Excellent
Everything was very well arranged. Hotels, drivers and knowledgeable guides. We saw everything we wanted and even more.
We were with the kid of 3 y.o., and the special seat for him was also arrange (I think it was brand new or very close to be new).
Among all the companies I talked to I found communication with Martin the most efficient and tailored to the request. The replies were swift and clear.
Thanks Martin and team, would recommend the company to everyone!

Exceeded all expectations!
I'm writing this review one week after our return to Italy, because I wanted all the strongest emotions to soak in, in order to write a review as impartial and useful as possible.
I need to admit that this is quite impossible: yesterday I rewatched the first "The Lion King" and cried as a baby, and this time not only for Mufasa's death, but for each landscape and animal that I've recognised inside the cartoon, and that our perfect guides, Martin and Samuel, were able to spot in the wilderness and show to us.
It's difficult to express how wonderful our first safari was, and how it exceeded all our expectations, thanks to Earthwings.
During the planning phase, I spoke with lots of local agencies in order to ask quotations and assemble itineraries for my 7 days adventure: Martin made the best impression, always so kind and punctual with his answers, always flexible to find together the most suitable solution. I'm also quite paranoid and perfectionist when it comes to planning a trip, especially when it's a quite expensive one like a safari, so kudos to Martin for dealing with me always gracefully and courteously. :)
I need to admit that I was afraid to wire a lot of money for our down payment (usually our trips are way cheaper and with no need to anticipate such amount of money to anyone :)), but Martin proved absolutely trustworthy.
Coming to the safari itself, we were absolutely lucky to have not only Martin, but also Samuel to be our drivers and guides along all the parks we visited. I honestly did not expect to have two people with us... but when I realised how big (and slow) distances are in Kenya, it was clear that it would have been impossible for just one person to manage all that!
They were both very safe and careful drivers on "normal" roads, but also on parks trails... and most of all they were both formidable animal-spotters. Furthermore, they didn't just point at animals, but they also supplied lots of information about them and about nature in general. They really provided an incredible added value to our experience.
We were also able to see all the Big Five, and the precise moment when we spotted our last one, the leopard, is already the best moment of my 2025... and even if there are still more than 11 months to go, I think it will stay firmly at least in my personal top three. ;)
...Finally, most of all, Martin and Samuel really are the nicest human beings. We were happy to see them in the morning, happy to spend the day with them, happy to share meals. I know that it was work for them, and I'm not sure they were so happy to wake up often at sunrise for us :D ...but they were really able to make our experience wonderful also from a "human" point of view.
I could tell one thousand things more, but I'm afraid I would just bore you. ;)
I hope I was able to let you feel at least one ounce of the joy I was able to experience in my week aroung Tsavos, Amboseli, Nakuru, Masai Mara and Naivasha parks.
Go with Earthwings... you will not regret it.

Very professional
We had a 14 days Kenya and Tanzania trip with Earthwings, we are very happy with the way they managed the logistics as the cross country trip can be tricky. We had very smooth transitions between boarders.
Also the tour guilds are amazing. We had John and Rubeun. John has unbelievable naked eye vision that he can spot rare animals from miles away. Rubeun knows all the spots that make great pictures. All the guilds are very knowledgeable about the parks and animals. Overall we had a very memorable family trip.

Best tour operator in all of Kenya
Earthwings was absolutely incredible. They are highly professional, great communicators, and took us on the best safari. My partner and I booked a private jeep tour of Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru, and we had an amazing time. Our guide, John, is very experienced and taught us so much about the nature, animals, and region. He was the reason our experience was so fantastic. The camps booked for us through Earthwings were great and we felt very taken care of. We loved our time on Safari through Earthwings, and highly recommend them. We will book with them again if we have the chance.

Fantastic and Responsive!
Earthwings and Martin is the most responsive tour operator among 20+ operators we have contacted with. That's why we chose them at the first place. Martin answered every question and coordinated everything. Our Safari guides Rubeun and John did great jobs finding animals, spots and angles for photographing. We had a great time in our first trip to Africa and first safari. We will absolutely return and do another safari with Earthwings.

Unforgettable Safari
Earthwings Tours and Martin gave us an unforgettable trip to Amboseli, Lake Nakuro and Masai Mara. We could not have wished it better or any different.
Everything went smooth from the first contact planning the trip to our farewell in Nairobi after 7 intensive days driving on the busy roads of Kenya and Long but exciting game drives seeing thousands of animals close up. Never a dull moment. Martins Knowledge about all the animals but also about the Culture of Kenya was amazing. His driving skills are just as amazing. On top of This he is a very pleasant person and Good Company .
We highly recommend Earthwings Tours

Professional, warmhearted, big knowledge
We researched several tour operators, and it was quite difficult to find the best option in advance. However, when we came across Earthwings Tours and Safaris, we were professionally looked after from the very first minute. They provided a clear overview of each day, allowing us to submit our preferences and create a personalized tour. We received prompt responses with adjustments to suit our wishes.
About one week before our arrival, we were contacted to finalize the remaining details.
Start of the Tour: On the first day, we were warmly welcomed by Martin and our guide, Paul. Our 6-day tour took us through the Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Amboseli, and Tsavo West. Paul took excellent care of us, sharing his extensive knowledge about everything from the Big Five to the local vegetation. He made every effort to provide us with the best views of the animals.
Throughout the 6 days, we maximized our game drives, starting early in the morning and continuing until after sunset.
We highly recommend Paul, who has over 15 years of experience. Within just two days, we saw the Big Five and many other animals.
Thank you for an incredible safari experience and we hope to return someday!

Cannot recommend highly enough
We had a wonderful tour in Lake Nakuru and the Maasai Mara with Earthwings. Martin was excellent at speaking through all of the arrangements and setting up the booking before we arrived. Especially as we had quite specific requirements as we were travelling with our 9 and 6 year olds and wanted to make sure we included a variety of activities for them, but nothing was a problem to be organised. The tour itself was excellent - our driver Fredrick was very knowledgable and friendly, and was great with our kids. The 4x4 vehicle was perfect for our trip, and was in great condition and comfortable. All of the itinerary ran like clockwork - we had a thoroughly enjoyable time. Thanks very much Earthwings, and hope to visit again!

Well organised and exciting
We had a great time, saw loads of animals, and enjoyed beautiful wild scenery. We were safe and comfortable, and our guide and everyone at the parks made a lot of effort to make sure we enjoyed our stay.
