A wonderful heartwarming experience that can not be put into words.
We had a wonderful time in Kenya and our drivers were with us the whole time. They took great care of us and we couldn't have done it without them!!! They did a great job getting us to places we never would have found. They were polite and kind and answered all of our questions. The safari itself was awesome! I would highly recommend this group to anyone traveling to Kenya.

Great experience in Kenya
Pre-trip planning and communications with Great Horizon Trails was fast, easy and clear. They were kind enough to offer us rates to accommodate our student budget. Had a knowledgeable driver and safe/comfortable vehicle. We went on two trips with them (hell's gate & nairobi national park) and had a great time!

Our last 3 trips with Great Horizon Trails were wonderful!
I have led groups on 2 week trips to Kenya, using Great Horizon Trails. Each one was wonderful, and beyond expectations. We saw an amazing number of animals on each safari. The preparation for the trips were assisted by the professional director and his staff, who were most helpful. The driver guides were knowledgeable and friendly. As our trips include mission work as well as safari, it was gratifying to have adaptability and flexibility built in to our schedule. Most of all, we felt safe and happy throughout, and there was always lots of laughter. We are looking forward to our trip to Kenya this summer, thanks to Great Horizon Trails!

Excellent organisation and value for money.
I have used Great Horizon Trails in both 2013 and 2014 to take groups to work with a school in Matayos, Western Kenya. I wanted a reliable organisation and Great Horizon were recommended to me by the Deputy at Imprezza Academy. On both occasions the Safari parts of the tours proved to be excellent in terms of finding game and interesting situations. We had visits to Hells Gate, Nakuru and in 2014 Masaii Mara. Clearly the latter was most impressive with the Gnu crossing the crocodile river, a lion pride hunting and excellent elephant encounters.
We were looking for excellent value for money and Great Horizon on both trips provided cooked meals at each of the safari locations. Breakfasts, lunches and evening meals were amazing when you considered the facilities available to the cook.
If you are looking for luxury then Great Horizon is probably not for you BUT if you want a well organised, trouble free and exciting holiday including safaris then Great Horizon would be hard to beat.

Fantastic trip to Masai Mara!!
We could not have wished for a better trip to the Masai Mara with Great Horizon Trails! From the moment we entered the park there was an abundance of wildlife and our expert driver and naturist was so knowledgeable and gave us a lot of interesting information. He had a very keen and eye and seemed to be able to see creatures from miles away. We saw all of the Big 5 and many other animals too. Our camp was great and the food was amazing. We certainly didn't go hungry! Overall an absolutely fantastic Safari trip creating some amazing memories. Thank You!

Utstanding good service and quality from booking to trip with skillfull tourguides in good vehicle
Great Horizon Trail (GHT) is offer a wide range of services when comming to safaris and roundtrips. I have had the pleasure and privilege to do a lot of safaris for a long number of years all over Kenya and Tanzania to see and experience most of the gamereserve. Previouse gamedrive just a few months ago, Dec 2014.
Never have GHT fail in giving me what I had expected, most of the time it is even beyond the higest expetations of mine.
If in any case some problem has occured it is always taken care of and fixed to full satisfaction.
It is to have in mind that safaris in the wilderness is something that can never be predicted what to find or what to face, but with the welleducated and serviceminded guides that are provided by GHT You are always sure of if there is something to be find You will certainly find it.
Above this the GHT are also able to do booking for hotel all over East Africa, and all is up to Your own subject of what You want to have, from budget to firstclass standard.
The only thing You can never get on a budgetstandard is the experience of the safaris, even living in budget lodges, the safari trip in it self is always the fistclass standard, all in the utmost care of the skill guide in well maintaind vehicle. For me I am already looking foward for my next safari with Great Horizon Trail.

Amazing, they know the local culture and are flexible in finding better rates
They are fast in emails and phone response, they work hard to make you comfortable. We have sent tens of guests for our non-profit through them to various parts of Kenya, the compliments are many.
I am a Kenyan living in the States, and I did the same work they did before for over 6 years, they know their craft.
