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.

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.
