Outstanding service, incredible wildlife and unforgettable memories
We recently completed the 5-day safari with Edwin Safari, visiting Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha and the Masai Mara, and it exceeded every expectation we had.
From the very beginning, Peter made the planning process effortless. He created an itinerary that was perfectly tailored to what we wanted, offered plenty of options, and was always incredibly quick to respond to any questions we had. Everything was organised seamlessly, allowing us to simply enjoy the experience.
The Sopa Lodges completely blew us away. They were stunning, with breathtaking views, fantastic facilities and consistently delicious food, including plenty of great vegetarian options. Every member of staff we met was genuinely warm, welcoming and went out of their way to make us feel at home.
The highlight of our trip, however, was our guide and driver, Amos. His knowledge of the wildlife was exceptional. Whether it was the largest predators or the smallest birds and insects, he could explain their behaviours, habitats and fascinating facts in incredible detail. His experience was obvious from the moment we entered the parks. He could spot animals from remarkable distances that we would never have noticed ourselves, and his ability to anticipate where wildlife would be made every game drive exciting.
Thanks to Amos, we were fortunate enough to see the Big Five, but what really stood out was how much effort he put into giving us the very best viewing opportunities. He always positioned the vehicle perfectly and even considered the angle of the sun and lighting to help us get the best possible photographs. It was those little details that turned an amazing safari into an unforgettable one.
This was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and much of that is down to the professionalism and passion of the entire Edwin Safari team. We couldn’t recommend them more highly and will absolutely be booking with them again on our next visit to Kenya.

Serious, reliable, competent, professional, trustworthy.
I had an excellent experience with this tour operator. Peter proved to be serious, reliable, and highly competent throughout the entire process which has entirely organized by e-mail. Thus it has been a pleasure to meet him in person and to discover that it ha been the right choice. Everything was well organised, communication was clear, and we always felt we were in good hands.
Peter with Fred and Thymo (both professional driver and guide) pay attention to detail, and their knowledge on safari made the experience smooth and enjoyable. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and well-prepared tour operator.

Excellent customer service with amazing driver willing to deliver unforgettable experience
Edwin safaris was our first choice and it was absolutely amazing. There are not enough words to describe how amazing they are. From the very beginning, the communication was excellent and Peter answer every question of ours. Everything was perfectly organized and we felt completely safe and ready for our adventure thanks to him.
The biggest thank is going to our driver/guide Lonic. He was the most amazing person in this world. He was always taking care of us and making sure that we felt comfortable for the whole journey including the long drive between each parks but he was also constantly cheerful and positive. He had and incredible knowledge about wildlife, nature, local culture and always delivered to us interesting things to better understand not only the wildlife but also the culture of this beautiful country. It really felt like traveling with a friend who loves his country and what he does. Thanks to him, we saw so many animals and have so many experiences.
The whole safari had a wonderful atmosphere and Lonic become a part of our small group. Every day brought new experiences and memories that we will cherish for the rest of our life.
Kenya, its nature, people, culture was for us a new experience that we never had before and that we never forget how amazing this country is.

Excellent choice for private Kenya Safari
Selected itinerary based on getting a taste of the best national safari parks in 6 day trip from and back to Nairobi. Planning communications were via email and WhatsApp, including discussoon of several needed adjustments.
We were not expecting the stressful road conditions but our Driver/Guide, and the safari style Land Cruiser, took it all in stride and provided max. possible comfort!
Accommodations were comfortable with great food choices and in very good locations (Kibo in Amboseli, Sopa in both Lake Nakuru and Maasai Mara). Kibo was the standout, which was reflected in an increase in the final cost.
Our knowledgeable Driver/Guide was brilliant at spotting wildlife well before either of us and quick to stop where we had the best views for pictures. Also flexible to accommodate looking for flamingos on a lake near Nakuru, when no chance of seeing them on lake Nakuru due to the very high water level.

