Amazing Safari with Steve
From start to finish the experience was incredible thanks to our guide, Steve. His passion for wildlife was contagious and made every day on safari exciting and enjoyable. With his deep knowledge and excellent local contacts, he always seemed to know where and when to find specific animals, giving us unforgettable sightings. Steve also made us feel completely safe and comfortable, even in the middle of lion/leopard/rhino territory when a bush-toilet stop was needed.
What stood out most was how much Steve cared about making the trip feel special. He went out of his way to make our experience as premium as possible, even securing us an upgrade to a fancier lodge in the Maasai Mara. His thoughtful approach, storytelling, and genuine warmth made him feel less like a guide and more like an old friend we had known for years.
On top of that, we felt the safari offered excellent value for us — balancing quality accommodations, seamless logistics, and a truly personalized experience. For anyone seeking a safari that combines professionalism, passion, and great value, I cannot recommend Boots Safaris and Steve highly enough.

The best, most experienced and most friendly tour guide i’ve ever met
Steve was truly exceptional throughout our 4-day safari in Kenya, covering Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara, and Lake Naivasha. From the moment we landed, he ensured everything ran smoothly and made us feel completely at ease. His knowledge of wildlife is remarkable. He always knew where to go and what to look out for, and thanks to him, we saw the big 5 and best part was a leopard with it’s kill .
What stood out most was Steve’s genuine passion for his work. His excitement felt real every single day, and it was clear he takes pride in delivering unforgettable experiences. Beyond his professionalism, he’s incredibly kind, respectful, and always made sure we were comfortable and happy. He really knows everyone in Masai, and has good connections everywhere, which helped us a lot during our visit to Masai village. Was a great experience.
Steve is not just a guide, but someone who truly cares and that made all the difference. We left Kenya with amazing memories and a new friend

The perfect safari. Great value, excellent guide, and an unforgettable experience
Boost Safaris is amazing! We've done a few different safaris in Botswana, Zimbabwe, Kenya, and Tanzania, and Steve with Boost safaris really stands out. He organized the perfect trip that allowed us to see several of the parks in Kenya (Masai Mara, Amboselli, and Nakuru). He can build trips that fit your budget, as he has connections at all of the lodges across the parks. He can certainly arrange tented trips for more budget-friendly itineraries, as well as luxurious lodges for others.
When Steve first picked us up, it was clear it was going to be a great trip. He asked what we wanted to make it a great safari, and made it his goal to accomplish what we told him. Steve spoke excellent English (there was not a language barrier at all), and he mentioned he spoke 6 different languages. He was one of the best conversationalists I've ever been around. He asked questions out of a genuine desire to get to know us better and always had a perfect response or another question to keep the conversation engaging (which makes or breaks a safari when you're spending the entire day in the jeep). He knew a ton about every single animal, and he seemed to know several of the other guides very well, which helped in locating the action. During one of our days in Masai Mara, he took us directly to a cheetah which we got to see stalk prey for about an hour, then watch it hunt and kill a gazelle. It was truly one of the most incredible experiences I've had in my life! Since our trip, we still text Steve regularly--he's now a very close friend of ours, all because we trusted him to take us on safari. Do yourself a favor and book your Kenya safari with Boost.

The best choice
For our honeymoon, we decided to do a safari in Kenya, with Boost Safaris. We spent almost a week with Steve and his assistant George. Two wonderful people that we will never forget. We always felt safe with them. Steve knows very well his work and the different national parks of Kenya. Steve knows where to find the right spots to observe animals up close and he’s the best pilot ever seen! We were very satisfied with our choice and we can only highly recommend Boost Safaris. A very big thank you to them for making us live an exceptional moment in nature!

Steve was engaging,entertaining and well informed ,bringing every moment of the safari to life
We had an unforgettable experience visiting Shaba National Reserve with our amazing safari game driver Steve. Thanks to Steve, we were able to spot elephants, giraffes, Zebras and even a hard-to find lions family. He shared fascinating facts about each animals and made sure me and my fiancé felt safe and engaged.

Excellent value and quality tours with guides that will make you feel like family
From the moment we were picked up, we knew this safari would be a life changing trip. Our guide Steve immediately made it a priority to get to know us as people and we bonded instantly. Our flight was delayed by 24 hours and he worked diligently to rearrange our trip to be sure we didn’t miss any part of our itinerary. Steve knew our big goals of this trip were to see rhinos, to see a hunt, and see a leopard. He made all three of those goals happen!! It was very clear that he was just as excited as we were each time we met one of our goals. His knowledge of the wildlife is impressive. We were confident that we were with an expert. Steve knew photography was important to me so he sought out amazing photo opportunities for us too. We have recommended Boost Safaris to everyone in the US that we have sent to Kenya for vacation. I would trust them with my life! Book immediately- you will not regret it!
