Amazing 5 Day Giant Trails Safari
My Wife and I recently went on Reny's 5 Day Giant Trails Safari, and we can honestly say that the whole experience from start to finish has been exceptional. After requesting a quote here I spoke directly with Japheth, who was very patient with my many questions, and minor adjustments. he was also very conscientious throughout the safari, regularly getting in touch to check everything was going as expected, and meeting us at the hotel once the safari was over, where he helpfully arranged to transport us to an additional excursion I had planned to the Giraffe sanctuary in Nairobi, saving us the bother of arranging a taxi journey.
The Safari itself was excellent. From the time we were picked up form our hotel our guides Elisha and Frederick were excellent. Elisha, the driver in particular was a regular source of fascinating facts, whether about the animals themselves, the parks, or about the people and culture of Kenya in general. The guides worked flexibly with us to ensure we had the maximum time out on our game drives, and were about at the best times to see as much of the abundant wildlife as we could.
Overall, you could not ask for a better Safari, well organised, an incredible tour of Tsavo and Amboselli, great accommodation, and just as importantly, a very reasonable price. If we come back for another Safari again, we will definitely be giving Reny a call.
Very good, as usual!
In September 2024 3 friends and myself booked a 3 weeks safari in Kenya with Reny Safaris. Since 2016 it was already my 8th time with that same local tour operator! And once again they proved to be very reliable and flexible! No breakdown (a car in good shape is very important on this kind of trip), no flat tires ... In the past we had different drivers, but since last year we are having Elisha Opollo as our driver and guide: someone I can recommend without a shadow of a doubt!
We spent 10 days in the Masai Mara, still the best game park to see lions, leopards and cheetahs! It is true that it can get crowdy with cars (and tourists) when something special is happening, but your chances to see the predator cats are very high in the Masai Mara! Unfortunately, the Narok County increased the entrance fees to the Masai Mara to an outrageous level: they are charging 200 USD/person per day from July till December; and 100 USD in the rest of the year!!! Of course, Reny Safaris cannot help about this: it was a political decision by local authorities.
We saw several kills in Masai Mara, and a lot of wildebeests that had crossed the Mara on their annual migration from Tanzania to Kenya.
The remaining 10 days were spent on game drives in Amboseli, Tsavo East and Tsavo West: these parks are very different from the Masai Mara; they are very dry, so fewer animals to be seen, but still interesting thanks to different species and a lot of different birds, especially in Amboseli! Not forgetting the beautiful landscapes, for instance the one you get when you're staying at the Voi Safari Lodge in Tsavo East!
After 3 weeks of intense safari, the 4 of us flew back to Belgium with a lot of good memories to cherish!
Excellence service and helpful guidance
I booked this directly with Japheth at Reny and couldn't be happier. My family had a great experience. Our guide was excellent. Very professional. Answered all our questions. Great and fast communication- before, during, and after the safari. Had our own van for family of four. Lots of room. The van was a bit bumpy - it was difficult to take a nap sometimes, but it was great value overall. Our guide happily accommodated our requests for specific stops and diversions here and there. We highly recommend Reny Safaris!
Tour Operator was Mr Japhet and tour Guide was Mr Martin
I would love to thank Mr Japhet for his nonstop support and communication with me. As I had many questions and queries but Mr Japhet was always there to answer them. He assisted me in getting the best accommodations and best package with the places I wanted to go. He ensured that I do have a memorable tour with him and his tour guide. My tour agent Mr Japhet and Mr Martin my tour guide did wait for me and husband until we come out of the airport. My Tour agent Mr Japhet also visited us after our tour so bid us farewell. So kind of him to do that. Hope Mr Japhet and Mr Martin progress in their career ahead as they are doing a great job.
