Great Experience
We booked a 5-day tour with Antonio’s in August 2024 and stayed at Amboseli, Lake Naivasha and Maasai Mara for five nights. We met our driver Tony at our hotel in the morning on the first day and on the last day since our flight was at 11pm so we asked him to take us to the shopping mall and dinner. He dropped us off at the airport around 8pm. Through the trip Tony arranged the daily itinerary including check in at the camps, taking care of the park tickets and boat tour, planing stops to rest and shop on the route. He knows both parks and surrounding areas very well(driving without a map) and took us to see all the animals. The car was a modified Land Cruiser with open roof, one of those commonly used in safari. We booked Fairmont Mara Club ourselves and the company was able to customize the package based on that. All communication was done through WhatsApp and emails before the trip and once we got there we kept using WhatsApp with our driver Tony. We forgot to bring US 100 notes after 2009 (for counterfeit reasons) for the remaining balance of the tour but the company allowed us to pay with credit card. So please remember this if you don’t want to pay the 4% fee. Overall we will give a five star rating to the whole experience. Highly recommend.

Exceptional
Antonio provided an exceptional experience during our Safari. From the very beginning, when we started discussing our family package, he was incredibly attentive and fair, ensuring that all our needs were met. His careful and experienced driving made the journey from Nairobi to Maasai Mara smooth and enjoyable.
The services included in the package, such as camping tents, meals, and the balloon ride, were outstanding, delivered by a highly professional and caring staff. Antonio’s deep knowledge of the Maasai Mara and his connections within the community were evident—he was able to guide us to see all of the Big Five and many other amazing animals in just three game drives.
Antonio also found a perfect spot in the middle of the savanna for a memorable afternoon lunch. As someone who has lived in Kenya for the past year, I can confidently say that this is a top-tier service. We will undoubtedly book more safaris with Antonio in the future.

Professional, friendly and delivering on their promise of a wonderful experience
We had the pleasure of visiting Kenya and it's magnificent nature on safari with Antonio's Safari. Going with them was the best decision we made for our first safari trip. Our booker Naomi, listened to our wishes and put together a great presentation on where we would be going, what we would be doing and what was included. Her support was wonderful through out the process, responding quickly and answering all our queries. The accommodations for each place were wonderful, especially Kibo Camp in Amboseli!
At the safari our driver Benson was amazing. His knowledge of the surrounding nature gave us insight into the history of the savanha, it's people and it's animals. A wonderful person and guide.
Thanks again Antonio's Safari, we are very happy for the experience you provided us with.

Everything you could want in a guide and tour
Antonio was the best safari guide we could of asked for. He was extremely professional and really cared about our happiness. His driving was also very impressive. We always felt safe with him and our needs were his number one priority at all times. My dad's birthday was during our trip and he had contacted the hotel to sing to him with a birthday cake after dinner. There was also a birthday card waiting in his room when he returned from dinner. He made the day even that much more special. On the day of our departure we arrived very early to Nairobi and instead of dropping us at the airport to wait around for hours, he brought us sightseeing. I would highly recommend Tony and would use his services again whenever I return to Africa.

Amazing times in Masai Mara
We had an amazing time we Evans as our tour guide. Everything during the trip went smoothly. The communication was excellent. The company was able to customize our trip to our likings. Along the way they gave us various options to pick from to make our trip unique and special. A can say enough words about how lucky we were to be paired with Evans as our tour guide. He was extremely knowledgeable, passionate, and had amazing eye to spot animals. We spent 5 days together on the trip and at the end we felt like close friends. 100% recommend and hope to see them again in the future.

Immersed in the Wild: Our Incredible Journey with Antonio Safaris
The essence of going on a safari is the feeling of being immersed in the wild and nature, and that's exactly what we experienced. The only choice you have to make is to choose the right operator, and with Antonio Safaris, we made the perfect choice. From our first contact with Naomi, who helped and provided all the information we needed for our trip, everything was well planned, especially since we wanted a more private experience.
However, the most important part of the safari is having a good guide, and we had the best of the best with our tour guide, Evans. From the moment he picked us up until the last day, we not only had a guide but also a friend. Evans is someone who is passionate about his job and loves sharing the beauty of Kenya's wildlife. His deep knowledge of the savannah and excellent communication with other guides were key to finding and observing the wildlife in real-time. It was so incredible that we saw all of the Big Five in just one day. We also learned a lot about Kenyan culture.
With all that said, I can confidently say that Antonio Safaris has the best team. We are really glad that we had the opportunity to live this amazing experience with them.

Well organised Safari with great guide
Me and my wife booked a 5 day luxury safari with Antonio and his Team for our honeymoon. We checked a few different providers and the very professional looking offer was great and had by far the best portfolio of activities and details about what we would do. The communication with Naomi from the back office was easy and uncomplicated as she was always helpful and quick with the replies.
For the tour we got with Jack a very experienced and well established guide who knew were to look for the animals and also had some good connections to other guides. He was able to show us what the Parks had to offer. We got some awesome sightings and close encounters with Lions, Leopards, Cheetahs, many Elephants, many Giraffes, Buffaloes, Antelopes and many more.
The also offered balloon tour was another highlight on this trip.
We had an awesome time and can only recommend Antonio and his crew.

Very organized and great guide
If you are looking for a safari I highly recommend Antonio's. From the first minute I contacted them, Faith was very responsive and answered all my questions promptly. It was easy to customize our experience based on the activities we did or did not want to do which gave us a good value for the things that we did. Our flight was canceled so we had to make a last minute change and Faith was there to take care of it. You can rely on Antonio's to be there from beginning to the end.
Benson our experienced guide was absolutely fantastic. From the time he picked us up at the airport until he dropped us off 5 days later he was very attentive. We always knew what we were doing next and what times we were to meet back for our adventures and he kept the jeep clean. He went out of his way to locate the animals. He is an excellent driver which you need with the road conditions we encountered.
We took the Amboseli, Lake Navaisha and Masai Mara tour with the Ballon safari. The only thing about this tour is the longer drives to get to the locations. It's a great chance to see Kenya but the roads are full of potholes and there are a lot of trucks so it can be a bit bumpy and slow at times

Great Safari Experience
Had a great 5 day safari with them. They accommodated and customised every detail for us. Even they added a tour to Lake Naivasha on our request which was not even included in our package initially. Naomi and Jake were always there to make our experience even better.
