Flexibility and kind responses to our problem
We planned to be on safari in Kenya/Tanzania this September. David Waweru from Frates helped us craft the exact tour we wanted, with an eye to keeping costs down. He was most helpful and flexible even as our dates and numbers changed. Unfortunately, over this summer, I learned I had cancer that required surgery and chemotherapy, so that I would not be able to travel out of country. David helped us get almost all of our deposits returned quickly and without a huge amount of paperwork. I am very grateful to him for all his help and would highly recommend this company to anyone looking to create a tailor-made safari experience.

Private Kenya Tour
Frate tours were wonderful to work with. We created our own itinerary and they provided the transportation and arranged the lodging. While we had specific things to see, our driver added more stops and provided some very impressive game watching. He was also quite watchful for any security issues that might appear, but all was fine. Frate tours was also more economical than other tour operators. As a prior Peace Corps volunteer, I had roamed all around East Africa on my own, but was advised that things were not the same and to get a driver; the advice was most appropriate. Frate was recommended by friends who had frequently traveled to Kenya.

David W. is the Safari Master!!! :-D
Our drivers were always ready whenever we wanted to go. They helped us with our bags and were very contientious with helping us keep up with everything to make sure nothing was lost. Our driver, David was very knowledgable on safari and we saw all the animals we were hoping to see, AND more!! We saw lions, a cheetah with 3 cubs, a leopard, black rhino, elephants, giraffe, zebra, too many to list. It was an AWESOME experience and I feel that David was instrumental in making it that way! A true once in a lifetime experience!!

I have used Francis and his team for 12 years. Thousands of missionaries sent, IMPECABLE service.
I am 59 yeears old, a health care provider accustomed to excellence. Frate Tours ranks with the highest organization in all my life. NEVER have our missionaries complained about any aspect of their service. Safe, reliable service with immaculate vehicles. I can say that the goal of Frate Tours is to please the clients and offer the best service at reasonable cost. I have sent 3000 missionaires to Kenya and all have traveled with Frate Tours. I am available for questions. Steve James CRNA (ret) Kenyarelief.org. Alabama USA.

Very attentive to our needs, always on time, safe drivers
We have used Frate Tours on mission trips to Kenya (2012) and Tanzania (2014). Both assignments required the drivers to be with us 24/7. Francis, Nelson, and David were always professional, safe, dependable, and knowledgeable of the areas and peoples we were visiting. In 2012, they took us on a tour of the Masai Mara village and Serenghetti. They have provided all one could expect or require of tour guides. They became part of our team and interacted well will all team members. I would highly recommend their services to anyone seeking tour services.

Very professional
We have used Frate Tours for 2 consecutive years for our short term mission trips to Kenya. We highly recommend their services. The office help communicates well before and during the trip and is very accommodating. The drivers are safe, on time and very courteous. If you are looking for a reliable service try Frate Tours.
totally professional, very happy with tour and guides provided, highly recommended
It was one of the best trips we have ever had and Frate Tours were the best. From the start to the end, there was always a representative there to handle all our queries and guide us. An unforgettable experience and the experience plus the safari itself has exceeded our expectations
