Our tour operator went the extra mile and cared greatly about giving us the best experience possible
I would highly recommend Defenders Safari. Our guide Caleb was kind, informative, and genuinely passionate about providing the best experience for the people and animals. He was an excellent driver and very punctual. I felt that we got a great value for our money. I will definitely recommend this company and our guide to our friends and family. We plan on using this tour operator when we return to Africa. They were quick to communicate with us and easily made adjustments when needed. 10/10!

Massi Mara to Nakuru to Amboseli
The tour was well organised with the transport vehicle and drivers being excellent. We did the ballon ride in Ambesolie which is a must. Champagne breakfast to go with it in the bush was a real treat.
Remember if you are travelling around, these distances can result in long hours being spent in the land cruiser.
If you can afford an upgrade in accommodation go for it, as the food in the budget camps can be disappointing. Otherwise this is great value for money.

Excellent! Simply the best!
I just had to write this today, in this moment, while we are still having fun with safariline team. Today, 3rd Feb 2024, they brought us for a safari at Kitengela glass+leleshwa tour & it is the best experience I have had in a long time. I really love their service & the way they organized the entire trip, especially it being a group trip. I highly recommend them & see you next summer. Thank you Rose & your entire safariline team.

Excellent family-friendly safari with plenty of variety and all the Big 5 (and the ugly 5!) spotted!
Having done plenty of research, based on the reviews, variety offered and value, we chose Safari Line Defender for our family 7-day safari of Masai Mara, lake Nakuru, lake Naivasha and Amboseli.
Rose was outstanding in organising and communicating throughout. She adjusted our itinerary to suit our children (age 10 and 8) including family rooms throughout and 2 free upgrades to hotels with pools for them to enjoy. She arranged our transfers to and from the airport at an excellent price as well.
Clinton our Safari guide was friendly, organised, professional and a brilliant driver. We always felt safe, and he got us closer to the animals than any of the other tour cars!
We saw all the big 5 (including the rare leopard) and enjoyed a boat trip, a walking and cycling Safari as part of our tour for a pre-agreed extra cost. We were well-fed throughout, and made friends with the other tourists sharing the van on our tour.
The only down-side were a couple of long drives between national parks (so bring plenty of car activities if you have kids). Our kids were fine with this, and it was definitely worth it to see the best bits of Kenya.
We would highly recommend this safari to any other families!

flawless
The safari tour is not cheap, so I applied after much consideration. I contacted more than 20 companies, and excluded tour companies that reply slowly or have poor safari plans. Then there were about three tour companies left, and finally I chose Safari line defender. There were three reasons to choose. 1. It's cost-effective. 2. The connection with Rose is good. 3. Overall, the reviews are good. In fact, I was worried because the location was not properly registered on Google Maps, and Rose felt rather little bit blunt than friendly. As a result, it was the right choice. There was nothing lacking in the tour, but I could enjoy safari more than I expected. I recommend this tour company. I would also like to thank Rose for her meticulous work.

Excellent service; complete value for the price charged
Rose and David were exceptionally good ; we have no complaints. The tour is excellent for budget travelers; hotels are good for the price offered. David is excellent at spotting animals and tells a lot of details about each of them. Recommend them for everyone who wishes to explore masai mara without a huge dent in their wallets.

2 days Masai Mara - road trip & safari experience
Initially while booking this trip i had requested for some changes in the itinerary as some of our friends were flying back early & it was planned accordingly with a reasonable price USD 200 per person (group of 5). Rose came to pick us up at the airport shows her dedication towards clients. Next day early morning we were off to Masai Mara in a VAN which was a bit old & you can hear the loud sound of shaky windows specially when the journey reaches the bumpy part, however it wasn't too bad if your not traveling with kids because you get to see nice views and animals even before reaching national reserve (6 hours journey). By mid day afternoon we reached our camp miti mingi eco camp, we were warmly welcomed by camp staff & get to choose the tents as we wanted. Lunch at the camp was a bit disappointing, no choices specially for those that doesn't eat red meat although the chef PAPA made it up for Dinner & next day breakfast. Its advisable to request the food preferences in advance. The best & most amazing part was the national reserve game drive, our driver James was the best loads of experience & all the requests were fulfilled as we saw almost everything with close encounters. We were very lucky that day :)
Overall good experience, dedication to improve the experience. It can be better the with few fixes.
I will definitely refer safari line defender to my friends.
