Edwin Safaris

The Most Personal and Memorable Safari Experience We Could Imagine

Our safari with Edwin Safaris was nothing short of extraordinary, not just because of the stunning wildlife and landscapes of Kenya, but because of the way Peter and his team treated us like family from start to finish.

We reached out only two nights before departure, and Peter literally stayed up all night planning and tailoring the itinerary with us. I am by nature very cautious and was hesitant to book and make the advance payment, but Peter’s patience, transparency, and the documents he provided helped me trust him, which turned out to be the best decision I made.

Our 7-day journey took us from Masai Mara (3 nights at Endeem Mara Resort) to Lake Nakuru (Buraha Zenoni Hotel) and then on to Amboseli (Penety Resort). Every location was perfectly chosen, balancing comfort and authenticity. The game drives were unforgettable! We saw the Big Five, flamingos on Lake Nakuru, countless giraffes and zebras, and even had the once-in-a-lifetime experience of seeing Craig, the legendary super tusker in Amboseli.

When our luggage was delayed, Peter and Jack personally managed all communication with the airline, arranged the delivery to us while on safari, and even accompanied us to buy essentials on the very first day. What could have ruined our start instead turned into just another part of the adventure. They also organized a beautiful birthday celebration for my husband at the lodge, complete with music, dancing, and speeches, something we will never forget.

Even when I made mistakes with the payment details, and funds didn’t go through immediately while we were already receiving the service, Peter and his team remained trusting, patient, and understanding and went through extra effort to resolve the issue directly with their bank and tried to keep our vacation experience positive despite this issue too. That kind of professionalism and kindness is rare.

And then there was Jack, our guide. Knowledgeable, entertaining, and an incredible storyteller! He turned long drives into fascinating conversations that made time fly. By the end, it didn’t feel like we had hired a safari guide and organizer. It felt like we had made two new friends in Kenya.

Edwin Safaris didn’t just organize a trip. They gave us memories, trust, and friendships that we will cherish for a lifetime. If you are even slightly hesitant like I was, know that you are in the very best hands.

A huge thank you to Peter, Jack, and the whole Edwin Safaris team. We will cherish this experience forever and we hope to see you again sometime in the future!
