Just excellent!
I booked a customized 5nights/6days private safari with Safari Update Travel for my mum and me and it was just wonderful. I have been to Africa many times before, but for her it was the very first time below the Sahara.
I gave the intended itinerary outline to Safari Update Travel and they organized all the details around it and were there for all inputs from our side not only in the planning stage, but also during the Safari, so that we got exactly the experience that we were looking for. And what an experience it was, from the beginning. Our guide and driver Ken was there throughout our whole Safari with knowledge, inputs and suggestions and just his cool presence, making all the driving quite enjoyable.
We opted for a mix between active and passive experiences, starting with a boat ride and nature walk with giraffes, zebras and all kind of gazelles at lake Naivasha, followed by a full day of hiking for me to Mt. Longonot, with some time to enjoy more of the lake and animals for my mum and visiting town in the afternoon to get some local Kenyan vibes. We continued to Nakuru National Park for our first Safari drive, stopping for another nature walk on the way. And Nakuru National Park has just a beautiful landscape with lot’s of animals. From there we continued to Ol Pejeta Conservancy. But Ken knew that on the way we would not only stop at monuments which mark the equator line and give nice photo opportunities , but also brought us to the Thomson waterfalls, which are quite spectacular and have a nice small trail to reach their bottom where one could even go for a dip in the cold river waters and natural pools.
We spent two nights in Ol Pejeta Conservancy where we could organize game drives with Ken according to our wishes (early morning, afternoon or evening how often and for how long we’d liked to) and sign up for any of the parcs other activities. On the drives Ken showed us heaps of elephants, buffaloes, gazelles, hyenas, shackals, rhinos with calfs, giraffes and we even got close up to lions with cubs. There basically were animals everywhere.
On top we visited Ol Pejeta’s rescue chimpanzees, their old blind black rhino Baraka which likes to be fed and petted and the last two Northern White Rhinos which are residents in Ol Pejeta and guarded 24/7.
Safari Update Travel organized all the accommodation on a full board basis, in all three places located very conveniently and two of them with beautiful gardens. Staff was very nice, smiley and attentive in all places and food was excellent and well catered for our vegetarian preference.
I guess we were especially lucky as we went in off season, the ‘rainy’ season of April, which allowed us to have many places and visits all to ourselves. And it only showered in the late afternoons and never more than an hour or so. In many places it was only us and the local guides who were very knowledgeable, giving us a very private experience without the masses.
Really beautiful country and people to visit!
Would book any time again with Safari Update Travel!

Very reliable and efficient.
Silas was very helpful and prompt. There were issues with our reservations at Serena Sweetwaters which caused a major upset with us. But Silas was on top of it and acted on our behalf. Because of his professionalism, our rough experience turned into a great experience! We will always go with him for our future trips. We highly recommend his services!

Safari Update Travels operated 100% customer-centric and went many extra miles for us. Amazing!
Booking process: I requested a quote and during the planning Silas customized a lot for us. Together we weighed the options and came up with the perfect plan. We were probably not the easiest customer due to a lot of extra wishes and accommodation requests but Silas made it all happen for us 🙏🏻
Safari itself: The Safari was well organized. Our driver was always on time. We had a great time together in the group, laughed a lot and also received much information about the animals. All in all an amazing experience!
My personal recommendation: I really liked the Lake Nakuru Sopa Lodge because it is right in the park and you have the best view waking up.

Fantastic Trip! Couldn’t ask for more!!
We read a lot of reviews on the Internet about this company before booking with them. I must say the staff are the friendliest and most helpful people. We had such a fantastic time— the flights were great, the lodge (resort) was huge and beautiful with a rich buffet for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and our local tourguide Peter is absolutely killing it! Ask him anything about any wild animal that you come cross, for sure he’s already have the answer for you.
We had such a fantastic time, and nothing to complain

Andrew was absolutely phenomenal. He was kind, funny and make the experience absolutely seamless.
The safari was great! We were able to see alot of animals out in nature. Andrew did a great job of showing us the sights and also giving us alot of informed on the various animals we saw. He was very knowledgeable and took his time answering our questions. We were able to see some stuff we've only ever seen on national geographic (two male lions hunting and eating a buffalo - it was a sight to see).
Andrew also helped us get settled into our hotels. Thank you very much for such great service.
