It was the best time of our lives on a tour
Victoria listened and understood what my husband and I hoped to experience on our first trip to Uganda. She always responded to our lengthy emails regarding the questions and was so patient even with our ever changing itinerary and wants. Her recommendations proved to be perfect and fit our budget. On tour, our guide Nixon was fantastic and took care of us throughout our stay. The lodges were lovely lodges with great service, the Land cruiser vehicle we used was clean and in good condition, amazing nature and wildlife especially the tree-climbing lions and gorillas were spectacular!!! Highly recommend this company and would use them again.

Safari Update Travels are the best!
Safari Update Travels are the best!
We highly enjoyed our 3 days and 2 nights luxury Safari. We weren’t into camping so we went with the option to stay at Sarova Mara Game Camp. The tour was well organized and accommodation was top notch. Our safari was in a heavy duty Jeep-like vehicle with a pop up top. It was much better compared to other vehicles we saw in the park. It came with free WiFi and electrical outlets for charging, which was greatly appreciated. The evening safari drive was one of the best highlights of the trip. The sunset was one to remember. The team at Safari Update Travels Helped us with every special request and they delivered excellently exceeding our expectations. We will definitely plan to book our next tour with them.. It was very easy to communicate with them and they responded quickly to all my questions. Special thanks to Linsel for making the safari a success. Thank you Safari Update Travels!! You are the best!

Breath Taking Experience
The ideal trip to Kenya is to make this a part of your itinerary. The experience was one of the most amazing I've been on in a while. Thanks to Silas who responded swiftly to our emails and helped us make our booking. Simon our safari guide was helpful and very knowledgeable throughout the journey. He knew the exact spots where to get the animals, he was very resourceful and made the whole safari worth it. From the animals to the views especially of Mt. Kilimanjaro was breathtaking. I highly recommend travelers who need to get excellent safari experience to book with Safari Update Travels.

Reaching the stars
We made a trip with 4 children, aged 2 years old to 13 years and it was the unforgettable trip of your lifetime!
The service staff was incredible, Fidelice our driver was so knowledgeable, kind and attention towards our needs. Food was excellent. The trip in itself was in a very nice car, comfortable. We all enjoyed it so much. Spotting the big 5', reaching the stars in our mind! All what we wanted! The emotional part of it, is when you realize that everything is perfect and it's holidays! Now looking for our next adventure with them to get the same thrill we got! The professionalism they all dedicated to make this trip incredible, is mind blowing. It was above all our expectations. People were genuinely nice and not pushy. Loved it :)

We went on a 3 day 2 night safari to Amboseli Park after booking with Safari Update Travels. It was a great experience. The staff were very friendly, the lodges were excellent and the safari was worth every penny. Thanks Safari updates.

Wild kingdom Safari!
I was excited when picked from the hotel in Nairobi. It was a solo trip so I was the only traveler on this excursion. Kudos to Safari Update Travels for honoring the booking - thank you! The driver Peter was excellent, the accommodation was way out of my expectations, the park was just brilliant. I selected this 2 day itinerary due to a very strict budget on my part - and it was definitely two days well spent - 3 days would have been better! Make your next booking with Safari Update Travels.

Reliable, knowledgeable, capable and affable!
I have had the good fortune of being guided and driven by George Mbaula of Inland Africa Explorers twice now, both times in the capacity of joint photography-expedition leader, and I can honestly say it’s hard to think of what could be better in their planning and service! They are simply the best people, totally in touch with the field realities, with years and years in the bush, to handle your dream Tanzanian vacation or photo tour in the Serengeti Ecosystem.
On both my visits I was assisted expertly by them to plan the itinerary to optimise our time in the various locations. All local bookings were made by them in perfect consonance with our needs, and there was absolutely no hassle or last-minute surprises. Right from meet-and-greet to the moment of departure, their naturalist team was the epitome of punctuality, cordiality and professionalism. And best of all, they have a clear understanding of a photographer’s needs, which are the most demanding of any visitor’s, because it means early starts, perfect vehicle positioning and long hours in the field, all of which George’s team carried out cheerfully, with never a no and always a smile on their lips. Their unending energy and enthusiasm to keep toiling all day for the benefit of their guests with unending patience is truly exemplary. What’s more, they’d even clean the safari vehicles at lunchtime, while the guests took a breather!
All this is topped by their intimate knowledge of the bush and its wildlife, and passion for showing it to tourists and saving it for posterity.
I could go on but in the interest of brevity, I will sign off by saying that some of my fondest days in Africa have been spent in Ndutu, being taken around by George and his team amid the animals you can be sure they love as much as I ever could, and unwinding in the evenings with a beer reflecting on what a wonderful world it indeed is.

Amazing wildlife experience
The park was extremely amazing, I saw a lot of wildlife, all of the Big 5 including two prides of lions. Our guide James was very knowledgeable about the animals, Amboseli park and Kenya at large which made the game drives interesting. He has a sharp eye that is why he was able to spot and point out so many different animals which made the safari even better. Linsel who works at Safari Update Travels was very resourceful in making my booking a success. The Amboseli Sopa Lodge was brilliant and ecofriendly - the staff were friendly and service was top notch, location was perfect, we ate our breakfast with breathtaking scenes of Kilimanjaro in the background! I highly recommend Safari Update Travels.

Game drive to remember!
My friends and I embarked on an adventure trip to Masai Mara with Simon as our tour guide under Safari Update Travels.
We started our journey to Masai Mara, camping at Enkorok Mara Camp we were welcomed with Maasai warriors "Morans". After checking in our rooms and refreshing ourselves we went for an evening game drive.
The site of the great tembo "elephant" welcomed us while driving. Immediately after we were able to see the tano bora "best five cheetahs" as they were pursuing their prey.
The drive ended later in the evening and we went back to our camp. The following day early in the morning we went back in search of the great simba "lion" luckily through the skilled efforts of our tour guide we were able to find a pride of lions. Simon is more than a common tour guide because we were able to get authentic safari experience and the best shots of the animals.
Masai Mara adventure is thrilling, wonderful views of the Mkapa hills and Sopa hills. In order to get a full experience of Masai Mara I advice to book with Safari Update Travels and if possible request for Simon as your tour guide.
