Awesome day trip to Tsavo East National Park
The tour itinerary was comprehensive, trip started on time, everything went smoothly as planned. We enjoyed the game drive. Lunch at the Ashnil Aruba Lodge was delicious.
The trip was affordable and I definitely recommend them for the next trip.

An experience of a lifetime
Having never been to Africa let alone a safari we did not have any idea of which company we would use. Having done a little online research we opted for “Spirt of Kenya”. They offer totally flexible private safaris where from the hotel in Nairobi your Driver and tour guide transports you door to door for the entire journey.
From the very beginning where we emailed “Spirit of Kenya” Tiago quickly sorted an initial itinerary from our requirements. We wanted to see lots of wildlife and see part of the great animal migration in the Masai mara from a hot air ballon. We were offered a good choice of levels of accommodation. We upgraded on a few where we would be staying for more than 1 night and would highly recommend “ The Sarova Salt lick Lodge” in Tsavo West , “Ol Tukai Lodge” in Amboseli and “Entim private camp” in the Masai Mara ( where you stay under canvass in an unfenced encampment ). All of the accommodation was made better by the excellent friendly staff who could not do enough to ensure your stay was comfortable.
The hot air ballon experience was well worth the extra cost. You float above the landscape for an hour or so getting a great views of the wildlife then after landing a champagne breakfast set up in the bush.
We don’t eat meat but we need not have had any concerns about the choices of food available for breakfast, lunch or evening dinner . Some of our accommodation choices offered self service buffet others “a la carte” . There was always plenty of fresh fruit , salad veg & fish on offer. At the Entim private camp the chef actually came out to talk us about what we would eat. It’s all the more amazing when you consider most of the camps are a long way from anywhere along some rough tracks.
You have to be up early most mornings but it’s worth seeing sunrise over the vast landscapes. If you are too early for breakfast there is always good coffee and cake to get you started.
Our driver Simon is a very experienced guide and we are convinced has superpower eye site. He could spot a camouflaged animal at considerable distances whilst driving . We would only find it after we had stopped and with binoculars in hand. His knowledge of the wildlife was incredible - birds, plants snakes included. He easily managed to navigate in the parks along tracks , across rivers , with no signs anywhere. There are some long drives along tarmac highways and out of park dirt tracks where you get to see some of the rural aspects of Kenya including interesting chats with Simon on the politics of the country which to us is all part of the experience.
We would not hesitate in recommending “Spirit of Kenya” if you are looking for an experience of a lifetime.

Great, hassle free way to organise a trip!
Great customer service from Bison safaris. Excellent communication while organising the trip, thanks to Maggie! We had an excellent driver who knew the land well. Excellent value for money. I would definitely recommend Bison Safaris to anyone travelling to Kenya.

Very helpful. Delivered what they promised
We had a good experience with them. Oscar was very helpful and accommodated to all our needs.
He personally drove us to and from the start and end of the tour, crossing borders, and it was all a breeze.
We ticked off all animals we wanted to see as well, even a leopard.

Once in a lifetime experience
Gilbert was our tour guide for the most memorable 10 days of our lives.
Gilbert was an amazing guide, super professional and such a lovely guy and was one of the best drivers we have ever had. We have to navigate some extremely treacherous roads and his handling of the vehicle was outstanding.
His English is also fantastic and his knowledge and experience was second to none. I can’t wait to come back.

Wonderful trip to South Africa and Mozambique, organised by Kathi Simon.
The whole trip was absolutely seamless! All my drivers were there absolutely on time, and they were all lovely people. Kathi choose a super hotel in Mabuto and a fantastic beach resort at Viancoulos. The driver who took me through the border into Mozambique was from Mabuto, he knew the ropes, and I was through the border in about 30 minutes. I absolutely love Africa and can’t wait to go back!

Big 5 and many more
Our guide Ayoni went above and beyond and we saw the big 5 in our first few hours of the game drive, this included the black rhino which had not been spotted for a while by anyone. Overall amazing experience and plenty of wildlife to see.

Very familiar staff and perfect organization
Motto Tours organized for my family a very special trip to Kenia. They were really concerned about our wellness and did their best so the trip were perfect. We had a spanish speaking guide and a driver just for the family and they were really kind (specially with the kids) and proffesional. Good means of transport, acommodations and good price for the whole trip. They solved in a satisfactory way all the little problems that came across the trip.
I would hardly recommend to travel with Motto Tours.
