very impressive trip with great service
Fika did an excellent job in offering a wheelchair accessible, tailor made safari. Fika was flexible. It was even possible to do a balloon safari above the Masai Mara.
Super advice from Fika-safaris on safari with small kids!
Where do you go with a tiny baby and two small children when you want to go on safari?
Robert and Ester from Fika-safaris gave us several locations and options to choose from. They were very patient and listened to our needs. Thanks to them we had a marvellous safari in Samburu with great wildlife-viewing and a child friendly lodge with enough space for the whole family!

Comfortable and relaxed trip with Fika Safaris
Recently me and my family traveled with Fika Safaris to Masai Mara. We stayed at Camp Ilkeliani. Robert put the trip together with much concern, because originally we had another hotel in mind, but suggested in the travel proposal was Ilkeliani Camp. For me, a less-known camp. That was very nice and surprising, that way you really get presented a personalized trip. Big plus: the car is yours alone and you will not be put together with other travelers. This is common in other travel companies.
On the trip itself, our driver / guide Amos ensured we felt at ease and comfortable. He testifies of experience and professionalism and has a good sense of humor. Also, I was amazed at his vast range of knowledge; he knows to answer all questions about the wildlife and landscape. He also prepared a lunch in the African landscape, with views of hippos! Every day he came by at dinner to ask for us and talk the next day through. This way we could tailor our journey to our own desires.
The small scale camp was very comfortable and quiet. The tents were spacious and offered everything you need, but you still feel like you are camping in the wild. Breakfast, lunch and dinner were good and in the right proportions. The staff is very friendly and there is a lot of attention to your stay.
In summary we had a fantastic trip, set up very personally and with care!

Wonderful experience
The communication with Fika Safaris went pretty smooth. Initially we wanted to stay at a lodge, which would be pretty expensive. They gave us a price for that lodge, but also for another one. One that suited us much better. It was nice that they gave us another, better option. The camp was wonderful, it had a deck with a beautiful view over the park.
Our driver was also pretty great. He had a good sense of humor and could tell us a lot about the animals.
Over all a very good experience, would definitely recommend Fika Safaris.

Wonderful area the Masai Mara, many animals, good tents, good people.
We had seen the pictures of the camp-place, tents, beds and bathroom were very good. The Masai people and employees were very friendly and protective during our stay. During the four days of safari we have seen many animals and there was time to observe them in peace. The breakfast, lunch (also the one we had for a picknick) and evening meal was good, not an overload of food, and we had the choice between vegetarian, meat or fish. The different kind of sounds from all the birds and animals in the park made that we really were on a safari. Especially in the morning the birds were singing lovely songs. We had a walking tour with a Masai and learned about the trees and bushes and how we could use the leaves and branches. We rested at the deck and saw from our chair more than 23 giraffes walking peacefully.

Excellent service!
Our family, 2 adults (one in a wheelchair) and our teenage daughter, booked with fika safari a tour of 12 days for Tanzania (Lake Manyara, Ndutu Area, Serengeti). It was the trip of our life time! Everything worked perfectly well, beginning with the booking procedure, the reception at the airport, the choice of accomodations, the excellent guide/driver plus the service while we were "on the road". We appreciated also that the owner wanted to know personally if everything was to our satisfaction when we were back home. Every aspect of this tour was handled with great care – we can therefore highly recommend fika safari. Asante sana!

Dedicated and personalized service and exceeding expectations
Our honeymoon through Kenya was full of exiting experiences and romantic places. From the outstanding wildlife in the Massai Mara with our friendly guide Kiema to the extreamely relaxing and welcomming surounding at Diani Beach. We also very much apriciated the preparation of our honeymoon. During a Skype conversation we explained what kind of feeling we would like to experience during our holliday and what we wanted to see. We did not know where to go, but Fika Safaris managed to give us everything we dreamed of! A very romantic honeymoon we wil never forget! And there is not a thing we would have changed. Thank you!

Wonderful safari in Kenya for wheelchair person
The communication with Fika Safaris was easy and fast, both by mail and by phone.
Robert was always available to solve our doubts and suggest solutions to our special needs.
The services provided were the expected. We were received in the airport by our safari guide. A fast meeting with Ester and Robert to review with us all the details of the safari, and as they commented, this was our safari and any problem, complain or requirement, they are available to solve it. We didn't need it, because all was as was planed.
We visited Tsavo West, Amboseli, Lake Naivasha and Masai Mara. The accommodations were perfect. Completely adapted for people with high disability. All of them wonderful, with a very friendly and profesional staff.
It depends on each case, but we would suggest always the 4x4 to enjoy it at 100%. It is only for people who don't need travel in their wheelchairs and can be transferred to the car seat, because the adaptation is just 2 ramps to mount the wheelchair in the car, but the door is too small to mount the person in the wheelchair.
Macharia, our safari guide managed all perfectly. He explained us all the details of each place that we visited, the animals and plants that we found, and solved the few troubles that we found, as for example, the lunch in Naivasah's hotel where we arrived with a big delay by a traffic issue crossing Nairobi.
By his long experience, he knows the best places to find the animals, and the places to take the most beautiful photos.
In summary, a fantastic vacations that met all our expectations. We recommend Fika Safaris to all the people who want visit Kenya. We hope repeat soon and visit also Tanzania with them.

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!

Fika Safaris has excellent service and flexibility, communication is friendly and adequaat.
We went to lake Naivasha and lake Nakuru. Fika provided a good jeep and an experienced and pleasant driver. On both places we had a very nice place to stay. The trips, tours and walks were surprising and magnificent.
The highlight was our stay in Masai Mara. An excellent lodge with very good food, a great jeep driver and guide. It exceeded our expectations.
We can only recommend Fika safaris!
