One of the best yet
This is my fifth year taking groups on the safari excursion and I must say that this year was one of the best yet. This was my first time using Antonio Safaris and will not be my last. Superb customer service. Top notch vehicles and a provided knowledge on each location.

An Unforgettable Safari Adventure with Antonio Safaris
I can't begin to express the gratitude and admiration I have for Antonio Safaris for making our Kenya trip in August 2024 an absolutely extraordinary experience. As a family of four, we were treated to a spectacle of wildlife that we'll cherish for a lifetime.
Our knowledgeable guides, particularly Evans during the first eight days, were exceptional. Evans's passion for wildlife was infectious, and his ability to spot even the most elusive creatures was astounding. His powerful Canon camera captured breathtaking moments that we'll treasure forever. Thanks to Evans, we were fortunate enough to witness the Big Five, the Ugly Five, and the Special Four, and his expertise in identifying various animals and birds was truly impressive.
We were also fortunate to meet Jimmy, our second guide, who introduced us to the enchanting Cheetah and her cubs. It was a perfect ending to an already incredible journey.
Antonio himself was a pleasure to deal with. His meticulous planning ensured that every detail of our trip was taken care of, from the comfortable accommodations to the delicious meals and beverages. The safari vehicles were reliable and sturdy, even after long days of exploring.
I wholeheartedly recommend Antonio Safaris to anyone considering a trip to Kenya. Not only will you witness the breathtaking beauty of the wildlife, but you'll also be accompanied by passionate and knowledgeable guides who will go above and beyond to make your experience unforgettable.

Super easy, hassle free last minute trip to kenya
My husband and I decided to go to Kenya just 3 days before we departed. We contacted Antonio Safaris and said we wanted some time in Nairobi, the coast, and Amboseli park. Our friends gave us a few recommendations for lodging, which we passed on to Antonio and they were quickly able to book those places for a great price. Our travel experience was hassle free, with easy transfers, low key flexible schedule and no hiccups along the way. If you’re looking for a well priced, not too structured or touristy experience but with all the moving parts taken care for you, this is a great company!

We are glad that you found our services exceptional, hassle free and flexible, all at a great price! We will strive our best to keep and even surpass the standard set.

Comfortable & Exciting
Everything was organised very well, except the hot water in the tent. Our driver-guide Tony was very friendly and sociable, he found many animals for us. The safari was comfortable and exciting. Having lunch in the bush with such great views was amazing. Thank you!

Posted on Aug 28, 2024Thank you for your wonderful review, Diana. We are grateful for the appreciation of the tour organization. Our sincere apologies for the hot water in the tent part. We are, however, pleased to know that Tony's exceptional service and professionalism in the field during your Safari did not go unnoticed. Picnic lunches in the bush are a blast! :) We hope to see you in the future for bigger and better Safari experiences. Best Wishes to you.

Great Experience
We booked a 5-day tour with Antonio’s in August 2024 and stayed at Amboseli, Lake Naivasha and Maasai Mara for five nights. We met our driver Tony at our hotel in the morning on the first day and on the last day since our flight was at 11pm so we asked him to take us to the shopping mall and dinner. He dropped us off at the airport around 8pm. Through the trip Tony arranged the daily itinerary including check in at the camps, taking care of the park tickets and boat tour, planing stops to rest and shop on the route. He knows both parks and surrounding areas very well(driving without a map) and took us to see all the animals. The car was a modified Land Cruiser with open roof, one of those commonly used in safari. We booked Fairmont Mara Club ourselves and the company was able to customize the package based on that. All communication was done through WhatsApp and emails before the trip and once we got there we kept using WhatsApp with our driver Tony. We forgot to bring US 100 notes after 2009 (for counterfeit reasons) for the remaining balance of the tour but the company allowed us to pay with credit card. So please remember this if you don’t want to pay the 4% fee. Overall we will give a five star rating to the whole experience. Highly recommend.

Exceptional
Antonio provided an exceptional experience during our Safari. From the very beginning, when we started discussing our family package, he was incredibly attentive and fair, ensuring that all our needs were met. His careful and experienced driving made the journey from Nairobi to Maasai Mara smooth and enjoyable.
The services included in the package, such as camping tents, meals, and the balloon ride, were outstanding, delivered by a highly professional and caring staff. Antonio’s deep knowledge of the Maasai Mara and his connections within the community were evident—he was able to guide us to see all of the Big Five and many other amazing animals in just three game drives.
Antonio also found a perfect spot in the middle of the savanna for a memorable afternoon lunch. As someone who has lived in Kenya for the past year, I can confidently say that this is a top-tier service. We will undoubtedly book more safaris with Antonio in the future.

Professional, friendly and delivering on their promise of a wonderful experience
We had the pleasure of visiting Kenya and it's magnificent nature on safari with Antonio's Safari. Going with them was the best decision we made for our first safari trip. Our booker Naomi, listened to our wishes and put together a great presentation on where we would be going, what we would be doing and what was included. Her support was wonderful through out the process, responding quickly and answering all our queries. The accommodations for each place were wonderful, especially Kibo Camp in Amboseli!
At the safari our driver Benson was amazing. His knowledge of the surrounding nature gave us insight into the history of the savanha, it's people and it's animals. A wonderful person and guide.
Thanks again Antonio's Safari, we are very happy for the experience you provided us with.

Everything you could want in a guide and tour
Antonio was the best safari guide we could of asked for. He was extremely professional and really cared about our happiness. His driving was also very impressive. We always felt safe with him and our needs were his number one priority at all times. My dad's birthday was during our trip and he had contacted the hotel to sing to him with a birthday cake after dinner. There was also a birthday card waiting in his room when he returned from dinner. He made the day even that much more special. On the day of our departure we arrived very early to Nairobi and instead of dropping us at the airport to wait around for hours, he brought us sightseeing. I would highly recommend Tony and would use his services again whenever I return to Africa.

Amazing times in Masai Mara
We had an amazing time we Evans as our tour guide. Everything during the trip went smoothly. The communication was excellent. The company was able to customize our trip to our likings. Along the way they gave us various options to pick from to make our trip unique and special. A can say enough words about how lucky we were to be paired with Evans as our tour guide. He was extremely knowledgeable, passionate, and had amazing eye to spot animals. We spent 5 days together on the trip and at the end we felt like close friends. 100% recommend and hope to see them again in the future.
