Nairobi National Park Tour
We did the Nairobi National Park tour on short notice. The communication was really good and the tour itself pleasant and successful. I can recommend it.
Very smooth and reliable
Great experience I can recommend to you - alone or in a group setting

The experience was one of a kind.
The safari was one of a kind experience. I learnt a lot from our guide. Sammy was a profesional with big knowledge about annimals. The safari had one flaw: meals were the same throug the whole trip. Although I do highly recommend 6days SafariLine Defender.

Great Safari, wonderful group
The safari was an amazing experience that is not easily described in words. The experience was much more enjoyable thanks to our great driver and guide Bonface, who went out of his way to assure that we had the best time. We saw all the animals, we had early morning drives, in my opinion these were the best, at this time the animals are more active. The sunrises are also amazing.
I feel obligated to let you know on a few things. Most of the merchants and Masai people will try to sell certain souvenirs to you and your mates. Be aware that they tend to rise the prices even 10 times higher than the actual price. Everything that doesn't have a written price is negotiable! You negotiate as hard as you can, check trip advisor, Google or even your driver, if you don't have a general idea of what the prices should be.
Other than that, the experience will be a great one, you will get to meet with a lot of wonderful people and make friends from around the world.
I would also like to add that the boat trips at Lake Naivasha are also quite expensive for what they offer. You and your mates from your group should band together and negotiate hard with the person at the boat ride desk. You have to present a united front, otherwise they will not lower the price. We managed to lower it to aprox 15$ per person from 20 which was the original price. Some other groups said that they were asked 25 or even 30.
Last, but not least, we were victims of the KWS scam, so we booked this safari last minute. Thanks to Rose, that was very understanding, we paid only upfront (before the safari started), but didn't send any money before hand, This was only because I was very reluctant to trust another company. Everything turned out just fine, the safari happened and we could enjoy beautiful Kenya.
The drives between the parks are quite long and tiring, taking up to most of the day - for instance between Maasai Mara and Nakuru or from Naivasha to Amboseli. The country is big and the traffic is just.. crazy.

Absolutely worth the trip.
The trip I took went very well. From pickup to dropoff everything went smoothly. Food and sleeping conditions good, nothing amazing, but worth what you're paying. And honestly that's not the reason why you take this trip. Over the 6 days I saw every animal I wanted to see, and all up close. My driver Maxwell was a great guy, made the trip more interesting. If you're looking for an affordable trip, I would recommend safari line defenders.

Well organised safari to masai maara!
Did a 3 day package to masai maara through safariline defenders. Rose answered all my questions about the country, safari, weather, food etc without any concerns. I stayed in jamabo mara safari lodge and it was very good. Food was average but manageable. They have wooden and glass cottages and facilities are premium when compared to other camps nearby. It had 24 hrs wifi in reception and electricity. They have pool and snooker tables. Our driver castro was amazing and hilarious. took lot of effort to co-ordinate with other drivers to locate animals in the forest and put in lot of effort to make all of us comfortable.

I was pleasantly surprised how incredibly well coordinated the whole experience was.
Safari was incredible saw many animals, all of the big 5 on the first day. Communication with the organisers was good in places where there was wifi and all shuttles exceptionally well coordinated. Accommodation was simple and clean, the only thing that I would criticise is the lack of hot water, luke warm was best in most places.

Great value for money!
The communications and service were great. Though we departed Nairobi later than expected, the actual trip and accommodation were excellent. Best of all the game drives beat all our expectations. Would not hesitate to recommend Safari Line Defender.

Amazing, Peefect... one of the best safaris I have ever had
We were picked in town.. The bus was comfortable, the driver was excellent, the music was relaxing. We had stopovers for some snacks...we learnt alot from the driver and the guide. We arrived on time for lunch, the meals were perfect. We went on safari, the wild is beautiful.. Our tents were all eco friendly.. Ooh and you could hear the animals at night. It is such an awesome experience. These guys delivered!!
