Brilliant bespoke safari experience
This is the second time I have used KETS and I was not disappointed in the slightest. Once again I had an amazing experience and was extremely lucky to see the animals in very close proximity. All correspondence with Paul via email was great and he was very responsive. I was very happy he was our driver for the trip! Paul is extremely knowledgeable, punctual and a credit to the company! The safari van is very comfortable with plenty of water bottles/juice provided. I highly recommend this company for a personalised experience and a lifetime of spectacular memories! I can't wait to return to Kenya with friends for another amazing Safari experience with KETS

Reliable and trustworthy people who strive to deliver the best package
We had a wonderful tour across Kenya in Amboseli, Naivasha and Masai Mara. I think our package was a good value for money. All hotels offered and booked by Kets were excellent. Our guide who stayed with us all 8 days was very good, patient, hard working and very knowledgeable.
We hope to go back to Kenya soon and strongly recommend Kets company.

Life-changing experience!
I traveled to Kenya for the first time ever at the end of May/beginning of June, 2022. I contacted several different safari companies to organize a safari for me, and I ended up choosing Kenya Expresso Tours based on their professionalism and detailed responses to my queries. Paul Mwenda was amazing throughout the whole process.
We created a plan together of what exactly I wanted to get out of the safari - it was all very personalized and tailored to my preferences. I even personally chose the vehicle for my safari. My recommendation to others is, of course, to choose the better 4x4 vehicle. It's only a bit more than a minivan, but it makes all the difference when you're on the Kenyan terrain.
In the end, I visited Nairobi, Lake Nakuru, the Maasai Mara, Lake Naivasha, etc. I went on a long boat ride, I rode in a hot air balloon over the Maasai Mara and visited a traditional Maasai village. The accommodation was AMAZING - really 5 Star! And the prices with KET are extremely reasonable - it was far more affordable to book directly with this company in Kenya than through a travel agency in my own country.
To sum things up - KET Tours was amazing. I had an incredible, life-changing experience at an extremely affordable price. Wonderful accommodation and meals, heavenly animal life and African landscapes, and an extremely knowledgeable and accommodating guide - Paul. I saw all the animals I wanted to see and returned home with about 2,000 amazing photos on my camera. A photographer's paradise!
I'm already packing for my second safari with KET in 2023!

Excellent company and amazing safari!
This review is long overdue but hopefully better late than never! My husband and I did an 8-day safari with KETS and we loved every minute of it. Our guide was Paul and he was wonderful. The booking process was so easy and we were able to customize our itinerary exactly how we wanted it. Paul was great about answering all our questions and was always very quick to respond. On safari, Paul was very knowledgeable about every location we went to and knew the best spots for wildlife. He was very patient with all our questions and requests. Thank you Paul for the trip of a lifetime! We will definitely be back, hopefully next time with the kids!

Easy communication, helpful, insightful, good game drives
Have used KET Safaris 3 different times dating back to 2016. Always had great experiences with communication prior to the trip and the trip itself. Have seen the big 5 on several occasions, the lodging has been great, and KET has been willing and helpful in customizing parts of a journey or helpful in booking ancillary services (ie a train ticket).
Thanks to the team for great experiences.

Awesome, helpful and extremely friendly, fitted tye tour around our needs
We had the most amazing trip. Our driver/guide was Mwendwa who was fantastic. We were picked on Easter Sunday and started our safari, leaving Mombassa driving up to Nairobi Airport.
We travel up to Salt Lick hotel, wow what an amazing place. We saw some amazing wild life.
From Salt lick we travelled to Amboseli where we stayed over night. We had a really early start as we went on a Kilimanjaro balloon ride. The cloud cleared and we saw the top of Kilimanjaro. The sun came up and we were just skirting the tops of the trees with the balloon. Everyone really enjoyed the balloon ride
I can honestly say we had the most amazing safari.
We also visited a Masai Village where the boys in our party joined to tribal jumping competition
There were 8 of us, the Grandchildren were amazed with what they saw. We all travelled in a 4x4 and went down some unusual tracks but saw some sights that we probably eouldnt have seen otherwise
They had the first rains in two years, which meant the desert had started to turn a lush green with the wonderful flowers bursting out all over the place.
We saw, elephants with babies, zebras with young, lions and cubs, hippos and babies, warthogs and young. Just to name a few, saw loads more animals and an amazing number of birds

Incredible!
Could not recommend this more. I was overwhelmed by the choice of operators and was recommended Paul by a friend - it completely surpassed all our expectations. All communication before, during and after was prompt. Our guide was an absolute pleasure to hang out with all day, he made sure the only thing we had to worry about was having a good time. The accommodation was great and most importantly we had so many incredible encounters with the animals. Worth every penny.
Amazing! Best tourism ever had! Safari experience beyond expectations
Great Safari experience! Paul has rich experience, communicated smoothly in English throughout the process, and provided considerate service ~ Living maps of many national parks in Kenya! It took us to see many shocking scenes (the kind that will be unforgettable in a lifetime)! Recommended

Our Seventh Safari with KETS
We always use KETS when visiting our Sheldrick elephant orphans. KETS provides reliable service to the Sheldrick Centers at Umani, Ithumba, Nairobi, and Voi. As we need to bring our own food, the driver helps us shop at the Emali food stalls.
Paul Mwendwa, KETS owner, is a trustworthy and honorable gentleman. He always provides a competitive quote. We highly recommend KETS, especially for Sheldrick patrons.
