Good operator for first time experience!
4/5

We chose Kenya Bush Expeditions because the tours offered on SafariBookings fitted best to our holiday plans.
As we never did a Safari before we wanted to make sure to get a good all-in-one package.
This is exactly what we got!
From pick up in Nairobi to drop off at our desired place everything was organised.
We spent a lot of time in parks to discover landscape and animals.
Of course you need to be lucky to spot every animal you want to see (Big Five: check!), but our guide was a big plus in this. Even without seeing animals for a few hours we enjoyed the landscape a lot so no day felt wasted.
Communication with Kenya Bush Expeditions and our guide Peter was perfect. Days were planned good so it was a good mixture between relaxing and adventure.
For our taste there could have been a bit more flexibility regarding the daily schedule. Sometimes we had to leave the spot because of timing issues although we could have enjoyed the situation/scenery for a bit longer.
Overall we recommend Kenya Bush Expeditions to anyone who wants to experience their first safari.
Thanks to Peter who was patient, put a lot of effort in spotting animals and for driving us safely throughout the whole tour!

Nice Safari from Mombasa to Nairobi
5/5

We did a very cool Safari from Mombasa to Nairobi. We visited 3 different Nationalparks. Everyone was different. Because of our Guide Goffrey we got. To See the Big 5. He did everything he could to find the Lions for us. In the End we Even saw 8 of them. The Lodges were very nice. In the Evening even the Wildlife visited. It was an wonderful experience.
We were very happy with our tour and can only advise it. We had a Great Time.

Kind and supportive!
5/5

The coordinator responds very quickly and supportive. We can change our itinerary during the tour base on our needs, and the coordinator would keep in touch with our guide to make sure our request is done. Besides, our guide is also nice, has good moods all the way, introduced Kenya cultures and wildlife knowledge for us.
Thanks to them we have wonderful memories of this Kenya safari trip!

Lawrence was very knowledgeable and helpful
5/5

Our tour guide Lawrence was the best. He knew the times certain animals would be at certain locations. We had a modern vehicle with A/C and a giant removable roof. There was plenty of space for our group to stand to view and take pictures. We saw an assortment of animals from lions, zebra, wildebeest, giraffe, black and white rhinos, crocodile, hippo, baboons and hyenas. At no time did it feel unsafe. Next time we go to Nairobi this will be one of our first stops.

1-day Amboseli
4/5

We were very glad that we found 1-day Amboseli tour as we did not have enough time to visit it for longer period. Our driver was very experienced and professional. He took us for a great breakfast on the route. We were lucky and we have seen whole Kilimanjaro in the morning. Besides that we have seen all the animals we expected from this tour. Lunch was also very great!
However, we had a small problem with the payment, as they did not inform us in advance that it is not possible to pay by dollars older than 2016. So we had to pay by card with payment fee.

Everything perfect
5/5

We did the 3 night Safari in Amboseli, Tsavo East and Tsavo West. Everything was perfect, Geoffrey our driver picked us up at the airport and took us directly to the lodge. All three accommodations were beautiful, clean, good food and excellent staff. Geoffrey was great, very knowledgeable and friendly, the game drives lasted just the right amount so as not to be too tiring. Overall a wonderful experience to recommend to everyone!

The review below is the personal opinion of michela and not that of SafariBookings.
Not so good
3/5

We booked a 5-day Safari between Tsavo East-West, Taita and Amboselli. The quality of the facilities is very good however the time spent on the Safaris was very little (in fact we saw very few animals). Much of the tour was spent in moving from one park to another. We usually arrived at the lodge to check in around 12 noon and the guide took us to the safari directly at 3 p.m. for only two to one and a half hours. All this money for two hours a day of safari doesn't seem like the best.
We were finally very disappointed when we were taken to see the rhinos in the special reserve near Tsavo...the guide arrives there for 4:30 p.m. and after 20 minutes makes to leave since the park closes at 5 p.m.; but couldn't he have taken us there earlier?
finally, the guide did not seem the least bit knowledgeable to us and never wasted time looking for animals (he even came without a spotting scope!).

Good tour
4/5

The safari was really nice.

However Amboseli is the nicest to see, I would recommend to stay longer in this park. There is no much to see in Tsavo west (too many bushes).

The hotel are okay and well located except Amboseli where we were far from the reserve (50 minutes).

Our guide was really nice but it would have been great to have longer day (safaris start at 7 and end at 12).

Kenya Bush is a reliable organization and they are really reactive, you can trust them
