Best Safari ever
Safari with Okoa Africa Tours:
We were 3 nights and 4 days with Chef (which means chef) Vitalis and the driver Alifa on the way and it could not have been better, they have a special praise. The smooth email contact in advance was also good.
The only downside, you have to pay the rest of the paid safari in dollars in cash in the office, which led to fees of 45 dollars, because we have no dollar currency in Germany, had to be exchanged in Tazania, which was very awkward on the bank.

Great experience
We booked a 6 days budget safari to Masai Mara, Nakuru and Amboseli for two. Great price, did all as promised. Food, water, accomodation were very good. The driver, Stanley, was very nice except for the first day in Masai Mara when he was late, half asleep, didn't talk much..but he made it up later in the tour. Mark organised our tickets to continue to Mombasa from Emali, and gave as a free ticket.
We also booked a two days to Hell's gate and mt. Longonot, it was very nice and more than I expected. Good trekking and cicling, a bit of exercise. Mt longonot is not that easy. We had a private driver, Peter, he was really nice.
I had an extra week on my own, so I decided to do a 5 days trekking to mt Kenya. I wanted a group but it ended up to be just me with the guide and cook. It was a great experience! I wasn't very prepared but everything went fine. This last tour wasn't as organised as I wanted. Poor communication between Mark and the guide. Not sure how many days it was going to take, if food was included, if I had a sleeping bag, guiere.. everything at last minute. But everything went smoothly in the end. Charly and Jhon were very nice, great food, great experience!
We also decided to go with them because it's a Kenyan company. Totally recommended !

Great safari in Masai Mara, Nakuru and Amboseli
We did the 6 days Masai Mara, Nakuru and Amboseli Safari. Okoa Africa Tours is a reliable tour operator. The safari was exactly as written in the itinary. The budget tent camps are clean and comfortable. Our driver Gibson was great, he really did his best to show us everything (and we did).

Skilled staff..highly recommend!
I had an amazing 3-day Maasai Mara safari tour with Okoa Africa Tours.
Mark is very quick in response and has a great personality. We joined the tour from Narok but kindly instructed us on which bus to take to Narok and sent us a plan of the tour with detailed explanation of the animals found.
Also the driver, Kennedy, is highly experienced professional and entertaining. He knows the best time and place to watch sunrise and sunset, which are also the highlights of the tour beside animals.
Skilled staff and amazing tour...I would highly recommend!

Good basis safari tour, with good driver.
Communication was good, service also. The camping site was very basic, busy and noisy by night. Food was basic but okay. The safari tour itself was what we've expected. Sometimes it bothered us that other drivers really drove to close to the animals and disturbed nature. This isn't a good thing! Our driver knew that, and he didn't drove like that. Overall the trip was nice for what we've payed!

An outstanding, fascinating and unforgettable experience with very good price and professional team
My family and I experienced an amazing trip as everything was perfect and more than expected, starting from the preparations as Mark replied promptly on all of our inquiries and helped us in planning the whole trip until we reached what we desired. All what have been promised was fulfilled from the airport pick up till the drop off and whatever we asked for was made sure to be done. The Safari itself was a marvelous one, we were on a private safari and we had the best guide out there, Wyckliffe is an experienced one and very knowledgable, we were with him for five amazing days, we went to Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli. He showed us more than we imagined, we saw all of the big five, wild beast migration, cheetahs, hyenas, giraffes, zebras, hippos, flamingos, baboons...., he knew where to go and how to approach wildlife. He also was gave us wonderful road trips with very nice sceneries and explained everything to us and answered all of our questions. We had the chance to explore the country not only the wildlife but also the people and the beauty of Kenya. He is also very friendly and joyful, got the feeling that he is a family member, we enjoyed every single moment we spent with him. This safari experience was an amazing one, we enjoyed our time from day one till we said goodbye as everyone we met was very welcoming and helpful.
Thank you so much Okoa safari for this incredible vacation that exceeded our expectations in everything (safari, accommodation, carnivore restaurant, communication, and everything else), and very special thanks to Wyckliffe and Mark for all your efforts to make us feel happy and satisfied.

Amazing Safari with Great service
A thank you note for Franck(Our Travel Organiser) for putting together such a wonderful trip. Okoa Africa tours provided us everything that was promised and more - in fact, I fell in love with this place and its gentle old world charm. The weather was spectacular, lovely accomodation and gracious people. Our time in Kenya will be forever etched in our memory and we will continue to (and have been) singing its praises since our return. Franck- Once again, thank you so much for such an amazing trip n a mind-blowing hospitality. Much appreciated

Excellent tour in the Masai Mara Reserve
We were very satisfied by Okoa Africa Tours. We went for a 3-day safari trip to the Masai Mara National Reserve in a small group of 6 people. Our guide, Gibson, was passionate about his job and really did his best to show us all animals the closest possible! We saw all savannah animals except for the rhino and really enjoyed our time in Kenya.
