Excellent Nairobi tour with Safari Update Travels!
Safari Update Travels were able to help me get a group joining tour at the last minute on the night prior to. The tour of Nairobi was excellent. We saw a lot of animals including a pride of lions, warthogs, buffalos, cheetah's and zebras. Our guide Sam was the best, very experienced driver. He took us close to where the animals were so that we could get a glimpse of them. The staff at Safari Update Travels were very friendly and had excellent communication, special thanks to Linsel. Their rates are very competitive and they provide excellent services. Thank you for the experience!

Amazing Experience despite one thing
Jocky tours, Isaac and John allowed us to have a great experience in our first safari in Kenya. Isaac was really helpful during all our stay. Just to write down, that despite it was not fault of Jocky tours and Isaac, someone, during our stop to have lunch in our last day of the safari, stole one bag from one person of the group. Despite that, an amazing experience. Maybe, regarding Jocky Tours I would not include this restaurant for future tours, as may not be safe for tourists. Thanks again Isaac and Jocky Tours for the experience.

INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE!
We started our journey in Nairobi, since our flight arrived very early, Karibu safari helped us arranging a pick up service that took us to a place in which we could rest.
Once we started our safari, we met our driver Collins (Arooni) and headed to Masai Mara, his experience of +20 years in this field shows as we always had the best spots to see the animals, his ability to get through every obstacle on the road was amazing and we always felt safe (no reckless driving), we were very lucky to see a Leopard hunt in a crossing and many other situations we wouldn’t have seen if it weren’t for Collins skill and expertise.
Regarding the tented camps, you get a nice sleep every night because you’re drained from a whole day in a Safari, with people that are always taking care of you, in fact everyone in Kenya wants you to have a pleasant experience, they are very service oriented and happy to help you!
We saw 5 of the big five and much more that this beautiful country has to offer! We are very grateful with Karibu Safari and hope to comeback sometime, if you have the opportunity to go with Collins you won’t regret a second of it.

Half Day Tour of Nairobi National Park
Safari Update Travels has the best customer service and staff. They handled my enquiry very professionally hence I couldn't resist the package they offered me. James our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. He picked us up on time from our hotel to the park. We saw so many animals namely lions, hyenas, rhinos, secretary birds, and many more. Xavier who works with Safari Update Travels was so kind and flexible to meet our requests. My family and I had a great time in Nairobi National Park thanks to Safari Update Travels. Highly recommended!

Moses was a genuine, knowledgeable down to earth guide who we would happily hook up with again
We were picked up from the landing strip in the Masai Mara by Moses who was our guide for our full stay. After landed we were straight out on a game drive and somehow he manages to spot something in the distance, we have already found a lioness and 3 of her cubs for a close up encounter. First on sight we got some great close up footage of them post kill. Moses knowledge of the lands is incredible and any update comes over the radio he knows exactly where he is going and the routes to take. Was up at 3.30am with us for the early starts and very flexible with our requests. Will definitely be booking with the same operator and hoping to get Moses again when we return. Back again when hopefully more black rhino around to see

Amazing!!
Incredible safari, we had Aroni as a guide, he is the best, he has a lot of experience and he always made sure we had the best views of the animals.
Communication with roberts from the beginning was very helpful.
I recommend this operator and ask if Aroni can be your guide.

Highly customer focussed, brilliant knowledge, great attention to detail, excellent communication!
It's been a pleasure dealing with Sandra from start to finish - She understood exactly what we were looking for and went out of her way to ensure that the options she brought us were in line with our expectations.
When it came to value for money, having spoken to some other tour operators and compared the packages, it was clear that Traipsing Africa were able to provide high quality options at a very reasonable prices.
The communication from Sandra and the team was brilliant from start to finish, they are extremely customer focussed and this comes across in everything that they do... I would highly recommend and will happily be using them again for our next trip - 5 Stars.

Great views of Mt. Kilimanjaro at Amboseli park
This was my first time visiting Kenya on a trip to Amboseli where I stayed at a luxury camp called Kibo courtesy of Savannah Woods Safaris. I absolutely loved Kibo. They have amazing food and very comfortable accommodation. Our game drives were great with Peter as our guide. The weather seemed to work in our favour because we were able to see Mt. Kilimanjaro every single day and the scene was marvelous. The sky at night was also breathtaking and the best I’ve ever seen in Kenya. We visited a Maasai village nearby as well and got to learn more about their culture. I loved the entire experience. It was also the perfect time to spend at the park. I would highly recommend Savannah Woods Safaris for their top notch services.

Wonderful Safari trip!
We had an unforgettable 10-day private safari with Savannah Explorers. The whole booking process worked smoothly and the communication with Micky was always competent, fast and friendly. All our wishes were taken into account in the programme. During our trip we visited Arusha NP, Tarangire NP, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater, Central and Northern Serengeti and Lake Natron. The accommodations chosen were unique. The overnight stays in the tented camps in the wilderness of the Serengeti will always remain in our memories.
However, we would especially like to highlight the performance of our guide Ismail. He made the safari something very special for us. With a lot of love for his job and great experience, he brought us closer to the animal world of Africa, but also to the culture. Without him, we would not have seen so many animals at all. He unerringly took us to the most interesting places in the parks and made every day a special day!
We can highly recommend booking with Savannah Explorers!

Excellent and smooth trip
The experience was great and super smooth. Everything was very well organized! The team was super accommodating and responsive before and throughout the trip (Thank you Andre!). Our drivers (John and Alex) were very friendly and welcoming and had a lot of interesting information to share. The trip felt very safe and well designed and the chosen accommodations were amazing (Ziwa bush lodge in Lake Nakuru, Mara Sopa lodge in Masai Mara and Leopard resort in Diani beach). Only thing I would change is taking a flight from Nairobi to Masai mara because the roads are very bumpy.
