Netherken are an Outstanding tour operator and everything about the safari was brilliant.
5/5

We have recently been on the 3 day highlights of Tsavo with Netherken and everything about the tour was superb. The communication with Ton by email before we arrived was so reassuring and took away alot of my concerns. The service and help we received once we arrived in Kenya was amazing. We missed our connecting flight in Nairobi and Mahmood was still there to greet us in Mombasa 2 hours later. He was helpful and friendly right from the off. He even helped us to get a lift to the local shopping mall from the apartment manager. Another friendly person. As for the safari, the two lodges ,Ngulia and Voi were perfect. Brilliant views and food and drinks. The game drives, 6 in total took in the magnificent beauty of Tsavo west and Tsavo east. We saw 4 of the big five. Sadly, due to poaching in the Rhino sanctuary, we couldn't go into the sanctuary. But the views of all the other animals, plenty of Elephant, Buffalo, Giraffe the rare lion sighting and the view of the two leopards at Ngulia feeding will live long in the memory. Also the sightings of the smaller animals and birds, helped by the keen eye and expertise of Mahmood, were amazing. At times you didn't know were to look. The scenery is magnificent, rolling plains, scrub, the classic Acacia trees and stunning hills and mountains.
The vehicle was very comfortable with great views and not too hot, sheltered from the sun. The value for money was excellent. I compared many safaris and this one , for us ,was a great combination of seeing plenty at the right price. Highly recommended.

Easy going and always smiling tourguide
5/5

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!!

Amazing trip to Tsavo East and West
5/5

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
5/5

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.

Just perfect
5/5

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.

Great experience of the Safari Best of Tsavo East & West
5/5

The safari was well planned, with a very nice driver. The big plus was we had a private tour, so we could go and stop as we pleased. We saw the big 5 in 2 days! The 2 lodges we stayed in were perfect and added a lot to the tour. I highly recommend this safari, it’s real value for tour money.

great touroperator with clear and honest advise
5/5

Clear communication and information about the safari before booking. We had a skilled driver with a lot of experience in spotting animals. he was always punctual and good natured. we did the tsavo east/west taita hills 4 days, all the lodges were situated on a magnificent location, although most were simple accomodations this did not bother us because everything was clean and the food (especially Salt lick) was good.
The price was good for what was offered and i would recommend Neherken to everyone.
