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.

Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and engaging.
I really enjoyed this tour. The operator was very communicative during the entire booking process up until the tour. She even met us at the hotel to collect payment which was very reasonable for level of service and vehicle provided for the tour and personally introduced us to our tour guide . The tour guide knew the lay of the land and where to find the animals. He gave detailed explanation on the animals. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience touring the manor sites in Nairobi.

Efficient and Reliable
We used them to arrange for our clients 5 days Masai Mara safari and the communication was so good and Reliable. The safari was well planned as to the clients interests and am happy to say that according to our clients report the safari was a success with a knowledgeable guide who made their safari a memorable experience.

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.
