3 DAYS MASAI MARA
3 days of incredible safari adventures in Masai Mara
Grayton Expeditions organized a 3-day safari staying in Mara Sopa lodges for us and our friends. We had the most amazing time and experience, with some truly unforgettable encounters with numerous animals in particular elephants, lions, and cubs, leopards and cups, hippos, plus of course the various antelope species, warthog, zebra, and what turned into my favorite the incredibly graceful giraffe. the lodge was luxurious and very comfortable.
The staff were friendly and helpful and the Driver/guide, in particular, was informative and very good at his job. The food was great, too much of it at times but always delicious. Thoroughly enjoyed this experience, and because of the effort Grayton Expeditions put in behind the scenes, we didn't have to think about anything. All the transfers were in place and the lodge was brilliant. Cannot recommend highly enough. Will use them again in the future.

It was hard to communicate with them until we found the WhatsApp number then it was good
Seemed a bit rushed, but covered a lot of ground in 7 days.

Great Safari with Grayton Expeditions
We've recently returned from our second safari with Grayton Expeditions this time to Kenya We had a wonderful 7 Days private Safari, visiting 3 areas the Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli National park, the Masai Mara which my wife loved so much because of the expansive Savanh and the balloon safari which was marvelous, we saw an amazing number of animals including Lions, Leopards, Rhino and so many more, At the Lake Nakuru we had a chance to ride on the boat and also we saw the endangered rothschild's giraffe and White rhino the lake was full of flamingos and other birds, lastly we went to Amboseli There we had a chance to sight see Mount Kilimanjaro and the massive Elephants with large tusks. Then before we knew it our safari was almost over, we had two more nights at Amboseli which felt like coming home.
Huge thanks to Sandra the Safari specialist and Aron our drive/guide whose knowledge for all national parks and flora and fauna was amazing and all the teams at all the lodges that we called home at that time of our safari made our safari more memorable.
Thank you Grayton Expeditions for your prompt answering our email and well arranged Safari, I will not hesitate to recommend Grayton Expeditions to anyone who would like to visit East Africa.

Fabolous 7 Day safari with Grayton Expeditions for my family as we were celebrating our 5 years wedding anniversary, I contacted several companies but Sandra was more convincing as she answered all our questions, being that it was our first time to be in East Africa.
She made all the arrangements our pick up at the air port and transfer to our hotel in Nairobi.
Our safari was starting the following morning with high expectations, Our travel expert, was with us from the beginning to the end to make sure everything was in order. We manage to sight see the big 5 Lions, Elephants, Buffalos, Rhino's and Leopards with many other birds.
Our accommodate was nicer then expected and we had lots of food and water.
I will definitely use this company for my future trips to Africa. At every camp and hotel, the warm and welcoming people went out of their way to make our stay special, including several private, romantic dinners in honor of our 5th anniversary. On a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the highest, we rate Grayton Expeditions 5+! We look forward to the next time we will travel with Grayton Expeditions.
Thank you again for all your help in making our anniversary Safari a reality.

Marvelous
My experience with Grayton Expeditions was Amazing all my expectations were meet according to the experience and adventure I wanted me and my family to enjoy.I went on a 8 day safari,on arrival from the airport we were picked up with a luxury car that took us to our hotel the food was amazing throughout the safari as we requested vegan cuisine.We visited a couple of national parks and game reserves Maasai Mara,Lake Nakuru,Hells Gate and Amboseli.
Our driver guide Ray was well informed in all the destinations we visiting he made the experience more exciting by showing us where the big five like to visit on there daily basis we managed to see leopard lions elephants and wildebeest and more animals.
I will have to visit again because my family enjoyed this visit and I will definitely refer my friends and family to use Grayton Expeditions every time we visit East Africa.

Great operator
This was one of a lifetime safari 8 day private safari which I was offered with Grayton Expeditions, our first interaction with Sandra was amazing as she was guiding us in all the steps of what we asked and what to carry on the safari, she also help us to choose the best luxury lodges around the parks that we visited that is Masai Mara, lake Nakuru, lake Naivasha and Amboseli national park, we were forunte to sight see the elusive leopard and the rest of the big 5.
Our drive was Dan Castro who was every step of the safari was helpful, knowledge about the wildlife and birdlife in the parks.
I will always recommend Grayton Expeditions to any one who need a smooth safari in Kenya see you next time in my future safari.

GRAYTON : Reactive and customer oriented
Sandra took very good care of us. I had a lot of questions and she was very responsive and helpful. Sandra also helped me get my train tickets and at each stage of the Safari tour, I was able to contact her without any difficulty. The tour was completely adapted to the desired format. We did it in English (we are french ) and it is totally possible for people with some knowledge to understand and be understood. It was great because we were with several nationalities during our safari tour. Thanks again Sandra !
This safari tour ( 7 days for Maisai Mara, Amboseli, Nakuru, hell's gate and Naivasha lake) with a mix between camp and hôtel was at a very interesting price.
Please note, during the low season, the organizers group differents people from different safaris in the same jeep/ bus. We didn't know it and we discovered it on the first day. No difficulty afterwards, however you must remain agile, if it's the case. We had a total of 3 different drivers over the 7 days. Everything went as stated in our initial plan.
I'll add a small note: hell's gate is a chargeabne option (800 kes bike + 2000 kes park entrance). Also in Amboseli you can take a morning walk at the foot of Kilimanjaro with the camp manager (10 USD). It would be interesting to add these options in the initial guide.
If you want more explanation, you may have to take a private tour. We got a few thingd from our drivers and they responded when we had questions. We were lucky to have good drivers who always found the best spots to see the animals.
In terms of accommodation and meals, it's very basic but it was enough for us. We didn't ask for a luxurous tour but a very basic one so we shouldn't expect anything spectacular. On the other hand, the last accommodation, a camp facing Kilimanjaro, was great. This is the one we preferred.

Perfect duration to see all animals
All in one: the 6 days were the right duration to become the best experiences from safari! Definitely the best parks- Masai Mara and Nakuru. Our driver James was very helpful and did really great job to bring us so close to animals:)

Non-fussy 4 days/3 night Mt. Kenya
I did the 4 days/3 night Mt. Kenya hike solo with Kelvin as my guide. Kelvin was great, limited English but it was still good. I chose the cheapest option, so camped all 3 nights. The entire trip included a guide and cook. The food was okay (ramen/beans/bread). If you aren't looking for luxury this is a good affordable option. Kelvin and I took the public bus to the town closest to the park entrance from Nairobi. I think it was 3 hours. Had lunch before the hike. I think I paid $530 for everything.
