Safari trip of a lifetime to see the best of Kenya and Tanzania
The 11 night tour that Lucy organised for us through Kenya and Tanzania was amazing. We had the most wonderful time and the amount of wildlife we saw was incredible with some rare viewings of big cats hunting etc and thousands of other animals. We saw the big 5 within 2 days and many more times after that too. We visited Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara, Lake Victoria, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire and Amboselli.
The itinerary was perfect, we were driving for long periods most days with early morning starts and picnic lunches but we knew about that in advance from the itinerary so it wasn't a problem. We really wanted to maximise our time in the parks seeing the wildlife for photography which we definitely achieved with our busy itinerary.
Overall we preferred driving in Kenya to Tanzania as it was at a more relaxed pace. Because of the longer distances to be covered each day in Tanzania some of the driving was faster on very bumpy roads and tracks, some people may prefer a slower pace and a shorter itinerary because of this. Both of our driver guides Kim in Kenya and Geovanni in Tanzania were excellent, very friendly, gave us lots of interesting information and knew where to take us for the best game viewing. We saw such fantastic sights in both countries we could not really pick a favourite, there were so many highlights every day.
The accommodation and food standards varied with the lodges being more luxurious than tented camps but we enjoyed the experience of staying at all of them. For us the best rooms and surroundings were at Marera Mountain View Lodge which was such a beautiful place to stay but all the others were of a good to very good standard. Staff everywhere are very helpful and friendly and the food is plentiful with a good variety.
Lucy's help and advice planning our excellent trip of a lifetime was greatly appreciated. Philomena was also great meeting us at Nairobi airport on arrival late at night and joining us for the drive back at the end of our trip.
We highly recommend Mara Triangle to anybody who may be thinking of an African safari holiday in future.
The tour operator was helpful and responsive
My friends and I did a 6 day safari from Ambesoli to Lake Nakuru to Maasai Mara. The communication in booking was timely and all questions that came up as the safari was coming up were responded to quickly. We were provided with an excellent tour guide driver. The driver had an incredible depth of knowledge that he shared in a delightful way as you learn about the areas and the animals. He managed to get the land cruiser in good locations to get great views and pictures of all sorts of different animals. The lodging was all in properties with incredible views and wonderful helpful staff. My friends and I had a great experience.

Helpful
My friend and I wanted to book a Kenya/Tanzania safari tour. Lucy from Mara Triangle Safari was very helpful, super responsive and worked with us to create a great itinerary. Lucy took her time to tailor the initinerary based on our requirements. She was friendly and patient. Unfortunately, we were unable to go ahead with the booking. However, I recommend Lucy and with Mara Triangle Safari for their stellar service and dilligence.

Brilliant Safari
Incredible holiday!
We organised this 3 week safari holiday ourselves direct with Lucy.
She planned a brilliant itinerary and nothing was too much trouble.
We made quiet a few changes and every time Lucy made sure we were getting the best service possible.
Our destinations, accomodations, game drives and extra sctitivies were wonderful.
Booking direct with Lucy is safe, easy and a great itinerary is guaranteed.
Our driver Kasimba is a legend!
We've done 9 safari type holidays and Kasimba is stand out great!
His knowledge of the areas, animals, and local customs is extensive.
His 4 wheel driving ability absolutely incredible as is his on road driving.
Kasimba gave us so many laughs made sure we enjoyed every moment of our holiday.
His commitment to putting us first and keeping us safe was his first priority.
We highly reccomend Mara Triangle Safaris

Great experience
We did the Tanzania and Kenya Safari with Mara Triangle Safaris. We had two guides, one for each country and both were great.
We saw the big five and learned a lot of new things about animals.
They were both excelent drivers and took care of us all the way.
We definitely recommend them.

Awesome experience
This week we went on the 6 days budget Safari tour with Mara Triangle, visiting Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboselli. With his big smile, positive energy and a talent to each time find the right spot to watch the wildlife, our driver and guide Bonnie made it an awesome experience (Asante Sana Bonnie!!). We were also very lucky to see many animals, including many baby animals like a baby rhino and baby lions! The accommodation and food was all well arranged, including for those of us who are vegan and vegetarian. Not only the tour itself was a positive experience, but also the contact with Mara Triangle prior to the safari was very positive. Whenever we had any questions, they were always quick to reply.

Punctual, prompt and friendly
We booked a 6 day safari with Mara Triangle Safaris, staying at Amboseli, Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara national parks.
Each park was quite distinct from the other, and accommodation was spacious, clean and comfortable. To best describe them, imagine the tent at the Quidditch match in Harry Potter. Much larger and more luxurious than it appears from the outside. Meals at each location were plentiful and delicious. At Amboseli resort, Kibo Safari Camp the food was the best.
Lake Nakuru Lodge had the best coffee, and at Zebra Plains Mara Camp there were 2 comfortable fire pits for cooler evenings, and pleasant views of passing antelope, zebra and giraffe from the dining area. Lions and Hyena could also be heard at night in the last two camps.
As you are seeing game in its natural habitat, there is no guarantee that you will see all the animals you hope for, but we were lucky to see everything we hoped for, including the Big 5. On our first evening game drive in Masai Mara we saw 11 lions at a fresh buffalo kill, a cheetah and a leopard all within an hour.
Our guide, Francis, has 15 years experience, and had an excellent knowledge of each park. On 2 occasions he somehow positioned us perfectly for the appearance of a pride of lions, allowing us to get some fantastic, close-up shots.
I have no hesitations in recommending Mara Triangle Safaris for a safe, comfortable and fascinating exposure to African wildlife

Dream trip
I wanted to leave a recommendation for Mara Triangle Safari. We spent in total 6 days in Kenya - 2 in Mara, 2 in Lake Nakuru and the other two in Ukunda enjoying the paradise beaches in the area. The organization was excellent, our guide, Ken, did his best so we could see all the savage animals (we managed to see the big 5) and he always accommodated all our requests (we will miss him so much). The accommodations were excellent, much better than we expected and the person with whom we booked the trip, Lucy, was checking on us during the trip to ensure that we were happy and enjoying. Thank to Ken and Lucy we didn't worry about anything except enjoying this amazing trip. We have no doubts that whenever we go back to Kenya it will be with them again.

Accommodating and straight forward throughout the whole process!
From the moment we decided to use Mara Triangle Safari for out holiday we were looked after very well. Lucy was our travel organiser and communicated very clearly. She arranged a wonderful itinerary for us including 3 national parks with game drives everyday. If we needed any extras, Lucy made sure we were looked after and all for a very reasonable price!
David was our driver and guide. He was brilliant and catered to all our needs. Looked after us all 5days and was flexible if we needed to adjust any plans. Superb driving skills and really friendly.
I would definitely use Mara triangle Safari again and encourage others to use them too.

A once in a lifetime safari !
Kenyan/Tanzanian Safari 2022
We loved our Kenyan/Tanzanian Safari from start to finish. Thank you Lucy and Mara Triangle Safari's for giving us the best package and driver/ guide, Julius. He was extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of the Safari. He navigated difficult terrain in the parks and on unpaved roads. He guided us along the way and got us up close, to the animals, for the best shot. Our 6 day Safari, started at Nairobi to Amboseli National Park, (2 nights), Lake Naivashu (overnight), water safari, and Lake Nakuru park and the best for last, the Masai Mara (2 nights). Our driver/guide, Julius also rightfully, recommended the Balloon Safari over the Masai Mara, at sunrise. That was an incredible experience to see the wildlife from a 1000 feet.
