Very professional, on time and going above and beyond to ensure excellent service
Very well managed tour. From the beginning Simon (my contact from Earthwings) was very responsive, answered all my questions and accomodated all my requests. They also give me the most competitive rates without compromising on any aspect of the service.
Lastly my driver and tour guide Barnabas was extremely professional..he ensured we got as many sightings as we could and he stopped wherever we wanted ensuring we got an exceptional experience.
Highly recommended

Amazing Family Safari with Gemfinders Tours and Travel
We had a fantastic tailor-made safari experience with Gemfinders Tours and Travel and couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out.
We are a family of four with two children, and the trip was perfectly planned for us. Our journey started in Nairobi, continued through Amboseli and Tsavo National Parks (with two nights in the parks), and ended at the beautiful Diani Beach. The mix of adventure and relaxation was spot on.
The wildlife sightings were incredible. Thanks to our amazing guides, we saw lions, elephants, giraffes, and so many other animals — basically all the Lion King characters, which was a huge highlight for our kids.
A big thank you to our guides Lowrance and Eric. They were professional, friendly, and great with children. Their knowledge of the parks and ability to spot animals made every game drive exciting and memorable.
Everything was well organized — comfortable vehicles, smooth transfers, and carefully chosen accommodations. What we appreciated most was the personal approach. This was not a standard tour, but a flexible, thoughtfully designed trip that truly felt made just for us.
Finishing the safari at Diani Beach was the perfect way to relax after the adventure.
We highly recommend Gemfinders Tours and Travel to anyone looking for a reliable company and a customized safari experience, especially families. We came back with amazing memories and would gladly travel with them again!

This is a wonderful and unforgettable trip, and the Ways of Africa made it perfect.
This is my first time traveling in Africa, and before departure, I compared several local travel agencies in Kenya via email. Paul, the manager of Ways of Africa, always provided me with travel planning suggestions and offered relatively good prices in his replies.
During the trip, driver Paul knew every corner of every national park like the back of his hand. He was able to spot animals in the first place and would call other drivers to ask where the animals were. During this trip, we saw almost all the animals that can be seen in Africa. At the same time, Paul was also very humorous and talkative, and he never got bored as he wandered between national parks.
The accommodation and dining arrangements for this trip were also perfect, from high-end resort hotels to tent campsites. It was a very rare African experience, and regardless of the facilities, they were clean and convenient. The three meals were all very good, and I didn't feel uncomfortable at all.
When applying for an eTA, Paul also helped us solve some minor problems and was indeed very willing to serve our clients.
PS: The manager and driver of this company are both named Paul, they are two different people.

excellent tour operator that takes into account all your wishes and organizes an unforgettable tri
This was our first trip to Africa with friends, after which we simply became hooked on it and every year we try to return to new places, largely thanks to the tour operator and the first impression we had after our trip to Kenya. I recommend everyone who hasn't been there yet, and even those who have, to go there through this tour operator, because the organization will be top-notch and you will never forget this vacation, in a good way.

The best ever
I cannot recommend this safari highly enough. The communication was excellent, as was the value for money. Both lodges we stayed at on our four day safari were wonderful and far exceeded expectations. The food was ridiculously tasty and Evans our driver was phenomenal. Evans if you read this, thank you so much for everything. He was very knowledgeable and very good at finding all the animals. The car was super comfortable and perfect for viewing the wildlife
