Fantastic - made for an unforgettable family adventure!
Last year, we booked a 5-day safari covering Amboseli, Tsavo East & West, and Taita Hills for our family of six, and we had the pleasure of enjoying a private land cruiser for the entire journey.
From the start, Charles was incredibly responsive and crafted a fantastic itinerary tailored to our needs.
Our tour guide, Patrick, was the highlight of our trip—he deserves a full 5 stars. His extensive knowledge, dedication to finding the best game views, and warm, engaging personality made the entire experience truly memorable.
However, there are a few considerations to keep in mind when booking:
As noted by others, the quality of accommodations varied. While one lodge offered a unique leopard experience, the room itself was too uncomfortable for a good night's sleep. Given the long days of travel and game drives, we found that restful sleep was essential.
Additionally, although the itinerary mentioned "time at leisure" at the lodges, in reality, there was little downtime between lunch and the evening game drives. Unless you plan to stay in one location for a couple of days to truly unwind, I recommend prioritizing accommodation comfort over amenities like pools.
Despite these minor points, the trip was absolutely incredible and one we will cherish forever!

Excellent trip of a lifetime! 2-weeks Bush and Beach Safari
We – 3 couples in our 50’s and 60’s –returned yesterday from a 2-week Bush & Beach Safari from Kenya. In this trip, we covered game drives in Masai Mara NP (1 ¼ days), Amboseli NP (1 ¼), Nakuru NP (1 day) and Naivasha (1 day). We enjoyed 3 nights/4 days beach vacation in Diani (Mombasa) and also had city tours in Mombasa (1 day) and Nairobi. The entire trip was organized by Salina Wild Adventures.
We approached several tour organizers listed in safaribookings.com. In the end, we selected Salina for their competitive pricing and responsiveness. Our initial contact was with Charles and were handed over to Teddy, who was very responsive to all our queries and demands. He customized a tour based on our necessities. Teddy is based in Nairobi but kept in touch with us throughout the tour.
The accommodations were superb – special mention for Lotos Inn and Suites in Nairobi for their cleanliness and superb Chinese food, and Sentrim Elementaita on the shores of Lake Elementaita, for the excellent location, comfortable accommodation and the excellent buffet spread.
We travelled in a 4 x 4 Toyota Landcruiser during the safari section and had 1 – 2 cars during the city & beach sections of the tour. We always had a vehicle at our disposal and 95% of our meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner) was included in the tour price.
Our driver, John, during the safari section, was fantastic. He was Masai and was very knowledgeable about the animals, the local customs and traditions. He took extra effort to drive great distances in the National Parks to spot the animals.
Future travelers should take note that the luggage space in the Safari vehicle was quite cramped for 6 travelers and their 6 suitcases and personal baggage.
Perhaps the only complaint we had during the trip was that the vehicles provided during the city parts of the tour both in Nairobi and Mombasa could not accommodate all 6 of us in one vehicle. We had to constantly call Teddy to make alternate arrangements. This was annoying at times, especially after tiring journeys. Also, the bottled water was a tad inadequate during whole-day car travels, though it was supposed to be covered by Salina.
Overall, we were quite satisfied with the arrangements made by and the competitive pricing of Salina. We will certainly recommend them to our friends and families who would like to undertake a journey of a lifetime in Kenya. We wish our very best to Charles, Teddy, John and everyone in Salina for their future.
Wonderful safari experience, easily organised
We organised a 2-day safari to Amboseli National Park at fairly short notice. Henry was super responsive to all queries and questions, and very patient in splitting, re-sending and troubleshooting payment options with us, and overall made the experience very easy to organise. Our guide Victor was friendly, informative and good company, and we learned a lot from him! Victor was really knowledgeable and we saw lots of animals, and learned lots of interesting facts about the animals and Amboseli. Victor also went to lots of effort to make sure we got the best photos possible (e.g. turning the car so we could see animals with a backdrop of Kilimanjaro behind them). Our accommodation was lovely, comfortable and had great food and wonderful views of the mountain in the morning... although unfortunately we were not staying long enough to enjoy many of the amenities.

Very warm and thoughtful service
I compared three companies at the same time. There is not much difference in price, but Henry's service is the most professional.

Great package, great value, great driver, great experience, see details in review below.
My family and I recently embarked on an unforgettable safari trip with Salina Wild Adventures, and it was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we set off, it was clear that our English-speaking driver was not only knowledgeable but also passionate about wildlife and conservation. He provided insightful commentary throughout the journey, enriching our experience with fascinating facts about the animals and the ecosystem.
The path design of the safari was meticulously planned, ensuring that we could witness a wide array of wildlife in their natural habitats without causing any disturbance. It was a perfect blend of adventure and education, allowing us to appreciate the beauty of the wild up close while understanding the importance of preserving it.
Moreover, Salina Wild Adventures proved to be incredibly kid-friendly. The paths were safe and easily navigable, making it comfortable for families with children to explore. The driver was patient and engaging, often pointing out sights that would interest the kids and answering their myriad of questions with enthusiasm.
This safari trip was an extraordinary adventure that combined learning with fun in a way that was accessible for all ages. Salina Wild Adventures has truly created an experience that not only respects the wild but also leaves its visitors with a deeper understanding and appreciation for nature. It's an experience we'll cherish forever, and we can't wait to return.
