Perfect organised and nice people
I send in the evening an request for the next day. They directly contacted me and I was able to join the Safari next day. I did a daytrip Safari.
The Safari itself was very good organised from the pick up at the hotel, the lunchbreak and also the when they dropped me at the hotel in the evening. Nice people very friendly. We have seen a lot of animals and our guide was very passioned to explain and show us the National park.
Nothing to complain - Can strongly recommend the company!

Denis Koome was fantastic in every way, especially finding all the animals we wanted to see.
Kenya has a gigantic national wildlife park named Masia Mara, which joins with the Serengeti of Tanzanian. We went there expecting to see our common zoo animals living in the wild, a few here, a few there, and just hoping to see one of the special animals like a big cat.
Wow were we blown away! Yes African habitat has been shrinking, but where protected from humans, the animals exist in the tens and even hundreds of thousands! We couldn’t believe how many, and they looked beautiful, strong and healthy. Dennis Koome our driver / guide knew where to find the animals and got us very close to them, even the lions, cheetahs, and leopards.
It was a fantastic once in a lifetime adventure. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Perfect safari
We had an amazing safari with Widman Tours. There were some very last minute changes fom our side, but they responded quickly to our messages and made requested adjustments. Communication was smooth from the beginning to the end.
The value for money was great. We saw all imaginable animals and even spent some extra time at the national park, which was wonderful.
Overall, very reliable and professional tour operator. Couldn't have asked for more perfect safari experience. We highly recommend Widman Tours & Safaris!

Great value for the money
We did the mid-level accommodations (Jambo Mara Safari Lodge) for 2 days / 1 night and upgraded from a shared group tour to a private tour for $100 US, which was very worth it. On the group tour you depart Nairobi at 9am and begin your return at 9am from Masai, only getting 2-3 hours of game drive per day. For the private tour, we left Nairobi at 6am and departed Maasai at 11am, meaning we got 5-6 hours of game drive the first day and 4 hours the second day. Additionally, we were a group of two, so the vehicle was much more comfortable with the extra space and ability to move around. We were often the first people to find cheetahs and lions, so he would call other guides to let them know where to go.
Suggestions to others booking:
1) When coordinating the trip with Karibu Safaris, use whatsapp. They were quicker to respond there.
2) Ask for the driver's number upon confirming your booking so you can communicate during pickup. We were expecting a 6am pickup but the driver arrived around 6:20am.
3) Bring snacks. We did that and it was important since lunch often doesn't happen until 1-2pm.
4) Ask to stop somewhere for lunch on the return drive. We were given a pre-packaged lunch of a basic sandwich and fruit, which wasn't great. All other meals were good, but lunch during the return was below average.
5) Bring some warm clothes as it can get chilly in Maasai Mara at night/morning, as well as in the vehicle when the wind is rushing in.

Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru adventure
This was an amazing experience. We could not find a better Safari compared to the price. Jimmy was a great guide and was a pleasure to be around. We strongly recommend spending some time at the Masai Village at the Masai Mara as well.
Pros: Good price, on point pickup and drop off, great game drive program.
Cons: Food was of low quality.
We feel we saw everything that you need to see of safaris in Kenya - so dont hesitate to book.
