Antonio Safaris is a very responsive and very catering safari operator!
Everything went smoothly and almost exactly as planned. Emails were responded to within 24 hours, if not immediately.
We had 3 different drivers/guides. First, Charles picked us up in Nairobi and drove us to The Carnivore, The Kenyan National Museum, and Safaricom for sim card purchase. This was a last minute addition to our 6-day flying safari package. Everything went smoothly (mostly) and we had a good day. The next morning, Charles picked us up to go to Wilson Airport to fly into Amboseli. I was a little surprised that Charles didn't know which airline we were taking, but luckily, I downloaded all the itinerary and resort/flight reservations and we spent a few minutes looking for the terminal.
The flight was smooth, and once we arrived in Amboseli, we went straight into a game drive with Mr. Enoch. The car was older, but clean. He pointed out most of the native birds and animals, showing us pictures in his wildlife book. He had a sixth sense with these animals. We learned a lot about spotting different creatures. On the other hand, OlTukai Lodge (pretty popular and 4+ rating on TripAdvisor) was disappointing. The rooms were decent, but the food was terrible. Not Antonio Safari's fault. I would recommend a different resort. Faith, our safari coordinator, was very helpful in making little tweaks here and there to suit our needs.
We flew to Masai Mara and we're greeted by Mr. Benson. The car was newer and also clean. There was a cooler with water bottles and wifi in the car. He is super friendly and also very knowledgeable about animals and the parks. We stayed 2 days in Masai Mara (Mara Serena) and 1 day in Nakuru (Sarova Lion Hill). Both were good resorts, but the weather wasn't cooperating with us. Benson did his best to wait out the rain and still look for the Great 5. We saw everything (incl. White and Black Rhinos), except Leopards. On our way back to Nairobi, he stopped by a mall for us to grab lunch.
Overall, very nice experience and highly recommend to everyone!

Incredible, caring and great value.
What an incredible experience myself and my partner had with Antonio Safaris
The booking process was simple and Naomi made sure we got the perfect trip organised just the way we wanted it.
Our tour guide for the Safari was Antonio and this man is a legend. So knowledgeable about the parks and animals and somehow ensured we had incredible views of all the animals.
Antonio is polite but so funny and definitely had our best interests at heart the entire trip.
I can't say enough good things about this experience and I want to say a huge thank you to Antonio Safaris for making it so memorable.
I would 100% recommend them to anyone.

Excellent service and well organised
We booked this trip for our honeymoon and have been blown away by the fantastic experience that Antonio Safaris have provided. The booking process was easy and communication with Naomi was always quick, polite and informative. She made sure all my questions were answered! The payment process was also easy.
At the start of our safari, Antonio was our driver and came on time for our pick up at the hotel. He was very friendly and quick to make us feel welcome. The vehicle is spacious and comfortable. During our time in each of the parks, Antonio always made sure we had the best view and was determined to make sure we saw everything we wanted. He was super knowledgeable about all the parks and the animals, he was very happy to answer any questions. He also has superhuman vision which was great as he could spot things we couldn't.
Overall, we had an excellent experience and exceeded our expectations, we could not recommend Antonio Safaris enough!!

Provided perfect budget option for Amboselli
We had a wonderful 1 day safari from Emali to Amboselli. It was a perfect solution to stay at Kijiji Village in Emali from Friday to Sunday, safari on Saturday, Sunday back to Nairobi by train. This allowed us to keep the trip for family of 5 affordable. Anthony arranged us a great driver and lunch for us. We saw all the animals. Kilimanjaro was visible. Driver skilled to get closer to animals and find them. Recommend!

Perfect
Perfect choice! We did a private 1 day safari in the Nairobi park in a Land Cruiser and it was really worth it. We saw rhinos, giraffes, impalas and the attraction of the day, 4 lions! After that we visited the Elephant orphanage and the giraffe center, which were both worth including them in your visit. Choose Antonio, he smells animals from afar.
