Deams coming true
The accommodations were excellent in terms of comfort, cleanliness, and overall quality, providing a relaxing and well-maintained environment. The organization and timing were flawless: all activities followed the schedule perfectly, allowing us to enjoy the experience without any delays or stress.
A special mention goes to our guide, David, who was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and reliable. His deep understanding of wildlife and the local environment, combined with a calm and attentive approach, greatly enhanced the overall safari experience and made us feel safe at all times.
The food was also of a very high standard, with well-prepared, varied meals that consistently met expectations.
We highly recommend this safari to anyone seeking a well-organized experience with excellent service and professionalism throughout.

It was awesome
Everyone was so kind. The tour itself was absolutely impressive. Everyone should see this country with their own eyes at least once. We came back feeling very grounded and hope that we will be able to return someday.

Amazing
Me and my boyfriend have spent 3 days together in the amazing Neyerere national park with our incredible, amazing and wonderful guide Tiko.
The first day we had a game drive through the park nd we saw lot of animals in the Nyerere national park, and Tiko was so clear and kind to us explaining lot of stuff, he's more than a guide, he's a real friend. The other two days we visited the masaai village, a school in Mloka and we had the chance to take a boat safari. We stayed in the Selous Lodge, and it was so funny, litterally into the wild.. a lot of monkeys around, it was really cool.
I suggest you to book this amazing experience with Shammah Wonders, and ask to have Tiko, he's really the best, we will never forget this nice opportunity to have met him!

A TrA truly Bespoke and Unforgettable Family Experience in Kenyan Wildlife
We are a family of four (2 adults, a 5-year-old daughter and a 2-year-old son), and this Kenya safari was an absolutely exceptional, thoughtfully curated experience, perfectly suited for a family traveling with young children.
The tour operator James went above and beyond to create a bespoke itinerary, balancing comfort, flexibility, and incredible wildlife encounters.
Our stay at Zebra Plain River Boutique Camp in Masai Mara was truly outstanding and deserves special mention. The experience here felt highly personalized, with customised lunch and dinner options and special care and genuine warmth shown towards our children, which made us feel completely at home. From our luxury tent, we were delighted to spot giraffes, zebras, and even hyenas, a magical experience for our kids.
The Masai Mara game drives were nothing short of spectacular. We witnessed unforgettable moments including lion sightings, a lion kill, a cheetah kill, a hyena kill, the elusive leopard, elephant herd crossings, elephants enjoying a mud bath, the truly gigantic hippos, Nile crocodiles, along with beautiful zebra herds and graceful giraffe sightings throughout the Mara.
Lake Nakuru National Park was another major highlight. In addition to seeing rhinos up close and witnessing an incredible rhino crossing, we were captivated by the beautiful giraffes of Lake Nakuru, which added a serene and elegant touch to the experience.
Our stay at Ol Pejeta Serena Sweetwaters was equally memorable. The luxury tent accommodation was superb, and spotting white rhinos up close right from our tent, along with excellent rhino sightings within Ol Pejeta Conservancy, was truly special.
A very special and emotional highlight of our trip was our visit to Baraka, the blind black rhino, and meeting Najin and Fatu — the last two remaining northern white rhinos in the world — at Ol Pejeta Conservancy. This once-in-a-lifetime experience was deeply moving and educational, especially for our children, and gave us a profound appreciation for wildlife conservation.
Above all, a heartfelt thank-you to our guides, John and Julius, who felt more like friends than guides. Their deep wildlife knowledge, sharp spotting skills, patience, and genuine care — especially towards our children — made every game drive relaxed, safe, and enjoyable. The conversations about culture, nature, wildlife, food with them was remarkable. They truly became a special part of our family’s journey.
We highly recommend this tour operator, especially to families with young children. A perfect blend of bespoke service, comfort, meaningful conservation experiences, and breathtaking wildlife — a truly 5-star Kenya safari experience!

