Unforgettable Kenyan Safari with Exceptional Guide Castro
I recently had the incredible opportunity to explore Kenya for two weeks, and the highlight of my trip was undoubtedly the unforgettable safari experience led by the remarkable guide, Castro. From the moment we embarked on our adventure, Castro’s expertise shone brightly. He guided us through the enchanting Maasai Mara National Reserve, the serene Lake Nakuru, the picturesque Lake Naivasha, the rugged terrain of Hellsgate, and the breathtaking Amboseli National Park.
Castro’s knowledge was boundless, as he effortlessly shared insights about the land, its plants, trees, and towering mountains. His passion for wildlife was evident in the way he identified every animal we encountered, leaving us in awe with each sighting. He even took us on a special journey to witness the majestic Kilimanjaro before sunset, ensuring we didn’t miss out due to impending clouds.
I had a personal dream of spotting a leopard, and Castro made it a mission to fulfill it. He led us through the trees and along the rivers in pursuit of this elusive creature, and the experience was nothing short of magical.
What truly sets Castro apart is not just his expertise, but his amiable personality. He is an incredibly likable guy, always accommodating our needs and ensuring our comfort and enjoyment throughout the journey. To top it off, on our last day, he surprised us by taking us to the Giraffe Center, a heartwarming gesture that perfectly encapsulated his thoughtfulness.
In summary, Castro’s presence elevated our entire stay in Kenya. His exceptional knowledge, dedication to our experience, and warm personality transformed an already great trip into an unforgettable adventure. Our safari wouldn’t have been the same without him. I can’t recommend him enough as a tour guide and as a fantastic individual. Thank you, Castro, for making our journey truly exceptional!
Safari Adventure of a Lifetime!
Our safari experience was beyond incredible! The team's precision with the schedules and their unwavering professionalism, especially from Dan and the other drivers, left us in awe. Their skillful maneuvering ensured we witnessed the animals' natural behaviors, including the mesmerizing Big 5. Dan's attention to detail, ensuring we had timely provisions and a fun-filled time, made the journey unforgettable. Witnessing the wildlife in Masai Mara and Nakuru felt like a dream come true. Our gratitude extends to the entire team for their dedication and passion. We're immensely thankful for this exceptional experience and will wholeheartedly recommend your services to friends and family. Cheers and heartfelt thanks to Dan and everyone involved for creating memories that will last a lifetime!

Amazing people... Excellent hospitality !!!
It was indeed pleasure to contact Mr Peter again after 4 years. I just sent a WhatsApp message and immediately he replied and took all my details and sent me his proposal. Since then all my queries were handled by him and supported me not only for this safari but also managed all my difficulties in Kenya.
Right from taking care of my extra baggage to help for shopping and everything. As I had come here for an exhibition for initial period his guidance helped for my team members as well for local sight seeing.

Excellent guide Edward, responsibility and fast communication with the company
If I compare this company with other safaries which I have an experience (2 other), this is definitely the best. Main reasons: good and fast communication, time responsibility and responsibility at all. We have a very successful trip to Masai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha, Amboseli.
Special thanks is for guide and driver Edward. He's really professional guide and driver. He has a big knowledge about african nature. He can easily explain you every question you have about it because it's also his hobby. For birdwatchers like me I definitely recommended to take this guide. He is also very responsible driver. We've seen many safari cars stuck in the mud because of big rain. Once he helped one car to put out from the mud. Many times went through much more muddy roads and we didn't stuck. He kept the car clear after every dirty driving. He went to preventing check the car for avoid a problem. He drove more than 8 hours in this horrible kenyan traffic situation, no problem, hakuna matata.

It was awesome! Best value for the money!
Bardzo Polecam! Nasz kierowca i przewodnik Kewin, zrobił super robotę. Wzięliśmy 7 dniowe safari i szczerze mówiąc obawialiśmy się co dostaniemy w budżetowej opcji, ale śmiało mogę powiedzieć, że wycieczka przerosła nasze oczekiwania. Kewin był zawsze dla nas dostępny i pomocny. Zobaczyliśmy bardzo dużo zwierząt, nawet białego i czarnego nosorożca. Pojeździliśmy rowerem po ptaku narodowym Hell’s gate i zwiedziliśmy wioskę Masajów w Masai Mara. Noclegi były wygodne i w akceptowalnym standardzie. Zawsze była ciepła woda i moskitiera żeby ochronić od komarów. Jedzenie smaczne ale monotonne, przy czym należy zaznaczyć, że to kwestia rejonu, a nie wycieczki. Wszystko było dopracowane i mieliśmy zapewnione wszystko co jest potrzebne. Raz Kewin zaproponował zmianę planu ze względu na ilość pozostałego czasu i był to strzał w 10! Dzięki temu mieliśmy super pogodę jeżdżąc na rowerach, a czas kiedy padało spędziliśmy w samochodzie w drodze do parku Amboseli. Jedyna rzecz jaka bym zmienił to nocleg w Nakuru, bo odbiegał czystością i jedzeniem od reszty. Podsumowując - świetne doświadczenie i bardzo polecam.

Highly recommended! Our driver and guide, Kewin, did an excellent job. We opted for a 7-day safari, and honestly, we were a bit concerned about what we would get in the budget option, but I can confidently say that the trip exceeded our expectations. Kewin was always available and helpful. We saw a lot of animals, including both white and black rhinos. We cycled through the Hell's Gate National Park and explored a Maasai village in the Masai Mara. The accommodations were comfortable and in an acceptable standard. There was always hot water and mosquito nets to protect us from mosquitoes. The food was tasty but a bit repetitive, although it's worth noting that it's more a regional issue than a problem with the tour. Everything was well-planned, and we had everything we needed. At one point, Kewin suggested a change in the itinerary due to the remaining time, and it turned out to be a fantastic decision! Thanks to that, we had great weather while cycling, and the time it rained, we spent in the car on our way to Amboseli Park. The only thing I would change is the accommodation in Nakuru, as it was not as clean, and the food was not up to par with the rest. In summary, it was a fantastic experience, and I highly recommend it.
