Lydia is wonderful. So attentive, knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating.
The tour was more than I ever expected. The accommodations were great, the itinerary was as well. Lydia took care of everything and even a couple of unexpected hiccups. She’s a pro and so friendly, so knowledgeable, and professional! Her tour guide Jeff is amazing as well. Will make sure you see what you came to see and then some! Would do it a hundred times over.

Lydia is everything a tour operator should be,knowledgeable, organized, kind, all around fabulous!
I would join this tour again in a second. From start to finish, Lydia had every detail covered. She walked us through all we needed to do for preparation for the trip. She answered every question, including those we never thought to ask. By the time I met Lydia in person, it was like meeting a friend.
The tour itself was beyond my expectations and imagination. The wildlife was stunning, so amazing that it was almost too easy to forget to look at the amazing landscape. Geff made the game drives such a memorable experience. He went above and beyond to give us opportunities to see wildlife up close (safely of course) and shared his vast knowledge.
The accommodations were very comfortable and relaxing. The staff at each place were delightful. Often no air conditioning (which i expected) but the cool rag I brought took care of that. Food choices were far more than I anticipated, particularly as I am vegetarian. Even as relaxing at dinner or looking from our balconies/windows at most the places, we saw wildlife.
A few suggestions for taking this tour (and it is worth every penny and more). Bring more shorts or convertible pants than pants. You are in the truck for the safari much of the time. You will want at least one pair of good closed toed walking shoes but rugged sandals were fine most of the time. I brought a cool rag which definitely helped, especially on the coast where it was so humid.
If this review does to state it enough, Lydia, Gefd, the safari, all of it helped create a trip of a lifetime.

The tour operators were friendly, knowledgeable and took great care.
This trip was the experience of a lifetime for me. It was good mix to observe the animals and to gain some insight into culture of the people. No effort was spared to make this safari a success. The personal attention given to us travelers and to our surroundings along the way was superb.
It can’t get any better than that. I highly recommend Lydia and her company.

Kenya was so much better with BosoDabreo
From the start Lydia was so easy to work with, she has an itinerary, ready with the places you’re staying the activities that will be taking place the time it takes to get to the new locations etc. Lydia is great with communication and responds promptly. The driver and guide Geoff is the best of the best, he is untouched when it comes to safaris. He is kind, respectful and so informative. He explains the animals and their habits but he knows exactly how to find and spot the animals, even if they’re miles away.
Money wise this your was well under my budget which was worth it. Having already gone on the tour I would still say it’s worth more, so the value for this tour is definitely well worth it.
I will be going on more tours with this company with groups and with my family. I can’t wait to see what Lydia has in store for other countries in Africa.

The operator, Lydia, is very caring, excellent organizer, uses one of best tour guide/driver Jeff.
Excellent value for your money. All major parks, plus 2 full days in a resort in Mombasa at the end. Lydia communicates immediately, helps to arrange visa, extra days, very reliable and personable
BosoDabreo tours delivered the 5 star adventure!
This adventure was by far one of the best travel values I have stumbled upon. Normally I am a solo, plan along the way traveler, I found this tour experience to be a game changer for those who wander the world on their own. Communication from Lydia was prompt with genuine friendly responses. All my requests were satisfied beyond my expectations! Maasai Mara was so amazing with once in a lifetime experiences! From my arrival at Nairobi airport to my departure at the end of tour, everything was taken care of by the conciencious and professional staff. Lodging along the way was clean, comfortable, safe with outstanding service! I Loved the lodges, each unique with that exciting flavor of exactly what you would anticipate on a safari adventure. Lydia and her staff go beyond the expected, ensuring their guests felt taken care of. High five to the very knowledgable guide and driver, Geoff, who made the journey very special! Keep up the amazing Job you are doing!

Reliable and exceeded all expectations!!
I am so glad I chose BosoDabrero Tours for my Kenyan Safari vacation! Lydia helped to curate the entire trip and it was truly the trip of a lifetime. She was quick to respond to any inquiries and helped with everything from the visa process, hotel bookings, guides, drivers, meals etc. The safari drives did NOT disappoint. I was blown away with how many animals we saw and traveling with our driver/guide Eric felt just like traveling with a brother/friend. Don’t hesitate to book your travel with BosoDabrero now!

Truly wild experience
From the very start I appreciated Lydia's communication. We got all the location information, documentation requirements, and a video chat to ask questions. She checked in throughout the trip as well. For the trip itself though... she picked some wonderful spots for us to stay! We glamped, we lodged near a watering hole, we got a fancy ocean view room. We ate good food, we saw all the animals. If you're lucky enough to get Jeff as a driver, you will see the best spots in all the parks. He made the safari so fun and was full of information. I definitely feel like we got our money's worth. We even got a ride to the airport after extending our trip in Mombasa. I felt very well taken care of and loved the experience!!

Accommodating, Knowledgeable, and Professional.
First off, I will never forget how Lydia and Jeff were willing to accommodate our tour with a last-minute date change due to flight cancellations. The tour was set to begin 13/6; however, two of the four people on our group were unable to arrive in Nairobi until the night of 13/6, so Lydia changed the tour to begin 14/6 instead. This was my birthday, and a great start to the tour. Thanks again to everyone involved in saving our trip. To miss the Maasai Mara would have been an incredible disappointment.
Our tour guide Jeff was incredibly knowledgeable and had many friends in the parks, which allowed for us to see the "Big 5" in the first 24 hours of safari. He also enjoyed taking photographs so he was happy to stay a little longer every time we stopped to make sure we took all the photos we wanted. Not all tour guides have this patience, and it was greatly appreciated.
The accommodations were incredible for the price; homey, not fancy, which is totally my style. We stayed in glorified tents at the Maasai Mara and lodges at both of the Tsavo parks, which were all clean, well maintained, and operated by friendly staff. One guy even hopped over the side of the building to rescue my shirt that had blown away. The food was okay, not a lot of variety from buffet to buffet but the quality was pretty good. I would recommend to bring snacks for between meals. The resort at the end of our trip in Mombasa was very nice, more high-end than I'm used to staying at and a great end to the tour. It was relaxing, the food was great, the different daily themes were fun, and there was no shortage of pools to lay by. I enjoyed our tour of Mombasa and Fort Jesus, as well.
Lydia and Jeff were communicative of meeting times, daily plans, and up front about any extra costs when they were involved. Very professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and safe. I felt comfortable at all times. I would recommend anyone book their safari with Lydia and Bosodabreo.
