Highly Recommended and Well Organized
5/5

We had a great 3 day trip with Marula Horizon Safaris. The schedule was handled perfectly and everything was done on time. James was a terrific driver and guide who kept us on track and made sure we saw a wide variety of animals like lions, cheetah, and buffalo.

The 20 minute walking tour with an armed guard was a unique touch that we really enjoyed. We stayed at Rhino Tourist Camp and the accommodations were exactly what we needed. The food was good and the service was reliable throughout the stay. It was a solid experience from start to finish and I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a well run safari.

Professional, Timely, and Incredible Wildlife Sightings
5/5

I just finished an amazing 3 day safari with Marula Horizon Safaris. Everything was done exactly on time and the entire trip was very well organized. Our driver James was terrific and really went out of his way to make sure we saw everything.

We saw an incredible amount of wildlife, including cheetah, lions, giraffes, buffalo, jackals, wildebeest, gazelles, hyena, and topis. We even saw a Nile crocodile. A highlight was seeing the spots where the animals cross the river. Even though it was not in season, it was still great to see the scale of it. During the full day safari, we also had a 20 minute walking tour with an armed guard which was a very cool experience. We stayed at Rhino Tourist Camp and the accommodations did the job perfectly. The food at the camp was also good. I highly recommend this team!

Good, but time arrangement is not proper enough.
4/5

It’s a great tour, I see Kilimanjaro and galaxy, also many animals. However, on our way back, we are almost late for flight. Only 50 minutes left for me before my flight take off.

Thank you for your feedback and for choosing to travel with us.

We’re glad you enjoyed the views of Mount Kilimanjaro, the night sky, and the wildlife.

Kindly note that you requested a 3-day Amboseli and Masai Mara safari with a drop-off in Nairobi by 2:00 PM. This was not the itinerary we originally recommended, as it involves long distances and a very tight schedule, but we adjusted it to fit your request.

We sincerely apologize for the stress caused by the short time before your flight. Your feedback is appreciated, and we are working to improve our planning.

Thank you again, and we hope to host you on a smoother safari in the future.

Disappointed by organization
2/5

I booked in November a safari with Marula. The communication was very fluid and everything was ok with Brian.
But 15 days before arriving in Kenya, Brian told me that the guide preferred to change itinerary and that we will begin by Tsavo to finish by Amboseli.
I told him that it was not really logical but I accepted the change.
On first day of safari, we were very surprised to have a very long drive from Nairobi and the driver explained us that Brian changed itinerary because he forgot to book hotels!!!
I was very angry against him because he lied to me and didn't propose me to change hotels instead.
Kenya is a wonderful country so we fortunately spent a nice trip but we lost a lot of time on road.

Hello Carine,
Thank you for your honest feedback.

We sincerely apologize for the itinerary change and the confusion surrounding the reason given. We understand how frustrating this must have been, especially so close to your arrival. Clear communication and proper planning are very important to us, and we regret that we fell short in this case.

We’re grateful you still enjoyed Kenya and had a good safari experience overall. Your feedback has been taken seriously, and we are improving our internal processes to ensure this does not happen again.

Our Masai Mara tour operator was beyond perfect!
5/5

Masai Mara exceeded every dream—this trip was pure, unfiltered magic from start to finish!

Pre-trip, the team responded to every tiny question (even my 11 PM panic about safari gear) within minutes, sharing detailed tips that made packing and planning a breeze. Once there, the guide was a revelation: they read our vibe instantly, slowing down when we lingered to watch baby elephants play, and quietly tracking a cheetah family we’d mentioned hoping to see—no rush, just patience to let us soak in every moment. They didn’t just point out animals; they shared stories about the savanna’s rhythms, Masai traditions, even how to spot a lion’s paw print—turning game drives into lessons I’ll never forget.

The lodge was a cozy haven: open-air decks where we sipped morning tea as giraffes wandered by, warm staff who remembered our coffee orders, and meals that mixed local flavors (spiced lentils, fresh grilled nyama choma) with comfort food—every bite felt like a hug. Logistics were seamless: clean, spacious vehicles with great visibility, on-time pickups, zero hidden fees, and even a last-minute detour to catch a herd of wildebeest crossing the Mara River (they’d heard it was happening and adjusted the plan—total flexibility!).

Best of all, the cultural visit felt genuine: we sat with Masai elders, learned to bead, and listened to stories—not as tourists, but as guests. This wasn’t just a tour; it was a chance to connect with the land and people in a way that felt respectful and real. Every detail, big or small, was handled with care. If you’re choosing a Mara trip, look no further—this was the best adventure of my life, and I’m already counting down to go back!

Perfect 3 nights in Watamu
5/5

Our 3-night stay in Watamu was wonderful! Beautiful beaches, great seafood, and a peaceful atmosphere. We loved snorkeling at the Marine Park and exploring the Gede Ruins. Everything was perfectly arranged — a truly relaxing coastal escape!

Our 3-day safari to Samburu with Marula Horizon Safaris was amazing! Everything was well-planned, and our guide was friendly and knowledgeable. We saw lots of wildlife, including the Samburu Special Five. Highly recommend Marula Horizon Safaris for a truly memorable experience!
