Absolutely the best!
I have already written this in my Tour company review, but I will try to remember the main points. Dexter is an incredibly talented driver, with safety always foremost in his actions. We had a very poor “ Official” Tour Director and Dexter took on many of those duties, so that our trip was wonderful, Despite the official director. He is such a warm caring individual. He knows everything there is to know about the country in the parks And he is incredibly funny. Several of our fellow travelers were envious that we were assigned to the “ Dexmobile.” My favorite pictures are photos that he suggested taking - And the really good ones are the ones he took for us ! Not only did we have an incredible time, mostly due to Dexter’s help and understanding, but I felt like I left Kenya with a new friend. Just a wonderful person to spend time with. And as I said before, he could not possibly be any better at his job. He excel that everything.

Dexter was easy to be around- friendly, knowledgeable, competent, patient, and dedicated.
It was very easy to understand Dexter, even in a noisy jeep. Other guides could be difficult to understand, but his English was excellent. He was very caring and obviously cared a lot about his profession and taking care of us tourists. All the African guides I interacted with seemed very motivated to show us the best wildlife and scenery they could find, and Dexter was no exception. It was an amazing trip.

Amazing guide and an excellent tour!
Fabulous guide, amazing safari, impeccable organization…unforgettable! My husband, parents and I couldn’t have hoped for a better experience. Edward Karioki made the safari a trip of a lifetime. He was professional, polite, accommodating and had such a great passion and enthusiasm for educating us about the wildlife in Kenya. In addition, the itinerary covered a lot of sights and came with well appointment accommodations. Edward was determined that we would see as many animals as possible and ensured that we had the best vantage point, whether it was to see a pride of lions feasting on a Cape buffalo, watching a leopard stalk Thomson’s gazelles or watch a mother cheetah ushering her cubs across the Amboseli plains. I would wholeheartedly recommend Kiboko Kenya Safaris, and request to have Edward as your guide. He will truly enhance the experience!

Knowledgable, fun, safe and caring - Great Value - Highly Recommend!
Such a wonderful tour! Our tour guide, Dexter, was extremely knowledgeable about Kenya's animals, history and culture. He gladly answered our questions and we learned a great deal. Dexter was also very attentive and thoughtful to each visitor. He would anticipate our needs, making sure that everyone was always comfortable and happy.
During game drives Dexter seemed to always know where to find the animals; we got much closer to them than I expected. And we learned so much about each one! I only brought a cell phone as my camera, yet I still got close-up photos of lions, elephants, and so many more. It was a huge bonus that Dexter is also a photographer. He would often stop at perfect locations for us to take the best pictures. For example he would point out lone trees to photograph and show us how to frame it for a beautiful photo.
Another important advantage to having Dexter as your guide and tour director is that he speaks perfect English with only a slight accent. He is very easy to understand! Some group members struggled to understand other guides.
Our tour was a great value. Even though it wasn't priced high, we always stayed in wonderful hotels with fabulous food. The service was top notch, as well. Just brace yourself for three buffets a day. Whew!
The tour far exceeded my expectations! Go to Kenya; it is AMAZING! And I highly recommend Kiboko Kenya Safaris.

A fantastic and memorable experience!
We booked our safari in Amboseli through Kuoni, and Edward was our driver in Kenya, picking us up in Nairobi, driving us around Amboseli National Park and dropping us back at the train station at the end. We felt safe with Edward and learnt so much about the amazing wildlife that he showed us. He knew exactly where to go and timed everything to perfection. He answered questions about the animals and had so much knowledge. It was an absolute pleasure having him as our guide. A lovely man with a cheeky sense of humour, he made us feel at ease and took time and patience to track down all the animals we wanted to see. We would thoroughly recommend Edward as a safari guide and we hope to meet him again in the future for another fun, exciting and memorable Safari!

Everything was great!
My boyfriend and I were looking for the perfect safari and were not disappointed. We are from Austria, that‘s why we wanted to have a German-speaking guide. Titus, our guide, not only spoke German very well, he was also able to tell us a lot about the animals that live in Kenya. In general, I can say that we had a great time together and a guide who made our safari experience as perfect as possible.

Kiboko has hired the best of the best to provide adventurists with bucket list experience!
We were fortunate to have Dexter as our private guide for the duration of our 7 day Kenyan safari. My husband and I were extremely impressed with how proficient and accommodating Dex was! In addition to locating the Big 5 (many times) and a variety of other majestic animals, he taught us so much about his beloved country, Kenya, and its people! We thoroughly enjoyed our experience and would request Dex 100 times over were we to go on another African Safari! If you decide to go on Safari with them, request Dex! You won’t be disappointed!
We arrived as tourists, and left as friends!

Great service
I recently undertook 3 trips in Kenya with Kiboko Kenya Safaris and was very impressed with their service. The pickup service was always on time. The staff very professional. Most impressive was Clare's "instant" response to your mails and wishes. I have been travelling around Kenya for years and have never encountered such a service before. Keep up the good work.

Best tour experience ever! You will be impressed!
We are a group of seven girls travelling to Kenya and Tanzania, and we had the best experience with Kiboko. The agency is very responsive and Claire gives us a lot of helpful tips before the trip. Our guide is Dexter and he is absolutely amazing. He speaks English really well and knows so much about local culture and animals. He brought us to see amazing animals and was always so fast in spotting the lions, leopards and any animal actions. He is very humorous and always made us laugh. We all felt so sad when we had to say goodbye and I would definitely come back to him for another Safari trip.
