Incredible Kenya
We visited Kenya on an 8-day itinerary and it was the BEST DECISION to plan our trip with Image Travel. It took us a lot of shopping to discover Image Travel and we’re so glad we did!! We had a 5 star experience throughout the trip to celebrate a milestone birthday for my mom, and it was thanks to Mwanje and Anthony!!
We visited three different national parks (Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Amboseli) during our trip and custom designed our itinerary including the hotels and routing - Mwanje helped us by offering thoughtful suggestions and tips along the way, and was so kind to work with us to revise our itinerary multiple times until we got it right. Mwanje offered us incredible rates and made reservation holds right away at the 5 star resorts we wanted to stay at, to ensure we secured a spot well in advance. Mwanje was very responsive while we were on safari and resolved issues immediately - one of our hotels placed us in an incorrect room type, and Mwanje helped move us to the correct room type for the next night.
TIP: Plan your trip at least 4-6 months in advance if you are customizing your itinerary, especially for the busy “Great Migration” season from June-September.
We kicked off our trip with Anthony picking us up at our Nairobi hotel. He was warm, friendly, and A WONDERFUL GUIDE who was with us for the entire 8-day trip. At the end of the trip, we truly felt like a close friend had taken us around Kenya and helped us create such wonderful memories!!
Anthony is extremely knowledgeable of the Kenyan national parks terrain and culture, and he ensured that we saw all of the Kenyan Big 5 (elephant, buffalo, lion, rhino, and leopard) and much much more. We saw 30+ species of animals and birds, and it was all thanks to Anthony’s dedication, determination, and commitment to ensuring we made the most of our trip!! We saw lions every single day of the trip, observed a hunt in action, and one about to kickoff. Anthony would spot wildlife action from a distance (much sooner than it came into view for any of us) and take us to the spot sooner than the other safari vehicles. We often got the best viewing spots and picturesque opportunities for so many photographs!
Anthony was a safe driver (we spent hours on safari game drives each day), accommodated pit stops to keep us comfortable, taught us so much about Kenyan history, and answered all our questions with enthusiasm!! The field guide makes all the difference on a safari, and we are truly grateful to Anthony for making our trip a wonderful experience where we created so many fond memories together that we will cherish for a lifetime. We highly recommend Image Travel and Anthony for your African Safari trip, and we look forward to traveling with them again soon!

She is so welcoming and have a sense of humor
Everything was truly excellent.
The lodge's location was perfect, offering an ideal setting for our stay. The tents were fantastic, providing a comfortable and enjoyable experience. The staff was exceptionally friendly, and the food was not only delicious but also served with great care. One delightful surprise was the opportunity to observe zebras, wildebeests, and monkeys in the vicinity.
Our guide consistently impressed us by being punctual, knowledgeable about the surroundings, and always ready to share insightful information. It all contributed to a thoroughly enjoyable and enriching experience.

Excellent Safari and Cultural Exploration in Tanzania.
What added an extra layer of cultural richness to the journey was the City Tour and visit to a Maasai Village. Exploring the vibrant city life and immersing ourselves in the Maasai culture provided a unique perspective beyond the natural wonders. The city tour offered a glimpse into the local lifestyle, while the Maasai Village visit allowed us to connect with the traditions and heritage of this incredible community. This well-rounded adventure, combining nature and cultural experiences, is highly recommended for those seeking the ultimate Tanzanian adventure with a diverse range of experience

Fantastic Safari Trip
2-Day Amboseli Safari from Nairobi
I recently had the pleasure of embarking on a 2-day safari to Amboseli National Park with Kentau Safaris, and I cannot express enough how exceptional the experience was. From start to finish, every aspect of the trip was seamlessly coordinated, making it a truly memorable adventure.
First and foremost, the tour guide provided by Kentau Safaris was nothing short of amazing. Their knowledge of the local wildlife, coupled with a deep passion for conservation, added a profound dimension to the safari. Not only were they adept at spotting even the most elusive creatures, but they also shared fascinating insights into the behavior and ecology of each species. It was evident that our guide was genuinely committed to ensuring a meaningful and educational experience for every guest.
The comfort of the safari jeep also played a crucial role in enhancing the overall enjoyment of the trip. The vehicle provided by Kentau Safaris was not only spacious but also well-maintained and equipped for the rugged terrain of Amboseli National Park. The open roof design allowed for unobstructed views, ensuring that every moment of wildlife spotting was a visual feast. Additionally, the comfort and safety of the jeep added to the overall sense of relaxation, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the breathtaking landscapes and wildlife encounters.
The attention to detail, personalized service, and genuine warmth exhibited by the entire team contributed significantly to the success of the trip. From the initial inquiry to the final farewell, every interaction with Kentau Safaris left a positive impression, and it's clear that they prioritize creating unforgettable experiences for their guests.
I wholeheartedly recommend Kentau Safaris to anyone planning a trip to Amboseli National Park in Kenya. Their combination of exceptional guides, comfortable vehicles, and commitment to excellence ensures that your safari will be nothing short of extraordinary. Thank you, Kentau Safaris, for making my Amboseli adventure a once-in-a-lifetime experience!

Great guide
Paul Kimiri, Jimmy, and John were all great to have on the trip. They were so knowledgeable and friendly. They really tried to make everything we wanted to see or do happen. The only con I would say is that the food was not great, but I think you need to be prepared for that as a fact if you are going on safari in Kenya and Tanzania because it was the same everywhere. Would highly recommend them as guides/drivers.

Amazing One-Day Tour from Nairobi City Center
Awesome tour. Hotel pick-up, vehicle, park entrance, game-drive and especially our guides: Everything perfect!! The nairobi nationalpark is really underestimated. Way more beautiful and divers than expected. But what made this Tour very special, was the dedication of our guides. We got the feeling, that nature, preserving the nature and showing it to other people is very important for them (and this is not only their business, like you are feeling with other tour-operators). Thank you very much.

the most unforgettable experience of my life
We did the 5 days tour: gorilla and chimpanzee trekking, queen elizabeth Nationalpark, lake bunyonyi and a boat cruise. Our guide has been Tony and he was just perfect! He is a very gentle and friendly guy with a huge knowledge about flora and fauna. He really did such a wonderful job and went out of his way to provide us with the most unforgettable experience we couldn’t dream of.
If you want to make the most out of your trip to Uganda you should go with friendly gorillas and ask for Tony!

Good
Amazing trip. The gorillas and chimps were incredible and totally worth the money.
The lodges were really nice and comfortable and provided most good food.
The driver eddie was very good.
I would however check the distances and ensure you have enough time to do what you want. We initally planned to do a chimp trek and then get an afternoom flight which was not viable when we arrived although kaara had said it was. They did however find a solution for us.
