This was the perfect experience in terms of responsiveness, knowledge and ease of working with.
The trip could not have been better. Charles at ToKenya arranged everything so we did not have to think about anything. He was incredibly responsive. When you called or sent an email he responded immediately. The accommodation everywhere exceeded our expectations. Our guides Norman in Kenya and Noel in Tanzania were so knowledgeable and knew exactly where to go to enable us to see as many animals as possible. They made the trip perfect. Ending the trip with a few days in Zanzibar was exactly the right thing to do. We spent time at the beach and pool and had a trip to a spice plantation."
I would highly recommend Bespoke African Safari. We have raveled all over the world and this has been the best trip by far.

Excellent experience throughout.
It was easy booking this tour as Blessing and Sheila communicated with us so well.
We felt ‘looked after’ from the initial booking right up until the end of the tour, which was excellent. We enjoyed the spectacular Victoria Falls and saw many animals on the safaris (including lions, elephants, hippos, giraffes, buffaloes, crocodiles, zebras, baboons, impala and many beautiful birds) which were a perfect mix of land and water based.
Muto was an excellent safari guide with a wealth of knowledge. He was punctual and reliable with a great sense of humour.
We would definitely recommend this tour.

Amazing Tour
To Kenya Tours did an incredible job creating our itinerary in Africa. We worked with Elizabeth Kilungu via email and phone during the pre-planning of our trip. She created an itinerary that was exactly what we wanted. Travel plans, flights, guides and transfers were all coordinated and taken care of. She met us in Nairobi and sent us on our way. We visited Kenya, Tanzania, Zimbabwe and South Africa. She timed out safari perfectly so we could see the wildebeests migration in the Serengeti. Every detail of our trip was carefully chosen and To Kenya's staff, guides, and drivers were the BEST! Friendly, insightful and generous of heart."

Excellent customer service!
"Trip of a Lifetime
This was our second trip through tokenya.com. Charles spent a great deal of time with us on the phone in the planning stage of our trip to Rwanda, Kenya and Egypt. He was patient and knowledgeable and took care of our airfare, lodging, meals and tour guides. The trip was amazing and everything ran like clockwork! Our guides were always punctual and shared their knowledge of the countries with us. Our lodgings were beautiful and meals excellent. We were treated like VIPs. Will definitely use Charles again for future trips!"

Great experience for a good price
I booked my 5 days safari tour including Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Hell's Gate just 2 days before the start. I requested the tour via safaribookings, got an offer really quickly, confirmed it and was ready to go.
The tour started from Nairobi with our excellent driver Kikitu , we went to the Masai Mara and saw a cheetah and lions already on our afternoon drive. The next day we spent from early morning till late afternoon in the park, went to the mara river and saw all possible animals except the rhino. The highlight were 9 lions eating a zebra. The next day we visited a masai village, which is optional and a bit too much touri show, but also interesting.
Then we started the way back and I switched the car in the middle of the way, because I had 2 days more and headed to Nakuru, while the others went back to Nairobi. The next day I did with a new small group the game drive in Lake Nakuru Nationalpark and finallly saw the Rhinos. Big 5 complete. I highly recommed to add Lake Nakuru because the chance to see Rhinos is high, while it is very low in Masai Mara.
After that also the people of the new group went back, while I came to a hotel in Naivasha.
On the last day it was only me, so I got a private tour to Hell's Gate, took a selfie with a zebra, because you can go out of the car in that park and we went through a beautiful canyon till the end to the devil's bedroom. After Hell's Gate it was also time for me to go back to Nairobi, which we reached in the afternoon.
I was very happy with the tour, the drivers and guided were all very nice and spoke good english, accomodation was okay for the price and safari experience was absolutly amazing. So if you look for a budget tour with a great safari experience, just book with Jocky Tours and Safaris.

Stole money from us!
Took our money for the tour. Said that the driver has run away with our deposit so we have to pay more. We did not pay and never got our money back. Don't choose this company!!

Wonderful Safari experience
Absolutely wonderful trip! The tour was from beginning to end very well organized. The company always replied very fast and the informations were reliable. We saw a lot of the country and could enjoy the wildlife. Two unforgettable moments were meeting a rhino while trekking in Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary and spending time with the chimps in Kigale. They are really worth the visit.
In compare the trip was quite cheap but the accommodations were all very fine with really nice food. Best price- performance ratio.
Our guide, Jonan, was extremely friendly and funny, we head a really good time. He was always there for explanations and made everything possible. No wish was unfulfilled.
Thanks again for such a good time!

Great Experience!
Our experience was beyond what we expected in all terms. The shuttle from the airport to the hotel was great, the suggested hotel was amazing with great staff and accommodation. The meals were unbelievable. The game drives and bush walks were remarkable. Everything was perfect.

The best experience with knowledgeable guides, beautiful accommodation and reasonable price!
This was by far the best holiday we have ever taken! We were so well looked after with 3 superb guides (different legs of our trip) in Zimbabwe, South Africa and Swaziland that it was an amazing trip! The 5 safaris we went on were top-notch and the accommodation and food was second to none. All the experiences were things we had not seen in other parts of the world and were very well explained by our guides. Odyssey Safaris organized a wonderful trip for us, with every small detail taken care of and by employing our extremely competent guides in Africa it was an extremely pleasurable trip for us. The cost was very reasonable too. I would recommend to anyone and everyone to use Odyssey Safaris for your holiday to Africa!
