Great experience
Don’t think about it, just do it!
Chobe Day Trip was absolutely fantastic. Animal life is so rich, elephants, hippos and buffalos everywhere. We also saw seven lions and huge crocodiles ! A big thank you to our guides.

An exciting adventure, always with care
Me and my group of 7 friends had the trip of a lifetime (or two), all planned by Esther at Leisure Escapes Safaris! Leading up to the trip, we really appreciated how considerate Esther was to ensure we knew our options and answered each and everyone of our (many) questions. We did a 7 day safari to Amboseli, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, and Mara, staying at lodges in the parks at each step.
For most of our crew, this was their first Safari. Each and everyone was absolutely blown away with how up close they got with the animals. Each of the lodges we visited was unique and brought something special to our trip -- from the Elephant heard camped in the "backyard" of Ol Tukai Lodge to the stunning Mara views of the Mara Serena Safari Lodge.
We had an exciting end to the trip, with a high Mara river after a nights rain, because the river was not passable from our lodge, Esther expertly guided us through booking a last minute flight from the nearby airstrip. The entire group enjoyed this as a final adventure and were really impressed with how Esther was able to help us out at the last minute and arrange for an alternative way to get back and make our flight out of Nairobi.

Professional, responsive, and hugely helpful when support was needed
Leisure Escapes Safaris was wonderful! We spent 6 days on safari with them and everything went more smoothly than I could have expected. The guide was professional, knowledgeable, an excellent driver, and did a great job keeping us safe on some challenging roads. When we got stuck behind a flooded bridge on our last day, the company was quick to book us on a flight out of the park so that we could make our international flights from Nairobi that same day -- they were responsive and seamlessly found an affordable solution for us. Great value for money. Would happily recommend them and use them again if I return to Kenya!

The tour operator executed the itinerary smoothly, was responsible, easy to contact, and responsive.
I had a great experience with this tour operator and felt very satisfied overall. Communication was excellent and they were very responsive. Even though I arrived late in Nairobi the day before the tour and couldn’t visit their office for payment, they kindly came to my hotel to complete the process and provided a detailed briefing. I was also pleasantly surprised to receive souvenirs, a certificate, and a gift.
The next day, I was picked up on time by a very friendly and professional driver and guide. The entire itinerary was carried out smoothly as planned. I chose a lodge for accommodation, and it was very comfortable.
The driver and guide were responsible, trustworthy, and worked hard to help us spot the Big Five. They always stopped whenever there was something special to see, which made the experience even more memorable. Highly recommended!

Seamless safari experience with an exceptional guide
We had an incredible experience with Leisure Escapes Safari. From start to finish, Esther and her team were seamless in their coordination and communication, consistently responsive, organized, and accommodating to our group’s needs.
Our itinerary took us across four different parks and included stays at four lodges, all of which were expertly coordinated. Every detail was handled smoothly, allowing us to fully enjoy the experience without worrying about the planning.
A huge highlight of our trip was our guide, Charles, who truly made the experience unforgettable. He was incredibly knowledgeable during game drives and ensured that all travel between parks was comfortable and well-paced. We were also fortunate to see an amazing range of wildlife, including rarer sightings like cheetahs on the hunt and elusive rhinos.
One moment that really stood out was on our final day in Maasai Mara, when heavy rains flooded the exit roads. The Leisure Escapes team quickly sprang into action and helped coordinate alternative air travel so we could return to Nairobi in time for our flights home.
Overall, Leisure Escapes Safari delivered a smooth, memorable, and well-executed trip. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a thoughtfully organized safari with outstanding on-the-ground support.

A top-class safari operator with expert local guides.
We had an amazing safari experience in the Maasai Mara, and our driver Kasaine was absolutely outstanding. He was from the local area, which made a huge difference because he really knew the land and the animal patterns. Thanks to his knowledge, we were often the first jeep to arrive at sightings, and we saw so many animals before the crowds showed up.
He was extremely patient the entire trip and never rushed us, even when we wanted to stay longer to watch the animals or take photos. You could tell he genuinely cared about giving us the best possible experience, not just finishing the drive.
Honestly, I think we got the number one driver in the Maasai Mara. His skill, patience, and local knowledge made the safari unforgettable. I would highly recommend him to anyone going on safari.

Knowledgeable
We had a 3-day safari in Kruger National Park, and the experience was incredible. Our guide, Hoppy, was extremely knowledgeable about the animals, birds, their habitats, and behaviors, as well as the history of the park. The insights he shared while we were spotting wildlife made the experience engaging, informative, and truly personal.
