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.

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.

Excellent safari experience in Tsavo East and West
We booked the highlights of Tsavo (East and West) with Netherken Safaris & Tours, and had no complaints about this whatsoever!
We got picked up at the hotel as scheduled and our guide Mahmud drove us through both national parks, finding as much wildlife as possible.
Everything was well arranged, from the safari-van to the bookings at the lodges. Mahmud took care of all our needs and made sure we saw everything there is to see!

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.

A nice organization
We have had a pleasant experience with Netherken Safaris.
It was nice that we were picked up at one hotel, and dropped off at another hotel after the safari. The driver arranges everything on arrival at the park, and we enjoyed the beautiful nature and animals. The bus is comfortable and the driver stopped when we had seen something. The driver also told us something about the animals and he even helped us with a problem we experienced during our vacation.

Excellent tour with fantastic guide
Our 2-night/3-day tour of East and West Tsavo was very easy to organise through Netherken. They provided us with a detailed itinerary before we arrived in Kenya and answered all our questions in good time.
Early morning pick-up on day 1, drive to Tsavo West with a short stop for coffee. Drive through Tsavo West ( lots of bird/animal spotting en route) to get to Ngulia Lodge which is situated up high with amazing panoramic views of the rhino sanctuary below. The food was great and in the evening we saw elephants on the grounds and a leopard chomping on a hunk of meat.
Day 2, early start to get to Tsavo East which is very different from Tsavo West in terms of the terrain. Beautiful savannah with plenty of wildlife to spot on the way to Voi Lodge which has some of the most stunning views I've ever seen. In the evening we went to find a lion which was basking under the shade of a tree. The food was great at Voi lodge also.
Day 3 we were less lucky spotting animals as it seemed very quiet all around, so we headed back to Mombasa with a nice lunch stop en route.
Our guide, Mahmoud, was one of the loveliest people. Very knowledgeable with 17 years experience under his belt. We were very lucky to have him as our guide. He is also an excellent driver.
Thank you Mahmoud and Netherken for offering us an experience we'll never forget.

Netherken were very good, but our driver/guide Mahmud was great
From the outset, Janet and Ton were responsive and helpful in replying to our emails. The itinerary was detailed enough to offer a good structure to our safari, but was not so rigid that it felt restrictive. Mahmud arrived right on time and from the outset was courteous and informative. The quality of the accommodation and food was varied and was what we had expected or better. The main reason for giving a 5* review was Mahmud. The quality of his driving over all terrain was impressive, in spite of the fact that we had chosen a 2 wheel drive vehicle. The depth of his knowledge of animals and particularly birds was extensive and impressive. He imparted this knowledge with enthusiasm, interest and patience. A minor mechanical issue was dealt with in a prompt and calm way, despite it being New Year's day.

Perfect safari experience
Our safari is finished and I have to say, everything was perfect! We did 4 days: taavo west, east and amboselli.
Rashid made our experience the best possible, he is a real professional!
We felt safe for every second with him. He is the perfect driver! While driving to tsavo east, few vehicles in front of us were stuck in the mudd, but Rashid managed to get through it with no problem at all!
He was friendly and professional, extremly polite and thoughtful, he knows so much of the animals, he knows all the roads, about nature and culture we have learned so much from him! He speaks perfect english!
He was simply the best from all drivers that we have seen and meet, and because of him we know we will be back to kenya!
He is the biggest professional we have ever met in our private and business life and we feel so lucky that he was our driver and guide on this safari.
We saw many animals including lions with cubs ans leopard with cubs. We also saw kilimanjaro from abmoseli.
Also, complimentaries to you for such great organisation and intinerary!
Thank you once again!
