Perfect East Africa Safari Expert : My 28th time in Masai Mara
This is Varun Aditya, an award winning Wildlife Photographer from India. I’m quite known for travelling often to Kenya and Tanzania if you’ve seen my pictures on Instagram. I just came back home from my 28th trip in Masai Mara. This is my 3rd time using Africa Barefoot Safaris inside Masai...
Amazingly helpful and created the exact trip I was after.
From the moment I decided to have a safari adventure, Praj at Africa barefoot safari was there to help and guide me with every aspect of planning my trip. She was quick to reply and ensure it was exactly what I wanted. She has a clear passion in ensuring her guests get the best experience. Being a...
Knowledgeable, Understanding, Reliable, Someone with whom we would happily work with again
Back in June 2023, we had no idea about how a Safari trip should look like and the only thing that we knew for certain that both of us have back issues and hence, can't travel between places by road. None of the group travel operators would accommodate this customization. While looking for a...
Tailormade individual safari package with beach stay
I have never used a company based outside of the UK before but after reading Tripadvisor and safari booking reviews I contacted Kenan. Jennifer immediately replied offering different itineraries all fully priced. There was many exchanges between us as I changed my preferences of travel, lodges,...
Exemplary organisation & wonderful choice of locations created a trip of a lifetime! Thanks Rose!
Rose was extremely helpful and responsive from the outset. She provided some excellent suggestions to our fairly woolly brief! Everything was organised to perfection, with exceptionally friendly and helpful guides and drivers in country. Both Safari locations in Kenya offered very different...
Second safari with Waitaka!!
First safari on 2022 was such a good experience with Waithaka that we repeat it, we went to other hotels in Masai Mara and Naboisho, and we are already planning next one for 2024 Africa and Waithaka really get you, he is a very experienced safari guide.
Excellent tour operator, personal and professional
Over a year ago I put a previous review of Kenan travel and tours on here expressing my feelings of the excellent service i was receiving from tour manager Jane and I can now fully justify those comments after recently completing a memorable fly in safari package booked through her at Basecamp Eagle...
Planned an 8 day safari that far exceeded our expectations!
Unforgettable trip! Far exceeded my expectations! So glad I chose Africa Safari Classics to plan our trip. My mom has had a safari on her bucklist forever and we finally decided to go despite the current uncertainties with the pandemic. Glad we did. Went the last part of December 2021. My 72...
Good option for custom itineraries through Kenya
We (late 20s couple) typically never book with a tour company for our travel but since this was our first safari we decided to work with Kenan Travel to arrange a private tour. Our safari was 2 weeks through Kenya where we stayed at a wide range of properties from budget to mid range to luxury. ...
Wonderfully coordinated trip
We’ve just returned from our 2 week safari + beach trip to Kenya and I’m so happy we booked our trip with Seven by Far. I started corresponding with Sylvester in the spring and throughout this entire process, he has been incredibly patient, even as I changed my mind on our itinerary and lodges. ...
They continue to make my safari the best ever!
Another great safari handled by Amazing Memories Safaris. This was my 10th trip to Kenya and my 4th time working with them. When I purchased my ticket in April of 2020, I planned the trip for January 2021 so I could spend my birthday in Kenya. I had a bit of a concern that the trip would be a go...
Return Customers
This was our sixth safari in Kenya and our second trip with Transtrek, here visiting the Mara and Naboisho. After a telephone discussion Daniel organised our trip superbly at relatively short notice. As enthusiastic amateur photographers we much prefer the freedom of independent (v group) travel,...
Family experience of a lifetime!
Thankyou to Daniel Francis and the Transtrek Safaris team, we had a fantastic time and have memories for life. Daniel organised a 10 day safari around our wishes to visit Samburu NR, Lake Nakuru NP, Lake Naivasha and the Masai Mara and his knowledge, advice and communication were exceptional. We...
Reliable and trust worthy travel partners.
While deciding the package and the places of stay, Anne helped us through the entire process. She was very prompt and detailed in her response which helped us communicate in a better way. We had taken a flying package to Naboisho conservancy and the price quote for the entire package seemed better...
An Unforgettable Safari
On our fifth visit to Kenya for a safari we chose TransTrek on the recommendation of one of their previous clients. I would have no hesitation in extending that recommendation to other travellers who have similar interests and objectives. This is a very professional outfit. For us Kenya is a...
Vacay (Ms. Leonorah) is reliabl, always responded promptly and all booking processes were punctual.
The 4 days 3 nights inflight Ol Seki Hemengways Camp was perfect! The small tented camp is fabulous and located in the Mara Naboisho Conservancy, whisch is packed with wild animals and the strict rules for game drives are strictly followed by the rangers.Max 4 Jeep are allowed todrive close to the...
Everything went exceptionally smoothly and was professionally handled. Geoffrey was a great contact!
We had a great experience with Kenan Travel & Tours. Our group (four of us total) decided to book a 4-day safari fairly last minute (less than a month before we were set to arrive). Despite the short notice, we ended up with a fabulous trip. Shortly after submitting an information request, we...
Exceeded Our Expectations - Seven Day Tour, Rift Valley Lakes and the Masai Mara
My wife and I took a seven day private tour which included Lake Nakuru and Lake Naivasha in the Rift Valley, the Masai Mara, and the Mara Naboisho Conservancy. Our trip spanned the end of June into July. From the outset, Daniel’s (with Transtrek) communications were prompt and helpful. He...
An incredibly exciting and memorable trip to Kenya with ‘Magical Destinations Safari'
The Magical Destinations Safari made our African safari trip possible, at first and then unforgettable, until the next one. We started to plan our trip a bit late in time of the year, especially with the top season coming around July-Sep and we were planning ours for the last week of June-first week...
