Excellent Kenya safari Experience
Words alone can not describe the incredible 6 days trip experience we had in Kenya with Wild Race Africa. We settle on the organization after reading their online reviews. We got in touch with them and they were very swift in their responses.
Simon explained everything in detail and answered to our numerous questions efficiently.
The choice f lodges were awesome and the prices were also very pocket friendly.
We made the commitment fee and cleared the balance on arrival by card and off we were to Masai Mara game reserve.
Our guide George was very knowledgeable and very accommodation.
My daughter was so demanding but George handled every demand so efficiently that we were both very much happy with his services.
The Mara Sekenani camp was superb just as simon had promised. The staffs are very friendly and quite professional.
Back in Nairobi, we had a surprise dinner and carnivore restaurant courtesy of simon and wild Race Africa
I highly recommend this organization for anyone looking for a fantastic Kenya Safari experience.

It was very well organized. The Organizers and the Guide were amazing!
The whole package hast been really great. Starring from the communication with the Organizers. They were very Kind and courteous. I did the Tour (Serengeti and Ngorongoro for 3d/2n). And it was really worth the Money.
We had a fabolous Guide that cared about the nature and was very experienced. Thanks to the whole Team.

A mind-blowing all-around Safari experience
We had a mind-blowing all-round safari experience with Wild Race Africa Safaris. We got to know about Wild Race Africa through a friend who had travelled with them before. From the moment I placed our trip request with them, the service was beyond all expectations. Simon listened carefully to our trip request and specifications.
He perfectly arranged the perfect holiday tour that met all our interest. The proposed safari lodges were quality lodges located right inside the park that help ensure we maximise our time exploring the parks.
He was very much patient with my frequent, unending questions. As the company policy, we placed advance payment via Pesa-pal (Online payment). Simon Responded back with a receipt confirmation of payment and lodges booking reference numbers.
In Nairobi, we met Rachel and Phanuel who took us to the office where we met Simon and clear the Balance via car payment.
Our Guide Phanuel was excellent. From start of our 8 Days trip, he was incredibly knowledgeable about Animals, birds, and local people’s culture.
We had very easy time exploring the parks, he put his experience forward yet listened to our needs and been super flexible.
In summary, Wild Race Africa and the entire team created a fabulous holiday that ticked every box. A perfect service I'm recommending to all and will use again.
Thank you, Simon and the entire Team.

Excellent Wildlife Safari Experience in Kenya
Excellent safari with Wild Race Africa Safaris. I got wild Race Africa Safaris online and when I went through what other travelers’ say, I was a bit skeptical, but again its better a company with at least 2 to 5% negative review, it only means the reviews are genuine and not doctored, so I gave them a try.
I got into contact with Simon via mail and he was quite swift in his responses. He reverted to us with a detailed itinerary, well planned and fully detailed with the lodges.
We discussed with my family, checked out the lodges and the rates, we then proceeded with trip confirmation to help ensure the lodges are booked and confirmed in good time.
True to his promise, we got the official company receipt after paying the 30% Advance payment and the lodges reservation reference numbers for our own peace of mind.
Upon landing in Nairobi, we were met at the airport, we cleared the balances and off the trip kicked to Amboseli National Park.
George Odingo was our guide for the 14 Days trip. He is the best guide we could ever ask for. Very detailed, friendly, and flexible. We spotted a lot of animals with much ease.
My daughter calls him a “walking Encyclopedia”, we later get to learn that he is an ethologists and naturalist at the same time with over 25 years experiencing guiding.
He was very kind and nice with us. He takes care of us in every moment, he was part of our family in Kenya where everybody is a sister and a brother from another Mather.
Many thanks to Wild Race Africa and the entire team for making our Kenya trip such an awesome safari experience.
I highly recommend this company to anyone who want to explore and discover Africa, up close and personal.
We will definitely come back soon. Asate sana

Big adventure
It was really a very nice experience and a real evening adventure.
The organisation was problem-free and everything worked out well. Good value for money
The only thing we would have liked was for the guide to tell the other guests how to behave, for example not to call out to the animals or to try to lure them with a water bottle.

