Great Safari!
5/5

My wife and I booked a private safari through Ancient Wild Safaris. Michael was very helpful during the planning phase and communicated everything clearly. Upon arrival in Kenya, the driver and Michael were prompt and ready to go at our hotel. We reserved the 3 night and 4 day safari to Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru. The Masai Mara was everything I hoped it would be. We saw all of the Big 5 and more. The accommodations in the Masai Mara are budget, so be prepared for that. In Nakuru, we upgraded and stayed in a resort - much needed after 3 days on the "bumpy road" in the Mara.

All around, it was an incredible experience. Michael and our driver Mouindi were very hospitable, the vehicle held-up though the rough terrain, and the experience was true Africa. Ancient Wild Safaris is an excellent budget safari and I hope to go again soon!

Unforgettable experience. Recommend
5/5

We chose the tour operator for a long time and decided to choose Ancient Wild Safaris, to be honest, because we liked the price and program.
The program included a meeting at the airport, 5 days safari and a transfer back to the airport.
It was a group tour. That is very nice, everything went well.
We visited Lake Manyara, Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro.
Accommodation was in Campsites. Very interesting experience, unity with nature.
Recommended for tourists to take warm clothes on safari, they will be useful to you at nignt in Ngorongoro.
The food was excellent, very tasty and hearty.
We saw a lot of animals. In general, the program is executed on 100%.
We are very happy!
Good quality for this price. Unforgettable experience. Recommend!

very well adapted one day trip around nairobi
5/5

Ancient Wild Safaris did a great job to propose a last minute one day trip around Nairobi on the way to great rift valley. They did adapt to my request to modify or extend some of the visits and they event brought my back directly to the airport.

If you have one day available in Nairobi before you flight back home on the evening this is the way to go ( for a reasonable price)!

Lake Bogorio to Lake Naivasha
4/5

It was my first Safari with AWS, the second with Joseph. All and everything was exactly as planed, dreamed of. (well, the Flamingos went to Tanzania while we were at Lake Bagorio ..:-)) Joseph is the most relyable Driver with knowledge of animals, culture, history. This because I always will contact AWS as soon as I will plan my next trip to Kenya or any neighbourhood. Thank you guyes, you did a very good Job at creating your own tour Office!!! I will recommand you to everybody with very best consience - friendlyness, Fairness, respect - there never was a tiny doubt. Thank you for making trust you all the way. Thank you so much for being there, Joseph.

Thank you for such an incredible trip!!!
5/5

This trip exceeded my husband's and my expectations! We did an 11 day trip exploring the beauty of Kenya and Tanzania. All the drivers, especially Joseph, were extremely welcoming. They were always willing to share their knowledge and did their best to find all the animals for you. We were able to see "The Big 5" within our first two days! Before the trip, Michael answered any questions we had, and he even met up with us a few times during our trip to see how we were doing. He also arranged seemless transitions as we switched from Kenya to Tanzania. We absolutely loved this trip and would book through Ancient Wild Safaris again!

Thank for an amazing adventure
5/5

Eight of us boarded a bus at Nairobi airport unsuspecting of the amazing trip that lay before us. We must thank Joseph and Michael for organizing such an amazing experience. I wanted to get photos that will make my friends jealous, what I got we the experience of a lifetime. From the migrating wilder beast, to the hot air balloon ride, this trip was truly one of the best adventures I have been on. My highlight was stopping at the school as we left the Masai Mara and being able to give much needed school supplies to the children.

Thank you for making our trip to Kenya so amazing!

Hell's Gate trip
4/5

Trip was almost perfect. Mike (manager, I suppose) respond quickly at all time (pre-booking, appointment, etc.) and follow any my demands. Paul (driver) made his best during trip - comfort and safe driving, detailed explanation through whole journey. But I have one disappointed thing - in itinerary written what boat ride is inclusive - that is incorrect, they charge USD50 for this option.

5 Stars All Around !!
5/5

Ancient Wild was a great tour operator. Michael answered every last one of my questions leading up to trip via FB and was very patient explaining all the details. I normally am very OCD with my vacation planning, but Michael handled everything wonderfully! We spent 12 days touring Kenya and Tanzania and every suggestion and budget lodging was on point. Loved the culture, the experience, and beautiful beautiful Africa! Highly recommend you book with these guys! Very affordable and very customizable !
