Excellent Safari Experience
I was referred to KET safaris based on recommendations posted inside of a travel group. I also contacted several tour companies (upwards of 20) based on Kenya's Tourism Board official list. After many emails and requests I finally decided to go with KET safaris. They offered a very competitive price for the type of accommodation (luxury) that I was requesting for my honeymoon. Paul the owner was very responsive and detailed in providing me with all information needed that made me feel like I was making the right choice. The wire deposit apparently is a standard safari practice and no issues occurred. Duncan was our tour guide for our 4 day/3 night trip to Lake Navaisha, Lake Nakuru and the Mara. Duncan was a pleasure to work with and very knowledgeable. I definitely would recommend KET safari to any of my family, friends, or associates. Great customer service!

Out of this world
Prompt helpful service. This was the best holiday we have ever had. We stayed at Ashnil Mara camp which in itself was truly amazing with fabulous staff especially Fred.
Our guide Cornelius was just beyond superb with eyes like an eagle and very knowledgeable in animal life and where to go to get the fantastic pics of the wildlife.
We really didn’t want it to end and saving now for our next safari. We did 4 days/3nights in Masai Mara. Next time we will do a longer safari. No day was the same, and even if we didn’t see an animal for twenty minutes or so, it was just so amazing and the peace was out of this world.
A truly amazing experience, thank you KET.

most beautiful two weeks safari in Kenya - just perfect
We can highly recommend KETSafaris - Paul Mwendwa. Everything went great, from the booking and preparation to the end of our trip. We have seen many beautiful places and animals of course - hiking in Mount Kenya NP, game drive in beautiful Samburu NP and Sweetwater's Wildlife Sanctuary, relaxation and recreation on Lake Nakuru and Lake Naivasha, and finally the magnificent Masai Mara. The accommodations were all very good and the food was excellent. A big thank you to our super driverguide Patrick, he has kept calm in all situations and always brought us safely to the destination. We will definitely come back as soon as possible, there are still many places to visit in Kenya after our second trip, but above all the warmth and kindness. Thanks again to Paul, Patrick and the whole team. Best regards from Switzerland - Zinedin, Esma and Jan

Excellent service all round!
My wife and I organised a 9 day safari through KET and I would definitely recommend using them! It is the second time that I have used them and again, they did not disappoint. Unlike almost all other operators that we contacted who tried to force us to go with their standard safari tours, KET actually listened and put together the exact itinerary that we wanted. They were also considerably cheaper than any of the other operators and in no way compromised on quality! When initially researching the trip, we emailed Paul many times with different itineraries and places to stay and each time he responded very promptly and professionally, always happy to help.
Our guide, Saba, was excellent and great fun to be around. He worked tirelessly in order to try and get us the best sightings and the result was that we saw much more than we could have ever dreamed of!
Also, extra credit must go to Paul and his team for all the hard work they did in order to get our luggage back to us after it had been lost on our flight into Kilimanjaro. They had to deal with the incompetence of Kenya Airways who had no idea where our bags were for a couple of days and once they had found them, refused to send them to where we were staying. It is only because of the hard work of the KET team that we got our bags back at all - for which we are very grateful!
For anyone looking to go to either Kenya or Tanzania for safari, look no further than KET!

Perfect
Everything was perfect; the lodges were nice and friendly, meals were good and various, animals in the parks and the African landscapes were unforgettable.
But the best thing of our trip was .... our driver Cornelius!
He drove safely and He drove all the time looking for animals to make us see as much as possible, until the last minute of the last day when He drove us where a leopard was hidden among the branches of a tree. A very exciting spot!
Here is the photo of our beautiful team.

Perfect holiday with great drivers/guides and accommodations
I have now travelled twice with Kenya Expresso Tours, Once in October 2017 with my partner and in August 2018 in a group of 8 made up of family and friends. Paul was great in organising each trip. For the first trip I emailed several tour operators and KET quoted the most affordable price for the same itinerary. He even recommended a few small changes which turned out to be perfect. After the tour we sat down in his office and planned the two week tour for 2018 with my family. I had named each of the places we wanted to visit and with Pauls expert knowledge on the parks and accommodations he was able to recommend the order we visit each park, as well as the best accommodations in each park for our budget and needs.
We have just returned for the family trip and it was amazing. Everyone loved all 6 accommodations and is already wanting to return within the next three years. We saw all the animals we wanted to see including lion cubs, a leopard, lions hunt and make a kill, the great migration, chimpanzee sanctuary, the critically endangered Northern White Rhino, African fish eagles catching fish along side our boat in Lake Naivasha. We even saw some rare species such as a stripped hyena. We even saw lions, cheetahs, hyenas eating fresh kills on several occasions.
Our drivers Patrick and Cornelius where excellent. Both where very friendly, professional and had a high knowledge of all the animals we saw and where able to answer any questions we had. They were both also great at finding animals while driving even some that where well hidden.
I highly recommend if you want to travel across East Africa to go with Kenya Expresso Tours.

Excellent Service at a Good Price
We went on 7 days Safari to Masai with KET. Paul and Guide Patrick were very helpful. Had a wonderful experience.
All accomodations and arrangements were very good. Would certainly recommend them. They customize the tour; but make sure you communicate and get the prices from Paul. No non-sense, excellent tour. Will certainly do it again with them. Thanks again KET.
