Simply would not use any other operator
Trying to organize a Safari is quite stressful because there is so much information available. I spent approximately 2 months trying to digest all the information, since the agency you use could literally make or break your experience, and at the end we decided to go with Sunworld Safaris and it was the best decision we could've made.
From the moment I started engaging with Sonal there was immediate trust. She understood the brief and was extremely proactive and accommodating throughout the process. At no point was there unnecessary up selling and she stuck to the budget, and even made some good suggestions to help us maximize our time.
There are a lot of moving pieces, especially when you're trying to organise a 3 x Camp Safari (Ol Pejeta, Lake Naivasha and Maasai Mara) involving 2 x adults and 3 kids, but Sonal is all over the details and will keep you in check if you haven't provided the necessary information. They even provide you a detailed itinerary via an App and Website so you can clearly review your itinerary before and during the Safari.
Our guide, Obadiah Muraya, was the best! When you spend over a week with a guide you want to make sure they are not only good at their job but also have a personality that will allow you to be comfortable with them. Obadiah ticked all the boxes! He was extremely knowledgeable (we ticked off the Big 5 within the first few days and even saw a kill!), accommodating to our requests and a highly skilled photographer (and laughed at my silly jokes...he has an infectious laugh!). He is a friend for life and will only use him for future Safari's.
Thank you Sunworld Safari's for bringing our trip of a lifetime to life. People say Africa hits you differently and they were not wrong. You have provided us with a lifetime of stories and happy memories, and for that we can't thank you enough.

An Amazing Unforgettable Experience
Peter and Axis Safari provided an amazing unforgettable experience. The booking was easy to make through Philip on WhatsApp and he answered all my questions and was available at all times. Even though we were delayed on first day due to traffic, Peter reorganised the schedule and was flexible to any requests at all times. We managed to see 3 of the big five and all the ugly five, and visited the masaii village. Peter got us close to the animals and was really good at explaining everything. My stay at flair village surpassed expectations, with great food and accommodation and friendly masaii staff.

Great 5-Day Safari Experience with Sarpal
We recently returned from a 5-day safari in Kenya organized by Sarpal, and we are very happy with the experience. As a couple, we were looking for an adventure that combined comfort, efficiency, and authenticity—and Sarpal delivered on all fronts.
From the moment we were picked up, everything was well-coordinated. Our guide, Morris, was exceptional. He was not only professional and punctual but also incredibly knowledgeable about the wildlife, parks, and Kenyan culture. His passion for nature was evident, and he made every effort to ensure we had the best sightings and a smooth, safe journey.
The itinerary covered three major parks—Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Amboseli—within five days. While that meant long drives, the van provided was very comfortable and well-equipped for the terrain, with large windows perfect for game viewing and photography.
The lodges we stayed in were clean, comfortable, and beautifully located, often with views that made you feel immersed in nature. What stood out the most was the hospitality—everywhere we stayed, the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome.
We were fortunate to witness a wide variety of wildlife, (unfortunately, we missed the leopard) and many unforgettable scenes.
Sarpal offered great value for money. The experience felt luxurious without being overpriced, making it accessible without sacrificing quality.

Exceptional safari tour operator offering a first class service for a once in a lifetime experience.
The safari itself was beyond our expectations. Hussein was a great driver, guide and good company for the full 5 days of the safari. His knowledge on everything from the parks, the wildlife and the local community was great and made our safari very interesting and knowledgeable as well as exciting seeing all the animals. Our safari covered 4 national parks, Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti and Lake Manyara. We loved each of the parks individually as they are so different in terms of landscape, however our personal favourite was the Serengeti. We managed to see a lot of the wildlife and all but the leopard in terms of the Big 5. This wasn’t for the want of trying from Hussein, however. We expected to see various animals with the highlight being the lions. We must have seen between 20-30 lions which was incredible. Overall we could not recommend Serengeti Smile more as a company to provide a once in a lifetime safari. Big thanks in particular to Hussein for making our trip so special!