A Safari Beyond All Expectations
Our safari with Charles was nothing short of extraordinary. From the very beginning, he showed incredible dedication to making this journey truly unforgettable. At every turn, he ensured we had the best possible experience, patiently stopping at animal sightings and getting us impressively close while always being respectful of the animals and their space.
His deep knowledge of the wildlife, the landscapes, and animal behavior was truly impressive. It’s clear that he genuinely loves what he does, and his passion and enthusiasm were absolutely contagious throughout the entire trip.
Every aspect of the safari was perfectly organized by Wivi Agency. Our organiser, Elias, made sure everything ran smoothly, from the planning stage to the day-to-day logistics, allowing us to fully relax and enjoy the experience. The accommodations were outstanding, a true 12 out of 10, with every detail thoughtfully arranged. One of the most breathtaking highlights was the hot air balloon flight, which left us completely speechless. The meals were consistently delicious and beautifully prepared.
Some of my favorite moments included peaceful lunch breaks surrounded by giraffes and elephants, spotting an incredible number of animals including the Big Five, and spending nights in luxury tents right in the heart of the bush. It was glamping at its absolute finest. Falling asleep to the sounds of the wild was pure magic.
Overall, this trip wasn’t just amazing, it was completely off the charts, a solid 12 out of 10. I will absolutely return for another safari with Charles and will be recommending Wivi Agency to anyone dreaming of a true African adventure.

A simple & smooth arrangement for a once in a life time UNREAL experience!!!
BOOKING
We expressed interest in a 5-day safari, and were instantly greeted by Elijah who corresponded with us quickly - providing us with a range of options & quotes that were best suited to us. We booked and paid a deposit with ease. Communication was great. We made a small change in plans (internal flight instead of train) and Elijah managed to alter our journey and support us with transport from the airport to our next holiday, free of charge.
Elijah and the booking team went above and beyond for us - and without such superb organisation, the safari could not have been as stress free as it was. We were greeted on our arrival, introduced to our first hotel and given a run down of our itinerary and what to expect. Thank you Elijah!
SAFARI
Our safari experience was unreal. Considering we were ‘out of season’ and only there for 5-days, the animals, wildlife & scenery we got to see was out of this world. Our tour guide Patrick had a great relationship with other guides and rangers across the parks, and together they worked to provide us with the opportunity to see 4 of the BIG FIVE - up close & personal. I would highly recommend!
TOUR GUIDE - Patrick <3
We were blessed with the coolest tour guide Patrick. He explained our itinerary with us clearly - we always knew what the plan was, and he was open to discussion around changing/re-arranging, depending on how we the travellers felt. He had a good eye for wildlife, pointing out different species of birds, different facts of the animals, and information on the various landscapes we got to experience. He went above and beyond to allow us to get as up close and personal as was allowed.
When commuting between parks/lodges, we were afforded numerous opportunities to stop at view points, to use the washrooms and purchase some snacks, and to shop at the local village shops. We had a million questions for Patrick - and he was able to talk history, politics, climate change & evolution - we learnt so much!
We would highly recommend Patrick - his passion for people, wildlife & conservation is clear! We wish you well and if we come over again, we will definitely be requesting him!
ACCOMMODATION
We went for mid-range accommodation, and each place we stayed at was superb and beyond expectation. We wish we could have spent more time in our various lodges/camps. Service and staff engagement was brilliant - we have no complaints. The food and drinks were delicious, and we never ever went hungry - with free bottled water provided throughout the safari and accommodation, and 3 meals & day (each with three to four courses).
TRAVEL
Given the nature of a safari and our choice of various parks/conservations, a lot of our time was spent in the 4x4 with Patrick - either on game drives, or when travelling between them. The vehicle felt like luxury, it had electrical points across, windows that could open and close, a roof that could also open & close, lights if needed, and a fridge.
Although travel took up a lot of the trip, we got to experience the ways of life by many different tribes across Kenya - so if you like learning about local culture and people, it could never be a negative in a 4x4 so lovely. Just be prepared for the bumpy roads and consider a plump cushion for the road!
