Reviews
Good tour
The safari was really nice.
However Amboseli is the nicest to see, I would recommend to stay longer in this park. There is no much to see in Tsavo west (too many bushes).
The hotel are okay and well located except Amboseli where we were far from the reserve (50 minutes).
Our guide was really nice but it would have been great to have longer day (safaris start at 7 and end at 12).
Kenya Bush is a reliable organization and they are really reactive, you can trust them

They are good to go with
Hi we have visited Kenya through Kenya Bush Expeditions. We found John very cooperative. The Guides provided to us by him namely Geoffrey , Tonny and Peter were knowledgeable, providing us detailed information about the animals and Birds we saw . Patience shown by them whenever we were taking Photographs or looking at Animals and Birds. Tonny was amazing as he is a singer , photographer in addition to guide so it’s an icing on the cake. Overall it was amazing experience going with Kenya Bush Expeditions to Kenya.

Good transportation with knowledgeable and courteous drivers cum guides, stay arrangements not ok
We were a group of 19 from India , right from the beginning of the tour till the end the guides cum drivers (Mr. Geoffrey, Mr. Tony and Mr. Peter) were very courteous and had good knowledge of the jungle routes ,animals and birds. They were patient enough to wait for us whenever we requested for a good sighting. Our stay and food arrangements were not up to the expectations we had as being mostly vegetarians the options very few, quality of rice was good and fresh, in most of the jungle camps electricity and Wi-Fi/network were very limited or totally absent. Overall a good experience. Advise to all , the local cell network works best with "Safari", "Telkom" is useless ,it available only within Nairobi city limits.

Very Enjoyable!
We enjoyed our experience with Kenya Bush expeditions. They were very responsive in all communications and even accommodated our need to change the itinerary when we mistakenly booked for the wrong date! Our driver and guide, Erick, was very enjoyable and did a great job! We visited 3 different parks (Amboseli, Tsavo West and Tsavo East) and though there was a lot of driving...the game drives were good and each resort we stayed in had a unique safari experience (the Photo Hide @Tsavo East--excellent--so close to the elephants..amazing!).

3 days Masai Mara tour
Our 3 days Masai Mara family tour was an amazing experience with Kenya Bush Expeditions, and we took back special memories with us.
My main concern was that I had my kids aged 4 and 8 in the tour. But Peter, a very friendly and experienced driver and guide, had things so well organized and planned, taking care of our comfort and needs throughout the tour. The agenda was well planned to suit our comfort.
I would definitely recommend Kenya Bush Expeditions.

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.

Meeting the Maasai and safari in Amboseli
Our full day trip to meet the Maasai and experience Amboseli National Park was nothing short of amazing and an experience we will never forget.
Our guide was knowledgeable, professional and had a great sense of humor. The Safari was spectacular. We saw a huge number of animals including lions, hippos, giraffes, hyenas, zebras and elephants. Lunch was at a lodge in the park which was a great african inspired venue serving good food.
The visit to meet the Maasai was really good. Entertaining as much as educational about the way they lived, their culture and how they treated disease and sickness. An experience that won't be forgotten. The downside, and Im being picky here was at the end when we were pushed heavily to purchase items they pretend are made by the Massai in the village at extremely expensive prices, when they are nothing more than mass produced souvenirs found at every airport throughout Africa. Otherwise, and extremely good day from start to finish.

Masai Mara trip (2 nights, 3 days)
I was picked up from my house in Nakuru and driven to meet the tour group in Naivasha. This was very convenient as I did not want to have to travel to Nairobi. Overall, the trip was very exciting and our driver made sure we saw as much as possible in the national park. However, I felt the driver could have been a bit more friendly. I do think that the experience really depends on your driver. Our tour group was a combination of people from all different safari companies which surprised me. Often we were not sure of the exact schedule. However, I did have a very enjoyable experience and highly recommend visiting the Mara.

Not so good
We booked a 5-day Safari between Tsavo East-West, Taita and Amboselli. The quality of the facilities is very good however the time spent on the Safaris was very little (in fact we saw very few animals). Much of the tour was spent in moving from one park to another. We usually arrived at the lodge to check in around 12 noon and the guide took us to the safari directly at 3 p.m. for only two to one and a half hours. All this money for two hours a day of safari doesn't seem like the best.
We were finally very disappointed when we were taken to see the rhinos in the special reserve near Tsavo...the guide arrives there for 4:30 p.m. and after 20 minutes makes to leave since the park closes at 5 p.m.; but couldn't he have taken us there earlier?
finally, the guide did not seem the least bit knowledgeable to us and never wasted time looking for animals (he even came without a spotting scope!).
