Outstanding in all ways
We did Astralken's 18 day budget safari for two people. The wide range of locations from the North to the Tanzania border allowed us to experience a broader range of Eco systems, animals, cultures and topography. It included less visited locations while still visiting the more famous parks. Did you know that there are zebras and giraffes in the north with different markings than those in other parts of Kenya? We visited Riff lakes, waterfalls, rivers with hippos and crocodiles, watched hippos coming on shore after dark to eat, from our veranda and saw an incredible range of animals. A high point was visiting a group of nomads in the North who build no shelters and speak no Swahili.
What really made this trip so fantastic were the Australken people.

Zippy managed all communication before and during the trip responding quickly and following up almost daily asking for our feedback. Of course she set the fantastic itinerary with unique places and experiences that made the trip. She met us at the airport when we arrived and took us to the airport when we left.
Moses was our guide and driver. He was a calm and very safe driver in a land of dangerous drivers and roads! He was an uncanny wildlife spotter with full knowledge of the local habitats and animals in each of the diverse areas we visited. He enjoyed every day of the trip, always up.
John was our cook providing good meals. He was always upbeat, quick to laugh (even at my jokes) and added to our trip in so many ways.
Moses and John made this a very happy experience, beyond just a standard game drive. We were all sad when they dropped us at the hotel at the end of the trip.
We can't imagine having a better safari than we experienced with Zippy and Australken!
PS: WE are in our upper 70s and had no problems, you can do it too!

The best! Organization, driver, stays, cars, animals, food, schedule - all perfect!
Our safary with Australkin was fantastic!
Zippy takes care of everything, pays attention to every small detail. Easy friendly communication (feels that she is online 24/7, responding in 1-2 minutes any time).
Wonderful choice of places to stay, great driver (finding the right spot, the right time, with some stories about animals), almost new reliable toyota 4x4, intense and interesting schedule for every day. Not a single issue to complaint about.
That was the best organization of the trip I've ever met (I've been in 60 countries, some of them visited many times - so I have experience to compare).
Thanks Zippy for unforgettable experience!

Australken is an amazing company offering a great personal service
We chose Australken over other tour companies, as Zippy was super efficient with arranging our safari trip, she was responsive, professional and helpful at all times.
Our safari driver Symon was extremely knowledgable and went above and beyond to ensure that we had an amazing adventure. He was polite and curteous and kept the vehichle clean & tidy. His English was extremely good and very articulate.
His knowledge of the animals and birds was outstanding, and his love for his job shone through.
The trip was excellent value for money, we stayed in 4 of the 5 Sopa Lodges in Kenya and all were excellent and highly recommended.
We travelled to Amboseli, Lake Naivasha, Nakuru and Masai Mara
Overall a fabulous tour operator offering more than a personal touch. Highly recommended.
