Great safari and best value for the given price
The tour started on time, we were picked promptly at our hotel and then we started the long road to Masai Mara not long after paying for the whole trip.
Our guide Robert was prompt, he had a safe driving style which was greatly appreciated given the traffic in Kenya.
We did not manage to see any rhino, but we got to see a leopard on the first day which I know that is pretty rare. Robert did his best to show as many animals, events and views as he could.
He also explained things about animals, history of the locals, etc. Sometimes we had to ask him about certain things, but his answers were good.
Indications during the trip were not given but would have been appreciated, things like: we are heading for this or that, we are heading back to camp, etc.

Excellent Safari Experience with Mournic Adventures!
We had an amazing 9-day safari and beach holiday with Mournic Adventures. From the very beginning, victor was responsive, professional, and patient in customizing the itinerary to fit our arrival and departure times. The final quote was very reasonable and transparent.
The trip covered Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, Amboseli, Tsavo West, Tsavo East, and Diani Beach. Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly, and the private 4x4 Land Cruiser was comfortable with a pop-up roof for great game viewing. The accommodations were well chosen, and the SGR train and domestic flight back to Nairobi made the journey smooth.
Highly recommended for anyone looking for a well-organized and memorable Kenyan safari!

An Unforgettable Safari Experience with an Incredible Team! 🐘🦁❤
We couldn’t have imagined a better safari experience! From start to finish, everything was absolutely amazing. The wildlife we got to see, the breathtaking landscapes, and the unforgettable moments we shared made this trip truly special.
A huge thank you to our guide, Allen, who made the entire experience so incredible. His knowledge, passion, kindness, and enthusiasm made every game drive exciting and memorable. He always went above and beyond to make sure we had the best possible experience and created unforgettable moments throughout our safari. The same goes for our wonderful cook, Fedastian, whose delicious meals and warm, caring nature made the entire experience even more special.
Mama Africa always went above and beyond to make sure all our safari wishes and expectations came true, and her warmth, kindness, and the incredible hospitality of her entire family made us feel so welcome and cared for throughout the whole experience.

One of the best experiences of my life
My wife and I chose this operator because, after contacting several others, this one made a great impression on us—and we weren't wrong. Going on safari with this operator was the best decision we could have made. Everything went exactly as planned, and the experience was truly rewarding. Vasco stayed in touch with us throughout the safari and was incredibly attentive; he is a very friendly person who was a huge help to us. Our safari guide, Rocky, was a fantastic companion over those five days and a wonderful person. Thanks to him, we saw a vast array of wildlife and learned a great deal about this magnificent country. I highly recommend booking your safari with Sacred Wilderness Expedition to ensure an extraordinary experience.

Good Value and Responsive Service
We had a very enjoyable safari with Amazing Memories Safaris and felt it offered good value for a mid-range trip. Titus was patient, offered helpful suggestions when planning the itinerary, and was very responsive throughout.
Overall, we were happy with the experience, though there were a couple of areas for improvement. Once we arrived, we found that some parts of the itinerary could have been better planned. We had also been assured that the hotels would be informed about our birthday and anniversary celebrations, but the promised arrangements did not come through.
Despite these shortcomings, we came away satisfied with the trip. A little more attention to the itinerary and follow-through on special requests would have made it even better.

Everything went like clockwork
From airport pickup to quality of hotels selected we were happy with every aspect of the service we received. Our private jeep was comfortable and our guide knowledgable. We took his advice and were delighted with the outcomes. Early morning start from the lodge with packed breakfast gave us some unforgettable experiences with the wildlife. We had limited time but the route and choice of national parks was perfect. I carefully printed out every voucher the agent provided us with but I never need to show any of them. 100% reliability and value for money

The warmth and care we felt from the team made the entire experience deeply special.
It was an unforgettable journey.Our deepest gratitude goes to our exceptional guide, who truly shaped our journey. He was incredibly dedicated and always worked hard to secure the best viewing spots for us, allowing us to luckily witness the wildebeest crossing early on our third morning. But what I loved most about this safari was simply cruising in the Land Cruiser and embracing the unpredictable landscapes and spontaneous encounters along the way. Waiting and deferring to nature was a lesson he taught me out there. He helped me let go of expectations and stop chasing specific sights. By learning to accept nature’s own rhythm, every unexpected wildlife encounter became a truly breathtaking surprise. His efforts made us feel so safe and well cared for.
We also want to thank Maria for her patient communication before the trip. On our first night, our flight was delayed, and we then got stuck in a terrible traffic jam with no phone signal. Our driver waited for us for such a long time, and Maria went out of her way to keep in touch with him and our host. Thank you both for a beautiful journey that left us with such a warm feeling in our hearts.