Reliable for personalized trips
We had a wonderful experience with Big Time Safari during our visit to Kenya. From the start, their team was professional, flexible, and attentive to our needs. Mr. John, the manager, was patient and responsive as we discussed and finalized our Masai Mara package. The guides, Geoffrey and Simon, were knowledgeable, courteous, and ensured our safety throughout the trip. Our game drives were fantastic- well-planned and rewarding, with sightings of the Big 5 and more. Big Time Safari’s willingness to accommodate last-minute changes, such as adding a visit to Lake Naivasha, reflected their commitment to client satisfaction. In addition to the safari, we relied on Big Time Safari for city tours and airport drop-offs during the rest of our Kenya stay, and those arrangements were equally smooth. Overall, Big Time Safari delivered a well-organized, seamless, and memorable experience. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a stress-free and enriching way to explore Kenya.

Rewarding trip, and I am so glad we booked with them.
My family and I were a bit skeptical about booking with ASO after being referred by a friend, but Wendy was really helpful and patient throughout the booking process,we even formed a WhatsApp group for easy and quick communication. She answered all our questions and made sure everything was planned well.
We visited Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Amboseli. Each place was beautiful and unique. Kudos to our driver-guide, Tonny too, he knew so much about the wildlife. It was such a rewarding trip, and I am so glad we booked with them.

Axis Safari delivers seamless, thrilling, and personalized wildlife adventures you’ll never forget.
Our recent safari with Axis Safari was nothing short of extraordinary. From the very beginning, everything was perfectly organized, comfortable, and tailored to give us the most immersive wildlife experience possible. But what truly made our trip unforgettable was our guide, Jack.
Jack was not only incredibly knowledgeable about the animals and ecosystems, but he also had an amazing eye for spotting wildlife. Thanks to him, we got to witness lions on a hunt, a graceful herd of elephants, rhinos grazing peacefully, and even a rare leopard sighting! Each moment came alive through Jack’s stories, insights, and deep respect for nature.

Unforgettable 6-Day Safari with Bobby Safari!
We had an amazing 6-day safari experience with Bobby Safari. Our guide, Godfrey, was incredibly knowledgeable and experienced — he always knew the best spots to find the animals, which gave us unforgettable memories and truly beautiful photos. His expertise made every game drive exciting and meaningful.
Our cook, Miraji, was also fantastic — kind, helpful, and dedicated. He woke up early every day to prepare breakfast, lunch, and dinner, even under challenging conditions like campsites without electricity or proper kitchen facilities. The food was always delicious, and we truly appreciated his hard work.
Bobby himself was kind, welcoming, and very supportive throughout the trip. When our flight to Arusha was canceled last minute and we had to fly to Kilimanjaro instead, he kindly arranged a return transfer from Kilimanjaro Airport — even though this wasn’t part of the original agreement. That thoughtful gesture meant a lot to us and really shows how much he cares about his guests.
We also want to highlight that Bobby gave us a great price — much more affordable than many other safari companies we checked — without compromising on quality. The service, guiding, and organization were all top-notch, and we felt we got excellent value for money.
👉 Important tip: Before your trip, make sure to go through the itinerary and package details with Bobby carefully. Confirm what’s included — especially in terms of accommodation (camp, lodge, hotel) and drinks (water, soft drinks, alcohol) — so expectations are clear from the beginning.
We highly recommend Bobby Safari to anyone looking for a memorable, well-organized, and personalized safari experience!
📝 Note on tipping: In our original offer, it was stated that tipping should be a minimum of $10 per person per day. However, we later learned that the common norm is closer to $15–20 per person per day. It's helpful to clarify this in advance so you can plan accordingly and show appreciation for the hardworking staff.
👉 For travelers from Norway: If you’re looking for a high-quality safari at a fair and reasonable price, we truly recommend Bobby Safari. You’ll be in good hands from start to finish!
