What a better way to spend my holiday in Kenya Mara away from the cold here in Germany
I would love to commend your excellent hospitality. Your kindness was second to none. I enjoyed the trip/game drive. Your tour guides were very friendly and smart. I would visit Mara Kenya again. You made my trip worthy. Thank you Venture Africa and keep it up.

Great Value for the Price
Did a 7 Day Safari and was very nice. The accommodation were comfortable, plenty of food and friendly people. Saw all of the big 5 except Leopards The Safari guide was very knowledgeable of the animals and gave us excellent insight not only about the animals but also about the landscape and trees. Next time however I would do a shorter safari, after a while we were seeing the same animals. Still a nice adventure’

2 Days 1 Night Masai Mara Safari
Tour went very well. Special thanks to our awesome driver, Coxtone and our exceptional Tour Coordinator, Diana for making this experience worth our time. I would definitely recommend and use them again for any future tours.

Good experience
The Agency is well organize, the personnel is very kind and helpful. The transport it is not very comfortable, the car was quite old and since we had to expend many hours in the car, on very bumpy roads, it was a bit hard for us. The tends were just very simple and basic with a lot of mosquitoes and the mosquito nets were not very functional. Food was good. Overall we had a good experience, we saw many animals.

Nicely organised and great experience!
The operators were helpful and prompt in communication. Ours was a 7 day trip to 4 Safari Parks - Masai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha anc Amboseli ... we managed to go to the Equator too. The travel between places was long with some delays related to weather and traffic but the drivers were skilful. Good food and tour guides were knowledgeable and helped us see the Big Fives! Enjoyable and unforgettable experience!

A great and adventurous experience with courteous staff guiding every step.
Communications is good and i must commend the company the good staff they have. It is understandable given the big numbers at Maasai Mara for the Christmas holiday not everything was expected to be 100% but it was a worthy experience. The safari tour itself is good but there always room for improvement and additions which i believe the company is seized. Mara i think is an expansive area which can be explored more though i fully understand this will increase the number of days one takes and the cost. This i humbly think would be a good consideration for the company as they plan ahead.

Amazing Masaimara
I went to Kenya for GES 2015 and I had no plans of going to Masaimara but I heard so much about the place that I abruptly decided to go. I was looking for a Safari operator and met Diana. It was Sunday but still she helped me book my tour. I was extremely happy to receive their cooperation and hospitality. They worked hard to help me make the most use of my time and I am thankful to them.

Venture Safaris: well organized visit to amazing parks in Kenya
Organzied by Venture Africa Budget Safaris, we had an unforgettable 4-days trip to Masai-Mara and Lake Nakuru. Both parks were amazing beatiful, the weather was great, making the trip a huge success. Price-quality ratio was perfect, also the drive to both parks was well organized. At the start, we departed from Ngong (1-hr from Nairobi) to Venture’s office. Prior, it was quite unclear were to meet Venture’s employees in Nairobi. After many questions to the organization, it became more clear where they wanted to meet. Hostels and food was good. During our drive, the car crashed. It took many hours before we continued our trip to Nakura, that was a pity and required a lot of energy. Overall, the organization was well done and really enjoyed the trip. Afterwards, we were a bit spammed for writing this review, so be prepared ;)..

Far below expectations
I did the 1-night stay tour and it was quite a disappointment. Game drives are too short in duration (overall 5 hours) while 11+ hours are needed to go to Masai Mara and back. Period is supposed to be ideal to see the great migration, but we didn't get the chance to see it, as "there was not enough time to go to the river", which is practically a matter of tour guide decision! Staying at the outskirts of the reserve, close to the gate, automatically meant less chances of seeing all the animals. In fact we got to see just 3 out of the big 5 (lion, buffalo, elephant), and not even other animals that are supposed to be present in large numbers (cheetahs, crocodiles, hyenas etc), which doesn't make any real difference compared to going to Nairobi National Park which is right next to the capital. No comment on the accomodation or food, as these are definetely secondary issues for all visitors. If i knew before, I wouldn't do it.
