Amazing Trip
After requesting more information about one of their Kenyan Safari packages, Meshack immediately reached out and made the entire planning process extremely easy. His ability to communicate, responsiveness despite an 8 hour time difference, knowledge about the land and what we might prefer along with helping with the lengthy covid requirements really helped ease my mind and made getting to Kenya that much easier.
On arrival, he was standing outside the airport with a driver ready to go with a smile on his face, even after 11 pm. Every member of the team was very courteous and helpful; always on time and ready to help us have the best trip possible. There was also never any stress about checking into the different hotels or lodges and all of the other coordination was extremely smooth. They even went out of their way to research/plan covid testing for us at the end of our trip to be able to return to the States.
James was our safari guide and driver for the duration of the trip and was very nice, on time, and most importantly to me always gave the best opportunity to see the different animals; especially the more elusive ones such as two leopards and 5 cheetahs. While driving through the city roads, it is much different and more chaotic than in the US, but I never worried about his ability to safely get us to the different national parks.
Overall, it was an amazing trip. I was able to see every animal I wanted on the game drives and more! Kenya is a beautiful country with very welcoming and friendly people and I will always remember how special every moment it was; thanks largely in part to Meshack and Alligator Adventures Tours & Safaris.
Asante sane!

Very well organised safari tour operator in Kenya
We did a 6-day safari tour in Kenya with 2 children (aged 9 and 10) organised by Alligator adventures and it was a very nice experience. First contact with the management was nice and efficient. We could tailor one of their tour according to our taste. Once in Kenya, everything went according to the plan. Our driver was very professional and friendly. He was a good tracker as well and, thanks to its perseverance and experience, we could see a lot of animals (among which the big five). We had asked for a land rover vehicle and we didn’t regret it as we could use all the small and sometimes chaotic roads to remote places in the parks where we could spot some of the rarest animals. The accommodations in the different lodges and camps they suggested were really nice and we always got family rooms (or tents) as we requested. Due to weather circumstances, some small adjustments were made in a efficient manner by our point of contact in the agency and well explained in advance. Our flight back home departed very late on the last day of our tour and the driver arranged an extra game drive before we left the Masai Mara NP and we could finally see a leopard thanks to that. He could also arrange a diner at Le Carnivore famous restaurant in Nairobi before he dropped us at the airport. There were really no flaws in the organisation and we all had a really great time in Kenya thanks to them.

Reliable, knowledgable, friendly, accommodating company - our trip lived up to and above expectation
What an amazing holiday. Everything went smoothly, Meshack and Josef were very welcoming, we did loads in Nairobi I hadn’t expected to do which was a lovely surprise - Josef was very knowledgable throughout and flexible to take us wherever we wanted to go. The travel to the Masai Mara was excellent - our driver (Kirore - spelling?) there was very accommodating and also knowledgeable. We stayed at Governors & Little Governors - such helpful, polite, friendly staff, blown away (pun intended) by the balloon safari, the sites of both are perfect, everything very clean, all needs accommodated for. I travelled to Kenya 25 years ago and I do not remember there being such large groups of animals, we saw all the ‘Big 5’ bar the rhino which is very impressive for only 3 days in the Masai Mara! The animals all look healthy too - whatever the reserve are doing it is working! A fantastic time has by all - do I recommend Meshack and his company - absolutely yes!

The best memories ever!
Having decided to celebrate my 70th by taking 4 of my children on safari in Kenya, I knew where and when I wanted to go – Little Governors, the best of the best safari camp there is, to watch the greatest herds migration in Africa in to the Masai Mara. Thankfully, I made contact with Meshack at Alligator Adventures, who proceeded to thoroughly plan and organise everything locally for our personalised and exclusive 5 day flying safari visit for the last week in July – to meeting us at Nairobi airport, transporting us to Wilson to fly out to the Masai Mara, 3 nights at Little Governors and our balloon trip, collecting us back at Wilson with his driver, Joseph, who filled in the timing gaps with the Giraffe Sanctuary/Croc farm etc and Carnivore Restaurant before our departure flight.
So thank you Alligator Adventures for being so professional, personal and flexible, despite what must have been some very difficult times over the last 2 years of the Covid pandemic, and giving myself and my children (38 down to 20!) the greatest African Adventure safari, that we will always remember - I have no hesitation in highly recommending them!

