Reviews
great customer service and excellent value for money.
I visited Masai Mara, lake Nakuru and Amboseli and the entire customer service was excellent. African Habitat Safaris have a big heart to serve people and ensure they enjoy their holiday to the maximum. They called us regularly to ensure we had packed appropriate clothing, had our visas as we were coming from a different country. Upon arrival they called us every day to ensure we were okay up to the very last day. Excellent service.

a recap on Masai mara and lake nakuru safari with African Habitat safaris
It would be unfair to depart from expressing my gratitude to African Habitat safaris for such a memorable excursion. The big five reality and the natural Savana across Nassau Mara and Lake Nakuru aces became a five-day real life experience especially in the company of Rachel. That interaction with the local natives learning through the preserved cultural practices was also a learning experience. I appreciate the hospitality that came along with the accommodation, feeling more at vacation than home. That was this lifes cycle that I'd wish to be part of over and over again, am grateful.

My vacation in Kenya and Tanzania with African Habitat Safaris
An interchange pace-up and long drives across Kenya and Tz border proved to be a tour of a lifetime on its own,With much appreciation to African Habitat Safaris neo skilled tour operations. I must admit not getting exhausted but always yearning for next day of the excursion lookinh forward to what kind of surprises comes next admits it all. I got more surprised by the kind of modern tour operation depicted by Rachael, I am excited i was a part of the neo- touring experience that i look forward to once again.
Despite the mistimed tour in the Serengeti upon anticipation of the wild beast migration, Maasai Mara in Kenya was a consolation enough to make my vacation count.
Safari
I must admit last October was one of those memorable vacations that I'll live to remember in my life time. This with appreciation to African Habitat Safaris touring agency that transformed the five-day tour into a great lifes experience. First, it became clear I had a great tour to look forward to with the preliminary preparations that involved advance booking of accommodation and tickets involved. Lake Nakuru pink-carpeted with the Flamingoes was a superb view together with the very unique white rhino and the hot springs thereby. The full day game drive, and bird watching and wildlife tour across Maasai Mara crowned it all making the entire excursion a complete cycle. I applause the Rachael for such tour operations proving unique and distinguishing the tour from any other day.

Awesome,friendly staff and great moments
A trip of excellence.., this how I can describe our African Safari experience in the hands of African Habitat Safaris and her charming team of professional team. The total trip chemistry was just but one of its own Kind. The arraignments, the lodges, food, guide and services that give value for money.
We were on 9 days Kenya and Tanzania small group joining trip. Our contact was the charming Rachel Obonyo after a good friend who had use their services recommended her and her company. And true to her words, we got the best of experience than we ever imagined. From the point we dropped her email, Rachel did surprise us with an instant feedback with a more detailed trip itinerary that exactly matches our interest. All our numerous questions were well taken care of and none was left out. We built the confidence and with no wastage of time, made the 30% advance payment via PayPal.
When we got to Kenya, everything went as planned, we were picked up from airport by our guide Fred Oburu then took to the hotel and then to carnivore for dinner. This experience was awesome.
Next morning we kicked off for the trip. Fred is very much knowledgeable, experience and very much friendly. My daughter who is just 7 year was like she did meet a brother (Fred always call her my sister from another mother). We saw almost all the animals both in Kenya and Tanzania; the lodges were perfect, very clean and spacious with very friendly staff.
We are more than happy to recommend Rachel and African Habitat safaris to anyone who would want the best of experience in Africa. Very true to their services, Reliable, trust worthy and most importantly are always in 24/7 support while still on trip with them.
Thanks Rachel, hope to see you again soon

Wonderful experience made possible by great people.
The experience not only lived up to my expectations but exceeded it. The price range was at par with the services provided and the few hiccups were quickly ironed out rather efficiently. I since recommended it to a few friends who had nothing but praise for the communication and accomodations that they were given. I will for sure utilize their services again.

Obama and his beast are like Formel 1 Schumacher
My husband and me booked a 6-Days-Safari (Amboseli, Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara) in a small group (4-6 people) with this tour operator. No other clients booked the 6-Days-Tour, but the tour took place anyway. Deal is deal! Therefore we were alone with our Guide Obama in Amboseli. The unintentional privat tour in Amboseli was a great experience! We saw lots of elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, hippos and some others. It was amazing to see all kind of animals together on one place. Many wind roses and Mount Kilimandscharo were very impressive in the background. We booked the budget variant. That was the right decision! We slept in tented camps in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by nature with all kinds of animals. Beautiful!!!
On the way to Lake Nakuru we picked up another client. It was a long trip from Amboseli to Lake Nakuru Nationalpark. We were in hurry cause of traffic on the way. We had no more time to check-in before afternoon game drive, so we were heading straight to the gate of the Nationalpark. Despite the long drive, Obama was still motivated and ambitious to show us as much „attractions“ as possible! The first one was a rhino with his baby. It’s very rare, so we were lucky that we have seen it. The second „attraction“ was a whole lion family who walked next to us along the street. Impressive and respectful! Even Obama cranked the window, because the lion was so near! Despite the long exhausting day, we have been able to see some great animals!
On the way to Masai Mara we picked up a family of six. (Obama reckoned with three people!) All in all we were 9 client. To much for the van! Also, it did’t match our booked tour (4-6 people). The single guy had to chance cars. He continued the tour with people who had also booked the more expensive tour (more comfortable accommodation). We were still more than 6 clients, but Obama couldn’t do anything so far in the middle of nowhere without a second car. All of us had a seat, that was the main thing so far. All the luggage didn’t fit into the trunk and had to be stowed in the sitting room. There was only little space to sit, but it was okay. On arrival in Masai Mara we could leave our luggage in the camp, so we had more space in the car. Despite the circumstances (more than 6 people) we had no disadvantages in game drives. Obama tried to make the best out of it for us! All of us could stand up (pop up roof top) to see more! All of us had enough time to take pictures… We all got along well. In Masai Mara we saw some new animals; For example cheetahs and leopards. In the end we’ve seen all of the BIG FIVE (Lion, Rhino, Elephant, Leopard, Buffalo). Amazing experience!! On the last game drive, we were late to get to the gate (gate closing), but still we turned around and drove away from the gate. Obama got a call, so a new attraction had to be there; Cause of the efford of Obama, we could see a Lion Hunting. That was an impressive last sighting!
We are glad we stayed 6 days in different Nationalparks, cause we could observe how the landscape changes from NP to NP. We didn’t think about it before! In addition, the chance to see more different animals, especially the BIG FIVE is a lot higher!
Obama is a really careful, sociable and fun-loving Guide, trying to make it fair and comfortable for every single client. He was very knowledgeable about flora and fauna, the animal behaviour and the Maasai People. Obama said at the beginning: „Ask me anything and I’ll give you an answere.“ He kept right!!!
Obama without a phone is not Obama! He was always on phone or radio to organize the further course or to keep contact with other Guids in the park to exchange interesting animal sightings. That made our trip really unique!
Summarized, We can definitely recommend this tour operator. Rachel from the office
was always accessible and open to questions before the tour started.
During the tour, she made sure that everything was ok. Special Thanks to our Guide Obama, who made the trip really unique...! We can highly recommand him as a Guide!
