Great Services
My friend and I planned our Kenyan safari for last month. We had no clue what to expect, so we searched online and read many reviews from different companies. We finally settled for Kikwetu cultural adventures. Ken organized a tour for us and tailor made it to what we were most comfortable with. We talked about our budgets and he helped make decisions that fit it. He replied all emails promptly. We had an amazing driver, Salim. He was very knowledgeable about the game parks and animals that we saw. He was always punctual, professional and respectful. He went out of the way to help us out. The safari was great, the only thing I would advice is if, you are doing a one day in Lk Naivasha enroute Maasai mara from Amboseli, you should probably choose to do the walk in Hells gate. we went a little further to Crate(something), the drive from Amboseli to Naivasha is quite far and well affected by traffic, so it wasn't idea to drive another hr to go walk in Crate, I would highly recommend the boat ride in Naivasha for bird lovers, we did it in the early morning before we left for Maasai Mara. it was the busiest time for birds and it was wonderful.
We want to thank Ken and Salim for making this safari a beautiful experience for us.
I would not hesitate to recommend them to others.

I had gamedrive over the masaimara reserve, and amboselli N.P.
I enjoy very much, especially wild animals were crossing the river Mara
additionally, gamedriver, his name Greece(spell is not correct) was exccellent.
Only food of camp in masaimara is worse for me

Private Safari around Kenya - A Wonderful Experience!!!
I would like to share my experience with “Kikwetu Cultural Adventures” with you.. In spring 2015 I started planning my trip to Kenya (initially scheduled for July 2015). I found Kikwetu searching on line, and decided to take a chance as it advertised personal tours. Kenneth, the representative from Kikwetu, was just amazing. Over the months of preparation he kept answering all my emails immediately, listening to what I wanted to do, was rather patient with my requested changes and was offering good suggestions when needed. In June 2015 I sent a deposit, but shortly after that I had to postpone my whole trip to Kenya due to the capital controls that were imposed in Greece. Kenneth was once again so patient and helpful with me, and at the end he accepted to keep the deposit for next year without charging me any extra fees.
In the beginning of 2016 I started again planning my safari in Kenya. Kenneth once again was there for me. Along with his help we ‘designed’ a custom made 11 days private safari in July 2016. When I arrived at the airport, I was picked up at the airport by Livingston, my private driver/tour guide for the following eleven days. Needless to say that Livingston was just perfect. The best possible guide I could possibly have! On our first day we took a visit in Nairobi and during the following days we visited 5 national parks around Kenya (Samburu, Lake Naivasa, Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara, Amboseli). The whole trip ran smoothly without any surprises. We saw the ‘Big 5’ and many other animals. Accommodation and food was really good.
During my last day, and because of the fact that I had to catch a late flight back to Athens, Livingston and Kenneth spent the whole day with me and helped me to see some really interesting sights of Nairobi.
I know that “Kikwetu Cultural Adventures” also arranges tours to other African Countries around Kenya and I will surely ask for their services for my upcoming visit to Ethiopia which undoubtedly will be perfectly organized as well!
Thank you Kenneth! Thank you Livingston!

Safari and city vacation for two.
My daughter and I visited Kenya after her graduation from residency. As a woman in her 70's I did not feel up to going to Africa my first time without some kind of support, though did not want to take a regular tour. I found Kikwetu searching on line, and decided to take a chance as it advertised personal tours. Kenneth of Kikwetu was amazing. Over the months of preparation he answered every email immediately, listened to what I wanted to do, was patient with my requested changes, and had good suggestions when needed. In Kenya we were met immediately, and always had a gentleman at our disposal as needed. A driver took us to several safari camps, and then to the airplane to go to the Maasai Mara for the camp located inside the Mara. They worked around our meeting family friends in Nairobi. Another driver met us in Mombasa and took care of us there as desired. They made the journey safe, fun and hassle free for two women who knew nothing about Kenya! I highly recommend Kikwetu Cultural Adventures if you want to plan your own vacation / tour with local support.

Kenya southern game parks tour
I recently returned from an 8 day tour of Kenya's southern game parks with my family. The tour exceeded my expectations. We had an excellent driver/tour guide who was always on time, friendly and knowledgeable about the parks and the animals in it. He worked hard to get us to see as many different animals as possible. We chose 3 star accommodations and each one we stayed at was excellent. The rooms were clean and modern, the service was outstanding and the food was good too.
I would recommend Kikwetu Cultural Adventures to anyone who is interested in doing a similar tour

Great staff. Well organized
Our driver, Livingston, did a great job over the 8 days of our safari getting us where we needed to be without rushing us and put in a lot of effort to make sure we got the best animal sightings possible. I would go with Kikwetu again.

Kenya Safari
Our experience on 8 day Kenya safari far exceeded our expectations. Our guide was experienced, friendly, professional, and very helpful. He worked VERY hard to take us to areas in the parks where we were able to get close to game, he located a leopard one morning - sleeping in a tree. He was never in a hurry and allowed us time to appreciate the experience. Everything was smooth and well organized, all of the hotels were very nice with friendly staff. I highly recommend this company and would book with them again.

Amazing adventure that fulfilled all expectations and more with incredible guide and cook.
Communications were excellent. Kikwetu provide all the information we needed. Service was above expectations. Nothing left to chance. Our safari guide, Peter, was so knowledgeable about the wildlife and you could not ask for a more cautious and courteous driver. He actually helped, on 2 occasions, to assist other drivers who had gotten stuck in mud. Jacob, our cook, provided excellent meals for us. Simply but tasty. This Masai Mara tour was a dream come true thanks to the caring staff of Kikwetu whom I will definitely be referring my friends and inquirers.
