Excellent tour, a range of activities and fantastic value. Knowledgeable and helpful staff!
I used African Breeze tours to book a 5 day tour of Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Navaisha and Hells Gate National Park. The tour was fantastic value, accommodation was adequate and the meals provided were of a good quality. The staff were extremely helpful, prior to booking they communicate well and helped tailor the trip to my requirements. During the safari the staff demonstrated excellent knowledge of the local area and were able to spot and provide information on all the local wildlife. The tour company were very accommodating with pick up and drop offs in Nairobi. I would definitely recommend booking through African Breeze, they exceeded all of my expectations! I will be sure to use the company again if i am ever fortunate enough to return to Kenya. Thank you for making holiday a trip which I will remember for the rest of my life!

Friendly and professional staff that give a lifetime Safari Experience !
I came to Know Catherine online where we arranged everything then I met here personally at Nairobi airport where she was waiting me despite my late flight .
She arranged 4 days Safari ( Masai Mara and lake Nakuru ) and later I extended it one day more as I found it wonderful experience .
Friendly staff and reasonable prices that will fit all the levels .
Was able to spot the all big five due to the so talented driver/guide ( plus some luck )
I strongly recommend it if you want a real African experience with very honest and professional team

Fabulous experience with African Breeze Tours
Catherine was experienced in what she does, and she does it with passion and excellence .. me and my family had an experience of a lifetime , our expectations were met, the price was competitive, the tour driver/guide and Catherine ensured that the trip was worthy more than what we paid for. we did enjoy to our maximum and carried memories of lifetime. I will surely travel back to Kenya for a safari through Catherine's company . I have highly recommended her company to my co-workers and friends.

Excellent,very good Company
Few things command more respect than hard work,Integrity,dedication and ability to follow through.These are among attributes we experienced from start to finish when organizing our trip to MasaiMara with African Breeze Tours.
An excellent listeners and pays attention to details.The choice of Mara Ashnil tented Camp was perfect for us.Driver guide skilled and reliable and the vehicle was always clean and completely stocked with bottled drinking water.
We had a fantastic 3 days safari experience and would highly recommend anyone to choose the operator.
We promise to be back next year Cate and your team.

What more can you ask for?
While this experience is still fresh in my mind, but yet so distant that I have now had time to take all the impressions in, I'll try to give a written impression of the amazing tour I had.
We were a group of 3 girls who went on a budget safari to Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha and Hells gate. We were picked up at our hotel in Nairobi and without any complaints we made a stop for half an hour on the way, to check on our friend in the hospital. Cate, who arranged the tour for us, told us that in case our friend got better of course she could come join our safari, no problem. On the last day Cate even went to check up on our friend before we got home, because sadly she didn't get well enough to meet out in Masai Mara. The staff (Cate, our driver and cook) were genuinely concerned for our friend. That was really heartwarming and safe.
Besides from this not planned for event, everything was super smooth. We didn't have to think about food, accommodation or anything. We just had to enjoy the trip, which was easy because we were where we were.
We really enjoyed everything from the driving games, to the food (we still talk about this amazing food we had), the campsite, the other guys we shared the car with, the bike ride to Hells Gate and of course the air balloon ride. I would recommend every one to try the balloon ride even though it means getting up at 4 am, it ends with champagne breakfast in the middle of Masai Mara among the animals.
I'm never gonna forget the days I spent on a safari in Kenya and African Breeze Tours made it possible for me not to worry about a thing and just enjoy this very special time. It felt beyond a budget tour. The tents had bathrooms and electricity!
I would highly recommend ABT to every one going on a Safari.

The operator you can rely on!
I had an eight days trip. Although there were a lot of changes due to the other folks not showing up in the end, African Breeze Team really handled it well. I was worried at the beginning due to the changes but the team was very professional. I have travelled a lot in the past but my trip to Kenya was the most amazing one I have done. Highly recommended.

My experience with African Breez Tours
This was our first safari and we are very happy that we chose to book through African Breeze Safaris. Right from the word go, the team made it a seamless experience.
Cate was always quick to respond and kept us up-to-date on all information. David, our safari guide did a fantastic job - be it his driving on the highway (very safe) or in the parks making every effort for us to see and enjoy the wildlife and the natural beauty. We must especially thank David for his patience with our 10 year old's incessant questions! The vehicle was well maintained, equipped and comfortable - we were a bit apprehensive about spending 7 days traveling by road, but it turned out to be a very enjoyable experience. A big thanks to the entire team.
Hakuna matata!

Safari adventures in 5 of the National Parks of Kenya with a variety of accomodations.
The main strength of African Breeze is the owner Cate....who is determined to provide the best possible experience on each safari. She is excellent at communicating by email in advance, by text and phone in Kenya and in person....she was always available and would follow through with every plan that we made - organizing insurance coverage for the safari and purchasing bus tickets for us and dropping them off where we were staying even after our safari was finished. Indeed she felt like our guardian angel while we were in Kenya and always seemed to be there when we needed her.
Cate has the daunting task of coordinating drivers and visitors and dealing with the unexpected.
We had been expecting to be on safari with another couple but we never got to meet them as they postponed their trip at the last minute. We ended up on our safari with a private driver for the same cost. Spending 7 days together we learned about our driver and he would answer our questions about everything we saw. He admitted that he never knew what each day would hold in store for us....but there was never a shortage of animals or sights to see. Our vehicle was comfortable and we felt very safe. Our only suggestion was that a cooler with cold water would have been nice to have along...also to help keep our picnic lunch cool. We stayed in 4 different locations all well organized and comfortable but each one was unique so an interesting variety. The food ranged from fantastic to very good.... the only exception was the one day picnic lunch which was poor.
We enjoyed our initial 7 day safari so much that we used African Breeze again for a 2 day/1 night trip to Amboseli National Park. Cate organized for us to stay at a perfect camp and provided us with an excellent driver who was very passionate about Kenya and willing to share his knowledge and understanding of the country.
African Breeze made all of our Safari Dreams come true and we are very grateful to Cate for her skills and for her kindness to us.
