Earthwings Tours and Safari was WONDERFUL
Martin was wonderful. He was polite, friendly and took very great care of me. He devised a custom plan as per my dates and made sure I face no problems at all. Simon was knowledgable and understood what we wanted to see in Mara. Overall, Earthwings made my trip worthwhile and I would choose them all over again.

At Earthwings, everyone is reliable and keen to meet and exceed your expectations.
My experience with Earthwings was superb. Simon, my guide, was always punctual, reliable, and savannah-savvy. He also has a dab hand for photography so he's able to secure the best spot for you to make excellent pictures. Not just that. Any question you shoot him with, he has an answer for you. Animals, geography, geology, and even history (so many stories where Kenya's past is intertwined with the Italian one).

A safari that exceeded expectations every day
Booking a safari through Martin at Earthwings was efficient, and he was incredibly accommodating and responsive. The safari exceeded all expectations, as he worked to get us in the right spot for the best viewing every single time, while also respecting other tours and the animals themselves. We managed to see big cats every single day of the trip, eating prey and hunting. Martin was a sheer professional from his first email to dropping me at the airport with plenty of time to spare. I will absolutely be recommending Earthwings to my friends and family for their future safaris.

Successful Safari Experience !!
When visiting a country you haven't been before, it can be difficult to know who you can trust and who will deliver the best safari experience.
For us Earthwings Tours (Martin) ticked both boxes. From Day 1 of planning, we spoke to Martin over Whatsapp and it felt so easy to plan the trip with him. We had three different trips booked with him, and in all three occasions, there was no room for any disappointment.
We saw the Big 5 animals on our first day! It's not common for this to happen but Martin's determination to search for them made us confident, that our trip is in the right hands. He was also full of knowledge and very friendly.
We wanted to also see baby lions and guess what, that happened too! The whole safari experience was a complete success. I would not hesitate to recommend him.

A 10-Day Safari to Remember!
I arranged our safari directly with Martin, as it was important to me that we supported a local individual in Kenya rather than a giant corporate holiday firm.
Martin was incredible from the very initial enquiry and throughout our tour. He was great at communicating and helped me to create a bespoke 10-day tour visiting multiple places including Samburu National Reserve, Ol Pejeta Conservancy, Lake Nakuru National Park, Masai Mara National Reserve, Lake Naivasha and Amboseli National Park. He allowed me to ask a billion questions about the activities we could include (boat ride, walking safari, chimpanzee sanctuary, feeding Baraka the Black Rhino at a Rhino sanctuary and a masai village visit), change the accommodation to ones I’d picked personally and managed to help me keep a balloon ride and champagne breakfast in the Masai Mara a secret from my other half.
Martin’s knowledge of the animals is brilliant, and he happily answered all my questions about the animals, parks, local culture and country. We had Martin and the Land Cruiser to ourselves the entire time and Martin made sure we had plenty of time gazing at the animals we enjoyed most, never rushing us on to go elsewhere. We had a great giggle with Martin the entire time.
Martin works incredibly hard, he is very passionate about what he does, and this is very clear in his approach to work.
My advice to Brits – don’t feel you need to get a package deal, book your flights direct, get a hotel near the airport with a shuttle service and Martin will be there, ready and waiting to pick you up the following morning.
To Martin – thank you again for the most incredible holiday we’ve ever had.

Earthwings is as good as it gets.... trip of a lifetime absolutely guaranteed!!
From the early planning stages, to the days after our seven-day safari where Martin accompanied me to a non-profit assisting women and girls in need to whom we wanted to donate.......everything was arranged with care, tailored to our needs and beyond amazing. Communication was excellent from to get go. We embarked on our adventure with our 14 year old son. Although we had fantasized about what we would do and see during our Safari to Amboseli, Lake Naivasha, Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru, the actual experience exceeded every expectation we could have had. Martin is a most pleasant gentleman to spend a week in a Landcruiser with; we feel extremely lucky to have had him as our guide. He is humble, upbeat, very knowledgeable about all we saw, patient to answer all our questions, observes needs and wants of the different family members (important with a 14 year old) and adjusts plans accordingly. He knows the parks extremely well and through his connection with other Safari guides, always got us to where the action was. We saw more animals than we could ever imagine, everything we really hoped to see and much, much more. Our camps and lodges were amazing and the setting was beautiful. We felt welcome and happily returned to our camps and lodges when tired after the game drives. This was by far the best trip of our life, and we have travelled quite a bit. For this we owe Martin and Earthwings a humongous "Thank you."

Incredible animal experience, super guide, very professional, great price for solo custom tour
One of the best trips I have ever been on! As a solo female I felt safe all the time. Martin was reliable and created a custom tour for me that was perfect! He helped me to see so many big cats, the big five and the ugly five. He shared so much about Kenya and its culture and he even helped me organise the last part of my trip in Nairobi. Couldn’t recommend him enough!! Very reasonably priced too. Had an amazing trip

Excellent company
Beautiful family trip. 5 people including 3 children aged 6, 10 and 15 years. Excellent reception. We visited Samburu and Masai Mara parks and Ol Pejeta reserve. Every day we saw beautiful animals, while nursing puppies, playing, hunting, including the big five, and, in Samburu, the special five. Our guide, Henry, very knowledgeable, was friendly and also fun. Always professional. Everithing was well organised, starting from the pick up at the airport and throughout the duration of the trip, well organized in detail and always comfortable. Accomodations and meals were beyond our expectations.
