Amazing Trip!
We had an amazing time on our trip through Safari with Us! Our guide Ettienne took great care of us and we enjoyed his company and vast knowledge of the area. The highlight was definitely the Kurula lodge and our safari guide JD, who was absolutely exceptional!

It was amazaing and reasonable price tour.
That was amazaing and wonderful tour. My driver was tony. he ran offroad very skillfully.
I've traveled very smootly. First day was too many rainy day, I couldn't enjoy afternoon safari(For safety reasons). But afterday(fullday safari), tony did wonderful tour until Masai Mara National Park deadline. I saw all of big 5. That was very impressed.

Thank you for giving worderful honeymoon. Thank you so much.

7 Day Safari - easy to organise and an amazing holiday
Booking the holiday:
It was very straight forward to arrange the holiday. Replies were always very quickly, although they didn’t provide much information about accommodation, timings, routes etc.
This is the perfect holiday for people who want everything taken care of for them. If you take comfort in knowing all the details of your holiday then this might not be the one for you.
The holiday:
From start to finish your driver will be responsible for getting you where you need to go safely. The driver also guides you in the Parks and provides info about the animals you see along the way.
I travelled alone and shared a minibus with 8 other people. As you’re in the minibus and same accommodation with these people everyday you’re effectively sharing your holiday together, so you better hope for good people! I got lucky and it made the holiday that much better.
The Maasai Mara was amazing and we saw the tail end of the great migration. Be prepared for a very basic campsite accommodation and very welcoming staff. Also be ready for lots of pushy locals selling souvenirs at every opportunity.
Lake Nakuru was beautiful, although the flamingo population appears to have migrated elsewhere so don’t expect to see too many. The black and white rhinos make up for it though!
Be careful if you’re offered a boat ride at Naivasha, the boats are slow and get far too close to the hippos. It felt very unsafe. Accommodation in Naivasha and Nakuru were hotel resorts with relatively basic facilities.
If you visit Hells Gate National Park, make sure to walk or cycle the route, it’s a good opportunity to stretch your legs after long days in the minibus. Be cautious before entering the gorge, the guides don’t appear to be as professionally trained to spot flash flooding as they make out.
Amboseli was spectacular. You have have have to get up early and witness sunrise in the park. Expect a basic campsite with very very friendly staff and if you’re lucky, views of Kilimanjaro from the front porch of your tent.
Overall it was a fast and busy week; truly a whistlestop tour of some of southern Kenya’s best offerings. You won’t spend long anywhere, but it’s the perfect holiday if you’re on a budget and aiming for the dry season.
I had a really unrealistic list of things I wanted to see on this holiday, e.g. lions hunting, cheetahs running at full speed, leopards sitting in a tree, elephants, even a honey badger. I ticked 90% of the list off on day 1!

Really professional and friendly staff
It was and excellent experience travelling with Motto Tours. All the comunications and previous arrangements were perfect. Really fiendly and professional staff, not only the guide and the driver, but all the people involved in the trip, specially the management staff.
All the acommodations, visits, safaris and meals were perfectly organized. They were always keeping an eye on us and tried to fill up all our requests.
There was a little coordination problem with another travel agency at Tanzania and Motto Tours did their best to solve the problem allthough it wasn't their fault. They take us to the nearest hotel and stayed with us until everything was solved. They paid for all the expenses and extras and compensated us for the misunderstanding.
I definetively travel again with Motto Tours and I hardly recommend them for visitig Kenia.
Thanks.

Indescriptibly amazing
The communication was very easy, the service comprehensive and flexible.
I was taken to spot I didn't even think we're included in the tour and the driver was more than helpful (Thank you, Patrick). He led us through the Mara, immersing us into the culture of the Masai and background of the reserve. Also giving us some unique insight into the different animals we've had the chance to see.
Simply put, I couldn't be happier.

Well organised and professional
We had a 10 day safari with my son and his family, and I can't believe how much we saw, including watching a cheetah kill and most exciting of all seeing the Wilderbeest crossing the Mara river with the crocodiles waiting!
We saw rhinos, leopards, lions, every kind of antelope, hippos, hyenas, there can't be a lot we didn't see.
This was only possible because of our driver Peter whose experience and knowledge made the holiday so much more than we could possible have hoped for. He went beyond anything we could have expected to make this truly the experience of a lifetime.
The organisation was also excellent with everything happening when it should and on time.
Many thanks to everyone concerned

Extremely helpful and informative, delivering all the information in a timely and pleasant manner.
The information provided was accurate and informative. All questions answered in a friendly manner with a nothing is to much attitude. The tour was great fun and everything went as planned. The finer details were precise and even when we were in what appeared was the middle of nowhere our every need was catered for. Food and accomodation was top knot notch and the trip was amazing. Africa and its people were simply amazing.

Great company to travel with, very helpful and knowledgeable
Fina and her team set up a clear and excellent itinerary where we had chance to see every wild animal, stay in some great accommodation and experience a hot air balloon ride. We would highly recommend Across the Wild. They were quick to respond, very efficient and friendly.
