" A Memorable Vacation!"
5/5

We started by sending inquiry emails to 4 travel companies. In less than half an hour we received an immediate and comprehensive response from Kenneth.....this is how we chose Kikwetu Cultural Adventures. Their reliability and approach ability just warmed our hearts. When we contacted Kenneth we had a timeline,on a budget and a general idea of where we wanted to go but no specifics. He did an outstanding,superb,wonderful job to say the least and with the short notice, he provided us with a lovely coastal package, to cut a long story short, we had an amazing holiday in Malindi.
I highly recommend Kikwetu Cultural Adventures! It is a first rate, extremely knowledgeable and customer service oriented travel company!

A memorable, budget/mid price private safari organised by Kikwetu with great attention to detail
5/5

I used Kenneth at Kikwetu to organise a 10 day safari in Kenya an Tanzania in August this year for my husband myself with daughter and partner. Four of us travelled together and chose our own route and itinerary with Kenneth's help. I was apprehensive about trusting arrangements to someone who did not have a representative in uk - and more so when it came to transferring 50% of cost before accommodation etc could be confirmed. The reason I chose to use Kikwetu was that Kenneth always responded quickly to emails and costs seemed reasonable.

Once we arrived in Niarobi any anxieties disappeared. Kenneth arranged transport from the airport to our pre-safari accommodation and came to meet us the following day at our convenience. All arrangements were in place with accommodation booked - some was basic, some outstanding. Kenneth provided a private cook at no additional charge when he was unsure of the quality of catering at one of the tented camps. Ask for a stay within the Serengeti park. It is well worth the small additional cost. Transport was in a good quality of vehicle - but dont be afraid to tell the drivers to slow down! Long days on unmade roads can be very uncomfortable and tiring so be advised by Kenneth on the best route.

We got the holiday that we had planned and Kenneth's suggestions were helpful, and often much better than we could have sourced ourselves. The key to the success of the holiday was the personal service provided by Kenneth and attention to detail. I would recommend this company for a reliable journey.

Tailored Kenya & Tanzania safari on a budget
5/5

We had a great 10 day private safari in Kenya and Tanzania with Kikwetu - Kenneth designed a trip that met our requirements, and we had lots of personal interaction when we set off and quick communication throughout the trip when we needed anything resolving. Recommend for great service on a budget.

We had a superb safari, well organised and with an excellent guide and driver.
5/5

The whole trip went well, from the earliest contact with Kikwetu. We couldn't have had a better guide than Isaac Oumar, who is an expert on the habits of the wildlife and culture of the area. Together with our very competent driver Robert, they were able to predict the best places to view even elusive animals like leopards, lion prides, and a broad range of animals by predicting their hideouts and behaviour. We thoroughly enjoyed their company and learnt much about the region. I would now like to do other tours led by Isaac who is an expert on the whole east coast even beyond Kenya I believe.

Excellent Safari Package
5/5


Excellent Safari Package

Thanks to Kikwetu Cultural Adventures for a safari well executed. My husband and I together with our two children had a 7 days trip to Kenya in the month of April. This was our first time in Africa. At first we never knew how to go about the safari planning until we came across Kikwetu. Kenneth was quick in replying to our mails and within a short duration he gave us a perfect itinerary at an affordable cost.
The safari was well organized and the driver/guide was charming and professional. We enjoyed our safari very much and the seven days seemed very short. We will use this company for our future tours in Kenya. We recommend Kikwetu to you and be rest assured that you will get the value for your money.

Another lovely experience in Kenya
5/5





We had an eight days safari in February with Kikwetu Cultural Adventures visiting Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, Masai Mara and the Kenyan Coast (Mombasa). This was my second time using the services of this company and as to my expectation the planning, execution and delivery was well above board. Although this time we had somewhat a tight budget they were still able to customize a wonderful and memorable safari for us. The accommodation and food was of high quality. Kenneth, was very helpful in planning the safari and was very quick in answering our emails. Isaac, our guide, was very knowledgeable, passionate and so resourceful, we had easy time in spotting animals. Mombasa was a paradise! I have been in many coastal towns but there was something so unique with the Kenyan beach. The tropical weather here was so welcoming. We had time to visit several place including the famous Fort Jesus. All in all we enjoyed our stay in Kenya and the excellent services offered by Kikwetu. I can now confidently recommend this company to anyone who wants to enjoy the Kenyan safari even with a tight budget. Thank you guys.

An amazing experience
5/5

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.

Well Organized Safari- Amazing!!!!!
5/5

In April 2014 we went on a safari with Kikwetu Cultural Adventures and it was absolutely amazing. From the pick up in Nairobi to being dropped off at the airport everything was so well planned and executed. We were so blown away by the beauty of Kenya's national parks and its animals. Our guide Kenneth and the team made the whole experience even better. Was so knowledgeable and enthusiast about everything and so easy going dealing with overly excited people. I would Strongly recommend this company to anyone who is looking into a Kenyan Safari. I plan on returning to Kenya for another safari with Kenneth as my guide again. Thanks very much Kikwetu!!!!
