They are professional, reliable, and friendly team that makes exploring park in the city enjoyable
If you’re in Nairobi for a conference and only have one free day, I highly recommend booking with the Constance Adventure Tours team. I chose their one-day Nairobi National Park tour, and it was an unforgettable experience. The coordination was seamless, they picked me up from Limuru early enough to catch the magical sunrise, which made spotting the animals even more breathtaking. Nairobi National Park is famous for being the only national park in the world right next to a capital city, and seeing giraffes and rhinos with the Nairobi skyline in the background was truly surreal.

Review for Super Eagles Travel and Tours
Although we had some initial conflict around the pricing breakdown, I appreciate the open communication throughout the process. Both Michuki and John were professional and responsive, and I felt heard even when we had to clarify some details.
John was our guide and did an excellent job. Thanks to him, we were able to spot four out of the Big Five — elephants, African buffalo, rhinoceros, and lions. It was an incredible experience.
The Nairobi National Park itself is a gem — clean, beautiful, and surprisingly wild despite being so close to the city. It truly feels like you're in the heart of nature.
Overall, I recommend Super Eagles Travel and Tours for anyone planning a safari. Just make sure to confirm pricing clearly ahead of time, and you’ll be in good hands for the rest of the journey.

8 days Masai Mara/Nakuru/Navisha/Amboseli
The JungleRoam safari was good value for money. Seeing the animals in their natural habitat was spectacular, making it worth the long drive.
Our driver and guide, Albert, did everything possible to ensure we saw all the animals in the different parks and reserves. This allowed us to see all the Big 5. However, we missed Albert's ability to be more communicative, as he often gave limited information about the animals. His driving skills were excellent despite the poor road conditions, heavy truck traffic, and frequent phone calls.
The SUV was an 8-seater Toyota Land Cruiser, similar to most other companies. It's worth noting that several seats in the car had broken seatbelts, and despite our reporting and requesting that they be fixed, as we had long drives on roads and tracks ahead of us, we were ignored.
We also hired a Spanish-speaking guide named Moses, who served as our co-pilot, to give us interesting information about the animals. His treatment was friendly, and on the first day he accompanied us to the bank to withdraw money and shared his mobile internet connection with us. His Spanish level was adequate, although he probably needs to continue improving his understanding of conversations, as he often resorted to saying "Yes, yes" when he didn't understand. We felt that on several occasions communication failed, either by giving us incorrect information or by not providing it regarding important logistical aspects. Furthermore, we had the feeling that he simply translated what Albert was saying, and we were constantly having to ask him questions.
We upgraded our Masai Mara hotel (Jambo Mara Safari Lodge), a fact we appreciated when comparing it to other travelers' basic camps. We noticed improvements in the room, hot water, and especially in the restaurant, which had a wide variety (it was the best of the entire trip), although the food boxes for the excursions were scarce and even worse than those in the basic accommodations. We chose the basic hotels for the rest of the hotels, and they met our expectations. Although the meals were repetitive and basic, we assume this is a common occurrence given the low prices.

Pedaso safaris is a good company, responsive and they try to help as much as they can
I booked a 9 days budget safari kenya+tanzania the last week of September. David replied every question I asked before booking. He was very responsive and offered his help for everything. I am very grateful but after doing the trip, I feel like he promised more than what he could afford to promise. Therefore, you need to watch out for yourself. This was regarding the back-office support. Regarding the trip: during the safari, you are on your own. The drivers will not help you and the tour operator cannot reach them (or at least in my case my drivers were never aware of the things David said he told them). The drivers and tour operator will always make sure you arrive to your destination, but that's it.
And you will really feel that this is a budget travel. In Kenya, in the car condition and the driver expertise. In Tanzania, in the accommodation. My personal advise is to not book Kenya+Tanzania; choose 1 country and do not cross the border.
Another fact is that the drivers do not follow the rules of the reserves, they drive fast and approach the animals extremely close, disturbing them. I saw sad situations in all the reserves, so if you are concerned about animal welfare, you should not do a safari at all. All the cars behave the same way.

Good safari experience - with room for improvements
Overall, the safari was good, the staff were friendly, and the company is trustworthy. What surprised us was that no guide was included, even though we expected one based on information from others who had traveled with this company. Shortly before the trip, we asked whether a dedicated guide would travel with us and were assured that the driver alone would be sufficient. In my opinion, it wasn't. Don't get me wrong: our driver was excellent—agile, well-oriented, always getting us to the right spot at the right time—but since he was focused on driving, we had to look up information about the animals, nature, and parks ourselves.
That said, we still had plenty of breathtaking moments. The vehicle was reliable and did the job, even if not the most modern we saw during our safari. I would also suggest ensuring that the safari plan is prepared in detail and closely followed, as this helps to avoid missing important landmarks.
In general, I can recommend the company.

An unforgettable adventure of a life time
My wife and I just finished a 10-day private safari in Kenya - and were stunned by the amazing diversity of the animals and beauty of the various national parks. Dennis was our tour consultant and we selected Morningstar based upon the prompt and detailed price quotations he provided and the ratings on SafariBookings. He adjusted the itinerary based upon our selected parks, Nairobi - Amboseli - Naivasha - Ol Pejeta - Samburu - Nakuru - Masai Mara. Overall, the itinerary was organized very well, good accommodations and included airport transfers. Thanks Dennis.
As to the parks themselves, they were even better than our expectations. From the views of Mt Kilimanjaro, elephant herds of Amboseli, the beauty of Naivasha, special 5 of Samburu, flamingos of Nakuru to the unique vistas of Masai Mara with the big 5 - unforgettable moments.
James was our guide for the trip. He is very knowledgeable about all the parks and wildlife, highly skilled in spotting different animals, and turned out to be a photography enthusiast who offered to take photos with the long lens from driver seat. He surely has an eye for taking great photos and certainly helped capture some moments that otherwise would not have been possible. Thank you James.
We ended up giving 4 stars instead of 5 due to certain aspects that Dennis and James could have done better. Given the road conditions and traffic, anticipated transit times between parks was too optimistic, would have appreciated advice to reduce some parks. James should have checked that the Land Cruiser sliding windows could be easily opened and showed us how to operate them on day 1 so that photos could have been taken easily without having to climb up on seats and take from the open top only. He should also have been punctual on pickups, not spend inordinate amount of time on phone during game drives and should have gotten our agreement to any changes to daily activities specified in the itinerary with us.
Overall, we had an unforgettable experience and would recommend Morningstar.

The adventure started from the airport
We had two drivers on account of one shuttle breaking down. Theodore our second driver rescued us and made up some of that lost time. Ride was generally comfortable and the free wifi is a plus
