Trip of a lifetime! Frederick was fantastic and we had the most amazing honeymoon
My husband and I booked Fede tours for our honeymoon. Martin was fantastic and very helpful and responsive when replying, we ended up extending one of the suggest itineraries to 7 days and booked fairly late. We chose 2 nights in Amboseli, 1 night in Naivasha, 2 nights in the Masai Mara and 1 night in Lake Nakuru.
Frederick picked us up in the jeep from our hotel and was full of energy and enthusiasm. He was our guide for the whole week, and made sure we were completely relaxed and looked after for the whole time.
Frederick was absolutely fantastic- he was incredibly knowledgeable about the animals and habitats (and my background is a degree in Biology). He was always checking in with us to see how long we wanted the game drive for and made sure we were always comfortable. We saw so many incredible animals - the big 5 and I now have life long memories of watching 2 male lions eating and drinking from the watering hole, watching a heard of elephants with the little babies playing, seeing a mother and baby rhino at sunrise, watching 2 cheetahs walk along side the jeep as well as seeing a beautiful leopard just lounging in a tree.
It was also really interesting to learn about the history and culture of Kenya from Frederick.
All of the accommodation was really clean, wonderful views and all had excellent food. We were very well looked after everywhere we went- lots of beautiful petals on the bed etc.
The highlight was a beautiful surprise breakfast sunrise picnic overlooking Lake Nakuru on the last day all arranged by Frederick.
I would highly recommend Fede tours to anyone considering a safari to Kenya - I would also personally recommend Frederick. He also leant us his DSLR camera (we just had phones) so we now have professional level photographs to remember our trip of a life time!
We spent a little bit of time comparing different Safari deals ahead of our trip, and Fede tours excelled on both being good value and having good reviews (definitely get a jeep, so much easier to get around quickly and a lot more comfortable especially if you are prone to travel sickness!) they exceeded all our expectations and I look forward to travelling with them again for our anniversary’s. Everything was included in the trip (water, food, even lunch at Carnivore on the last day).

Spectacular Holiday
I booked my trip in 2020 so my plans were severely disrupted for 2 years. We finally fulfilled out trip in October 2022. Wayfairer Travel have been communicative, responsive and supportive, not only throughout the uncertain period of the pandemic but also all the way through out trip until we got back home. They worked with our budgets and even went extra mile to customise out trip according to our wishes. I'd highly recommend Wayfairer Travel.

Perfection safari, stewardship and guide at the top
Super organization, our guide who spoke French had a perfect knowledge of the country, very pleasant, always well placed to see a maximum of animals. The logistics are also excellent, comfortable vehicle, a chef accompanied us during the 7 days and prepared all the meals, delicious! With more wines, beers and other drinks at will!
The lodges were correct, with the possibility of upgrading with a supplement, really perfect. Thanks

Incredible experience, well worthy of a honeymoon!
We went on a 7 day safari with Frederick, organised by Martin - both are wonderful humans. Frederick spent 7 days with us and has such a passion for life that it's infectious. I don't think we stopped smiling all trip!
We started with 2 days in Amboseli, 1 in lake Naivasha, 2 in Masai Mara and then our final day / night was in Lake Nakuru.
It was honestly the most incredible experience - we saw more animals than we could have imagined, but what made it extra special was that Frederick always had the welfare of the animals in mind; he would avoid crowing in with other jeeps and often take alternate routes to ensure the experience felt more unique and was better for the wildlife.
100% would recommend to anyone who wanted to go on safari - not just "you should go on safari" or "this is a good itinerary", but "if you go on safari with Fede Tours with Frederick as your driver, your experience will be incredible".
Accomodation amazing in all 4 places, food was excellent with a lot of choice, and 7 days was exactly the right amount of time. Would recommend the jeep over the van as it gives you more mobility in the parks and a nicer ride - well worth it given the amount of time you spend in the vehicle. 10/10 would recommend.

Honeymoon in Kenya
My husband and i booked our honeymoon with Martin for 7 days and i do not have words to express how amazing it was. Everything was super smooth from the pick up at the airport to the drop off (even though we were travelling through 2 different airlines at 2 different times! The hotels Martin selected were perfect. They were central and very very clean, not to mention the food was amazing. Our tour guide and driver was John and i must say he was a real expert. He knew exactly where to take us to see the wild life and he recommended an amazing walking safari at Lake Naivisha as well and we were oh so close to the wildlife. John was always on time and made sure we were comfortable once we checked in our tents/hotels as well. The highlight of our trip was a picnic/lunch that John arranged at Maasai Mara under the most beautiful tree and with the most beautiful view. And finally, John was very knowledgeable about the animals and we learnt so much!

Fantastic!
We had an amazing trip with Royal Private Safaris! We got excellent advice on where to visit and what time of year, and after those decisions were made, Royal Private Safari handled everything! It was an amazing trip that was well planned and organized, with incredibly knowledgeable guides, and fantastic lodges. I can't recommend this company enough! Bravo!

Great product knowledge!
This was an impromptu trip.The wedding plans were getting overwhelming and I needed a break so here we (me and my fiancé) were at the breathtaking Cliff Nakuru. We'd met Kymmie, a staff at smart Voyage during a golf tournament. Exchanged contacts decided to give her business. We made the right choice I must say.This place was magical. Each tent is built at the edge of the cliff facing the lake.The cliff is only 2 and a half hours from Nairobi making it very convenient. The Landcruiser was so comfortable we were barely tired. For this trip I only wanted relaxing activities and Kymmie made sure that was exactly what was on our itinerary. Would highly recommend the spa! The rooms were unsurpassed. From the equipment to the bathtub to the view! The overall ambience was outstanding. Loved this experience. Smart Voyage is planning our honeymoon as we speak. Great job !

The tour operator was awesome.
We picked Ndurumo Tours online not knowing anyone. We communicated with one Mr. Joseph who was fantastic. He helped us to plan the tour which we did a 7 days. Communication was great all our questions were answered promptly. The service was good and worth the price. From Pickup to and from the Airport, The tour itself was wonderful and adventurous. The driver we got was very nice and very informative. I would like to recommend Crinton and Jacob as a great drivers and Tour guide. Ndurumo met all our needs during the tour. Will recommend to friends and family.
