One Journey, Countless Memories. Thank You, Michael & Sublime Travels!
From the moment we started planning our Kenya safari until the day we flew home, Michael from Sublime Travels made the entire experience nothing short of extraordinary.
Planning a family safari can be overwhelming, but Michael took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for and designed an itinerary that was perfectly paced and never rushed, yet packed with unforgettable experiences. Every day felt thoughtfully planned, giving us enough time to truly soak in the beauty of Kenya without feeling like we were constantly on the move.
The accommodation choices were exceptional. Our stay at Lake Naivasha Sopa Resort was absolutely beautiful, with stunning river views, hippos grazing nearby, and a peaceful atmosphere that made it hard to leave. Staying in the club tent at Sarova Mara Game Camp, right inside the Masai Mara, was a magical experience. Waking up to the sounds of nature, spotting wildlife and beautiful birds around the camp, and experiencing the wilderness from within the reserve created memories we’ll cherish forever. Michael then introduced us to another hidden gem, Veilscape Camp near Simba Gate. The spacious luxury tents, warm hospitality, delicious food, cozy bonfires under the African sky, and breathtaking sundowners made it the perfect ending to our Mara adventure.
Every experience Michael arranged exceeded our expectations. Cycling through Hell’s Gate National Park, walking among zebras and giraffes on Crescent Island, the boat safari on Lake Naivasha, thrilling game drives in Lake Nakuru National Park and the Masai Mara, and the spectacular sunrise hot air balloon safari over the Mara were all flawlessly organized. Each activity complemented the next, creating a safari that offered adventure, relaxation, and unforgettable wildlife encounters.
What truly sets Michael apart is his incredible knowledge, passion, and instinct as a guide. On our very first evening game drive, he somehow managed to help us spot the Big Five, an achievement we never imagined possible so quickly. His understanding of animal behaviour, birdlife, ecosystems, and the Masai Mara is simply remarkable. Every game drive became an engaging wildlife masterclass, where we learned fascinating facts while witnessing nature at its finest.
One of the absolute highlights of our trip was witnessing the Great Migration. Thanks to Michael’s experience, patience, and exceptional positioning of the vehicle, we found ourselves with front-row seats to one of the most breathtaking river crossings imaginable. It was one of those once-in-a-lifetime moments that will stay with our family forever.
As a photography enthusiast, I cannot thank Michael enough. He has an incredible eye for positioning the vehicle perfectly, ensuring we always had the best angle, lighting, and unobstructed views for photography. Many of the photographs and videos we brought home simply wouldn’t have been possible without his patience and thoughtful positioning.
Beyond being an outstanding guide, Michael is one of the kindest and most empathetic people we’ve met. Our son was recovering from a fractured hand, and Michael consistently drove with extra care over rough terrain, making sure he remained comfortable throughout the journey. He even arranged special pillows to support him during the long drives. These thoughtful gestures meant so much to us and demonstrated that our family’s comfort and wellbeing were always his priority.
He also went above and beyond to make my wife’s birthday truly unforgettable. From arranging beautiful decorations to organizing a special celebration right in the heart of the African savannah, he transformed her birthday into one of the most memorable celebrations we’ve ever had. It was a magical surprise that we’ll treasure forever.
Michael’s attention to detail extended far beyond the safari itself. He recommended excellent coffee stops, wonderful lunch spots, and authentic curio shops where we could shop with confidence. Throughout the trip, his communication was prompt, transparent, and reassuring. Whether before the trip or during our travels, every question was answered quickly, and every arrangement was handled seamlessly.
By the end of our safari, Michael was no longer just our guide, he had become a genuine friend. His warmth, professionalism, infectious enthusiasm, and sincere care transformed an amazing holiday into a deeply personal and unforgettable experience.
A huge thank you also to the entire team at Sublime Travels for delivering such a flawlessly organized safari. Every booking, transfer, park entry, activity, and accommodation was executed perfectly. Their attention to detail and commitment to customer satisfaction were evident throughout our journey.
If you’re considering a safari in Kenya, don’t think twice, book with Sublime Travels and, if you’re lucky enough to have Michael as your guide, you’re in for the trip of a lifetime. We leave Kenya with thousands of incredible photographs, unforgettable memories, and hearts full of gratitude.
Africa has truly captured our hearts, and we’ve already started planning our next adventure with Michael and Sublime Travels. We cannot wait to return.

The tour operator was well organised and safe and took care of everything.
Serengeti Smile came in contact with us through Patricia. She was our main point of contact during the booking of this safari. She took care of everything while still answering all or questions and doubts without much delay.
She appointed Joshua to us as a Guide for the whole Safari. He was very kind to us and told us a lot of details during our Safari. Joshua was very helpful to try to get us to see as many different animals as possible.
We appreciate Patricia’s patience and Joshua’s effort during our trip.

Amazing guides!
A huge thank you to Éric and Julius for this safari in their company, a well-deserved 5 stars!
Makasa's strength lies in connecting you with a perfect local team. Éric, our French-speaking guide, was passionate, knowledgeable, and friendly. Julius, the driver, was really kind and very skilled at finding the best spots to observe the animals.
The lodges offered were good, especially the Kimbilio tented camp, with a truly wonderful team. During our stay at this camp, the Makasa owners were present but didn't show much warmth, they didn't take the time to welcome us.
Choose Makasa for its local teams, who are truly excellent and deserve working! Makasa should invest in a new vehicle for Julius, he deserves it, and it would be more comfortable for travelers. We hope you'll have the chance to be guided by Éric in French or English, it will be a wonderful experience for you!

Amazing experience!
We had an amazing experience with Good Secrets Safaris and would highly recommend them to anyone planning a safari in Kenya.
From the very beginning, Elsy was incredibly helpful and professional. She handled all the arrangements, answered our questions promptly, coordinated the hotels, and made the entire booking process smooth and stress-free. Everything was well organized, and we always felt we were in good hands.
During our 5-day safari to Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru, Evans was our guide. He was always friendly, positive, and willing to help with anything we needed. His great attitude and constant willingness to make our experience as enjoyable as possible really made a difference throughout the trip.
Overall, everything exceeded our expectations. Thank you, Good Secrets Safaris, especially Elsy and Evans, for making our Kenyan safari such a memorable experience. We would definitely book with you again!
