Great Prices and the Personal Touch
I have used Waymark Safaris several times for my Nairobi arrangements, the latest being in August and September, 2014. The service they provide is outstanding and their prices are considerably less than other local outfitters I've seen. On the safari (booked by a safari planner in the US), my roommate got sick and was airlifted to the Nairobi Hospital for a week. The company whose camp we were at handled the initial arrangements, but, with only one person in Nairobi, they weren't able to be her advocate after a couple of days. That's when I called Kennedy at Waymark and asked if he could help. He wasn't in Nairobi, but his wife Val and another lady in their office stepped in and made sure that everything went smoothly for my roommate. When she checked out of the hospital, they set up hotel arrangements and transport for her so that she could rejoin our group on the last day for our Nairobi tour. They didn't have to do any of this, since they weren't the outfitters for the actual safari, but their care, compassion and competency were invaluable. And this wasn't the first time! On a safari in 2007, my sister became ill from the malaria meds. When we arrived in Nairobi several hours before our flight home, Kennedy found a place for her to rest and took her to a pharmacy to ensure that she had the meds she needed to help her get home. If you want great personal service from your Kenya outfitter, you can't beat Waymark Safaris!

Arrangements worked as was promised.
The driver was very experienced and served us well. He came to pick us half an hour earlier than the time agreed - not so common in Kenya! We saw good variety of animals although the flocks were much smaller than the previous time we visited Mara (about 20 years ago!). The accomodation was ok and the food excellent.

An incredible experience
This was my first time to Kenya to celebrate my second wedding anniversary. The kindness and professionalism shown by Waymark was amazing. They helped make the experience one of the most memorable ones in my life. Oh I forgot to mention that my wife, Wanjira, who is from Kenya also thoroughly enjoyed the service provided by the kind folks at Waymark. You will not be disappointed!!

The experience of a lifetime and then some with the best staff.
Everything was perfect from the moment we arrived at the airport. We were taken to our lovely hotel, escorted in Nairobi, and taken on the most amazing safari. We saw all the big five animals and more. Our lodging was lovely. We even spent a wonderful evening when we returned with Kennedy, the owner. Gracious and wonderful person who is running a five star safari. Our guide was Joe and I hope he is still escorting. Hello Joe and kudos to you.
I really can't think of a more perfect trip where we were so totally taken care of. PS....There were just the three of us in our group. Sure wish I could do it again and it would definately be through Waymark Safaris.
Love!
We were here for our honeymoon. The staff was very nice and friendly. Our room was beutiful, the spa was lovely and what is not to love about the food? they made our stay very memorable indeed. we plan to come back!
