Amazing Maasai Mara Camp Safari!!!
Nelson, Debbie and Celeste were wonderful. Customer service is a big part o f my industry and it was very clear that it was paramount to them as well. I opted for a 3 day Maasai Mara camp safari and couldn't have been more pleased. The accommodations and food was great. Our tour guide Evans and my fellow travelers were wonderful. A trip of a lifetime. Thanks for making my dream a spectacular reality!!

Amazing Tour Company for a great safari!
From the first email until my arrival I felt comfortable with Terminal Tours. They answered every question I had and came across as very trustable. I went on the Maasai Mara and Lake Nakuru 4day/ 3 night safari and thoroughly enjoyed it. You do have to transfer a deposit beforehand but that's nothing to worry about. I was met at the airport by Debbie and Nelson and then taken to the minibus where it picked up lots of other tourists too. The driver/guide was very helpful and knowledgeable and I would definitely recommend booking a safari with them. He was able to tell us all about the animals and spot lots too. We saw all of the Big 5 and it was so surreal. I had a great time staying with the Maasai Tribe too who were very welcoming! Thank you Terminal Tours :)

Excellent in (almost) every way
We booked an 11 day safari with Terminal Tours, including Maasai Mara, Nakuru, Amboseli and Tsavo East and West.
Overall the experience was fabulous - very well organised, excellent drivers who were knowledgeable about the wildlife we were seeing.
The accommodation ranged from amazing (in Tsavo West we stayed at Rhino Valley Lodge, an amazing location, and Tsavo East likewise the lodge had a great position on a hill overlooking the reserve) to average (in Amboseli the tented camp is quite basic), but given this was a budget safari, we really could have no complaints.
The food was good all the way through, things like beef stew and poatoes, chapatis, vegetable stews, bolognese, all filling stuff that you're going to want after a long day out.
Nelson and his sister Debby were very helpful in advising us on the itinery both before we came to Kenya and were flexible with managing some changes we made after we arrived. We also stayed a couple of nights at their place on the edge of Nairobi, where they cooked us some traditional Kenyan dishes. They are genuinely lovely people and we wish them all the best with their business.
Don't hesitate to book with Terminal Tours.

Highly recommended local tour operator
This summer we traveled through Kenya, and a few weeks before we arrived there we tried to find a company to do our safari-trip with. We wanted to visit Samburu as well as Masaai Mara, ideally in a 6 or 7 day trip. Not a lot of companies were offering that as a group tour. Because of that, and because of the good reviews, we contacted Terminal Tours. Even though it was quite short term, we mananged to plan everything such that it exactly fitted our schedule, and Terminal Tours went the extra mile to help us achieve that. Communication was fast and adequate.
The trip itself was an amazing experience. Basically we proposed ourselves to join two different groups and change halfway during our trip, because this would give us an extra day. Because of this we have met several drivers and cooks from Terminal Tours, and they are all very professional, nice guys, and fun to travel with. Because of some unexpected circumstances Terminal Tours had to send another driver for one part of the trip. In order to not let us be affected by this, this driver left Nairobi at 3AM, and in fact on that day we had a private Safari, even though we booked a group tour. This is just an example to show how important service is for Terminal Tours, and they go to great lengths to really give you the experience you pay for, and nothing less.
Already the second day we had seen the complete big five and the great migration as well. We have seen animals hunting, eating prey, and on another day we actually saw the whole process of the migration starting to happen in a spot where we were the only car. This was completely due to the skill and insight of the driver. The cooks were amazing, and the food was of high quality. In the second part of our trip to Kenya we went to the coast for some more fancy resorts, but if I had to choose between the food there, and the food during the safari trip, I would choose the latter anytime. The accomodation is of good quality as well, since we booked a budget safari we expected more of a backpacking setting, however everywhere we had good beds with mosquito nets, hot showers, etc.
Next to the safari trip itself we received great help from Terminal Tours as well, for accomodation on the night we arrived, for helping us book other activities/transport on our travel and by showing us some nice places in Kenya. So, take my word for it, Terminal Tours is highly recommended.

Great 4 days Masai Mara + Nakuru Safari
My wife and I have recently participated to the 4 days Masai Mara + Nakuru safari. It was an amazing experience and we got to see and experience lots. I highly recommend Terminal Tours who have been welcoming and very helpful throughout our stay. Nelson and Tatania took care of us from A to Z arranging airport pickup, stays and hotels etc. The safari drivers we got to travel with were top notch too. James and Martin shared with us their knowledge of Kenya and its wildlife and made sure we see and experience as much as possible. Thanks to them, we noticed a wilder beat crossing and once in a lifetime experience when a crocodile caught a wilder beast live... Amazing! I also recommend the visit to the Masai Village, really worth it and must do! Lodging at Rhinos camping site was great/clean/fun/exotic. Mind that the food was very average but hey that is to be expected when going for a budget accommodation. On our way to Nakuru, we spent an afternoon in Nivasha, a beautiful lac/wildlife and went on a boat ride, worth taking. The hotel at Nakuru is descent with wifi access, much needed after a couple of days in the wild. All in all, great experience with very professional and welcoming team. Thank you Nelson, Tatiana, James and Martin for great memories and looking forward to our next visit :-)

An excellent safari experience!!
This August (2015) i travelled with my 3 friends to Africa - Kenya. We did a lot of things and we couldn't miss to do a game ride (safari) with professionals at Masai Mara. Thefore we book it with Terminal Tours Kenya. We had an excellent experience, with safety and according to what we were promised. They were perfect in keeping time and we felt like kings & queens, with our private cook & driver.
So i recomend to all travellers that want to do a great gameride to choose Teminal Tours Kenya!!

Outstanding 3 days Masai Mara safari with Terminal Tours and their driver Cyrus
We had an amazing Masai Mara Safari with Terminal Tours. Before we decided for a tour organiser we got in touch with twenty-five different operators. At the early beginning Terminal Tours turned out to be very fast with their replies and Nelson, we dealt with, seemed to be experienced and flexible, sine we booked our lodge separately. At the end their offer was competitive as well. Finally we decided to do the tour with them and agreed on the program. Since there were only a few days left before we wanted to start, we did not even need to pay anything in advance which gave us even more the feeling that Terminal Tours is a reliable organiser. Just for your information. Most of the tour organiser insist on a advance payment, which is even the entire amount in some cases. So, Terminal Tours picked us up and started our Masai Mara Safari in time as agreed. Our driver Cyrus was very flexible, skipped lunch stop on the way we we had wished for, in order to arrive faster and had more time in the national park. Cyrus is and extremely confident, good yet safe driver. He was also very knowledgeable about the animals and was able to spot them at great distances due to his work experience as a safari guide of over ten years. He seems to be knowing every angle of the park and seemed to be very motivated to show us the best areas to see the different animals. So everything worked very well and we spent a great vacation.
