Lifetime journey with Kiboko
5/5

Amazing safaris with Kiboko. 7 days and night bringing to life, to nature, to jungle law. We experienced things that will never be forgotten. So many first times, everyone should try it before it is too late.

Amazing experience seeing the mother land of humanity. Seeing the animals and the expansive landscapes is life changing. Thank you to Kiboko and Peter for guiding us.

Amazing experience!
5/5

We organized a 4 day 3 night safari to Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru with Kiboko Tours and it was a fantastic experience. The communication with Gibson during the booking phase was excellent, he proposed different solutions very quickly and sent us several quotes to best meet our needs. Our guide during the Safari was Chris who made our experience unforgettable! Excellent value for money.
If we returned to Kenya we would definitely organize our Safari with Kiboko again. Thank you guys!! :)

Trip of a lifetime
5/5

Can't recommend Kibobo tours enough!

From even before the safari started, Gibson was super responsive and knowledgeable, guiding us through the itinerary and booking process with speed, expertise and patience.

This expertise continued into the safari itself. Gibson and Washida our amazing driver guide both accompanied us on our 9 day safari. They were punctual, knowledgeable and offered a perfect experience. The car was very comfortable and in great condition with drinking water provided all the time.

The safari lodges were expertly chosen, each offering something unique like sweeping views or breakfast with the resident hippos or a beautiful pool. Food at the lodges was plentiful and delicious and we couldn't stop eating! Gibson organized us a mid safari hike and a horseback ride amongst the wild animals to get out of the car for a day as well.

Most importantly, the safari was incredible itself. Washida with 22 years of driver guide experience asked us each morning what we wanted to see and would spot animals we would never have been able to see ourselves. Bathroom breaks were regular and a picnic lunch in the Maasai Mara was a highlight. Their knowledge of the animals was amazing and provided such an educational experience. I also noticed that they were almost the only company picking up trash we found left in the parks by other guests. If conservation of this area matters to you as much as it does to me then you know Kiboko cares too.

Our group felt like there was a surprise hidden around each corner, to beautiful lookout spots to maasai village visits and amazing hospitality.

We will miss our time and Kenya and won't hesitate to recommend Gibson, Washida and Kiboko tours! Have already recommended him to our friends. Thanks Kibobo for the trip of a lifetime!

An Unforgettable Adventure - My Safari Experience

Last month, I embarked on a safari trip in the Maasai Mara National Reserve and other parks in Kenya, and it was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we arrived, the vastness and beauty of the African savannah were awe.

We also visited a local Maasai village. The warmth and hospitality of the Maasai people were heartwarming. Learning about their culture and traditions added depth to our safari experience.

What impressed me most was the commitment to wildlife conservation. It was evident that tourism here is conducted with respect for nature and benefits both the wildlife and the local communities.

This safari was an incredible journey that exceeded all my expectations. It was not just a vacation, but an educational and emotional experience that deeply connected me to nature and wildlife. I returned home with a renewed appreciation for our planet's beauty and diversity.

I highly recommend Gibson and his team, he was very helpful, polite and stayed with us all the way to the national park and back.

Very disappointed with our tour guide
1/5

This was our family's first time to an African country and we were so looking forward to our safari with Kiboko Tours and Travels. Sadly, we were very disappointed. Due to budget constraints, we did choose the budget option for our safari and for that reason we were not disappointed with the vehicle or the lodges. Both seemed like they had seen better days, but when you go budget, we know you don't get top of the line transportation or accommodation. However, what we were really disappointed with was our guide. I don't like to be critical of other people and know that it can be difficult being a tour guide, but during and after our safari, we wondered why our guide had chosen to be a tour guide and why you, as a safari company, had hired him for the position. He didn't seem to want to be a safari guide, as he spent more time on his phone (especially on the first day) than sharing with us his knowledge about the parks we’re in, animals we’re seeing and general information about what to expect on each tour. We learned more from the signs at the park and our own background research than we did from our guide. Our guide did not engage with us, ask us about ourselves and what we’d like to get out of our first experience here in your beautiful country. I would think it good practice for tour guides to let their guests to know what to expect each day, and ask them what they’d like to see (keeping in mind, of course, that nothing is guaranteed with a safari). I would expect a tour guide to think of themselves as an ambassador for their country, wanting to share with their guests their enthusiasm and knowledge about their country and what they are able to show their guests. Our guide was not like this at all. In fact, when we asked him questions about the parks we were visiting and wildlife we were seeing he often misinformed us as we found out later through our own online research. I would ask that Kiboko Tours and Travel either provide their guides with training or only hire guides that have been trained and qualified as tour guides. For this reason, I would not recommend this company for your safari.

We sincerely apologize.
Our greatest hope is that time will offer the chance to serve your family once again. Making sure that each one of our customers has the finest recollections of their trip to Kenya is our top concern. The most important lesson we have learned in all the years we have been in business is your dissatisfaction. We've examined, gained knowledge, and improved our planning. We thank you for the chance to serve you.

We did the Nairobi national park. It was a private safari so we started at a time of my choice. We saw all the big animals of the park.
The guide was friendly and informative. Good tour overall

An amazing operator who gave us a really great experience of Safari
4/5

The operator helped us to customize our safari by upgrading accommodation and based on our travel time to choose suitable routes for game drive. Gibson was patient to meet our requirements, George is an amazing driver and really experienced. We enjoyed the time with Kiboko and gave us a great journey to explore NPs and to see wild life.
