Extraordinary Tour with the one and only Tony Cruize
We've had a 4-day trip from Nairobi to Amboseli, Tsavo West and east, ending in Mombasa. With our guide Tony Cruize it was so special! He knows all about Kenyan wildlife, is an excellent driver and passionate musician. It was an extraordinary experience!

Very good
My dealings with Kenya Bush Safaris were excellent from initial contact until after our safari had ended. Our driver turned up at the agreed time, drove us to the Masai Mara and we had 3 excellent game drives - one the afternoon we arrived (though our driver did a detour en route to the hotel when he spotted a herd of buffalo). Our driver was excellent. He was good company, knowledgable and wanted us to have the best safari experience we could. Kenya Bush Exhibitions also arranged a hot air balloon ride (at a cost cheaper than what the hotel was charging) which I would highly recommend.
My only criticism would be that on our last morning we wanted to see if we could see some giraffes in the wild as we didn't manage to see any previously. To be fair we did try but not for very long. Instead we were taken on an optional visit to a typical Masai village. We were stunned to be charged 3000KES (about £15) per person for the visit. The chief who greeted us said after the tour we would visit the gift shop and then invited to make a contribution to their education fund. As we were leaving Kenya the following morning we had very little Kenyan shillings left and even less when we left the village. They seemed very adept in extracting money from the tourists! We would have preferred our time looking for giraffes rather than going to the Masai village. In our opinion, as it was an optional visit, we should have been given the choice and certainly advised about the entrance fee. We felt put on the spot as once we had arrived we were committed to the visit.
That was the one issue we had on the whole tour and would not want anyone to think that it somehow ruined our experience. It didn't. We just felt we should have had the option of how we spent our last morning and what to expect should we have chose to visit the masai village.

Great customization and guide
We were able to go on a 2-day safari with just the two of us, me and my husband. Private. I loved that they let me pick the hotel for the overnight, and it was lovely. I recommend "La Maison Royale Mara Camp" as you can watch the animals moving in the bush during your breakfast. The site is beautiful. Back to Kenya Bush Expeditions. They made me feel very confident during the paying, they answered any questions I had via WhatsApp. The guide himself ended up being very friendly, fun and professional. It was a lovely safari, and I recommend Kenya Bush Expeditions to all. I had gone on one other safari in Masai Mara in 2019. It was a group tour, and was the most affordable option. This option I have taken in 2023 is a private tour, and does not cost much more at all. I say, go for it.

Great tour with excellent guide
We had a great experience with Kenya bush expedition. Communication was quick and easy, they picked us up on time. The hotel were great and in.side the parks so with beautiful views and landscapes. We had a guide who drove very safely and showed us many animals. We recommand and would book again with them.

Fantastic guide for safari adventure
We took a five day tour to Amboseli, Tsavo West and Tsavo East. Amazing landscapes in three different parks, totally worth visiting. Our wonderful guide Steven had a lot of knowledge about the animals. Accommodation was good and the trip was well organised. Highly recommended!

100 % trustfull and reliable. The trip is worth every single dollar.
One of the best expierience in my life. I booked as a single the 5 day tour from Mombasa, Tsavo East and West and Amboseli to Nairobi. With Stephen I had the best driver and guide on my side I can had. He was not always just in time and punctual, it was also a perfect match on the human site. He tried closely everything to get the best spots in the park with the animals so that you get amazing pictures from the most animals. He had a very good knowledge about the wildlife and was very expierienced and had eyes like an eagle and see everythink already from a far distance. It was a realy emotional and positive adventure and I can recommend evrybody to booking with "Kenya Bush Expeditions". I had nothing to complain. Just that the tour was to short. I would defnetly booking again with them.

The perfect balance of knowledge and personality
Kenya Bush Expeditions as a company were great to deal with. They were easy to contact and responded quickly and clearly. It was a breath of fresh air compared to a lot of the other communications we had with companies in Kenya.
Tony, our guide, was the highlight of the trip. My girlfriend and I instantly connected with him and he made the safari a hundred times better with his enthusiasm and understanding of the area and wildlife. He made sure we saw what we could of the big 5 but more than that he clocked that we were enthusiastic about seeing all the animals big and small. So we got incredible shots of a huge number of birds and small animals. He found us great places for sunrises and sunsets. I cannot recommend this adventure enough.
Very good experience for a very good price
The private guided tour was amazing and our individuall wishes (one night in a Masai Village) have been made possible.

Well organized, experienced and professional tour provider
We have planned a 5 day expedition starting from Nairobi and ending at Mombasa. Our tour was well planned and organized throughout the stay. The communication with the team prior to the start of the tour was reliable and the driver, Stephan, was well spoken, professional, always on time, and provided a lot of insights during the expedition. Overall, we had a great time and much satisfied with their service. Look out of them and their great service.
