Great variety of scenery
We went 3 people in a private 13 day safari with the company Australken. We visited Samburu, ol pejeta, aberdare, lake naivasha, maasai mara, lake nakuru and lake bogoria. Arranging the trip according to our wishes went smooth, Zippy responded quickly and were happy to let us tailor the itinerary. She repeatedly checked up on us during the trip to ensure that everything was fine. Our guide Symon had great knowledge about the flora and fauna of our destinations. He made a big effort that left us very happy with the trip. I can without any doubt recommend Australken to others, and will gladly use their services again should i return to the area

Excellent 6 day safari
All was fantastic. The driver /guide (primarily a driver) was great. Accommodation ranged from fair (permanent tents) to very good for hotel nights. "Head office" were sometimes slow to provide information, booked documents, and there were a few items that people were not sent all all - which the driver was able to sort out after phoning head office several times. I suppose the clue is in the name, "Budget safaris", I WOULD book this trip again!

Fantastic budget 6 day Safari
The six day safari was just fantastic. The accommodation ranged from "fair" (permanent tents) to "very good" for a few hotel nights.
Wildlife, scenery was perfect! Transportation was also of an acceptable/good standard - driver/guide also very helpful and informative (but primarily a driver). Highlights was seeing all the "big 5' in one day!! The "central booking" office had to be constantly chased up for some of the information - but when called "budget safaris" you get what you expect I suppose. All in all, i would do the trip again!!

We did the best 5-days safari-trip with jocky tour.
This year I came to Africa for the first time and We did the best 5-days safari-trip with Jocky tour. The safari was great, we have seen so many animals i mean all 5 big and others. Our guide Isaac was the best, he was fun and very experienced and did everything to make some good memories for us! The Camp where we stayed was very cool and especially for the night to feel safe! Everything was like 5 star hotel. Totally recommended.

It was a very good experience.
Safari was good, but make sure you book the right camp. They have confirmed for me Lanchada camp which is the one I have asked when booking, but some guy called Sam booked the camp in Goshen camp to pocket more money which is very very bad. I had to spend one night at Goshen then moved to Lanchada for the second night. Driver/guide Lawrence is very good. Please don’t go to Goshen camp where the food or tents are very bad. I had food poisoning because of expired bread and cheese.

Excellent nature park with daring animals
Wildlife is wonderful and animals suprisingly daring in nature parks. It makes possible to do excellent photos and enjoy wildlife's every-day-life. The landscape is also amazing, but local villages, markets and road sides are dirty - lots of garbage everywhere. Hotels were clean and staff friendly. Food is usual. We had good food during two week travel in Kenya only in one restaurant. Especially desserts are not kenyan strong side. Local roads are in terrible conditions, but we enjoy rough trips. Houses, clothing and lifestyle in Kenya is still quite authentic in countrysides. We enjoy naturalness and originality more than european-style resorts.

Trip of a lifetime!
This was an extraordinary trip, a 7 day Safari to Maasai Mara, Lake Naivasha, Amboseli and Tsavo.
We were much more than pleased by our experience, the beauty of Kenya, his people and the wildlife.
Really big koodos to Mike-Mike, our guide and driver for the week and the owner of Best Memory Safaris, Isaak.
Both of them did a fabulous job. Hope to go back!
