Amazing 10 day safari in Kenya !!!
I highly recommend this agency, our guide Samuel and his driver were both perfect, nice, friendly, reliable and professional. We enjoyed the safari very much.If you want to go to see the real life of the wild animals in nature ( jot sufferinng in Zoo's) then go to Kenya and with them :) you will enjoy! We were in Massai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha, Hell' s Gate, Amboselli and Tsavo parks and also Nairobi. Everything was perfect, well organized and we saw many animals :) We visited also Elephants orphan house which I reccommend you can support like this those small baby elephants by going there and also donate them. I hope one day I will come back to visit Kenya again ..if that happens I would again go with Samuel and his agency :) :)

Mesmerizing experience in the Masai Mara
I highly recommend Bush Thorns Adventures to anybody who wants to explore the wildlife and the best Safari games in the Masai Mara jungle. Our guide Samuel gave us just enough and correct information. He also did his best in order for us to see all the big 5 and other wild animals living in the Masai Mara. Him, along with Mike who was driving are the best spotters. They are also very understanding and flexible, one of our friends actually had to fly back on our last day, and they made it possible to do both, visit giraffe center, and catch the flight in Nairobi. Either, you wanna do just 2 days Safari or more than a week, don’t think twice, book with the best Guide Samuel.

Wonderful experience
Before going to the Safari I was happy about the idea of seeing animals in the wild life but I didn't Imagine that Samuel and John will make it unforgettable ! John was our driver and Samuel our Guide, they are just amazing and made our experience full of lovely memories. They are really professional and love their job, what's made it very rich of new learnings with an amazing life experince. We felt very close to these animals and to mother nature!! We laughed a lot, played and sang a lot and last but not least, ate a lot <3 I can not imagine a better experience without these two pure souls! Thank you again for everything, wish to see you soon!

Adventure of a lifetime :D
Samuel and his team took care of us from A to Z. My friend and I have booked with them a 7 day adventure all around Kenya to experience Kenya Wildlife and Nature which included toor guiding, safari car with driver, hotels, food and park tickets. Some of the places we visited is Maasia Mara, Mt. Longonot, Lake Nakuru, Nanyuki, Aberdare, and Nayvasha.
Samuel is an excellent guide as he knows the ins and outs of all these places and he is an encyclopedia when it comes to the information of animals and nature. Samuel and all the drivers are friendly and their fun companionship added to the joy of our experience. Especial thanks to Joseph whom is an astute driver as skills make a difference when it comes to navigating the complex safari terrains. Can't recommend them enough for someone whom want to have a soulful experience of the beauty Kenya has to offer.

Amazing experience!!!
All over it was an amazing experience. Sam and Joseph ( our guide and driver) were very friendly, funny, knowledgeable, helpful in every possible way. We booked a trip for 6 days and we saw and experienced so much during these days ( countless of animals, different parks, different adventures etc.). Camps we stayed at were nice and clean, food was good and plentiful, people were very friendly and helpful everywhere. There was no problem ever. Everything went smooth and we had a lot of fun. I will definitely recommend them to my friends. I will remember this trip for the rest of my life. Asante sana Sam and Joseph!!!

Experienced travel agency with good knowledge, advise and flexibility in organizing tailor-made trip
Samuel and Bush-thorns Adventures and Safaris helped us to organize a customized, difficult trip to remote northern territories of Kenya – eastern shores of Lake Turkana and land inhabited by northern tribes – Turkana, Rendille, El Molo, Gabra, Daasanach and Samburu.
It was logistic challenge that Samuel and Josef – our wonderful driver – met 100%. The trip was organized with in-depth knowledge of local habits, hidden roads and good cooperation with local guides who rather rarely welcome foreign travelers especially during Covid times.
Samuel and Josef worked professionally with local people to push our journey forward as planned. Despite the very basic conditions in this part of Kenya, we always experienced hospitality and good accommodation.
We have also continued with Bush-thorns to Kenyan touristic stars – Masai Mara and Amboseli, where especially Josef’s experience and excellent driving skills on bumpy roads made our trip so pleasant and full of memorable views of animals.
Whenever you want to travel to main parks in Kenya and expand your journey beyond traditional destinations, we would recommend Bush-thorns Adventures and Safaris as experienced travel agency with good knowledge, advise and flexibility in supporting tailor-made trips.

Very passionate and knowledgeable
We had an absolutely great experience with Bushthorn Adventures on our trip covering Masai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha and Aberdare. From the onset, communication was efficient and clear. The trip was well planned and every detail to enhance our experience considered. Thank you so much for organising the trip Gitau (Ole) and our fantastic driver Joseph Mwangi. You both showed us new parts of our beautiful country and so kindly imparted your wide knowledge.
We look forward to future trips with you and highly recommend this tour company to all considering travels in Kenya.

Above and beyond
I travelled with Bush-thorn Adventures for a five days and four nights trip covering Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru National Park, Naivasha (Hell's Gate, Lake Naivasha and Cresent Island) and Aberdare National Park led by Ole (Gitau) and Joseph as our trip aficionados. The trip was very well planned and executed and both guides went above and beyond to accommodate our needs to ensure that the trip lived up to our expectations. It came down to little things such as prioritising which animals we chased through the Mara to seeking out specific foods for lunch breaks on the road. The attention to detail and communication was very professional and friendly throughout the trip. We paid for an inclusive trip and they not only delivered but went above and beyond. I would highly recommend Bush-thorn Adventures for anyone looking for a hassle free trip and looking to make memories of a life time.
