Best Safari Ever!
We have visited the Masai Mara, Nakuru and Naivasha reservations with them on a four day trip.
Jo and John were our tour guides, the bests we ever met.
Very helpful, taking us to the best spots to see the animals and with a large knowledge about the animals of Africa.

Good option for custom itineraries through Kenya
We (late 20s couple) typically never book with a tour company for our travel but since this was our first safari we decided to work with Kenan Travel to arrange a private tour. Our safari was 2 weeks through Kenya where we stayed at a wide range of properties from budget to mid range to luxury.
Pro:
- Jane was extremely flexible and worked with us so that we could have the exact itinerary we wanted. It was very easy to continue to make adjustments as we delayed the trip a year due to covid.
- Mike, our hiking guide for Mt Longonot, was absolutely fantastic and would highly recommend working with him for short hikes or longer trips.
- Vehicles were in good condition and prices were reasonable.
- The parks / reserves / conservancies we visited were of course amazing - the Naboisho Conservancy is not to be missed.
Con:
- Some small issues where Jane/Kenan Travel were not aware of some new policies / regulations:
- We stayed outside the park at Samburu and were not able to re-enter for a morning game drive on the day we were leaving, apparently this is a new policy
- We did not get a reservation for the elephant orphanage in Nairobi and couldn't visit
- Flamingo Hill Camp is "inside the park" at Lake Nakuru, but due to rising water the small section of the park with Flamingo Hill Camp is cut off from the rest of the park. The new park gate is a 40 minute drive away through the city and around the lake - it would have been good to know this ahead of time since it was quite inconvenient.
- our driver/guide for the main part of the trip, Simon, wasn't a great fit for us. He didn't realize it was our first safari until 3 days into the trip, and we typically got a late start on morning game drives. We had a different driver/guide for the last day of the trip at Nairobi National Park who was great, and the guides at Basecamp in Naboisho Conservancy were truly excellent.

Once in a lifetime trip with the best and customer focused operator.
Words can not describe how amazing this 11 day trip was for us. From day one contacting Lion King Adventures, to hearing back from Pendo on the details, there is not one thing that wasn't perfect and beyond any expectations we had. When we landed in Mt. Kilimanjaro the driver was waiting for us. The next morning we started our safari with our guide Good Luck, who turned out to be a very knowledgeable and compassionate person. We shared a memorable five days with him seeing some of the most beautiful and diverse landscapes in Africa, not to mention we saw the big five and so many more animals. I can not say how grateful we were to have picked this operator and had Good Luck for our trip! All the lodges we stayed at were fantastic and the food was very good! The people of Africa are amazing and who made us feel so welcome and we shared many stories with them all. Once the safari was over, after meeting with the owner at the airport for feedback, we flew to Zanzibar and were once again taken care of every step of the way, thanks to Lion King Adventures. To whomever is reading this, you need to look no further for an operator to book your safari, Lion King Adventures will give you a trip of a lifetime like they did for us. We will never forget this trip or top it.

Amazing Safari Experience!
We are grateful to witness such a wonderful South African experience. Wow. Many thanks for the great support and sending Miranda. She is truly a character and super entertaining im many ways. Everything was arranged to our convenience and pleasure within the giving time schedule. Additional activities were organized within a moment, and we could enjoy the whole time without worrying about arrangements or bookings. The Panorama tour with Miranda was also very special to us as she gave us lots of information, but also kept some private moments for us to enjoy. All in all, a wonderful experience and we would like to come back another time.
