Fantastic! very fun and comfortable trip!
This five day trip is very amazing. Good service: When we came here this company arranged three staff who greeted us and helped us to the apartment safely. The last day they prepared the gifts for us! It’s a surprise and good ending for the trip.
Good tour guide:We had this amazing trip the most important reason is we have a great tourist guide! Elisha is an excellent and experienced tour guide. He knows a lot of things of Kenya especially the route in the nations parks and he took the initiative to introduce local culture. He can quickly lead us to find the animal and find a best location for us to take a good picture. Thank you for his careful, enthusiastic, positive and warm character during the tour!
Some advice: Can prepare some tissue in the car. In addition, for customers in need, it is best to arrange a hotel with a hair dryer^_^
Many Thanks！

Good communication and service
I reserved a safari for august for me and 5 co-travellers with Reny Safaris. During the whole booking process they were very kind in responding to additional request swiftly and creatively. Unfortunately we had to cancel the tour for a number of reasons. Since it was still within the cancellation policy period they reorganised everyting as quickly as they could, cancelling the lodgings and reimbursing the money to me. A professional approach with empathy and a good sense of humour. I'm sorry I never got to go on safari with you, but hopefully in the future!

Delivered on everything they promised and even more!
Once in Nairobi, Japheth and Edwin arrived right on time to collect us and bring us to Masai Mara national park. They were exactly on time and we had no issues whatsoever. The drive to Masai Mara was very pleasant, the car was in excellent condition, very clean, comfortable, and we had great conversation with Edwin. He was happy to stop at any point we wanted to see views, take photos etc.
Once we arrived, again Edwin was completely flexible depending on if we wanted to go on a drive that evening or relax at the lodges etc. We opted to go for a drive that evening, full drive the next day and a half-day drive the following day. Edwin was more than happy to take us as we requested.
On the drives, the car was extremely comfortable and Edwin was a great driver. We always felt safe in the car and we were happy that Edwin was a very ethical driver, avoiding driving too close to animals as some other drivers seem to do. Apart from being able to answer every question we had, Edwin was also knowledgeable on how the animals behave and there were times where all drivers went one way but Edwin when another so that we could get an even better view - and it always worked! On the other hand, he was always quick to move to anywhere in the park that had a high-interest animal such as cheetahs, lions, even the black rhino!!
Our return was equally as comfortable. In Nairobi Japheth came out to visit us with a little token of appreciation which we greatly appreciate. These small touches made a lot and made our experience of Kenya and the Kenyan people even more amazing than it already had been. I would recommend Reny Safaris to anyone thinking of going on one.

Outstanding service and amazing experience
With Reny Safaris, communication was always clear and quick. They were super flexible to accommodate our dates and arrival schedules, as well as departure. When we arrived in Nairobi, we were welcomed in the hotel by our driver, Elisha and the tour manager, Japheth. From here Elisha took us on his van and showed us the best of what the national parks of Kenya have to offer. Always being very respectful, flexible and providing us interesting insights into the daily life of Kenyans and the nature that surrounded us. The hotels picked for our tours had incredible views, that have stayed in our memories. We remain grateful to the team of Reny Safaris and specially to our great guide and driver, Elisha and Japheth for the organization.

Superb! Wonderful safari experience, well organised couldn't of asked for much more.
We booked a 5 day safari with Reny Safaris visiting Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakura and the Masai Mara. Japeth was a pleasure to deal with, working with our schedule to minimise any extra hotel days. We were picked up from the airport and travelled straight to the first lodge and took an afternoon boat ride on lake Naivasha seeing loads of hippos and fish eagles. Elisha our driver was very friendly and knowledgable he was happy to leave early enough on the next day to have extra time on the afternoon game drive in Lake Nakura National Park, where we got to see Rhinos although at a bit of a distance, there was also loads of zebras, girafes, buffalo, monkeys. It was a really good afternoon drive. The next morning we then travelled to the Masai Mara, we even saw elephants on the road before we even reached the lodge. We then took another afternoon game drive. I don't this we could have asked for much more. Looking at a cheetah nearly go and run for prey and seeing a lion sleeping under a tree were a highlight for me. There was many other animal and I don't think I'll forgot the bull elephant spoilt most of my pictures as he was a bit excited and I think he was looking for a mate.
I would highly recommend Reny Safaris and I would definately use them again. Elisha was the best driver. The lodges were great, we always had water available. The organisation was spot on and the price was great value. We truely enjoyed the trip.

