Simply wonderful experience from start to finish, we are grateful for Patricia and Peter
Communication was superb throughout. Very clear planning and itinerary and able to answer any questions promptly. The itinerary was crafted to suit our requests. Patricia was pivotal in the planning of our trip and Peter was our wonderful guide and driver. The trip was incredibly special and we can't wait to visit Kenya again.

Luxury experience did not disappoint as our guide and professional staff made for a perfect trip!
Family of 4 with twin 11 year olds. After looking at tour options, I created my own itinerary and We Tour quickly got back to me with prices and dates in a very attractive custom made brochure. Communication was very quick and polite. I was concerned about wiring money to a company I didn't know well, but it was absolutely fine. All of my questions were answered promptly through the process. I was greeted on arrival at the airport (with welcome gifts!) and met our guide, Hassan. He was very knowledgeable and was easy to talk to. Thanks to his timing and understanding of animal behaviors, we were treated to unforgettable one on one cheetah and lion experiences, as well as peaceful moments with many other animals. I was keen to photograph, and Hassan was good at knowing when to stop and knowing when to move along. He was quick to oblige my frequent calls to stop to take pictures of birds and whatnot, and I never felt rushed. We had about 4 full days of experiences, and had it not been for a short holiday, I would have loved to stay more days. The accommodations chosen by We Tour were terrific. I thought we would not have time for the pool and relaxing with our short schedule, but we found a way to swim every day. They kids enjoyed surfing the bumpy roads while looking out the pop-up roof. It was magical from start to finish. Highly recommended.

Above and beyond!
This tour was wonderful! The guide was at our hotel to pick us up half an hour early. We received a bracelet and safari hat! And from that moment on, everything was as promised in the quote and more! George was a calm, communicative driver and guide. He explained each piece of the journey to Amboseli Park. But what really set him apart was his desire that we would see every possible animal and get good photos. And we did! In fact the first evening, we saw every animal we wanted to see so that the morning drive was extra bonus! AND he took photos and videos and sent them to us in case we didn’t get good ones. He even took us to a farther out spot in the morning to see hippos who were playing in the water. We saw cheetahs and lions on both days—both more rare to see even once. The Land Cruiser was completely clean and worked so well over all the ups and downs of the roads. I would 100% use We Tour Safaris again if we ever have the privilege to return to Kenya. And I would recommend them to everyone. Thank you Patricia and George!
Side note: We stayed at Sarena Lodge in Amboseli and it was top notch as well!

Amazing service and such kind people
Patricia the organizer was an absolute Jem! She went above and beyond to make sure all our needs were met and even when we forgot our yellow fever cards and had to get the mailed to Kenya she went above and beyond to go to dhl and pick it up personally! Her recommendations and choices of our tour and hotels were great. Nick was a great driver in Nairobi who picked us up a t the airport and took us to the argyle hotel the first night which was an amazing hotel.
We started with two days in Masai Mara where we were picked up by our driver Peter! He was amazing and the best driver we had super knowledgeable and took us to all the right places in the Mara to see the animals and even tracked down a leopard one of the rarest animals you can see in Mara! Can’t say enough good things about Peter. Our stay in the Mara was at the Ashnil Mara camp which was all inclusive and the tented luxury facilities were impeccable this was our favorite place to stay the food was great and all the people working there were so friendly and hospitable.
Our next stop was amboseli national park where we were greeted by Hassan as our driver who was also very knowledgeable and the amboseli Serena lodge was also great.
I can’t say enough about we tours everyone from the driver nick at Nairobi to the drivers in the camp Peter and Hassan and Patricia our organizer were just phenomenal. This was our first and most memorable safari experience and we will definitely recommend this team for our friends and family and will definatley be doing another safari with this group again! Thank you all!

Caring, impressive and professional
It was a truly amazing experience of doing the safari tour with We Tour Safari and everything was over my expectation! I was especially impressed by the professionalism and hard work of Duncan, my tour guide. It was a great time to be with him for the entire safari trip.
The most unforgettable moment of this trip was the second day, when we spotted a lion in Amboseli national park, and that was out of my expectation as I do not expect to see lions that are so close to us in that park, and that brings me a great surprise!
I am sure I will be visiting Kenya again with my family and friends and it would be my pleasure to join this lovely and heart-warming team again!

