Their itinerary planning and service matched perfectly with our needs and expectations
We had a wonderful 10 days in Kenya thanks to Fika Safaries. Their service was completely personalized and and helped match our expectations with the experience. Ester and Robert made us feel welcome and were very responsive to any questions we had or changes we needed to make. They also put together a great trip for us at a very short notice where they took into account the level of comfort we needed as well getting to see the best of kenyan safaris. The transport and travelling were seamless, beautiful accomodations..and the safaris glorious.

Authentic and flawless
Fika Safaris had given us an amazingly flawless Kenya experience. It was perfect end-to-end arrangement and we didn't need to bother about anything at all. It was a vacation where you didn't need to worry about anything, and everything is taken care of.

In 2 weeks we were blessed to visit; Tsavo West , Amboseli, 2 conservancies, one on the border with Tsavo West and one in Nakuru. And of course the Legendary Masaï Mara. So full two weeks of constantly discovering new animals and breathtaking scenaries. The camps and lodges were just heaven. The cars were very confortable so the safaris Amazing.

They are extremely detailed.
Fika Safari was extremely detailed about the whole tour. Our tour began in Nairobi. Our two nights at the Bixon Cottages was very comfortable. It is a very pretty cottage with detail oriented service from the hot water bags in the bed at night to every item in the room. Fika Safari arranged our tour from Nairobi to Ol Pejata to Lake Naivasha and ended with three glorious days in Masai Mara.
In Ol Pejata we stayed in Sweet Waters Serena. The camp was nice and cosy with antelopes roaming freely on the grounds.
Our trip to Lake Naivasha included a hike to Mount Longonot and a visit to Crescent Island. Both were totally worth a visit. Lastly our camp Ilkeliani in Masai Mara was breathtaking beautiful. The service there was impeccable.
All of the accommodations that were arranged by Fika Service were top notch and great value for money. Our guide who picked us up from the airport was David. He was very friendly, easy to talk to and very helpful. He arranged anything we needed at any time. Over the course of ten days he became our friend and was hard to say goodbye to him. Given that David does thousands of Safari tours he was so eager to show us everything the country had to offer. He made sure we got to see every animal we wanted to see and never grew tired of our demands. If I every went back I would definitely would not want to do the tour without David.
Thanks to Fika Safari we had an unforgettable experience in Kenya.

They make you feel like you are their only client.
We connected with Fika in April 2021 and started planning a trip for April 2022. We planned stops in Nairobi, Loisaba, Lake Naivasha, and Masia Mara.
Pre- trip
Fika was incredibly helpful helping us understand the current covid travel and Visa requirements to enter Kenya. The pre-arrival support made us feel extremely comfortable that we would not experience any delays while clearing customs.
Arrival –
Our guide David was waiting for us at baggage claim and was extremely attentive to our needs throughout the trip. His knowledge of Nairobi, Loisaba, Naivasha and all points between was impressive. No question went unanswered or request unfulfilled.
In Nairobi, they were able to secure the Karen Blixen suite at Giraffe Manor. The suite was fantastic. The staff were unbelievable. The food was delicious. But the Giraffe experience was unbelievable. Happy hour feeding, sunrise feeding off our balcony, and they even joined us for breakfast.
Loisaba Tent Camp – After a short flight from Nairobi our kids were greeted to their first bush drive where they spotted leopards, elephants, giraffes to name a few of the animals we saw on our drive from the air strip to the tent camp.
The tent camp was beautiful. The views we gorgeous. The staff was super. And again, the food was unbelievable.
Our guide John Scorpio was a pleasure to spend time with and gifted spotter of wildlife. On our last evening game drive, he was able spot a black leopard which is an extremely rare animal to see in the wild. What a way to finish our stay.
Lake Naivash/Loldia House –
After a 6-hour drive from Loisba to Naivasha we could not be more surprised by the idyllic setting that is the Loldia House. The property was wonderful. The food was great. The staff unbelievable. One of the most unique experiences was having breakfast while hippos and buffalo were “rough housing” mere yards from our table.
Masai Mara/ Elewana Sand River.
After a short flight we arrived in Masai Mara and were met by our guide Dickson. We knew we saved the best for last when within 30 minutes we found ourselves in the middle of a pride of about 20 lions. The abundance of wildlife in the Masai Mara makes it that you do not want your morning and evening game drives to end. Additionally, it felt like Dickson knew every inch of the park and knew where to find any animal the kids challenge him with locating.
The Elewana Sand River was classic tent camp. The setting, tent, staff, and food were a 10 out of 10.
We are already discussing and return trip and look forward to working with Ester, Robert, and the rest of the Fika team again!

Robert and Ester were so responsive and helpful. Which put us at ease planning such a big trip.
We visited Kenya 2005 and it was a trip of a lifetime. We wanted to share the experience with our kids and planned a safari for March 2020. We, like many families needed to cancel our trip. Robert and Ester provided regular communication as they worked with the different camps to reschedule/cancel our trip. It was a very challenging time and they were able negotiate fair refunds and credits. Based on our initial experience building our safari and working with Fika through our Covid cancelation we knew we would be planning another trip with them as soon as we felt comfortable, we would be able travel.
We reconnected with Fika in April 2021 and started planning a trip for April 2022. We planned stops in Nairobi, Loisaba, Lake Naivasha, and Masia Mara.

Perfect trip to remember
We had a trip from Friday (flight day) and a week later on Saturday evening return flight. So more than 7 days (private) safari through different parks. Started in Tsavo West and ended in Massai Mara. It was a great trip with a pleasant guide/driver (David) of a 4WD. We spotted a lot of animals and the shelters were very good. All in all an unforgettable trip tailored by Fiki Safaris. The whole trip was well taken care of and we lacked for nothing. We can recommend Fika Safaris.

Brilliant tour operator for an unforgettable trip to Kenya.
In 2015 bezocht ik Kenia voor het eerst. Toen, vrij spontaan, bedacht ik een safari te willen doen. Robert en Ester, van Fika safari, organizerde een te gekke week voor mij. Nu 6 jaar later, en vol zin om na de lockdown weer op reis te kunnen, bedachten wij wederom vrij spontaan een safari te willen doen. We hoefde niet lang na te denken waar deze reis naar toe zou gaan. Kenia! in ja, dan natuurlijk ook puts Fika. Het contact puts Esther en Robert was als vanouds. Gezellig, informatief, actueel en sprekend uit eigen ervaring.
We bespraken de opties en snel hadden ze door wat wij graag wilden en wat bij ons zou passen. Er lag een fantastisch plan klaar. De uitvoering daarvan was zowaar nog gaver! We hebben genoten van de prachtige parken met zijn adembenemende natuur en wilde dieren, de fantastische overnachtingsplekken en natuurlijke het heerlijke eten. Eleven driver Kevin was te leuk en leerde ons weer veel over het land en de dieren.
Alles was tot in de puntjes geregeld. Van opvang op de luchthaven, tot de prints van de vliegtickets.
We voelden ons daardoor heel veilig en konden zo dus optimaal ontspannen tijdens eleven reis.
We konden altijd terecht met vragen en kregen tips waar nodig, want reizen in corona-tijd blijft toch net een beetje anders. Het voelde heel erg fijn om iemand te hebben die zowel de Nederlandse als de Keniaanse manier van werken dan kent.
Wij zijn super blij met deze reis. Hebben van elke minuut genoten. Er is zo veel moois te zien en te beleven in Kenia. Lieve Robert, Ester en Kevin, Asante sana!