A Memorable Safari with a Guide Who Truly Respects Wildlife
We had a truly special 7-day safari experience in Kenya with our guide, Sam. Boost Safari was amazing!
From the very beginning, Steve made us feel so welcome by giving us thoughtful gifts that I really needed for the trip: a safari hat and a beautiful Maasai blanket. Such a lovely and thoughtful gesture!
Both Steve and Sam were professional, kind, and genuinely caring. Although we experienced some vehicle problems during the trip, they responded quickly and did their best to resolve the issues. I really appreciated their positive attitude and commitment to making sure we had a great experience.
Sam is an excellent guide with extensive knowledge of wildlife. He knew how to help us spot so many different animals while also respecting their natural behaviour and giving them space. This was especially meaningful to me. A safari should not just be about spotting as many animals as possible, but also about appreciating nature and respecting wildlife without disturbing them unnecessarily. We should observe nature with kindness and curiosity, rather than behave like predators chasing their prey.
We spent 7 days and 6 nights in Kenya, staying at three tented camps, and all of them were comfortable. Our first three nights at Mtito Safari Camp in the Maasai Mara were particularly wonderful and made our experience even more memorable.
Thank you, Steve, Sam, and the whole Boost Safari team, for making this trip so special. I would happily recommend Boost Safari to anyone looking for a memorable safari experience in Kenya!

An Amazing 8-Day Kenya Safari with Hallmark Travel Planners
We chose Hallmark Travel Planners for a 8-day Kenya Safari. We started with Amboseli National Park from Nairobi. The next morning wewoke up in the morning, we saw the largest herd of elephants ever. Steve, our driver- guide took us very close, but kept a safe distance. The next day we went to Lakr Naivasha. I will never forget about the boat ride to crescent Island and the walking safari. Priceless. Then on to Masai Mara. On our first morning game drives there we saw a family of lions, one large male, several females and baby lions. That was amazing. We can't even remember the number of giraffes and zebras we saw during the safari.
Accommodations were clean and comfortable. The food was top bladd and delicious. Lewis supervised everything from start to finish. Our driver- guide was very friendly and helpful. The entire trip went smoothly. I would definitely recommend Hallmark to those who want to go on a safari in Kenya for the first time.

A Little Scattered
My partner and I did a 2 night safari to Amboseli National Park in Kenya. The park is amazing and would highly recommend!
The issue we had was around the miscommunication we had with the tour operators and feeling like we were constantly waiting. The tour we paid for included a morning pickup on the first day in Nairobi and a game drive that day. However, we were left waiting to be picked up and the time kept being pushed back. We didn't end up getting picked up until the afternoon by a driver and then we had to wait for the guide. We finally got to our safari camp after dark, and did not do a game drive.
The next morning we got into the park much later than we were told. For some of it we were even waiting at the park entrance and our guide was standing around talking to people.
The next morning we also left later than expected and missed sunrise in the park. We also had to pickup other people from the group from another hotel and ended up waiting for them for a while. This meant we barely got a game drive the second day, and needed to join another tour to leave the park. This really cut into our time when we only had 2 days.
Our guide was a little slow getting things moving but when in the park he was searching for animals and even tried rushing across the park for an lion sighting.
Our primary issues were the tour being different than the itinerary we were quoted for, and multiple people having different interaries, which led to too much logistics planning. If you are to go with this tour group I would recommend confirming the tour you are quoted for is what you are doing, and seeing if you will be moving around to different vehicles throughout the tour, which reduces time on game drives. Also, when bringing up these issues to our point of contact over WhatsApp, we were ignored.
Amboseli Park is amazing though and i would highly recommend going there to see all of the elephants and views of Mount Kilmanjaro. The game drives were really good once we got going. There is so much wildlife to see all across the park. Also, the Osutua Rafiki Camp was really nice! It exceeded our expectations and would stay there again!
