excellent tour operator with very experienced and friendly tour guide
5/5

I'm very happy that I booked the our trip in Kenya with Africa Starpal. James picked up from Mombasa airport, drove us to lodges where we had 4 day safari, then drove us to our Nairobi Hotel. Everything was just the way it should be and more and we had an amazing trip. Our guide was friendly and had an amazing eye for spotting wildlife. We felt safe and taken care of at all times. The accommodations proposed by Paul during planning were excellent, blending comfort with the authentic at Tsavo West with Saltlick lodge been the best.
Thank you:)

Right safari with the right team
5/5

My Mum and I went on this safari with Africa Starpal Safaris with Paul as organizer and Morris as our guide. We had an incredible time, and were fortunate enough to see the Big 5, plus many more animals!
Our guide, was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. He helped ensure we had everything we needed, and he made our safari entertaining and informative. We highly recommend this Operator, and thank you also for organizing our transfer from Nairobi to ithumba and to Nairobi.

We went for Kenya safari with Africa Starpal for 4 days covering 2 tsavos and Taita from Diani to Nairobi. It was a dream come true trip for us. This was our first time in Africa and Paul and Our Guide ensure we had a memorable trip. All our queries handled very swiftly before the trip. As I am a photographic enthusiast, Paul ensure I get a great guide and excellent , he made our trip very exciting. We will definitely recommend Starpal to anyone who wish to visit Kenya with them. Surely we will come back for more safari future in Kenya or other places.

Amazing week: relax and enjoy the safari
5/5

We had a great 7-day safari with Africa Starpal. The booking and communication with Paul was easy and our guide James was great: very hands on, easy going, flexible, he had really good eyes to spot the wildlife and was very knowledgeable about the animals. We were able to see all the animals we could expect. Thanks James and Paul for this unforgivable week.
Highly recommended!

An incredible trip: all big 5, incredible landscapes, efficient, trustworthy, flexible
5/5

We had an amazing trip: our operator Paul followed us step by step through the organization of the trip, giving us the opportunity to change details and tour stops, choose hotels and experiences. Paul was in touch and super responsive at all time. We were picked up on time and we started our safari with Bosco, our local guide, who was passionate, reliable, and had a huge knowledge of both the animals, communities and nature of Kenya. He went above and beyond to get us to see as many animals as possible, and we did see all the big 5 and many more, even a lions hunt in action! The hotels were awesome, particularly Salt Lick Lodge, which was unique! we were spoiled and always felt safe and flexible in our programming!

Absolutely suggest this safari operator, Paul and Bosco :)

For Paul and James, excellent communication and good value for money with the best guide
5/5

We have just concluded an unforgettable 8-day safari trip in Kenya, and we are grateful to African Starpal for providing us with such a remarkable journey.
Since April, we have had very pleasant communication with Paul, who has been attentive to my requests and provided detailed information about various aspects, including the number of safaris we could participate in, travel times and distances to different national parks, and the conditions of various hotels. He offered patient and effective advice and quotes, always considering my perspective, even when I made multiple adjustments to the number of participants. On the day we arrived, he made thoughtful arrangements and informed me of the itinerary in advance, helping me avoid any disruptions from a marathon event. Most importantly, without me even asking, he included the flight tickets to Samburu in his quote, and it was cheaper than other agencies, leaving me with no reason to choose anyone else.
Our guide, James, has incredibly sharp eyes. He often spotted special things in places where we couldn't even find them with binoculars. For instance, while others were focused on spotting the Big Five, he found over 20 unique bird species for us, which were stunningly beautiful. In Maasai Mara, he was often the first to lead us to lions and lion prides, allowing us ample observation time and the best viewpoints. Additionally, he is an excellent photographer, always finding great angles and frequently adjusting our positions to ensure we captured outstanding photos. Most importantly, he is very patient. In Samburu, we managed to photograph four cheetahs. Even though it was getting late and other vehicles had left, he knew we loved cheetahs and stayed for nearly 20 minutes, allowing us to clearly hear their calls.

Fantastic safari tour agency that I can recommend to anyone!
5/5

We had a fantastic time on our 3-day safari through Tsavo East and West with Africa Starpal Safaris. The arrangement of the safari was seamless and Paul was extremly responsive and friendly. Our main request for our safari was to start in Watamu and end in Nairobi. Paul and his team were very kind to make all the arrangement that we asked for and presented us with different personalized options. Our tour guide, James, was just as fantastic, very knowledgable and easy-going. Thanks to him, we saw a wide range of animals including lions and cheetahs. We could not have wished for a better safari, a big thank you to Paul and James for making this such a memorable experience for us! I can highly recommend Africa Starpal to anyone looking for a great safari experience in Kenya!

We had a lovely esperience with Africa Starpal Safaris. They were very prompt in replying to our messages/requests when dealing with them to book the service, providing us with all the information, alternatives and pricing according to our needs.
Once there, the guide was very helpful with all the aspects of the tour (turistic information, timing...) and the solutions proposed for our stay were perfect for our family. I would recommend Africa Starpal Safaris to the people who are interested to live a real authentic African experience!

Paul was knowledgeable, very helpful, good interaction at the beginning and end of our trip.
4/5

We were on a lowish budget trip but we still saw beautiful places, ate delicious food and had a great experience in Africa. Our guide tried very hard to cover enough ground so that the group saw the scenes and animals they had on their wish lists. Plenty photography stops and great images captured.
We did have a patch where we stayed at several lodges for one night only and my advice is to stay 2 nights minimum to cover the ground and also to leave enough time to relax and not be packing your bags every day. However we knew that at time of booking and that proved good for the young and energetic!
