Absolutely Amazing Safari Experience!
We did a 7-day safari with Pavillion Safaris visiting Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, and Amboseli, and it was the best vacation we’ve ever taken! Peter made everything effortless!
Willson, our driver-guide was patient, knowledgeable, and fantastic with our family, keeping everyone engaged and pointing out animals at every stop. He was also super punctual and made sure to always give us the plan for next day so we can prepare.
The trip plan was a great mix of game drives and rest afternoons so we didn't feel too tired and had the time to rest. The accommodations were great, and we felt well-cared for the entire week. Watching the wild animals together created memories our family will treasure forever. We couldn't have asked for a better experience!

Helps make sure we see all the animals possible
We had an amazing safari with Morning Star Tours & Travel, and Gabu made the experience unforgettable.
Everything was super smooth from start to finish. Gabu kept the car clean every day, always made sure we had plenty of water, and took care of all the little details so we could just relax and enjoy the trip. He was patient, friendly, and always happy to stop for photos or spend more time watching the animals.
The wildlife was incredible — we saw the Big Five, the Ugly Five, cheetahs, elephants with babies, lions, leopards, rhinos, and so much more. Gabu was really good at spotting animals and knowing where to go, and we ended up with some amazing sightings and photos.
More than anything, he was just really fun to spend time with. After so many hours together in the safari vehicle, it honestly felt more like traveling with a friend than just having a guide.
We would absolutely recommend Morning Star and Gabu to anyone planning a safari in Kenya. Such a memorable trip!

Excellent Tour Operator for a Nairobi Day Trip
We had such a wonderful experience with White Horse Safaris! They took us on a day trip to Nairobi National Park and the Giraffe Centre, and everything was organized smoothly from start to finish. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the experience even more enjoyable by sharing interesting information about the animals, the park, and Nairobi.
Nairobi National Park was an amazing experience, and visiting the Giraffe Centre was definitely a highlight of the day. White Horse Safaris made it easy to fit both attractions into one day without feeling rushed. We really appreciated their professionalism, communication, and attention to making sure we had a great time.
I would definitely recommend White Horse Safaris to anyone looking for a reliable and enjoyable tour operator in Nairobi. We had an unforgettable day and would happily book with them again!

Made Our Trip Truly Special ❤️
Our experience with White Horse Safaris was truly wonderful. From the very beginning, they made us feel comfortable and well taken care of. Traveling with family can sometimes be stressful, but everything was handled so smoothly that we were able to relax and actually enjoy our trip.
What I appreciated most was how attentive and helpful the team was throughout our journey. They were always available when we needed them and made sure everything was arranged properly. You could really tell that they cared about making our experience special, not just completing a booking.
We came back with so many beautiful memories, and I’m genuinely grateful to White Horse Safaris for helping make our trip such a memorable one. I would definitely recommend them to family and friends and would happily use them again for our future travels. ❤️

Trip of a lifetime!
I highly recommend Nalange Mobile Safaris for your African/Botswana safari. We had a wonderful experience with owner/guide, Tebla and his crew, chef Penyo and all rounder, Mike. Our 16-day curated safari included 5 different camps from the northern Kalahari, a waterfront Okavango Delta concession, Moremi National Park, Mababe Lodge and finally the magnificent Savuti in the southern section of Chobe National Park. Each offered a different type of landscape and experience but in all Tebla led us to exciting viewings of all the animals on our wishlist and more including leopards, wild dogs, hyenas, lions, cheetahs, elephants, hippos, zebras, giraffes, oryx, warthogs and several different types of antelopes including springbok, impala, steenbok, kudu, eland and other rare sightings. Plus a myriad of birds! Tebla has a wealth of knowledge in tracking, animal behaviour and, of course, identification. This knowledge, combined with an impeccable eye for the best photograhic angle and light, translated to a myriad of animal and bird sightings and a photographic feast.
Our camps were basic, glamping style in magnificent settings. The food was exceptional with a menu designed by chef Ruth, (Tebla’s wife and co-owner) expertly cooked over a campfire by the ever-smiling Penyo. Veggies and fruit; delicious desserts; local and international dishes for mains; salads or hot dishes for lunches in camp. Coffee/tea and cold drinks, naturally, sundowners to round out the day by our camp fire under the setting sun.
Our days fell into a rhythm of morning and late afternoon game drives with each drive revealing something new and interesting. The open safari truck was tiered for optimum viewing for everyone with the chill of cold mornings warmed by our fleece-lined ponchos - just one of the thoughtful extras that Tebla and Ruth provide that takes this company above its rivals.
Tebla is kind and considerate with a great sense of humour and a drive to try and give you a safari with everything you could wish for. Safety of course is a priority and we were given detailed briefings and reminders of appropriate behaviour around wildlife. Although at times only a metre away from lions or other big game, I always felt safe under Tebla’s guidance.
Organisation was seamless with arrangements made through Ruth, smooth with any questions answered quickly.

Provided the best tour guide and great food
Kida was always responsive and took good care of us. The safari package was very good value for money. Food provided on our safari was excellent; not individually boxed as the norm for other agencies. We always had 3 courses.
The 'star of the show' was our incredible guide 'Meku.' He worked hard to make sure we had the best experience and rewarded us with seeing all 5 big cats ... on our first safari!

the best tour ever
We had a great experience in Kenya thanks to Like a Local Safaris and HIGHLY recommend them to everyone!!! :) Maurice was communicative, welcoming, and willing to accommodate our last-minute requests, including finding us a hotel room and taking care of our luggage.
Borni-Borni was knowledgeable and experienced. He went extra lengths to help us spot some rare animals during the safari:
[I would have inserted a cheetah photo here but I cannot seem to link a picture for some reason]
We did have one unfortunate situation happen. When coming back from Masai Mara, our car had an issue, and we had to wait for about 4 hours in a shop in the middle of the road. Eventually we were picked up by Culture, but in the end our bike ride in Hell’s Gate was significantly shorted than what was planned; we only had about 1h there. Although this was unfortunate, this was completely out of everyone's control, and Maurice was very communicative and quick to help find us a new car to continue on our journey so hats off to him!
Culture was a wonderful host while we were in Lake Naivasha. He drives a cool car.
Overall, we had a wonderful time, and we hope everyone at Like a Local Safaris thinks of us as fondly as we think of them. 💕🫶🥰

An exciting and action-packed trip
We did 8 days safari and visited Masai Mara , lake Nakuru,lake Naivasha , Amboseli, Tsavo West and Tsavo East
We had an incredible safari experience! Thanks to such an extensive and enriching program, we spotted the Big Five, learned so much about the animals and birds, and got a real feel for the unique features of all Kenya’s major parks.
Our guide Glenn was absolutely amazing and highly professional. He explained us a lot about the animals and especially about the birds, as Glenn is absolutely passionate about them (he knew the name of every single bird species we encountered).
He navigated the parks perfectly and did everything possible to help us find the animals.
When it comes to Masai Mara, he knows it inside out (which is so crucial for a guide!).
On top of that, he is an excellent driver, we felt completely safe on some very rough and difficult roads.
Also I want to say a huge thank you to Paul, our organizer! He was always in touch, answered all our questions, and managed to quickly reschedule our safari dates when our flight to Nairobi was delayed by two days.
I highly recommend Africa Starpal as your tour operator, you will definitely get great value for money.

Amazing Animal Spotters!
Ian and David were our drivers for our trip and they do such a great job with pointing out the animals without binoculars! They have eyes for detail and have a good understanding of the terrains! We managed to catch the BIG 5 on our 1st trip!
