This was by far the best safari tour available in Kenya!
I can't say enough about Estleon Adventures. From the moment we requested a quote to the safari itself, everything was absolutely amazing. Our tour guide Bernard (Ben) exceeded every expectation we had. He was unbelievably knowledgeable about everything we asked and did everything he could to get us up close and personal with all the animals. We even witnessed a lion pride hunt and take down a zebra our first night there. We did an 8 day safari and wish we could have done more. We seen more animals and experienced more culture than we thought was possible. Esther was amazing with communicating and setting everything up for us. The accomodations were beyond what we could have imagined and made the entire trip stress free. Even though they call them camps, they are equivalent to some of the best resorts available. Esther had everything set up and we didn't have to worry about a single thing. If you are looking for an exceptional, locally owned company for your safari, Estleon Adventures is your best option out there. You will not be disappointed!

Everything was delivered as expected
Tlike to travel independently and using a travel agency isn't something l've ever really done.
For a safari in Kenya it's pretty much the only way you are going to be able to navigate it all without it driving you mad and especially trying to do it from the UK.
After reading the many reviews of Julius, T, Safaris on tripadvisor/ Google and having had some other quotes from Kenya based operators I got a very competitive quote from Julius and decided that he was the operator to deal with.
Please be assured, if you are like me, and very proactive on the organisational side, that there is an 'African Pace' to all of this.
Julius is not being deliberately slow at any stage and that everything will be okay and works out as you had discussed initially at the booking and deposit stage as you want.
It just takes time and Julius is clearly dealing with a lot of clients/ potential clients.
We were also slightly nervous about sending so much money ahead of leaving the UK by wise (deposit) and then the balance but it was all good.
We had a 7 day trip with my wife and two teenage boys taking in Nakuru, Mara, Naivasha and Amboseli before the train to Mombasa and a week at Diani.
We had George as our driver and we could only give him the best feedback as he was so patient with our boys throughout and listened to want we wanted to see delivering every time!
We got to see everything we wanted including a leopard in Nakuru, Rhinos, Cheetah and best of all for me the Migration had started and we also got to see a river crossing.
Thanks George, poli poli wins the day.

Perfect 8-days in Kenya! Strongly recommend
Our guide Samson is professional and patient. Perfect communication and eyesight. He always could found interesting things and animals while driving before we noticing. Taught us a lot practical Kenyan and Masai phrases. Excellent driving technique! Enjoy our eight days in Kenya seeing splendid African scenery and wildlife. Hope to come again.

Professional, friendly and genuinely great people!
Amazing experience! I can’t recommend Almighty Kilimanjaro enough if you’re looking to book your Kilimanjaro trek.
We chose to do the 6 day Machame route and felt like the tempo and workload was very manageable (we are both 23 and fairly fit).
We loved that each day was different in terms of scenery, terrain and views. Our personal favourites were day 2 where we got amazing views of Mount Meru in the distance throughout the day and an epic sunset over the peak at night and obviously the sunrise views from the summit on day 5.
The team at Almighty Kilimanjaro really make the trip amazing though! Our group leader, Innocent, was an excellent motivator and genuinely a great guy to be around. He made us all feel very safe throughout the trek and on nights 2,3 and 4 we got our oxygen levels and heart rates checked by him and also a check list on other potential symptoms of altitude sickness.
Freddie was our second guide who was also very friendly, helpful and caring. These two were very professional and good at their jobs.
We would like to mention Simon who seemed to be a Jack-of-all-trades. Throughout the trek he began as a porter, before helping the chef in the evenings. Once our group spilt into the people doing 6 days and the others 7 days, Simon became a guide alongside Innocent for the final push to the summit. Without both of their positive attitudes and help on the last push, I’m not convinced we would have made it! On the last evening Simon helped manage the camp and served us our meals etc too. He was an amazing guy.
We’d also like to mention the chef, Emmanuel and sever Yusto. The food was very impressive each day considering the circumstances and the equipment they had to work with. We had lovely hot meals every day.
With Yusto’s impeccable professionalism, politeness and helpfulness he could work in a 5 star restaurant in the UK, we really felt like we were treated like royalty!
Lastly, we can’t forget about the amazing porters, the graft they put in is nothing short of incredible! The speed they ascend and descend to ensure we got good spots at the campsite was admirable and they were all so friendly too.
We can’t recommend this trip and company enough. Great value for money, communication before hand was good and the hotel that was provided either side of the trek was beautiful. Many companies who do this trip are owned by people from the other side of the world. However, Almighty Kilimanjaro is owned and managed by Tanzanians.

Fabulous Greenfire Game Lodge 4 day Stay and Safari
Greenfire Game Lodge offers comfortable and eco conscious safaris for a very reasonable cost. Food was healthy and beautifully presented, our hosts and safari guide were all knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the animals and the area. We saw magnificent game over the 4 days. Elefant, Giraffe and kudo from the vehicle but also just outside our rooms in the river course… lions, rhinos, hyenas zebra , various antelopes and many birds on the drives. Felt very blessed by the experience and highly recommend it. Easy transport from airport and back again, all went very smoothly.
