Great Budget Safari
We chose a 5 day safari that included Masai Mara, Lake Navisha and Amboseli and opted to extend to 6 days. A few things to keep in mind when booking your own safari 1. The mini vans used for the safari are not the most comfortable and 2 people out of a possible 8 will NOT have window seats (but will have access to the roof). 2. They are not four wheel drive so if there is a lot of mud you WILL get stuck. 3. There is a lot of driving between parks (4-6 hours depending on where you go).
Our guide Albert was great. He took into consideration what everyone in our group wanted to see and paid very close attention to the radio to make sure that we didn't miss anything. He was also a fantastic driver.
Our accommodations were a mixed bag. Lenchada Tourist camp has a baboon problem and several tents have holes in them where the monkeys sneak into during the day. The food and staff there were great though.
We also stayed at Navisha Resort, which was fantastic. We were able to take a boat to crescent island and walk around with the animals. Definitely a MUST do if you are tired of sitting in a car. In Amboseli we stayed at Kibo lodge which was a luxury camp site just on the boarder of the park. Gift shop was over priced and we had the worst bloody mary from the bar- but everything else was fantastic and the perfect place to end our adventure.
Over all, very good value for the money, well worth it.

First Safari everything worked really well.
James is a really good driver. Felt safe All the Time. You feel that his passion is doing safari.
Expeditive, whell organised, good camp, great driver Denis! eat
That was an unique experience. I am quite satisfied for getting me from the hotel, Land Cruiser riding with excellent driver Denis. He is an experienced driver and we were able to get close and to shot great pictures of so many wild animals in Massai Mara.

Good quality for the price
The driver was pretty kind and dedicated, he did his best to show us as many animals as possible.
The car, although was quite big, was not actually very confortable, and it is something to keep in mind since you are spending lots of hours in there. Even if there are plug-ins to charge your phones, none of them worked at any time, so you'd better bring your bankpower.
When arrived to the tents, it is good enough, don't have big expectations, the hot water can take up tp 15 minutes to come and there is just one plug-in in the tent. But also, keep in mind where you are, good thing: internet connection available.
The restaurant is actually poor, not much choice and not good quality, so you'd better bring some snacks with you just in case.
The visit to the massaai village can be tricky, you find out, only when you arrive, that you have to pay 1000 KCH entrance fee, they show you how locals live and they ask you for more money, then they take you to the community school and again they ask you for more money and so on... be careful.
In general view, it is worthy as long as you don't have great expectations.

Reliable tour company
Our tour was a shared 4x4 vehicle and a 2-night 3-day tour with accommodation in lenchada camp. We were picked up from our hotel on time. Before the tour started, we paid a total of $680 for two people. Everything was as described. On the first day, we did a 3-hour safari until sunset. On the second day, we chose a safari to the depths of the masai mara for the whole day, and we did not do a village tour in masai mara. Because it would be unnecessary to make a short tour again on the 3rd day. On the 3rd day, we made a tour of the village of masai mara. We reached Nairobi at 16:30 in the evening. We did not have any problems with eating and drinking, but you can take food with you. The places we stopped to buy souvenirs were incredibly expensive. We got much nicer ones cheaper at the airport. I guess the tour is a bit dependent on the driver. Our driver was Khalifa. Thank you so much for seeing the big five.

Perfect option for a budget experience in Masai Mara
Strongly suggested if you are looking for a budget experience to enjoy the park at his best!
We went for the three days game-drive and the tour met the expectative. Kalifa, our driver and guide is certainly very expert and has a lot of contacts also with other rangers inside the park which is key in order to find the most interesting animals in the park. We saw lions (from veeery close) cheetahs, one leopard and a lot of elephants, giraffs and many other animals.
The accomodation was a simply tent camp but the tent are quite nice well equipped with a bathroom inside that was actually way more clean and nice that we expected. The staff was very kind
Despite some small problems (in any case part of the adventure), for instance we had some issue with the car (like a flat tire), I would strongly suggest to choose this agency if you are looking for a good experience at Masai Mara for a cheap price!
