Perfect 5-day Amboseli/Masai Mara safari
We did a 5 days / 4 nights safari tour to Amboseli and Masai Mara with Wild Race Africa and we had a great time.
As it was a last minute trip for us, it was helpful that Simon was very responsive and helped us organize the trip rapidly by email. Also they were flexible when we asked to do 5 days instead of 6.
They picked us up when we arrived at the airport and drove us to our hotel in Nairobi even if the safari only started two days later.
George was our driver for the 5 day safari. He was an excellent driver and very knowledgeable and friendly. He knew the parks very well and gave us lots of information on the animals. And he did his best so we could see many animals and so we could have a great time.
The two lodges they booked for us in the two parks were excellent. In Amboseli, we stayed at Kibo Luxury Tent Camp, a great lodge just outside the gate. In Masai Mara, we stayed at Mara Keekorok, a lodge inside the park which was very helpful as the park... Read more is very big. For the car, we picked the Land Cruiser instead of the van and we feel we made the right choice as the road was quite muddy and we could not have gone on the same tracks with the van.
We were very happy with the whole trip and the organization. We really recommend going with Wild Race Africa and with George as a driver!

Amazing experience
We had a really great time with our guide China, we saw the big five and so much animals, he always tried to do his best to teach us so many things. We booked our Safari at the last moment and the communication and service were fluid and we have really good accomodations for a good price.

An unforgettable trip with good company
Hello!
I share my personal experience:
Our program in September 2019 was designed for 6 nights and three national parks:
Samburu - 2 nights
Nakuru-1 night (2-3 is better); we liked it there the most. Non-terrestrial landscape. Inexpressible! And you can just relax there. View from the hotel to the rift valley. Rhinos are often found.
Masai Mara - 3 nights
I must say that we were satisfied.

African safari professionalism&friendly,exelen
My husband, daughter, son, mother, and dad decided that its time to be in Africa and settle to organize our safari trip with a local tour operator / Tour and travel agency and this is how we found Simon and Wild Race Africa Safari Tours and Travel.
The company is pretty median in size and the service provided was beyond our expectation. Prior to your travel, Simon is very helpful in understanding your needs and tailoring a holiday safari package that is within your budget accordingly. He is also super fast replying to your emails/ Skype / google messenger / Whatsapp. Let's be honest, it is OK to be skeptical in a place you have never been before but Simon and his team of professionals give you this trust from the first minute to the last. From the first driver who picks you up at the airport to the experienced safari guides during the safari his Excellency Mr. Obama.
We took 7 days Kenya Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli tour package and it just blow off our mind. The animal's view was superb, the lodges, the food and even the guide himself was a professor in his own way.
I would like to send my special thanks to our safari driver George in Masai Mara. He has a good command of English and has a solid understanding of wildlife both from a practical and scientific point of view.

Safari of a lifetime!
Having already done a great safari in Tanzania a few years ago, I had pretty high expectations this time around, taking alone my two children (12 and 10) to their first safari in Kenya.
Simon from Wildrace Africa was by far the most professionnal and responsive operator to get back with a quote, a competitive, tailor-made 8-day itinerary in a private 4x4, covering four parks (Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Amboseli & Tsavo East) with a drop-off to our resort in Diani Beach.
Simon answered all logistical questions I had within hours (when not minutes!) via Whatsapp, and offered flexibility (downpayment through Paypal, balance in euros rather than USD...).
On departure day we met the whole Wildrace Africa team as well as our guide/driver Pascal, whose friendliness, experience, competence and professionalism truly made this safari a unique lifetime experience.
Pascal was totally dedicated to our every needs and went out of his way to take us to as many game sighting spots as... Read more we wanted, when we wanted. His keen eye even made us witness a live lion hunt moment, an extremely rare scene during daytime. We saw just about every single animal one can see in Kenya, and more!
Pascal is an excellent driver, we felt safe throughout the trip, and he regularly shared his extensive knowledge on fauna, flora, kenyan customs, traditions, and language. He was fantastic with my kids.
Due to our limited budget we stayed at basic tented accommodations either very close to park entrances, or just inside. All were fine and offered great surroundings, you felt in the middle of wilderness being woken up by exotic birds.
The itinerary sold on paper was fully respected, we really got our money’s worth. Everything went smooth and perfect.
Needless to say I highly recommend this operator to any western tourist looking for value for money, safety, and comfort. We feel lucky we chose Wild race over the plethora of other operators in Kenya.

FELT LIKE TOURISTS IN OUR OWN COUNRTY.
I can not really compare the services given by wild race Africa to no other vacation company in the country .Yes ,you might be thinking because Kenya is a third world country it has less experiences in terms of having fun as to other first and second world countries,but what i really saw,taught was more than what i expected.
i had just got back from Navo scotia,sydney,Canada from pursuing my studies and thought why should i not give myself a vacation to relax and explore my own country.
A friend of mine chose to travel with me immediately she heard i was going for a Kenyan adventure.
i was delighted to contact wildraceafrica since it was always an option for my family back here.
Simon was our communications specialist and i loved his quick way to answer on to emails and night calls for responses to our questions.He got our back when he decided to show up before and after the trip for advises and cautions to mostly take in to.
we visited a large part of Samburu national... Read more park which most people tend to ignore.we had such great fun,and the best part of it was spying on a pride on lions looking out for prey.The accommodation at the Samburu Sopa lounge was interesting as well.From a full body massage which was really budget friendly to a quiet time at a pool as the sun went down.
we really take this time and thank all the support we got from wildraceafrica for a good experience back in our own country
we really felt like tourists in our own country for the first time in a long time.
