Easy going and always smiling tourguide
We were a group of five, it was me and my three young adult children and my sons girlfriend. The driver was fantastic, always smiling, always drivning very safely and continiously looking to do the extra mile for his guests. I had trouble in doing the payment, from Sweden to Kenya, but after several e-Mails back and fourth with my bank and Netherken we finally solved it. Thanks for one of the most memorable holidays we have ever experienced!!

Perfect Trips
We did a 2 day Tsavo East Safari and a day trip to Hell’s Kitchen. Both were just perfect, reliable, safe guides. We would definitely recommend Netherken!
Amazing trip to Tsavo East and West
We had the best 2 night 3 day safari with Abdalla and Netherken Safaris & Tours to Tsavo east and west.
Abdalla was very attentive throughout our trip and he worked over and above to ensure we saw as many animals as possible. He was fantastic at locating all the animals especially the big 5, and always seemed to know what they were going to do next, giving us an incredible moment with lions and their cubs. Abdalla was very knowledgeable about the local area and was always giving us interesting facts about different places. He was always very punctual and worked super hard to give us the best experience.
Both the hotels we stayed at had amazing views and we saw elephants from our room windows. We would definitely recommend Netherken Safaris & Tours and Abdalla as a Safari guide.

Unforgettable experience ! Hakuna matata
My girlfriend Sofia and I spent 4 days and 3 nights on a Safari in Tsavo/Amboseli National Park with Netherken agency and it was the most exciting experience of our lives! All details or doubts were managed properly!
We strongly wish to thank our guide Mamhood for making our tour magical, thanks to his amazing sight in looking for animals in the savana and his will to share his culture and experiences with us. He introduced us to the Kenyan traditions, beauty and nature, communicating also the contradictions and problems of his land. African sunsets in the savana will remain impressed in our memories and we will leave a part of our hearts in Africa.

Excellent service
I send a message to several operator, but Netherken was only one who really read and answer my question and gave personalized answer. It was easy choice for me. Our co-operation worked very well but unfortunately there was 2 quite big things what I'm not pleased.
1. I choose traveling to the Fig Tree camp by airplane. When I was returning back to Nairobi, plane didn't come at all and there was nobody on the airstrip who knows anything what to do. Mombasa air didn't inform us anyhow to the hotel or there was not anybody answering for us what we should do. Netherken's number didn't answer. I still don't know how, but we got 2 pilot's who bring we back to Nairobi just 1,5 hours late.
It's not so big thing, but somehow they should inform customers if there is technical problems and delays.
2. Don't by any extras beforehand!
I bought also Hot balloon safari many months before. It was mistake.
I get ill there (stomach ailment from the first lunch). Cause I couldn't leave bathroom at all, I couldn't go to the flight.
I was not happy when I heard that they will not return my money even they were selling those hot balloon flights there in Fig Tree Camp all the time for next morning every day. I mean, they didn't have to say anybody that all flights are sold out, and that way they didn't loose any new customer because of my illness. I feel it was not fair.
I didn't get it even from travel insurance cause I didn't understand that I should get doctor. Reception said that it's in Nairobi so I didn't think it's necessary after 1,5 days yet.
So don't buy any extras beforehand, you can get them later on the camp as well!
The Fifth Tree Camp is beautiful and very nice place and 1 game drive I had possible to join was amazing!
I can recommend that even my 2 deplorable experiences.
As well I can recommend Netherken as well. I'm sure they will develop communication between Mosambik air, The Fig Tree Camp and Netherken itself.

Reliable
We were in Kenya on March 2023, we were a group of 6 people with 1 jeep, driver name is Abdullah.
Our experience was good, we saw a lot of animals, except leopard, cheetah and rhino, but we saw lots of elephants, zebra, antelopes, and lions. Mybe my vote should have been excellent if we had seen all (naturally I perfectly know that it is only a matter of fortune, but the animlas you saw or didn't see influence your judgement ... believe me ...)
However, speaking of SERVICE: we stay 3 nights, one at VOY in Tsavo East, that was nice with a pool (for the animlas) just in front of the resort (that has also a pool for guest), one night at Sentrim Safari Lodge in Amboseli (this is a tended camp really very good) and 1 night at Ngulia Safari Lodge in Tsavo West, also in this case a pool (for the animlas) just behind of the resort (that has also a pool for guest) - we spent nice days, every locations have the swimming pool so you can relax between the morning and afternoon safaris. We had good lunch and dinner (and naturally breakfast) , maybe food speaking VOY was a little bit under the level of the others.
Reliability: very good, we have a problem with our car, so unfortunately we lost time but, thanks to our EXCELLENT Driver it was fixed promptly.
I repeat Abdullah was perfect ! The jeep that we have seemed brad new, so we were only unlucky.

Just perfect
We booked the 4-day safari. Our safari went through Tsavo West, Tsavo East and Amboseli National Park. My wife, our 11 year old son and I were all very, very satisfied.
Machut was our guide and driver. We benefited from his many years of experience right from the start. Already at the first stop he spotted a crocodile and a hippo with his trained eye. And the following days were just as exciting. We saw and admired all the big fives at the end of our safari. The lodges were also really great and exceeded our expectations. The locations of the lodges were all unique and the special thing was the watering holes for the animals. So we sat at dinner and we could watch elephants, zebras, buffalos and many other animals from a safe distance. A better entertainment is not possible on a safari.
But also the catering, the cleanliness and the service were completely to our satisfaction. Despite the long distances on partly improvised roads, Machut always drove us safely from A to B. We had unforgettable safari experiences. With this safari we had unforgettable days in Kenya.
