Professional...Serious.. Listening.. .Reassuring..Always positive..
Of the 10 tour operators consulted, Oakland Tours was able to convince me that with them I could organize the safari of my dreams and that of my family. It took me 2 months of discussion with the organizers to develop this project.
I wanted to be close to nature in the Masai Mara. What Oakland offered us was just perfect, at the MAJI MOTO ECOCAMP. Welcome with great attention, visit of the camp, on the course of the showers, WC sinks scattered in nature, simple but very functional. The tents fitted out and the bedding very clean. . Finally nature, 4 km walk to visit a Masai family, in the evening Masai dances in front of a wood fire. (Forget the smartphones!!!) Exceptional safari in the "big five" park with our driver guide Boni Boni , big thank you. very nice person . . Amboseli, different safari, but just as good with the view of Kilimanjaro. The animals here are more grouped together, Elephants, zebras, wildebeest, buffaloes, hippos, warthogs, ostriches etc.... The lodge style tents are a little more equipped .The West Tsavo, Here magnificent landscapes. Giraffes, Elephants, rhinos, dic dic, antelopes etc ..... and here a lodge with a view of the water reservoirs where the animals come to quench their thirst .. This safari has been programmed in collaboration with Oakland, which listened to my wishes. Nothing is impossible for Oakland. And always there. Cheer.

Excellent care taken of us, courteous, , and extremely good value for money .
From when we were picked up to when we we dropped off after our 5 day Safari , where we saw the Big 5 and so so much more , we were treated like royalty . The hotels Oakland chose for us were superb , our driver and guide Boniface became a good friend and went over and beyond to make sure we didn’t miss anything . Cannot fault them in any way whatsoever. And would highly recommend Oakland Tours to anyone looking for a Safari holiday.

Professional and Affordable
I went up Mount Kenya with Oakland and they were very helpful throughout the process from beginning to end. The guide (Charles) was also very good in his attention to detail and provide a lot of background information and practical advice while on the trek. He set a perfect pace and allowed us to really enjoy our entire hike throughout. The entire trip as a resident of Kenya was very affordable and I would recommend

Very organised, trustworthy and great communication, would recommend and use again
Booking a tour company from the UK was challenging but Oakland Tours and Safari made it so easy. The communication was excellent and whilst I booked nine months in advance they kept in touch from time to tint to give me peace of mind and were flexible with changes made. Travelling as a family they made us feel safe, were very accommodating and nothing was any trouble. The drivers were very courteous and always happy to help and go the extra mile to make all the members of my family happy, which was no easy task with teenage daughters and excited adults. It was very thoughtful of our driver Moses to go back to a location in the hope of finding the lion just to make my husband happy even when we had not asked. We hope to use them for another tour in the future as the go to your company. Cannot recommend them enough. They made our safari holiday special.

Involvement
We chose Oakland among 10 other local agencies we received offers from when organizing out safari trip to Kenya. Why we chose them? First of all, they seemed most opened towards communication and answering to all of our requests. We got all we wanted and the staff was very friendly and open. The driver that was provided to us was experienced and very funny. We had a great time with him and he tried to offer us the best game drive (considering the 2 days we had at disposal). The accomodation that the agency suggested to have was top, from room facilities to superb food and friendly staff. We highly recommend Oakland Safari tours for their openess and professionalism.

Very nice experience, very nice driver, all was perfect
We loved the driver because he was very friendly and kind. He stopped all the time during the game drives while we wanted to spot the animals. He did not have a bad behaviour at all. I would recommend him to anyone.
