I'm very happy with the service they gave me: They were efficient, helpful, reliable, and curteous.
I cannot recommend Mark and his team, particularly our wonderful guides, Eric and Julius, more highly. Mark managed to organize what was my very complicated schedule involving lots of changes and last minute adjustments. He knew his stuff, came up with suggestions, and made me feel very comfortable. After staying with friends in Watamu and going on a four night safari in East and West Tsavo, I traveled alone to the Masai Mara for a safari, and ended up having a great time with the knowledgable guide Eric. I was also made to feel very welcome at the Sekenani safari lodge. He also came up with a great hotel for my last night in Nairobi. Job well done!

Excellent safari experience with very passionate guide
We did a 4-day safari with Lion king. We were 3 friends and this was our first safari experience. Lion king has been very responsive and professional from the very first moment providing us with different options that fit our specific circumstances. Our guide Mwita has been absolutely amazing. He is extremely passionate about his job and possesses in-depth knowledge and experience on wildlife. He is very friendly and managed to connect with us pretty nicely in a very short time frame. His driving was very careful. The overall experience was of really high quality and also very good value for money. Definitely recommended!

"Fantastic , highly recommended"
This was the trip of a lifetime and it owe it to this company. I did a solo trip- 7 day safari in Kenya. I did my first day touring the city of Nairobi with Moses. We went to the Elephant Orphanage and Giraffe Sanctuary.Then off to my safari with Joseph which entailed a couple days in Samburu, A day in Lake Nakuru, a day in Sweetwater seeing the park and chimpanzee rescue center, , and then onto the Masai Mara for a couple days. All accommodations were 3 star of higher and I liked each place I stayed at. The food was great at each lodge/camp as well. Safari van was perfect for viewing and always keep clean each day for perfect viewing and Joseph made sure I saw every single animal I wanted to see and knew exactly how to make that happen. He was always prompt each morning when we would meet before we headed out on safari for the day. He was very knowledgeable about all the animals and polite the entire trip. If I return for a safari ever in Kenya then I would definitely request him to be my safari guide again. The road trip between each park was about a 5 hr drive each time and I actually liked that because it gave me an opportunity to really see the country of Kenya and how all the different villages live. If I had questions along the way about the different tribes Joseph had an answer and I liked that too. Covid testing before my departure was super easy as well at the last lodge I stayed at for my stay the covid testing company had someone come to my lodge to take my sample and within 1 day had my test results emailed to me and the lodge printed it out for me so I could have it for my flight departure.
I loved seeing the Big 5 and the entire experience of the safari but I have to say the part of my trip that has stuck with me and really made it a life changing trip was my visit to the JudiMo Education Center in one of the slums in Nairobi to visit the children of the school. It was my last day on the trip before I got dropped off at the airport. My flight didn’t leave until midnight that night so in the morning Joseph and I left the Mara park early, did a little bit of looking for animals on our way out of the park then drove to the school for the afternoon to see the children. Ben and James set this all up for me and I’m so grateful they ware able to do it for me. Joseph helped me buy a bunch of food for the 120 kids we were visiting and I got to spend 3 hrs with them before Joseph dropped me off at the airport.
I would highly recommend Twinkle star tours and safaris to anyone looking to go on safari. From day one when I inquired James was super helpful in answering all my questions and setting my itinerary up. Great customer service on his part, from Moses, and from James. Thank you, Twinkle star tours for the trip of a lifetime

This was an incredible safari with a very friendly and experienced guide.
I highly recommend Wildlife Safaris! I have done safaris in five countries, and Kruger Park with Wildlife Safaris tops them all! We saw the Big Five, and with an experienced and friendly guide (Hoppy), we will remember our experience forever.

desires well catered + all expectations exceeded
Lion King elevated our first safari experience and made it the way it should be - unforgettable for all the right reasons.
Arrangements and communication pre-arrival were just so effortless and always fast (Nickson, Anna), but Mwita -our guide who spent every day with us- just stole the saw. He was clearly passionate and knowledgeable about nature and animals, while a pleasant and cheerful, kind person to spend time with. Mwita always had answers to our questions, solutions to our requests, patience and energy with our group despite his hard work.
Thanks so much!!

3 Days Safari - Ngorongoro crater & Serengeti
I booked a 3-day camping safari with Sky View Adventures and it was really excellent. Everything was well organized and Deo, our guide, was so nice and helpful. He knew so much about the animals and the places and could tell us about everything. The communication was really easy via WhatsApp and Paulo was always available if you had any questions. The food was excellent and we got something different every day. I can really recommend Sky View Adventure.

Exceptional
For over a year I’ve been planning my trip to Kenya and Kennedy have worked with me tirelessly and effortlessly to ensure I had an amazing time. Kennedy was always there to answer any questions I need no matter what time of the day it was. He went above and beyond in ensuring I had all the proper details. Communication was by far the best I’ve ever experienced with any agency. Time management was even more impeccable. Kennedy and his team was always early not once have we had to wait for them. Professionalism was superb. One of my group member forgot something at the camp and Kennedy ensure it was retrieved and handed to us before we depart Kenya. That act of generosity spoke volume and for that I look forward in doing future tours with company. Our Driver John was an amazing tour guide he ensure we had the best experience on our game. He was extremely knowledgeable and fun. They made us felt not like a business transaction but most importantly A FAMILY.

Fantastic safari that clearly supported the local community, and didn’t feel budget at all!
Booking with axis safari was so smooth, as I was in continuous contact with Lennox via email prior to the trip. You can pay in USD cash when you arrive, which we did, and only gave a small deposit up front.
Axis picked us up on time from our hotel in Nairobi and dropped us back there at the end of the 5-day trip, which was ideal as we were exhausted!
Our tour guide was Richard, and he was incredible. Incredibly knowledgable and we had seen the big 5 by day 2! He had a good knowledge of all animals/birds/trees and we became good friends! He took loads of photos for us throughout.
The accommodation varied from camping in the Maasai village (posh camping with 4-poster beds) to budget hotels with swimming pools and nice restaurants. It felt great to be supporting the locals throughout the trip, and I really felt that the money we paid was going to people that needed it most.
Value for money was excellent, with all meals included (definitely got enough food!). Whilst there is lots of travelling, this is a fantastic way to see rural Kenya.
We had a fantastic time and will definitely be recommending to both family and friends!
