Edward gave us the best information and positions to see the animals.
The price that I paid for this safari was about one third or one half of what everyone else paid for almost the exact same experiences. The food was great, meeting the masai people was amazing, and our group was able to see every bucket list animal.

Hospitable
It was such a great time! We charged the plan that we went to masai village on the first day and full day hame drive on second day.
Thanks to out best driver Edward we were able to see BIG5 in a day! He always check the radio and spot for the animals even for a rhino! He has so many knowledge not only for aminals but also masai culture, kenya culture too. After the game drive we went back to our hotel earlier because Edward thought it would rain soon. And he was right. Right after we went back, UT started raining. If we continue safari we would totally get soaked. I heard some of the other tours stuck in the mud and couldn't get out so they ended up staying in a car for a night. Thanks to our guide we didn't have to do that.
Anyway I really enjoyed a lot and it's worth going!

The service is good and the price is reasonable.
Our guide Raymond is great. I took a lot pics about animals, including the big five. The iternary is well designed. For me, the two days in masaai mara and the half day at Hell's gate national reserve are unforgettable. Highly recommend the mountain bike riding at Hell's gate, it's awsome!

Efficient, dedicated and most competent staff, with a first class driver
Excellent communication with the tour operator, who replied to all our questions quickly, even during weekends and evenings. We did a three days Masai Mara safari and saw all the big five, even a rhino, because our driver Edward communicated efficiently with other drivers and rangers and was able to locate all animals. Although most of the roads were muddy and under water, unlike many other 4x4 vehicles, we never got stuck in the mud or got in any trouble. Edward is a first class driver, we felt safe all the time. He was also attentive to all our needs with discretion and good will. Best value for money. We will use the services of this operator again

Pleasurable experience, almost all of wildlife seen
We had an excellent experience visiting Masai Maara, Nakuru and lake Naiwashi parks. Already on the first evening we saw most of Kenya's famous wildlife and even two lion cubs as a wonderful bonus. I would like to give special credit to our driver Mark for his incredible driving skills, knowledge of the hidden tracks and always been ready to help. We were on the trip with 2 kids and the driver was always very attentive and flexible when offering the departure times.

Excellent planning and a memorable experience
Our guide Kevin was phenominal and went above and beyond in helping us seeing big 5 and ugly 5. Not only this, his punctuality and planning skills are remarkable.
On a side note, just by making a phone call, he knows where a Cheetah is relaxing, pride of lion is sleeping and a leopard is hiding :)
Would highly recommend to have Kevin as a guide!

Did not comply with the reservation
We had hired a guide in Spanish, they guaranteed it and the guide who accompanied us had only done a 6 month course so we had to communicate with him through the phone application, which made it impossible to give us explanations about the safari, sites, animations, etc.. The guide who spoke English did not give any indication or explanation to other travelers who came with us. Horrible treatment of the guides.

AWESOME EXPERIENCE
Everything was great, from the guides (Edward and Castro) to the accommodations and the safari.
We did a 6 days safari (Masai Mara, Nakuru and Amboseli) and we would repeat with them.

Great value for money, knowledgeable guides!
We booked a last minute safari from Mombasa to Nairobi. Our drivers (Marc and Steve) drove all night to pick us up: amazing!
The safari was great. Both Marc and Steve were very knowledgeable and very able to answer any questions about wildlife. Marc had a lot of contacts and therefore we saw cheetahs, lots of lions, elephants and the rest of Big5 + plenty others.
We booked a 'mid-range' safari, and therefore accommodation was OK and food was not very creative. That is as one can expect i suppose.
Thanks Marc and Steve. Good luck in the rest of your careers as safari guides!

Great safari, great & well connected guide
Did the 8 day safari, we had both Mark and Steven as driver/guide. Great guys, they know their plenty about the animals and were also willing to tell us about other things.
They took plenty of time waiting for us to take some pictures and just enjoying the wildlife. Mark went above and beyond to get to all the (special) animals and was well connected with the other guides. Both him and Steven were trying to take the transit-drives as short and fastt as possible, while still driving safely.
We had a great week, with some very nice accommodations.
