5/5

I have been on many safaris however this was my first solo which I did in order to maximize photo opportunities. Gibson was amazing and very communicative in helping to plan the trip, and guides Chris and Emmanuel were patient and resourceful in listening to my needs and finding animals.

Unforgettable 8 Day Kenya trip with lots of animals, amazing guide and reliable tour operator
5/5

We booked our 8-day Private Safari with Kiboko a few weeks ahead of our trip, and it went very smoothly. Gibson communicated excellently, and we made some changes to the tour, and he was incredibly accommodating and answered all our questions.

Our safari guide Chris was the best! He is not only an exceptional guide but also a great driver and conversationalist. He can read the room perfectly and knows when his guests want to chat and when they want to just rest. Chris was always on time and was flexible when we wanted to adjust the schedule slightly. We particularly appreciated Chris's extensive knowledge about animals and Kenyan culture, giving us more insights and understanding of how life is in Kenya. We saw lots of animals thanks to him and would highly recommend Chris as a guide in a heartbeat.

On our last day, we had some more time than expected due to a flight delay, and Chris made sure we could spend the extra hours in Nairobi. We were thrilled with the coffee farm tour, and he recommended a great restaurant for dinner before dropping us off at the airport.

Our favorite place was Samburu. It's a bit further off but worth the drive because of the scenery and tranquility during game drives! We even spotted rare twin baby elephants and saw a massive herd of elephants passing along the river from our hotel balcony (Samburu Simba Lodge, a special gem with the kindest staff). Next to Masai Mara, we would further recommend checking out Ol Pejeta Conservancy, especially to support their Rhino conservation efforts. And if you want to see elephants very, very close (and if you are lucky, experience the thrill of seeing hyenas hunting), then Aberdare - The Ark is the place to go.

Very Organised, hassle free
5/5

Travelling with Kiboko tours was the best decision to begin with, co originating with Gibson from the start was very comfortable and hassle free, our needs in regards to hotel, transportation and food(vegetarian) was met, Samuel was our drive and tour guide who drove around, we had wonderful conversations about each other’s cultures, he was very kind to us, without his keen interest of showing us around East Africa we wouldn’t have been able to see all the big 5! Thanks to Gibson, Sam and Kiboko tour team.

What a great tour guide and safari experience!
5/5

We feel fortunate to have contracted with Kiboko Tours and Travel for our 8 day Kenya Game Drives. Our driver, Samuel, picked us up at our hotel got us out-of-town and into the beautiful landscapes outside Nairobi. His knowledge of the areas, geography and animals were beyond our expectations. We were very pleasantly surprised at the lodges and camps that Kiboko had arranged. We found the food quality and selection excellent in every camp and this exceeded our expectations as well.

Knowledgable and friendly guides make for a memorable safari.
5/5

Going on safari was a lifelong goal for me and my wife, and after disciplined saving throughout COVID we saved enough to spend 11 days on safari in Kenya. I requested quotes from several safari operators. Fortunately, my choice was easy -- Kiboko Tours and Travel offered the most exciting itinerary at the best price.

Leading up to the safari Gibson provided great communication, helping sort through my bank's concerns about transferring a large amount of money to Kenya to someone I didn't personally know. Upon arrival we stayed in a hotel in Nairobi for a day to recover from jet lag, then met Gibson and tour guide + driver Johnson, who picked us up at the exact time and location we'd arranged.

Our safari took us to six location: Samburu, Aberdare, Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha, and Amboseli. Each location offered its own charms and special moments. If I were planning the trip again, I may choose to skip Lake Naivasha, as it was the one location where we didn't see anything that was completely unique from other stops. Samburu, our first stop, was my favorite location and one of the less visited parks.

We saw all of the major animals (lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants, water buffalo, all three subspecies of giraffes, hippos, rhinos, flamingos, both species of zebras, oryx, gerenuk, wildebeest, and more). We also got lucky and saw several rare species: caracal, serval, bush babies, and genets. And, we were lucky enough to spot babies of many species, including two baby leopards playing with their mother, a fluffy baby giraffe, and a baby cheetah.

Throughout the tour Gibson clearly communicated each day's plan and Johnson drove skillfully and spotted many animals. My wife and I are avid birders and we were thrilled that Johnson was not only great at spotting well camouflaged species but knowledgeable about the many varieties of birds in Kenya, including some that are very hard to distinguish. For Johnson and Gibson have a passion for Kenya's wildlife that made our safari a wonderful experience.
