An Amazing Experience
4/5

Overall, our experience with baby bird tours was great. Our driver and guide for the day, Festus, arrived on time and was a fantastic driver. We felt safe the whole time despite some pretty intense traffic and roads 😄.

Throughout the drive to the park and within the park, he offered great information and answered all our questions.

The park itself is an absolute must visit, truly magnificent

The only negative feedback I have is the game drive time ends up being less than advertised, after lunch, we pretty much took a direct route out of the park and it didn't seem there was any intention to really look for animals.

But we arrived back in time and overall had a fantastic day, thank you!

Amazing safari experience with really a terrible airport transfer.
4/5

The Tsavo East Safari experience was amazing. Honestly one of the best experiences in our lifes. The freelance safari driver was really good and profesional.
The Safari 10/10
Voi Wildlife Lodge hotel at the safari was good as well. Unfortunately no A/C in the room and it was really hot. The food was nice. The best part of this Lodge was the view - we could see many wild animals, including hippos!

The worst part of our trip was the transfer from the airport to Safari and then from safari to Diani.
The car we got picked up by, was very old and could barely reach the speed of 70km/h. We were overtaken by trucks… The journey that was supposed to take 3h according to google maps, took us 4h.
On the was from Safari to Diani, the car broke down… which wasnt surprising at all. We waited 1h for some other guys to try and fix it, but without success. Our guide eventually paid the guys to take us to Diani with their car, which was significantly better.
But unfortunately, the second car broke down as well! This time we managed to get to some mechanic and it was done after around 15 minutes.
Very exhausting and unpleasant journey. This time instead od 3h 30’ - it took us 5h.

Better ask about the car, before booking!

Chris was good and friendly
4/5

The safari was perfect, and the guide and Chris also !
But the lodge was below what we were expecting!

Two days private safari, worth to recommend
4/5

First of all I must say that safari in Tsavo East is unforgettable experience. The views and presence of wild animals was a very special moment in our lives, and we're simply out of words to describe how incredible feeling it was. Karanja and Chris were very nice and they showed us lot of interesting places and animals. We felt secure and well cared for whole trip. We didn't have a luck to see male lion, leopard and rhino (for the last ones Tsavo West is probably better), but that's undersandable risk with wild animals.
We agreed with Chris to change a bit second day of the trip, to have a tour through Mombasa (Tusks, Fort Jesus and Spiece Market).

Reason for 4/5 stars is unexpected change in location of our accomodation as we chose Voi Safari Lodge, but due to overbooking we stayed in Voi Wildlife, and we'd been informed of this fact in front of the second lodge and not earlier. I know, that it's due to lodges management, but comunication could be better. Voi Wildlife wasn't bad, but it was cheaper option in other options so that's why I've been a little disappointed. Tsavo East helped me to get rid of bad feelings though :)
Tips for others: 1) Jeeps seems like a better option not only due to their appearance, but also they allow the guide to join looking out for the animals. 2) Mombasa tour wasn't that special as safari so it's better to use two game drives at second day.

Generally I'd recommend this trip, with minor remark to Chris.