helpful
We booked a 5-day safari. Despite the fact that our luggage was delayed by the airline (we received it on the 5th and 7th day), we had a good holiday.
The first hotel was The Cliff, fantastic experience, fantastic hotel. We searched for negative points but did not find any. The food was remarkably good, in fact the best food during our entire holiday. This was definitely the best of the 3 hotels.
The next hotel was Leopard Hill Resort. Beautiful rooms, super friendly staff. The food was ok, but not fantastic, could be better.
The last hotel was Kilima (2 nights). Beautiful hotel, friendly staff, nice rooms.
Extra thanks to Alligator Adventure tours for picking up our delayed luggage and delivering it to our accommodation after the safari!

Very supportive, reliable and client oriented
We booked a 7 days private safari tour via Alligator Adventures Tours (Maasai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha and Amboseli)
During requesting a quote and booking process, Meshak was very helpful, friendly and answered all our question (we had quite a lot of them :D).
We were kindly welcomed by Meshak and his colleague at the airport early in the morning and escorted to our car. After giving us all necessary instructions, we started our great tour.
The tour was very well organized and everything went as planned.
Big thanks to our great driver Francis! He was very professional, experienced and has a decent knowledge about all national parks that we visited.
We highly recommend this operator!

Very happy with our trip - gladly recommend!
We were away for a 10 day private Safari with Alligator Adventures Tours & Safaris in August 2022. We were both super happy with everything ranging from the initial planning stage to the trip itself.
In the planning stage Meshak was very helpful from start and made sure that we together with him planned a trip that would suit us and our preferences perfectly. He always answered fast and came with very good suggestions after hearing our thoughts and preferences.
The trip itself was also fantastic. After being warmly welcomed at the airport we set off with our guide, Edvin, who we were super happy with. He was both knowledgeable and kind, and always made sure that we got the best game drives and the best views. He always were able to answer our 1000 questions and always did so with a smile. Meanwhile, he also went above and beyond to make sure we had a good time and were happy and comfortable. Thank you!
Overall, we are super happy and would gladly recommend anyone else to travel with Alligator Adventures Tours & Safaris!

Very reliable - highly recommended!
We booked an 8 day safari across Kenya and Tanzania and we had an incredible experience! Right from the planning process to the execution and support during the trip - everything was perfect!
During the planning process, Meshack was very proactive and patient with answering l our questions and giving helpful recommendations.
When we landed in Kenya, he greeted us warmly at the airport and introduced us to our guide, Francis, who was very knowledgeable and organised.
Most importantly, the airlines (Saudia) lost our luggage and Meshack went out of his way to ensure that we got it back in record time and planned the delivery to us in Masai Mara. It made us feel truly supported and taken care of!
All our game drives were meticulously planned by Francis and we had some wonderful sightings!
The hotel arrangements and everything else was brilliantly taken care of as well!
Would most definitely go with them for subsequent bookings as well!

A Perfect Safari !
As soon as I expressed my interest for a Kenyan safari package online, Meschak was in touch with me offering his expert advise and details. Although initially we wanted to do tour in Decmber 2022, with some other work we had to reschedule it to March 2023. Throughout this time period Meschak was in touch with me where he promptly answered our questions, and we negotiated over the itinerary, accomadation options and cost. This initial phase established the fact that they are very professional and always wanted to provide the best to their clients. On the day of our arrival in Nairobi, Meshack greeted us warmly and made sure we felt comfortable and our first day is perfect. We had a driver assigned at a reasonable cost for our first and only day in Nairobi and he gave us a good overview of Nairobi city and other closeby attractions which we enjoyed a lot. On day 2 we were greeted by Francis who became a part of our family for the next 7 days of the tour. He was very professional , polite, knowledgeable, respectful and patient which we loved as we had very long drives with him within parks as well as from one location to another. We highly recommend him as a driver/guide. Overall the itinerary was very well prepared with lot of thought given to make sure we were not too tired and we had enough time to experience the different landscapes and animals in lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru, Maasai Mara and Amboseli. On the last day Meschak met us again to say good bye and wanted to know our feedback so they can improve further. We surely recommend Alligator Adventures and Safaris without any doubt. We wish Meschak, Francis and the Alligator Adventures and Safaris all the best.