The safari with WeTour was a wonderful experience
We had a wonderful five-day safari in Tsavo East/West and Amboseli. From the initial quote to the end of our safari at the hotel in nairobi. The service was exactly what makes for a great experience: warm, professional, and reliable. Many thanks to Patricia and our tour guide Hassan.
From planning to last day of the Safari very well organised.
WeTour Safari was all the time great in communication, replies were always very fast.
Adapting parts of the tour worked out very well and the suggestions of accommodation fitted what we were looking for.
Our guide Peter was very experienced not only to find the animals but also to find the right spot for a good view and for taking photos. That he is a very good driver in general helps a lot.
Overall I can highly recommend WeTour Safari. Ask for Peter if you are looking for a good and save driver with a very good eye and understanding how to get the best view of all the animals.
From planning to delivery - everything was 1st class service!
We went on a one week tour with Peter and had an amazing time!
He always made sure that we had the best spots to see all animals and get great pictures - he went above and beyond to not only show us the big Five, but also a lot of other animals.
He was never short on facts about the country, the animals or the national parks we visited and adapted to our wishes. Even during our last day he made sure that everything was perfect when we visited the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust and the Giraffe Center.
During the planning phase the "back of house" team was a great support, replied swiftly, adjusted the tour to our ideas, but also gave valuable insights and feedback as to what makes sense when doing a week-round-trip.
Thank you to the entire team and a special thank you again to Peter - he did a fantastic job!

Facilitated the Trip of a Lifetime
As an African Safari was a bucket-list item for my dad, my family of 4 (including two kids aged 6 & 9) decided to join him on this amazing adventure. Travelling safety with the children was our number one concern and we contacted multiple tour companies in the initial planning stages but WeTour Safaris won our business by their immediate communication, fair pricing and flexibility with family accommodations that gave us all space. We looked forward to our trip for 6 months after booking and stayed in contact with Patricia during that time, where she was always responding to our inquiries, helping with providing us information about the tourist visa we required and the hotel and travel vouchers we needed. We were very impressed!
After travelling for 26 hours, we arrived in Nairobi, had a quick night stay and then off to Maasai Mara early the next morning. Patricia came to meet us at the Nairobi hotel and gifted us a Kenyan beaded bracelet, safari hats and blankets. They were gorgeous and will be keepsakes we will treasure. I am especially grateful to Patricia for replacing one blanket on the last day we were there, as the kids had left one in a hotel on our journey.
Hassan was our driver and he was EXCEPTIONAL. My 6 year old had to stop for bathroom breaks more frequently, and he was always understanding and able to find her a safe place to stop. His driving and knowledge of the local animals and culture was unbelievable and we had a million questions to ask. The large vehicle that sat 6 in the back was wonderful and gave us lots of space to stretch out on our long drives. I loved how the top lifted up and we were able to stand up and get great photographs of the animals from that vantage. Hassan obviously had strong connections with the other guides and was able to provide us with opportunity to see all the animals!! Cheetahs, leopards, lions, elephants, hyenas, rhinos - we saw them all and came home with the most amazing pictures and experiences. It was truly life-changing to see these amazing and majestic animals in their home habitats.
The accommodations were perfect. Patricia made sure to book us in a family room for each of the hotels so the kids had a space of their own to sleep and gave us great nights sleep. There was one issue with the Lake Navaisha resort, but was remedied quickly. The boat and walking island tour there was a MUST SEE though, so we were ok sleeping in a smaller room that night.
After seeing Amboseli and the elephants, Hassan assisted us with getting to the train station and we travelled to Diani Beach on the coast. If you have time to go to the Diani Beach Resort all inclusive, please make this part of your journey! The facilities were excellent, the food was great and there was local entertainment every night. The beach was one of the most beautiful I have ever seen in the world!
We had a long journey home afterwards and realized we had a 9 hour layover in Nairobi from when our short domestic flight from Diani Beach landed to when we flew out on our international flight. Patricia worked very hard to find us a cheap, but safe and clean hotel with a pool for the kids and us to relax on the layover before our travel home. She even met us at the airport and provided us with transportation to and from Hotel 67 for a few hours for us to rest.
Overall, our experience with this tour company was amazing. We noticed they didn't have as many reviews as some of the other companies and this made us a little nervous at the beginning, but Patricia and Hassan worked HARD to earn our trust, and gave us an unforgettable trip for our family. We would love to host them if they ever came to the rocky mountains in Canada so we could show them the same hospitality, care and attention they showed us. This was essential to our experience - especially travelling with little kids! Their attention to detail and investment in tailoring our adventure to have a wonderful time allowed us to relax and just enjoy the experience, atmosphere and energy of Kenya.
