Wonderful and amazing
The service was excellent. They were considerate and caring. They made sure that everyone was alright and had enough water and food for the whole group. I got to learn a lot about Hell's Gate as we walked through the gorges.

Great Safari company and Guide! Amazing experience!
Went with my wife on a safari trip to Kenya and booked it with Simon of Kenya Safaris Holidays. We visited Samburu, Ol Pejeta, Naivasha and Maasai Mara in February of 2019.
Simon was very helpful during the booking phase. Even though we booked it in short notice, he worked to arrange us accomodations that were good value for the money we had and even helped with some last minute changes my wife requested. Simon was also very knowledgeable regarding parks and conservancies and his help was very important for us in building a great itinerary. Our accomodations were as we expected and we had no problems with it during the trip.
Sammy, our guide, stayed with us for the 8 days our trip lasted. A reliable driver who knows the parks very well. He has an amazing eye for animals and specially to predict where they are moving next, so we were able to enjoy some unbelievable views of elephants, lions, leopards, rhinos and other animals from an extremely close range, while not getting us in any dangerous situations or breaching park regulations. Also, he speaks very good Spanish, which will certainly be a plus if you are a Spanish speaker yourself (or Brazilian like ourselves who know a bit of the language).
Overall we had an amazing time. Simon, Sammy & co provided us incredible value for the money we payed. I definitely reccomend their services and would book with them if went back to Kenya again in the future.

Wonderful day trip at Hell's Gate & Lake Naivasha - experienced the Lion King Scenes!
The tour guide and service provider Simon was very helpful on everything, from the discussion before the trip - very flexible to let me adjust the content, schedule and timing, as well as willing to answer all my questions in details - to the day trip - introducing me very much details on everything about the spots and Kenya! The tour was well arranged that I didn't have to worry about anything, once I arrived at Hell's Gate I got my bike and I could start biking, and I could get back to the jeep whenever I was tired. Simon is also the best photographer! I did have a amazing experience and day for this tour.

Great experience, especially the cycling through the park!
Thank you, Simon!

Excellent service from start to finish
Simon didn't just book us the perfect safari, he looked after us from day one, keeping us informed from the moment of our enquiry and throughout. He didn't join us on the actual safari, entrusting us to our driver/guide 'Peter', but was there to see us off and welcome us back. The whole trip surpassed our expectations, I would not hesitate to recommend Simon (and Peter).

Great experience and top service
Kenya Safaris Holiday since the very first stages in the organisation of our holiday provided the kindest and most professional service. Simon, the manager, was very helpful, also regarding other aspects of our trip not directly connected to the safari, and Peter, the driver and safari guide, was kind, professional and helpful throughout the three days he spent with us. I strongly recommend Kenya Safaris Holiday for a memorable experience.

Hell's Gate was a Walk-Bike Through The Paradise
We booked our 1 day Hell's Gate Biking Safari Trip through the Kenya Safari Holidays. Simon was quick to respond back on our questions related to the trip and helped with the bookings.
Biking through the Safari was an amazing experience. We saw zebras, giraffes, wildebeest, gazelles, pumbas and impalas to name a few. The biking started from the entrance to the national park. A jeep containing all our stuff was following us closely, so that we could just relax and enjoy our bike ride. At the turning point, we were exhausted so decided to take the jeep ride back.
Simon is a friendly and nice guide. He arranged pick up and drop off to our hotel at Nairobi. We spoke about a lot of things on the way to and from the national park - about Kenya's culture, history and the people. We picked up a few courtsey words in Swahili as well - like Asante Sana and Karibu :-)
Overall, I would highly recommend doing this trip with the Kenya's Safari Holidays. We stayed in Kenya for 3 days only, and it wasn't enough to explore the richness of flora and fauna the country is gifted with. We certainly plan to visit Kenya again in the future, and when we do, we would like to avail the services of Kenya Safari Holidays.
