Trip of a lifetime with the best team!
It is so hard to put into words how incredible this trip has been! We expected to have a great time, but our expectations were far surpassed.
We are 2 friends who came from the UK on a last minute trip to Kenya. It has been so easy to organise our safari experience through Earthwings, even though it was very last minute! Communication was easy and all our queries were answered.
This has truly been a trip of a lifetime. We enjoyed ourselves from the beginning of the journey right up until the end. Lake Naivasha (an extra part of the trip) was incredible- we saw hippos, different birds and giraffes grazing on crescent island.
Lake Nakuru was amazing! The hotel was so beautiful, the food was DELICIOUS, and the game drives were spectacular. The main highlights were seeing white rhinos a few feet away, and herds of zebras having their morning drink.
Last but not least- the Masai Mara. Frederick and Martin went above and beyond to make our experience the best we could have hoped for. Not only did we see the big 5, we saw amazing scenes of predators feeding, families playing and giraffes fighting. Martin and Frederick are very knowledgable and made our game drives so entertaining.
The hotels (Sarova) were beautiful, with delicious food and the kindest, most friendly people you’ll ever meet.
I could not recommend this team more- they’ve given us so many incredible memories, and have been so accommodating. We are so sad to be ending our journey, and are super grateful to Martin and Frederick for all the laughs, the stories and the animals!
Thank you!!

A priceless experience!
Immediately upon getting picked up by Martin at our hotel, the experience was easy, comfortable and as Martin would say “Hakuna Matata”. We did the 3 day game drive to Masai Mara from Nairobi and it far exceeded my expectations and a lot of that was due to Martin himself. At all times he was attentive to detail, listened and made sure we were comfortable and well cared for. As other reviewers noted, Martin knows how to spot the animals (trust me, if you have never been on a Safari it is an adjustment for newbies to spot a lot of animals). He also went above and beyond to make sure we saw lions on a day when lions seemed to be in hiding for everyone; staying out 11 hours instead of the normal 8. You book Earthwings for the level of care, personalized consideration and knowledge Martin provides; at many times we witnessed Martin advising and pointing other guides to the correct locations for animal sightings. This is what you want in a guide, someone who makes sure they provide the utmost service and hospitality for their clients. Thank you Martin for answering all our questions, sharing meals with us and finding all the great petrol restroom breaks! You really made our trip!

Nice personnel with lots of knowledge that they happily share and also good wildlife spotters.
The tour was a highlight from beginning to end. This was due to Martin and Fredrik of the company, the appropriate vehicle, Landcruiser, the good hotels with wi-fi and the possibility to see many animals although it was a bit off-season in Maasai Mara.
The trip was good value for money so in total we can really recommend the tour.

Wonderful!
We did a 3-days Safari in Maasai Mara. We were lucky to have Sam as a guide who was very kind, enthousiaste and positive. The Safari was incredible, it’s such a wonderful experience. I really recommend you to chose this company, they are on-time, very organize and super welcoming. Thank you Earthwings, you made this adventure unforgettable.

Martin was absolutely amazing!! The eight wonder of the world!! .
We booked our 3 day Masai Mara Safari with Martin about 7 months in advance which was easy and stress free and the communication with Martin was simple thru Whats App and if i had a question he would answer within minutes. Martin picked us up at our hotel at 7am the morning of our safari and drove us to our hotel at The Ilkeliani Camp inside of Masai Mara Park, we loved it! Martin went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and having a great time. We saw tons and tons of wildlife, even in the low season Martin knew where to go to see some action, it was amazing and very affordable and well worth the cost. Martin was on time, very professional, and reliable, and also offers
day tours in Nairobi, which we took advantage and i'm so glad we did because Nairobi is a big city with a lot of history and great food. I would highly recommend the tour to Kibera slums. I would definitely book with Earthwings Tours and Safari again!

Martin and Fredrick were simply the best!
My friend and I had a short trip to Nairobi and decided to do a safari at the very last minute. We came across Earthwings Tours and Safaris and after a few email and WhatsApp interactions with Martin we were booked on a 3-Day private safari in the Maasai Mara National Reserve. Martin made sure to cater to our needs every step of the way. The 3-Day program was tailored to our desire and I really like the flexibility we had. Our Guide and driver Fredrick was simply the best. Extremely knowledgeable and fun to drive around with. He knows what he is talking about and it was amazing listening to all his stories and experiences in stories about the wildlife and the park. He made sure we saw 4 of the Big Five and I can honestly tell this was spectacular. I would not hesitate to book again with Martin and his team.

Bucket List Trip.
The most amazing experience! Martin and his team created the perfect balance of adventure, game drives, balloon rides, souvenir shopping and local history of the Masai Mara and its peoples. Our cameras are filled videos and images documenting our sightings of leopards, giraffes, lions, elephants, hyenas, zebras. The game drives in both Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara provided a close encounter sighting one al least of the big five. All thanks to Earthwings Tours and Safari!

Superb honeymoon safari with Earthwings
We are so pleased we chose our honeymoon safari with Earthwings.
Martin was excellent from the very beginning, helping us organise a bespoke 4 night / 5 day safari in Amboseli, Lake Naivasha and Masai Mara.
Our guide/driver Steve was amazing too. He was incredibly knowledgeable, patient with all of our questions (we had a lot!) and made sure we had an amazing time. We got to see so much more than we had ever anticipated on our first ever safari (lions, leopards, elephants, cheetahs - the list goes on and on).
We highly recommend choosing Earthwings for a Kenyan safari, they have been really professional all the way through. We’d give them 20 stars if we could!
