Good, solid budget safari
Samburu trails delivered what was promised and I had a very satisfying safari.
It’s a budget safari, so for those who need/want luxury look elsewhere. Otherwise the organization was very correct, timetables were respected, there were no hidden costs, game drives were as promised.
The accommodation was in a tented camp, simple but clean and quiet and each tent had its own bathroom and shower. There was even hot water every now and then and electricity a few hours a day.
The driver was brilliant and tireless, fairly knowledgeable and very friendly to us, we did get to see a lot of wildlife.
The food was abundant and well prepared.
My few complaints: we had lots of space in the van the first two days but they packed it full on the third day. It would be nice to have an extra person on the van that can tell people a bit more about what we are seeing.

Great safari experience
Samburu Trails offered us what they promised and in a very good price. We did a 4 days safari in masai mara which was great. We saw all the animals we expected to see and the guides were very good. Highly recommended for a budget safari.

Easter was great in the Masai Mara
We had a fabulous 3days 2nights trip in Masai Mara with my family over the Easter holiday, we got a good offer and booked with samburu trails the driver Kennedy was great and showed us a lot accommodation at Destiny Eco Camp was lovely too. we recommend Samburu Trails.
great easter holiday
Easter holiday was great in mombasa at milele beach hotel thanks to samburu Trails
Camping in samburu
Mobile tent camping in the wild of the Samburu game reserves was an experience that we could not have had if we were safely packed into a permanent tent on a platform in a significantly expensive accommodation. Learning to use a bush shower and toilet was fun and adventurous.
Overall we are happy with the trip
Overall we are happy with the trip, it was exactly what we wanted. The program was excellent, the accommodation first rate and logistics handled seamlessly. there was a small issue with the transfers between 2 towns, but it was sorted out very quickly as soon as we pointed it out.

Our expectations were high, and this safari exceeded them!
We saw everything we hoped to see and more. We saw lions, cheetahs, elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, hippos, a hyena, ostriches, baboons, rhinos, and dozens of other animals, including a wide variety of birds. It was unbelievable! Our driver/guide Arumi was friendly and polite. He gave us plenty of time to photograph everything we wanted, and it was obvious that he knew the Maasai Mara really well. We felt safe, even when we were a few feet away from a big cat. The camp where we stayed the first two nights was perfect, and the people were so accommodating. The hotel we stayed in the third night was very nice too. The food was good, and we had plenty of opportunities to shop on the way to and from our destinations. I would highly recommend this safari company!
The last natural trails in Kenya
My brother and I used Samburu trails to organize a safari for us at the Mara. The organization process was very prompt, and Robert was very quick with his reply. we were on a tight budget and he gave us several option for group joining safari,next year will come with my son and have a long kenya safari..