My Tour Guide Mr Martin was exceptional, knowledgeable and Strong man. He never made me and my husband feel uncomfortable. He ensured we enjoyed our experience. We did made few jokes on our way to our tour but he ensured we had a safe and comfortable journey. Mr Martin ensured we see the Big 5 and we get to see the animals very close and take pictures. He ensured we have enough pictures and videos. He is a very knowledgeable man. I salute for a man so knowledgeable.
Our tour was in the peak season. Due to Migration of animals and the wild beest. So our tour was value for money, expensive. However It was the best decision at the right time.
My tour was as follows Amboseli 2 nights Lake Nakuru 1 night and Masai Mara 2 nights.
We stayed in the following accommodations with meals onboard.
Amboseli Tulia Camp.
Lake Nakuru Sarovar Lion Hill Game Lodge.
Masai Mara Sentrim Mara Lodge.
I would say Tulia camp was one of the best accommodations. As our tent was right across the forest and we could see the animals in front of us. The camp was super clean and the staff was so kind and polite they ensured we had an amazing dining experience.
The fireplace was great and view below the night sky with the chilly weather made it romantic.
They also offered us picnic boxes which was filled with a lot of items to eat. Great way to enjoy your tour with the nature.
Sarovar Lion hill game lodge was great experience. They had an amazing place to see different kinds of birds in their hotel. They actually dedicated a space for the birds and a detailed information is given across the bird feeding place. Their food was amazing as well. The staff was polite as well. They ensured that we dined for our Lunch, dinner and Breakfast.
Please cross check with the hotel reception if your tour guide is staying with you or is having an accommodation. As it is not fair that My your guide Mr Martin had to go and stay in another hotel as we arrived little late.
Sentrim Masai Mara lodge was another camp for us to explore. At first we seen monkeys but they were not harming. Tents were cute.
Food was great. They did have an amazing bar and a fire place to explore as well.
Sentrim Mara Staff can be a bit better and polite with tour guides as I felt bad for my tour guide as here as well they did not provide any information if he will be staying with us in the same accommodation or not. I had to cross check with the reception if my tour guide is having a room to stay or not.
You have to take care of your tour guide as they are the ones who make your vacation a memorable and exceptional one.
Amazing trip with Reny safaris!
Our trip was fantastic with Reny safaris, Japheth orgainsied everything extremly well for us, met us at the airport where we went strainght down to Amboseli, we had 2 days at amboseli where we saw everything there was to see from the moment we left the lodge for our afternoon drive. Baboons, huge herds of elephants, a cheetah, prides of lions, giraffes, hippos, flamingos, buffalo, zebra, wilderbeast as well as much more. Martin our driver was a really nice guy, very knowledgable about the park and all the animals, he went out of his way to make sure we saw everything available.
Tsavo east was our next stop where we stopped at a spring along the way and saw crocodiles and hippos up close in the river before getting to Ngulia lodge where we had lunch with a herd of elephants using the watering hole next to the lodge and had a visit from 3 leopards just before dinner, which was amazing.
We tried to find rhino's at the local sanctuary but they were all out for the day unfortunately. :-(
We went to Tsavo west the next day but on route we stopped at a buffalo kill that we had seen the day before where a male lion came along and resued his kill from vultures and african wild dogs. Along the way we saw multiple herds of elephants and groups of giraffes. On our evening drive, Martin found out about another kill where we saw a pride of lions feeding on it, one of the lionesses also had a cub, it was amazing! on our way back we saw another herd of elephants bathing in a big watering hole as well as more giraffes and other animals along the way. back at the Voi lodge there were elephants, buffalo and hyenas using the wateringhole near the lodge.
We then headed to Diani beach for a few days at the pool/beach which was an nice and relaxing few days after all the excitement of the safaris.
Japheth was in contact with us regularly along the way to make sure we had everything we needed.
Our group was 2 adults and 2 kids (11 +13) everyone had an amazing time, the kids loved every minute of the trip as did the adults.
We did 4 days safari, 5 days beach, I would thoroughly recommend reny safaris, Japheth and Martin did everything they could for us at a very reasonable price.
