They make you feel like you are their only client.
5/5

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!

They are extremely detailed.
5/5

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.
