Exceptional 7-day Kenya Trip Experience with wild Race Africa Safaris
5/5

If you have ever dreamed of an African safari of lifetime experience, perhaps it is time to embark on an unforgettable 7-day adventure from Nairobi to Kenya’s breathtaking Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, Amboseli, and Tsavo National Parks with Wild Race Africa Safaris!
From the moment I reached out, their dedicated team impressed me with their professionalism and friendliness, ensuring every detail was perfect.
Simon constructed an exciting itinerary that balanced thrilling wildlife safaris, rich cultural experiences, and stunning landscapes. Our knowledgeable guide, Alex, brought Kenya's history and wildlife to life, enlightening daily.
Wild Race Africa’s recommended accommodations did not disappoint. They were some of the most luxurious lodges one would wish for at very fair prices. Both lodges offered stunning views, not to mention the meals that tantalized our taste buds with authentic Kenyan flavors.
We were lucky enough to Witness the Great Migration, Big cats on a hunting mission for breakfast, and the majestic Big Five—every game drive was a thrilling experience in a brand new 4x4 safari Land cruiser with zero Mileage from the showroom!
This trip exceeded our expectations and provided cherished memories that feel alive, like we just returned from yesterday.
I wholeheartedly recommend Wild Race Africa Safaris for anyone seeking an authentic safari experience in Kenya and beyond.
Join them and discover the wonders of this incredible country!
Cheers to Wild Rae Africa Safaris and the entire team. You will definitely see us soon for our next trip to Tanzania.

All great
5/5


We were family of 5, 3 teenage boys (13,15,16). I planned everything a month before the trip with Simon. Lots of questions, changes...as everything was new for me and i didn't know what to expect. Simon was very patient and explained everything, answered all me questions quickly. The trip was great, everything ended up well. We got exactly what we paid for, accommodation, trips...Big thank you to our guard/driver Appolo, he was excellent. Very experienced, kind and helpful. We saw everything on this trip, whole big 5, thanks to Applo. This trip definitely fulfilled our expectations and i would recommend the agency to everyone!!

5/5

Amazing Safari / game drive experience with great customer service!

We had a 30 hour layover in Nairobi and so quickly wanted to maximise every minute we could! Wild Race Africa Safaris planned this Safari experience and everything was according to plan. We kept in constant contact when I was having flight issues and they picked us up promptly and guided us through Nairobi National Park, showing us all the animal spots and then dropped us off in the city.

Great company with customer service! I would definitely recommend. It’s a good, competitive price too. Thank you!

This was my husband's first time in Kenya. I was so worried if he would enjoy it. This trip was such a blissful, comfortable and exciting experience for him and my kids too. I also enjoyed it! Definitely doing this again!

Great safari experience: Masai Mara, Nakuru, Amboseli, Tsavo West, Tsavo East.
5/5

Pre-travel assistance very kind and timely by the owner Simon M., on all our requests.
The overall safari schedule was full and well respected for the main attractions. Budget accommodations and camps carefully chosen with Simon and aligned to our expectations. Surprise upgrade on the last lodge very much appreciated!
As a possible point of improvement we'd suggest a better accuracy in the written details of the daily plan and documents provided, as some typos and copy-paste from other schedules were misleading for us in terms of lenght of the transfer travels between the different locations, some activities/stops described along the itinerary were just not possible to fit the schedule in terms of time, so it is advisable not to even mention them.
For the time schedule we therefore trusted completely in our guide Simon K. who is extremely professional and knowledgeable on animals and routes. He is also a very good driver and thanks to his experience and knowledge we were able to spot so many animals, several lions and a leopard on a tree in Nakuru. Thank you Simon & Simon for the unforgettable experience!

If you want your Kenya safari to be a trip of a lifetime, use Wild Race, no need to look elsewhere
5/5

A 4-day 3 night luxury safari was arranged thru Wild Race Africa. Family of 4 (me, my sister, my wife, and my 20y old daughter). We stayed at the Sopa Lodge, the Keekerok, and the Sekenani camp. Sekenani is authentic my friends, so be warned - it is not for the faint of heart at night (lions roaring in distance, baboons fighting outside your lodge, etc BUT nevertheless we did not feel in danger at any moment). The MAIN thing I want to accentuate, however, is the customer service we received from Wild Race. Simon! Thank you SOO much for making this trip pleasurable for us. If you want your safari to truly be a trip of a lifetime, let Simon with Wild Race arrange it for you. Ask for George to be your safari guide (George!! Asante sana!!!).

This is the exact safari we took: 4-day 3 night Maasai Mara/Lake Nakuru Luxury Safari. We took the van with the pop up roof option. Safari was March 19 - March 22, 2023

Great "6-day Amboseli/Nakuru/Masai Mara"-safari with Wild Race Africa and specially with Hudson
5/5

I sent an inquiry through the safaribookings.com-website to five different tour operators at Aug 2022 and after contacted with them, Wild Race Africa Tours seemed to be the right one for us.

We booked Safari for February 2023, paid a 30% reservation fee, received a receipt for the payment and agreed that I would pay the rest in cash on the spot. While waiting for the trip to start, I emailed Simon several times and asked for help with practical arrangements, such as applying for a visa, the necessary vaccinations, etc. He usually answered those questions quite quickly.

Finally, our flight landed in Nairobi and we were met at the airport as agreed and were transferred to the hotel with no extra charge. The next morning, after breakfast, we met Simon at the hotel and paid the remaining 70% in cash. Our guide/driver Hudson was also there so we packed our luggage into the LandCruiser and the journey began.

We spent the next 6 days on safari (2 nights in Amboseli, 1 night in Nakuru and 2 nights in Masai Mara) and it was a really great experience. Big thanks goes to our guide Hudson who was incredibly friendly and knew so much about animals and birds and those national parks. With his help we managed to spot the big 5.

Finally, a tip especially for families with children: Before arriving at the national park, you should buy some snacks from the grocery store, so that is available if someone gets hungry during the game drive.

This is the best tour! We would highly recommend this tour to anyone. This was our first time in Africa and to take a safari our tour guide George has years of experience and so much knowledge about Kenya and all the wildlife. Wild Race Africa is a terrific company to take a tour with. They were very helpful with whatever we needed. So glad we picked this tour!

Superb Luxury Kenya Safari Experience With Wild Race Africa
5/5

Wild Race Africa and Rachel was very helpful in planning and organize our 7 Days Luxury Kenya Safari.
We got Wild Race Africa through referral from a friend who had travelled with them 2019. We got into contact with them via mail and soon got a response from Sylvester’s who was very helpful and quite swift in his responses, very detailed and tackle all our questions with a lot of confidence.

The choice of lodges were excellent. We did Amboseli Ol tukai lodge, lake Naivasha sopa, Lake nakuru Sarova lion hill and mara Sarova game lodge.

All all these lodges, the staffs were very much friendly and quite professional. We were treated like Royalty.

We took a Jeep safari and our guide Hudson was quite incredible, very knowledgeable and flexible.
I would highly recommend wild race Africa for anyone who want to experience the best of kenya wildlife.
Thanks Sylvester’s and your team, we will soon come again.
