amboseli Nat park. Terrific. Saw alot of game there.
With the rest of the group, we travelled via 3 vans ( 6 per van) to Masai Mara. Spent 2 days there. Didnt know the entrance to the park was USD 200 per pax per day! ( it the peak season)
The accommodation outside MasaiMara was very basic. Imagine the lock on our door was just a bend nail! The ladies understandably felt insecure.
The Nakuru Nat park was awesome. The wildlife there blew us away. The optional boat ride and Sanctuary walk was amazing. On our last day, we cycled in Hell’s gate and visited the gorge
We were touched FATS presented a cake to our birthday girl.
In summary, even-though, we chose a budget safari tour, we managed to see more game that we expected ( and more than those on the luxury tours). The food including breakfast/ lunch/ dinner was palatable and adequate and there were free H2O in our vans.
My group was lucky to have Mike as our driver. He was knowledgeable, polite and most importantly a safe driver. ( traffic in Kenya is terrible)
This tour by Fancina Africa exceeded out expectations and most us had a great time.
Will definitely recommend them
