Amazing experience in Kenya with Leisure Escape
I did a request on safaribookings.com and 3 agencies replied. Leisure Escapes Safaris replied very quickly but also very accurate and with a nice proposal. Comunication with Esther was efficient both via email and phone, she understood exactly what I wanted and this is very important to get the right safari for you.
We signed for a 7 days Safari from Nairobi including Amboseli, Tsavo West and Tata Hills Sancturary.
Our guide was very professional, always in time and very competent. We had no issues at all.
The car was comfortable with all the accessories.
All the hotels were booked correctly as we agreed and we ended up in beautiful lodges with beautiful rooms.
What I can say is Esther was amazing since the first contact to the end. We had 0 problems. Everything was organised in the minimal details and you can tell they care about their customers.
My personal suggestion is to choice, whenever possible, a lodge with the waterhole. Safari is tiring and search for animals sometimes don't give you so much.With the waterhole instead you can relax in your room or during dinner and see them in their normal day by day activities, undisturbed from cars

Attention to details
We booked our trip with Ester and Duncan was our driver/ guide. The itinerary was planned very well. The lodge(s) were inside the park and made it easier for early morning game drives. Duncan was extremely helpful and made certain we got to see the big 5 animals. We encountered an elephant in heat on two different occasions and Duncan made sure we were safe. Ester was able to assist with securing a vehicle for city trip of Nairobi as well.

Fantastically memorable
Our family had the pleasure of being shown the beauty of Kenya and the wonder of its Safari throuigh the eyes of Leisure Escapes.
From the outset, Esther was immensely helpful and beneficial to our trip planning with insights and suggestions on how we could make most out of the one week we had. Her collaborative approach and the years of experience were exemplified in how our safaris played out in reality!
Upon arrival into Nairobi we were welcomed by not only Esther, but also our driver and tour guide for the week - Duncan.
Duncan is very experienced and knowledgeable on all things safari and Kenya. He provided detailed insights on the culture, history and architecture of Nairobi and Kenya. But went above and beyond when discussing the wildlife on safari. His wisdom and familiarity of the road along with the observation of and involvement with the wildlife was truly magical.
We had the pleasure of visiting Amboseli (Mt Kilamanjaro), Masai Mara, Naivasha (Hells Gate).
My wife and I will treasure our unforgetabble african experince and I know that our young daughters will hold the safari adventures afforded to them courtesy of Leisure Escapes for many many years! Thank you -

Very organised and professional, great service
Our tour was tailored to suit exactly what we wanted. The response time was very quick and answered all my questions before we booked anything. The reservation and payment process was simple. The tour was very well reasonably priced compared to to others we had looked at and they were very open to changing the schedule to match exactly what our requirements were,
Our driver arrived promptly on the first day at our Nairobi hotel and gave us gifts from the company which was a lovely touch. Our boys loved the jeep and the on board water dispenser!
The tour itself was very well organised and ran like clock work. Its a very slick operation. I'd definitley recommend Safari tours - efficient, well-organised and excellent value for money.

5 day tour in 3 Safari Parks Amboseli, Tsavo West and Taita
All 3 parks and the accommodations with meals provides were extraordinary. We stayed at Ol Tukai Lodge, Salt Lick Safari Lodge and Taita Hills. All of high Quality, clean, comfortable and excellent food. The views from those places due to proximity of lakes or boreholes were amazing. We got very close to most animals and made amazing photos. Elefants, giraffes, lions, warthogs, buffalos, hyenas, Ostrich’s, hippos, crocodiles, all kind of Antelopes, cheetah, oryx’s, etc unfortunately we did not see a leopard and rhinos. Our driver and guide was James- he took well care of us and drove the landcruiser in a very safe manner! We can recommend this tour to others

Highly Recommend - Go with Leisure Escapes!
Our experience with Leisure Escapes Safari was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we began organizing our trip, Esther made the entire process stress-free and enjoyable. She was incredibly responsive, answering all our questions with patience and clarity, ensuring we felt confident and excited about our upcoming adventure. Esther also went above and beyond when helping me plan a surprise proposal with one of the lodges, and gave me suggestions on how to make this perfect.
We embarked on the 6-night, 7-day safari package, exploring the breathtaking landscapes of Amboseli, Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru, and Masai Mara. Each destination was phenomenal, offering its own unique charm and specialties. The lodges Esther booked for us were nothing short of amazing, perfectly situated in prime locations with exceptional service.
The journey was meticulously planned from the moment we left the UK. Every detail was taken care of, from our transfers prior to the safari, and the safari itself, and even our return to Nairobi from Mombasa. This seamless organization allowed us to fully immerse ourselves in the experience without any worries.
Once on safari, we were fortunate to have Duncan as our driver and guide who had over 20 years experience and absolutely loves his job. His knowledge of the wildlife was impressive, and his friendly demeanor made the trip even more enjoyable. Duncan had an uncanny ability to spot animals and provided us with fascinating insights about each one. He answered all our questions with enthusiasm and expertise, making our safari truly unforgettable. Duncan was also our photographer for the proposal and was willing to help without any hesitation.
Overall, I highly recommend Leisure Escapes Safari. Their attention to detail, excellent customer service, and knowledgeable guides ensure a remarkable and memorable safari experience.
P.S. Please get a drink with your driver at the bar of one of the lodges during your trip, they drive so much and put so much effort into making the experience special for you, and they appreciate it so much!!

Well organised and tailored
From the moment we enquired Esther was so helpful and ensured we had peace of mind throughout our trip that everything was well organised. We had an amazing safari travelling from Nairobi to Dianni beach via Amboseli and Tsavo national park!
