Great value, great experience
We had a great time on safari with Kenya Walking Survivors. Their drivers and guides were very knowledgeable and pleasant to be around. The food was good and filling! It was a good price too. When we talked with a man in Nairobi and told him how much we had paid, he told us to expect a crowded tour bus shared with other tourists. But he was wrong, we had a private tour in a van with a pop up roof and we loved it! Accommodations were very simple and spare, but clean and comfortable. This wasn't one of those luxury safaris you see in movies. But we saw the same animals and it was an unforgettable experience!

Dream come true!
My wife and I booked a 12 day safari with KWSS and everything was truly amazing
Our guide, Jeffet made the trip worth every penny. He went out of his way to make sure we were enjoying ourselves.
We did have some reservations about using a smaller company and sending our money to Africa, but if you are considering using KWSS, you will not be disappointed!!
Thank you Mr.Otieno for the trip of a lifetime

Outstanding guide, fantastic tour, Amazing number of wild animals &birds, use this company!
From the very first contact the company was quick in responding to everything. A fourteen day trip F a lifetime. Our driver/guide, Japheth was friendly, and knowledgeable. He knew where to find the animals...rhinoceros, leopards, cheetahs, jackals, hyena, elephants, water buffalo, lions, lionesses, lion cubs, zebras, giraffes, ostrich, wildebeest to name only a few. And, not only once did we see there great mammals, but from one game reserve to another Japheth found these mammals. Mixing some walks along with game drives provided a nice break from long days in our safari vehicle. A boat ride in lake Naivasha drew us close to hippos and birds in the wild. A stay at Elsamere Lodge (think of the movie Born Free and the cub lion Elsa was raised by Joy Adamson) where they served high tea on the lake and colobus monkeys squawked in the trees above us and on the roamed the grounds. Zebras and giraffes wandering though the grounds. Hippos out of the lake in the night to graze on the grass. And, a chance to visit the Sambura tribe, a Maasi tribe, Amboseli, Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Nakuru and other game reserves. The owner contacted us frequently to ensure we were happy. He made suggestions for change to itinerary to improve our safari because animals may have migrated and he did not want us to miss anything. We were delighted with the changes. I cannot say e ought good things about this excursion. I highly recommend Kenya Walking Survival Safaris.

As i mentioned above, It was an such memorable experience.... for a adventurous freak like me...... guys just try to visit Masai Mara at-least once. We had a chance encounter all the big 5's (Lion, Cheetah, Leopard etc..) almost 5 to 10 feet closer. We had intervened in their routine life. Just missed to see the Hunting Scenes of the Big 5's. Even we had a glimpse of Lion Mating....... wow its so live.........

well organized, safe, informative, a well informed guide who knew what people needed and wanted, fun
this tour went beyond our expectations. It was well organized and presented in a relaxing and unconfusing manner. Accomadations and food were excellent. The cultural experiences were fabulous and well done. What made this tour so very special was our guide, Lucas. He shared his beautiful country and people with us with pride and warmth. The trip was one of a lifetime.

Amazing
We booked with Africa Flash McTours with Peter and from the start his communication amazing. I probably sent over 30 emails of questions and changes as the time approached and he answered every one of them and accommodated us with changes.
We did the 2 night camping which was exactly what we though it would be canvas tent under a thatched roof on concrete foundation. It was clean and comfortable. Mosquito nets were provided although we did not have a problem with them this time of the year.
We also did 1 night in lake Nakuru. I wish I had done more research or asked more questions. The lake is growing and many animals have either left or have been moved. The pink flamingos were not really visible and that many. It's not as great as the Masai Mara where our driver would 4 wheel drive over the plains to get to the animals. I would not recommend Nakuru, unless you don't mind sticking to the road and seeing animals from a far.
We asked Peter to for a pick up from the airport. Our hotel was going to charge us double and he provided a more reasonable price.
Peter picked us up the next day at our hotel and took us to our driver and the other passengers for the Safari. Antonio (who was the best) was our driver. He loves the animals and you can tell he loves for us to see them! We saw all but the lepoard of the Big 5 on the first 1/2 day drive
The next day was amazing as well. We drove the the other side of the park to the Mara river and saw Hippo and Crocs. Simple amazing.
overall I would recommend this company to anyone looking for a Safari, if you can handle a little bit rougher stay and are on a budget I would suggests the camping. 2 nights was perfect! Peter made all of our transfers easy and affordable.

It was such an awesome place to stay and the hospitality was fantastic
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there. The early morning game drive great - I cannot fault the hosts on anything - I will be back very soon - sitting around a fire at night listening to the wild was so relaxing.

Wonderful time in South Africa with Safpol Safaris
On behalf of our group I would like to say thank you to Barbara, Peter and Basia for organising this wonderful trip. They were always responsive in communication and very understanding of our needs. Safpol has fixed itineraries listed on their website, but worked with us to adjust the itinerary based on our preferences of what we wanted to see and do. They offered good ideas and tips when planning the trip while also honouring the budget we had available. The quality of the accommodation they booked was exceptional. They really put together an amazing itinerary for us and we did not have any complications with anything. The lodges were great, the safaris were amazing, all the transfers were on time, everything was just as the itinerary explained it would be. The tour guides Mariola and Marek were very knowledgeable and really caring about nature and the environment. We really enjoyed our holiday. Thanks to Safpol we had a wonderful time in South Africa. We will recommend Safpol as a very trustworthy company that gives a guarantee of a successful holiday.
