Excellent Safari experience
We had a wonderful time in Kenya with Oakland Tours and Safaris . They arranged everything so well from stay to transport and food.
We really enjoyed Safaris also.
Our guide Mr Francis was extraordinary!
From the moment we landed, their seamless organization and attention to detail ensured an stress-free journey.
Francis’s knowledge, expertly navigating the landscapes and wildlife of Kenya made each game drive an exciting experience.
Thank you Oakland and Francis for making our vacation memorable 🥰

Excellent Kenyan Safari - Highly Recommend!
My mom, myself, and my 18 year old daughter travelled to Kenya for a safari and we are so glad we booked with Oakland Safaris! From the first communication with Felistus in Nairobi, we were kept fully informed and felt very comfortable that we were in good hands. She designed a perfect safari for our mid-range budget with excellent lodges and all the logistics were taken care of so we just got to enjoy the beautiful country and wildlife. Norah and Felistus were so communicative about payment and itinerary and once we arrived we were met at the airport and given into the care of our guide Willy. He was fantastic!! He took us safely through three parks and dealt with all the entry fees, lodge staff, etc with us but most importantly he was so friendly and knowledgeable about Kenya and the wildlife we saw and he was GREAT at finding it - including a cheetah, oryxes, and lions! We loved our time and highly recommend this tour operator to anyone who wants a safe, affordable and extremely fun safari in beautiful Kenya.
Reliable organisation
From the beginning, Felistus was a very dedicated and patient organizer, she answered every question I had very soon and was very helpful. The trekking to Point Lenana was beautiful, and with funny guide Elijah, quiet cook David and nice companion Joy we had a very good time. The bandas were very simple but clean and nice, and less cold than a tent. Transport to and from the gates was also good.

amazing lifetime experience
The journey was started from Nairobi airport when we received the warm welcome from tour leader and driver ( Mr Edward )
Our stay was 2 nights
Both accommodations were perfect
One night stay in giraffes mayor was another amazing life time experience
Everything was managed professionally in advance by them
I did not have time to check and organize the trip by myself and I am really happy to did it through this travel agency
Eddi , our driver and tour leader was on time , gentleman and he loved his job so much that’s why he made this trip unforgettable for us

Professional, fun and exciting experience for the first time
From the first minute, our tour guide was super friendly and professional. He took us from our hotel in Diani, while driving to the park Tsavo East, he explained a lot things about culture, life style of locals, abut local plants. He was also fun to talk about difference of countries.
He took care of us the whole safari time, suggesting how and what is better to do around. During our time in the park, he was also very talkative and we talked a lot about animals, we learned a lot about wild life. As we saw some tour guides while little stops during the safari, our tour guid Daniel seemed more fun and relaxed than other, which gave us an opportunity to feel safe and have lots of fun. Cheers to Daniel.
Even though we had some problems in the beginning, which was not about Oakland tour, but the agency was helpful and understanding. They are super reliable and we already planing our next trip with this agency. Definitely would recommend Oakland tour for anyone who want best time during safari.

Very professional outfit
I chose Oakland from the other operators due to their professional approach towards the process of booking a safari, without too much hard sell. Communication was excellent before and during the trip, in terms of choosing the lodges/hotels and the pricing, and the driver who picked us up and was with us for whole 3 night/4 day experience was friendly and very knowledgable on all matters cultural and wildlife. I would highly recommend using Oakland

Exceptional and individualized service who were consistently there to support us in our planning
When selecting a tour operator for climbing Mount Kenya, I appreciated Oakland's clear and timely communication. I planned the trip to Kenya without an agent, so I worked with many different companies to plan our stay. I can confidently say that Oakland had the best communication, answering many of my questions in the months leading to the tour.
For the trek in Mount Kenya itself, the guide, cook, porter, and driver all were highly experienced, detail oriented, and adaptive to our needs. We had a lot of fun on our trek with them and always felt safe. And the food was delicious. Consider booking your travel with Oakland, they are a trustworthy company.
