We had the best time!
5/5

We had the best time on our Safari. We chose the suggested package which presented a great cross section of experiences and lodgings. Every single day was full of adventure! The gem in the Safari crown; our guides. I feel like we have two new wonderful friends. It wasn’t just that they couldn’t have been kinder but daily the wealth of knowledge they shared was jaw dropping. We learned so much. And, talk about eagle eyes! Wow! They could see what we could not. It was amazing. Now that our time in Kenya has come to an end, we all now have a severe case of game drive safari withdrawal. No doubt, the bug has bitten. We are already planning our return in 2024! Well done across the Wild!

Love it all! Can't wait to return.
5/5

In all the years of travel, I've never continue to think and most of dream about the vacation like I do now. This safari has given me an everlasting WOW. Fina has always been extremely responsive with emails in great detail.
The drivers & guides were fun, knowledgeable and experienced. We ALWAYS felt safe regardless of the locations. Our game drives, sundown and everything in between were awesome. I will tell you that our land cruiser was spacious and comfortable. We had driven through it all and never doubted it.
I can't wait to return to this exquisite country. I will continue to use Across the Wild as they are hands down best of the best. They will customize your adventure from add-on experiences to extending into other locations.
We are extremely pleased! Thank you team!!!

Extremely professional, prompt and accurate communication, superb service from start to finish.
5/5

Outstanding service from start to finish. Organising the trip and arranging the itinerary was seamless and communication via email was extremely prompt. The suggestions and advice were well received and turned out to be spot on. The trip and safari experience was every bit good. The driver and guide (David) was extremely professional and experienced, he provided a first class service. There were no hidden extra's everything as detailed in the itinerary was included and the Safari was good value for money. One particular highlight amongst many was the balloon experience and one extra excursion that we would highly recommend. I would have no hesitation in recommending this team to anyone who wants to Safari in Kenya

Professional, friendly & flexible service from start to finish!
5/5

My safari experience was absolutely incredible! From our arrival to Nairobi to our last day in Masai Mara as well as the pre-planning before our departure, everything was fantastic.

Our guide, Dedan, was phenomenal. He took a true leadership role and explained to us about the animals, safari etiquette, etc. Plus, he is impeccable at spotting animals.

It was such a life changing experience and I thank Across the Wild for being a part of it.

The best safari company in Kenya.
5/5

From the first contact with Fina I knew we were in good hands. Every idea and change to our itinerary was immediately dealt with. Whatever day of the week, Fina came straight back with the answers.
Then when we arrived in Nairobi she was there in person to meet us - a really great welcome ! She then introduced us to David our driver guide for the week. Where do I start ? Not only was he the friendliest, nicest man with a great sense of humour ( he needed it to cope with mine) you could wish to meet, but nothing was too much trouble for him, including finding a lost bag at the airport on the first day.
I think he knows - and is friends - with everyone in Kenya ! He made our week magical, visiting Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha and the Masai Mara, before returning to Nairobi. His enthusiasm was infectious and our three grandchildren rated it their best holiday ever !
We saw every animal - including of course the big five - many times. We only had to say to him what we wanted to see and miraculously they appeared a few minutes later !
I cannot speak highly enough of Across The Wild Tours, Fina and David. We could not have had a better trip, and I would thoroughly recommend them to anyone booking a trip to Kenya. We can’t wait to repeat the experience with our next lot of grandchildren.

Fourth time we, friends and family have booked with them and fantastic every time.
5/5

This is the third time we have travelled ourselves with Across the Wild. Friends who have booked with them have also had fantastic experience. Fina always takes time to listen to our requirements and budget and is very patient and diligent in tailoring our itinerary to suit. This particular trip we flew into Nairobi, then an internal flight to Mara where we stayed at Ashnil Mara Camp for three nights. Our guide, Kesea (Kool) was fantastic and knew exactly which territory to look for each animal. He made us feel like family. We took picnic breakfast and lunch to do a full day drive on our second day. We were rewarded with sightings of all the Big Five plus two cheetah feeding on a kill, all in one day! Our third day was also very successful with lovely elephant sightings and plenty of hippos and croc's in the river before a visit to the Masai village in the afternoon.
After flying back to Nairobi, David was our guide for the two days before we departed from Kenya. He was always good company, informative and punctual and nothing was too much trouble. We had an excellent morning in Nairobi national park with views of lots of white rhino and four lionesses on the move. This was followed by a visit to Sheldrick's, which is always special.
A big thank you to Fina and all the team at Across the Wild for another very memorable and excellent visit to Kenya.

Magnificent Safari Experience!
5/5

Across the Wild planned our most recent 7-day safari to Samburu, Lake Nakuru, and Massai Mara. This was our third safari working with Fina at Across the Wild and she attended to every detail in what was a fantastic, and flawless, experience. Our guide Dedan (second time) was superlative! His driving, patience, animal spotting (and anticipating) is unequalled in our experience, and he structured wonderful game drives at each reserve. Suffice it to say that Across the Wild has been my go-to safari operator in Kenya for over six years, and I have recommended them to many friends and colleagues who have also worked with them on amazing safari experiences. I am already working with Fina on our next safari!

Fina is the best! Warm charming and intuitively understands clients to give them the best experience
5/5

Fina gave us phenomenal service on short notice. She was very responsive and organized. She managed to get us into something that was booked out months into the future because she goes the extra mile. I will forever think of her as the go to travel agent for Kenya and other regions she covers.
