Professional, passionate and reliable. Great safari experience!
We had a wonderful 3 day safari experience with Laxatrails Safaris. Firstly the communication up front with Peter, went really smooth. We received quick answers to our questions and our wishes were taken into account
On the day of pick up we’ve met with our tourguide, who was also named Peter. During our ride to the Maasai Mara Peter told us not only about the wildlife, but also about the Kenyan culture and habits. A nice introduction of the country!
The first day we went to a Maasai tribe near Enkorok Mara Camp (where we stayed). We were welcomed by the tribe with a tradional dance and then got a tour through the Maasai village by one of the members. He told us all about their traditions and how they life. A very interesting way of learning more about the Maasai tribe.
The next day we had a whole day of safari planned. We woke up early and headed to the Maasai Mara. Which was in one word wonderful! The park met all our expectations and thanks to Peter we’ve spotted more wildlife then we dreamed of. Lions, elephants, hippos, crocodiles, cheetahs, giraffes, baboons and many more. We even saw two cheetahs live in action hunting for some prey. During the game drive Peter gave us a lot of information about the different animals and birds along the way.
The last day we went for a boat drive at Lake Naivasha, which was a relaxing way of ending our three day safari, before being dropped off at our next hotel.
Thanks for the great experience Peter and Peter!

Good driver, nice hotels, wonderful nature, car could have been better
Our driver Moses was very good and really managed to get us to the best spots to see the animals. Also, driving in the highway with traffic requires good skills and Moses did fantastic. Regarding hotels, they were really comfortable and the food was good. The only thing that could have been better is the car. We were told we were getting a 4x4 and that was not the case. After I complained we changed car, but had a detour of 2 hours to get the 4x4. The 4x4 we got was a very worn out toyota bus converted into a "safari car". I would strongly suggest to get a decent Toyota Landcruiser for your safaris (as 95% of people do).

5-Day Kenyan Safari Tour Review: Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Lake Naivasha
We recently embarked on a 5-day Kenyan safari tour to Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha, and Lake Nakuru, and it was truly an unforgettable experience! From the moment we were picked up, our tour guides, Dennis and Peter, exceeded our expectations. They were not only highly knowledgeable about the local wildlife but also incredibly friendly and easy-going, which made the whole journey even more enjoyable.
One of the standout aspects of this tour was how considerate our guides were regarding my wife's pregnancy. They went out of their way to ensure we were comfortable throughout the trip. They carefully selected the best roads to minimize any bumps and arranged for accommodations that were not only comfortable but also conveniently located. This attention to detail and genuine care made us feel safe and well taken care of at all times.
The safari in the Masai Mara was the highlight, with our guides expertly navigating the park and providing insightful information about the animals we encountered. We were lucky enough to see the "Big Five" and countless other species in their natural habitats. The boat ride on Lake Naivasha was serene, offering close-up views of hippos and a variety of bird species. At Lake Nakuru, we were mesmerized by the sight of a hunting lioness and even spotted a few rhinos.
Overall, this tour was a perfect blend of adventure and comfort. We highly recommend Laxatrails Safaris to anyone looking to explore Kenya’s stunning wildlife, especially if you’re looking for a tailored experience that considers your specific needs. Our guides truly made this trip a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and we couldn’t be more grateful!

Great safari experience with good communication and very customer focussed
What a brilliant trip! We did a 7 day safari with Laxatrails in the excellent company of Peter, an amazing, safe, reliable and knowledgeable driver and guide. Whilst accommodating ALL our wishes, he guided us through 4 Kenyan national parks, seeking out the very best of animal viewing and safari experiences.
Dennis joined us for 4 days too so between Peter and Dennis, we enjoyed double guiding; local knowledge, funny stories, updates in real time, vehicle modifications, lots of laughs, beautiful photo opportunities, and skilful driving. So many animals - the Big Five and the Ugly Five!. We really appreciated the way Peter and Dennis would know how to get the best viewing of the animals and were keen that we were satisfied at every turn. They certainly know their way around the huge expanse of the parks. The tweaks to our accommodation were dealt with as requested including an upgrade at one of the lodges, and we enjoyed bespoke features of our own private safari.
We were picked up in style from our accommodation in Nairobi, Peter helped us complete a key drop off, and at the end of the trip, we were dropped inside the grounds of our new accommodation so we felt very well supported and served for the whole 7 days.
We can't thank you enough for a trip of a lifetime. Thank you Laxatrails and the team

Friendly
I recently had a wonderful 7 day Safari with Laxatrails in Kenya and their service was excellent and accommodative to our needs.
The guide and the drivers were very flexible with our timings as we had travelled with kids. Also, despite difficult roads and terrains they ensured we had a comfortable and safe drive around Kenya.
The accommodation they provided were too good except for in Amboseli.
From the airport pick-up to drop-off, it was a pleasant experience to explore Kenya with Laxatrails!
