Unforgettable 8 Day Kenya trip with lots of animals, amazing guide and reliable tour operator
We booked our 8-day Private Safari with Kiboko a few weeks ahead of our trip, and it went very smoothly. Gibson communicated excellently, and we made some changes to the tour, and he was incredibly accommodating and answered all our questions.
Our safari guide Chris was the best! He is not only an exceptional guide but also a great driver and conversationalist. He can read the room perfectly and knows when his guests want to chat and when they want to just rest. Chris was always on time and was flexible when we wanted to adjust the schedule slightly. We particularly appreciated Chris's extensive knowledge about animals and Kenyan culture, giving us more insights and understanding of how life is in Kenya. We saw lots of animals thanks to him and would highly recommend Chris as a guide in a heartbeat.
On our last day, we had some more time than expected due to a flight delay, and Chris made sure we could spend the extra hours in Nairobi. We were thrilled with the coffee farm tour, and he recommended a great restaurant for dinner before dropping us off at the airport.
Our favorite place was Samburu. It's a bit further off but worth the drive because of the scenery and tranquility during game drives! We even spotted rare twin baby elephants and saw a massive herd of elephants passing along the river from our hotel balcony (Samburu Simba Lodge, a special gem with the kindest staff). Next to Masai Mara, we would further recommend checking out Ol Pejeta Conservancy, especially to support their Rhino conservation efforts. And if you want to see elephants very, very close (and if you are lucky, experience the thrill of seeing hyenas hunting), then Aberdare - The Ark is the place to go.

Great to experience Kenya with Noni Golfing & Safaris!
From the reception at the airport to the departure we have been very well taken care of in every possible way. We have been to Nairobi National Park, the National Museum, lake Naivasha and Karura forest. Our guides and the staff were knowledgeable and pleasant. We thank you very much for the tour.
Best regards,
Mona Økland and Stig Eriksen

An amazing South Africa safari & Capetown
We had planned a cruise from Capetown, South Africa and reached out to Robin Neal at Safari Ventures for our pre cruise safari. Her expertise was invaluable. She planned an amazing safari experience in Karongwe Private Reserve staying at Chisomo Lodge. Our game rides were wonderful and we loved our tracker and guide who were so passionate about what they did. We also loved the fact that most of our game rides consisted of us and our friends, just the 4 of us, and a couple of drives with 2 others which was capacity of the vehicle. We did other game drives as excursions from our ship but they were in big vehicles and the experience was not nearly as special. Robin planned our transfers from the airport and then our trip to Capetown where we had a guide for a couple of days before boarding our ship. Everything was seamless and we were extremely happy with our guide Kirsty. The day we got off our ship Robin arranged our pickup and day at the wineries with our eventual drop off at the airport for our night flight. Overall, everything was perfect. Robin was always available during our planning, answering any possible questions we had. Additionally the price point was great. We were all so happy with every part of the trip and would highly recommend Robin and Safari Ventures for planning of an Africa experience!

Amazing safari experience provided by Savannah Explorers
I highly recommend Savannah Explorers for safari planning! Agustin, the safari consultant, did an amazing job customizing the itinerary to match our requests and was super responsive and thorough with all our questions. The trip went smoothly, and everything—food, lodges, and service—was fantastic. Our guide, Jackson, was chill and hilarious, making the experience even more enjoyable. Thanks to him, we had an unforgettable safari and saw all the Big Five and more—hunting, eating, and even mating! Huge thanks to Savannah Explorers for their excellent service!

Everything was exactly as I imagined, from planning to execution.
It was a unique experience. The Savannah team is perfect for planning a trip like this. Alessia was our point of reference from the first moment I conceived the trip to Tanzania. Our guide Davide was great.

Perfect first Safari Experience
Everything went as planned and punctual. Accomodations were nice.
Guide/Driver Francis really knows what he's doing. I would have liked to hear and learn more about him but other than the Game Drives he kept entirely to himself.
The Bikes in Hells Gate are a mess but its all part of the experience ;)
Would absolutely recommend this trip
