safari with homestay
On our safari we also did a homestay, which was a great culturale experience. We saw the beautiful country, learned so much about the Kenyan Culture. We had three homecooked meals a day, by our great cook Sammy. The best thing to do on a visit in a country is a homestay, to learn about the people, the culture and the food. Kikwetu makes that possible. I would advise anybody to book with Kikwetu.

Once in a life time experience
I went with one of my friends during Feb. Sam and Peter were really nice, and they are very knowledgeable. This is a one in a life time experience and I would definitely recommend to anyone who want to experience the nature .

a fantastic trip! many thanks to Kikwetu team.
This was my first trip to a safari after years of travelling to many other parts of the world. We usually try to make our own travel arrangements but knowing this option would be quite difficult for Kenya, we contacted several tour agencies including Kikwetu. We decided to go with Kikwetu for two reasons: the very good reviews we read on Tripadvisors and the prompt responses with many details from Kenneth, Kikwetu's tour advisor. We were elated to find out that Kikwetu really lived up to the reputation from the reviews we read. Peter, our driver, was great. He was knowledgeable of the safaris and a very safe driver. He knew what we wanted to see and always looked out for our best interests. He really took good care of us and we felt very lucky to have him as our driver/guide. As the results, we had a fantastic experience at Amboseli and Maasai Mara. We did not see all big fives (rhino and leopard) but we saw many other animals and took many many great photos. This was an experience that we will not forget. We highly recommend Kikwetu as tour guide for visiting Kenya!

Exceptional safari + holiday; value for money
After booking our KLM-flight Amsterdam-Nairobi ourselves, we asked Kikwetu (Tour-consultant Kenneth) to organise our 16-days Safari + holiday-programm in Kenya.
They have kept their promises for more than 100% and took care of everything (up to the smallest details) ; hotels and lodges, visits of the parks, 4 local internal flights , hotels in Nairobi, Lamu and Diani Beach, local transport to and from the airports, etc.. We had one of our best holiday-experiences ever.
In the first week we visited the the 4 parks Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha and Amboseli. Our driver Livingson (an excetional but safe driver) showed us the big 5, many other animals and (of cource) a Masai Mara village.
All accomodations were perfect (we especially liked Sekenani-camp in Masai Mara) and state of the art. The programm was not too strict so we also spent some afternoons at the pool and visited several interesting places "on the road" (Crater Lake, a hospital, an animalfeed-store, etc.)
After 7 days in the parks, we spent 3 days in a private house in Lamu Sheela Beach (www.houseinlamu.com); another exceptional location with an exceptional cook Eddie; who prepared the best Lamu seafood for us and also gave good advices on Dhow-trips and other interesting things "to do". We finally spent 4 days in Diani-beach (Southern Palm Resort). An exceptional hotel and a lovely experience; especially for our 16, 17 and 19 year children who particularly like the hotel's Activity Crew (waterpolo, volleybal, evening-programm, etc).
We thank Kikwetu (Kenneth and his staff) for an exceptional Safari- and Kenya-experience.
Their professionalism was remarkable so we fully recommend them to everybody.

Wonderful 6 days safari
Since the first mail I crossed with Kenneth I was feeling that everything will work out properly, but once I arrived to Nairobi airport it even exceed my expectations!!
I'm very happy with all the days I've expend in this trip and the way that Ken and Livingston handled my stay. The lodges I've stayed in (Sopa lodges) were really comfortable and with a very good food. I'll definitively recommend to put yourselves on Ken hands and you'll have an unforgettable experience.
Thanks for all!!!

An amazing experience
We have just returned from a seven day tour of Amboseli, Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru and the Masai Mara. The excellent reviews of this company proved well deserved. We are a mature aged couple who travelled with a first class guide and excellent driver in a safari van with a pop-up roof. From the start, Kenneth had responded promptly to our needs, with very helpful suggestions and information. The accommodation arranged was very good, and though there was a lot of driving involved we profited from the expertise of our guide and driver not only to spot the full range of animals, even when they were camouflaged in the wilderness, but also to learn details of their habitat. A highly recommended team.

Awesome Safaris
I would like to thank Kenneth and his team for organizing an awesome safari for us. We simply gave him our expectations and he did plan us a very wonderful safari for us. To our surprise the safari was really personalized and very affordale.
We were able to change some few things here and there while on the safari with no extra cost. We would like to recommend Kikwetu Cultural Adventures to anyone who wish to visit Kenya and Uganda. Congrats Kenneth

Unforgettable experience
This was my second time on safari but first time in Kenya, this was unforgettable 6 days safari experience. what they planned for me was much better than the previous one. my guide, Domnic was very knowledgeable and had a very deep knowledge of everything. I wanted to see elephants, buffaloes, lions, rhinos etc but never thought that i would be able to see them so closely. Kikwetu cultural adventures team was very friendly and understanding, they were always ready to answer our questions.

They were extremely professional and organized, with all the accommodations and activities we wanted
In case you're looking for a hassle-free way to enjoy the wildlife in Kenya, I recommend using Kikwetu Cultural Adventures company. They organized everything for us and were very easy to work with. We were two people travelling and were picked up from the airport by our guide who was very friendly and also gave us a lot of information about the region and culture of the people. The hotel was superb, great food and friendly staff. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the wildlife and he was really patient with our questions. I would recommend using Kikwetu Cultural Adventures to anyone who is looking to do a safari in Kenya.
