good quality price
all very correct. Mika very helpful, he helped us with a lost suitcase.
Martin the driver the best we could have. Fast, efficient and polite
The worst is the hotel where they book us up the first day (Embassy) and some of the meals, but that no longer depends on them

Reactive and pro
The safari was amazing, our driver knew the reserve very well and we saw a lot of animals. He was very pro.
The accommodation was ok.

Attentive and efficient
Mika was very quick in responding to my enquiry to book and communication was easy. We had the most exceptional guide John who was full of knowledge about the reserve and took us to areas where we were alone at times to watch the animals. Saw everything except rhino. Lodge was spot on great experience well done Okoa team

Wellorganized, extremely helpful!
Excellent and easy contact with Mika. Great trip with Andrew, a full 4x4 jeep. I went on the 4 day tours, but think the 3 day one is enough (lake Nakura is ok, but a long extra drive.....). Got to see all big 5

Exceeded My Expectations!
The tour agent Mika was super helpful even prior to our trip. He was super accommodating and understood what we wanted out of the Safari package. We went on a 9 day safari in Kenya (3 days) and Tanzania (6 days).
The tour guide John who took us to Masai Mara was an absolute professional! We saw so many animals up close including 3 lionesses feeding on a warthog up close like 2 meters from the jeep. The accommodation was also excellent even for a budget Safari. The food was also good. Everything was super well organised and it was a trip of a lifetime for me and my two friends. Would definitely recommend OKOA to anyone wanting to have an amazing Safari experience!

Very professional and worthy !
We were two persons on a 6-day safari to Masai Mara, Lake Naiwasha, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli. We saw plenty of animals in all parks and had some extraordinary experiences with very close contact with both predators and prey. For the cost this is definitly the most worthy safari I have been to. I have been on safaris several times in Kenya, Tanzania, Botswana and Zambia, but this was the best experience. Mika at Okoa has been very helpful and the guide and driver Richard was excellent.
Accomodation and food was good and well working, but without unnessesary luxury.

Extremely knowledgeable, friendly and very accommodating!
I just spent 10 of the best days of my life traveling with Okoa Safari Tours! Mika was very educated and professional teaching our group every step of the way. We traveled from Nairobi and headed to Massai Mara National Park for a Safari and then to Amboselli National Park for a Safari. We visited Lake Naivasha, Hell's Gate National Park and Mount Kilimanjaro. Our group also incorporated several days of our trip in the village donating to local schools and helping with many things in the village. It was an excellent volunteer portion of the trip! I highly recommend Okoa Safari Tours both Safari and volunteering in the village!

PERFECT
I could not have asked more from a company in any industry let alone one providing once in a lifetime experiences. Between seeing every animal I could imagine to ensuring unique lodging and travel experiences I have never had such an amazing experience.
Having traveled plenty before I was unsure of the experience we would receive but between the first class accommodations to the incredible safari experiences this is one of the best companies ever!
Thank you to Yacob, our local guide in Masai Mara. Everything was perfect .

Terrible, don't book with this company
When we asked a quote we received different photos than where he accommodated us. When we arrived we were in shock for the location, we asked to be moved immediately and Mr. Mika told us to pay for the upgrade. For 2 days in Lenchada Camp we had the electricity just for 3h per day, was from 7pm to 10 pm, in the tend wasn’t plate for recharge the cell phone. We booked for 2 persons for 1.700 dollars for 5 days, full board, includes Breakfast/ Lunch/Dinner/Drinking water. Driver/Camp/Hotel/Safari/National Park.
We had to recharge in the fake restaurant (was a small a dirty tend, and the food was terrible, the chef wearing very dirty). No electricity, no water to drink in the camp. We never meet Mr. Mika, he staid away from us.
In the our tour for 5 day were with us others 5 persons. One paid 550 dollars for Lenchada Camp where Mr Mika accomodated us, and the others 4 paid 600 dollars each for a good location in Enrock Camp.
Thanks to the driver for our safari Mr. Andrew from other company we recovered the shock of the terrible first 2 days in Lenchada Camp.
We give the good reviews for the driver Mr. Andrew, and bad reviews for Akoa Africa Tour and Mr. Mika from this company.

Posted on Mar 14, 2023Dear Annarita
We are glad to see your comments but on the camp honestly you know where you were going to stay because your request was 5 days budget camping safari and we sent you detailed itinerary with the names of the accommodations including Lenchada Camp and you agreed with it and booked it on the price our price for 5 days budget joining group safari by 4x4 jeep is 850 usd pp and that is what you paid as per our cost for this safari no one asked you for extra payment for safari and you did a game drive as per the safari program we sent you also you stayed at the accommodations we sent you in the program Nothing was changed in the program. On the electricity there was electricity problem in the area because there was power cut off in that area and we apologise for that. On your comment on Mika he did not see you on your first day of the safari because Mika was not in the city but the office representative by the name Johnson came to picked you at Ibis hotel and gave you the brefing on the safari before departure and then John drove you to the group where you met the group and departure to Masai Mara with Andrew the guide whom recommend well so this shows our commitment to safari as per request. On the drinking water the guides always carry enough water in the jeep so it could be you forgot to take the water from the jeep. Thank you so much for booking your safari with us
