Everything was professional.
After the reservation, the communication worked perfectly. All my questions were answered immediately. We were satisfied with the service in terms of value for money.The accommodations and food were fine.
Our guide, Anthony, was very kind and professional. He always solved any problems during the tour. He tried to make us enjoy the safari and see as many animals as possible.

The tour operator was professional, attentive, respectful and knowledgeable.
Jason was hands down the best safari guide in the park. Words can’t describe how special he made our safari experience. We are forever grateful for his expertise, adaptability and kindness. #Big5Forever

Good value
I chose the 7 day safari, Maasai Mara lake Nakuru lake Naivasha and Amboseli. The accommodation was basic but clean and the beds were comfortable, the food was good and all the staff were polite and friendly. Our driver and guide Simon worked really hard. His driving inspired confidence in him and his knowledge of the animals and how to find them was excellent. At the end of the day if you’ve spent hundreds or thousands of pounds to be on safari the animals don’t care as they’rejust living their lives. I spent hundreds and not thousands and in my opinion it was good value.

Gave me the trip of a lifetime
I booked through a third party who booked my trip with baboon safaris and next time I’ll just book with them direct. The trip itself was incredible. It was a budget group for the first part (Masai Mara to amboseli) and then private solo trip for the last part (tsavo east and west then back to Nairobi). My tour guide Anthony was knowledgeable about birds and animals and just genuinely nice to talk to! He came on time and kept me informed of the schedule and what we were doing. Truly the kind of trip dreams are made of!

The tour guide Anthony made the safari trip worth while!
We saw a cheetah kill on this safari trip!! This was the greatest highlight of the safari trip itself and Anthony (tour instructor/guide) is the one that made it happen :)

Adventurous Safari
Day 1-Day 3 was Masai-Mara. We spent about 1 and half days in this place and got to see so many buffalos, lions (can you imagine), giraffes, antelopes, hippos, crocodiles. We ended the tour by visiting the Masai Village (we did the Masai dance, visit their homes etc) and you have to spend about 4000 to 6000 Kenyan shillings to support the Masai people who have products on sale.
Day 3 to Day 4 was Lake Nakuru. We saw many baboons and flamingos, really beautiful sight and it was worth the drive. We saw a few lions but not as many as those in Masai Mara.
Day 5 was Amboseli National Park. We saw many elephants including the young ones. We managed to see an elephant crossing the road, just a few meters from our car. It was really amazing. We also saw Zebras, giraffes and in the background it was Mountain Kilimanjaro. This was such a beautiful and wonderful sight.
Day 6 was Naivasha. Here we did a boat ride. It was amazing. We saw many hippos and and the guide showed us how an eagle catches a fish. So he threw one and the eagle flew so fast and caught the fish. It was amazing. After the boat ride, we got to see many other places including the hot springs and guys the water was hot, this was amazing.
Our guide was called Boniface, he is really excellent, well versed with the animals and the places. He is very nice guy. I thank him for all his efforts and care he provided to us during the Safari. If you want to go for a Safari and have fun at the same time, he's the one you should go for. I think that's all of it.
It was really fun and adventurous Safari.

AMAZING EXPERIENCE WITH BONI
Boni is the best driver I have ever met. It has been an incredible experience, we have felt at home. They have helped us in everything and taught us the best of Kenya. We definitely recommend it 100%!

Well organized
A very complete safari, not only Masai Mara, but also Nakuru and Navaisha (for 30$ extra you take a boat around). We were also lucky to be guided by Boniface, a true expert and an enthusiast of Kenyan fauna who did not hesitate to take us wherever it was necessary to observe the animals of the Masai Mara.
Note: If you pay in euro the will charge you the market exchange to Kenyan chelins

Good driver, good experience but fair company
Our driver Anthony was good, reliable and responsible. He tried his best to get us da best place to see the animals! We saw the big five! The animals were so closed to us! Amazing
As for the company, it’s just fair cuz I wasted so much time on the payment in the office. They would convinced you to take money from the bank rather than paying by card so that they can charge you more from the rate. So remember to bring enough USD/EURO if you don’t want to waste your time on the bank. This happened to other tourists from other companies too. They play the same.
One more thing you need to expect is that you’ll stay with other tourists from other companies and they might have different schedules, so you will not follow the exact schedule that they’ve sent you.
But the only thing matters is the driver and the ppl staying with you in the tour! So gd luck!
Highly recommend Anthony btw.
