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.

This operator takes punctuality seriously. He came on time for all our events
Our tour guide was very conversant with the roads, lodges and very knowledgeable about tracking where the animals were. We saw four of the big five. The driver was very friendly and always ready to help us.

Dependable and friendly.
Our guide Tony was great, he was friendly and capable at his job going out of his way to make our time enjoyable. The service was superb and timely, there's quite literally nothing that I can fault.

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.

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 appreciate the sincere recognition of the fast response and the last minute yet effortless customization of your trip to Kenya. 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. We hope to see more of you for exhilarating Safari experiences in the future. Warm regards from Antonio Safaris.

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.

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.
