Memorable trip to Kenya with Apodiformes Adventures
This was our first trip to Kenya, and we were so fortunate to have found Apodiforms—such a professional tour operator. Before our departure, they responded promptly to all our inquiries and helped us confirm the hotels we needed. Upon arrival, we were even more amazed by the expertise of our guide. Not only did he navigate effortlessly through various national parks without any need for maps, but after I expressed my interest in birdwatching, he could identify every bird we spotted by their full names. Additionally, he possessed excellent off-road driving skills and assisted us with local communication issues. It was truly a memorable and unique journey.

I am so lucky to have found Michelle
I found the perfect person to coordinate my trip! I found Michelle online with good reviews and a good website. I was just throwing around the idea of a trip thinking I probably wouldn’t be able to afford it. Within an hour of sending in my request for information, Michelle responded to me (+9 hours from my time) and scheduled a phone call to discuss what I was looking for and my budget. When I talked to her on the phone, I instantly knew she was the right person for the job. She listened to all my goals of the trip and even though I thought I knew what I wanted, she let me know that there were better places for my animal expectations and the atmosphere I wanted.
SHE DID NOT FAIL! She found me the most amazing trip! A little bit of town and a lot of safari. Her communication and itineraries were exceptional! She found a trip that met all my wishes and even beat my budget. She gave travel tips and information on money, tipping, transportation and even included a few tours in Cape Town. My trip was PERFECT.
My hotel in Cape Town and two different Safari Lodges (and staff) were exactly fitted to my personality and the animals I wanted to see. Beautiful accommodations and the best of amenities at each. We had a tiny snag when I first arrived with my airport transportation. It was no big deal to me, I just grabbed an Uber. When Michelle found out, she got me a refund (not needed) on the transportation and even dropped off some trip gifts to my room. It seemed like she has a good relationship with the places she books because my first stop seemed like they knew her personally. It makes you feel like you are in good hands.
If you are a first-time safari-er, I can personally testify that Michelle will take great care of you and do her best to make sure your goals are met and trip is amazing. Her communication skills never leave you doubting if she is there or if she cares. She definitely does. I am thankful my search led me to her! THANK YOU MICHELLE!

Absolutely amazing safari company with great customer service!
Highly recommend kiwoito! We are two travelers from America in our 30s visiting east Africa for the first time. We couldn’t have picked a better company to go with! There were so many safari companies to choose from, that were so overwhelming but what made us go with this company was how fast Jessca responded to us, and accommodated our every request. We have over 50 emails with her and she responds multiple times in a day. The itinerary was detailed and professional- we did 10 days safari through Tanzania including Serengeti and ngorongoro crater. In retrospect the only recommendation is to spend less time In lake natron and more at the crater but that was our own picking. They contract out out to AMAZING lodges at better rates than you can get on your own. Seriously, the lodges were all perfect. And we did mid tier with a luxury booking at the end. I’m very impressed how we marked that we were celebrating our anniversary and every single place remembered to wish us congratulations, and many if not most went above and beyond with cakes and songs! Truly so so special, we’ve never felt this level of service back in the states. Lastly, our guide Festo Msofe was an absolute star. He’s been a guide for 15 years and it shows. He was so enthusiastic about teaching us animals facts, and he clearly knows his way around the plains. He managed to get us front row Seats to the Mara river crossing not once but THREE TIMES - he just knows when it’s about to happen. And we never waited more than 30 minutes either! He also took his time with the drives, and never rushed us to go home. If anything we wanted to call it an early day but he encouraged us to see a bit more. Other guides told us we were lucky to have him and we really think so. He’s very honest and sincere! So from beginning to end the trip was perfect. Small details like making sure your favorite drinks and snacks were in the car was also noted and appreciated. From what I understand. They’re mostly marketed to the French but everyone spoke perfect English. Definitely recommending this company to friends and family. Oh, and they’re locally Tanzanian owned which goes back to further supporting the cause! They’re a small company that focuses on making a good intimate experience for you!

Highly recommend
Climbing Kilimanjaro with Nafika Tours was one of the best experiences of my life. From start to finish, everything was well organized and handled with great professionalism. The food on the mountain was not only delicious but also far beyond my expectations — every meal gave us the strength we needed for each day’s climb.
A special thanks to Elias, who managed all the arrangements smoothly and was always quick to respond to our questions before the trip. During the climb, our main guide Innocent was absolutely outstanding. His experience, encouragement, and constant attention to our well-being played a huge role in our successful summit. Along with the whole team of porters and staff, they were always cheerful, supportive, and truly went above and beyond to make sure we were safe and comfortable.
Thanks to Nafika Tours and their wonderful team, I was able to achieve my dream of standing on the roof of Africa. It was not just a climb, but an unforgettable journey full of warmth, care, and incredible memories.
I wholeheartedly recommend Nafika Tours to anyone planning to climb Kilimanjaro — they made this African adventure truly special!

Great hiking experience with flawless organization and wonderful team
We (my partner and I) hiked Mount Kenya in August of 2025 for 5 days. We were extremely happy with the experience. The hike itself was beautiful, even if quite challenging due to the altitude, and we were super happy about the team around our senior guide Daniel. Daniel and co-guide Daniel were the perfect guides - very pleasant to be around, helpful/ supportive and had an answer to all of our questions about animals in the area and so on. In general the team of seven people we were hiking with was super friendly and supportive- they did and excellent job and every meal was just very nice and plenty.
The transportation to and from the mountain to Nairobi wasn’t very comfortable but okay.
