Leslie was absolutely perfect.
Choice Safari came highly recommended, even with big expectations our Safari was turned out to be better than we had hoped. Our tour guide Leslie, was absolutely perfect, allowing the experience to unfold organically while ensuring that we stayed on schedule and out of harms way. Truly a trip of a lifetime!

You can find better.
We (a couple) booked a 5-days safari tour with Beasts Africa to begin last September.
We really enjoyed our experience: we got to see so much, our guides were so knowledgeable and made us feel safe and looked after. Our accommodations were nice, clean and hospitable. The transfers between each stop were long, but overall the rides were comfortable. We feel like we had the experience we were looking for and more.
However, there were also a number of issues:
- Our airport pickup was over an hour late. After a very long flight and without much internet connection, we had to phone the tour operator over and over: it took so long to get through and even longer to finally be picked up. No apology was offered for this massive inconvenience, nor explanation.
- Changes were made to our pre-agreed itinerary without our knowledge/approval, and only communicated to us few minutes before departure, without giving us the chance to amend or discuss.
- In regards to two different excursions (Masai village visit and boat trip), we specifically asked if there was going to be a surcharge, and we were told there would be none. However, both of these turned out to be at an extra cost once we got there.
- We had to insist to had a physical invoice given out to us, and the one we obtained had a different company's letterhead -an alleged "sister company".
- Included in the agreed fee, was a supply of bottled water for the duration of the tour. However, we for the first 2.5 days we were not provided this and our driver/guide stated that he had not been informed and he was not equipped to provide it. We had to therefore buy water at our own expense.
- We were not told that we would not travel with the same group and guide, but switch party depending on who was headed where next. We ended up switching twice and only finding out about the changes only a couple of hours beforehand. The second time we were assigned to the wrong group and ended up going in the wrong direction, which resulted more than 3h lost on our itinerary. Once again, we received no apology, in fact we were never even contacted to ensure the issue had been resolved.
All of the issues we experienced ultimately relate to how the tour was managed: the lack of communication, transparency and organisation. Even though we had a great trip, the merit goes to the guides and hospitality structures -both of which are not affiliated exclusively with this tour operator specifically.
Upon our return, we reached out to Beasts Africa to feedback all of the above: we were given contradictory justification for some points and dismissal for others, but no admission of responsibility nor apology.
Our advice is to definitely book a safari tour of Kenya, but with a different company.

A Spectacular Tanzanian Safari Adventure for Two
Going on a Tanzania safari was a mesmerizing adventure for our party of two. From the vast Serengeti plains to the majestic Ngorongoro Crater, every moment felt like a scene from a wildlife documentary. Our expert guide ensured an immersive experience, spotting the Big Five and narrating captivating tales of the animal kingdom. The luxurious lodges provided a perfect blend of comfort and nature, offering breathtaking views and indulgent amenities. Witnessing the Great Migration was a highlight, making this safari an unforgettable journey into the heart of Africa's untamed beauty."

The Extra Mile adventure safari was an informative and fantastic experience. The staff were supportive and enthusiastic about what they do. The safari was well worth the money and I would recommend this to anyone.

Phenomenal beauty, amazing people, faultless
Staff enthusiasm was unprecedented, all gave 100percent to ensure we had the best experiences possible. No requests were too much. Food was exceptionally overwhelming and wild life experiences were next level. The trackers passion in delivering the best experiences possible to achieve what we were personally looking for was unparalleled.
I thought this was a trip of a lifetime and a once off, but no, we will be back for more.

Best African adventure ever!
I booked my safari 2 days before flying & couldn’t be any happier to choose inspired feet. They helped me throughout from the quotes to the visa before arrival & the safari exceeded my expectations. I saw the big 5 and the driver was passionate about what he was doing & made sure we saw all the animals & more. The adventure didn’t stop at the safari only but I encountered memories of a lifetime with exchanging my hoodie for a massai necklace at Amboseli with the massai women selling things at the entrance to getting braids in Nairobi before leaving Kenya organised by inspired Feet. On top of being the best in organising the safari tour, Fiona is empathetic & customised the tour based on my specific needs while taking into account what I was going through. I would really recommend Inspired feet for an adventure to remember but also a trustworthy partner which is important while travelling.
