Amazing!!!
Everything was perfect! Kindness, expertise, care for the details. Gerald was a fantastic game driver, with a great knowledge of the area and the wildlife, discrete, caring and tireless. He was great in tracking animals and shows a great love for them. He also has a great respect for nature and wildlife. Instead of resting, he drove one hour in order to help us finding a charger which broke, while we were dining at the resort. A trip with Features Africa is an amazing experience... thanks to all the staff!!
Tutto perfetto! Gentilezza, competenza, attenzione ai dettagli. Gerald è stato una guida fantastica, preparatissimo, riservato, attento, instancabile. Bravissimo nel trovare tracce e ha un grandissimo amore per gli animali. E ha un rispetto incredibile per la Natura e la vita. Anzichè riposarsi, si è fatto un'ora di strada per trovarci un caricabatterie che si era rotto, mentre noi cenavamo nel resort. Bellissima esperienza, grazie a tutto lo staff!!

An amazing experience with a calm, knowledgable and professional guide.
We went on an amazing safari that far exceeded our expectations.
The safari was organised well and we stayed in hotels at fantastic locations with comfortable rooms and attentive and friendly staff. Our jeep was also very comfortable.
Our guide was Gerald who we can not recommend highly enough. He was calm, considered and professional, unlike other guides who are manic and constantly drive with one hand whilst talking on the phone! Gerald was extremely knowledgable about the wildlife, ecology and landscape of Kenya and we got the impression that he really cared about them too. We are particularly interested in birds and Gerald showed us as many different species as possible whilst still making sure that we didn’t miss any of the large mammals.
If I go on safari in Kenya again, I will definitely go with Features Africa and Gerald.

Absolutely wonderful!!!
Our safari with Features Africa Journeys and our guide Antony were just wonderful in every way! From the minute we stepped out of the aiport until being delivered back to the airport 6 days later, we were perfectly taken care of. Our game drives and accommodations in Amboseli, Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara were even better than we hoped for. Antony made sure we saw everything we hoped to see - closer and more amazing than we expected! From finding Cheetahs in the middle of nowhere, to showing us a leopard wrestling its kill up a tree, Antony knew the parks extremely well, and was a wealth of information about the animals, birds and habitats we were experiencing. Thank you Antony, Karanja and Features Africa Journeys! It was the trip of a lifetime and we and our three children will never forget it!

They made everything easy and felt like we were taken care of every step of the way.
Features was helpful with the planning by providing several options to meet our budget and desires. Upon our first step in Kenya they took care of everything and even more than we expected. We truly felt that we were in good hands. The Safari tour was amazing, the vehicle was in great shape, and we had the tour to ourselves to dictate what we wanted to do. Our guide, George, did a great job of making sure we saw as much as possible and planned the game drives in a way that used our time best. Everyone that we met was extremely friendly and helpful. Karanja was very helpful in the planning and even with meeting us at the airport and taking us out to lunch on a layover so we could have a taste of Kenyan food. We highly recommend Features Africa

Perfect from Start to Finish!
From the time that I emailed Features through Safari Booking, choosing Features was a great idea. Karanja was quick and precise with his response, providing the perfect itinerary for the best price. He was able to take our basic package and add on a day in Nairobi with a great day trip to Nairobi National Park and the Giraffe Sanctuary to accommodate our late morning flight arrival. He additionally recommended the 4x4, which was the best way to go! Comfortable and we were able to get through any terrain! We say many vans that were getting stuck. Well worth the extra few bucks.
Besides Nairobi National Park, we went to Amboseli, Lake Nakuru, and the Masai Mara. I cannot recommend this itinterary enough. From seeing elephants beneath Kilimanjaro, to the Flamingos and Rhinos right next to Lake Nakuru, to the Cheetah and Lion and Masai Mara, everything was perfect.
The best part was definitely our guide, Antony, who was extremely knowledgeable and more than accommodating. He took the time to learn what we wanted to see and was able to adjust our daily activities to fit in as much as possible, which was definitely unexpected. We loved everywhere he took us, especially Umbutu on the way to Lake Nakuru. This is a must stop for lunch to learn about the amazing work they do to help the women and children of Kenya. Antony made our trip!
Will be looking to use Features Africa again in the future!

All round perfect trip!
We booked the semi-luxury 4 day safari from Nairobi to Amboseli, Tsavo West and Tsavo East and could not have been happier with our choice. Communication beforehand via e-mail was easy and Karanja generally responded very quickly and also offered to buy and print the train tickets for our onward journey to Mombasa for us. The lodges he picked more than lived up to our expectations and the different parks were all amazing in their own way - it was lovely to be able to see the changes in landscape and wildlife.
Our driver/guide, Nimrod, was professional and very knowledgeable and really added to the experience by giving interesting facts here and there and answering any questions we had. Traveling as two young women we felt comfortable the entire time. I especially enjoyed that he had an eye for fotography - he pointed out good shots and was conscious of how he positioned the car. Highlights included a cheetah, lions close to the car and jackals right next to the car, and a lot of elephants.

Excellent in every sense!
Before our trip Karanja has been in touch with us over e-mail and was always replying very fast and with high quality answers. A few days before our trip he sent us his mobile number and pick up details again. I caught an infection and we had to postpone our trip by one day on a very short notice (middle of the night before catch up the next morning). This was all handled by Karanja and we could postpone our safari by one day without any additional cost. What an outstanding service and thank you again very much!!
Our safari guide Nimrod picket us up one day later and was always very very friendly. We felt very welcome and enjoyed the 3 full days we have spent with him. He is a very good car driver and our long trips from Nairobi to Masai Mara and back were very comfortable with nice little breaks in between. We did an afternoon, full day and then morning safari with Nimrod, who was such an excellent guide. Not only have we been very lucky (not sure, if it's only luck or also Nimrod's skills) and saw all the big five (elephant, lion, leopard, buffalo, rhino), but also saw three cheetahs, a lot of giraffes and many other animals. Nimrod gave us a lot of background information about the different animals including their behaviour, different facts and if they are endangered. He was able to ask every single question we asked him. He was just the PERFECT guide for us and we were so so happy with out safari, this has definitely been one of the nicest holidays we have ever had, also thanks to Nimrod! Our lodge, the Ashnil Mara Camp, was very nice too and the employees extremely helpful and nice (e.g. guys to help us with the luggage were sent to our tent when we checked out without us asking at the reception (we mention to Nimrod and the waiter that we are going to have breakfast at 7am and they probably communicated this to the reception, so from 6:50 there have been luggage boys waiting in front of our tent).
Overall, this has been the perfect trip and worth every dollar that we have paid. If we are going back to Kenya, we will definitely book with them again!

Amazing experience
Visiting Kenya was an amazing experience for me and my friend and Karanja from Features Africa Journeys made it so easy and convenient to plan and see everything we wanted - from Masai Mara to Nairobi. I am missing Africa already ! :)
