Great experience with reliable tour operator, absolutely worth it
Everything was exactly as described on the Internetpage of the tour operator, so no bad surprises, problems or anything else to complain about. Nice and cozy lodges in the nationalparks. Driver was gentle and funny and trying his best to get us to see animals.

Excellent organisation of our tour and special support during our trip
We made a Tsavo-tour with Netherken. Everything was well prepared and also special thanks for our driver Mahmoet. We spotted a lot of animals within the first hour and also during the other game drives. Our expectations have certainly been exceeded. Not only because of this but also the special care they delivered during our tour but also after our tour because of some special experiences, we appreciated that a lot. So thanks to all.

Great safari 3 days in Tsavo West and East
All excellent! Thanks to Mahmut for professionalism, courtesy, and incredible eyesight. The vehicle was very comfortable in all terrains. The national parks are extraordinary places in themselves, and lodges are very atmospheric. We saw animals many and diverse: lions, cheetahs, elephants, giraffes, zebras, hippos, oryx, impalas, dik diks, hydrax, etc etc.

Awesome 3 day Masai Mara Safari followed by Spectacular Day at Wasini Island Snorkeling
From the initial email inquiry to the final drop off at the airport Netherken Safaris and Tours took care of our every need.
Communication prior to the trip was prompt and accurate. When we arrived in Nairobi our safari guide was at the hotel early to pick us up. Our baggage had missed the connection in Amsterdam and our guide took us back to the airport so we could be reunited with our bags before embarking on the 5 hour drive to Masai Mara. Once at the Masai Mara National Reserve the guide demonstrated his expertise and passion in not only finding the animals but also provided a running commentary on how the animals live and fit into the environment. The guide really made this trip special and was always willing to answer our questions but also knew when to leave us to ourselves to soak up the experience. One of the last animals the guide showed us was a leopard sitting high in a tree with what looked to be an antelope leg that he was saving for later.....an unbelievable sight and something that the guide went above and beyond to show us.
The accommodations at the Mara Sentrim Camp were perfect, the "tents" were clean and comfortable and the food was welcomed after spending a day in the van viewing the animals. The staff at the camp provided first class service.
The whole safari experience was an incredible value and although there are probably fancier lodges/hotels and we could have spent more and taken a plane into the reserve the trip we had was fantastic. Driving to the reserve was an adventure in itself and stopping to look over the Rift Valley prior to descending to the floor of the valley gave a great sense of perspective. Kenya is a fascinating country and during the drive the guide provided interesting information on the culture.
The snorkeling trip on Wasini Island was also very impressive. Our guide for the day picked us up from our Mombassa hotel and drove us 2.5 hrs to the boat landing for the trip. We snorkeled over the coral reef and was lucky enough to see dolphins and get to briefly get to swim with them. After returning to the island we had a fantastic seafood lunch. The guide then did everything possible to get us back to the airport in time for our 9:00pm flight. When we were stuck in Friday night traffic in Mombassa he knew all the strings to pull to get us to the airport in time. A truly memorable day.
Booking a trip online is always a little bit of a lottery but Netherken really came through for us and provide me and my family a vacation that we will remember forever. They provided everything they said they would and we were really looked after every step of the way. I highly recommend Netherken Safaris and Tours to anyone looking for a fantastic experience while traveling in Kenya.

superb safari, really well organised.
Communication from start to finish were great, the whole experience was faultless, the highlight...so many. Each of the safari lodges were unique in their own way, my personal favourite was Saltlick. The game drives were incredible & will live with us for years, over the 4 days we saw about 35 lions, in one area there was a pride of 12 sat together, 4 adult females & 8 cubs, we also saw 4 leopards. We saw things we can't un see too, things you are compelled to watch as your on safari but kinda wish you hadn't seen. shout out to our driver/guide Mahmud who was exceptional. So many memories to bring home.

Unforgettable experiences with Netherken!
I have been on several 1-day tours and a 3-day Safari with Netherken. Everything has always been perfectly arranged. I am sure I will make a few more trips with this organization. The owners are very nice people and know a lot about the different parks and tours Kenya offers. I think they give reasonable prices for the tours they offer compared to other organizations. I like how they make every trip a unique one exactly as you wish for!
