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!

comfortable and enjoyable experience.
Overall, we had a great experience. Our driver and guide were both very friendly and helpful, and they were basically always willing to accommodate our requests.
We were also pretty lucky with the wildlife sightings. We got to see the wildebeest crossing the river three times, as well as several incredible scenes of different animals feeding on a kill. Unfortunately, we didn’t get to witness an actual hunt, but the experience was still amazing.
One practical tip: remember to bring a mask, and wear clothes that you don’t mind getting dirty. There can be a lot of dust during the safari, and some stains are really difficult to wash out!

Unforgettable Masai Mara Safari
Willy was an absolutely incredible guide for our Masai Mara trip! He is wonderfully warm, friendly, and super easy to communicate with, while maintaining the utmost professionalism in his work. On top of that, the price was very reasonable for the amazing quality of the safari. Thanks to his passion and dedication, we were able to spot so many animals and witness incredible wildlife moments. 3 nights were definitely not enough—we didn't want to leave!

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.

Unforgettable safari, thanks to Adam and Mac for their kindness, experience, and great care.
Our safari experience in Tanzania was absolutely unforgettable! Adam and Mac were outstanding guides—extremely kind, patient, experienced, and genuinely caring. They made us feel safe and protected at all times while sharing their incredible knowledge and love for the wildlife and nature.
We were amazed by the spectacular animals, breathtaking landscapes, incredible variety of wildlife, delicious food, and wonderful hotels. Being so close to the animals was truly magical and exceeded all our expectations.
A special thank you to Adam and Mac for making this journey such a memorable and extraordinary experience. Their professionalism, kindness, and dedication made all the difference. We highly recommend them and would choose them again without hesitation!

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. 💕🫶🥰
