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.

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.

We spent a dream vacation with BuyMore Adventures
The whole trip was amazing and well planned! We did the 6-Day Kenya Big Five safari. Nadzua replied to our questions really fast and everything went well from the beginning - we were a bit worried because our flight arrived in the middle of the night but it wasn't a problem - our driver Calvin came and picked us up and took us to the city to have breakfast. We didn't expect places to be open so early but he knew where to go. It was very nice for us because we came to Kenya to only do the safari tour. We had to switch drivers on our way back to the airport on our last day as our driver had to go and do another tour but it was all so well planned and our second driver was also super nice and shared a lot about life in Kenya with us.
Calvin knew all the best places for spotting animals (he also has such good eyes and can spot animals really far) and made sure we saw as many different of them as possible. And ofcourse we took our time observing the animals. Calvin took us really close to the animals and turned off the engine so we wouldn't bother them. For us it was just unbelievable to see all these animals in the wild and so so close to us.
It was amazing that on our last day when we went to the last game drive Calvin spotted lions from far-far away, we were not even in the national park yet. So we got to enjoy the sunrise with lions and Kilimanjaro in the background - something like that will probably only happen once in a lifetime for us.
The car was very clean as Calvin cleaned it every day. The roads were crazy and we were lucky that he's such a good driver!
Calvin helped us with all the questions and made stops as we requested and he always had clean drinking water for us as much as we needed.
Accommodations were really good and we didn't have any problems.
We enjoyed every second of the trip.

Incredibly knowledgeable about the parks and animals
We had the most wonderful Safari with BuyMore.

Nadzua was wonderful at organizing everything including our travel from Nairobi to Amboselj and then flights to the Masai Mara and from there back to Nairobi and on to Zanzibar. Everything was flawless. The team was also great at pivoting when half our party got delayed 24 hours due to plane trouble from the United States.
What really made the trip special was our guide Charles. You can clearly tell he has 20 years of experience as a safari guide. I have been on multiple safaris in the past and there is a clear difference between guides who have been doing this a while and guides who are new. Charles knows exactly where to go and the number of times we were able to see animals with no other cars around for incredibly special experiences was bar none. This alone is why you should book with this company. Any future safaris that we do in this region will be with Charles. What a great adventure and we can't say enough great things.

Efficient service and lovely safari tour
Our overall experience with Buy more adventure's safari has been amazing! Nadzua is very responsive and accommodating to my inquiries. We visited Amboseli, Lake Naivasha and Maasai Mara. Charles was our tour guide and driver, and we can tell he's experienced. He knew the best area to spot wildlife. We only have 1 full day game drive in Maasai Mara yet we were able to see a pride of lions feasting over a kill, Cheetah, Hyena, Cape Buffalo, Hippos, Crocodile in Mara River and the awesome view of the Wildebeest migration. It was such an unforgettable and spectacular experience!! We also saw a lot of herbivores and other animals. The safari is def worth it.
At the end of the tour, Charles dropped us off our preferred hotel in Nairobi. He is such a warm and friendly guide. He also convinced us to visit the Maasai tribe and I'd say it is worth it, as we got to see their way of life even just a bit. It makes our Kenya experience more memorable.
They also book wonderful camp/lodges/hotel for us.
I highly recommend booking a safari in Buy more adventures!
