Amazing 10/10 Safari Experience – Highly Recommend Steve!
I cannot recommend booking with Steve highly enough! As a solo traveller trying to arrange a safari on short notice, I reached out to several operators and Steve was the very first to reply. From that first message, his communication was incredibly warm, attentive, and accommodating. He went out of his way to make sure I could join a trip, and his dedication to customer service is truly wonderful – he even called me once just to apologise for a slight delay in answering a message from the day before. To build real trust, he makes the effort to come and meet you in person before the trip, which shows just how much he cares about his guests.
The safari itself was absolutely amazing! Our guide, Achi, was amazing – extremely kind, jovial and competent. He made us feel completely safe with his excellent driving whilst simultaneously having an incredible eye for spotting wildlife; we saw so many amazing animals! We stayed in truly great lodges throughout the trip.
This was an amazing 10/10 experience from start to finish. I will 100% book with Steve again the next time I return to Kenya, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for an unforgettable safari!

Exceeded our expectations
We were very satisfied with our tour operator notably Ana and her daughter Irene. Communication and organization was flawless. They even provided us with their own personal jackets when they saw that ours would nor be sufficiently warm in Ngorongoro at night. After the tour they still cared for us although the tour and the contract officially finished. In the end we said good bye to each other as friends. Thank you very much for helping us with everything!

One Journey, Countless Memories. Thank You, Michael & Sublime Travels!
From the moment we started planning our Kenya safari until the day we flew home, Michael from Sublime Travels made the entire experience nothing short of extraordinary.
Planning a family safari can be overwhelming, but Michael took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for and designed an itinerary that was perfectly paced and never rushed, yet packed with unforgettable experiences. Every day felt thoughtfully planned, giving us enough time to truly soak in the beauty of Kenya without feeling like we were constantly on the move.
The accommodation choices were exceptional. Our stay at Lake Naivasha Sopa Resort was absolutely beautiful, with stunning river views, hippos grazing nearby, and a peaceful atmosphere that made it hard to leave. Staying in the club tent at Sarova Mara Game Camp, right inside the Masai Mara, was a magical experience. Waking up to the sounds of nature, spotting wildlife and beautiful birds around the camp, and experiencing the wilderness from within the reserve created memories we’ll cherish forever. Michael then introduced us to another hidden gem, Veilscape Camp near Simba Gate. The spacious luxury tents, warm hospitality, delicious food, cozy bonfires under the African sky, and breathtaking sundowners made it the perfect ending to our Mara adventure.
Every experience Michael arranged exceeded our expectations. Cycling through Hell’s Gate National Park, walking among zebras and giraffes on Crescent Island, the boat safari on Lake Naivasha, thrilling game drives in Lake Nakuru National Park and the Masai Mara, and the spectacular sunrise hot air balloon safari over the Mara were all flawlessly organized. Each activity complemented the next, creating a safari that offered adventure, relaxation, and unforgettable wildlife encounters.
What truly sets Michael apart is his incredible knowledge, passion, and instinct as a guide. On our very first evening game drive, he somehow managed to help us spot the Big Five, an achievement we never imagined possible so quickly. His understanding of animal behaviour, birdlife, ecosystems, and the Masai Mara is simply remarkable. Every game drive became an engaging wildlife masterclass, where we learned fascinating facts while witnessing nature at its finest.
One of the absolute highlights of our trip was witnessing the Great Migration. Thanks to Michael’s experience, patience, and exceptional positioning of the vehicle, we found ourselves with front-row seats to one of the most breathtaking river crossings imaginable. It was one of those once-in-a-lifetime moments that will stay with our family forever.
As a photography enthusiast, I cannot thank Michael enough. He has an incredible eye for positioning the vehicle perfectly, ensuring we always had the best angle, lighting, and unobstructed views for photography. Many of the photographs and videos we brought home simply wouldn’t have been possible without his patience and thoughtful positioning.
Beyond being an outstanding guide, Michael is one of the kindest and most empathetic people we’ve met. Our son was recovering from a fractured hand, and Michael consistently drove with extra care over rough terrain, making sure he remained comfortable throughout the journey. He even arranged special pillows to support him during the long drives. These thoughtful gestures meant so much to us and demonstrated that our family’s comfort and wellbeing were always his priority.
He also went above and beyond to make my wife’s birthday truly unforgettable. From arranging beautiful decorations to organizing a special celebration right in the heart of the African savannah, he transformed her birthday into one of the most memorable celebrations we’ve ever had. It was a magical surprise that we’ll treasure forever.
Michael’s attention to detail extended far beyond the safari itself. He recommended excellent coffee stops, wonderful lunch spots, and authentic curio shops where we could shop with confidence. Throughout the trip, his communication was prompt, transparent, and reassuring. Whether before the trip or during our travels, every question was answered quickly, and every arrangement was handled seamlessly.
By the end of our safari, Michael was no longer just our guide, he had become a genuine friend. His warmth, professionalism, infectious enthusiasm, and sincere care transformed an amazing holiday into a deeply personal and unforgettable experience.
A huge thank you also to the entire team at Sublime Travels for delivering such a flawlessly organized safari. Every booking, transfer, park entry, activity, and accommodation was executed perfectly. Their attention to detail and commitment to customer satisfaction were evident throughout our journey.
If you’re considering a safari in Kenya, don’t think twice, book with Sublime Travels and, if you’re lucky enough to have Michael as your guide, you’re in for the trip of a lifetime. We leave Kenya with thousands of incredible photographs, unforgettable memories, and hearts full of gratitude.
Africa has truly captured our hearts, and we’ve already started planning our next adventure with Michael and Sublime Travels. We cannot wait to return.

The tour operator was well organised and safe and took care of everything.
Serengeti Smile came in contact with us through Patricia. She was our main point of contact during the booking of this safari. She took care of everything while still answering all or questions and doubts without much delay.
She appointed Joshua to us as a Guide for the whole Safari. He was very kind to us and told us a lot of details during our Safari. Joshua was very helpful to try to get us to see as many different animals as possible.
We appreciate Patricia’s patience and Joshua’s effort during our trip.
