Robert was a wonderful guide!
Robert got us up close an personal with many animals, including lions, cheetah and elephants. He was very personable and we got to know him as a person, not just a tour guide.
At the end of our journey our daughter had an issue with her Covid test and he went out of his way to ensure that we get everything squared away and were safely on our way home.
I would definitely do another safari with Robert as our guide.

BuyMore Adventures was amazing in every respect. We highly recommend them!
We recently returned from the most fantastic, amazing trip to Kenya and cannot recommend BuyMore Adventures highly enough. We would absolutely use their services again.
We are a family of 3, with a 12-year-old boy. We were in Kenya for 18 nights in October and November 2021. We visited 5 parks: Amboseli, two in Samburu, Ol’Pejeta, and Masai Mara. We spent the last several days of the trip on the beach on the Indian Ocean south of Diani.
We are used to independent travel, without a guide or tour operator. But given what we read about seeing animals in the Kenyan parks, we decided we needed a safari company. We sent out at least 25 emails to different safari operators asking about itineraries and costs for our dates. In general, we received canned and generic responses, and high price quotes. But one reply stood out -- from Nadzua, the owner of BuyMore Adventures. Nadzua gave us a completely customized itinerary and a significantly better price.
Over months of trip planning Nadzua patiently answered all our questions and made the dozens of changes to our safari that we requested. In many cases, she told us why she thought we should do things one way as opposed to another, and she was always right, as we saw during our trip. She did things like watching airfare sales for flights within Kenya, which enabled to fly between certain camps saving us many hours on the road! She ensured the availability of vegan and vegetarian food at each lodge for our family. We were very specific that we wanted a 4x4 Toyota Landcruiser with a pop-up top as opposed to a van, and she made sure we had that. She was flexible, friendly, highly responsive and organized. And infinitely patient with us. We cannot express how appreciative we are of Nadzua’s care in planning our safari.
When we landed in Nairobi, Nadzua met us, along with our driver Charles, and the 4x4 Landcruiser safari rig, which had lots of room for us. The Landcruiser was very comfortable and spacious. Charles, our driver for the safari, was simply outstanding, in every respect. He has 18 years of experience, has worked with National Geographic film crews and with conservation programs. He knew the parks inside out and backward. He spoke perfect English (plus 3 or 4 other languages), was easy to understand and knew amazing facts about every tree, bird and animal we saw. He cultivated friendships with other drivers and coordinated with them by radio to find the animals. So we saw EVERYTHING! He kept saying we were “lucky”, but I think we owe it to his deep knowledge and incredible tracking and spotting skills.
Charles was so very kind to our 12-year-old boy and kept him involved in spotting, tracking and learning about the animals. He taught us much about Kenya, his tribe, the customs, and his languages. We spent many hours and many days together and we will never forget his smile, his knowledge, his friendliness, and love of Kenya! He appreciated teaching and guiding us, but he also appreciated silence and let us take in the wonder of Africa and the animals. He arranged for us to have amazing experiences every single day. He frequently would extend our game drives so that we were able to spend extra time in the parks. We consider ourselves extremely lucky to have had Charles as a safari guide.
Charles and Nadzua stayed in contact throughout our trip and were always doing little things to make our trip better. For example, arranging to have box lunches when our plane landed so we could go directly into the park instead of to the lodge first. And, one night Nadzua arranged to upgrade us to a very high end lodge in a beautiful private conservancy where there were fewer people. There were many examples like that throughout our trip.
BuyMore Adventures was absolutely excellent, simply top-notch. Nadzua and Charles gave us the very best combination of personal service, a custom itinerary, all at a very fair price. At the end of the trip, when we flew home, we all felt as if BuyMore had given us the trip of a lifetime. You can reach Nadzua with this email: [email protected] and you can reach Charles via Whatsapp - +254 722 781182.

company you can trust
There is much to write about my wonderful journey: which was organised by Nadzua. But in short - it is well organised. You get for your money a complete package as written in the program. And even more. Incredible experience for a lifetime. This is my fourth time in Kenya and it was the best trip ever.

Everything perfect
We booked 3 days 2 nights with BuyMore Avdentures for Masai Mara.
The 4x4 was very clean and confortable, water available for the trip.
Charles, our driver was professional, he has many experience in safari, knows how to spot animals, give you explanations about masai mara, local culture etc...
I highly recommand BuyMore Adventures for the organization and Charles as a driver!
Thx for this experience, we appreciated a lot.

Very Helpful and Knowledgeful
I have just come back from a Safari to Kenya (2 Days in Amboseli and 4 Days in Masai Mara). Buymore provide an excellent and reliable service, from the first contact with Nadzua always ensuring our needs were met and tailoring our trip to suit us as well as our guide Charles, ensuring we got to witness amazing wildlife viewings. Whenever we encountered minor issues, they were ready to assist! We finished our trip with an amazing meal with both Charles and Nadzua joining us, this was a really nice end to a dream getaway. Highly recommend and will be booking with them again in the future.

Friendly, reliable and responsive.
The tour organiser was extremely responsive and accomodating, as she made her best to answer our numerous questions and offer a tour that would be the most suitable for our needs (travelling alone with my 5-year old child).
The driver-guide was friendly and reliable, although not very talkative (which I personally prefer to a guide who is too chatty). His English was good and he was rather knowledgeable about wildlife, regularly checking information in books to offer us the most accurate knowledge.
The accomodation was on the overall good value for money and the minibus was quite comfortable, it just didn't have a very sophisticated air conditioning system, which meant we had to keep windows open (and thus let the sand in etc..) if we didn't want to suffocate from the heat.
The tour was quite a budget for us, but it was worth the financial effort because the opportunity to see so many wild animals is such a unique treasure which we will probably still remember in many years to come.

Absolutely first class expertise and service
We have just returned home from our first safari which we booked with Nadzua and Buymore. Our experience was first class from beginning to end and we cannot speak too highly about Nadzua and our driver, Charles.
We arranged this trip at short notice (just a few weeks) and Nadzua was totally professional throughout – she responded very quickly to all our questions and helped us select what turned out to be an amazing itinerary to Amboseli and Masai Mara at a competitive price. The original plan had to be modified slightly just before departure when the airstrip we were to land at in the Mara was put out of service because of water damage but Nadzua provided some options which were as good as or better than the original. The accommodations were excellent and we thought Nadzua went above and beyond providing us with airport pickup when we arrived and also taking us back to the airport after a few days in Nairobi.
We cannot imagine that there is a better driver/guide than Charles – he is very personable and we were in awe of his deep knowledge and understanding of the parks, wildlife and Kenya. Nothing was too much trouble for him and we are indebted to him as he helped make this trip so unforgettable for us.
We are not normally this effusive, but Nadzua and Charles deserve every accolade, and we will definitely book with them again as we try to plan for another trip.
