Excellent Service and Trip Planning
Booked with Viatu after recommendations online.
Simone was our go to trip organiser and produced 3 excellent iterations for us to discuss. Having decided on our iteration she then produced a complete itinerary including photos of planned stops, activities at each stop and travel directions for our 2466 km journey through Namibia.
She was always available for questions prior to departure talking us through visa applications and health requirements.
On arrival our baggage had not arrived and was not being delivered by SAA to our accommodation in Windhoek. One call to Simone and the bags were delivered the very next day! Without her intervention we would have missed an entire day of trip.
The trip itself was exactly as described and each stop just got better and better. Quality of accommodation and friendliness of staff was outstanding and shows the care that Viatu place in accommodating their clients.
Thank you Simone, thank you Viatu.
I have no hesitation in thoroughly recommending both!!

Incredible safari with a superb company
I joined an eight-day safari with Apodiformes Adventures, with an additional two nights in Nairobi, one before and one after the safari, and I had an excellent experience from start to finish.
Silas, the owner of the company, was incredibly helpful and accommodating throughout the entire process. He answered all my questions promptly, no matter what time of the day it was. I also had the pleasure of meeting him in person, and he is a very charismatic, friendly, and welcoming person.
Kevin was our safari driver and guide for the entire eight days, and it was an absolute pleasure having him with us. He was polite, patient, extremely knowledgeable. And my God, he has incredible vision! I always said he has “Eagle Eyes” because he could spot animals from unbelievably far away. Even at a great distance, he could tell us what animal it was, whether it was male or female, what species it was, and so much more. His knowledge of the wildlife was truly extensive.
Most importantly, Kevin seemed to have an internal GPS in his head. He knew exactly how to navigate the parks and where to look for different animals. Thanks to him, we managed to see more than 30 lions in different groups and locations, dozens of hippos, one very rare leopard, a cheetah, and countless zebras, gazelles, giraffes, and many, many other animals.
The hotels and safari lodges selected for us were also excellent. The accommodation was very comfortable, the service was very good, and the food was delicious throughout the trip.
Overall, we had a fantastic safari experience, and I would recommend Apodiformes Adventures to anyone planning a safari in Kenya.

Amazing
Champion made our journey truly special. He managed to take all of our wishes into account and gave us exactly the experiences we had hoped for – and so much more.
Thanks to his experience, we always found fantastic viewpoints and had incredible opportunities to observe the animals in their natural habitat. During our six-day safari, we actually managed to see all of the Big Five – and we owe a huge part of that to Champion and his amazing instinct for knowing exactly where to be at the right time.
Champion is incredibly attentive, considerate, helpful, empathetic, and also has a great sense of humor. Throughout the entire journey, we always felt safe, well taken care of, and completely comfortable.
What impressed us especially was his incredible knowledge. He shared so much with us about the animals, the different places we visited, and his country. You can truly feel how well he knows and loves his home and how much he enjoys sharing his knowledge with his guests.
We are incredibly grateful that we had the opportunity to experience this journey with Champion. He was not just our guide – he played a huge part in making these six days an unforgettable experience that we will always remember.
Asante sana, Champion!

Amazing Safari Experience with an Incredible Guide
We had an amazing safari experience! Everything went very smoothly, the lodges were clean and comfortable, the food was good, and both Jambo Mara Safari Lodge and Lake Nakuru Lodge had mosquito nets.
The only thing to improve would be the information about drinking water. It is advertised as included, but only the water provided during the safari drives is included. At the lodges, extra water has to be paid for, which should be made clearer in advance because is expensive and you dont have any options to buy the water in another place.
The absolute highlight was our Masai guide, Peter. He was incredible and made the whole experience so special. The safari simply wouldn’t have been the same without him.
Overall, a fantastic experience and definitely recommended!

Heart warmful tour
We had an absolutely wonderful safari experience in the Maasai Mara, and we are very grateful to the entire team for making our trip so memorable. From the beginning, the communication and arrangements were smooth and professional, and everything was well organized.
Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely passionate about the wildlife and the Maasai Mara. Thanks to his excellent skills and experience, we were able to see an incredible variety of animals, including lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, and many other species. He also took the time to explain the animals’ behavior and the surrounding ecosystem, which made the experience even more fascinating.
The team was attentive, welcoming, and always willing to help. We felt safe and comfortable throughout the safari, while still enjoying an authentic and exciting adventure in nature.
We highly recommend this safari company to anyone planning a trip to Kenya. It was an unforgettable experience, and we hope to return to the Maasai Mara again in the future!
