Excellent
Great communications, service and a smooth experience. We loved our tour with Lion King. The driving, planning and expertise from Frederick our guide were second to none. As an expert photographer he always got us in the best position and always seemed to know where the animals were.

Amazing safari experience with an excellent guide
We had an amazing safari experience and were very happy with the overall service. Communication was good, although responses to WhatsApp messages could sometimes be a little faster. This may partly have been due to the time difference, and it did not affect our trip. The tour was well organized, reliable, and definitely worth the money. We were also very happy with the hotels and accommodations arranged for us.
A special thank you to our guide, David (Mukami), who made the safari especially memorable. He was always on time, very patient, friendly, and professional. During the game drives, he always tried his best to find the best spots for us to see and photograph the animals. He has a very sharp eye and could often spot wildlife that we would never have noticed ourselves.
David was also very responsive to wildlife sightings. Whenever he heard news that animals had been spotted nearby, he would quickly take us there and try to give us the best possible viewing opportunity. At the same time, we always felt safe with his driving, both during the game drives and on the longer journeys between destinations.
Overall, it was a fantastic experience. The combination of good organization, comfortable hotels, great value, and an excellent guide made this a safari we will remember for a long time. We would definitely recommend David and this safari tour to others.

Choose Earthwings, and be sure to ask for John Macharia.
We had a fantastic 5-day tour with Earthwings, and I can’t recommend them highly enough. Martin, the owner, was incredibly reliable from the very beginning—he responded promptly, arranged all the itinerary and contract details properly, and made the whole communication process smooth and stress-free.
A special shout-out to our guide, John Macharia. He is a highly experienced and senior guide, and thanks to him we saw an incredible amount of wildlife. He was warm, hardworking, and responsible, always ready and waiting for us on time each morning. Even when the itinerary was long and tiring, he never slacked off. We had many transfers, often driving 5–6 hours a day, but John drove steadily and safely the whole time, and he always responded enthusiastically to all our questions and requests.
John is a great driver, a great guide, and also a wonderful photographer. We had a truly wonderful time with him. I highly recommend Earthwings—and be sure to ask for John Macharia!

Excellent experience
Our tour guide Daudi was very friendly and experienced. He knows all the spots and showed us great animal scenes. Living across different lodges was absolutely fun and it’s a great escape from everyday life.

An unforgettable bespoke experience
Our experience with The 3Ps was great from the start, Norah helped us plan the exact trip we wanted and her communication was amazing. We were even able to add in extra experiences a few weeks before the trip to maximise our time. Our guide Maurice was friendly and knowledgeable striking the perfect balance between allowing us to enjoy privacy on a wonderful honeymoon but also passing on knowledge of Kenya’s wildlife and culture. He was always clear as to the plan for each day and he went over and above to ensure we got some incredible sightings and had an authentic experience. A trip we would highly recommend and good value for money in comparison to other options.

Amazing tour amazing trip
I went on the machame tour with my mum! We ended up with just one other person which made the whole trip really focused on us which was great. The campsite was set up for us when we arrived every day. Ladi and Dennis were great tour guides. Ladi is very experienced on the mountain he was able to tell us everything we needed each day making the trip very stress free. Food was fresh and they gave us water everyday to drink and to wash which I didn’t expect but was definitely a bonus. Everything was sorted out for us as soon as we got to the airport which let us focus on enjoying our trip. 10/10 experience I would recommend this trip to anyone and to ask for Ladi because he really was an excellent guide, I wouldn’t have made it to the summit if not for him and his positivity. I’m so grateful we got him as our guide. Asante sana Ladi

Couldn’t have planned a better vacation without Michelle Astbury
We are incredibly grateful to Michelle Astbury for planning our unforgettable 11-day African adventure for our family of seven—three couples and one single traveler. There is truly no way we could have planned a trip of this magnitude on our own, and Michelle made the entire experience seamless from beginning to end.
Michelle took the time to listen to each of our individual interests, wishes, and budget offering thoughtful suggestions and patiently working with us until every detail was exactly what we envisioned. She carefully selected beautiful hotels, exceptional tours, and knowledgeable guides in every destination we visited. Everything we wanted to experience was thoughtfully incorporated into our itinerary, and every transition was planned flawlessly.
What made Michelle especially exceptional was the personal attention and communication she gave our family. She joined our family Zoom planning meetings, taking the time to get to know each of us personally and understand what would make the trip special for everyone. That level of care made us feel like more than just clients—we truly felt that she was invested in making our family’s experience extraordinary.
When we first arrived, Michelle even met us for dinner to personally welcome us and surprised us with wonderful travel merchandise. It was such a thoughtful and memorable gesture and set the tone for an incredible journey.
Michelle is professional, knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely passionate about creating exceptional travel experiences. She exceeded our expectations in every way, and we would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking to plan a special trip. Our African adventure created memories our family will treasure for a lifetime, and Michelle played an enormous part in making that possible.
Thank you, Michelle, for your dedication, patience, personal touch, and for giving our family an experience we will never forget!

Great first safari experience
After a lot of research, I decided to book my first safari with Daylight Adventures and I'm so happy I did! I initially came across them on Reddit and was a bit nervous since they don't have a ton of reviews, but ultimately decided to take the chance. During the planning stage, Misaro was super responsive and flexible with all of my back and forth to get the itinerary details just right. Her and Veroline provided excellent communication leading up to the trip and were always quick to respond to my many questions. Our driver Ken was fabulous -- so friendly and great about asking us what we wanted to see and how we wanted to structure our game drives. My mom is now his #1 fan lol. Throughout our trip, the team in Nairobi was great about checking in to make sure everything was going well. When we decided at the last minute to stay in Nairobi instead of continuing on to Diani Beach, the team was super helpful in helping us arrange a driver for sightseeing in Nairobi (Jasper was wonderful!). Thanks, ya'll! Can't wait to come back to Kenya someday, and when I do, I'll be using Daylight.
