Responsiveness and client orientation was of particular notice for us.
it was an exciting journey for a first time comer. The long drive to and back from Masai-Mara was compensated by beautiful natural scenery and the animals in the natural habitat that is incomparable to what one can see in a zoo.

Great safari!
We asked for a french guide for the safari but it ended up that our guide didn’t speak one word of french. However our guide was amazing and we could see a lot of animals!

Incredible experience, everything went very smoothly
Everything ran very smoothly and we had a great experience and definitely recommend. Everyone was very friendly, Peter collected us from our Airbnb and dropped us off at the bustling Nairobi bus Station where we met Jimi and travelled down to Nanyuki together on the local bus. After a great lunch in a local restaurant, we met the trekking team and zoomed off towards the Sirimon Gate.
Franco our guide was really great at setting the pace and pointing out the nature along the way. Martin kept us incredibly well fed and always had a huge smile on his face. Pat was a star for carrying our bag and helping Martin out. They were a really great and welcoming team.
We'd definitely do a tour with them again, easy communication and no fuss. Thanks to everyone!

Reliable and experienced
The operator did the job. They were reliable and experienced. Our guide, Raymond, did not hesitate to go an extra mile in every attraction. He was constantly trying to find the best spot for us.
Although I wish they had better was the car for the safari, it is highly recommended.

In the National Parks it was great.
We had a wonderful time by seeing lots of wild animals. The driver was really good !!!! but realize there is a long time and big traffic when you are on the way from one National Parc to the other.

Incredible views, great people, slightly disorganised.
The tour of the Masai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha, and Hells Gate was incredible. We managed to see the big five and enjoyed a lot of great lodges/hotels along the way. The tour was slightly rearranged and disorganised but we still managed to see everything. Between our tour guides - Edward, Joffrey, and Moses - we were given really great information and help throughout the trip to ensure we managed to see everything. In terms of value for money - there is a lot of driving around which may feel like the fees paid can be somewhat too much. But as one realises the fees are predominately for the really great places you stay along the trip. One recommendation I do have is to try to get the jeeps instead of the vans (these make a massive difference to viewing and travel). Also, to take the bicycle ride at Hells Gate as opposed to driving. The long hours in the car can really add up so getting out and stretching your legs is very much needed.

Nice, accommodating, knowledgeable
I had a really good time. Masai Mara and Amboseli are stunning and truly hard to describe in words.
The hotels were all nice.
The drivers, Raymond and Kevin, were both very accommodating, kind, and knowledgeable. I would recommend them!

it is a good tour operator, but it should consider the convenience of guest as a top priority
Seven days safari tour gave us an unforgettable memory. My wife and I really enjoyed it. The driver(Bonface) was an excellent guide too. He was a professional guide and tried to show us more exciting scenes and animals. I would like to comment to a tour operator about the scheduled program. We would be happier if we would receive a daily program which should be explained as the time sequence. Your tour program has a daily starting one, so several teams which have different programs started to tour together and separated later and joined another team. Those kinds of arrangements caused long waits and longer driving courses which were very inconvenient for us. I recommend you would better to arrange each starting team with the same scheduled program, even though we can not have a daily tour program.

They did everything to make us have a good time....and we did.
Raymond is the guy.. He knows everyone, stopped to talk and phone and chat with all the other guides.
We were often first to a kill, and when a few other trucks turned up we went..
I did think that 7 days was too much. We did masai mara day 1&2, day 3 in Naivasha and the 4th in Nakuru, back to Hells Gate on day 5.bit then one of the tram fell sick so we dropped out..
Robert was good and managed the poorly guy around keeping the safari going for the others..