Amazing experience in and around the Maasai Mara
Transtrek Safaris are simply unforgettable. Daniel was fantastic at making sure for our 4 day 3 night safari complimented the rest of our time in Kenya (for example we were already going to visit Lake Naivasha). Our guide Tony was extremely knowledgable and enabled us to have a wildlife experience...
Want a dream safari planned? Look no further!
Right from my first call to Sangeeta enquiring about a safari in Kenya to arriving back home after 9 eventful nights, the experience has been top notch. Chalo Africa provided me with all the options available and I am so happy that I followed her advice and stayed at Mara Encounter and Topi...
Time to Return
I'm in the process of planning another safari (this time with a group; my first visit in 2015 was solo). I'm researching and reading but my heart and mind keep returning to Asilia and Rekero Camp. Previously I stayed at Rekero and Naboisho camps; both were amazing. I still remember my heart stopping...
An Excellent Trip
My wife and I booked a 5 night safari visiting Aberdare, Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara and Naboisho in late January. This was followed in mid February by a visit to Naivasha and Hell’s Gate and then a ½ day safari in Nairobi National Park. Tropical Valley provided a guide/driver and an appropriate...
great trip to Rwanda and Kenya
I booked through African Ubuntu Safaris for my trip to Rwanda and Kenya. Everything went just according to plan. I was met on arrival at Jo'burg by Gerard the local rep who gave me a book and some useful info, then at Kigali by a local representative ( of the local agency who were African primate...
Brilliant Kenyan safari experience with Transtrek Safaris
Our son recommended Transtrek Safaris to us and we are so glad that we took his advice. We contacted Daniel and were immediately impressed by how efficiently he tailored a trip to meet our needs and expectations: a six-day safari on which we could hope to see lots of game, yet not be in areas...
Great safari - excellent service
We had a 6 day tour with Classic Journeys in June 2016. We visited Naivasha and Masai Mara. Classic Journeys were great in organizing the trip, our expectations were met 100%, everything worked fine, time schedule was kept without delays and we didn't have any problems. We had a Toyota 4WD Minivan....
travel designers of your dreams!
It is hard to add to all of the great reviews here. All I can say is that every word is truly spoken by immensely happy customers, my family included. Chris customized a safari for our family of 4 very much like their "Cheetah" safari. The Boma, Nairobi, flight to Elephant Bedroom at Samburu,...
Fabulous 9 Day East African Safari Courtesy of Planet Africa Safaris!
Just returned from the above "dream" vacation with my family of 4. Entire trip was booked courtesy of Mary and Leah from Planet Africa Safaris. We stayed in 3 high end tented camps in Kenya (Ol Pejeta Bush Camp, Rekero Camp, and Naboisho Camp). We flew between the first two camps and then flew...
2 outstanding bases, one in the Masai Mara reserve, the second at Eagle View, Naboisho Conservancy
Starting with service, we were greeted so warmly in both of our bases and we found all of the staff to be very proactive in ensuring that we got the best from our visit. Our expectations were exceeded, by far, without doubt. My wife's birthday was marked by just about the whole of the Eagle View...
A Perfect Day in the Mara
My husband and I chose the Masai Mara to celebrate our 35th anniversary and we stayed with Asilia Africa at Naboisho for seven nights. What an impeccable choice. From the moment we arrived until we tearfully said goodbye we were treated with care, concern and pampered beyond belief. Helen and...
Ruaha and Zanzibar. Rekero and Naboisho
We have travelled with Asilia to Kwihala camp in Ruaha, followed by Matemwe Lodge Zanzibar in Sept 2014 and then to Rekero Camp in the Mara followed by Naboisho conservancy in June 2015. The quality and service in all of the camps is consistently high. The organization of bookings from the Cape Town...
An incredible first trip to Africa - we'll be back!
Our trip was organised in such a short amount of time, and upon sending out a few emails to various companies, Rose was the first to reply. She was always so helpful with answering emails and responding to requests, and gave us a truly incredible safari experience in Kenya. Rose really understood...
A Trip of a Lifetime Come True Thanks to Chris and The Safari Partners !
Just returned from a Safari trip to Kenya followed by a beach holiday in Zanzibar, Tanzania for a bucket list trip for my 50th Birthday and it was beyond awesome all thanks to Chris and the Safari Partners. Travelled July 05-15, 2015. Chris put together a package for us to stay at the Encounter...
Review about Samburu National Reserve by sebastian brandner
We stayed at the Saruni Samburu Lodge, which is more upmarket that the Offbeat Meru. It is located on a rock, overlooking the plains. Guests come from all continents. The rooms are spacious, with electricity and a weak wifi, which is good enough to download the occasional email, and browse the web....
Review about Masai Mara National Reserve by sebastian brandner
Ol Seki in Mara Naboisho This was the last part of our Safari. The accommodation is very upmarket, in robust tents, embedded in the middle of the wilderness. It is a 10 min drive from the airstrip, and it is located in the heart of the Naboisho conservancy. Run by a British Manager, this place is...
Safari Planning Made Easy
My planning started a good eleven months before the trip. While I had the basic structure of the trip in mind, Willow from Planet Africa Safaris had many helpful recommendations and my dream trip was set to reality quickly. I was impressed on how fast she always responded to my every inquiry, as if...
Exceeded Expectations
My wife and I traveled from the end of June into early July. This was our first trip to Africa and it exceeded all expectations. It will not be our last trip. Transtrek made booking painless. Daniel was responsive, offered suggestions without being pushy, and handled everything quickly. Our main...