Just amazing
I went to Kenya with my son as a present for his graduation. After a thorough search Edwin safaris stood out by the professional itinerary, fast and flexible communication and in the end value for money (at least on paper). With lots of excitement and anxiety about our trip we met Peter and our guide Timothy. From the first moment we felt comfortable that we made the right choice. We booked an eight day tailored tour in Sopa lodges in Amboseli, Naivasha, Nakuru and Masai Mara. It was beyond expectations. Of course because of the beautiful country and the stunning nature in the parks, but just as much because of Timothy. Everything was well organised and facilitated. From a clean Landcruiser every morning until excellent driving skills. But outmost for his extensive knowledge and skills when it comes to animal spotting. With a lot of passion and endless patience regarding our questions Timothy proved to be an excellent guide and teacher in one. We have learned of lot about the animals, flora and fauna, circle of live and geographic and demographic topics. I can really recommend Edwin Safaris without any hesitation!

Best trip ever! Warm hospitality, amazing hotels, and unforgettable safaris with Jeff
This has been our best trip ever so far. We received such a warm welcome from Peter, and our journey through Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Amboseli was absolutely incredible with Jeff as our guide.
Jeff is extremely knowledgeable about Kenya’s wildlife and truly goes above and beyond to make every game drive an unforgettable experience. He always made sure we spotted the highlight animals in each park and brought us to the best photo spots. On top of that, his driving was always safe and comfortable throughout the trip.
I would highly recommend booking with Edwin Safari and asking for Jeff if you’re planning to visit Kenya — you’ll be in great hands.
Also, every hotel selection was excellent and made the whole experience even more memorable.

Amazing guide and so many animal sightings!
Edwin Safaris helped my friend and I tailor our itinerary exactly as we wanted. We were able to select which parks and lodges we wanted to visit and Peter gave us a great rate compared to other safari companies. Our guide Geoffrey was the best, we had tons of great animal sightings on our full day in Maasai Mara including 2 cheetahs, a leopard hunting, lions eating a kill, and more. He is a great guy and very experienced, we highly recommend him for a great safari experience!
A wonderful safari experience from beginning booking to the whole trip
I have to say it’s a trip that i have been planed for years and Edwin Safaris make it happen! Before the booking, I have checked with other companies. Mr. Peter is always the fast to response to my msg and it makes me feel comfortable and safe when traveling to a country that i have never been to. Also, the price, checking with other companies, they provided a reasonable price, which is definitely worth it! During the tour, Mr Jeffery showed us a great passion in finding the animals and explaining them! Not only a tour guide, but also a reliable driver!
Even though the company is quit young(~3 years with limited comments), i really recommend them for the rest of the group to be considered. Very professional, friendly and respectful

Just fabulous. Highly recommend!
We recently completed a 7-day safari with Edwin Safaris, and it was an absolutely incredible experience from start to finish. It was worth every single penny, and we would do it again!
First of all, a huge thank you to Peter, our contact person at Edwin Safaris. He is incredibly reliable and organized everything flawlessly. Right from the beginning, he answered all our messages super fast, leaving absolutely no questions unanswered. His professionalism gave us peace of mind before the trip even started.
Our guide, Amos, was simply perfect. He has an immense amount of knowledge about the wildlife and took the time to explain everything to us in great detail. Amos went above and beyond, taking us on long, fantastic game drives to ensure we got the absolute best experience possible. His passion and expertise made this trip truly special.
All in all, we highly recommend booking with Edwin Safaris if you want a seamless, unforgettable, and deeply enriching safari experience.
Thank you, Peter and Amos, for the trip of a lifetime!

Superb safari, friendly and knowledgeable guide and so close to nature
We have had the most amazing safari experience with Edwin Safaris. We saw so many animals as well as seeing fantastic landscapes in the national parks, seeing Kenya and learning all about the animals and country.
For context we did 6 day Sopa Tour, and we are a couple in our 30s from the UK.
Our driver James was super experienced, and helped us see all of the animals we wanted to see. He told us all about the animals, and answered all of our questions about the national parks and life in Kenya, and made us feel really at home. He was also really respectful of the animals and natural landscape and was clearly passionate about this, as well as being an amazing driver in some challenging muddy conditions.
Doing the Sopa tour was great as we could see the different landscapes and animals that reside in each national park, and although there was quite a lot of driving between the parks, this meant we saw a lot of Kenya that we otherwise wouldn’t see.
The Sopa lodges themselves felt luxurious and there was a good variety of delicious foods and the staff were very welcoming.
Edwin Safaris were super helpful leading up to our safari and very responsive to messages, and also checked in with us during which was great.
Overall we have loved our Kenyan safari - this is an experience not to be missed, and 100% worth booking direct through Edwin Safaris.