Wild Race Africa is very professional and a pleasure to work with.
We had an excellent 5-Day trip to Aberdares NP, Samburu NR, & Ol-Pejeta NP, led by our amazing guide, George.
Wild Race Africa made sure all our needs were covered and went above and beyond including an airport pick-up and extra game drive to seek the elusive leopard!
We saw incredible animals in the mornings, afternoons, and at night and enjoyed our time with our guide and at the lodges. I particularly enjoyed the natural diversity of the locations that we were able to see by visiting multiple parks.
I would highly recommend this tour group -- the prices are reasonable and the quality is very high.

Posted on Apr 14, 2022Dear Liz & Rachel;
Thank you so much for the online feed back. All these were made possible by your kind understanding and flexibility. I did find it very easy to work closely with you to come up with a perfect trip itinerary for you and Rachel.
The 5-Days kenya trip; Aberdares, Samburu and ol pajeta sweet waters, actually takes you off the common beaten tracks and home to the wild cats.
It’s one of the best kenya safari circuits that never disappoint. All you need is a super special private guide like George. He is not only one of our best but also the best guide in the industry.
It was indeed an honor to be at your services and we look forward to hosting you once again, not only in kenya but entire east Africa.
Thanks and stay blessed

Great experience
We've booked a 12-days tour in Kenya and Tanzania with Wild Race Africa Tours. Our route was Nairobi - Lake Naivasha - Lake Nakuru - Masai Mara - Serengeti - Ngorongoro - Lake Manyara - Amboseli - Nairobi.
First we hesitated because of the pandemic situation we are living right now - but we didn't regret our desicion. Simon answered all our questions we had prior to the journey and with Alex we had the perfect guide in Kenya. Alex wellcomed us at the airport and cared very good for us. He is a great troubleshooter and you are lucky to have him as a guide. We've learned a lot about the places we've visited and about the country and its people. Also in Tanzania we had a great guide with China and his son Shidi.
We were concerned about the border crossing Kenya-Tanzania-Kenya, but with the help from our guides everything went smoothly. For every border crossing a negative PCR test was required, as well for the return flight from Kenya to Europe. So keep in mind to calculate the waiting time for the results.
We booked a budget tour, but at some places we upgraded to a mid range lodge. It's great that you can customize your tour the way you like it. Normally we are individual travelers - it was our first experience with a organized tour. We enjoyed to just sit back - and don't worry about were to sleep or eat next. The organization was perfect - the food was yummy - the lodges were fine too! So we could 100% focus on the beautiful nature and spotting wild animals.
If you think about doing a safari in this complicated times, but you're unsure about all the covid regulations - I really recommend to do it. Of course it's a bit more complicated and bureaucratic - but it definitely is worth!

good value of tour and customers service
It was an amazing trip. One of my dreams has come true. I really appreciated the guide George as well as the tour company Simon for all the work to make my trip fantastic! I want to come back soon to Kenya with my mother or husband or maybe even alone again.
Here are some points to further improve the service:
Positive: 1. the itinerary was perfect. 2. the guide George was a super star! he was professional and always thinking about a customer. 3. the first three accommodations (Ark lodge, Nakuru lodge and Julia’s camp) were great in terms of service, people, food and locations. 4. thanks for providing me a private car! which was awesome. 5. Simon always answered my questions immediately via whatsapp.
I can't write all the positive points as there are a lot!
Negative: the two accommodations have been changed without informing me. one of them was quite good at the end. However Dove Nest in Naivasha was down graded from the lodge originally planned. Dove Nest is said as 3 stars. The people were nice but not for 3 star hotel unfortunately. No wifi available. They could have been by far better with another management who knows how to take care of international tourists.
Overall, it was a really nice trip and I keep telling my colleagues and friends that my trip was perfect and recommend them to travel to Kenya for Safari.

A well organized trip with very good guides, fine accommodation and well organized transport
A well organized trip with very good guides, fine accommodation and well organized transport
We have made a great trip through Kenia with Wild Race Africa. We saw so many highlights, it was amazing! We saw the great trek from the gnoes twice, we saw lions in love, cheetah's on the hunt, more than enough zebras and wildebeasts, the most beautiful birds, leopards eating a wildebeasts. And a lot more! Our guides Simon and Barack were great. They know almost everything from what we saw. They even know what the best time is to see the great trek, around 11 o'clock! The accommodations where very good in all the parks.The transport was also good. There was a good balance between price and quality. We are looking forward to come back to Kenia, a wonderful country.
