Very nice safari with Mahmud!
5/5

We really loved our 3 day safari with Mahmud. He was very kind, had a sharp eye for animals and is an excellent driver (even on muddy roads after a rainy night). We highly recommend this your if you would like to see Tsavo’s highlights in a compact tour!

Professional service from start to finish with an excellent local guide - Mahmoud.
5/5

Communication with the operator was excellent before we arrived in Kenya, pick up from the hotel was on time and pre-arranged. Our guide was friendly and helpful and ensured we were able to see all of the top 5 within our 3 day safari. The safari lodges were lovely from our brief overnight stays. Would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a comprehensive safari experience that is hassle free. Mahmoud our guide and driver on the safari was also exceptional and couldn't recommend him enough.

Your money worth
4/5

Reliable organization. Mahmud, our driver is a very pleasant person and very punctual. He knows the different animals and even many birds by name. We were in Kenia not only for the big game but also for the birds, large and small. Mahmud was also interested in all the wildlife. He respects nature and acts accordingly. Price-quality ratio is good and we were very positively surprised about the locations of the lodges in the parks. We have been to Tsavo East, Amboseli and Tsavo West with Netherken. We are very satisfied and definitely recommend this organization.

An exceptional way to experience Kenya
5/5

As our first trip to Kenya, we were ready for an adventure but managed our expectations.

With Netherken however our trip went from an exciting adventure to a lifelong memory. From day one we already began making plans to come back all because of Rashid, our tour guide, and every Kenyan we encountered.

The safari itself was magical and very well organized to the point that once we were off the schedule we felt it's absence. The lodge's we stayed at were breathtaking with views of elephants and wildebeest and baboon's right outside the lodge.

The whole journey was virtually perfect as it was planned really well by Netherken and executed perfectly by Rashid who went above and beyond to make our experience as memorable as possible. Kenya is a must for anyone who can and Netherken Safaris is a fantastic way to do just that.

Amaizing Experience with Badru!
5/5

Very fun and Nice safari! We got the best reception from Badru and had a friendly tone during the entire trip! He made sure that we got to see the animals upclose and knew exactly where the animals would be! He was very tolerant with us and made sure that we had absorbed every animal experience before moving ahead! Great value for money(the safari lodges were wonderful)! I 100% reccomend! We loved every part of the Trip!! Thank you so much!❤️

Amazing Safari experience
5/5

We, 2 adults (49y and 43y) and 2 children (12y and 9y) had a great time during the 4 days Safari: Tsavo West, Mzima Springs, Amboseli and Tsavo East.

Mahmud is an excellent and prudent driver, he really drives carefully in the highway and also during the safari. He is always looking for the best places to see the animals, where to park with the van for you to take the best photos. He is always exchanging information with the other drivers, so he gets to know where to find the animals. With his help we were able to see all the big 5 and many other animals.

High point was to see the lions in Tsavo East and Amboseli, the cheetah in Tsavo East, the rhino and leopard in Tsavo West as well the hippos in Mzima springs. Elephants, Zebras, Buffalos, Wild beasts, Giraffes, Warthogs, and many others.

All the lodges were good. Accommodation and food was great. Even when arriving a bit late there was always food available for us. You really get value for the money paid.

The most magical holiday ever
5/5

Netherken arranged and delivered the most wonderful short safari for my 12 year old daughter and I. Everything was seamlessly organised using multiple providers, from the driver collecting us in Nairobi to go to Wilson Airport, the flight to the Masai Mara, the driver - who turned out also to be a ranger - who brought us to the Fig Tree Camp who gave us a short dive to see amazing wildlife before we'd even checked in. Fig Tree camp was managed perfectly and all staff were friendly, helpful and genuinely interested in the quality of holiday we experienced. We timed our visit to perfection and saw more than we could reasonably expect - four of the big five in abundance (sadly the Black Rhino is very endangered and quite unsociable, especially when their home is over run with millions of Wlildebeest, notwithstanding nosey humans). We missed the mass migration by 2 hours as we had to return to Nairobi. Netherken cannot be praised highly enough in putting together a good value, high quality service, a perfect safari vacation and a host of memories to last a lifetime. Thank you all at Netherken, you should be proud.

Very satisfied with the whole tour. Driver and guide (Mahmud Ali Khamis) was a true professional that loves his job. The process of reservation and payment with Ton Verheijke was very smooth. Highly recommended for an unforgettable safari in Kenya.