Amazing trip with Reny safaris!
Our trip was fantastic with Reny safaris, Japheth orgainsied everything extremly well for us, met us at the airport where we went strainght down to Amboseli, we had 2 days at amboseli where we saw everything there was to see from the moment we left the lodge for our afternoon drive. Baboons, huge herds of elephants, a cheetah, prides of lions, giraffes, hippos, flamingos, buffalo, zebra, wilderbeast as well as much more. Martin our driver was a really nice guy, very knowledgable about the park and all the animals, he went out of his way to make sure we saw everything available.
Tsavo east was our next stop where we stopped at a spring along the way and saw crocodiles and hippos up close in the river before getting to Ngulia lodge where we had lunch with a herd of elephants using the watering hole next to the lodge and had a visit from 3 leopards just before dinner, which was amazing.
We tried to find rhino's at the local sanctuary but they were all out for the day unfortunately. :-(
We went to Tsavo west the next day but on route we stopped at a buffalo kill that we had seen the day before where a male lion came along and resued his kill from vultures and african wild dogs. Along the way we saw multiple herds of elephants and groups of giraffes. On our evening drive, Martin found out about another kill where we saw a pride of lions feeding on it, one of the lionesses also had a cub, it was amazing! on our way back we saw another herd of elephants bathing in a big watering hole as well as more giraffes and other animals along the way. back at the Voi lodge there were elephants, buffalo and hyenas using the wateringhole near the lodge.
We then headed to Diani beach for a few days at the pool/beach which was an nice and relaxing few days after all the excitement of the safaris.
Japheth was in contact with us regularly along the way to make sure we had everything we needed.
Our group was 2 adults and 2 kids (11 +13) everyone had an amazing time, the kids loved every minute of the trip as did the adults.
We did 4 days safari, 5 days beach, I would thoroughly recommend reny safaris, Japheth and Martin did everything they could for us at a very reasonable price.

Tour Operator was Mr Japhet and tour Guide was Mr Martin
I would love to thank Mr Japhet for his nonstop support and communication with me. As I had many questions and queries but Mr Japhet was always there to answer them. He assisted me in getting the best accommodations and best package with the places I wanted to go. He ensured that I do have a memorable tour with him and his tour guide. My tour agent Mr Japhet and Mr Martin my tour guide did wait for me and husband until we come out of the airport. My Tour agent Mr Japhet also visited us after our tour so bid us farewell. So kind of him to do that. Hope Mr Japhet and Mr Martin progress in their career ahead as they are doing a great job.
My Tour Guide Mr Martin was exceptional, knowledgeable and Strong man. He never made me and my husband feel uncomfortable. He ensured we enjoyed our experience. We did made few jokes on our way to our tour but he ensured we had a safe and comfortable journey. Mr Martin ensured we see the Big 5 and we get to see the animals very close and take pictures. He ensured we have enough pictures and videos. He is a very knowledgeable man. I salute for a man so knowledgeable.
Our tour was in the peak season. Due to Migration of animals and the wild beest. So our tour was value for money, expensive. However It was the best decision at the right time.
My tour was as follows Amboseli 2 nights Lake Nakuru 1 night and Masai Mara 2 nights.
We stayed in the following accommodations with meals onboard.
Amboseli Tulia Camp.
Lake Nakuru Sarovar Lion Hill Game Lodge.
Masai Mara Sentrim Mara Lodge.
I would say Tulia camp was one of the best accommodations. As our tent was right across the forest and we could see the animals in front of us. The camp was super clean and the staff was so kind and polite they ensured we had an amazing dining experience.
The fireplace was great and view below the night sky with the chilly weather made it romantic.
They also offered us picnic boxes which was filled with a lot of items to eat. Great way to enjoy your tour with the nature.
Sarovar Lion hill game lodge was great experience. They had an amazing place to see different kinds of birds in their hotel. They actually dedicated a space for the birds and a detailed information is given across the bird feeding place. Their food was amazing as well. The staff was polite as well. They ensured that we dined for our Lunch, dinner and Breakfast.
Please cross check with the hotel reception if your tour guide is staying with you or is having an accommodation. As it is not fair that My your guide Mr Martin had to go and stay in another hotel as we arrived little late.
Sentrim Masai Mara lodge was another camp for us to explore. At first we seen monkeys but they were not harming. Tents were cute.
Food was great. They did have an amazing bar and a fire place to explore as well.
Sentrim Mara Staff can be a bit better and polite with tour guides as I felt bad for my tour guide as here as well they did not provide any information if he will be staying with us in the same accommodation or not. I had to cross check with the reception if my tour guide is having a room to stay or not.
You have to take care of your tour guide as they are the ones who make your vacation a memorable and exceptional one.
